Scorched past
devante moore Aug 2015
Leaving the past behind is hard when it scorched your path
The future covered in ashes
A steady breeze blowing it back in your face
Choking on memorizes that can't be erased
Making it hard to forgot
Polluted airwaves
From a tragic event
Now the trek you on has been permanently marked
Each step taken
The ground gives at your feet
Beaten to a pummel in advance
Now every advance you take makes you think it will all end the same
The future, today's past
Makes moving on impossible
When you have a scorched past

Life full of pain
devante moore Aug 2015
Knowing what's it's like to be a stranger in your own home
Feeling like you don't belong
The odd one out
So you sit alone
Blasting music in your zone
Pains of being unaccepted
On the scent of your breath
Wondering what you were put here for

Parents divorced
And they blame you
A broken family
Plague by you
A young girl
Thinking you were a mistake
And this pains you
Wanting your life story to end
To think your family is better off without you
This weight on your shoulders
Makes you feel you've been crushed by a boulder

The sickness come and goes
Distorts your skin
Makes you hide
Hate yourself inside
Loving yourself is hard to do
Doctors says this disease may be fatal
But it's just a chance
And it scares you
Thoughts you won't be here long pains you

He use to beat her
And there was nothing you could do
Your were such a small insignificant child
To step in an put up a fight
You watched your mom used as a punching bag
Hit until you didn't recognize her face
Helplessness is what you felt
Pained you she couldn't count on you

You cut everyone off
Shut yourself from the world
No one could ever be trusted enough
To know the real you
Dad was never around
He was always such a let down
Words never holding value
Putting your faith in anyone else
Would be a costly mistake
Thinking you would be betrayed
So you sit alone
You don't need anyone else
Only trust in you
You made preparations
No one else would disappoint you
But you've always felt you been on your on
A life forever in solitude
Pains you

This Darkness
devante moore Aug 2015
I feel at home
Laying in nothingness is where I belong
No Ray of light to call my own
This darkness comforts me
It subdue me when I'm alone
There's no hiding from it
No begging it to leave
This darkness if apart of me
It's the knife that cut me when I bleed
The dead leaves that fall from there stripped trees
It's the anger that needs to feed
The void that filled an empty heart
It's the stitches that kept it apart
Now I owe it
Cause it owns me
This darkness
This darkness
Is me

In this moment
devante moore Jul 2015
The world is at a stand still
Only I move
Land mines planted for me to step on defused
I've seen how I end
I conspired against the truth
Words from the TV brain washing my youth
A road already paved for me
But I choose a dusty trail
Off the map I track
My tale rewritten
Edited by the all mighty
In this moment I'm not alone
She walks beside me
My dusty trail is now her own
Conceived on the same day
Out of the cold Birth something warm
In this moment

Roadkill
devante moore Jul 2015
Splattered and crushed
Paved the pavement with its guts
Painted the roadway
Stained it with its blood
An unlucky event
Unfortunate at the least
And eyes that fall upon this falls down
The smell turns back anything around
But a leg twitch
There's still a glimmer of hope
That all heartbreaks
Don't die on this side of the rode

Blossom
devante moore Jul 2015
It's to soon for you to bloom
Not wanting this to sprout up to quick
Happiness in the beginning can be a costly trick
******* up these new found feelings
Swelling like a face full of stings
Fueled by a school girls crush in replace of the sun
Petals already clipped from past pains
Your seed buried in rotten soil
But I can see your roots are strong
I can see life radiating off you
The scent you give hits
But things are different
Your with me
I just hope you don't bloom to soon

Anomaly
devante moore Jul 2015
Born like any normal foal at first sight
Out it came with its four legs in the spring light
Its hair shined in the sunlight
Its first steps weren't good
But soon it got them right
Two days past before anything strange came about
A horn appeared in the center of its head
No longer a normal colt
An anomaly that was thought to be pure bread
But instead It turned into something magical
Its hair turned icy white
It would shimmer under the moonlight
Its horn grew in a spiral with a solid gold tip
Its tail whipped as it walked
Beautiful
But a defect
Stumbled upon human eyesight
An anomaly never seen before
Stolen under the cover of night
Put to sleep to be humane and polite
Then dissected

