Abc's
devante moore Jan 2015
Abracadabra I fell for your tricks
Believed in what you told me
Carelessly
Definitely caught in your illusionary words
Every thought you talked away
Failed to see the sway in this battle
Giving you my all, my
Heartbeats to please you
I gave a lot to prove to you
Jostle against the other side of me
Killed my pride  
Lost in the affections
Molded by love
Never losing the thought of you
Obligated to make you mine
Promised I'd fight for you always
Quitting, no never
Regardless of the struggle, I
Sold my soul for this
Today your still my goal even though we're
Unable to touch, I
Valiantly try
Willing to give up anything but,
Xen in this kind of world
You say you love me and I'm
Zealously chasing that dream of us
Doing the last few words were a pain.. Not one of my favorites but. Oh well

Say hello to my bad side
devante moore Jan 2015
Where pride hides
And the truth is muted
Covered by little white lies
Say hello to my bad side
Where the demons bay like wolves
That's moon eclipse the sun
Painting the sky red
Stained by its blood
It's been pierced by a rocket an left for dead
My bad side
Where the darkness roams free
Chasing the light
Holding it in glass bottles as trophies
Manipulation is the way of life
Hate the ambassador
Rage bake in fires
Forge by a missing father
Raised by a tortured mother
My bad side
Slept with temptation
Birth lust
Girls hunted like prey
Only to be released before the ****
Regret has no meaning
It's not found
The world is broken
It's flipped upside down
So rain seems the fall from the ground
My bad side
Where there so many unhuman things found
Say hello to my bad side
Where the grass isn't green at all

Bad guy
devante moore Jan 2015
It's my fault again
I'm the wiping wind that blew in
Corroded away your skin
Now your vulnerable
Like a snail that just outgrew it's shell
The world sprinkled salt on you
And watch you fizzled away
It's my fault were doing so bad
I'll take the heat
Like you through me on a bed of flames to sleep
It's me
The water that sips deep
Rotting away our foundations
******* up the plantations
I'm why you can sleep at night
The bed of nails poking at you
But still you ignore the pain
Dancing happily in the rain
While lighting dance along at your feet
The reason your having a bad day
The frustration
The aggravation
It's me
My fault
I'm the bad guy
Fighting the battle of L...
Only constantly
Meeting his defeat
Guess the outdated quote is true
It's not you its me

Immortal
devante moore Jan 2015
He seen it before
Death
It comes and goes
Taking those he loved
Leaving him behind
Like a used up drug
He's been on this earth
Long before dust
Watch it progressed like dawn
So many things change
But still he remains
Cursed by life
Begging death to take his hand in matrimony
Only to be left at the altar
Him an the years became friends
He's embraced the seasons as cousin
Wrapped winter in summers love
He watch the volcanos give birth to new land
Sat behind the scenes as the Mayans where wiped away
Saw first hands at the Indians demolished by the English diseases
His bitter eyes recorded it all
Each wrinkle holds a tragic story
His head hangs low from the many deaths he seen
He sees the pattern
He knows the ending
He'll be here to watch his premonition come true
The destruction of the earth
Over the decades
He watch it grow  
He witness its first steps
Heard its first words
But until that day comes
He'll watch many more go before him

Dreaming of my baby girl
devante moore Jan 2015
I stare at you from behind the glass
Freshly from your mothers womb
You lay there peacefully in this room
Wrapped in white
Your an angel no doubt
There's my baby girl
Mine
Your perfect
Even the heavens rejoice
The sky weeps in joy
Rainbows pierce the clouds
Staring at you warms my heart
Nothing would tear us apart
The memories we will create
Your first steps
Your first words
Even your first heart ache
From the **** you use to date
Will be all on tap
Your fates good deed
I'll protect you forever
I will endure your pain
As I stare at you from behind this glass
All I can say
There's my baby girl

