"racin" poems
(song lyrics)
Verse 1:
Now I can’t go fishin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my rod and reel
Can’t go snow-racin’, ‘cuz ya’ sold my snowmobile
And I got flaws - that’s for sure - and sometimes run amuck
But the final straw that I can’t take: Ya’ sold my pickup truck
Chorus:
You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar
But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far
Verse 2:
I didn’t care when ya’ bought that stuff on TV’s QVC
Or ‘cause ya’ always thought of me as your private Money Tree
Or catalog-orderin’ ever’thing from within ol’ Sears Roebuck
But I’ll be danged if I’ll sit still since ya’ sold my pickup truck!
Chorus:
You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar
But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far
Verse 3:
So I went and saw a gypsy gal, and a curse on you imposed
To put sand in your chewin' gum and runners in your ***** hose
And all your clothes and accessories to never, ever match
And chiggers in your bed sheets - so you’ll always have to scratch!
Chorus:
You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar
But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far
Verse 4:
I seen ya’ last Saturday night at Bubba’s Bar and Grill
The image of you in stripes and checks remains within me still
And them red chigger welts upon your nose and face
Tells me that the gypsy curse is workin’ ever’ place!
Chorus:
You can burn the house, shoot my dog and stomp my ol’ guitar
But when you sold my pickup truck, well, Honey, ya’ went too far

Angels have wings
Well, it depends on your perception
When I first saw you I swear nothing could describe the connection
You looked into my eyes, saw my soul, smiled at me, reached for my heart then offered me resurrection
You asked me why my heart hasn’t been beating in so long
You took a closer look ,saw that it was falling apart and you sung to me a gentle song
And the sound of your voice filled me like air
The touch of your fingers felt like care
My broken heart now pumpin’ racin’ screamin’ cause the last time it lived
it lived in fear,
You tell me Angels have wings
Well, you haven’t met mine
Her kiss is like sunshine
Her soul is like moonshine
Strong, glowing , illuminating

I wonder what would happen if you knew,
Those times when I had a glimpse of you,
Smiling with those eyes that can't seem to be true,
Or on that day when we talk about dew,
And how my heart was racin' but you've got no clue,
Oh, what would happen if you knew,
How many times my heart aches for you,
Though in love I still feel blue,
For deep in my heart, I knew it too.
That there can be no such thing as me and you.

It's cold outside but warm within,
Rose candles golden glow,
With you here right beside me -
Let winter say hello!
The fire's all cracklin', blazin'
On the wall play love's shadows,
Contours of time a-racin'
Let winter winds bellow!
Your eyes like stars a-twinklin'
I'm lit from my head to toes,
The chords of my heart a-jinglin',
Let cold winds blusterin' blow!
Hearts alive, all hustlin'
And the music turned so low,
Whispers of sweet nothings
As winter steals the show...
A white night beaut' unfurlin',
Snowflakes dance so slow,
Twirlin' , whirlin', swirlin'
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Worry a'creapin
Confusion sets
Nerves are startled
Fear Upsets
Minds a racin'
Thoughts implode
Face is flushed
Fear Explodes
Hearts a'flutter
Chest tightens up
Voices stutter
Fear Erupts
Hearts a'poundin
Sweat then rolls
Panic resounding
Fear unfolds
Deaths a'loomin
Dreads attack
All consuming
Fear is back
Peace a'buildin
Calm ensues
If Gods willing
Fear defused

well I knew
Somethin was wrong
Went to see all a my friends
But they'd packed up and gone
TWO GHOSTS talkin in the shadows
Was all that was left
SOME THINGS are so painful
But ya just can't forget
RACIN SUNDOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY
|~~|
the rain it was fallin
Was no where to hide
Just guessed on my own
It was my turn to die
It seemed kinda simple
but the thought I had failed
Filled me with sorrow
So I braced up my will
TO RACE SUNDOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY
|~~|
I started screaming
CAN'T YA SEE WHAT ' S COMIN DOWN !
best pick up yer senses
And get the hell outa town
The Pig Men are comin
It's you they'd enslave
So if you treasure freedom
Know this is the Last Day
TO RACE SUNDOWN ACROSS THE COUNTRY
|~~|
Yeah
I
Knew
that Somethin was wrong .........

