Clear lonely Snow-
Only seconds to know-
How will you go-
I hope it doesn’t hurt-
I hope its peaceful-
As you so deserve-
I hope you find that eternal sunshine-
Your memories create a fantastic illusion-
Like you’re sitting next me again and were just cruising-
Laughing as we talk-Squinting as we walk-
Flocked around the ocean-
Swimming in mass emotion-
In the eternal stream-
You are reachable by dreams-
Your reflection is now in my eyes-
Your laughter now in my cries-

No more what I can say-
So confused-
On this wretched day-

As you lay on my bed-
Pillow under your head-
I look at you in amazement with every single breath-

Dear Wife-
Allow me to express the love I have for you deep in my chest-
Years have passed but you still give me butterflies-
Tie my stomach in knots when I look in your eyes-
Your smile it lights-up-my life-
Your presence lights up my nights-
Your skin is still as soft-your voice is still as cute-
After these last few years I think I am more in love with you-
You’re an amazing Mother, and a wonderful friend, a beautiful women and my girl till the end!

Embrace by the voices that plague this very weary soul-
Tidal waves of existence-Drowning in complete sorrow-
Reach for the heaven-allow the glory behold-
Smile for the fakes-continue to mask it with goals-
In the stomach of knots lays a treasure of trove-
Where heartless beats-bop-never to stop cries of the cold-
Truth be told all the stories of how you withered a fold-
Deep in your breath you weathered a storm-
The age of the ageless contented the norm-
Rock a buy a lullaby-dreams of being grown-
Home to the distance-Vacant to the throne-
Thorn in the needle-Needlessly torn-
Home is the distance-Distantly shown-
Awake for your existence-un-exultantly known-
Embodied by the voices-the plague-you delicately call your own-

Richard “Ab7e Poet” Itskovich

Step in the room, clouded by remorse-
Living in virtue, as a monetary *****-
Grind till you can’t shine-
Anymore-
Till your soul is soaked with weary-
And the theory doesn’t mean-
Much more-
Wake up and follow the footsteps of all those who failed before you-
Pretend what you’re doing means something to you-
Cause at the end of the day when your laying in your grave-
Your going to ask why you just let time slip away-
Why you worked so hard till you turned bitter and grey-
Why you followed the fold cause there wasn’t much more you could say-
We all do it, they took us by the neck-
Made paper a value-40 plus hours of regret-
And I bet, nothing will change-
Generations will comply to do all the same things-
Work till their fingers are bones-
Till they receive more debt just to own a home-
And grow with the same type of disappointment as the ones before-
Capitalistic disappointment creeps into the pores-
Chores-are as follow-work, work, work-
Don’t break the mold-physically healthy mentally hurt-
Vent now son before its all to late-remorse clouds this room-
Hate guards the gate-
Welcome to the red, white, and blue fate-

WAITING-

Death to a man who spits with rage-
Hand of a demon words on a page-
Killer and profit all mixed into one-
Profit and poet hung up and high strung-
Pictures of paradise lie to my eyes-
Truth be told the lie was in her thighs-
Flirting with temptation-before sin sets in-
Pray to the Lord-Devil has a grin-
Alone in the desert-with rattle snakes at my feet-
Kicking up dust-to the same old beat-
Answer the door-hoping opportunity’s there-
Chase for the cheddar time to beware-
The hunt has been on since the dawn of all time-
Beating and beating till I beat out a rhyme-
Put my feet on the pavement-Walk with some pride-
Put my hand on my piece the pen is the prize-
Alone in the cold shaking and praying-
I’m knocking on opportunity’s door-**** all the waiting-