Torture me
devante moore Jan 2015
Throw me in the mist of an ocean
Storm
Douse me in the water of Alaska during winter
Place me on the hot sand of the Saharah desert in the summer
Watch my skin sizzle
Boiling under the sun
Tie a dumbbell around my ankles
Watch me sink to the bottom of the Great Lakes
Latch me to the walls
Throw daggers at me
You want to see me fight the waves
Want to see me overcome hypothermia
Want to watch me fine water in the desert
I can show you how to cure sun burn
Want to see me escape these chains
Dodge the daggers
You want to see me overcome all your wicked tricks and pain
Fine but you going have to torture me

Martin Luther King jr
devante moore Jan 2015
Here's a man picked by his peers
Letting go of his fears
Trusting God to lead his way
Who knew he would carry them far
Leaving his footsteps in the ground as he marched on
Paving the way
Leading them all
Black or white
Together they fight
Hand in hand
He knew the truth
At the end of the day
This is our land
Not made for one man
He speeches legendary
His methods no violence
His compassionate actions speak the loudest
No matter the danger
Take the violence
Not barking back with holding the attacks
Freedom was giving
Equality wanted
Earned
By his voice and many
To some he was a plague
To many a hero
That speech will forever live on
You know the one
That's still echoing
His dream
Came true

Screws loose
devante moore Jan 2015
Yeah I got a couple loose
The result of this word
My brain resembles the mechanics of a ticking clock
It's lost it's tick
It's tock
My gears are rusted
From the constant rain
Drenched from the constant pain
I need to be taking back to my maker
The creator of me
Back to the factory
I am a machine
Created on a assembly line
That's lost its usefulness
My gears gets stuck when you turn me on
I need to be update
I'm a antique that's lots its value
You discovered me
Un buried me
Then left me to rot
When you notice I didn't work right
But all I needed was a touch up
Just needed to put my screws back in there right place

I love you
devante moore Jan 2015
It's the simplest words
That's the hardest to say
I try to portray it
But don't know how to say it  
These three words have me tongue tied
I hide behind slick words
Spitting out metaphors hoping you understand
They say timing is everything
I have a broken watch
Should I say it now
What if you don't feel the same
I'd surely be in pain
This back and forth affair
Is like a game
But there's not quit or restart
Once I say it, it's out
It's on the tip of my tongue
These words are like trying to chop down a tree
With an antique ax
I hack and hack almost there
Afraid which way it would land
I'll say it then have a quick escape plan
I hope it leaves you speechless
That way you don't engage
When I look at you
I have stage fright all over again
Quick look away
How am I suppose to tell you
I love you

Winters pain
devante moore Jan 2015
The snow fell harder this winter
Without you here to control its weather
The wind icy
Stifling my breathing
The trees not properly dress
There branches freeze over
Bushes forgetting there snow caps
Drenched in the powdery snow
Winter unforgiven without you
Windows brittle from the frost
Heart cold as ice
Blood replaced by snowflakes
Mounds of snow stops me from leaving
But there's beauty deep in this pain
White dresses the land
Like a bride ready to get hitched
But who wants to get married away
With the howling wind
Guiding more chilly snow
Now I'm really caved in
Glaciers breaking around me
Shedding there icy sickles
Creating an icy prison to put me in

Electricity
devante moore Jan 2015
There's electricity in the air
I can sense what it would feel like
I in vision it
My own premonition
When we hold hands  
The static runs through my veins
My hairs stands at attention
Goose bumps arise beneath them
I can feel the charge of it racing through my veins
Powering my heart
I can feel the current
Powered by you
But then
You removed your wire from the circuit
Leaving me alone to power it myself
Now I'm useless
Powerless  
Without you
An incomplete circuit
The electricity flowing through me is no more

Second hand smoke
devante moore Jan 2015
As you inhale
So do I
But not in the same way
You inhale to drown yourself in the feeling of love
It courses through your veins
And camps In your lungs
Engulfing your heart
And as you exhale  
Your release your love in a cloud of smoke
I hold my breath
Trying not to breath it in
Scared of the long lasting affect
Trying to protect my health
You inhale and exhale again
You step towards me
Expelling smoke from your mouth  
Your love in the air
I take a step back
The gassy odor stains my clothes
Seeps into my skin
Chopping my breathing as it chokes me
Your eager to take another inhale
To breath it in
I'm just afraid of the second hand smoke

