"aggrieve" poems
among the lean and
narrow hours
when the brutal minutes
aggrieve
like the protruding ribs
of an emaciated animal
abandoned things shuffle
into dark unkempt little rooms
littered
with the manifested debris
of a life
unspoken thoughts
in rusted cans
stacked heedlessly
on overused shelving
bowing perilously under the weight
mangled hopes
kicked into the corners
stuck to the floor
foul and fetid
vitiated with wasted time
black mold
leaking from dilapidated hearts
creating pointillism art
across the sagging plaster
overhead
consuming an ersatz
Sistine Chapel ceiling
saints and angels
prophets and devils
sepia toned
in their water stain media
disappearing
into corruptions artistic virtuosity
only God remains visible
reaching out
to give life
if any are left
to receive it

You play on my mind like a looped vinyl disc,
Your words are my new favourite song,
To utter my thoughts, are too great a risk,
For you and for I, for ‘us’, I long,
How can I live leaving great all unsaid,
Dare I wear my heart on my sleeve?
Hands and legs entwined, entangled in bed,
The last I would want to aggrieve,
-
I confessed, you are the one, the exception,
Best friends, we are - forever more?
The one to which I pour my affection,
Don't bloom this wound, open and sore,
A soft whisper disregards all my plight,
'Your heart is pounding like the rain',
'Breath with me', soft, you console that night,
In that moment we were the same

QUESTIONING THE FLAKES OF TIME
AND THE LOST MOMENTS.
WHY YOU LEFT ME ALONE?
WHERE ON THIS DATE?
WHY AT THIS TIME,
OVER AND OUT THIS WAY,
TELL ME WHY.
WHY YOU LEFT ME STRIPPED OF DIGNITY ?
WHY DOES MY SOUL STILL CHASE
THE RUSTED PATHS WE TREADED ONCE,
WHERE YOU ABANDONED ME ONLY
TO AGGRIEVE ME.
TELL ME WHY.
WHY DID MY VOICE BID ADIEU TO BEAUTIFUL
MELODIES WHICH WERE ONCE SUNG BY IT FOR
YOU. MY LOVE?
TELL ME WHY.
WHY HAVENS OF MY HEART ARE MERE RUBBLE
NOW,
DESTROYED, DESECRATED
DEPLORED,THE PINK SHADES OF INFATUATION
HAVE LOST ITS COLORS.
FOR NOW, THE SPARKS ARE DEAD.
BLOOD RUNS COLD TRAVELING I N THE NERVES OF
MORTAL DECEASED BY LOVE.
NO ANSWER FROM THEE,
SO I DEPART ON AN IMMINENT JOURNEY TO
QUENCH THE THIRST OF MY VOICELESS EYES.

Born of an african decent
Grown up of color lucent
Dark though magnificent
A Lady of conducent minds
I dine with her
And time has come
For me to Spend some dime
A time well spent shall save my dime.
Without a Penny
I fail to impress Jenny
A smile that's canny is all I get
I pull out my money
and she smiles like a bunny.
I buy her a meal
to seal the deal
As if a gill she gets a thrill.
She shows she's dill and fails to eat
I pay the bill and eat the meal.
Complimentive talk I start to give Repulsive as she starts to aggrieve
Coercive now she wants to leave
Proactive as i plead with her
Reactive after a hell of thrive
Alas i win with her I live.

She's made of diamonds but breaks like paper
All because it seems like everyone hates her
She picks up the pen and she writes on her skin
A language that she'll have to hide again
Nobody knows it and it doesn't show
Her teachers and family wonder, though
A girl so pretty with eyes so wide
Still feels so much pain inside
She dresses up those pearly white teeth
While nobody sees the pain underneath
Lost in the sounds of falling apart
Silently dying from a broken heart
Her long sleeves cover that scarred up page
No one should feel that at such a young age
She takes a deep breath and rolls up her sleeve
She bares her heart on the paper aggrieve

It feels like I'm repeating the pattern
Ambition vaster then Saturn
My heart refuses to be cold like Vattern
People always have their back turned
It's nothing new to me
The improvements have been few to me
Don't try and start a feud with me
I get why they took a knee
Because hate is on a killing spree
It's been awhile since I drank a pouch of Capri
I'm not trying to be a fusee
Only when it is done the correct way
I could write this all day
But not feel like I'm exigent
It just continues and effects like vesicant
I hope that there's a mouthwash that reduces this bad taste
Because I hope these aren't a waste
I aspire to not be copy and paste
I still got a ton of haste
I'm opened up, spaced
I hope this doesn't debase
My prior work before this
I'm just reiterating how I feel
Turning it into a spiel
Living in poetry is ideal
So I hope these words congeal
And hold the same appeal
To the newer readers
You're not the bottomfeeders
You are the possible leaders
To this stormy and confused campaign
Help end the blain
That's caused me mental pain
I just want to be your Thomas Paine
But I can't unless you show me your light
So we can sleep better every night
To end stress, people get high as a kite
I know that isn't right
We can't ignore the problem
We have to create a way to stop them
And that's been the desperate attempt I've had
That's why I get so glad
When I achieve it
You are not something I ever want to aggrieve.

I love you to the moon and back
No matter how far away the moon may seem
Having the spark of you in my life
Snuggled up next to me
No matter what the stars may deem
I feel like you're a piece of me
Quenched in in my bloodstream
Flowing through my veins
Guarding my self-esteem
Linger over me, stay don't leave
Don't alert when I aggrieve
And let me stay naive
As I express my spleen
You shouldn't listen
Don't act on my command
Cause everything I say
Will lead you straight to wasteland
As I love you with my whole heart
The anger in me stops gushing
With a brand new start
Into this world of soul crushing
I treasure you, like a pirate in the sea
No matter what I may plea
This case is closed
And the sails reach my coast
Gaze the last sunshine
Cause I'm the one you defined
I want to spread my love to you
maybe with a bitter-sweet glass of wine
What else can I do
to make you finally mine?
My mind is enraged with the feelings I have for you
I love you more than anything
But why can I be so cruel?
