Shoot your shot
Maven Sep 2018
Can two broken hearts heal one another?       Can two that are lost, help each other be found? Can those torn down build one another?         Can the next teammate do more than rebounds? You lose your faith, you lose your sight. You try to find the strength to fight.                           You’re down by 1, just run the play. Be your hero, save your day.                                             Find your teammate, pass the rock.                     Let it go, shoot your shot.

The Dash
Maven Sep 2016
"The Dash"
Crawl before you walk                    
Listen before you speak                      
Think before you act                      
Practice what you preach.                      
From the day you are born            
To the day you know why                
Every man needs a code                  
Certain things to live by.                
When your body returns, to the earth it came                                    
As your soul smiles from heavens sky                                    
I pray you lived a full life                  
Not one which living, meant waiting to die.                                    
Will your name be forgotten?
Will your legacy last?              
How did you spend your time,
Between the dash?

Moments and Memories
Maven Sep 2016
One day, we will run out of time
Our story will end, a love sublime
What will they remember?

Until God calls us higher
We walked thru the fire
We danced in the rain
From January to December

Every heartbeat, every breath
Every new-life, every death
You helped me rise, stopped my fall
My heart was the dial, you answered the call
I will always remember

When words can no longer express
Actions no longer impress
Our history becomes my toughest opponent

I cherish the present
Thank God for the past
Creating more memories and moments

From now, until the end of time. Our stars will shine, we'll age like wine, and I promise to all the heavens; there will never be another love quite like mine.                                                    Love is a battlefield; mistrust and deception, pain, misdirection. We search for protection. We consistently, efficiently, misuse our greatest weapons.                                                                Let God be our shield, his love be our blade, and we will weave together to form the armor.                                                              Let faith light the path, thru the darkness ahead. We trust in each other, we won't be mislead.                                              From now, until the end of time

Another Unsolved Mystery
Maven Jul 2013
Lucifer calls my name and no matter how hard I try I cannot resist
He tells me about tonight's mission. That duct tape, gloves, and a butcher's knife will assist.
Tonight is going to be so much fun.

On the darkest night, on the most sinister mission
An intense lust for blood, complete human annihilation I envision
The Devil's Advocate, Yes, I am the one.

An open all night diner I found
On the east side of town
Two couples I spot enjoying their meal.

Excited I am
So! So! excited I am
I have discovered those, that tonight, I will ****.
Closing my eyes, I imagine the ****** and madness that will take place soon.

They finish their meals and leave in one car
Of course I followed them and they did not go far.
To an isolated cabin in the woods
Which for them, is not at all good.

I turn off my car, cut off my lights
Satan and I will bring death and destruction on this midsummer night
2 men, 2 women, who will put up the most fight?

While they are making love, into their room I sneak
Music they were playing. Brilliant! The other two will not hear their screams.
I let go and Lucifer takes control

The guy was on top, I pulled back his head
Then slit his throat, soon after he was dead.
The girl tried to scream, she fought for her life
Unfortunately she failed, her chest I stabbed twice.
2 down and 2 to go.

Deep in their sleep, they will never awake
Much more than their lives, their souls will I take.
My thirst for blood is almost satisfied, pure evil, Yes, I know

The newspaper read
Four college students dead
Their cabin burned to the ground.

Police have no leads, motive, witnesses, or suspects
How tragic, what a shame
Another unsolved Mystery

Bang Bang
Maven Jul 2013
ouble D's and no weave is what attracted me to you
Her eyeshadow and her Altima, both light shades of blue
It was love at first sight.

Eight seasons we dated, time flies so fast
Up until tonight, I believed our love would last
My end is near, Thank God, I want no memories of this night.

You told me you would never leave
This, I was so foolish to believe
I feel the heat of Satan's flames.

Our time on earth has come to an end
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend
With her last breath, she screams my name

Brown skin, red blood, not even in death did her beauty change.
Blue steel, broken hearts, two sounds, Bang Bang

Bedroom Window
Maven Jul 2013
It's late at night and she's all alone
Except for me, her secret admirer, watching her every move, through a window outside her home

She turns on some music, dances **** and slow
The best part of my day,I sit back and enjoy the show

I watch her undress and get ready for bed
She wants me to join her, she needs me to join her
Thoughts that race through my head

Her body calls out to me, my heart beats slow
One day she'll know how I feel. This, I certainly know

Infected with lust, drunk with passion
Tired of watching, time for action

With the best intentions, I approach her door
Nerves prevent me from knocking. I turn around, I can take, no more.

Next time I'll go through with it, I wont let fear stop me
I think I can, I know I can, I will, wait and see.