The rabbit vs The turtle
devante moore Jan 2015
As we begin at the starting line we know who's going to win
There's the white rabbit
Obnoxious,Cocky,A *****
Fueled by red bulls an monsters
He can barley be contained
Fur coat at attention
Like there's electricity in the air
But we're drawn to things with a flair
In our eyes his white coat nothing could compare
It's special
Then there's the turtle
Passive,majestic,shy,common
The underdog
We only like them when there's a chance they might win
It takes each step gracefully
Carefully, trying not to impress
It's been counted out shunned for its slowness
As the race begins the rabbit dashes away
Down the trail reaching its peak on the straight away
Not looking back
His speed unforgiven
Giving it the illusion of hovering off the ground
Not a sound heard as it flies by
The turtle still at the starting line
It's progress unhealthily
It to makes no sound
It's footsteps stealthy
But it stills marches on
The rabbit far ahead
Looses his sights that this is a race
He knows the turtle pace
He begins to dash around trees
Running in circles
His momentum makes the ground begins to give
making a donut effect
So detracted he begins to chase leafs
Caught in the wind
So burned out he crashes
Falls into a trance like slumber
As the turtle still moseying along
Moving at a records pace two steps per minute
Begins to catch up
Soon enough it passes the rabbit
Flabbergasted hes asleep
Quietly it sneaks away down the trail
Pace still two steps per minuet
As the race progresses the turtle has the finish line in sight
Thinking this is its moment
To shock the world
But it ain't over yet
The sleeping rabbit awakes
Yawning an switches its nose
Starts running again
He sees the turtle in his sights
Confused how this happened
There's no way he's going to lose
But fate was not on his side
As he widens it stride
Trying to catch up the turtle just near the finish line
One step and it's all over
And just as the rabbit catches up
It's too late

Captive
devante moore Jan 2015
They push the record button on the camera
Handing me a piece of paper to read
I can feel their greed
Their holding me for random I see
Wanting a big pay day
From the USA
But even I know it doesn't work that way
We don't negotiate
And take action when it's too late
When their done using me
The through me in a cave
I hate this place
The ground is cold
And the water a rotting brown color
The only sounds I hear are their foot steps
An murmurings of a languages I do not share
I should've never came to this place
Afghanistan
Wanting to do reports of our troops brought me here
Wanted to know how deep the rabbit hole goes
How much did our troops really know
I figure now their just searching for things that looks suspicious
But three men walk in derailing my train of thought
Dragging me out of the cave
Yelling words I don't understand
Why me I'm a nobody
No one knows my name
The only tv time I've gotten is between these camera frames
As the push record again
One pulls out a machete
I blink hard
Already knowing my fate
The shove my face towards the ground
And all I hear
Is the machete coming for me

Sniper
devante moore Jan 2015
As I lay here waiting
Watching
The breeze sends a chill down my spin as it drys the cold sweat
I've done this a thousand times
An each time it's taken a piece of me
I feel empty like a bullet shell I just fired
I've been doing this to long
Far away from home
I've forgotten there voices
Their faces blurry
Your memories replaced by nightmares of dead bodies falling
As I'm lost in thought
I get a message
The target has arrived
I regain focus
And stare down the scope
Searching for you through out the crowd
Found you standing in the open
I can see your heartbeat from outside your chest
I can see you exhale
And wipe off the sweat
You seem nervous
I focus again an take aim
But you don't move
You stand there
Like your begging for me to shoot
You check your time piece growing more anxious
Your just another sacrificial lamb to me
I put my finger on the trigger
Take a deep breath gaining composer
The wind picks up forcing me to change the dial on the scope
As I'm ready to firer
I can hear feet teasing the ground behind me
But before I can react I feel a sharp pain an the world fades to black