Lost memories
devante moore Jul 2015
Her perception is like a abandoned house
Taking over by Mother Nature
Her memory fades as the vines penetrate her aged mind
Not as well built as she was in her youth
Brick walls crumble from the decades
Faces an names no longer meet the connections as they use too
Just silhouettes  
She forgets to remember
The structure of her thoughts weakened by the cracked support beams
The signals in her brain scattered like a school of fish
Misfires makes her forget  
Introductions repeatedly like this is the first time we met
Her experienced eyes look past me
Anyone can see
The disease is eating her memory

Eyesight
devante moore Jul 2015
There's a lot of pain in her eyes
She tried to hold all it back
But it showed when she cried
She was promised happiness
But It was all a lie
She believed in happy endings
Just not in fairy tales
She burned the pages of her own story
Believed she could start a new
Looking into her eyes
The unwritten story was sown
Painfully crystal blue
Tried love but it backfired Camouflage her hurting behind a smile  
But every once in awhile
You could see the pain In her eyes

Forgive
devante moore Jul 2015
If you can forgive love can truly live
Letting go of what scared your past
Clears out your walking path
Holding on is a poison that destroys you
Corrosive
Deteriorating your heart
A venom immune to any cure
Forgive
Lifting the straps holding you down
Your bound no more
Only when you forgive can you truly love
Only if you can forgive
Jul 2015 · 308
War
devante moore Jul 2015
War
Walking over empty gun sells
The battlefield decorated with creators
Ground still sizzling from the bombs let loose
Vacant magazine lay in piles
Two forces holding nothing back
Letting bullets fly
Will do anything to claim victory
White flags turned to ash
This is a fight to the death
But before this all started
They had one enemy
The world
When love was around they had each others back
But it dwindle
Now they aim at each other
With no love
Each other they attack
Now this relationship is war

What I've got to do
devante moore Jul 2015
I love you
But what I've got to do
Will hurt more then the fighting do
This has been coming to a end
I rather lose you then stay and hurt you
We've been drifting apart
Torn from each other by a rippling current
I want to work this out
But we both unfamiliar with change  
We were a long written love play that's been stuck in intermission for to long
This relationship is unhealthy
We both hurting
We both un happy
Even though this may hurt you
I think it's best we go out separate was
Two different shades of color that didn't blend well
It's not something I want to  
Our love has been stained grey  
Went tumbling off the edge of a waterfall
To risky to recover
What I've got to do
Can't be done by you

She sat in the corner
Wrist cut
Dripping blood
Stained walls from her frantic fits
Talking to her suicidal thoughts  
She was plagued by a faulty destiny
So she cursed faith
Living with a permanent heartbreak  
Was just to much for her to take
Her parents often reminded her she was a mistake
She was the tool they let there anger out on
Used as a punching bag
And gift verbal abuse
Plus her dad kissed on her when mom wasn't around
No friends
Disgraced by society because she loved her own ***
Death is the only thing she has at stake
To her the world was cruel
Proof you don't have to die to get to hell
God wasn't listed in one of her beliefs
This blade her only relief
This is her religion
She learned to get rid of one pain feel another
The only thing she could control
As long as she has this she needs nothing else
It's why she slits her wrist

