Rudy Francisco - Love Poem (Full) (1/9)

To the Girl who works at Starbucks down the street from my house on Del Mar Heights Road; I swear to God, I'm not a stalker.

[@dii4477]

6 years later and I still come back to this poem. Thank you Rudy

[@KSHills]

"I love you the way I learned to ride a bike. Scared, but reckless, with no training wheels or elbow pads, so that my scars could tell the story of how I fell for you."

[@yolandajerome9561]

Eeeeppp!! :')

[@deborahcarr6536]

Loved this!! Want a love that’s physically and emotionally like this

[@joyitadarling5815]

I hate most pick up lines but FUCK if some dude said that to me I'm hooked... Issa wrap

[@autumn3639]

I'm crying :(((

[@dotnoellew]

over a year ago i posted on twitter that i loved rudy francisco. i didn't know, but a boy that i really liked at the time saw it and listened to every poem of rudy's he could find. we became good friends last september and i began to send him links to these videos, but little did i know he had already seen them. he went out of his way to watch them so that he could talk to me about them. he didn't tell me about that for a while into our relationship because he was embarrassed. we've been together for almost eight months and, in a way, rudy brought as together.

[@Igbogadi]

That is so awesome! Rudy literally (indirectly) gave you a real life love poem in a person. :-)

[@dotnoellew]

+Igbogadi i'm sorry to shatter this love poem by saying that he broke up with me and i am absolutely devastated

[@Igbogadi]

LegalizeDawn Oh Shit. That was fast. Damn! I'm sorry. :-(

[@dotnoellew]

+Igbogadi it's okay, well not really. i guess we were together for a relatively long time

[@Igbogadi]

LegalizeDawn Break-ups are hard, no matter the length of the relationship. I hope you take time to heal your heart before a new love comes. Fortunately, poetry helps! :-)

[@wendolenszazueta7422]

"I want to be your ex-boyfriend's stunt man and do all the things he never had the courage to do...like trust you..." OH MY GASH!

[@Jgrace767]

EV-Errr-REE damn TIME!

[@djcrazychriz]

I want to be that

[@tylergaylard9973]

I love the crowds reactions and the way both poet an audience interact, it's like he's delivering to a group of good friends

[@lemonnat4390]

''My friends think I'm crazy kinda love" 💖I love that line

[@stephaniedonahue1272]

lemonnat me too! .

[@desireagreenwod3243]

Perfect wedding proposal. Take me to a Rudy Francisco slam and somehow get him to write a poem about us asking me to marry you. Or just at a Rudy slam and propose to me while he says this poem. I'd ugly cry 😂😂😭😭

[@ellahope3654]

This is literally perfect like future hubby if you can't find the words...pay someone who can😂😂

[@ibtehajomar2251]

oh my goodness to find a man with his thoughts .. love

[@queenachambliss670]

+ibtehaj omar Girl when you find him, ask if he has a brother.

[@ibtehajomar2251]

+Queen A Chambliss Will do cause man they gotta b somewhere in hiding or something lol..

[@Itzjustlopezz]

ibtehaj omar any guy like this could most likely be found in the friendzone

[@usacookie8288]

I had a scammer like that.

[@softcoreattentionseeker]

Damn Rudy Francisco back at it again with the poetry so deep that it pulls at my heart strings every time.

[@princesslezly4195]

Same 😂😂

[@TheHeartNeverLies442]

"I loved you the same way I learned how to ride a bike: scared. but wreckless, with no training wheels or elbow pads so my scars could tell the story of how I fell for you" your words are just so beautiful

[@ladydreamer04]

I'm not sure which version I like better. I love them both! This ending was nice but so was the other one "together we can be music. and when my friends ask if you're my girlfriend, I'll say no. She is my musican. And me...I'm her favorite song.". He's so talented!

[@JasiGorgeous]

I pray that God sends me a man that feels for me at least half of what you spoke of.

[@princeberyanah4172]

There a lot of like me

[@amyc8908]

Rudy's metaphors are what I live on.