Until next time, it's back to the shadows, even in darkness does her beauty glow

Her Watchman forever, looking through.......her Bedroom Window

Here we go Again
Maven Jul 2013
She loves me, she loves me not
I cannot resist, I love her too.
Shes bad for me, so bad for me
Cant see happiness in our future, only tragedy.

Why even Try? To fall in love all over again
Watch her leave, feel my heart die.
But, every time I hear her voice, smell her perfume, touch her skin
I fall right back into that deadly trap.
Here we go again

I despise her for hurting me
Tell myself over & over
The more I hate, the harder I love
I cant wait to hold her

She is a part of me, the connecting strand to my double helix
If ever our love died, it would surely rise from the ashes, the most beautiful Phoenix.

The fire inside me burns as hot as the sun
Its best we don't get close. I warn her; leave, hide, run!!
I know she wont listen, she knows she wont listen,
We know she wont listen.

Love can be an amazing force
The power to create
The power to destroy
Passion & Pleasure
At the expense of others pain, good times we enjoy

Over & over again,
I tell myself, its possible for us to be “only” friends
She belongs to someone else
We're playing with fire
Will we burn in the end?
I give in, she gives in
The flame is ignited
Here we go again

House of Horrors
Maven Jul 2013
Blood on my hands, brains on my shirt
Two more victims, a mass grave, and plenty of dirt
Hidden behind, my House of Horrors

Only evil resides here, two stories of hell
Burning flesh, is there a more horrible smell?

Neighbors I have none, screams bring laughter to me
I once took out a woman's eyes, to see what women see........In me

My basement is a dungeon, guarded by demons
People always attempt to escape, they have plenty of reasons

I've tortured the good
I've murdered the bad
They're all buried together. So tragic, how sad?

Nobody is innocent, my knife spares none
Shooting kills too fast, rarely do I use guns

I found my next victim, it's three in the morning
I lust for her blood, never, have I been so *****

A conversation I start, her name is Chanel
I pray she is right with God. If not, she will soon awake in hell

As we approach my home, I imagine the slaughter
I open the door. Chanel, victim # 25, in my......House of Horrors

I Reign Supreme
Maven Jul 2013
My fathers are kings, what else could I be
King of the house, King of the streets
I reign supreme, even the grandest of kings, are but second to me

The heart of a warrior, the strength of a bear
The wisdom of Solomon, pure brilliance, how unfair
Magnificent, all I know how to be

Alexander was great, Leonidas's sacrifice, glorious
As for me, one word comes to mind, victorious
What more can I say

Blessed as I am, I am cursed the same
My heart often turns cold, wicked thoughts fill my brain
Internal conflict, day after day

Taking the good with the bad simply comes with being a King
Flaws and all negativity aside
I Reign Supreme

Its Over Now
Maven Jul 2013
The perfect man I'll never be, the more I try, the more I fail
Apologies for all mistakes, for Jen, Samantha, and Shantel.
Love you, Yes! I always have, never want to let you go
Nothing without you, Im Galileo, you're my telescope

The rumors, the lies, the smiles and the cries
The fights then the ***, were always the best
In the midst of my darkness, I saw glimpses of light
Before my sins were revealed, our future seemed bright

Cant stop from crying, tears on the page
Frustrated you're leaving, so filled with rage
Wont blame anyone but myself, and as I look upon the shelf
I see a picture of you and me, I grab your arm, you cannot leave!

Our eyes connect, I see your pain
Lightning flashes, heavy rain

I let you go, you let me know
You have to leave, must let me be
My heart is ripped right thru my chest
I cannot breathe, I cannot bleed

In the cold and all alone
I have a house, I had a home

If ever you return, you wont repeat
Those parting words, that haunt my dreams
A change for the better, begins now
The words that brought change.........Its Over Now

It Was All A Dream
Maven Jul 2013
boast, I brag, she loves my swagg, I am the best, there is none greater.
King of the bedroom and the dragon's lair, either way, call me the slayer.

Or call me hero, I'll save you mind, body, and soul
Don't fight me, you cant help it, it's okay to lose control.

My love runs deep and flows like the Nile
In my arms you feel secure, like a mother and her new born child
I touch your body in front of the mirror.

Then it's straight to the bed, so many ***** thoughts race through my head
We began the night of ecstasy.
With no sense of time, we bump and we grind
I just want, to keep you next to me.

Your eyes and your lips, your breast and your hips
The most beautiful body, I have ever seen.

But unfortunately, as we both ******, I open my eyes
It was all a dream.

In My Dreams
Maven Jul 2013
Light skinned, light eyes,
beautiful as she wants to be.
In my dreams, every night, I can feel her next to me.

Smile's perfect, curly hair
dressed to ****, all for me.
Great to kiss, soft to touch, I even watch her while she sleeps.

