i can feel my hear beat for you drugs have gotten the best of me laying in bed with you is as lonely as my nights alone its borderline if not pathetic how many times i pick up the phone they say 'no answer is an answer' but it isn't fair your're so emotionless so maybe i'm not that hard to miss there's a line in a song that says "broken hearts are made for two" and it kinda reminded me of me and you i wonder if you remember things as vividly as i do funny that it's always been all about you from the start i would've never responded if I knew **** would get this far gone so far gone cause i remember lying on your chest listening to the rhythm of your heart, but you'd never notice that –  and that's what will always set us apart

so far gone
squelched between bodies spiralling into escalators, my trained eye couldn't help hovering a little left right there, coming into view at the watch store, though never caught dead anywhere near M·A·C but neither should my stares, blatant without restraint, fixed on a trio chattering like keys jangling to the beat of a million other stolen glances, only for them to slip away for some froyo. rather than melt into a fruity confection myself, I steel my eyes back into the spiralling masses blocking out three gym bags marked 'WATER POLO', my untrained heart pulses still for their suntan and the bleachers of yesterday, the sight and sweat, jocks jangling for position in glistening waters — only then did I dare scream my lungs out, safe in the crowds of a high school roar.

Set I You know that people will change As feelings start to fade away Lovers seem to drift astray Chemistry is so strange Friends swords are double-edged Never thought a bond could be staged Even if the Sun failed to stay You need to know that I'm on a wave I wish I was everywhere and hard to find You want a man; I'm one of a kind Around you, I'm so unprepared I catch myself sounding what's not shared Starting a new chapter composes fear I'm still where I was last year Meanwhile, we're talking it out And you sustain my attention throughout I walk you back to your haven We stagger to be on our way without saying Seems like you want me to linger I hope you can endure a cruel winter

Nick was a lost boy With a whispering heart He held proper Victorian sadness Until his public strength bowed As it does with the artistic type His soul beating modal And his mask of gilded paper mache With glue dripping and drying to fragile dreams He needed to get back to the pastures of Tanworth Yet London had other ideas And his stiff upper lip cracked He was a poet, you see Who danced with trees... And everyone knows Butterflies don't ride bikes Though that would be beautiful To see one on a banana seat Sailing down a country lane... Alas, butterflies can simply fly away if a bike objects And feel no pain But Nick was hurt as he fell to the ground His sickly hunched posture told of a great weight Shoulders struggled to shepherd the world With only Flower his power And Pen his staff Sadness met the River Man And the River Man broke down Poor, the fame of falling poets Rich, the earth’s garden of toiled words Caked under soiled writers nails A headstone, "Now we rise And we are everywhere" His tailwind to us Go and look at what our fellow poets eyes do see And bid hello to another artist’s soul on parade For, as with you, they too are simply lost And desperate for a garden to share and grow © 2019 MJL

#15 | Heartbreak in Hatfield I took the bus from the CBD all the way to Hatfield just to free my mind and receive closure from you. Let’s vibe out and listen to our favourite songs by Drake and reminisce about the love that we’ll never get back. How long can I keep holding on when all this pain becomes a reflection of everything that’s bound to go wrong? Was I not deserving of the kind of love and happiness that I had consistently given to you? I yearn for a reality worth dreaming about, but lately my heart has been paralysed by doubt. Time is expensive like a Richard Mille watch but every minute I spent with you was worth it. When my blue skies fade to grey, I listen to songs by The Weeknd and reminisce about you every single day. I took the bus from the CBD all the way to Hatfield just to free my mind and receive closure from you. Now I spend my days listening to sad songs while reminiscing about the love that I’ll never get back. These words are proof that I’m still recovering from the heartbreak I once felt a while ago in Hatfield.