Obese love
devante moore Jul 2015
They get lost in each other's hugs
Skin soft like a fluffed rug
Sink into each other like a sat in bean bag
Others get jealous from their over bragging
How much in love they are
They don't see the ripples in each other skin when they walk
Or there over bearing movements on the surface of their face when they talk
Their love more sweeter then the cupcakes they bake
Rich like the chocolate they consume
They huger for each other's affection
A bigger appetite for it more then food
They see each other as equals
Not a health risk or a person who can't control there weight  
No love is bigger then obese love
devante moore Jul 2015
You promised you'd fight for us
But if I were to end this
You would encourage me to go
Your words get caught in a spiderweb
Spawn up then ****** dry
Guess your vision of us was misled by your own eyes
I promised I'd never take a break from you
But I forgot to messaged you two days in a row
Some promises are meant to be broke
You must think my words aren't reliable
I easily stuffed them behind the wall of flaws because there pliable
The promises we made should be buried beneath the ground
Silence forever
If they could speak lies would be their only sound
Both bound by this undeniable love
But missing the necessary pieces to crown our words as kings and queens
Instead they've been impeached  
Some promises are meant to be broken
At least the ones we've made

Lemonade
devante moore Jun 2015
Tangy when's she's pushed too far
But sweet is what you really are
Bitter when she's missing sugar
Refreshing
But only when I'm dying of thirst
Squeezed the juices out of her
Now I'm just stuck with the seeds
When our lips touch I feel like I'm kissing the outside peel
Lighting up my taste buds in a nasty way
She can be cold like the ice I've added
This drink is madness
But still lemonade is my favorite drink

Intoxication
devante moore Jun 2015
It's what you always do
Drinking until you can't remember what caused you to
Drown yourself until all the pain is gone
Hydrate yourself until there's nothing left
But the scent of alcohol on your breath
Pour it up until your body is numb
Get faded
Another
Don't stop until your vision betrays you
One more
To get your cheeks blush
Drink yourself into tomorrow
To forget about yesterday
Hoping this next one will send your troubles away
And that the levee of drinks hold them back
Your consciousness on the brink of collapsing
But that's what you toast to

Wrath
devante moore Jun 2015
My wrath could move mountains
Conquer the tallest Titan
Bone shattering like the bite of a crocodile
It's everlasting
Longer the the Nile
When it's unleashed its vile  
Jagged  
Unpredictable
More unpleasant then a rotten smell
From a corps a flamed in hell
The devil dwells
Swells as he feast
On this beast
Looking to cause pain
It's inflictions are like cuts from a rusted knife
Eyes blood shot red
Logic has fled
The only mission is to hurt
It pours down like ashes from a slumbering volcano
Awaken and anything in its path mistake for a target
Bargaining on failed attempts
The demons swim in the rage
Wraths locks has been weakened an shaken loose
But this only the beginning
The door is still close
Once its open who knows

Immaturity
devante moore Jun 2015
She has seen the worse part of me
Pointing fingers at each other
No you can't blame me
It's all because of you
We would be much happier if you were a better you
Twisting your words
Intentionally
Only because it benefits me
Fighting over everything
Thoughts of ending it over anything
And it's only the beginning
But it feels like this is the end
To immature to let things go
But so are you
Differences never settled
We will never be one
Always split in two

Behind the sweet dress
devante moore Jun 2015
Behind the dress
Is a lost girl
Confused about the world she was born in
She tried to hide her emotions In its attractive style
High above her knees
Her matching underwear you can see
When her dress catches a breeze
Drowned herself in pills
Plague by insomnia
It's hard for her to sleep
Not wanting to die in solitude
A man she met tonight keeps her company
Made sure he saw her
Drew him in with her sweet dress
He asked about her cuts while they lay
They're just inflictions of her past she would say

Cocaine
devante moore Jun 2015
*******-
He never could understand why his mom got high
At ten years old how could he expect to know
She invested in it
Introduced to her at 16
It lived in her  
The urges for it she couldn't control
She sold her soul to the dealer
Even fought and stole
But it has taken its toll
The ends of her nails where dead
Her hair frizzy and dried on her head
It ate away the muscles in her legs
Her lips pale
She was skinny an frail
Always thinking of her son
She would say stay away from this drug
Don't become like me
Getting high in secret
Not In front of him
Did her best to provide for him
Took him to school on time
Missed meals to make sure he was fed
Always kissed him goodnight in bed
To her he was also a drug
She'd do anything for him
Never frowned in front of him
Drowned him in her love
To him she was an angel God sent from above
But that didn't stop them from taking her son away
Forcing her to become clean
But her heart was breaking into two
Without him she was nothing
That same night she od
Died addicted to *******