Different colored sheep
devante moore Jan 2015
I'm the one that stands out in the flock
Mocked because of my skin
Always pushed to the back
When it's feeding time
At night I'm cast out
Staring at the bright lights in the darken sky
Even if I was up there I wouldn't be seen
I tried to fit in
But it was a battle I couldn't win
Even if we baaah the same
The color of my skin could not be over looked
The way they look at me
I'm just another tree in there way
A predator they try to avoid
To them I'm the disease that killed there kin  
My company is only wanted when the wolves out smart the Shepard dog
So they try to stand behind me
Hoping the wolf will take me because of my deformity
But I'm still here
So many have gone before me
And when your all gone I'll still be here
Ready to lead the ones who's different like me

When the rich wage war
devante moore Jan 2015
When the day comes kiss your kids goodbye
Pack up your things with your heads held high
And try not to cry
Cause we got to be strong
Put on a tough face an promise your love ones your coming back home
Cause it'll be us on the front lines
Us who will be the first to hear the bullets fly
And the rockets and tanks
Out here where just a number
Same thing back home
If you think they care our lives on the line
Your horribly wrong an a lil naive
It's us who will be in the trenches fighting for their lives
Because their to priceless to fight an die
They have to many things to loose
They have a lot to prove
But so do we too
Some of us are fighting for the promise of a big financial break
To put food on our babies plate
To stop the bank from taking
Maybe they will train us
And give us a way to survive
Or maybe it's a way to get rid of us
To deplete or population
We outweigh them
But still there on top
They control the flow of money
While our wells run dry
So when that day comes
It's us who's on the front lines
Trying to provide for the ones we love back home
And it's not like we have a choice
We are the ones picked first
But we don't back down
Be ready
When the rich wage war it's the poor who die

We been out her thirty minuets already
But you don't seem to care
It's cold out here you know
But you have protective skin wear
Do you have to sniff everything...
Just pick a spot an ***
You do this everyday
Isn't that the same tree from yesterday
You lift your leg at every ledge
Every edge of anything
You even *** on our neighbors trash can
Hay that doesn't bother me
Even when you empty you still lift you leg
At everything
I'm sure you know it doesn't work that way
You try to pull but can't match my strength
Choking yourself still not gaining an inch
We been out her to long
But there you go again
Sniff and lift its the same process
Fine fine but this is the last tree
And after we're passing up everything

Last night the memory of you visited me
As I was chasing sleep
I'm not going to lie
I almost cried
Not sure why
You've been gone for awhile now
I'm sorry I didn't visit you as you laid in that hospital bed
Fight sickness in a coma
Your stronger then me
Doctors said you can hear
Just can't speak or respond
So it would've be useless right?
Like throwing a rock in a dried up pond
I'm sorry I we didnt stop by once in awhile like we did when we were kids
The visits stop **** I don't know why
But I remember when we did come around
You always cracked jokes
Guess I'm not the only clown
You made us laugh like you always do
**** tears are coming just at the thought of you
You couldn't walk
So we never heard your feet
You got around in that wheel chair like a pro
I remember playing foot ball on your ps2
And now that you gone I don't have much to say
But I remember that funeral like it was yesterday
Sitting there as everyone shared there stories of you
An I'm ashamed I didn't have one to say
But the pastor said we should celebrate your going away
So these memories of you you are happy
But it was my job to carry you away
And I feel honored I was picked
But you were heavy that first lift
Body empty as you were towed
An as we carried you to that truck
Thought my job was over I had enough
And as we got to that grave site I thought **** not again
Had my suit jacket off an everything
I'm such a ****
But let me make it clear it's not you I didn't want to lift
The sun was unforgiving that day
Shooting rays at my face
And as we pick you up once more
You were much lighter
You must have given me extra strength
Or the others just organized better
And as we laid you over your grave site
The man in charge said a everlasting prayer
And I would recite it if I could remember
He gave us flower petals to lay over your grave
And I kept one in my wallet for a rainy day
Your memory will never fade
Never die
And I can't wait till I see you again
Some day in the sky
I don't know when but I know it's only a matter of time
Love you uncle bunny
Forever your memory in my mind
R.I.P uncle Bunny