As soon as she awakes, the love that we make, may wake everyone else
But, it puts us right back to sleep.
In my dreams, every night, I can feel her on top of me.

She knows that she's ****, I love that she's thick
In my bed we make magic, I learn so many tricks

Unfortunately, after our show
I must let her go, cause in reality
She does not belong to me

So I patiently wait, until it gets late
cause as soon as I fall asleep.
We will have another wonderful performance, that night, In my dreams

If Tomorrow Never Comes
Maven Jul 2013
Live to love, love to live.
Each moment is a gift, God does not have to give
Listen to your heart, follow your dreams
Maintain faith, things are not always as bad as they seem
Run thru the fire, dance in the rain
Fight thru the struggles, pray thru the pain
Cant change the masses until you change one
Don't count on tomorrow, it may never come

Next Time
Maven Jul 2013
The setting of the sun causes out temperature to rise
Candle lit dinner, full moon in the sky
Music playing softly, toast to the weekend
What a night I have planned, surely, tomorrow we will sleep in
After dinner, I want you for dessert
Let me rub your body down, use my teeth to remove your skirt
Remove your shirt, massage your feet, kiss your succulent lips, then everything beneath
All before we get to the bedroom.....

I take your hand, our eyes connect
We walk to the room, what we do, we'll never forget
Rose petals on the floor, see our shadows on the wall
Love sounds we are making, screams echo thru the halls
Then I go deeper, you've been begging for that
Nails dig into my skin, scratches all over my back
Bite your lips then whisper into my ear
Bump bump bump bump, your heartbeat is all I am able to hear

Sometimes, when im inside of you, I feel like its a dream
The faces that you make, the greatest thing my eyes have seen
1 time, 2 times, 3 times, 4. *******, legs tremble, sheets soaked, more.....
Then we drop off into a coma like sleep
Not even Jacques Cousteau, could have dove so deep

In the morning you awake, breakfast on your plate, last night still on your mind
The secrets we keep, in secret we meet
Farewell for now, cant wait til next time

My Pleasant Princess
Maven Jul 2013
Everyday I think of you, you're always on my brain
Thunderstorms of thoughts in my head, it's time I made it rain

Before I leave, let it be known
Im so proud of you and how you have grown

These past few years we've gotten so close
Despite my many achievements and accomplishments, it's my job with you that I cherish the most.

Though I never told you, never let my feelings show
You are the brightest star in the sky, I shine brighter because of your glow

You know better than anybody, sentimental occasions are just not me
So I decided to show my love and appreciation through my magnificent poetry

So these are the realest words I ever wrote
For all the words I never spoke
For all the times I didnt show
I simply had to let you know

That I have always loved you and everyday I love you more
Cant wait to see what the good Lord has in store

I have said what I needed, it's back to business
Forever my shining star, my greatest achievement, my Pleasant Princess

My Obsession
Maven Jul 2013
Blood appears red, it is actually blue
Since a very young age, I have been obsessed with you.

You've cast a spell on me, the most potent of magic
Even introduced me to torture, so powerful, so tragic

Fighting is brilliant, killing is even better
Especially when bringing an end, to your fiercest competitor.

I desperately crave to see you, it drives me insane
Showers of red rain, welcome to pain

Al Capone knew you well, to Curtis Jackson, you are no stranger
Wherever you go, there always seems to be danger.

Im thinking of you now, and im sure I will later
Violence, my love, there is none greater.

ne day you'll love me, one day you'll understand
How hard I really tried, to be everything you needed in a man
You give and then you take away, hurt me in so many ways
All I did was love you more

You criticize, I fantasize
Was such an angel in my eyes
With black wings however...........Whatever

It took awhile but now I see
The lights are on, the lights are on
Now its clear what I have to be
The fight goes on, i've grown so strong

Staring in the eyes of my worst enemy, never have I know him better
As im staring down the reflection of me, realize I must do better

The Infected
Maven Jul 2013
Sick in the body
Sick in the head
Sick beyond repair, no treatments, no meds

Thirsty for flesh, hungry for pain
Clouds of insanity, death storms in my brain

Bite, Stab, Slash, and ****
Destroying family after family
No remorse for our skills

Frightening screams, as we invade your homes
Horrifying looks, as we break more and more bones

No reasons for our attacks, survivors we leave none
Scream as loud as you want, who will help you?
Three choices: Fight,Run, or be Done

Run they do, hide they try
Successfully? No!
Eventually all die

Sick in our body
Sick in our head
Sick beyond repair, no treatments,no meds
We are......The Infected

Symphony
Maven Jul 2013
November 7th is the date, I'm ready for the show
Step into my room, close the door, and turn the lights down low.

