Enoch
LeV3e May 2018
What is it that separates you from me?
A short distance between
The atoms that build our bodies?
Or is it a mentality, made up by
Different struggles we suffer while
People fight for every waking moment
Just to breathe...
Can anybody tell me the difference
Between "knowing better" and
Hypocrisy?
Does anyone really know who
Scribbled on the stone tablets
Deciphering the code that some
"Other being" told us was ethical?
Where did Enoch really go?
When he opened the gates to heaven,
And spoke to Gabriel about Thee?
Was it he who read the book of
Life, and came to understand
Only to leave the world
By God's demand?
Will I ever be more than this
Ant receiving signals by antennas
Sending advertisements telling me
What to buy next so I can be like
All the rest who are happy while
Society straps me in a straight jacket
Driving me mad with stress and
Ceaseless demands...
Maybe making more money will
At least buy me some ******* time
To relax.

Make America What Exactly?
LeV3e May 2018
I can remember a time
When I wanted to be involved
To seek peace over a dime
To rhyme and sing songs

I can remember a time
Before strife stole away my youth
We'd find a way to organize
And undermine the global coup

Now, when it's time to talk politics
I just get sick to my stomach
All of this pointing fingers
Everyone here is a hypocrite

Flow
LeV3e May 2018
I've been getting too busy
Structuring words and doubts
Still counting my money while
Relationships burn out
Like cherries that flicker
Away with the wind and
I'm still not convinced
That this death is the end, but
I'm scared of the clock, look
Checking accounts on lock, been
Spending time on the lot, been
Pushing the good paper,
Hoping my flow doesn't rot
Like this body I'm caged in
Then you're gone like a thot that
You thought you could use when
Your bloods running hot and
Steam floats from the faucet
Wash your hands of the particles
But soaps a slippery ***** when
You forget where you came from.

Blemish
LeV3e May 2018
If God is a lense
Watching eternity spin
Would it spend a cent
To notice my blemishes?

If Sin is a debt
Building up interest
Could I make payments
And buy my way to heaven?

If Love is a gift
Shared by all of man
Would you fill the rift
With the warm blood of a lamb?

If Christ walked on Earth
And saw my sad words
Could he read the verse
Or, would the foreign letters blur?

What do you Know?
LeV3e Apr 2018
I should probably eat better
And quit smoking soon
Money ends up with the debtor
And stocks pop like balloons

I know that I should know better
But what do you know?
Claiming to "know THE creator"?
What an absurd notion...

I really should exercise more
Spend less time online
At least I'm not so immature
To pretend I know what's Divine.

The Hanged Man
LeV3e Mar 2018
I've been working for a while now
Taking tools in hand, looking upon
My alter, pointing to the heavens and
Waiting for magick to happen.

I'm a proud man

Much has changed in me since
That fateful day when you came
And broke the chain around my neck
Casting the medallion to the ground.

But I am trying

So I came back home and decided
I'd hang from this tree for awhile,
Rope knotted around my ankle, tight
Blood vessels pulsing in my temple.

To take things slowly

You see, the world looks quite different
When you take the time and effort
To seek a new perspective on things
That you never truly understood to begin with.

And listen...

I See Eternity
LeV3e Mar 2018

A spark ignites

To dare behold

Left or Right
LeV3e Mar 2018
On the right is God
On the left is Humanity

On the right is Good
On the left is reality

On the right is Law
On the left is justice

On the right lie pawns
On the left is consequence

On the right are servants
On the left they're masters

On the right are merchants
On the left are answers

On the right are pastors
On the left are serpents

On the right is rapture
On the left is purpose

Behind My Eyes
LeV3e Feb 2018
A feminine exists behind
My thick, hardened masculine side
The troubled years have taught him pride
So he keeps her locked up inside

My pretty face exists behind
This massive, burly beard of mine
It grows without needing to try
Giving me a safe place to hide

My piercing eyes exist behind
Two glass lenses with frames that shine
Tools I use to focus the light
Bending photons, clear as the sky

