Watching a classic
Casablanca Class I Fix
Trix cereal for adults
Goddess sundress
The class act you need to guess
Her
fit* no-one would
know vibrant
Getting the OJ of the miracle
Sunbathing at the
     *Pinnacle


His skin news of the
Chronicle
The fix-up finale deeply
in her classic smile
Sunflowers of the sunray  
Tropicana class act deviant play

Quickdraw Gunfire
Her hot tango steps in action
Copacabana
Diamonds no chips
Big tips at the Gentleman
OH! Boy the cabana detention
Class I comes with affection
Kiss is not a kiss without a real scene

In action to miss a classic movie hit
Adventure Trips  flipping homes
In the classified newspaper middle section

She is the Classic with an illuminating passion

I the Classic one and he is
surfing the internet
So fit to be tied but casual love
She the same person wearing her
flip flops
******* off *Root beer float tops

The root of all evil
That She-devil Sire
Not the ordinary campfire

It takes a certain Class, I can fix peoples
problems  like great ***** of fire

We are not signs or perhaps it's in the signs
Emblems
Where you came from no problems
Take action get more satisfaction
Army grenade we are all
fighting in action
Action speaks louder than words
One of a kind the rare find
A classification of her mind
Understand each other
do the hiring
  Trump in action job firing

What drives us and gives us
gratification
We need to love what is above
our minds
I believe sometimes you don't have to be where the action is

The Rainman Rainforest Vacation
You are the I phone off
with the ringer
Classic type Class I
Our computer all rules
codes and passwords
The religious Pope up front
He's the  Marlon Brando waterfront
You have the polka dot bikini

Panera Sandwich Panini
Orange you glad its cantaloupe
He wants to elope
your classic smile
Exclamation point
At Times Square you could
lift her for miles

Whether we look modern
The technology is always out of reach foreign
Or wearing your heart in his heart
Your wiggle walk
The classic style to talk
Fifties **** smoke
Born to be wildlife everything
is on Castaway
Or layaway on hold

And he is athlete runner so hype
Everyone is busy on
Twitter or Skype
The Facebook and photos

Dorothy loves wizardly Oz and Toto
Were all together like
a congregation, not a citation
Living in the city paying rent
Another wicked concert event

How many times did you get that notification?
The auction house in action the bid five times
Those hot leads of crimes
Playing for a nickel heads up dimes
Class act Quarterback
Elephant treasure trunk
ten commandment
Class, I lady leading the way
Class, I fix the parliament

Her classic fifty style army dress in action
Her bullet lips caught quite an attraction

Feeling the comfort food
Mac and Cheese
Silly names those 
 Canadian A&W
ATM Class I
The French fries do or dies
Skinny He's the Ham Mac
You're the spicy Cajun
on the speaker Mic
What classifies everything in
our life
High stunts action cliff taking a dive
**** Bill he kills me all the time

That Buffalo Bill Chicken Mac
Bombastic not the
forever love classic
With a whole list dark Raven
Crystal rock Haven

Everything lately goes so fast
Getting in Saint Anthony fire
She is the livewire
The gunfire or the cease her fire
Out of money  honey bee
******* mansion multiplier
Everything you're
near his or hers
Wineglass stir me
like an amplifier
What happens to your
responsibilities running
racing your own time
The  Coffee man suitor
My Godly dictator
The saltwater taffy-like lava
Comic Disney Pixstar meet Daffy Duck
Or you overqualified being lied too
Oh! Chuck

Like a candle in the wind its in
the science hot steamy
romance engagement
What awaits things to come
getting blown away
It just like any other day
How we classify things or lose things how our mind cannot remember your best words even writing a poem it takes practice more advice action speaks louder than words like the law and order. I think this poem might be your order. Please tell me how it classifies is this a class act to follow get your coffee fix action we will start the movie my poem classic relax

yes
hello

i'd like to
inquire
the price
of
peace of mind

see
i used to
have my own
but it seems to
have shrunk from
one wash
too many

worn and faded
the beautiful blue
tranquility
a dull grey

how much?
why
i couldn't possibly-
do you
offer layaway?
perhaps
i'll be able
to afford it
someday
zebra Dec 2018
just because you're dead
doesn't mean we aren't dating anymore
does it?
i am haunted
hearing you read a poem in my head,
dead
so we must have chemistry
or am i interminably obsessed
like a ghostly house
while your poems
have there way with me
rumbling down my phantom thigh
breathing
on the layaway plan 
ghastly pumpkin in the oven
languishing gracefully