[@LeeHirschLavashot449]

His Metaphors are life #LoveThisMan

[@thestarchild09]

grateful to be able to exist in the same life time as you so that I could accidentally fall upon this video. Love

[@Soulwritermarie]

2020 and I still love Rudy more than any other poet.

[@alwayshonest3555]

I love how your mind puts your thoughts in a different sequence than most. You are a moving word smith.

[@fcborel1915]

What if we all have been that Starbucks girl and we will never know, 'cause we're alive on a poets' mind, and poetry is all that we'll ever be for them...

[@sistaaraven]

Fcborel you have broken my mind and yet mended my heart all in one sentence

[@blackhippie6312]

Love Poem Medley by Rudy Francisco When I asked you for a Chai latte, what I meant to say was: ”I was walking past. I saw you in the window. I only came in here because I had to know what your voice sounded like.” But instead of saying that... Instead of saying that, I got really nervous and just ordered the first thing on the menu. I don’t even know what the fuck “Chai” is.. Or a latte, for that matter. When God made you, He cussed for the first time. He turned to an angel, gave him a high five and said: “Goddamn, I’m good!” You are that beautiful. I spent the last five days tryna figure out how I’m gonna introduce myself to you properly, and I think I’ve finally figured it out. It’s gonna be something like... “Hi.” That’s all I got so far, but I think it’s a good start. You see, I want that... I want that my friends think I’m crazy kind of love. That reckless kind of love. That wake up early, make you breakfast kind of love. That crack open my life and say look, you gotta see this kind of love. Forget the shallow stuff, I want the deepest kind of love. That I want to stay up and tell you all my secrets kind of love. That every time I see you, I fall to pieces kind of love. I want that stand next to me kind of love. That you are my destiny kind of love. That no matter what happens, you always get the best of me kind of love. That you get my heart and my mind, this world gets the rest of me kind of love. That invest in me kind of love, because you already know that I’m invested in you kind of love. That you come home upset, you don’t have to say nothing, I already know what to do kind of love. I want... I want love. I want you to bite my lip until I can no longer speak. And then suck my ex-girlfriend’s name out of my mouth just to make sure she never comes up in our conversations. I want you to come to me like an afternoon, come to me slowly as if you were a broken sunset with a lazy sky on your shoulders. If you let me be your sunlight, I promise that I will penetrate your darkness until you speak in angel wings. Pull me close to you, tell me that you love me, and then scratch your future into my back so I can be everything that you live for. I promise that I will die for you daily and then resurrect in your screams. I promise that I will love you. I promise that I will love you as if it’s the only thing that I’ve ever done correctly. I’ll be honest, I’m usually not even a love poet. In fact, every time I try to write about love, my hands cramp. Just to show me how painful love can be. And sometimes our pencils break just to prove to me that, every now and then, love takes a little more work than planned. See, I heard that love is blind, so I write all my poems in Braille. And my poems, I never actually finish, because true love is endless. You see, I’ve always believed that real love is kinda like supermodel before she’s airbrushed. It’s pure and imperfect, just the way that God intended. You see, I’m gonna be honest, I’m not much of a love poet. But if I was to wake up tomorrow morning and decide that I really wanted to write about love, my first poem... It would be about you. About how I loved you the same way that I learned how to ride a bike. Scared, but reckless. With no training wheels or elbow pads so my scars can tell the story of how I fell for you. You see, I’m not much of a love poet. But if I was, I’d write about how I see your face in every cloudy reflection in every window. You see, I’ve written a million poems, hoping that somehow, maybe some way, you’ll jump out of the page and be closer to me. Because 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 to. Until your heartbeat sounds like my last name. And you smile like the Pacific Ocean. I wanna drink the sunlight in your skin. If I was a love poet, I’d write about how you have the audacity to be beautiful even on days when everything around you is ugly. I’d write about your eyelashes,

This is one of my favourite poems that I came across randomly. I have replaid it many times. The feelings and emotions of words draw me intrinsically to that pure love. I used to to replay this poem as I multitasked at home.

[@prisb5543]

[@JorelBates]

A lot of the slam poetry artists I've recently listened to sound so much like Rudy... and I always come back to these videos because no one brings out the emotion as much as this guy!

[@Msbrkdance]