My tattered soul exist behind
A legion of spirits reside
Amongst djinn they are unified
In my body they crystalize

Animosity
LeV3e Feb 2018
I broke bread and
Shared my liquor while
You spit trash on mine
Behind my back
You bruised her ***
And took a hike
The animosity is like
Sandpaper on my
Red eyes are fixated
On your demise
It's hard not to fantasize
What it would feel like
To smash my knuckles
Cracking your bones.
You'll never atone
For blasphemous words
Turned against your own
Exiled from home
And I hope you
Die alone.
Feb 2018 · 338
Taking Turns
LeV3e Feb 2018
When it's my turn to die
I want people to cry
Just like a cloudy night
As rain falls from the sky

When it's my turn to leave
Turn over a new leaf
Like flowers bloom in spring
There'll be fresh air to breathe

When I see heaven's gate
For you, it's not too late
To let go of your hate
To start with a clean slate

When it's my turn to go
I still want you to grow
As big as stars that glow
Though it seems darkness rules

When it's my turn to pass
I hope you can still dance
Life is beautiful romance
And in your heart's halves
Lies a chance at eternity.

Commodity
LeV3e Feb 2018
"How are you today"
"Good, and you?"
"Good, a bit chilly out"
"Ya, at least the sky's blue"
"Well, how can I help?"
"Oh, I'm just looking around."
"If they don't fit, we carry belts."
"I think I'll just take the gown."
"That'll be twenty two, thirty five"
"Can I just swipe my card?"
"Sure, your ID looks nice."
"Thanks don't get too bored."

Rehearsed conversations
Fitted like a mold
Commodity interactions
Just doing what you've been told.

It Is Time
LeV3e Feb 2018
Go, and ask your God
To stop the gun fire
Please, pray to your Lord
To be the days savior
See how far it gets us
To better gun regulation
When you dismiss action
For silent meditation.
All your happy thoughts
To victims are meaningless
Families' children are lost
For the sake of convenience
And I'm still shocked how
People still come to defend
The devices held by ******
Rich white men.

Ouroboros
LeV3e Feb 2018
Trying to capture my
Feelings for you is like
Watching an adder bite
The tip of its' patterned tail.

Writing for you is like
Waiting for raptures light
To spark inspirations, so
The right words might bless me

Loving you has restored my
Life from the shambles
The shadows of loneliness
To our unions bright future

I live everyday
To see your beautiful face
I'll brave any storm to
Reach your embrace, and I swear

To the end of my days
I'll be the best in my way
For you, my lovely friend
I would do almost anything.

Idle Rhyme
LeV3e Feb 2018
I spend a lot of time
Waiting nowadays.
For pay checks to arrive
And bills to be paid.

I spend a lot of time
Sitting nowadays
At red lights and stop signs
And long lines at the bank.

I spend a lot of time
Dreaming nowadays
Of past grandeur gone by
And future plans made.

I spend a lot of time
Wishing nowadays
If only we never died
I'd have more time to waste.

Head Rush
LeV3e Feb 2018
Butterflies flutter and
Birds glide across the sky
Bugs crawl in the gutters, and
People like to tell lies.

Flowers bloom in the brush,
Rodents looking for rye,
I'm here for the head rush, so
**** it I'm getting high.

Ants busy building hills
Sly foxes stalking prey
Cooped up in the city, man
Seeking out the next way.

Chickens pick at the ground
Cows graze in the pastures,
People get ****** up in town
Waiting for their rapture.

Clash
LeV3e Jan 2018
Anger can well up in a flash
I Snapped like photos in a black
Light proof room full of times we clashed, and
The water spilled over
Blurring our memories...

Hate can take you in an instant
Down lonely roads marked with regrets
Decisions that you can't take back, and
There's no sense in wishing
To go back to the past...

Fire burns everything into ash
Smoke filling my lungs turning black
Flesh rots then it's lost on times behalf
Forgiveness is my last
Hope to beat the hourglass

Stoic
LeV3e Jan 2018
Another routine
Some more nicotine
Sipping on caffeine, with
Buried emotions.