your generosity in death
a carnival ride of fascination
like a broken bird
to tormented to hold
your preference  
hors d’oeuvres of rat poison
and verse
for the thin air road

a smudged face poets last word
in crumbs of burnt onions and charred meat 

your so pretty in penny loafers
bare legs dangling
In this homeless corridor sunken in your blackened
idol of release
and that stupid stare
your weight no longer measured in grief
i was born to late
to die with you
to save a pretty nymph in a downward spiral
precious fertilizer of poetry fields
i'm fixated on your suicide pose
but you're too busy being dead
to give a ****,
my sweet eyed snob of smiling hooks
i'm obsessively obsessive
for what could never be
and is
am i not your fan,
your creep?
if i pulled you from the oven
and rattled life
no doubt, you'd be all **** and vinegar 
i'd be your despicable hero
a vampire
like a straight jacket of love you hate

your dead now poet of twilight
and i'm left here reading your poems
telling you softly
they are the best poems ever
and making believe
you love me

the deader they get"

B Beckwith Aug 2013
A universal force leading you to the crossroads
To sell your soul and finally live within potential
Or pass it by, blinking lashes
blocking dust and truth

It takes  three things and only those three
Everything else is fluff

You gotta be ugly - you gotta be blind
Can't see or fathom the linear substance
The concrete holding, your bricks in the wall
Either in a literal sense or on the inside
Prominent features surpassing character
hard to look at but don't you worry
You gotta be blind
so it's no concern to you.

Next you gotta depart with your core
Strip away hope,
a skinning between body and soul
No longer will it be yours but if you're lucky,
you may get to keep it through layaway

There's always a price though, hidden fees
Steep, unsubtle , a fat moon face hiding behind a child's mask
I wonder though, was it really ours, this soul, to begin with?
To sell?
Self entitlement lingers second thoughts
That's the biggie though. Ultimate collateral, this soul you carry.

Finally, I'll only touch the tip.
Driving, animal instincts seeking warm comfort
You gotta answer to a new title,
a southern anatomy most of of the species glorifies.
it dominates in a protruding and brute external hang
A tangent  but have we considered this tender piece to be the answer to vulnerability
instead of historically jarred ******* of wit
and wealth?

That's all it takes, folks. At that fateful railing
Get used to hot, sticky and  sweet breath
Always chasing, caressing the back of your neck.
The void in the center where you had it
The soul you had
before you sold it.
deal with the devil, soul

Sweet lips of mango

I wrote this because I love to dance I took ballet when I was younger but the art of the tango is something to master there are some great amazing dancers I compiled this to everyone that could relate to dancing
Patrick Raven Feb 2012
The country lost their beauty queen

The same day passed the Prince of Pleasure

Televisions will capture the red eyes of gravediggers

And the dried

The prunes and the oppressed

Smoking cigarette butts down to the ground

Mutiny will be on layaway

Shooting in streets and dying local band posters

The road lion growls

Police stay home, your brothers in arms will die.

So it goes. How useful is that?

Up came the sun, down went the stars.

The water calmed still, and loud were the cars.

English Translators dance in Russian studios.

Loudspeakers play the silent songs nobody knows.

The woman in the yellow beaded necklace plays with her silver rings rolling across her white fingers.

Wafting down the black nighttime cool air you can hear the rhythm choir of a thousand black children

singers.

That’s my town.

Isn’t great.

I’ll show you the strangest kid I know.

Purple, red, fast and yellow.
For the pale dudes who confront the wind
and try to push it back into its bottle,
and for tall girls with their datebooks
who can organize their dressers
but feel acid scorch their throats whenever
someone says the not-so-magic words
because disorder haunts them still--

For all the paralegal types
who had to rearrange their futures
for the kids,
and for the dryer locked in layaway--

I will keep the fire going.
Pedro Tejada Apr 2010
I wish I could drive a fossilized Cadillac
right through an arid desert
in the middle of Arizona
so my desolation can have its own landscape.

I’ll ask the grains of sand
rocketing in swirls around the wind
if they've seen my talent running by;
I’ve been calling it for months now.

The citizens of Earth are not cold.
It was just my eyes that gave them frostbite,
my mind that morphed their faces
to resemble the hideous change within.

I’m not sure if that’s a truth
that fate has put on layaway since birth,
or perhaps a rumor that’s been force fed
like wart-ridden frogs to the purest of tongues.