You’re a groovy tomato dancin’ with loose-tongued disco fries.
Chillin’ in limbo, sippin’ on sangria, and eatin’ on my pride.
Racin’ on a superhighway with scorchin’ thumbs and eloquent lies,
But my guts are wrenchin’ and my eyelashes are flashin’, much to your surmise.
I drank your love like a dino, now I’m bringin’ out your prehistoric side.
Baby, I can run your city with a stogie and a ****** dancin’ in disguise,
But this **** it don’t mean nothin’, or at least not what you’ve implied.

Old Milwaukee raised me.
Groomed me, shaped me.
Prepped me, made me.
I must have been born for the wild..
Bright lights, long nights.
Skyscrapers, paper chasers.
Yellow cabs, livin' fast.
Dream chasin', heart racin'.
Crowded trains, heat and rain.
Livin' right, rockstar life.
Heart breakers, money makers.
I was definitely born for the wild.
Baited me, hooked me.
Caught me, took me.
New York City has my heart.

We’re riding,
feels more like flying,
because this car,
feels more like a spaceship,
used to ride in a hybrid with eyes red,
now I ride a Tesla clean as a whistle,
used to use the pen as a sword,
now I use my laptop as a missile,
sorry I’m not sorry if I missed you,
didn’t intentionally diss you,
just been focused zoning on my poems,
keeping it going with my mind on the mission,
listen,
this is the future,
most are out to lunch better catch up,
this isn’t a **** it sandwich this is blessing dressing,
not an invalid salad but an important portion so pay attention when addressing us,
fck,
trying not to cuss too much,
but what the fck,
sometimes too much isn’t even enough,
probably heard that before,
probably didn’t know that was my line,
see when over a million people have read your words,
your words get rewritten time after time,
rewritten but not bitten see there’s a difference,
and yeah I know that the difference is a line and that line’s fine,
and it’s crossed when the message is lost and the spirit leaves the body,
but it’s not when I hear the words repeated in songs and I know those words are mine,
because when I know other people also know albeit sublimely,
I guess that’s what happens when your work outgrows you,
when you hear words you wrote in songs and quotes,
and it gives you that potent mix of anxiety and adrenaline,
which leads you to speeding by throttling the clutch like a throat,
heading north on America’s most west coast road,
going 100 MPH with no MPG up the PCH,
no MPG because the ride is all electric,
like we are running in this lifelong race,
racin’ with Jaden we ride out to our Topanga hideout,
got a whole 10 acre mountain top up there,
where we go to get ghost when we need to get away from foolish folks,
from their flashing lights Hellish cellphones and all their blank faced phony stares,
riding,
feels more like flying,
because this car,
feels more like a spaceship…

I knew
Something was wrong
Went to see all my friends but they'd
Packed up and gone
---
Ghosts talkin in shadows
All that was left
---
All that was left
..
The tattered *****
Hangin laundry
.
The vast
The vast corpse structure
The angry
--
The ******
The teen angel
Lover
With her agony
--
The long wait
The undying
Memory
--
WE MEANT WELL!
WE DID!
-
The sound of the wind
Yeah
Something's wrong
---
Do you know my name?
--
On the beach at dawn
The fog lifts
Will we see eachother now?
Naked tattered flesh
Angry
Will we
Ask eachother's name?
Will you blame me
For the agony?
I knew
Something was wrong
Went to see all my friends
But they'd
Packed up and gone
---
Racin sundown across the country
Across the country
Ghosts
Shadows
Country
-
The ******
Teen angel
Lover
The agony
The ghosts talkin
All that's left

