It was a joke
he didn’t mean to lift his hand
he didn’t mean to bring it down

he didn’t mean to raise it a second time
he didn’t mean to commit a second crime.

He didn’t mean it.

But if everyone got pardoned
for the things they said and did without meaning,
everyone would hit
and no one would mean it.
Again, actions speak louder than words, and ironically, that is because you can't say them.
Trust the first fist,
not the apology that comes after when the deed is already done.

You confuse karate with love.
You punch, kick, and block.
You master the form,
Practice and practice.
You remember the creed.
Karate is not love.
You don’t kickstart the heart,
You can’t block love out,
Or punch it into submission.

I confuse love with poetry.
I read, write, and dream.
I master the edict of the pen,
Recite and recite.
I remember the sonnets.
Poetry is not love.
You don’t stanza the heart,
You can’t make a metaphor out of love,
Or personify it into breathing.

When will we learn?
When will you stop kicking Cupid?
When will I stop serenading him?
When will we stop this silly interpretation of love?

I don’t know,
But I’ll stop if you stop too.
I try to make your place
in my overweight heart
as small as possible

and yet

you punched your way
through my chest
with only two words

(my angel)

No more tears for me.
Rap and punching
Pain is my new relief.

Remember kids, ****** is never the answer. ****** is, of course, the question. And the answer is yes.

Remember kids, if you ever stab someone, punch them where you're gonna stab. They'll think you punched really hard, they won't realised you stabbed them.
A "poem" every day.
C 'est au coeur du punch
Que je vois le reflet de ton infidèle image
C 'est au fond du calice trouble
De pulpe de citron vert écrasé
Et de sirop de batterie
Que je vois enfin le reflet de ton infidèle image.

C'est une image qui tourbillonne
Comme un aiguillon kaléidoscopique
Car tu es cent et un oiseaux orange
A la fois dans la charmille.

Une image, que dis-je, un flot d'images
Secrètes et sourdes qui t'exhibent
Au goutte à goutte
Des lèvres au gosier
Et du gosier au cerveau.

C'est à cinquante-cinq degrés
Dans le coeur de chauffe du rhum blanc
Cent pour cent agricole
Que ton souvenir me vampirise
De ses poèmes lubriques
Et que j'offre mon cou et ma nuque à ta morsure
Douce, nue et sincère,
et à tes griffes amères comme le schrubb !