***** bottles and a song by drake
Who cares who shot JFK I wanna know who shot Tupac, who cares about the CIA's JFK Files release date, it’s 2017 and I’m on a plane watching All Eyez On Me, flying westbound outta the Westside of LA, on All Hallow’s Eve and it’s all feeling kinda spooky, because I’m on this plane with another Libra The Boy Drake, and I don’t care who shot JFK, I want to know who shot Tupac, met Suge two times and got the feeling he didn’t, plus when they hit Pac even Suge got two shots, so who shot Tupac, as I write with all I’ve got, in red ink as my red eyes blink, pen lines looking like blood drops, all eyes on me, until my eternal slumber, but enough about the words, what about the numbers, 75 million albums sold, 713 songs, 7 films that’s 777, same as the title of the latest book I put out, seems Tupac and I, share a mutual obsession with the #7, plus his last album Killuminati was subtitled 7 Day Theory, not to mention the fact that Pac was shot on September 7th, as I trace the early similarities, between me and Tupac, I think back to when I almost signed with Suge, and I too feel like Tupac, I too was raised in New York, I too got put on in LA, I too almost lost my soul in Vegas, I too am both profane and a saint, I too feel confused and conflicted, I too both sin and pray, I too write with a sense of urgency, because I too know tomorrow isn’t promised today, I too have found my street instincts to be risky, I too have gotten it on at the Luxor, I too know there’s a thin line, between Love & Hate and between Enemies & Lovers, trapped between over the top celebrities, and detectives undercover, and I’ll a pirate sailor sailing high, but still I have to fight from going over, oh Lord, forgive me for I know not what I do, and maybe the reason I feel guilty, is because I waste my gifts on **** and ***** choose, your own adventure, lost, caught up in the trap that’s why they call it a trap, winnin’ till when that window rolls down and you don’t know, if it’s gonna be a gun shot or a camera snap, I know what’s coming even though I don’t know when, signing my own death certificate, like Pac signing to Death Row, see he thought he was just giving Suge his Music, but really what he was giving him was his soul, nobody know when they’re gonna go, we’re at the table at the Last Supper till they pull our card, which I guess is sickeningly befitting, considering Tupac was shot in Vegas on Las Vegas Blvd., and all that’s left of him, is this movie that I watch on this plane, and what’s happened to our music, lost Tupac and gained Drake, and that’s not a shot at Drake, I mean Drake’s cool, I’m flying with him to Australia, but Drake doesn’t have Tupac’s soul, our music has been watered down, now Hip Hop sounds like Pop Rock, I mean how can you even compare, Hotline Bling to Keep Your Head Up, what the fck, how’d we go from Black Panther, to ***** cat, how’d we go from I Ain’t Mad At Cha, to Best I Ever Had, and I’m not even mad, I mean I respect Drake for sure, he gets that money and has always been good to me, but Drake is no Tupac that’s for sure, but I won’t elaborate further because, we all know what happens when you ask too many questions, so I’ll just keep getting my money and writing my books, & keep going to church without admitting confessions, and I’m ending, this poem right here with an RIP, RIP to Tupac, Rest In Peace, another leader slain, and I’m so caught up I forgot what I was saying, even forgot where I was, which is flying westbound on this plane, writing verses in blood red ink, feeling like Pac All Eyes on me, wondering who shot Tupac pen lines like blood drops, as I write what I think with all that I’ve got in ink, ink as red as my red eyes that blink, sending this poem off as a literary Hail Mary, with California Love even those it’s Me Against the World, Keep Your Head Up & congratulations Brenda’s Got A Baby, and I know I’ll likely Live & Die in LA, so I wonder if there’s a Heaven for a G, & if there is Dear Mama I’ll meet you at **** Mansion, & please know I Ain’t Mad At Cha but I’ve gotta go so peace… ∆ Aaron LA Lux ∆ 30/10/17

Drake on the radio And I am slowly learning how to bring out the worst in you Playing old records- throwback Focusing on ugly, my history You can't make me behave Always trying to burn me Wish I could have trust in you But all I ever knew is how to hold grudges You acting shady, voices in my head getting loud Hope you never make it to the top Suprised to catch you off guard I am the devil in the form of the ***** wanna be sober but I am the high and you can't say no If you want love I am not the place to stay I am merely a station, an idea of transition Thrill after sad days, like the best vacation Rules don't apply to me Because I am not your home.