She pushed her cart so frankly,
Eyes straight forward -
Never sidecast,
Nor down to the tray
Showing a splendid array
Of treats
I knew
Were mine.
But then that woman
Went blinking mad!
Racin' her goodie cart
Much too fast,
Rudely ahead,
At things I
Yet
Had said -
Her gown
Screaming
A ****** red.
--
Hair yanked
My eyes
Down -
The drone had stolen my gown!
Rattling wheels
Still forging ahead -
She had given me her
Flute and her
Tongue-tied suit,
(The suit that I knew
Gave them
Control over you),
Her wolf eyes
Wide,
And dead.
My filed down nails
Grew into claws,
Clenching my empty cup,
"I did not drink it!"
"I will not drink it!"
Then the cup was filled back up.
That woman stood still
In front of me -
Hands tied down to her sides,
As she silently mouthed her
Starch-white song,
"There's nowhere
You can hide."
I hurled my cup
With that bitter water
At her blaringly
Condemning
Face,
"I will not eat
Your grinning sweets!
You won't keep me
In this place!"
--
Nuts and bolts
Flying and Floating -
Stinging a rip
In time,
Punctuation
Chasing my words,
In haste -
But,
No trace of her
Could I find.
--
Too much parepin in my water.

*All I wanted was a night out on the town with her
With all the love and adoration that I promised her
Fitted cap on my head, felt like a trend setter
A mental slap from my momma; I should’ve known better.
Picked her up, and I was starin’ at her gorgeous outfit
Her fitted top, her cotton blouse, and lookin’ fine without it
Honored to stand beside her, I didn’t mind the clues
I found her very attractive wearin’ designer shoes
Took her out to dinner, we’re conversin’,
Lobster in citric acid – she devours, thinks it’s worth it
The in-house chef comes at our table and asks,
“This is the fifth time you’ve ordered,
So can you make this your last?”
The check is at our table; I offer to pay for it
She doesn’t even glance, pullin’ out her phone
I noticed her nails; she paid a lot for ‘em
Dinner was very painful
She wants me over? I'm startin' to see her fatal halo
On our way to her place, a man was gettin’ robbed
I’m shoutin’ at the attackers - she’s actin’ very odd
Tell her to call the cops to try and get these boys to stop,
“Sorry but I’m in a hurry! I’ll see you at the spot.”
Ten minutes later I’m racin’, and knockin’ at her door,
Reachin’ her place and I notice she’s pacin’ back and forth,
She’s on the phone with a ***** who stole her ex from her
Angry detonation soon as she got a text from her
She tells a “Jada” on the phone, ***** I don’t give a ****
Jada responds “wantin' to let you know and wish you luck.”
But you can tell that she was jealous of Jada’s position
Her ex is treatin’ her better, happy with his decision
I’m wonderin’ what happened; turns out that Jada’s pregnant
“She thinks I care about that, knowin’ that I resent him!”
She claims she’s better than Jada in every single way
With self-respect and sayin’ prayers every single day
Seekin’ some validation, she’s beggin’ for a kiss
Intimate opportunity, she’s hopin’ not to miss
Her sweet, angel hazel eyes are lookin’ sour ‘cause
I’m just exhausted and feelin’ the witchin’ hour buzz
She lashes out; I see the reason why this girl is single
Admits to cheatin’ on her ex and so she’s out to mingle
Pulls out a lash and then proclaims that I should punish her?!
I’m out the door within’ seconds cause I’m so done with her!*

It's driving me absolutely insane
that I can't get this girl out of my brain
even though she's a little young for me.
I can't remember the last time I was crushin
I guess it makes for a good discussion
my friends think it'd be good but would she?
Love comes in hearts not ages
hits people at different stages
It's a part of all decisions
makes for emotional collisions
and most of all it brings us pain,
until the perfect person comes along, and brings us everything.
I can't believe my hearts racin
this much over a girl I'm chasin
I want to know if I can win.
The fight for her is gettin fun
I'm wondering if she could be the one
or am I just gonna hurt a girl again?
Love comes in hearts not ages
hits people at different stages
It's a part of all decisions
makes for emotional collisions
and most of all it brings us pain,
until the perfect person comes along, and brings us everything.
I guess life's about taking chances
seeing what come of summer romances
and trying to figure out God's plan.
This seems like such a giant task
but I just really want to ask
if this girl will let me be her man.
Love comes in hearts not ages
hits people at different stages
It's a part of all decisions
makes for emotional collisions
and most of all it brings us pain,
until the perfect person comes along, and brings us everything.
Until the perfect person comes along, and brings us everything.

