Haven’t written in a while
I’ve been stuck inside a hole 🕳️
One I didn’t know I needed
But it soon took its hold
From cause and effect
Applauding each other
Showing signs of respect
The word respect
I have dealt with
In certain aspects
Carved it into my arm once
Fighting my demons
Battling my own self neglect
Been through hell in a hand basket
But that’s neither here nor there
They’ve gathered to rally
They live and they share
With always a focus
A steady same thread
They know what they’re there for
What we can all comprehend
That we’re witnessing stardom
Gifted and elite
Every release is a banger
And not just new, but unique
Rinse and repeat
Dance rap or cut deep
It all sounds magnificent
As I’m falling asleep
No, seriously, I’m falling aslee

I am up at the break of dawn; The early morn
Where ideas are born

What better way to start the day
The suns first ray
That finds its way

Calm breeze upon my face
The moon to sleep
New days embrace

The adventures that lie ahead
Raise my head and rise from bed
No cloud in sight, overhead

I wonder what the day will bring
The birds that sing
And flap their wings

My attitude, a choice I make
The day ahead filled with give-and-take

To fill The hours until the dusk
Greatness waiting, in it I trust
Capturing it, I'm on the cusp

One step closer with every step
My journey, a grandiose trek
The removal of the time I slept

To try and fail
And try again
Until I triumph
It never ends

I can feel the heat
Of your body next to mine
No need to be discreet
When love is on the line

Tangled in the web we weave
You're all that's on my mind
Seems as though we are stuck
Our bodies intertwined

Not a spoken word is chimed
Break your spirit
As well as mine

Melting down into the sheets
Got to catch up with my dreams

Can't get used to working on Sunday
Got some place to be
Turn into a pumpkin, on the stroke of three

Watching from a distance, so that you don't cheat
As long as a toenail
Starring at webbed feet

Don't know who to follow
Out there on the street
A gulp and then a swallow
Every time we meet

Drowning in my sweaty palm
I still can feel the beat
Headfirst into water
Retreat, retreat, retreat

I thought I’d write a sonnet
Eloquent and sweet
I decided not to write a sonnet
I guess I got cold feet

A sonnet is complex
With way too many rules
I’d rather poke my eye out
If it were up to me to choose

Maybe I’m too brutal
Leaving you aghast
It isn’t what I intended
When I first got the chance

I judged you on appearance
Before you spoke a word
I did learn a valuable lesson, though
Which you may find absurd

I’ll never make that mistake again
There’s benefit in doubt
You’ve got me confused  
With what I’m all about

I’d like to think I’m normal
That’s untrue to the core
I’m a different person
Too hard to ignore.

I’m a furry guy
Even when I’m fully clothed
I’m a furry guy
How were you to know?

I’ve never been into manscaping
Instead, I’m fully grown
Leaves from off the furry tree
Are completely overblown

It is my prerogative
It’s my choice to choose
I’m hairy from the top of my head
Right down to my shoes

If I were ever at a **** beach
The gawkers would just stare
They’d be looking at my hairy bush
And I would‘t even care

It’s my body after all
Your opinion matters not
It’s my body after all
There is no secret plot

No, there is no reason,
Why I should be ashamed
I’m a furry person
You’d best recognize my game

For the longest time I've wandered
Down paths and winding roads
Only to encounter
What I've already known

The secret to my happiness
The one I call up on the phone
The only love that's in my heart
The only love I've ever shown

I've got to find my way back
From the bottom to the top
Relentless through the thick and thin
I'm never gonna stop

How could I leave you all alone
Baby I'm on my way
Baby I'm coming home
Baby I'm coming home

I'll say all the things I should have said
Do everything I can
To prove to you I've seen the light
Let you know I'm still your man

I've seen the error of my ways
I know I've made mistakes
But please, you just have to believe me
I've still got what it takes

Do you remember that first night
Our eyes met at the dance hall
You looked at me and I knew right then
It was for you that I would fall

Let's go back and rehash that moment
From where it all began
Back to all the innocence
Try to remember if you can

Let's start this whole thing over
I'm calling for a redo
I'll be a better version of myself
And you just keep being you

Can I please just have your forgiveness
Welcome me back with opened arms
This time it won't be like it was back then
When I lured you with all my charm

This is me here standing before you
No gimmicks, tricks, or games
I'm the man you fell in love with
The very one in the same

I'll get down on bended knee
Ask you if you'll be my bride
And If you'd have me as your husband
I'd be the happiest man alive

The blondest hair
The bluest eyes
Legs like a gazelles
A body to entice

The lowest whisper
The softest voice
The greatest smile
Let’s rejoice

The fullest lips
A button nose
Intelligence
I do suppose

Tell me about you
I’ll tell you about me
A whiff of perfumed air
A stunning sight to see