"You don't just walk away when it gets tough babe! You work it out together when it comes to relationships and lov...tha...peerrrsonnn..." (her voice) Yeah, But I guess I was just dreaming You see I wrote this first part weeks before the news Because it was you - I still believed in Regardless of the paid respects You can't buy someone's love for any less Can't clean up the previous mess I was the problem when I had you at ya best! (Dayum) I hate the way you would avoid a text The truth was between the lines But the lies were all that were left Thought I was drowning in your eyes but really it was just time for me to reflect Ended things calmly but feel like I was just  in a vortex Can't be afraid of goodbyes when hellos seem to be the hardest Truth is I wish I deserved it Asking all the time to see her only to get curved in Silent treatment to someone who only tried to treat ya Knowing her life was getting tough and I was trying to keep ya. Tell me who was trying to push away who? Maybe March 17th was the last time I really met you. And I don't believe that the last time we spoke that was really you Sometimes **** just gets hard and you gotta get thru. (And I know you'll make it) Can't give into love's strain and conviction I hate that I love you...without the realization of my false contradictions. Given up on me - yet, add another to the list My mind boggles these days but not in the thought of you - but when things with us took a sudden switch Crazy to think you give someone everything you got to just be forgotten The way you handled those last few weeks were foul girl - spoiled rotten. Why comeback only to leave? To showcase who you "truly" are but only for yourself to see? To reach out to someone who just can't be reached This seems to be a pattern of one's personality I don't need clarity. The pen is loaded - the target is set Why can't I pull the trigger!? You quit on us and deserve the shots! Why am I trying to be bigger!? ... Cause I've learned a lot Took some deep breaths saw what was hurting me temporarily instead of making me feel blessed This isn't shade This is honesty and telling the truth of ones false reality A lot of stars in the sky but figured you and I were the brightest in the galaxy This letter to you is for you to see what you can do to someone when you make decisions based off emotions Stop pulling the next person with you just because you can't swim in your own painful ocean Let go of that anger You're too pretty to frown Let go of her legacy too - you won't make the same mistakes when you finally fall in love and pick out a gown. Disappointment - for sure but you live and you learn Need to stop holding on to the firey moments Maybe that's why it's so hard to let these memories burn. Lessons were taught and two people found growth within each other Let's not pretend like we are rooting for us to simply find another. Our bond was special But the timing was off We'll never know what could've been And sadly that's our loss I only want the best for you And that's on my heart I'd be lying if I said I saw the day wed truly fall apart But At times I wonder - when it all unfolded that day, did I say all that I needed? why didn't I beg you to stay? Cause you loved the old me and I'm a different person these days. Still hard to look at the woman you loved And tell yourself it's time to walk away. You wipe ya face quickly - put up a smile...and just go....(eachos out) But doug wait... Hol up let me quickly say my final word If this piece ever reaches you i need this part to be heard I love you to death and would re up with you in a second If you were mad after reading this you didn't decipher the love from pain in this message I pray for you all the time, hope you get all the good you deserve and tell god to keep you safe from any harm or danger But I gotta leave ya on this final note "If only we could go back again...and become strangers." Thank you (echoes out)

