"A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightening." - James Dickey
Mama, All I ever wanted was your touch Mama, All I ever wanted was your support, Mama I wanted you to be my pillar but here we are And we're drowning in quicksand and you can't keep your own head above it all Mama, All I wanted was your love Mama, I just wanted to be better than a bottle Mama, You don't need it, Mama i can see through it, Mama, You can't hide it, mama don't lie. Mama I swear I'll run I'll run far away And I'll weep with the sky for my weakness. Mama You're beautiful Mama you could be queen of this rock Mama I love you deeper than I understand Mama Please mama play with me Please mama stay with me Please mama pray with me. Mama I don't know if I could live without you. I couldn't mama. I couldn't live without you.

There is darkness all around me. I have a love affair with color, But this void won't allow it. I adore you, Yellow. I want you, Blue. Marry me, Red. This void won't allow it. This black is becoming me. Pink, I love you. Green, I miss you. Orange, forget me not. This void won't allow it. I beg you darkness! Just one ray of light. Just a stream of white, Give me a spectrum. This void won't allow it.

Solomon. Rubies and sapphires Rolled off your tongue, Long legs and crimson lips, Abysmally endless, Muscled stallions and mares, To take you everywhere, Sweet and delicious, Anything you taste, Alexander would've bowed, They could call you Midas, With fingers of gold, Solomon, You asked for wisdom, Man of God He gave you the world.

Solomon
we're all just walking around with abyssal chasms in our chests and half a stolen heart in each fist

She was unmistakably clever, People strolling past her on the street would ponder to themselves briefly, She must be a professor or a lawyer. But it wasn't her round glasses, Or her fitted blazer that convinced them. It was her yellow shoes, and the way they seemed to float above the stained pavement.

Hey you ignorant uneducated prideful loathsome self-righteous glib donkey Take your opinions Dice em up Marinate them Throw em in a *** Bring to a boil And simmer on low Plate it With bias on the side Stare at your meal And salivate Like the dog you are Chew it slow Taste every bitter Gritty crumb Maybe then you'll See your reflection In the bottom Of your dish And be just as Disgusted as me.

She stretched her arms towards the sky, And stood up on her tippy toes, She made her hair a skyscraper, And her nails far too long, She always talked loudly, never walked, just danced, Her laugh was stupendous, Her tears were waterfalls, Oh how she cast a shadow, That drowned anyone in it.

Come be blind with me All I want to see is smoke. Let's get high, Let's leave here, Hit it deeply, Hit it slowly, Cough with me, Laugh with me, Think with me, Nap with me, Let's fill this room With thick clouds. Come and float with me, Be alone with me, Let's kiss and touch, Just breathe and breathe, Come fly with me, With our devil's wings, All night in a fog, Gone with the winds, Be my Adam, because I'm Eve, Come relax with me, Feel the relief, Lets rocket to galaxies, Away from this earth, Let's not be ourselves, We'll live as birds.

He looked at me with hunger, But not like a wolf to a sheep, He stared at me in awe, Because of me he didn't sleep. I knew he wanted me first, He was practically a puddle, When I shook his hand, All he could do was stutter, When I was intrigued, He came a bit too near, And he nibbled and chewed, But I didn't have fear, I let him inside me, In all the ways he wanted, I was literally wasted, From then I was haunted, He slapped my thighs, And held on real tight, He liked that noise, When I'd squeal just right, He'd look at my lips, Just plump and pink, He'd lean in and bite them, I couldn't even think, I couldn't stand him, I hated him so much, But I was defenseless, I was lost in his clutch, I was leashed and tied, Lost in his lies, I was addicted to sin, He'd opened my eyes, I loved how he touched me, He knew what was right, I hated how he held me, It was always too tight.

Hunger
Before I even brushed my teeth, I stood for a while and stared, At my half-asleep reflection, Eyes widened, eyebrows raised, I scared myself as I cried, "Love me!" I yelled at myself, Then I continued with the morning. When I stepped into the sun, I heard the street cat purr, Loooove meee... He hissed and stretched. Neighbor comforted her baby, It wouldn't cease screaming, "Love me, mama!" It squealed with wet cheeks. Each shadow faced girl, On this cobblestoned road, Whispered "love me" Through glossed red lips. Old man wilted on a bench, With cane close by, Grunted, "love me, love me" At each faceless passerby. I reached the library, Quiet like a monastery, "Will you love me?" Titled every book. Quickly I exit the back, With my book in hand, "No you love me!" Man argues with his lover. I got on a crowded bus, And pushed my way through, "Love me, love me, love me" We all sang and hummed. I entered my school, With teeth white beaming, L-O-V-E M-E With each insecure smile. I finished my loveless day, And returned to my home, Love. Me. Love. Me. Clicked each step. As I shut my eyes, Falling fast into sleep, My lids spelled love me, Until the morning light.