Outsiders
devante moore Jan 2015
We are the ones who don't fit in
The ones who don't stick to the rules
Some of us were picked last
Some of us picked on at school
You over look us
Miss treat us
Because we're different from you
You see us as shadows
Something that's not there
Some say it's wrong and not fair
Shunned because of our different views
We came up as errors in the system
Mistakes
That you try to erase
Your always looking out
Were always looking in
Come take a look
See what I see
I see your suffering
Hate that everyone controls you
It's what happens when you try to fit
Your as common as the ocean winds
Predictable like leafs falling in fall
We outsiders don't stick to the script
So it makes us rude
It makes us hard to get along with
Well let me ask you something
If I'm so different
And looked down on
How is it this outsider is happier then you

Hands held high
devante moore Jan 2015
Don't shoot me
My hands held high
If I raise them any more they'll touch the sky
Your gun pointed at me
How could you possibly have fear in your eyes
Look in mine
See the will to live
As we both stare down each other
Guess this is what you call a stand still
I dare not move
Wouldn't want you to make a mistake of me charging
Giving you the chance to make your gun breath
Shooting fire and oozing smoke
No I'm not moving one bit
I'd even hold my breath if I thought it posed a threat
But my hands held high can't you see
I'm not a threat
It's you who's threaten me
But you have the gun so your in charge
Does it make you feel more like a man
I'd *** my pants if it helps
To bad I already went
I try to hold back the sweat
But I'm nervous you see
I've never had someone point a gun at me
My arms getting tired
I can't keep this up any longer
But I can see the power in your eyes getting stronger
I don't like the feeling of helplessness
As my arms begin to quiver
You began to smile
I can smell your pride from here
Man it's foul
My arms began to fall
You tighten your grip around the handle
Choking it
But I get a second wind and my arms **** up
POW
as we stare at each other
You lose your smile
Your gun is smoking why is it smoking!
I can feel something
But I'm to afraid to look down
What have you done
I can feel warmness leaving
Why is it fleeing
I'm getting weaker
Your staring in shock
Do something!
Say something!
What have you done!
As I feel my body shift backwards
In the mist of this free fall
I've never seen the sun this beautiful

Wonderland
devante moore Jan 2015
We all saw how Alice clumsily fell down that hole into wonderland
But I ponder an wondered could there have been another hole leading to another land ?
One that she couldn't see
How deep could this rabbit hole be
I wonder what strange things we would see
Maybe a two headed dog
Or a cat that croak like a frog
How strange would this undiscovered land be?
Would there be horses the size of nails?
Would they have snails that weren't so frail ?
Could the move faster then the speed of lightning?
Would there be an ice ring you can wear around your fingers ?
Or maybe twinkies would have eyes
A dragon chasing its tail
Would the sky be more then one color ?
Would there even be gravity ?
Could you only talk if you didn't walk An could you walk only of you didn't talk
How strange would that be
All of this down a second rabbit hole
Into another land more stranger and more wonderful
Then wonderland
How deep would this second rabbit hold go

Dirt

I feel so low
Didn't think I could get this low
Manage to put myself under the floor
Between the cracks an nooks
And now I'm stuck
With the dust mites
And dead mice
It's been so long
I've raise a pair of dust bunnies
I can describe how the were born the process in which it took
I feel like that last bit of dust you can't sweep up
You think you got it
Until you move the dust pan back
Then sweep until you think it's gone
But no I'm still here
Just been swept thin
So thin if you open the door
Just one gust of wind will be the end of me
It'll ******* away
I've been this way to long
But its my own fault
It's killing me to see me this way
If I could get away from me I would
I'd open that door an let in the wind
At least it would be the end

