Fear
DC raw love Dec 2014
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for you are with me
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me

I honestly grow insecure as I get older
Because even when you hot there comes a day when you get colder

Comes a day when you slower, time is taking its toll
45 on the back of the jersey upon your soul

I'm scared of letting go, I don't know what the future holds
My nightmares are having nightmares
I'm quite scared of what's right and fair

How I fear an eternity
Will I hear well done when he turn to me?

Will I hear you care too much about
All this stuff that really don't matter?

You chase the wind and you don't want it
Got to the top of a 2 foot ladder

What's after I can capture all this mess my heart was after?
Will I end up empty-handed when I stand before my master?
Did I master the mathematics of a passive disaster?

Add in my selfish ambition
All the while, subtracting what matters
I don't know

At late nights, I can't sleep
Will I fall? Will I peep?

Through the curtains, all I see, fingers pointed at me
And they watching, and they watching
And I'm wondering what they thinking and thinking bout'
At late nights, I can't sleep
Counting cash, counting sheep

In high school, we tried to act all tough
I remember a couple times, I couldn't back that up
Like when I ran from them vetoes, scuffing up my sapatos
Scared of losing my high, I was so embarrassed inside
If I could go back in time, I would stand and say something like

I ain't never scared, never scared, never scared
I'm lying, I'm scared of these thoughts in my head
I'm scared of possibly pushing people right over the ledge
When I say I pledge allegiance to the struggle

Then, I turn around and buckle
Under stress and under pressure

Bible on my dresser that can teach my pain a lesson
But I rather not address it
Address that's in depression

I'm scared if I confess it
That you gonna' look at me like I'm something less
And I'm such a mess

And it just so happen, I'm wrestling with my status
I'm trying to see me like He do, not focusing on this madness

They count on me, count me out on a count of they fear and doubts
Keep account of my wrongs, trying to keep me inside they house

Some just keep me around, I wonder what that's about
Yeah! They wanna be politically correct, I suppose
But I'm comfortable in my skin

While they just pretending they clothes
I'm scared of falling and failing
In front of all of my foes

And I feel some friends are unfaithful
So, I keep my small circle closed
I don't want no handouts or favors, no functional saviors
I'm a tell that truth till it **** me

I'm chilling with my Creator
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus to all of my haters
For the ones that think I forgot him
And the ones who won't let me say
I ain't scared no mo'

Everybody always
have  has something to say rather you like it or not
But, don't take it to heart

LOVE
DC raw love Dec 2014
If I talk with the tongues of men and even of angels, but if I do not love people, then I am only like the sound of a big horn or a loud bell.

If I speak words from God, if I can understand all secrets, and know everything, if I can move mountains by believing, but if I do not love people, I am nothing, even though I can do all of these things.

If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not proud and does not boast.

Love does not do things that are not nice. Love does not just think of itself.

Love does not get angry. Love holds no wrong feelings in the heart.

Love is not glad when people do wrong things. But it is always glad when they do right.

Love forgives everything. Love is always trusting, and always hoping, and never gives up.

Love never ends. The gift of speaking words from God will end. The gift of speaking in different tongues or languages will stop. The gift of knowing many things will end.

Now we know only a little, and we can speak only a little of God's words.
But when everything becomes perfect, that part will come to an end.

When I was a child, I talked like a child. I understood like a child. I thought like a child. But when I became a man, I stopped doing things like a child.

Now it is like looking in a looking-glass which does not make things clear.

We cannot see and understand things plainly. But when things become perfect, then we shall fully know and understand everything, just as God knows.

These three things will remain for ever. They are faith, hope, and love. And love is the greatest of them.

Falling In Love
DC raw love Dec 2014
a night of passion,
from a girl I fell in love with

from the second I saw her,
a chased her for days

i finally met her,
i wined her and dined her

we made passionate love,
for hours upon hours

yet now she is gone,
and i can’t find her

i don’t know where to go,
as sickness sets in

so I go back to sleep,
to find her in my dreams

she was only a dream,
i have come to learn

so my days are spent sleeping,
to find that one dream

Controls Me
DC raw love Dec 2014
As my day begins, with the morning sun.

My day of adventures, has just now begun.

Through the city streets, the streets of pain.

With thoughts of pain, depression sets in.

Is this just my life or does my life have me.

With a needle in hand, there’s no dope man in sight

As sickness sets in and my mind starts to wonder

Why can’t I be set free, from this life of adventures,
that now controls me

I think of my life and that I want to be free

Is this my dream or does my dream have me

For in this world, no one knows me.

