One life and beating heart.
sun on my scalp
concrete beneath my feet
the faint scent of diesel smoke
clings to my shirt
my shirt clings to me in the scorching heat

Fresh off a southbound train i walk towards the sounds
of a nearby town
i near a road with traffic zipping by
and step over the guardrail.

i let out a relieving sigh
its so good to see cars and other people

when a few hours prior i called a boxcar,home
23 hrs crawling thru the desert heat

i now unloaded my pack
knelt down
and kissed the street
Lady Francis May 2014
I love New York streets
The sound of speakers pumping beats
Is oh so sweet

Skyscrapers reach for the clouds
and then the stars at night
A canvas speckled
with neon lights

Sirens blare from far away
And traffic never slows
Cars fill the streets
No matter where you go

So many cultures in one place
But still people only care
About race

Cats howl and hiss
In an alley stinking
Of human ****

Thousands of empty apartments
Laying in wait
But the homeless stay homeless
And they call it fate

High fashion
Low self worth

Taxis, bodegas, newsstands, and fruit stands galore
We are 8 million strong and still
Growing more

Hustlers hustle any hours
Crackheads fiend in the streets
for months without a shower

Nodding out junkies sway
Almost falling down
All beautiful, *****, loud and bright
Things make up my town

So chaotic
But all seems to work
This is what it's like
It's why

I love New York

He sits on a stool in the far corner of the bar
stirring his whiskey sour.

Finally he feels the warm buzz he's been
chasing for hours.

"She's probably with him right now",he mumbles
to himself.

His eyes fix on an aged bottle of scotch up
on the top shelf.

The drink won't rinse away the dirt going
on in his life

Nor rekindle the undying love he once felt
from his wife.

Twenty two years,three kids,and one dog

He hangs his head over the glass and
wonders what went wrong.

Closing time was creeping up slow

He orders one more shot before
its time to go.

The jukebox plays a soft country song

He downs the last drops,grabs his coat
and he's gone.

Where's he gonna go though?

He can't go home

He knows he'd **** them both
if he caught them alone.

The buzz is too strong for him to drive
but still he starts his car.

He thinks He'll be alright, a friend doesn't
live too far.

Rain pours down out of nowhere,he squints
and struggles to see.

It stops as quickly as it started and its as
clear as can be.

But It's too late .He puts his hands
over his eyes

His car crashes head on with another
and smoke fills the skies


She let's her "secret" lover out the back door and waits for her husband to come home

But little does she know she'll be spending
the night and maybe the rest of her life ...

Alone
Lady Francis Feb 2014
Twenty billion stars and not one shines
brighter than your eyes

We are so high on these smoke clouds
that no one could pull us from these skies

We slow dance past the sun
till we are soaked in sweat

Ascend towards the heavens from a life
with no regrets

Your fingers tangle in my hair
that flows like liquid onyx
Your lips hug my mouth
when you lay a kiss upon it

Our love is the envy of many
alone on this day

We cherish our bonded hearts
that shall never stray
Lady Francis Feb 2014
Full of **** to the brim

Understand how I feel within

Can't you see I've had enough

**** the attitude you aim at me

Each time you insult it hurts deeply

Don't tell me you love me so much,
   cuz the way you treat me is

       ******!
Lady Francis Jan 2014
It was all a scam!

Avonte knew that man!

Autistic children don't trust strangers
or run into their hands

This was an innocent child sacrificed
to put a multi million dollar program in place

They knew what they were doing
as they wallpapered the city with his face

A boys life was lost

He never had clue what he did wrong

Now the evil ones are lining  their pockets

And Avonte's dead and gone!