Cinderella Man
devante moore Jan 2015
I was there
Hidden plainly in the open
What you think your the only one who wasn't seen
Think you had it tough?
Yeah I know living in a house with a witch and her three side kicks was tough
I grew up with a dad constantly out of scene
There's no pictures of him in the house
He wasn't around long enough to say cheese
Had a mom bashing me
Thrashing me with words
But you got a fairy god mother
How about throwing me a fairy go papa
No that's just obscene
Doesn't makes sense
So I sat in the back
Wondering if the girl who's never noticed would notice me
Wrong of me to think that
To amazed by the flashing wand
And her circus tricks
I'm not going to lie  
Turning the rats into shinny black horses was kind of slick
There coats glistening under the moon light
Just a snorting and whipping there tails in the air
And two more into coachmen
Wonder if they valet park that pumpink too
Let's not forget that dress an matching shoes
You got until twelve
That's lame could've done a trick to give you some extra time too
It's only 9 old lady come on
Oh well ***** it but I'm coming too
Let me just sneak onto this coach
I might as well just get in you two still ignoring me
But no I'll get in the back where I can't be seen
Your finally in
Onwards your coachmen scream
One shooting his whip in the air
Making a cracking noise
You would think it would be a smooth ride
But nooo
These **** wheels hit every bump and rock on the road
Just tossing me around in the back
This is not how you treat a stowaway
But we're here now thank god
I jump out the back
As you go trotting up the stairs in your fancy clothes
I'm in rags that don't match
And let's not forget about the holes
I'm not dress right I suppose
I hit one of your lil coachmen
With a sneak attack an steal his clothes
Don't worry I'll give them back
I shoot up the stairs still putting on these tight *** shoes
Through the Corridors
Stopping to look at the pictures
Ooh what a fine as queen
Getting to distracted back on root
I make a left then right then another right
Crap I'm lost
I retrace my steps
Oh look a sign that says ball
I bust in like a mad man trying to stop a wedding
No it's not that people I'm just late
But you all fancy rich white folk don't care
Didn't even look me way
And I'm dressed so nice
To busy with your noses stuck in the air like the ceiling is going somewhere
I get a nod from a cute waitress
Looks likes these clothes doing the trick
I make my way to the buffet all you can eat? What that's me
Time flies when you crash a ball an steal there food
It's 11:59
Crap got to beat you to the door
I dash pash you stepping on your shoes
At least it slowed you down
Shoot past the corridor
Reached your coachmen
Gave him his clothes and some cheese
Hopped in the back
And now I'm home free
I had a blast I must say
Looks like being unnoticed has its perks
Let's do it again tomorrow
If your small *** feet don't hurt
I'm not going to lie I had fun doing this one and yea sorry it's long and long is not my forte but eh :)

Evolution vs The Bible
devante moore Jan 2015
Which one is right
Which one should we believe
How did we began
Were we made by this powerful being
Or something that crawled out of the sea
I don't know don't ask me
Bring together a Christian and scientist
Let them hash it out
One spitting out bible verses
Look it's written so it has to be true
The other countering with facts
And finding why this simply isn't true
Oh look we found this deep beneath the earth
Clearly this shows our birth
Let's agree to disagree
None of us simple humans really know
But they each want us to believe
So I ask you
How were we conceived
Were we made by a powerful being
Or did we evolve from something small

Conversation with the moon
devante moore Jan 2015
I am talking to you but you won't talk back
Then I yell
And it turns to screams
Why won't you talk back
I know you hear me
Your looking right at me
We're making eye contact
But you sit there an stare
Not saying a word
So I stare back
You comfort me
Your glowing light
Calms me
I feel like your all I have
But your boring
Like talking to a wall
An sometimes your not there at all
But when I saw your halo
I was amazed
How there can be something so beautiful about you
Even though you still ignore me