Despite agony
Forget your daydreams
Ignoring your needs, while
Remaining stoic.

Pop two more Aleve
Take pills to relieve
No time left to treat, your
Chronic conditions.

Life comes then it leaves
Death waits patiently
Dust falling through sieves, and
I'm feeling home sick...

I Have a Question
LeV3e Jan 2018
Who do you call to
When they all look to you
To be the pillar and the walls
And the roof above them all?

Where do you turn to
When you don't have the drive
And your engines leaking oil
Making a mess of the pavement?

What do you think of
When your clock is ticking
Faster as the days start running
Out of ideas, but it's cold out?

Why does it happen
To be the innocent
Children that only wish their dreams
Could be better than life's nightmares?

How do you keep on
Wishing for better days
When the best you have to offer
Often fails to meet all their needs?

Everlasting
LeV3e Jan 2018
I want to touch the
Everlasting
Escape the clock and
Monotony

Searching for more than
Eternity
Light burns my eyes when
I go looking

Blinded by our ends
Inevitability
Making ends meet in
Synchronicity

Is consciousness really
Immortality?
Or is death's essence
Our destiny?

I see you Pan
LeV3e Jan 2018
I was lost in a Forrest
For some time, I was worried
What would come of the night.
My life in the clutches of primal
Prophet's scribbles on stone walls
Still depictions patiently awaiting their turn to become more than
Rainbows spread across clay

The sweet hymns of the
Wind, singing nymphs with
Dresses of daisy vines and
There, my eyes beheld The
Satyr, I see you Pan, dancing
With witches 'round the flames
Licking the sky with your flute
Whispering secrets to the galaxies.

My heart skipped as I
Came upon Thy five pointed
Medallion made of silver
Sparks in your gaze striking
Something ablaze in me
Mighty Beast, breathe and
Release the wild into The
Treacherous woods again.
Inspired by Animal Collectives "I See You Pan" beautiful song.

Mercy
LeV3e Dec 2017
Temper your judgement with
Mercy for failures. The
Ego's indulgent, but
Might's in our nature.

Night has no pity for
Street sleeping strangers, so
New clothes are given, warm
Sweet insulators.

Lions spill blood with their
Retracted razors, cut
Like barbers snipping hair
Red tongues licking *****.

Trees prove that strength stems from
Powerful roots digging
Trenches in time succumb
Please be forgiving.

Betrayal
LeV3e Nov 2017
I stand against those
Who speak against mine
No pity for slobs
Who sulk in the grime

I'll work to the bone
Grind stone into dust
I'm building a home
And I'll do what I must

No guilt in my heart
For treading above
Insects in the dirt
Rot crushed into mud

Nature demands much
So my soul provides
Through turmoil and rust
I'll continue to climb

To conquer my foes and
Leave enemies behind
RIP flags from their poles
And burn men alive.

Jazz
LeV3e Nov 2017
What a beautiful tragedy
It just is what it had to be
Either swing with the rhythm or
Sink down into your seat while ya
Snap a cold can of brew open
Take a sip without chockin ya
Seasoned Smith with the motion you
Master crafter, not chosen, I'm
Self made man, I been workin still
Humble, held by my people, high
Dancing round in the isles, bar
Tender pour my potion, I need
A taste of your posion, push glass
Across marble oceans, look past
My eyes see right through you, so clear
The sky says it knew you, back when
We flew to the moon and lost our
Minds in a crater, digging for
Diamond stars, our creators burn
Now play me that sweet musical...
4/4 swing it

The Shadow of Death
LeV3e Nov 2017
Clocks turn and
Stars burn but
Out in space
Shouts are silent.

Man is violent.
**** and face
My demons
Rage is blazing.

Shake the cage.
Steal your age,
**** it and
Take if you must.

Just survive.
Alone rocks
Mountain tops
Are dust to Us.

Your Lord's speak.
Death and dark
Surround us,
No one escapes.