Our bond was special But the timing was off We'll never know what could've been And sadly that's our loss I only want the best for you And that's on my heart I'd be lying if I said I saw the day wed truly fall apart But At times I wonder - when it all unfolded that day, did I say all that I needed? why didn't I beg you to stay? Cause you loved the old me and I'm a different person these days. Still hard to look at the woman you loved And tell yourself it's time to walk away. You wipe ya face quickly - put up a smile...and just go....(eachos out) But doug wait... Hol up let me quickly say my final word If this piece ever reaches you i need this part to be heard I love you to death and would re up with you in a second If you were mad after reading this you didn't decipher the love from pain in this message I pray for you all the time, hope you get all the good you deserve and tell god to keep you safe from any harm or danger But I gotta leave ya on this final note "If only we could go back again...and become strangers." Thank you (echoes out)

24 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Nothing lasts forever, and that we both knew. Now we’ve become strangers with memories. We were bound together by our mutual gravity. But nothing lasts forever, even the stars die eventually. It’s hard to proceed and progress with the burden of our stress. Please sit beside me in silence, I just need to know that you’re here. I’ve been dreaming with my eyes open ever since the day I met you. It was your presence that held me together as my world fell apart. I wonder how long I’ll keep walking around with this broken heart. Our love became a poem that we patiently wrote without words. Our peers have fallen in love with the habit of not falling in love. I miss the days when we used to speak French without saying a word. I keep doing this thing wrong and putting myself in places that I don’t belong. Another night with ***** in my cup accompanied by the lyrics of a Drake song. So, cry if you need to because it’s hard to proceed and progress with so much heartbreak and stress. Touch if you need to and I’ll stay to hold you because you need to know I’m still here. Talk if you need to because the silence between us is destroying the bond that we share.

Strangers with Memories
I cry alone most of the time. But, a few times I've cried in front of you.   I've realized that the only time I let myself cry in front of someone, is when they can fix me. It's like I can't let myself fall apart unless it's in front of someone that can piece me back together. You were always able to fix me, you always knew exactly what to say, and exactly what to do. But you're gone, and with you left any way of being fixed. I know that sounds dramatic, but it's true. You were my glue, my comfort, my best friend.

Best I ever Had
Yeah, I've kept quite and figured the pen ran outta ink The message wasn't too clear and these days it's been hard to just sit down and think Let me stop for a min and take you back to where it all started Half the people I grew up with are non existent- but all them departed I get on this and self proclaim myself the realist and smartest Thinking outside of the box but boxed in my own words Keeping my talents to a minimum and remain so modest. They gon run they mouth before they ever talk to you Saying a whole lotta nothing's, thinking they logic is the truth Feel like I never say much but there is a lot to know Feel like the difference between us is really starting to show I've stepped away from my heart and suddenly forgot the meaning   Forgot that feeling of being a young man - fearless and optimistically dreaming I'm not saying I'm back im just saying the pen is lit so you better keep caution Or I'll let it all leak out like its blood comin out the faucet With slick metaphors and play on words that don't really play Subliminal bullets with SHH names that I  shouldn't say The reigning king you'd swear I'm bringing victory back to Cleveland Celebrating with my team and all the people who never stopped believin I've stopped thinking about what they thinking about and watched my success finally rise You can glare at him all you want but can't take the determination outta this poor child's eyes The hit came outta no where You know the haters don't like the art of surprise Their whispers are the inspiration We grow from their doubt and constant congratulatory lies Shake your hand - saying they feeling you but quick to stab your back Look out deeper in the woods, snakes are everywhere and not just in the grass I lost a step but gained two more, hop scotched over what they didn't know I could do Tired of talking past pain, my father and most of all about you Progression doesn't start unless you finally start to rev your engine That green light come on and your drive should push you to that happy ending If you don't lose sleep thinking about your dreams you ain't truly dreaming If you ain't cry a few times while working you ain't really putting in a meaning If you have the same amount of people in your circle when it's all said it done... You ain't truly make it If you never folded once under the pressure Your point never truly hit breaking This the formula that shows the good from great She says she loves you but how much of that love can she truly take? Money don't buy happiness and that logic remains truthful But the change from the change still helps keep one's life fruitful.  Crazy. But this concludes the ending of Dougie Simps and simply forgetting what it meant to let the pen do his talking I've run out ink - the blood all over my hands now. Imma see ya when I see ya. (He turns slowly...and continues walking -away.) - I'm Gone