Where did devante go
devante moore Jan 2015
Where did I go?
Well if you must know
I'm here right here
In the lines you read
These words your reciting
I made myself apart of this poem
Now we are one in the same
I put a piece of me in these anyway
Why not go all the way
Imprinted here
Forever I'll stay
If you ever need me or wonder where did devante go
I'm here right here
In between these sentence
I am each word
So now you know

Sunrise
devante moore Jan 2015
An illusion like everything else
Looking at it is time travel
Eight minutes behind
Bet you didn't know?
That's how long it takes
For it's light to show
What you looking at isn't actually there
It's light bending
Being distorted
By ours truly
The atmosphere  
The sunrise is lies
It's not real
There's no such thing as the sun rise
It's all in the eyes
But it's appealing
Spirit lifting
Heart warming
So go ahead take a look
At the sun rise

Free Fall
devante moore Jan 2015
Am I falling
Or am I gliding
Is this me dying
Am I passing over to the other side ?
The ripples in skin says other wise
As the wind whips past me
Screaming, blasting in my face
I descend faster
Gaining speed
Into the blackness
The darkness
I fall and fall deeper darker
Almost reaching the ground
I pull the parachute
There's still a glimmer of hope
A chance my life will be spared
Is there anything I should live for
No nothing
I'm to close to the ground
For the parachute to matter now

Waves
devante moore Jan 2015
I can feel the waves crashing
As I float beneath the sea
Motionless
Gliding with the currents
Carrying me over the rugged rocks
As my body is shredded I dare not scream
That would just be wasted breath
Air I desperately need
So I take the pain
Without a fight  
I remain motionless
And just watch the waves

Tree
devante moore Jan 2015
I feel like I'm a tree
My leaves stripped off
I lost my glow, my green
My usefulness
Now I'm naked barren and bear
Strong gust of winds whipped away my leafs
The pain of them being pulled away is unforgiven
Each time I've been hurt
The bond between them and my  branches as been weaken
I've been uprooted
An planted at the end of this valley
Other trees hog the sunlight
My branches home to spiders and there webs now
I look like a decoration for halloween
Seasons passed an still I look the same
Rotted
Bark stripped away
Winds whistle through my now hollow holes
I feel like a tree that's lost all my leafs

Tears
devante moore Jan 2015
Where did this salty substance come from
I haven't seen this in years
These tears
They over flow out of the ducks from which there stored
But I fight trying to hold them back
Long enough from them to drain back in
Where the belong
Behind the folds of my eye lids
Every once in awhile they show up again
This time the burden was to much
The hurt was to strong
They creep to the surface
Like an unbound spring
And they sit at the boundary
Peaking over the edge
Until one has the courage to leap off
Into an unknown territory so it latches on an eye lash afraid to let go
But slowly it looses its grip
Then free falls
But the rest choose the safe path an climb down my cheek
They descend slowly, carefully
And as they reach the end of the path
They detach
And who knows were they'll end
This is the last time I'll tear up again

Please
devante moore Jan 2015
Stop
Just go
Steady waiting on you to leave
I wanted all of you
Just wanted you to believe in me
To trust me
I wouldn't drop you so easily like leafs
No
I'd carry you
Far away from this place
If you want to fly
I'll be the wind beneath your wings
I'll be the oxygen in your lungs
As you dived deep beneath the sea
But you can't see it
How much I care
The love for you
Nothing ever could compare
I'd love you 10 times over
An still have more to spare

Thunder
devante moore Jan 2015
It crackles and whips against the darken sky
Disguise by the clouds
It makes itself noticed
Then gone in a flash like lightening
The sound of it rolling through the sky is not what worries me
It's what comes after
What follows
The disaster that it brings
As I look to the sky
The darken clouds looks full
And ready to bring hell
I wonder what kind of precipitation will fall
It booms in again and again
But it's hard to pinpoint its location
I don't not know from where it comes
But it's a warning
A beacon
But I'm use to this kind of storm
And they say nothing is promised tomorrow
But I promise you what happens today
Will spill off into the next day