Nothing Else Matters
DC raw love Dec 2014
Can’t this be a fantasy
Caught in a landslide
Why can’t I escape reality

You’ve took my feelings inside
And turned them upside down
As I thought of my life without you

Remember the past
It went so fast
Is this because I loved you

The times I made you cry
Hurt me deep down inside
But do I don’t want to be without you

If I can’t keep you by my side
I can't live my life without you
Your the only thing that matters to me

Didn't mean to make you cry
As i look up to the skies to see
Sending shivers down my spine
My body's aching all the time

I hope it's not to late
To put this past behind

If I pull this trigger I’ll be dead
So love me or just leave me to dead
With these feelings inside

Why do you do this to me
Anyone can see
That nothing else matters to me

Today’s Protest
DC raw love Dec 2014
Strikes,
Protesting,
Demonstrations,

Civil Wars
Religious Wars

When does it stop

From the beginning of time
This world has always fought for it’s kind

Fighting for religion
Fighting for love
Fighting for land
Fighting for time
Fighting for man kind

The protest today is nothing new
It’s been going on forever
What should they do

Nothing will change
Just faces and places

It’s just a thing
That some people do

An Illusion
DC raw love Dec 2014
i don't see you
but i can feel you

from the times of our past
from the we have spent together

your in my thoughts and dreams
your always with me, as i miss you
your in my heart, so

i hear your voice always
but i still can not find you

our memories will never fade away
for i always see you in my dreams

only to know,
that you are only

an illusion in my mind

In The End
DC raw love Dec 2014
It starts with one

One thing I don't know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time

All I know

Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

It’s so unreal

Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside
and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to be
will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me

I’m surprised it got so far
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

Only One
DC raw love Dec 2014
If I could have only one
Which one would it be

The one that loves me
or
The one that hates me

The one that likes me
or
The one who love’s another

The one that knows me
or
The one that cry’s

The one that sells herself
or
The one that doesn’t care

The one that’s passionate
or
The one that cares

Life of Tomorrow
DC raw love Dec 2014
As the willow branches hang towards ground
As the dripping dew falls to the ground

As the morning mist settles upon the grass
The morning sunshine, will soon be the past

As our day begins, we now face life
Our life for the day, a life from the past

From a past of love
From a past of sorrow

Things behind us, as we think of tomorrow

Care for your loved ones, everyday
We can never predict the future
A loved one can always pass away

I say this with love, I don’t like sorrow
We can only live for our life
Our life of tomorrow

Castle of Make Believe

Our make believe life,
that we all have

A fun place to go,
with no misery

Come to order we say
and our new life begins

You have everything you want,
because it’s make believe

I got a new car
or
My team just one

So use your mind
And have some fun

I am now the ambassador
of love and peace

I am now a mean man
and no one can beat me

It’s our mind
That we can control

So go to your castle

Iris
DC raw love Dec 2014
I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

The Moment
DC raw love Dec 2014
as we close this chapter of yesterday
to start the new chapter of today
times of the moment have now slipped away


with the sights of new faces
and the sights of new places

the new things we learn
the things that drive us

the memories of the past, go by so fast
our brief memories, from our past history

the thing that we cast. are the things that last
the things we forget are the things that we miss

what the future has in store, is something I don’t know
we can only dream and take it slow

slow for the moment, the moment of time
as life goes by , one second at a time
DC raw love Dec 2014
These arms have held many relationships.
As my arms are scared from many.

As I look at my tracks,
they bring back memories.

A life of addiction and the love I had for it.
They knew no other only lonely and sad.

These arms did hold, real love many times.
As well as the heart aches,
which were my suffering times

These arms have built many walls.
That would let no one in.

These arms held many unfortunate lovers
and I broke many hearts
As mine was once done

Theses arms held beauty and joy,
from the love of others.
My family, my friends
the homeless and the sick

These arms have held death
Of people that I love
Of people that cared

These arms are now held high
High to god I now know
Reaching for a new life

A life of love and
a life of challenges

Why is life so hard ?

Why are people, so unforgiving ?

Why do we hurt, the ones we love ?

Why do we not learn from our mistakes?

Why has my life, become so un-manageable ?

Why do I keep doing the same things, over and over ?

Why do things keep gettting worse, then they already are ?

The Shadow
DC raw love Dec 2014
As a shadow drifts
Through the gloomy night

My heart beats with wonder
With crimson eyes

Tears flowing down my cheeks
As fear sets beside me

Bleeding from within
The shadow is upon me

As I clinch my teeth
Waiting to be struck

I collapse to my knees
As the shadow beats me
Within my dream

not knowing what to do
I no longer want to live or die

The top 10 Challenge
DC raw love Dec 2014
By far, I am not a poet
I was bored in prison
So I wrote about my life
About the people around me
In Florida you are guilty before proven innocent

I feel that poetry must come from your heart
You shouldn’t think about what you write
It should just flow to the paper
If it makes you feel better about yourself
That’s what counts

The intellectual words
The *******
The forming
Mean nothing
Unless your writing a book

I do have a few books that will be published
Called RAW POETRY

Go with your heart I say again
Go with your life
It’s about you and no other
We can only try to help others through our writings

Love you all

Hotel California
DC raw love Dec 2014
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Any time of year
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
Please bring me my wine
He said, We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling
The pink champagne on ice
she said, We are all just prisoners here, of our own device
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't **** the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like
But you can never leave! "

LOOKIN FOR HOPE
DC raw love Dec 2014
I’ve been traveling down this road
Looking for hope and no place to find it

