I try to escape from the rhymes
But they find me between the lines
Words jump out from conversations
My trigger to articulated aspirations
I promise them a new sentence
Some agree with reluctance
While you are building castles
I'm writing down time capsules

As easily as the sun sets every day
I wish I could break away
From you who are holding me prisoner
From you who promised me happy-ever-after
The gold has finally faded
and I now feel jaded  
I believed by staying I was strong
but now I know I’m so wrong
I need that first step
that’s the only way I’m going up
By leaving you behind
Banish you from my mind
Remove you from my heart
A new life I’ll start

We’re told we don’t fit
What do they know
but a lil bit?
From where we sit
You and I know it
We’re in it
‘til the last spit

i float in the air
and let loose my hair
every time you stare
like i'm the prettiest mare
you have in your lair

My mind made to  quiver, nerve endings shiver.
From the sliver of pleasure your lips deliver.

Legs go weak as I take a peak.
At the thing called fondness of your warmness.

Passion ablaze like the brightest of fashion.
Only to despair at the lack of air.

Apart our lips depart.
Her eyes so deep my heart takes a leap.

In conceit we decide to repeat.
kissing if you couldn’t guess

I tried to write the truest sentence that I know about you
But my words could only be unkind,
To hide you from my darkest ink
Is to chose you over the truth
To leave unspoken words behind.

I will protect you deep inside my heart
For you have built a fortress that lasted the rough tides,
But if you stray out to face the unholy rhymes
I am powerless in these darkest of times.

I'll pluck these flowers,
Petal by petal.
I'll slowly remove them,
From all my stems.
Each I'll say goodbye.
Each a loss of Hi's.
One by one I'll piece a puzzle,
Out from my head and into the puddle.
Each piece from my memory.
Slowly I drift into reverie.
I'll never remember then,
those times with dents.
Until all is plucked,
then I'll be in bliss.
Yet here's a whisper,
"Au revoir, ami."

Another day in a chaotic world.
Sins spinning, volcanic eruptions of twisters invariably twisting
Heated emotions sweating,
perspirering,
I'm ice in humidity, I'm losing my cool.

I was tapping out rhymes
           While in the womb.
Best selling records
Before  I was even born.

You were just a mistaken
£5, £20 Hook up. £20 was so they
Didn't pull out. The £5 was
To brush the teeth as breath
          Smelt like **** ate out.

But mistakenly you were
       Here. And you didn't know
Ya dad. My family was tight.

Now I know it's not your fault,
  But your rhymes are as loose
                 As what you fell out.

I sell words, while you sell
Out. But not in the sense of
Big seller more you couldn't
Sell water,  even if there
                      was a drought.

Me I have family, I've got fans.
My rhymes give observation
                    Of real life's times.


You copy others ideas, but
Your rhymes choke out.

   If I was a Picasso then
You were the crayon drawing
That a three year old drew out.

Now I know you want to rise
Above your past, but you and me.
I'm the sun my words are the moon.
And when we come together you
  My boy were eclipsed out.

You choosing not to stay
made me find my way