All I want at this point
is to be a center of a desert’s mushroom cloud,
leaving with a new look at the sky
and a bit of dry skin.
Lucy Tonic Nov 2011
Diamond planets on layaway
Stellar corpses thrown away
Purple ribbons of DNA
And silver spoons in mouth

It may look white, but it's blue and red
A race of oranges on a narrow thread
While satellites mess with our heads
The sun dyes our hair

They're selling space to the googolplex kids
With golden grahams of fake eyelids
While android hands place their bids
Ignoring their embedded denial

Fifth dimension sure looks green
Entropy has gone obscene
My solar twin must be quite mean
But there's not much we can do

If you're blue
You're bleeding through
If you're blue
I'm bleeding too
It is hard to walk with only one hip.
The other is attached to my lover
and it feels like I’ve put it on layaway.

Week after week making small deposits to get it back
and yet to find, years later, I have only begun to pay down the interest.

Maybe we met at the wrong time
In another life I would have made you mine
I think we need some time apart
You can't be the one to hold my heart
A married man can't love another
He can't take me under the covers
He can't make me feel the way he does
I just want to go back to the way it was
But what if you're the one who gets away
I might come to regret this someday
I shouldn't want you the way that I do
In 38 days I need to be over you
You need to stop making me feel this way
Love can't be put on layaway
You know how I feel and you did it again
Why did I ever let you in

Alias indomitable invincible
Donald John Trump oozes wrath
inexorably plunging every species
of life toward apocalyptic warpath
mercilessly threatentens world

validating ex post facto commander

hence... this call to arms gives run
for money challenging any psychopath

wisest sages calculated math.

Thus one poetic footsoldier doth broadcast

rendering oblate spheroid
uninhabitable, I daresay
if bleak forecast father time doth delay
global warming would outweigh
former worst case nihilistic scenario,
nonetheless Gaia will serve

as repurposed ashtray,
whereby inextinguishable fiery storms
approximating calculus of doomsday
nsync with intolerable weather forecasts
if complacency rides roughshod field day
defying lack of immunization oy vey

viral and bacterial agent provocateurs

I breath in your vapors
I exhale your funds
Chained by your favor, I need no reason
To a wall with a value
Cemented with our blood
Dasha Adams Sep 2016
We had a celebrity yet hidden love
The come follow me so we can get private time hidden love
But I don't want to be your Beyonce and Becky with the good hair
I'm about to be the best thing you never had and make you irreplaceable cuz you ain't listening'
You want to be hidden in plain sight
But my body isn't your ego
You want the green light
Want a place to keep your surfboard safe
Want me to hold your extra weapons cuz u r a soldier
Finding the right moment to put me back behind battle lines
Nobody knows how or why I'm your "Bonnie"
They don't know your my angel with a broken halo
No one gets that you sing to me, you rap to me
The kind you would never show your mother
Cuz it doesn't matter what you may think I deserve
Or what I might be worth
I will never ever be like "those girls"
The girls that is only allow to call when your mother falls asleep
The girls who always sending LOL Smiley
The girls who would give up anything for your superego filled kiss
You hide me in stairwells and behind locker doors because your scared to be seen with me
Then everybody would still know what you were doing…
Dwelling in your heart and soul
you're still holding on to me
My hips you keep them,
The key to my heart, you keep playing hide-and-seek by yourself
Yes, you may say there's somebody else
And you never meant to love me
Its ok, you don't have to admit it because actions speak louder than you do

You text me like i'm the last human left
Then act like you never ever wanted to know me
As if our moment we made special was your type of a payment plan
As is if my body was 30day layaway
All you been doing lately is lay away

Cuddle with me, but in the morning you run like Beyonce on the run tour
I'm almost like a ******* child
The  reason Daddy left from the start
Rejection for me don't come on weekend or holidays
It comes when you sit next to me and stay closed off like a ****** scene
But I knew a time when you couldn't way to see my face
I don't know why  you are

Dead Horse on the race track

If this is happiness, then sadness is on layaway
     Then my futuristic plans is chalking out my future
Better to know, before stepping into the horse’s droppings
     Than this upside of uncertainty of man’s failure:
To me it’s stressful, but not always bad:

When the dark clouds clear, the sun will appears:
Those long months, those lonely hours,
Always rolls back to and stay low on flat surfaces:
January, February, March, May
and June always, goes by so fast;

I have past the one hundred and eighty one mark for this year
I add more to my bucket lists: I am single and free
I haven gotten a deep French kiss throughout those months
Not even a little hello **** or a grab by
the ***** approach from the perverts
but I am moving on: and loving it…

The whispering night, the silence ring tones,
It’s better off without the whimpering whimper:

**Better to flee from death than feel its grip.

I’ve got anger for days
and you call it my rage.