Pimple pt 2
devante moore Jun 2015
Back on your face
In more than one place
Your cheap tricks to get rid of me didn't work to well
Instead I grew more and swelled
Blackened because of you picking at me
Left marks
Ignored my warnings
Ruined my fun
So I ruined what you liked the most
Right at the center of your face
For all to see
You thought when I went away
It was the end of me
But I just hid undercover
Waiting for the perfect moment
I show at the worst times
When you least expect it
And if somehow
You find a way to suppress me
I'll be back to show a third time

Jungle
devante moore Jun 2015
Leaves crumble beneath their feet
Apes,snakes and wild things
Not safe on the ground
So the weak hide high above in the trees
Stinging bugs
Equipped with poisonous drugs
Spiders hide under logs waiting to ambush
Vines hang low a nature made swing
Blood stained leaves
The aftermath of a prowling tiger
Birds shout from above
As the victim is hauled away like a rug
Fallen trees tell a story
Army ants march in formation
Taking shrubs leaves and hacked up bugs back to there base
Nectar seeking flies get caught in hungry plants
Wanting each other for supper
The unsuspecting get snatched up
The jungle stomach grumbles
Its hunger only grows
Its never satisfied

Born killer
devante moore Jun 2015
Heat seeker
But cold blooded
Constrictor
Tongue twisssster
Hisser and injector
I can taste you from a far
Fear my strike
Im like lightning when I bite
Hidden among the dead leaves
Camouflaged high above in the trees
You aren't safe from me
I'll find you
Squeeze the life out of you
And when you can no longer breath
Swallow you whole
From head to toe
Killer of many
Enemy of most
Fear, none
I slither amongst the ground
Leaving my scale prints bound
Stubble across me you're likely to die
Kiss you with a corrosive liquid
The last thing you'll see while your alive
Is the death in my eyes
I was born a killer

love and hate ft kelsie
devante moore Jun 2015
I hate that I love you
But love that I hate you
Two feelings intertwined
Playing tricks with the mind
The feeling of loves keeps me on track to you
But your faults twist like vines
Then hate comes between the lines
Staining the love I have
Like spilt red wine
I love you
And hate you
Two feelings conflicting at the same time

I hate the things you've said and done
But you have won
Capture the heart and it's all yours to toy with
I feel like I'm drowning
You're making me drown
Getting so far down, I'm suffocating
But in an instant you pull me back
You saved me
You're my hero and my villain
I hate that I love you
But love that I hate you

Cheetah run
devante moore Jun 2015
Why are we running
We run because of the need to feed
To provide for our offspring's after the breed
I stalk you from a far
Picking out the weak, got you in my sights
Our speed makes you wish you were more camouflage in the brush
Already upon you in a rush
Kicking up dust
Startled you
Slowed your reflex's just enough
Usually a solo hunter
But there's an extra pair of 8 feet running next to me
Hunting tactics in synch
Chasing you through the dusty plains
I run you in their direction
So they can sweep you off your feet
Like a midnight affair
As they sink their claws into your legs
I watch as your body and the ground meets  
I circle you panting while they hold you at bay
The white in your eyes show
You know you've become prey
Waiting for you to stretch your neck out for a second wind
Then ill strike and put this battle to a end

I open my eyes
Trying to grab composer
Like it slipped from my hand
I choke on the smoke in the air
It rips through my lungs
Every breath I feel closer to death
My head pounds
Like I been hit by a truck
I try to move no luck
As the smoke clears I finally see
A pole is the cause
There's a cracks in the windshield
From where my head met the glass
There's a smash on the passenger side
From where someone flew through
Must be this mystery person
I can't remember who
A lifeless corpse on the hood
Face shredded like cheese
Skin melting from the heat of the hood
I hear the cracking of fire
An the scent of gasoline
Everything is happening so fast
I can't remember what happen to me
So lets go back to the beginning
The memory of my past may not might be so great
But remembering what got me here
Might change my fate