You caught me off guard
It’s how it’s meant to be
It was love at first sight
I saw you in my dreams

I want to come through,
for you and your whole crew
For the person you are,
and all that you do

I don’t want to step on toes
I just need you to see things from my point of view
And know that what I say is true

I’ve got your back
I’ve got it worked out
I’ll prove it until you never again have a doubt

Because I believe in the person you are
And I need a purpose, a reason, to reach for the stars

You are that purpose, the reason, and more!
I’m tired of the daily grind,
I need to explore
Time to button down the hatch and go fight a war

I am the driven
Right down to the core
I’m the one who’s waiting for you
When you open the door

I am your rock
The persuader of minds
I’ll have it there for you,  
And always on time

If there’s a barrier, any obstacles at all
I’ll knock them down, run right through the wall

You needn’t be worried,
There’s no need to be scared
This is what I was built for,
I’ve been well prepared

You’re my vision, a dream, a brainstorm, an idea
You’re the reason I wake up each day,
Why I face all my fears

You’re the whole picture, the ultimate goal
You’re the reason I know, all that I know

You’re what I’ve been after
since the very first day
That I breathed in the air
And had words to say

I need you to trust me
I will not be denied
I’m not doing it in hopes of one day, I can say that I tried

I’m relentless, a force, but I’m completely in stride
I may fall down sometimes, but I get back up,
It can’t hurt my pride

It’s the burning I feel, that’s deep down inside
It’s what keeps me going,
It’s what keeps me alive

They cannot deny me
I’m aware that they’ll try
But that only fuels me
They’ve got the wrong guy

I’m not the one, to turn, run, and hide
I’ve been put on this earth
So that our worlds could collide

I only break the laws of nature
I span worldwide
They’re going to need an army
But even then, they’ll just be pushed aside

I’m a counter reaction
Before they make their first move
I have somewhere I’m going,
I’ve got something to prove

Step aside and watch in wonder
As I do what I do
It’ll leave you baffled, and somewhat confused

I’ll always get to where I’m headed
I’m stubborn and dense
I may sometimes get distracted, but that’s just to build up the suspense

I’m grounded,
Insightful,
I’m thoughtful, and kind
I’m whatever it is I need to be
That’s how I was designed

If you get to know me,
I’m sure that you’ll find
I’m the person you want to have, right by your side.

I’m mystified, by my mind
The way it works is so divine
You cannot know, unless you try
A love that twinkles in your eye

Apologies, in due time
Symptoms of a concubine
Status left to define
Beauty at its all time high

By its nature, amplified
To a tune so criticized
In my ears mixed with wine
The devils dance is so sublime

It hypnotized, and taken lives
Note to self, please remind
Not to tell or tote the line
Sit back, relax, and unwind

I am getting closer
To the time when things go right
This is my greatest fear however
Gives me nightmares late at night

Something has got to give
As I live and breathe
Trying to be someone that clearly I am not
Has got me dropping to my knees

I will pray for Gods help
I will beg and plead
Until I start believing
I have all that I need

Show me there's a glimmer
Of hope I can achieve
A triumphant minor victory
Not unlike the air in which I breathe

I reach but cannot grab it
A forgotten memory
Recalling my lost childhood
Back when I held a lead

When I still had time to catch up
No matter what my speed
The challenge set before me
The final victory

I see my image in the mirror
I see others holding hands
I can't help but to see in myself
No ordinary man

Missed opportunities a plenty
I've had more than my fair share
Great tragedies have befallen me
And have found me unprepared

I'm not sure if I can recover
My inner cupboards are all bare
My bleeding heart feels for another
Even though they're unaware

As I take steps to move on forward
Leaving my sorrows in the past
Turn the grey days into color
Recovered from the mess

I'm picking up the pieces
Where I once felt solid gold
A melting *** of memories
Never doing what I'm told

I cast shadows in the bright sunlight
I set my bar too high to reach
My feet planted deep inside the quicksand
On some isolated beach

Lonely with a coconut
To share my inner thoughts and grief
But the coconut is despondent
And I'm way too far away to reach

And so I trudge my way through the muck
On a trail; I know not where it leads
Ruffled feathers to be plucked
Transforming wants into my needs

I try, I try, I fail
I try, I try, I win
My face may seem a little pale
But it's time that I begin

The narrative
The vision
The lack of inhibition
The foresight
The curtain
The feeling somewhat uncertain
The questions
The Knowledge
The things you learn in college
The passion
The drive
The tools to stay alive
The weapons
The war
The hell you fighting for?
Stop it.