Ugh I could sit here and write to you for 12 more months I could sharpen your image or speak to you just a lil more blunt Oh you still in a funk? But the music is off? Post a picture with ya real intentions & captioned it "another loss" Cause that's what you get when you lie to yaself Eyeliner following a similar path, prideful lipgloss to stubborn to ask for help But she'll ask for wealth And say she was mistreated Saying all men are the same and they intentions misleading... Yeah? Cause with me you were well treated, appreciated, serenaded and so perfect Give it time and you'll start to see who's worth and who's worthless **** My bad I lost my methods of being a gentleman Swear mama would **** me Don't take my emotional bars as a way to say you know the real me Cause the real me is with those I was with back when I could get a quarter The ones who would sell a few nickels and sip liquor like water I feel like people always testing my progression Tell me I'm doing well but still await my regression X the only one who know how I deal with the pressure Take my kindness for weakness and ya will feel my aggression Haven't felt this fruitful since pac was here spitting lessons "Only God can judge me" and slowly awaiting his blessings. I remember being part of it all I remember when I sat there hoping daddy would call I remember seeing all my old friends start to randomly fall off I remember walking with my headphones on and feeling so lost Butter knife thoughts that could cut the cord Are these malnourished feelings worth nurturing anymore? If you had a million, tell me what could you afford? Throw a couple singles to a broken woman just fix ya mood when ya bored Think about Where have you been? Money don't buy happiness but I'll take the down payment Building up my ego with Lincoln, Grant and Franklin. Talking that **** but still keep the mind so humble Life is a marathon you bound to slip up and stumble It's the recovery can you pick back up? Just know when you give your all it may never be enough. There is a difference between us and it's starting to show Ive see you change outta no where and lose sight of the flow You used to tell the real, the best stories and keep it a buck No a days it's a whole lot of talking and you not giving a **** But who am I to judge I'll probably lost sight of the vision Selective views from the top On a success tunnel vision Talk a lot but know none of it's safe I got a few spots in this track that could quickly put you in your place Mixed reviews like the boy drake Tell me they want the crown but have no idea what it takes This confused generation with they heads stuck in the wrong You only know how to put in the work when all else goes wrong "Now it's hussle time" But imma close this out with shots no chaser Every woman who's givin up Imma shout you out quick and thank ya To those who couldn't stay in the car when I told you this was a long ride Ya the same that'll come out when you see me in time Motivation from some of the fam but I'll leave that for thought Just know I'm thinking in way that's so far gone and my mind is meant to be lost. Skilled with this pen the ink represents my direction Left the past, started doing right, fell behind but never stopped moving forward... Cause... This here my direct message. - gone

I was dancing on a coffee table last night and I was so happy I almost started crying tears of tequila and realization, that I am more than enough for me. My hair spinning to the beat and my skirt catching in the breeze. I’ve been overplaying the same Drake songs, thinking he wrote those lyrics all for me. And it’s crazy that I might let you believe you have ever had any hold over me.

I know you'll read this sh!t, I hate when ya submissive Passive aggressive, when we speak it's like you no longer listen Can't follow a heart that has fear and clear omission The Kryptonite from her smile got me making super bad decisions. Imma just take a few sips of this champagne The bubbles help close what's ripped open inside, while the alcohol clears the the eyes of this visual pain To see what you want start to become distant How can you convince a broken heart of it's deferred commitment? And try to hold on to a persons resistance... Your mental obstacles have you blocking all possibilities looking for all the flaws when you're staring back at me Cause it's easy to call it quits, simple to flee I'm not lookin to harm girl, just tryna reach out and please. You... How can you bloom a flower in a *** full of confusion? How can a couple a days in paradise all turn into an illusion? I hear what you're saying, you've been hurt girl, that's a classic hesitant kisses from her lips, think I can taste disaster While similarities got us seeing who can push away who faster. I mean.. What qualities in me were you even searching for? I search for something I'm missing and disappear when I'm bored..but You don't  have to believe in love anymore Tried giving you something to look for Who better for you than the boy? Huh?