I have the afternoon scope
Still looking for hope
And I think I can find it

With no place to go
With no signs of hope
I won’t give up trying

I have the night time blues
I can’t find any help
To find this 12 o’clock hope
But I’ll just keep trying

I got a few clues
To find this thing of hope
Without even trying

It was right in my face all the time
But I thought I had to buy it

i've given up hope
on the afternoon soaps
with a bottle of cold brew

is it any wonder I'm not crazy
is it any wonder I'm sane at all

well I'm so tired of losing
but I got all day to do it

i go out cruising but I've no place to go
and all night to get there

is it any wonder I'm not a criminal
is it any wonder I'm not in jail

too much time on my hands,
it's ticking away with my sanity
it's hard to believe such a calamity

well I'm a jet fuel genius
i can solve the world's problems
without even trying

i have dozens of friends
and the fun never ends
that is as long as I'm buying

is it any wonder i'm not the president
is it any wonder I'm null and void

is it any wonder that i've got
to much time on my hands

From that distant man
That hides on the sky

Who feel no sorrow

The blacks have been beaten
From the life that they know

Only to find happiness

It’s my home town

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Was my life a dream
From satin within
Did he guide me
And teach me his ways

I spit in his face
I hated his ways
I beat myself over
To lose his ways

God be with me
I know you are their
Give me a life
For I am now there

I have confessed my sins
Devil beware

My life is now new
Because my GOD
Realley cares
it took my 35 year

To Live Again
DC raw love Dec 2014
Should I eliminate my life
Should I take my life

Will I ever get it back
I sometimes wonder why

I have no fact
Things that drive me
Drive me insane

Never caring
Never feeling shame

Always hurting
With misery inside

Never thinking what to do
Wanting to change the past
To something good

Can I release this pain
Can I let it go
Can open my eyes

To live again

You got to love this one
DC raw love Dec 2014
what do you think about a poet who writes
about how depressed they are
about how lonly they are
about how heart broken they are

but yet has,
two kids
two dogs
a beautiful husband
drives a Lexus
goes to soccer pratice

has a very large checking account
forget their savings and retierment
thats beyond belief

eats caviar
has diamond ear rings
a rolex
travels
and lives a great life

whats up with that ****
this is true i've met one
DC raw love Dec 2014
as I sleep my days away
for the passion of the night

standing on the corner at midnight
trying to get my courage up

in the streets again
of the lonely nights

with losers and hustlers
were nothing is right

one old lady
looked sweet that night

with an ankle bracelet
that said, don’t be lonely tonight

as she winked at me
and drifted into the night

as my life has always been
lonely days and lonely nights

Katrina
DC raw love Dec 2014
with the sun hidden
by the pouring rain
with a small glimpse of sunshine
through the clouds of pain

with the winds of evictions
with falling trees
as the flood is upon us
from the breaking of a levee

as the clouds breakaway
in the darkness of night
with devastation upon us
during the morning light

with the smell of death
lingering through the air
people crying
looking for their dead

no place to go
no food or water to be had
no sign of help
we’d be better off dead

why does this have to be
why did it happen to me
why  doesn’t anyone care for me

left me with a shattered life
of anger flowing through my veins

A DAY IN MY LIFE
DC raw love Dec 2014
i saw her today at the reception
a glass of wine in her hand
i knew she would meet her connection
at her feet was a footloose man
she was practiced at the art of deception
i could tell by her blood-stained hands
as she winked at me and said take my hand
i’ll take you on a trip with the devil
so i then took her hand

i then went down to the demonstration
to get my fair share of abuse
singing, we're gonna vent our frustrations
into to the moonlight night
we played this game

with prescription in hand
i went down to the Chelsea drugstore
to get my prescription filled
i was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
a man that look pretty ill
we decided that we would have a soda
my favorite flavor, cherry red
i sung a song to Mr. Jimmy
and he said one word to me,
and that was "dead"

I then went home
to put myself to bed
could find the pills I had
turned on the tv, to find nothing on
as my life has always been
pretty percular
i live my life
with bleeding pain

Lost Talent
DC raw love Dec 2014
it’s not right
as someone drifts
into the fiery night

with blood on our hands
from their veins within
as the rush in their head
leaves them dead

as they fall victim
to the only beast they know
named, a narcotic charm

beautiful people
with beautiful ways

touching souls
giving us meaning
through their music

don’t look down on them  
as they all loved you

you made their life
from a dream they had

they were lonely souls
not understood
not ever to their self

they were looking for help
but no one understood their music

screaming out loud
telling their stories

how their life has become
hoping for help

why, why, why
do we have to lose
a life of talent this way
Note: look for my first poem
“forgotten but appreciated”
this is my 2nd tribute to them, “lost talent”

King Of Pain
DC raw love Dec 2014
there's a little black spot on the sun today
it's the same old thing as yesterday

there's a black cat caught in a high tree top
there's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

i have stood here before in the pouring rain
with the world turning circles running round my brain

i guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
but it's my destiny to be the king of pain

there's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
there's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall

there's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
there's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

there's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
there's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt

there's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
there's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

there's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
there's a black-winged gull with a broken back

but it's my destiny to be the king of pain
