Paintings of the dead,
organized by hue and shade,
grouped by color,
in all different arrays.

Alphabetized,
books stacked on a shelf.
Blank pages,
read aloud to oneself.

If you shed a light,
on the synchronized,
human lives,
we are living,
you will see we are all one being.

Dead bodies aligned,
in a mile long row,
how those people died,
nobody seems to know.

Flowers in a field,
pushing through the soil,
crushed under the weight,
of drills drilling for oil.

If you shed a light,
on the synchronized,
human lives,
we are living,
you will see we are all one being.

Waves crash softly,
into a weathered shore,
only to recede and repeat,
dragging sea shells to the ocean floor.

If you shed a light,
on the synchronized,
human lives,
we are living,
you will see we are all one being.

The weight of the world,
rests on the shoulders of man.
And trust me, I know,
we're doing all we can.

its all fun and games until someone gets hurt that explains this distance between you and I My eyes could never leave your side but besides that I was all yours Enamored like a high school love A curse and a blessing from above A twisted person with selfish intention Intervention; I thought we knew what it meant to be happy and i couldn't see a future without you Now you're something I need to fix, a loose *****

Positively negative
Innocently devilish
Living on edge
Far away
Yet way to close
Dont approach
Fear for my walls shatter
Guard collapsed
Malignant thorns appear
Defense mechanism breached
Negatively positive
Innocence burned
Bridges turn to ash
To far to approach
Fear to be turned down
Falling first love
Standing strong man
Taking offense
MInd my manners
Rude gestures  awake inside
If i said id never fall in love
Then i surely must've lied
Lying down my pride
Gasping at nails in his side
My lord you've seen it all
Saw a good man rise
After the devil
Commanded him to fall
Cheeks pressed
Gainst erratic beating heart
Breath on *****
Love mother
Love child
Said you'd come back
You left awhile

So close
To far away
Not heading tomorrow
Not leaving today
Always going to be around
Never there when you call
Left in the spring
Missed out in the fall
Never big enough
Always to tall
Had to let you know
I'd always pick you up
If ever you were to fall

Soft as cotton
Hard as rocks
Sweet  honey
Prowling fox
Tight  clothes
Messy  hair
A game played unfair
Biting like bats
Bruising like fights
Cold days for the warm nights
Cursing sailors
Your boat in my sea
Crazy things
Behind closed doors
Just you and me

Grass before flowers
Blooming in spring
Awaiting the moment
To be king
To be king
Flowers after soil
Growing in dirt
Gasping for air
As if it hurt
To be king
To be king
Kneeling before God
After slaying demons
Claiming crown
To be king
To be king
Spat up
Swallowed down
Swimming pond
Drowning man
To be king
To be king
Time and time again
Brothers betrayed
Sisters sacrificed
Went against mine own judgement
Took a queens advice
To be king
Take everything
Gave hell back
Rivers filled fire
Satanic attacks
To be king
To be king
Guest in a house
Of mine
Of mine
Whispers among friends
Woven lies
Sipped on
Like wine
Like wine
To be king
To take everything
Giving hell back
Awaiting my downfall
Upon knees i crawl
And lie
Gasping for air
If only God heard
My prayers
From a king to a king

If the moon
Was our son
Could the stars
Be our baby girl
If tonight
Was your last
Id pick up the Earth
To give you the world
Pray a prayer
Of innocence
That sin leaves us alone
Dropping seeds in my garden
To find a way back home
Mixing black
With white
Energizing spurts
Gray
Holding tight
Calming sea
Swayed
Please tell me
The moon is our son
As we consume our baby girl
Blood sweet to taste
Sticky as we touch
Sin is pleasure
In our world

The night will **** us
Days haunt
Coffin open
What more could slaves want
The waters will lead us
Wade wade
As the songs say
Drug my feet
I swung
Tiptoed over oak
Couldn't catch ground
The runaway
They've found
John told Annabelle
Who whispered truths to Sally
Shovel heavy
Hand
Pouring sand over
Covering man
Coffin open
How often slaves taunt
Spoke
To an essence
Molded from clay
Adam told Eve
Gardens where all should have stayed
Haulted
Feet fell to earth
Simply rethinking life
Death births
I swung
Couldn't catch ground
Tiptoed over oak
Wade wade
Rivers flowed
To heavens gates
Waited till sun down
Till the soul escaped
