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.
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! :-)
"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."
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 😂😂😭😭
"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
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!
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,
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...
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.
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!
You have great delivery and your choice of words definitely reflect the emotion ur trying to have the audience feel. Definitely one of my favorites. Great job!
Oh , man . I was first introduced to Rudy Francisco through Keone Madrid's "Lois Lane" piece & I'm so glad I stumbled upon this vid because it reminded me how much I enjoy hearing him recite his poems . Thank you for uploading this . --- Nicole
Not much of a love poet? You could have fooled me…..WOW, simply wonderful: I smiled the entire poem, trying to visualize every word that you shared with us.
"When God made you he cussed for the first time...He turned to an angel, gave him a hi-five and said 'Got Damn I'm good' you are that beautiful" My favorite line
I come back to listen this every once in a while, and this is the reason (or at least part of the reason) why my standards are so high. I'm sure of it.
I mean seriously this poem is beautiful beyond words. All there is, is intense feelings and it makes me wish he were talking about me. Damn feelings like this inspire great things!
like.. i don't know what to say really. no words would do him justice. but silence is so disrespectful. this man is amazing.. so articulate but so full of life and RAW emotion.. this is awesome. i thank god for artist like this. he REALLY made my heart melt
I want to be able to hear this clearly and see his face up close and I can't. I remember seeing him present this poem in another venue. I will try to find it. So very good.
My husband decade this poem to me when he came back . It melts my heart to know he felt like this to his soul about me. I love ❤️ he m jor then words could say. Luis John Hernandez Sr.
Heart break; listening to true love poems seem to make the break seem more like a stress fracture, like how you stress so much about the pain, you fracture like the cracks in the sidewalk she walked away on after she told you she could no longer love you.
i cannot find all of this!! and its making me so mad. i wanna use this for my forensic compitition! i feel if i can get it now i can memorize all most of it and i can put so much feeling into it. i love this and it is my fav. poem EVER! i just wanna know all of it

That is so awesome! Rudy literally (indirectly) gave you a real life love poem in a person. :-)
+Igbogadi i'm sorry to shatter this love poem by saying that he broke up with me and i am absolutely devastated
LegalizeDawn Oh Shit. That was fast. Damn! I'm sorry. :-(
+Igbogadi it's okay, well not really. i guess we were together for a relatively long time
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! :-)
"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."
Eeeeppp!! :')
Loved this!! Want a love that’s physically and emotionally like this
I hate most pick up lines but FUCK if some dude said that to me I'm hooked... Issa wrap
I'm crying :(((
6 years later and I still come back to this poem. Thank you Rudy
"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!
EV-Errr-REE damn TIME!
I want to be that
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
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 😂😂😭😭
This is literally perfect like future hubby if you can't find the words...pay someone who can😂😂
oh my goodness to find a man with his thoughts .. love
+ibtehaj omar Girl when you find him, ask if he has a brother.
+Queen A Chambliss Will do cause man they gotta b somewhere in hiding or something lol..
ibtehaj omar any guy like this could most likely be found in the friendzone
I had a scammer like that.
"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
Damn Rudy Francisco back at it again with the poetry so deep that it pulls at my heart strings every time.
Same 😂😂
''My friends think I'm crazy kinda love" 💖I love that line
lemonnat me too! .
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!
I pray that God sends me a man that feels for me at least half of what you spoke of.
There a lot of like me

Rudy's metaphors are what I live on.
His Metaphors are life #LoveThisMan
grateful to be able to exist in the same life time as you so that I could accidentally fall upon this video. Love

2020 and I still love Rudy more than any other poet.
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!
I can not describe how much I have fallen in love with these words
This is just pure LOVE, unconditional love....There is just no words for how this poem makes me feel...
This guy might be my favorite poet. What a beautiful person. Keep inspiring me. Please :-)
This poem is the most amazing thing I have found in ages!!!

Oh my God! Rudi Francisco! But why am I just finding out about you now. I love every bit of your poems! The metaphors! The choice of words
