Love poem medley by Rudy Francisco at Mira Costa College (@rudyfrancisco)

[@TheJennbooth]

In May, I met someone who has changed my life. In June, I told him I loved him and despite everything, he loved me too. In July, my boyfriend passed away. In August I received a parcel, including nine envelopes. One of them was full of poems he wrote for me, but inside there was also a slip of paper with a few links to KZbin videos. 'Good poetry to make up for my bad poetry.' In September, I finally gathered the courage to watch the videos. This was one of them. I can't thank you enough.

[@apoetunleashed4870]

Thanks for sharing your story, you were blessed with a God-send but unfortunately angels sometimes have to return home. God bless.

[@kissdacheek]

Oh, my heart 🥺 such a beautiful heartbreaking story. I hope you’ve been able to heal and find love again 💗

[@Nemodaydreamer]

I pray you find enough courage to let love back in and I know your boyfriend wants you to be happy and smile. Thank you for sharing. I will make sure to hug my hubby a little long and remember your story. God bless.

[@armonycolon3265]

I watched this over a thousand times and the words still give me chills

[@DominiqueVictoriaTV]

I saw a GIF of a line from this poem on Tumblr months ago and I couldn't get it out of my head because it was so beautiful. I finally decided to find the entire poem and I'm so glad I did because this is so amazing.

[@icechik10]

Thats exactly how I found this ! lol i'm so happy I did too

[@MsChioma23]

love this please check out my poem for the woman who loves to love

[@Slaylabaelani]

4 years later and it still sounds like the first time I've heard it, I love this one forever !

[@rudyfranciscothepoet]

I think 6,830 people would disagree. Well...writing poetry that "sucks ass" got me 3 city grand slam titles, a national poetry slam title, an individual world poetry slam title and a national tour. You should try it out and see where it takes you lol

[@EarlyMourningg]

Rudy Francisco thank you for your talent. We don’t deserve you

[@ericgoodman3305]

i have been watching this over the last 8 years here and there...... never gets old.

[@DjRavine]

That was both hilarious and touching. Enjoyed it immensely. 5 star - Oh wait, thumbs up.

[@lalitaa5065]

I could watch this forever. Every word is breathtaking. Spoken word is an art form that needs to be revived. Lord find me a man who can pour his heart like this😫

[@shippynippy]

i love how he sounds like he's on the verge of tears throughout the entire thing.

[@Vaughany335]

I want love like this to exist. But this is... too beautiful for me to believe in. Words are always wonderful but... no one loves like this. We are too imperfect.

[@SC-trix]

13 years later replaying it again and again. ❤

[@Pikachu662]

I'm actually crying.. this is so beautiful

[@PalomaReprise]

I've listened to this many times and each time it's like the first time if not better this time because now I'm experiencing the type of love you spoke of.

[@ladydreamer04]

"I swear that when our lips touch, I can taste the next 60 years of my life." "she is my musician, and me, I'm her favorite song." Incredible poem. You are so talented. I absolutly love this poem.

[@corinnefloyd4036]

Amazing how good he’s always been and how far he’s come

[@arykahmoore3996]

This poem had everything in it. Humor, passion, imagery. He's got such a talent for wordplay. I loved it!

[@TheBerry9705]

'with no straining wheels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how i fell for you' oh crap that was so sweet

[@sinsina55]

You had me laughing amidst tears. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. I was deeply touched. Whoever she is she's a lucky girl. Thank you.

[@jimmyl1606]

Been listening to this and following him for the past 6 years. Has given me the confidence I needed when I needed it the most.

[@justinehechanova]

I occasionally watch this. Rudy you are inspirational and your poems are timeless

[@apoetunleashed4870]

This is one of my favorites ❤️❤️ Your amazing...

[@lameesbarendse714]

pure, one of the best forms of simplicity, put into words that can only be put into words and comprehended when you have felt love to eternity and beyond (and even then you do not fully comprehend the realm of love), honest; thank you for the truth

[@tafadzwajaravaza640]

Omggggg 4 years ago I wrote this in my notes and I found the note and I’m like “there’s no way I wrote this” and I looked it up and got the chills I got the first time I saw this

[@queenachambliss670]

"I want to be your ex boyfriend's stunt man... I want to do everything that he never had the courage to do... Trusted you."

[@EmilyDeVicenteMusic]

Wooow. This moved me and struck the heart strings of my very soul. You are so inspiring, Rudy. I'm rooting for you. Thank you for sharing down thing so beautifully creative and melodic.

This is truly amazing! I'm speechless everytime I watch it. Never gets old (:

[@TheSouloStar]

Can we just discuss for a moment how this poem just helped me admit that I'm still in love. Everything he said in this poem is everything on my heart.

[@yatashaacree]

Thank you @rudyfrancisothepoet for this poem. I promise you that these words are EVERYTHING and then some that I want to speak to my significant other. To me it tells the story of how I feel and so much more. I write poetry as well, and I listen to this poem over and over for some inspiration when I am writing along with some music. Your poetry is AWESOME!!! Again, THANK YOU!!! Keep doing what you are doing!!!

[@reeandtee]

[@Bwoodfam]

Still my favourite poem of all time. ❤️

[@fattybergeson]

"If you were here right now, I would massage your back until your skin sings songs that your lips don't even know the words too." I almost jumped out of my seat when he said that, this dude is amazing.

I used your poem as an example of Slam Poetry in my Language Arts class. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your beautiful poem!

[@tatiianaLd]

Omg Rudy ! I love this .. Who cares what a haters say ! I love your work and keep up the good work

[@wowthungsten]

Rudy, don't bother answering people who can't see the genius of your poetry. Only concentrate on making great poems, that's your awesome life right there. You list the prizes you won. Although that's going to translate into opened doors and, hopefully, some money, it's not the important part. People will say 'He wrote -this-'. The prizes are bling: they dress the artist but they're not the song. Only care about the song, the rest will follow. Godspeed!

[@barbi19866]

Omg this guy here made my whole body quake and I loved it..Very powerful poetic man :-) :-)

[@kbugg07]

Oh, I just love this. Your words are just amazing!

[@JamMasterDizzle]

If you're a real poet you respect other poets writing. Just because his style is different than yours or he doesnt rhyme every line doesnt mean its "sucks ass". Listening to his words inspired me and made me actually think anout love in a whole different way! Fuck the haters my boy keep doing your thing because you are passionate and it fits you! Dont ever stop God Bless Great Job!!!
