I write a free flowing style. Some of my works are short and others are long. I love letting my pen just flow. I get my inspiration from anywhere I can. I will challenge myself to writing certain styles like sonnets A B A B even a A B C D A B C D. The subject matter ranges from serious social issues to spur of moment silly, sappy or just plain simple rhyming words. I don't force them. So enjoy the surprises and let's see where this voyage takes us.
I really wanted this one
I tried my best
She never gave me her love
I never forgot the rest
I never get what I want
I have been chasing
Spend all my time with you
Wake up to pillow cases
Could never convince
Tried so I tried
Didn’t believe you
So I lied and I lied
I threw you away
On lovers day
Apology in Chicago
The pain won’t go away
What should I do
I know what I should
Rewind time back
Only if I could
They will never treat you
I will never spoil
If this is the end
Burn the midnight oil
One last flicker
One last flame
The lights dim on our time
Back to darkness once again

Is there love for the cold?
The winter months
Who likes the bite of the wind?
Lonely beds and quiet houses
The home of the ******* man.
Nice to none becuz none are nice
They just want something
Everybody wants you then they leave
Getting love from the ones you run
From no love from the ones you run
Towards my dreams are your night terrors
And my love is your hate.
Splitting the bill on blind dates
This is goin nowhere. Already known
Cards already shown. Cover already blown
The voice is calm but the actions are
Wrong as igloo on the equator.
No more drinks Mr. Waiter. I'm good
I'm bad. I'm happy to be mad.
I'm desperate to be sad. Life takes to
Long to move so fast.
Do soul mates crash? Am I drivin too safe?
My vulgarity equals no similarities?
Thought if I ain't look I would find u.
I ain't look and I did look. I stopped
Lookin then started again the mantra
Of the heartless men. I shall end how I began
Alone. By myself. Loved by no one else.
Maybe my mother. She could be lying.
No sense in cryin when u find out I'm dyin
Yo messed up timing. Gonna try to love me
As they piling dirt on my story.
Chapter over.
Book closed.
The single life of the committed *******

I'm thinkin of u
Are you thinkin of me?
Staring at your last text
Hoping you text me
What's stopping us?
Who holds our destiny?
I will give you the best
Soon as you message me

As the light dims and the night grins
Let's not pretend what we intend
Is this life? This too shall end
Type with my pen. Write within sin
Im not sorry I'm not what u want
I'm happy with what makes me flaunt
If it keeps me on a solo launch
I didn't want to go with the haunted
Yeah some are afraid the change
Can make you lose your brain
But if change is not strange
Why are you so afraid of the World's ways?

I love the warmth
It's the sun's glorious hug
The quick switch
From dusk to dawn
Sweltering
Sweating profusely
Energetic like the second
Before we make love
It's the long days
The golden rays
Children voices
Making melodies
Summertime
Weathers gift

I can't believe
You are about to leave
So much more left to say
I want one more day
Just a moment
One more moment
Where do I file for an extension?
Is it over now?
My body is colder now
All in my shoulder now
They want me lower now
Like I'm sober now
Wish I was older now.
Leave this an enter another dimension.

Trying to fill that hole
Pouring
Smoking
Sexing
It never fills
The void so real
Its the lonely nights
Screamin
Pounding
Pulsating
I don't want to let u in
But each time u win again
I just
Can't
Keep
Fighting
The loss of time and love
Makes the time seem
Nonexistent
A dream
A nightmare
A moment of peace
I beg please give me
That moment
That second
That minute
It's just one hour out of the thousands
We waste with the wrong people
People who
Love to hate you
Where am I?
Who are you?
What is this?
Why did I start
What I couldn't finish?
Slowly back away from it
And it follows
Like an obedient dog
I want to quit....
But
****
****

Our love is a valley
It goes down but comes back up
Our love is like a cliff
Once it goes down it stays down
Our love is an ocean
It lasts as long as the eye can see
Our love is a swimming pool
It lasts from this tree to that corner
Our love is a payday holiday
It's as good as good can get
Our love is rent day workday

U engulf me
Keep me trapped
Your softness is a magnet
I can't detach
I try I try
To pull away
But u r so strong
U make me stay
Against my will
My will is not strong
U shorten my days
But my nites are super long

What world do we live?
Death is now given out like
Life means nothin to live.
A church? The cops?
Black lives matter but to whom?
Birth from the womb hurryin to the tomb
U think u only hurt us?
U really wanna live out this cuss?
I guess u do... It was done to the Sioux
Navajo Cherokee and the Seminoles too
Massacre.... Malicious murders
U killed the color purple.
I hate writing these words... When u live
The life of a nerd and treated like a ****
**** pushes u to drugs or hugs from
Women u don't love.
Pray for someone come down from above
And just.... I don't know stop the blood
End the hate. End the way
Things are done.