I was seething before,
writhing on the floor
by the kitchen door
that led to nowhere.

Which is why I
never ever got there.
I just got more ******
felt like I was
being dismissed
because no one appreciated
my humble genius.

So, I put ambition on layaway
paid on it a little every day
financing life with a little hate
that drove me towards
working out late
and writing even later;

Popping ephedrine
to make it through work,
crashing all day
then waking up
with such a deep thirst
that my whole body hurt
that much worse.

Honestly,
the art wasn’t as good
as I thought it was.
I mean it was still better
then this modern pop ****,
but I hadn’t, still haven’t
mastered it.

I’ve calmed a bit,
but the anger is still in there
waiting to push me farther
then I went the last time.
New age space ghost, alien host, no need to hold a toast, suckas quick to boast,
At me but they, only end up in a roast, I'm in the lineage of the gods, against odds,
You'll see me making evens, who do you believe in, marks of slashes receiving,
The beast system within, six aligned with the midnight, iight, taking heights,
Once the hail mary, ups my hype, I see Elijah  walking with, Eli amongst the fire,
My soul desire, the thirst of higher, power seraphim showing me, hellish realms,
Coals touched my lips, purified the grips, over my sins, posed a mental eclipse,
I let the ships, sail away no delay,
Every body gotta price to pay, rich to poor, peace riots, to melees, now say,
A prayer from the holy scripts, I let the last blood of my soul drip, into the skylines,
Tingles all over my spine, baptized in Jesus's blood lines, it all lines,
To the days, of these ways, government stuck in they sinful ways, I daze,
At the sun, and the stars, I saw life on Mars, swords, of glowing bars, afar,
Battles been, going on for centuries, since the days, of dawning humanity,
Walking amongst the dead, I saw many a blood baths, that was shed, over my head,
I red, the darkness consumes the light, but meanwhile, I'm still tryna fight,
The evil against the evil, laying curses to sigils, everyday is a new sequel,
Yo I'm close to my doomsday, yearning for the people's, souls put on layaway,
While they partying everyday, I see the demons plotting right this way,
Money here, and money there, but steadily looking, at their rights taken away,
Homeless men and women, ain't nothing but angels, positioned within,
Judging the sins, heavy weighs upon the crown, of the earth, a failed birth,
Aborted peace, walk the valley of the beast, from the west to the east,
Ain't no **** peace, too many shells release, feel the heartbeat increase,
Scents of the deceased, taking back over the earth, cries out to the holy father,
But why bother, most is stuck like a cotter, pin, feel the breeze, but it's no wind,
Im setting trends, traces for the end, times a king walking on a thin line,
Reclaim my throne, that was last back in the timeline, I'm living life backwards in time,
Only way to forwards, is if I replay my past life, that died away, cuz I had page a way,

From there? Yeah.
When the glint strikes off the reflective eyelids
all that stands before it is a blindspot
don't stand there waiting to answer or be forgiven
run
run for your ******* life

New boss, old boss, hat in the ring toss
old faithful, fate-fool, a hate tool,
pick an eye, either eye, both eyes
going postal is washed-up, going coastal, old hat
new news, comply on layaway, that'll cost the botha youse
goodwill is taxing, vexing, hacking, give your back-reacting-now that-
dot your I's and mind your tightly wound W's
pension for paperwork is not a fair trade, first laugh is free, next charge though, there goes
how you gonna make a mistake, the takeaway you fake the venom to hide the severed head of the snake away
protecting, projecting losses, greenbacks, stacked in backpacks to resurrect an architect like Imhotep to build projects
in daydreams you can feel the sun off them, in real life you can't see them if you break your necks
competitive incompetence, popping off like water balloons with incontinence
does anything in the whole wide world make a lick of ******* sense?

A man told me he knew the secret to being powerful and making threats,
it's not doing anything, letting their imagination run wild while the other person sweats

and he said so you have until I'm done counting down from five... to be out of range
I looked at him, relaxed and at ease, we were in a wide open space with no cover
Only five?
Yeah?
I watched his eyes
From there?
Yeah.

