I dance along the edges tempting to crash into you
waiting for that chance to be next to you
When the sun rises, I find pleasure in seeing you glow
sometimes I’m lost within the breeze when the wind blows
I’m the oceans wave & you’re the sand
walking along waiting for me to grab your hand
Bless me with that kiss when I wrap you around my waves
& kiss the moon good night as our love becomes the soundtrack of the night

I may not be The One to make you a wife

I just happen to be unfortunate enough to be apart of your life

- Poetic Venom
My deepest fear isn’t succeeding in life & facing defeat

but to gain everything I want, yet still feel incomplete

- Poetic Venom
What happened to us? How did we get here?
All this fighting & I’m feeling like the ending is near
I’ve stuck around more than I needed to
& waited around because I thought I needed you
I’m a man of little faith but I believed in you
I guess 1+1 just doesn’t make 2
but what am I to do when all I wanted was you
only to be left behind while he falls for you
Death race for love but somehow we made the wrong turn
you’re close to the finish line while I’ve crashed & burned
All is fair in Love & War, I’m the only one without an armor on
willing to die for you, the pain I wasn’t running from
You ask what are we fighting for but here’s what you don’t understand
I can’t just sit back to watch you love another man
justifying your lies trying to get me to understand
that sometimes things happen & this love wasn’t planned
so you put on this act as if you can feel me dying inside
but the truth of the matter is, you drug me right thru all your lies
And in case you failed to see the memo or maybe I’m misunderstood
this becomes strike 3, which means we’re done for good

This is crazy, I found me a lady
on some Jodeci vibes, Forever My Lady
Her smile alone keeps driving me crazy
fooled by the hype, thank goodness you saved me
I’m only trying to be King, we can wait later for the baby
cause I wanna see you walk down that aisle
& call you my wife before making a child
a rare breed that doesn’t come around too often
more than a Queen, a real life Goddess walking
If you were to walk away, I’d lose the better half of me
me deceiving you, that’s blasphemy
Too many good ones get left behind or used for selfish reasons
but this world wouldn’t be sh*t if you were to leave it
That’s why I salute you to the highest power
there’s no better love in this universe that I desire
- Poetic Venom
Never interested in commitment
Ran from loyalty & faithfulness
Tempted by false advertisements
Shot down by disappointments

A man running around like a boy
taking hearts & using them like a toy
Requirements of a dog to be met
down to the lowest level, lack of self respect

My Forever was only temporary
I played the fool yet again
so in return, I took a turn for the worst
feeling as tho Love was nothing short of a curse

Now here I arm, in the presence of a Queen
something I only saw in my dreams
This feeling of electricity that’s flowing thru my soul
even when feeling incomplete, she makes me whole
- Poetic Venom
I’m not the strongest but I’m far from the weakest
I know there’s a light of happiness & I desperately seek it
Rebuking the Devil every chance I get
for trying to make me off myself but I can’t quit
God gave me a purpose & I’m doing my best to fulfill it
for every broken soul I come across, I’m the one to heal it
But I ask you, how I be the hero if I need the saving
I try to live my best but death had a feeling I was craving
Maybe it was the peace that came attached with it
maybe it was the feeling of closure that I was feeling
I ask myself, who are you to feel extraordinary
only to look at yourself like you’re just ordinary
The light’s been around the whole time, your eyes were just closed
your capabilities as a man could be unmatched but you may never know
how your impact would be if you’re too afraid to take that path
if you keep allowing the fear to hold you back cause you think they may laugh
at a gifted young King who desires to bring change or make a difference
cause he knows that those who bring change, only decease within a time’s distance

I wrote this poem in my sleep then woke up immediately to write it down before I forgot what I said. Nothing special, just something random