Unspoken
devante moore May 2015
Who knew I'd ever tell you
The words I like you seemed lost
When thought up
They broke into pieces
Were swept away
Like a bottle out to sea
Couldn't find the words to tell you
So I left hints
Like signs on a trail
Hoping to point you in the right direction
But they failed
Hoping you would catch one like a fish on a hook
But watching them fly over your head
Felt like I was eating nails
But the fear of you going away
Was enough to propel
The words out of me
This change of events scares me
And who knows if we can bend this I enough and form an us
Maybe there's things I still can't tell
So my words stay unspoken

Pursuit of happiness
devante moore May 2015
The trail to happiness isn't as close as it seems
To be exact it's 9175 miles away from me
Across the sea
Where the Kangaroos and koala bear sleep
Why does this pursing happiness
Have to be so hard
Why is it so far
I wish for it to be closer on shooting stars
But hope soon fades
With the star as it drag races across the sky
Dipping beneath the horizon
Forever lost in space
But I see shooting stars when I get a glimpse of your face
My heart races
When I hear your voice
For a moment happiness is near
But soon disappears
To be replaced my something we both fear
Doubtfulness
That happiness will ever be real

Lovers comet
devante moore May 2015
Setting the atmosphere ablaze
Lighting the sky from space
Your end trails of sparkling outgas
Illuminates the sky
As the moon is in its absent phase
The blue in your eyes dances
This would be a perfect time for a first kiss
How powerful the moment would be
Lovers comet gracefully pass above
The feeling of blissfulness flow in its dusty tail
A memory that will forever be held
By its on lookers
Paralyzed
How many couples have named it
How many took pictures and frame this
A unique anomaly  
Only seen twice in ones life
But as it leaves our eye sight
We stare at it as it goes
The both of us
But not together, alone

He lost his arm
By a cooked bomb
His world lit up like firecrackers
He was engulfed in fire and metal shards
Then his body went numb
So he was stitched up
And sent back home
There was a new brand of limbs
So he volunteered to be experimented on
For a prosthetic arm
As he went through new trials during the day
He suffered at night
He had night terrors about where he was evacuated from
Seeing himself holding a ticking time bomb
While bullets whisked past above  
The bomb sunk into his hand like a solider in the slums
And as the time ticked one
His arm turned to glass and exploded
The shards from his arm imbedded themselves in his skin
This was his dreamed
He beg to be fixed
But even though they could give him a new arm
They couldn't fixed what he saw when he closed his eyes

Who better
devante moore May 2015
Who better for you then me
Who's going to love you unconditionally
When the path gets to rugged for you to walk on
Who's going to carry you like me
Tell me who could love you like I do
Who can fight with you then be ready to die for you like me
I can build you up
After I tear you down
Dress your face up In a smile
When it's been wearing a frown
Who's going to kiss the sun goodnight
Only to be there when it awakes from its sleep
Just to talk to you
Who will get angry like me when we don't speak
Who's going to get upset that your not here when I'm sleep
Almost 2 years in the making
Who's going to put a ring on your vacant finger
I need to know who better for you then me

Far from perfect
devante moore May 2015
Using words so viscous there almost seen
Like a fist aimed at breakable things
Blows cushioned by anger  
Trying to knock out your false words
I'm far from perfect
You accidentally hurt me
But the spitefulness in me makes me hurt you
You mean well
But I cut deep
You say you love me
But my anger makes those words numb
I lash out like whips with metal tips
Hoping to catch a grip of your skin
The sound of it ripping is refreshing
Now you know what I feel
I'm far from perfect
Un patient then most
I think about ways to hurt you the most
I always threaten you to leave
Then laugh like its a joke
Who's knows why you stay
If my imperfections was a salary
You'd get paid less then minimal wage
I'm a curtain that's already closed on a stage
I applaud you for staying in this scene so long
But all things must end