Misfit
LeV3e Oct 2017
The point of a puzzle
Is to find the right piece

The joint needs a muscle
To bend at the knees

Cards must be shuffled
Don't fold or they crease

Gambled paper doubles
Lose it to false beliefs

Failed to make us humble
The game's fixed by elites.

One reason to trouble, now
We lost our inner peace.

Void
LeV3e Oct 2017
I think I'm dying
All the time
Lotus petals fly
Up from grime

My heart beats' skipping
Stones to glass
Cold clear image cracks
Rain to grass

Oceans drink poison
Plastic waste
Curse evolution
Just to taste

A little bit more
Levee be
Standing at the door
Death's waiting

Eternal Dance
LeV3e Oct 2017
Eyes cast open
Water pours down
New life chosen
Blood stains her gown

Dreams fall to earth
Heaven's so distant
Sweat beaded birth
Salt soaked infant

Man born in sin
Knowledge proves useful
Reborn again
Trees so fruitful

Shadows crawl near
Quivering spines
Flames burning fear
Stars in the night

Moons watch us dance
Show me your face
Take off the mask, and
Feel my embrace

The Blasted Tower
LeV3e Oct 2017
Walking down the lane
With glass memories and
White wine wilted flowers

Devil's have no shame
Dancing with the flames while
Diva's flood my tower

You'll never escape
Youthful wishes gleam by
Yet, lost in the shower

Lightning strikes the gate
Lucifer's one blessing
Lucky fools gold powder

Snow
LeV3e Sep 2017
Couldn't count my desires
Gotta let the lotto winner's
Roll 'em up and smoke the sinners

Sniffin' bliss, and rollin' spliffs
Criss cross your boney fingers cuss'
Christ's forgiveness can't cross rivers

Stakes and stones and broken homes
Crack the window, Daddy's cookin'
Dinner for your "step-sisters" nose

Drowning in euphoria
Bleached blonde concoction of toxic
Environmental pollution

A hundred bucks buys a smile
At least for a little while you
Don't have to feel the world dying

LeV3e Jul 2017
If a djinn could grant
My only three wishes
Your soul I'd enchant
With limitless riches

With boundless visions
Of dancing witches cast-
Ing, fire from spliffs, this
Grass smokes so delicious

Smoke's so capricious
Swirling in wind like thoughts
Gone in an instant
Winds lost to our vision

Make your decision.
Signed in blood, your silver
Lined medallion
Mark of the magician.

Reconciliation
Ravens speak with dogs teeth
Cleansing breathe of fire
Bless my intuition.

Cookie cutter beef cakes
Rockin all the colored tanks, but
Thanks for the tips, since
It seems that you've had
One too many sips, lad
Slippery slopes are steeper when
Your mind is floating in liquor
And your sick as a *******,
Dirtbag getting lucky
Loose lips or legs? I...
Can't really tell the difference
Anyway, these trees are
Keepin me shady, gators
Sleeping in the shallows
Hallowed be Thy white Jesus and
Hallelujah drunk Christians
God forgave or forgot us?
I don't really remember
Fishing with Moses, while
Parting red roses, pedals
Counting our precious metals
Settle down now younglings
The partie's only just started.

Waiting
LeV3e Jun 2017
I sit here
Contemplating how to conquer my fear
Can I alter the wheel? Or just
Fall down and kneel? I must
Have something to live for, some
Spark to ignite, some
Purpose to endure, these
Pains in the night, still...

I sit here
Searching for a way out of the pattern
It doesn't matter to the scheme, but
It keeps me from sleeping
Scattered thoughts, in a blink
I'm lost again, for naught, cause
Memories are so decieving...

I sit here
Thinking so what if Im selfish?
Are you saying you're not? Ha!
The prospect is childish, this
"Who said what again", nonsense,
Is boring the **** outta me...so

I sit here
Waiting for the reckoning.
Patiently, drifing through this
Time and space and happening,
Chasing pleasures, and vices, no
Remorse when the dice roll
Snakes eyes see through cold stone,
I can tell you arent alive so...

I sit here...