Richard A. Itskovich

Walk
Dear Mr. President-
I think it’s time we talk-
See I walk in that same stilled motion-
Engraved in my soul-Sir-is the same old theory notion-
Handed a dripping blood star spangled rag of devotion-
I hear the anthem play as I make way through this sandy ocean-
Yet I have compromised for the life that I have chosen-
Sir-
I am frozen-
Stuck among the simple brainwashed component-
Wondering where home went-
And they say home is where the heart is-
But what if the heart has left home-
Then it’s been condoned-and postponed at the emotion that should have been so home grown-
Yet I am so alone-
I’m surrounded by thousands of drones-Moving in illusions to the beat of contemporary confusions is leaving the stink of retribution and the contusion on the spirit of this institution Keeps proving while correspondents are continuously reviewing the inability to honor the constitution-
So with all due respect-sir-what the hell are we doing-?
I am losing my G-d **** mind-While patient politicians predict the estimated time-
And in the mean time-Bullets fly by brittle bodies-Rotting minds wait for mind-full plotting-Knowing knowledge knocks simple logic-And it is chronic-
And I don’t mean the kind you smoke-But more so the kind that poke jokes by late night hosts-
So when the hell did is this war become a show?-
My soul it lays defeated-physically-mentally-and emotionally-depleted-
I am bleeding-
Needing a reason to keep on breathing-Dreaming of a moment when my mental torment becomes dormant-And I am no longer fending-but feeling-Kneeling-Screaming-Asking-
The Lord for a meaning-
These fatigues have me stressed and fatigued and this disease it seeps deep into my sleep-And I just creep hoping my weary feet don’t lead me to a concaved grave that bleeds-
As trails of remorse stream down my cheek-
I plead-
With you Mr. President please set precedence consider my wishes relevant I just want to go home to my residence where Corrupt Cooperate Capitalist no longer have this regiment-and the elements of peace sir have a higher percentage than that of the deceased-
See-
These dog tags come with body bags perfectly delivered in a neatly folded flag-And the fact remains Sir-it’s an endless game-Sir-we are trying to conquer a region we can’t maintain-Sir-So I ask you to refrain-are youth from being slain-Please-let wisdom reign-Indulge in peace not in pain-Please sir-go against the grain-in that stilled motion-I walk the same-
If you recall Sir-
I voted for change-

-Well should I-

How could something so beautiful become so dead and gone-?
How could such togetherness become such lonesome-?
What happened to our home huh-?
I have to ask?
We were once so handsome-
Something people wanted to be-
But last night you said you don’t want to live in misery-
Maybe the best choice is to become history-
My spirit is splintering-
Finding that deep dark I used to be,  the one I lost touch with in that sea of integrity-
And now he’s crawling infesting me -his dark death back into my chest
Walking-bowing my head-because I can’t stand the sight of my own breath-
There’s nothing left-I don’t know how much more I can say-
Should I come, should I go, should I leave, should I stay-?
Should I live, should I laugh, should I love, should I play-
Should I live to see the sun light of another day-
I want to hide from that wicked way-
Those rays-that glaze-my soul it strays-my eyes they blaze-
I yearn-I crave-to learn and make-the best out of this G-d forsaken day-

Who knows what you know-
Who knows what to say-
Who lives in your world-
Who do you count on to save-
Who will be there when it’s time to go-
Who will love you when you are just so low-
Who will help you-when you feel all is lost-
Who can guide you-
Who do you trust-
Who will smile-When the smiles are gone-
Who will dance-at the end of the song-
Who do you trust-with the last beat of your heart-
Who is you lightness-that aluminates the dark-
Who is the question-we all search to find-
Who is the love-that no longer leaves you blind-

Sign embrace the coldest name-
Share your thoughts-
Share your game-
Grow and go-
Live from fame-
Tame and torn-
Live in reign-
Rain on them-
Cold drip blood-
You are here to shed your love-
Leave them guilt-
No remorse-
Live- you would-
Holy ghost-
Sacred world-
Advice is on-
**** ‘em all-
Signed, the wise one-

WORDS-
I love you-
Such simple words-
I need you-
In this complex world-
Without you-
I’m only a man-
With you-
I am the king of my land-
You are the sun-
Shine bright and strong-
You are the melody-
My favorite song-
You are the mother-
Who loves our child-
You are my heart-
My life worth while-
I love you-

Love like life-
Heart like eyes-
Soul just feel-
Heal the wise-
Deep mind home-
Best unknown-
Known to grow-
Cold to Warm-

Yeah little dreamer-
Here we go again-
Lets sit at the mirror-
Lets  become friends-
No longer enemies-
Talking once more-
Friends to the written-
Divided we soar-
To all the huge clouds-
That share all our thoughts-
To divine intervention-
That share all our cost-
My stomach is hungry-
But food it don’t want-
Fear is too present-
Ambition I hunt-
No future when you front-
So just become you-
Learn to love what you got-
Only when it’s true-

WOMEN-
Your very presence sends chills through my core-
All this living and wanting-
Your all I have been hoping for-
Your bittersweet-in every sense of that word-
You’re my world-and your curves make the verbs so beautifully heard-
And I hear you girl-
I hear your every thought-your every need and if I don’t then I will proceed to achieve and be the man you need-
Because your love I consider divine and everyday I thank the stars that you are mine and I am yours-
I will love you till the ocean doesn’t touch the shores-
Till snow is no longer cold-till the warmth in my heart doesn’t beat anymore-
I will love you till lemons turn sweet-I will always strive to be the man you need!

Richard Itskovich

You, the best of me-

This here-Is to share my love-
You are my drug-
You melt me when we hug-
You are my Queen-
The girl of my dreams-
You-
Is what I need-
This is how I bleed-
Love is our destiny-
You-
Make the best of me-
Blessed beyond belief-
When I hold you-
I feel relief-
You are the only women for me-