Love is suicidal
devante moore May 2015
She took my hand and escorted me to this cliff
Drawn by the words I loved you and I wish you were here
She was the late night whispers in my ear
But just before he words held value she disappeared
She wanted me to die for her
Loving her was like cutting my veins
The bleeding constant like a stream
She clutched an empty pill bottle
Drowning me in water hoping I OD
Often she was there when I was sleep
With a pillow glued to her hands
I want you bad It's suffocating
Like a plastic bag
She introduced me to misery and we became close friends
But love always stuck by my side
Poking me in the back with a stick
Hoping I'd fall off the cliff
And even though she tries to **** me
Her failed suicidal attempts keep me

Something to say
devante moore May 2015
Say something
Like you use to
Stop me from leaving, I'm about too
You use to have me speechless
Had my breath in your hand
But you let it slip through your fingers like sand
Can't tell you your losing me
So I wrote this for you
Hoping to give you a clue
As to why I'm so cold
Maybe loving me was to much If a taboo
Say something
The silence jabs at me
Have something to say
Spray your words on me like graffiti
Drench me in your words like rain
Let me know your still down
The doors wide open and your watching me leaving
Stop me from being swept away in the breeze
Even now
You don't have something to say

Demolition
devante moore May 2015
Lining the perimeter with explosives
I have to break down these walls
Or this is going to fall
Built this on rotten foundations
Anger still lurks around
Like a slave in a plantation  
Ready to put there masters to sleep permanently
Just beneath the surface
It feeds on the nails
Like a termite
It's down fall
Will rain heavy destroying it all
During the breakdown
The love will get lost in the dust
Withers and shrivels in the smoke
The dream of us has to be brought down  
Wood would crack under the pressure
Glass shatters as it break
The ground shakes
Metal bends  
Anything inside has no hope of being rebuilt again
After the smoke clears
We will clear out the rubble
And try to build this again

Superman 2.0
devante moore May 2015
You ain't no damsel in distress
I might have saved you once
But I retired this S on my chest
I tried to love you
But your just kryptonite In a Sunday's dress
You might have been the one once a midnight dream
But I get my power from the sun
So go out and have fun don't worry about me
No more saving hearts
Not everything in superman can heal as fast as my body parts
Your blue eyes were my weakness
My love for you was like a nerds love for comic con
I would've held a ton of bricks to help you cross this bridge
But now I'm tearing it down
With a gust of wind from within
Loving you has changed me
I'm not the superman I use to be

What are we
devante moore May 2015
What are we
I can't put this in a title
Technically this we
Isn't as solid as we'd like it to be
My dreams are more real then you and me
At times I'm confused
Abusing my brain
Tidal waves of rushing emotions flood in
I often think this is just a ruse
Faking each other out
The I love you doesn't out weigh the conflicts
It's just another counterfeit  
This we is just a contorted painting
Of a gremlin trying to scratch it's blind spot with a rubber stick
It just don't make sense  
How it will end just adds up the suspense
But it's predictable like a stencil
This we has already been drawn In
Written In pen
By the holy man
Maybe it is he who can tell me
What is the we,
We like to call you and me
I just don't see how it's been 5 months sense you last called me
And expect me just not to up and leave
But I guess it's the dream of we that keeps me
Now I see why people name there daughters hope
But I have a knife to hopes throat
Threatening it not to go
But another 365 days of this
And this we that we conjured up
Just can't be
Because I still don't know what we are