The Witching Hour
LeV3e Jun 2017
Its been a long night
Seen better days, but
Just might make it 'ight
Still grind till my teeth rot
Peel out when the engines hot
Burn trees cause Im stressed out
**** the cops, can't catch the mouse

Money'$ law now,gotta buy your freedom
Seasons pass, still can't defeat 'em
Keep dreamin, and scheming fools
Will not believe Him, Lord
Light is my blessing, words
Teaching a lesson... Remember....

We used to be dirt.
Before that we were stars.
Abused and distraught.
Own so many scars.
Seen home in her heart.
What beautiful flaws.
My love in this world.
Till Death do us part.

To keeping far from the witch.
'Heres to mothers with holes in them...
To striking a hopeless snitch.

Wake Up With Wonder
LeV3e May 2017
Wake up with wonder, and
Use what you know.
Do it for love, and
Reap what you sow.
Keep faith in people,
Home is in their hearts
Such a sweet romance
What a pain to part
Lions can be gentle, and
A turtles shell is sturdy, still
Life continues to cycle, while
Karmas law prevails
Death waits so patiently
Everyone takes a turn
Face your adversaries
Sometimes buildings burn
Some stars turn into dust
Some dust collects into moons
Some suns light up the soil
Others are swallowed by doom
These are the worlds
The words that God spoke
So I wake up with wonder
And I walk with hope.

Grindstone
LeV3e May 2017
Spinning down the road, black asphalt
Bubbling in the sun, black tar
Filling up my lungs, North Star
Shining in the night, black sky
Telling of the void, make right
What you know is wrong, no fright
Demons come and go, clean strike
Severs to the bone, white knight
Standing next to God... But not quite though,

Working on and on, clocks ticking
Money on the run, paper burning
Time for me to go, no stopping
Grind my life with stone, mind sharpening
Ill take what's mine when owed.

Sleep when I am old, still counting
The years fly by in droves, doves flocking
Can't keep the dust or gold, worth nothing
Nor blood nor flesh nor bone...
But the spirit keeps walking...
On and on and on and on and on....

What If?
LeV3e Apr 2017
If I want to grow
I must take what I need
Rip apart the Earth, and
Spread apart my leaves.

If I want to succeed
I will do what I must
Strike down my demons
Make gold out of dust

If I am to be
I will take my time
I will need my space
And a good pair of eyes

If I am to love
Surely, I will die
For there is no better cause
To sacrifice life.

Mortality
LeV3e Apr 2017
My mind is split between
A broken body or a
Good nights sleep...
A few more drinks
Or dimes on my check
Hickeys on my neck
Or ink on the paper
Cutting down trees, at least,
Puts money in the bank
I've got a sinking feeling, that
Sand's sliding beneath my feet
The reapers shadow cast
Upon the hour glass, so deceiving...
Had me believing that
I could escape mortality.

I Love You
LeV3e Apr 2017
When three words can mean
Entire worlds of things, from
Experiencing bliss, to
A final reckoning...

Its difficult to express
What you mean to me, when
Words aren't enough, or
We're too busy to kiss...

With rough times up ahead
Work never ends, still
It only makes sense to
Spend my money on gifts

Sip on honey and juice,
Sweet liquor and jewels
Anything that you dream
Ill see is produced, cause

You are my Queen, so (its only fair that)
Ill be fit as a King, then
Ill pry open the world
Just to gift you the pearl,
You see

These three words, to me,
They mean everything
From *** and ecstasy, to
Loss and suffering, but...

Despite the distortion
And **** the fear in me, because
You are all I've been missing, and
I think Im ready to say...
Those three words again.

Shade
LeV3e Mar 2017
Digging up shallow graves from
The days past, however many bones
Laid to rest in hollow holes
And covered with tainted memories

Trudging through a swampy mold
Black and blurry faces being told
Cast your sins in metal gold
Behold your Idol, still smoldering

Holding on to callous woes
The wart is becoming tumorous
Bleed it out into a bowl
And drink up your deliverance.
