I never stated this would be easy
You knew that coming in.
I guess, so did I,
But that never stopped me, did it?

We had a couple of close calls, didn't we?
Some scares of raising children,
Roles changing
Split-second life changes

Pleasure guided me,
I'm assuming you fell victim too
You never told me to cover up
We hid behind pills

Too many nights, with too many
Hands doing too many things
I allowed you to cover me,
As you allowed me inside of you
Cold sweat, but hot bodies
Intertwined
Pushing towards
Pulling Away

Rhythms

Silence was often the name of the game
But the nights where silence was an unknown
Were the best nights
I'm sure you agree

There are days where I really regret what we did
I stare at the sky, wondering, if you stare at it too,
If you think the same thing.

Hello to the Tin Man
Said the body of various organs

Warriors sit in fields of fire
Braving heat, metal, and fury
Kneeling in the battlefield
Swords to stomachs
Bullets to brain cavities
God Bless America

Unpatriotic
God Bless the World
What's so **** special about the U.S.
We have freedom,
That's well and good
But why can't we wish for blessing
Across humanity

Avoid warriors in fields of fire
Stop braving heat, metal, and fury
Don't take a knee in the battlefield
Don't even approach it
Put down the Sword
The bullet can be unspent
Thank you soldiers for the fight for freedom,
But God Bless Everyone
Not just the winners
Not just the losers

The Tin Man's bent to hell
He's seen too much
This body of organs
Would like to stay intact
But the saving of the soul(s)
Is far more important
This is a poem regarding a hodge-podge of ideas that I've had recently. I hope I've appropriately spelled out my thoughts to a place where they'll make sense.

Anatomy
An-at-oh-mee
Will you make a friend with me?

Curves and hairs
And you-know-wheres
Lips and tips
Of fingers
Linger

Kisses from misses
And dangers from strangers
What clothes can hide

Familial and not
Familiar and never-known
Embraces
Bright faces
And moods to go along

Anatomy
Anatomy
Great, beautiful anatomy
Sculpted in clay
Finer than diamonds

When life is up,
To the ground with thee,
Anatomy
From dust
To dust

I am happy for mutual understanding, thankfully not mutual destruction

Fly me
Freakin'
Throw me into the sky
Let me drift on the winds
Like a lofty kite

Dr. Do-No-Wrong
Stop touching my inappropriates

I'm sick of the Ferry
The rocking of the boat
Makes the water seems soothing

Explosions?
Destruction
Fallacy

Erectile disfunction
Welcome to
*Unsatisfactory

The stars,
****, the stars

I look at them,
From within this suit
In the envelop of space
Outside the atmosphere
Of the place I call home
Attached to the ship
Allowing me to roam

I walk across the nothingness
Looking at the vast beauties
I'm so insignificant

So

Incredibly

Small

Attached to this ship
In which I roam through space
Within this suit
I see these stars

So Insignificant

The crew should not have
Let me out
Repairs are what I should be doing
Healing the vessel in which we travel

But I'm so small

I'd rather just take my helmet off
The helmet

Off

My brains can join the stars

Allow me
For a moment
To run my face along the keys

Listening to hip-hop
It's the mainstream poetry
Spoken word to beat
Bring the anger,
The fury
The feelings
Expressions

But make sure it's ****
God forbid
If it's not ****, it's pathetic,
Right?
Wrong.
Well, for me.

Bring me emotions
All colors
Bring me depth of spirit
Dark and light
Bring me truth
I want to see the world in your
perpective.

Bring me music,
Of all kinds
Just know that now,
Hip-hop is keeping me busy.