Hopeless romantic
devante moore May 2015
Throwing pebbles trying to wake you
The moon light is dim tonight
I grab one more and it went crashing through
Splitting the glass like cracked wood
I quickly held up a boom box
To play our song
But instead the sounds of *** noises and moans slither through the speakers
Someone has switched my tape
Plan B a mariachi band tag along with me
Actually they were just three randoms I ran into on the street
So the piercing noise they're making has polluted the air waves  
Rapping your ear
All off tune
There strings ripping apart as they play
Neighbor dogs bay
I finally wave them off saving the day
Or the rest of this night
Now we're at plan G
I skipped C D E and F
Unless you want to see a synchronized dance I made to gone gone
With a hobo who seemed to have rhythm
But only when he's filthy drunk
But plan G will save me and this night
Ready to get off your lawn
The mosquitoes are starting to swarm So here goes plan G a symphony of notes coming from me
Aiming to sweep you off your feet
Hopefully you don't fall from your window
As I start to sing a breeze carry the notes
Turing it into a sweet tune
Dogs howl
Approving
And as you smile and stare
Your eyes shine in the moonlight like pearls
Giving me courage to sing to the heavens
I try to hit high note
My throat cracks and it comes off more like a quack
You laugh
I'm such a hopeless romantic

Extraterrestrial love
devante moore May 2015
Her skin was silky blue
Foreshadowing a full moon
Her eyes mystique
But full of life
Bright lights dance behind her eye lids
Hair golden brown braided down her back
Around her neck scales form a silver necklace
Her lips were stained pale green
She reminded me of my once beloved
I fell for her pretending she was you
Flashes of the galaxies is what I saw when we kissed
Milky Ways played in her eyes
She showed me shooting stars
And I wished on them for you
I saw her crash landing when we held hands
She projected scenes from her home world in my head
Like a movie screen
She hailed from Venus
She was outcasted because of her compassion
Out Blasted into space
Shunned by her race
Until she found this place
Pulled her from the wreckage
In my arms she felt safe
Loved me from that day
But my love soon turned in disgrace
Man and Alien
Betrayed his own race
But when I look at her face I still see you
I, she, you and me weren't meant to be
But unlike you
See needs me
And I need her
She came her with more then love
With a pre warning too
Her species wants to invade

Cell phone
devante moore Apr 2015
Don't know how to tell you this
But your starting to become just words on my cell phone screen
Trying to convince me you love me
Even if you really do
My cellular connection is dropping so your messages is not getting through
And don't think It's you
It just hard to feel words on a screen
Your love is plausible
It just might be true
But I've succumbed to this distance
Can't feel the real you
If I met you in real life
I probably wouldn't know
Looking at a stranger looking back at me
Almost 2 years of unheard words
This long on a cell phone
To much of anything kills you
And right now it's my cell phone screen

A trail to a woman's heart
devante moore Apr 2015
Show me the road to her heart
Even if I have to play notes from a harp
For her not to depart
Show me the way
The array of mysteries
She holds in her strands of hair
Leading to her mind
Give me a way to freeze time to get it right
Or give me a machine to fix the poisoning things I've done  
Show me a trail to pick
Show me a way to a woman's heart
Give me some tips to make her forget
The way I've chosen has dug me into a pit
Teach me a conjuring trick to conquer her thoughts
Who knew getting to her heart would be this hard
A man needs help to a women's heart

Scale
devante moore Apr 2015
She wants to know how much I love her
But baby my love can be scaled
Trying to count the array of numbers
Would be like damning yourself to hell
A number between one and ten just doesn't compare
My love would disfigure the scale
Twisting it like molten metal
Turning it inside out
I would break it like a glass coffee ***
I love you to the point it hurts
Like I stepped on a rusted nail
My love has me chasing you like a dog after its tail
A infinite number
The back trail of it gets lost like colors we can't see
So if your looking for a number  
Sorry but my love can't be put on a scale

Mistletoe
devante moore Apr 2015
Our first time under the mistletoe
Here we go
I close my eyes and lean in
You laugh cause I kissed your nose
Who knew how this would go
Instead of feeling embarrassed I pull you close
Wrapping my arms around you
So close I can see my reflection looking back at me
So close I can see the thousand connection in your blue eyes
Mimicking the stars in the sky
My heart races
Nervousness in both our faces
I can feel you quiver
As your lips are quite smaller then mine
But that's fine
Like a puzzle they'll fit together
And even though it's not Christmas
This time we both lean in