The performance we put on, so grand it should be a felony
I listen to her heartbeat, it supplies the melody

After she undresses, I play her body like piano keys
Start off playing fast then the tempo changes slowly

I'll be the conductor, wont stop until the morning sun
Also, the lead percussionist,beating passionately on her drum

Beautiful harmonies we create, even Beethoven would envy
Love sounds of the century, we are only just beginning

Sounds of her breathing,Wonderful! Like finely tuned violins
So long since my last performance, I never want this night to end

Stormy weather compliments, thunder and lightning intensify
Emotions over melody, tears falling down her eyes

Our show last for hours, my shirt soaked in sweat
As for her, one word says it all.....Wet

Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles as we reach our ******
I'm exhausted and relieved. We take a bow, cuddle, and relax

Now it's time for us to sleep
We thank our fans for listening
I really hope they all enjoyed
The music from our Symphony

Put your Gun Away
Maven Jul 2013
Trust is the issue, a mountain we must move
Past relationships were rocky, hope ours can be smooth.
Delicates as a flower, yet tougher than the finest leather
Used to the rain, its time for different weather.

Ready to give you my all, but you're not ready at all
Like the city of Jericho, I must knock down your walls.
I don't want to control you, I just want to console you
Im not trying to change you, just want to rename you.

Faith, is the confidence to believe in things you cannot see.
Yours was lost a long time ago, just trying to make you believe.
Maybe I never should have gotten involved
With a woman whose been broken down and has been through it all.

Maybe, it was destined that we meet each other
After all, there is so much that we can teach each other
Maybe, this is all some part of a dream
When will I awake, what does it all mean?

One day you'll recover, soon enough you'll be fine
Wish I could give you my heart, but you're not ready
So i'll just give you my effort, as well as my time.

I'll never leave you, is a promise I wont make
However, I do promise, that I will always try to stay.

Sometimes progress can be a slow process
In our case, we take things day by day.
With a heart so heavily guarded, sometimes I wonder
Will you ever put your gun away?

Words to Live By
Maven Jul 2013
Each day is a surprise
Everyday we're a little closer, to our demise
We live, laugh, love, and cry
Sometimes holding on, when we should be saying bye
Succeed in the present
Reflect on the past
Prepare for the future
Tough times you'll outlast
It starts with a dream
Then morphs to a vision
The journey is what matters
This is only the beginning

The Beginning of Forever
Maven Jul 2013
The fire is extinguished, the rain has dried
The wounds have healed, still I survive.
The passion remains, the missions the same
Success, is what I strive to attain.
Each day I grow older
Each task makes me colder
Every negative comment widens the chip on my shoulder.
To those that ignore me, those that won't listen
Forever ill haunt you, this is only the beginning.

Why
Maven Jul 2013
Why
Im feeling invincible
Been feeling untouchable
My heart is invisible
My actions unlovable
Why?Why?Why?

No ups, many downs
Never smile, constant frowns
In seas of loneliness I drown
Screaming for help, hear no sound
Die!Die!Die!

Hearts we break, hearts we take
Actions are real, words are fake.
Do we ever stop to listen
Think before we make decisions?
Selfish goals that we envision
Trapped inside emotional prisons
Cry!Cry!Cry!

Living is hard
Loving is harder
We think with our hearts
We have to be smarter
Try!Try!Try!

Why try to be strong, when you can cry?
Why fight to live, its easier to die?
Why give one your trust, why give love a try?
Why?Why?Why?.........WHY?

Run
Maven Jul 2013
Run
Life is cruel, the world is cold
The older she gets, the more she knows
Filled with hate, fueled by rage
Doesn't imagine some romantic end to her story, just wishes to turn the page
Nobody to love her, nobody cares, no support groups
No stories to share.

Yes, we judge her. Yes, we reject. Yes, we turn our backs.
We also don't respect
But, how can we judge her, to know is to love her.
Still, we could care less, shes no different than the rest.
Tired of wandering this world alone.
With no place to go, no place to call home
Darkness possesses her, no sign of the sun
She does all she believes she can....Run

She runs away, from the darkness of night
She runs because, shes lost the strength and will to fight
She runs because, although she longs for love, you would never receive her
She runs because, even if she shared with you her story, you would never believe her
She runs because of me, she runs because of you
She runs because, its not about what we say, its about what we do
She is a part of me, she is a part of you
Yes! We feel for her, but what will we do?

Stickup
Maven Jul 2013
Love can be criminal
Searching for it in a world full of cynical
Men & women who, live in this fictional
Delusions of grandeur, check the subliminal
Lock your heart inside the vault of your ribs bank
Protect your feelings like the guards of an armored truck
Have you seeing stars, like you've earned rank
Remain calm, this is a stick-up

— The End —
