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

The change in the color of the leaves
Lay bare at the feet of the tall gaping pine
Twigs crackling with each new step
And overtones of the river nearby
No clear path, but a path nonetheless
Hopping over the trickling stream
Birds of prey screech from above
Always aware, but never in fear
With no imminent signs of real danger
Just the wind and the breeze
Whistling through trees
Thanks to Mother Nature and God, our creator

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'm open to temptation
The Devils advocate
A doctor to his patient
I think I'm feeling sick

Running from my demons
That hide inside my mind
The door is always open
And they often coincide

Released from my imprisonment
The weight from off my back
The feeling of entitlement
Attack, attack, attack!

A bright sun-drenched apocalypse
Burning my inner core
I stopped to smell the roses once
Why, I'm not quite sure

My vision sometimes fails me
My hearing comes and goes
My sense of touch compels me
As the smells elude my nose

Faith is all I have right now
But no godly man am I
When an angel falls from up above
It opens up the sky

I do not claim to have my masters,
But, at times I can be quite daft
The knowledge that I now possess
Helps me understand my past

The past holds all the answers
It's just circling its course
It did not take me 1000 years
To be this well rehearsed

A diamond ring in a cloudy sky still shines
As I reminisce to better times
Fleeting thoughts of a ***** mind
Can not one moment be defined

Erase the past and move forward
To the horizon up ahead
Separate the good from bad
Remember what was said

Listen to the voice of reason
Do not feel resigned
There is no gold at the end of a rainbow
None that you will find

Instead, rely on instinct
A reflex if you're blind
To help you see what is important
Made all by Gods design

Distance stands between us
The time is growing near
That I'll get to hold my sweetheart
My darling, my dear
There's excitement running through me
There's a skip in every step
My smiles' worn for all to see
Until my hearts content
Time has become a blessing now
When I thought it to be a curse
I'm unsure how this will all play out
But in my mind its been rehearsed
My anticipation is off the charts
That my beloved should now appear
It's like nothing I've encountered
Not once in all my years
The joy I feel is boundless
Yet it still hasn't reached its peak
I'm certain to approach its limits
Once our two hearts finally meet
To try and describe this feeling
Words just seem so obsolete
For emotion is heard its loudest
When ones heart skips a beat
I picture fireworks and neon lights
Yet nothing so discrete
That moment that our eyes do fix
I'll know what it’s like to be complete.

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 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

Tell me how to compromise
Share with me the reason
Blood is on your fingertips
It must be open season

Carry the weight upon your shoulders
Seething with every step you take
Be well rehearsed for your future days
And your inevitable fate

But while you're here
Emancipate
Carry on...
Create

That you should forge ahead
In a constant state
Steer through all the obstacles
Meet me at the pearly gates

To be welcomed there with open arms
I cannot guarantee
You are who you've always been
The only way to be

Face the judge and jury
Never you mind your inconsistencies
Lies will get you nowhere
While awake or in your dreams

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 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 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.

Rediscovered


Tinkering with this and that
Rediscovered in seconds flat
Where you are is where you’re at
Open fire, please stand back

Gathered in a creepy shed
Thunderstorms, heaven sent
The students need to be led
By the hand so they don’t get wet

Out of the cold, safe and warm
Like the day that they were born
Rise and shine, go explore
What you’ll find?
I’m not quite sure.

The illusion of abundance
A barmecidal way of life
Having just enough guts and gall
That you don’t have to think twice
Transparency to view the hype
My delusion is my vice
Justice from decisions made
For rich and poor alike
Not enough to make a change
But enough to entice
And after all is said and done
I only ask you name your price