Crow
devante moore Apr 2015
I lay there motionless
Past out from the thirst
Empty inside
Weaken hide
Easy picking for the things that scavenge from the skies
Vultures
Lured by what's rotting inside
Each one that swoops in a sin I've tried to hide
Ironic my sins try to eat my alive
But from the distance flies a black crow
Swoops in
It's claws diamond, shining in the light
These claws are the little good that's in me
Put to bad use
Rips the feathers from the dead flesh eaters
This crow
The darkest thing in me
Protects me
Buts it's not here to help me
Only to feed
I'm it's carcass
And after its full it breaks off pieces of me
Feeds it to these sin
To keep them at bay
I'm only safe when it flies away

Bad breath
devante moore Apr 2015
Shes been French kissing death
I can smell it on the scent of her breath
It singes my eyelashes
Each time I take a breath
I feel like I'm flirting with death
Kissing death stained her teeth
Turned them brown
Rotten her breath
Killing me
When she smiles I can she hairs
From whatever animal crawled up there and died
Does she know whenever she inhales
The riptide of chemicals that shouldn't be
Is the cause of her putrid breath  
Even when I she's gone away
It lingers
And stays
Polluting the airwaves

Rose
devante moore Apr 2015
It hurts when we hold hands
I can feel the coldness in your stem
It's the source of your emotionless pattern
Your leafs pulled from past handlers
Your thorns ***** me like the ***** you called me
Hoping I'll let go
But I only tighten my grip
Even if I have to endure the pain
Afraid of losing your scent
The sweet smell of precious nectar  
I've memorized it
The feel of your petals
The beauty in your color
I douse you in love to keep you alive
I want to fuel you like the sun
I want to be the reason you bloom in spring
But the more I invest, the quicker you wilt
You dying in my hands

Her art
devante moore Apr 2015
When body meets ink
And it stains the skin  
When the reward outweighs pain
So it becomes vague
When it's no longer just a needle
It's use as a tool to covey her body a canvas
She has become a stencil
Her skin a piece of paper
The needle a ink pen
And even if you don't understand
The meaning is more then what's on her skin  
It seep into her veins
And now her heart pumps it
She's ok that it tainted her blood  
This ink has become her
A walking collage
But unless you are her
You won't understand her
To her this is more then just a hobby  or sport
It's her life
Tattoos is her art

black flags
devante moore Apr 2015
I be the captain of this scurvy crew
We sail under the blue moon
Guided by black skies
The stars gave out on us long ago
Hearts cold
You can see the pain in our eyes
Not from the lack of *****
But the lack of treasure
We were told
It's better to loved and lost than never loved at all
Well we've loved and lost
Never to love again
So casted out to the seas
Bath with the Dolphins
To get rid of these fleas
The clean shaven looked lost in the waves
Crows feet eyes match the crow at my side
Picking the blooding ******* insect
From the crew
I remember the draining feel with you
The lack of civilization has dulled our eyes
Change the interpretation of words
Just blank stares and grunts
We've been drifting for months
But still the flashes of past memories haunts them
They relapse wanting love
So a plank I've built
Threaten them with it
Like a sword on my hilt
But the feeling of love was to great
Soon they staged a coup d'état
Set the ship on fire
And took shelter in the sea
All except me
As the black flags fall in flames around me
The captain and his ship both meet the sea

Lead skin
devante moore Apr 2015
Words fly from my mouth like a boxing combination
But she just takes it on the chin
I stab at her
Using my words as a knife
But they don't pierce her skin
Instead the steel bends
My words are just cast away
Like sawdust in the wind
I write them down
But it's like invisible ink is in my pen
Nothing phases her
And I like that
She has lead skin