                          Anti-Tarnish Silverware Container

                         “Anti-Tarnish Silverware Container”

                                  -a sticker inside the box

A cheap wooden box nailed together long ago
All scratched and patched with mismatched nails and screws
And lined inside with stained, decaying felt
With slots for long lost knives and forks and spoons

Part of someone’s treasure in the Depression time
A dollar or two a month on a layaway plan
At Montgomery Ward or Penney’s or Sears
The “good” silver for Thanksgiving and Christmas

The silverplate has been garage-saled and lost
But there was love, and somehow love remains
Break out the chapstick, before I kiss, the second pair, of my girls lips,
Freaky is I, caress slowly then **** on her inner thighs, yeah I'm sly guy,
Why lie, let's keep it real for the lyrical ties, I keep ya eyes, baked to a fry,
I get a love jones, in my bones, reigning back on top of, hip hops throne,
Mack more than Jerome, lets get it on, til I see a crack in the horizon,
Moonshine glares, cold heart from these bears, witnesses Genesis,
Turned into exodus, folks still scented off the bloods mist, hard to digest,
Only stay true to the realist, true lyricist, take ya best shots at me, only to miss,






Came off of my cloud, as I cover love over the hate shroud, talk loud,
Without saying nothing, lips is button, once a god, breaks into something,
What you holding, critics folding, tryna shuffle life to an everyday molding,
Slash ya third eye, once I line up in the I, formation, begins a cremation,
Assassination day, prepare for doomsday, from the Sunday to Sunday,
We play with darts, that hits like gun plays, voluminous slays, with no delays,
****** war games, listen to what these critics say, I got my soul, with no price to pay,
I see many souls up on layaway, tryna chase away dreams, for optical themes,
Back in the days, we use to shout cream, the more the money, the more to intervene,
Too much wisdom,so I had to redeem,
Took from Solomons rings, silver scrolls and portals, of an immortal shadows opening,
Destined to ring, Liberty bells but the fat lady can't even sing, see angels to demons bring,
Chaos amongst the human being, universe sight seeing, who do you believe in,
Still teething, on the flavors of the space age  family, twilight I'm just a baby,
To the mice galaxies, Azreal the death angel, warned me, my time is infinite,
I won't see death like Elijah, consumed by the heavenly fire, whirlwind hitting like pliers,
What about the higher,
Deeply resonate with the Messiah, got the torch to the ****, to fly right buy ya,
The Christ slayers, laying with the undertaker's, they taken under,
Sounds of thunder, darkness blooms, now feel the wraths of the Gods, under,
Can't stop, now you stuck in the blunder, on the sevens seas I wonder,
How many scabs on the ram?, How many playing the sacrificial lambs? ,
Heavy weighs the crown, on those who, get drowned, I never seen forth down,
Sho nuff, up in yo town, the villain master, that cause much disaster,
Plastered like I'm drunk, rap thesis like Van Gogh, midnight summer pieces,
I can move, immovable forces, bring life to over a billion corpses,
Got the light from Jesus, suffered from so much, pain through amnesia,
I'm not hear to please ya, I stick to the script, limited life of an Ebenezer,
Nobody to visit me, throw in my tombs, and put the rocks over, to comfort me,
Three days later, I'm feeling greater, angels rolled stones, I'm here to cater,
Satellite ya mind, works em everytime, channel to a higher, state of mind,
Aiyo prolific my skills gifted haters get shifted
From guns lifted cliff'd to the edge breaking pledge
No oaths to sworn on im so long gone
Folks get the prolong once i swing the Capcom
Marvel I could sparkle the darkest shadow
Plateaus I break those fools out like Woodrow
Over gold no valuable expose the international
Banking shanking got them critics blanking
No thanks from me cant cook me like a chicken
Picking feathers deluxe edition switching
Into another mode keep my shells in the abode
Enemies posing as toads on the the roads
Hoping I pump out my brakes for the fakes
Beef i cook steaks well done chosen time frozen
Posing for ya final making tears shaking
See god roll out the wickedness like ******
All eyes on thee as I spin the Machiavelli
Plot fools get gritted and rock cold knock
Ya bodies slowly ticking and a tocking
See the disco jockey dropping
Beats for the pineal gland shine all thoughts confined stand in line
This is just the beginning of your own decline
See what the greatest adventures incline
Tryna stop my shine but I still perfect divine


Spaced out mind dazed honey glazed days
Looking for the sun where it don't shine rays
Haters looking for ways to resident a stay
But they get no prays over the Lord's says
I slays got the mighty pen true swordsman
There i am again laying with frail quins
**** im dreaming naw im just for scheming
Tryna escape reality through Wankas factory
Chocolate strippers honey drippers tippers
To the gold diggers most think I'ma *****
But I'm tryna make moves like Jigga
Billion dollar figure still rocking Hilfigers
With the Nautica jeans blue starched clean
Sipping lean chopped up greens seasoned
My food for thought most love to be caught
Up Under the worldly display i layaway
the Chaos black Kronos kin to evils religion
Still can spot the paces of a lurkin' stool piegon