Some times.. (Drake from time)
He is beautiful and poetic. Sensitive and creative. I bet if he hugged me I'd feel secure Perfect. So perfect that I'm afraid I'm not worth it. I wish he knew.

Run the fuckin' Jewels, friend. I try to write to the beat, but **** it, I'll just strip instead. I work in sales; I work in industry. **** the things I say are all lies, so what's the point of even writing them? Because I can't write good truth for the life of me. I can speak it though. Catch me in court, cuz I'm trying to be hard. It's all ******** It's just a parking ticket. We're obsessed with hard ************* and chill *** ****** #blacklivematters It's true, and we're all in danger. Who else grew up in the suburbs but is trying to go hard as they can? Masculinity means cars, cash, ******* and *** If you ain't getting ***** you just a ***** Thanks Drake, for teaching us what's important. Kendrick speaks to 'Pac, I wonder if he used ouija board. It's the weird line between demonic and technology. I'm just writing off the dome, I wonder how different this would be if I were sitting at the seafoam. Let's praise our idols; not praise our God. Let's **** **** lick, blow. We all know there is no next show... So what the **** are you living for?

Yep, this is your Dad's record.
her Eyes? her Eyes, are like staring into brand new millenniums where not one infinity is impossible and she does this, with just a simple flicker of every blink she takes opening up, to an array of force fields, and battles long lost to one I hope one day to cross.

an ode to her eyes, pt. I
Ripping out pages and crumpling paper Lately I can't just express without saying Something too raw pulling **** out the closet Leave grown women sobbing this **** is bizzare just Bare with me I'm sorry my life is revolving I'm falling in hallways get faded to jot this Can't bring you up every girl I'm involved with Hates you to death, because I share my heart with You and you only Only you see my side We've loved and we've lied and we've cuddled and cried We built up our pride We've drank and gotten high But every sober moment Protected my mind You rejected my kind gestures and efforts in time made me realize I played the Jester Just to get by Wonder why did I lose love? Well at least I did try Stealing you rings just to make you all mine Still remember your size Those seven point fives that you'd take off at night I know you lost a couple shouldn't come as a surprise We both lost it all even who we both are These emotional scars make what we had hard to find I'm just stuck in the car strapped along for the ride I tapped in to the side of me that's still too in love I know its too much and you don't want to rush, but Me and you were playing house Start thinking that I'm losing touch Falling asleep together on Mare's couch Maybe I should loosen up When I leave you and I go home I start forgetting what it is Gotta keep in mind our two beautiful kids I mean that's **reason enough to ************* live** Why are we wasting our relationship on other relationships? You know how sticky these situations get You go up higher than me some days You know what I think we could be some day But you already know my side of things, man

With bare feet and heavy eyes the river draws me out of our love stained sheets to swallow me whole and straighten my minds eye. Your half conscious whispers and Nick Drake spin around my skull as the sun desiccates my paper soul to be consecrated in a mason jar left in the cupboard.

Green Period
Frost on your window Heartbeat off tempo Don't wanna open the door too scared what you're in for You've been here before But it's never hit so close to home You don't know if you need to be held Or just be left alone *But come in girl, I swear it's warm inside If you can't take it baby, we'll both go hide Tell me what you're thinking, I've been around In a room full of frowns, you still put it down* Calls on your phone Letters at home They used to not talk, now they've missed you so long But they just can't make it Their time has been taken And your stuck here waiting Circumstances won't change just *Let me in girl, I promise, just confide I can take it, I've got nothing to hide Tell me what you been thinking, baby I've been around In a room full of frowns, I'll still hold you down*