to find salvation in this snowy station
with these pasty walls has got my mind racin.
tracing the snowman’s footsteps, erasing all my mis-steps.
the Black Queen is gonna crumble, their whispers turn to mumbles.
I’m sorry for this color,
forgive me for this blunder.
I can’t fight no more, this strong Brown sista.
she’s cracking under pressure,
she cannot find her mista.
but what she need him for?
why ain’t she independent?
why am I not accepted?
just first answer my question.

they come to haunt me and taunt me
making me resent things feeling empty
putting thoughts in mind , so sorry!
i design this rhyme to pass time,
Every time i break down,
i feel no chime, quiet like a mime,
losing whats truelly mine, is my mind, that i can not find,
i feel this pain inside i feel derange and i sometimes, engage
with what in front of me, this saten, is haten, of me cakin,
holdin the Jesus piece,no time wastin, just waitin for my time,
to exceed the needs of success, im patiently pacin,and pacin
yet racin, im late yet early to punch in, im not goin down without a fight with who who ever is lurkin,
am im certain the curtain is clossin ,
im keep spittin and writting my words fighting even if its hopeless, that i will change
and it will get alil bit better,
with alil bit chedder,
ohh this, this otis, gottsa gottsa to be open, and im open, but the world is sooo close, an closen ,and cold and im doing what i been told, years and years im gettin old, i wanna be immortal, enter a portal , everybody knows
times goes off course soo, i stay i on lane, doin my thang , flippin paper empty the pain with a pens by the stains.
do you know what its like to be a mystery everybody wanna solve ya, but you wanna a revolva to be history, misery loves company, and im comfort by the honesty, of an oddity, that i wanna be,
and i wanna get even, with a these heathens breathin, forever steamin my self esteem is depleatin , replenish me please jesus!
i need this , vent, **** everybody who i met, did me wrong the first sec, i regret ,and resent and spent times on something true useless, like the rest...of my heart, torn apart grown to beat and spark, but not ****** in the light so i love to dwellin the dark!!!

My husband when i dream. {my year crush}
I can't stop thinking about him
his arms around my shoulders
his voice in my ear
ringing over and over
I cant stop thinking about him
his silly little jokes
the way his glasses sits on his nose
the way he frowns when I decide it's him i want to poke.
I cant stop thinking about him
the way his hair feels
the way his beard feels
the way im head over the hills
I wont stop thinking about him
the way his patience overturns negation
the way he holds my attention
even when my minds' racin'
I wont stop thinking about him
he crosses my mind all the time
taking his time, precious time
to blow kisses and taunt my mind
teasing me because he know he's stuck here
to stop thinking i must do it, so i can keep track of what i need to do here
but alas,
his kisses leaves me breathless
and his embrace leaves me thoughtless
his arms leave me as jello.
A jiggling, giggling girl wanting him to -
never let go.

beatin on the radiator
goin up the elevator
you runnin' through my head
racin' through my mind
driving me crazy
hope you're having a good time
end of the night i'm banging on your door
beggin' you for more, please
lock the door, please
your body suffocates me
more than the cigarette, baby
holds me alive
no compromise
now or never
stupid endeavor
but so god **** worth it I could scream
just like you scream my name
animalistic
never simplistic
and that's just how you like it

Awwww, man, I'm flippin', news reports got me trippin'
My mind's busy racin' foot's tappin, I'm pacin'
They say, and I trust, in a few decades time,
That the icecaps will melt and engulf the coastlines, of
New York and LA, and New Hampshire and Maine, and
New Orleans will be but a massive flood plane,
It's a tad bit insane and alarming to say,
That it's been brought about, by our self obsessed ways,
They say India just had the hottest of days,
Ever seen in its history, see, it's a mystery,
Why we don't act, we have limited time, and
The scientists warn us, as temperatures climb,
While republican senators watch and insist,
It's a "liberal myth" and it doesn't exist,
How I wish I could choke 'em and watch 'em turn blue,
Like the color they hate! It just cannot be true,
We're destroying the means for our species' survival,
Proposals for action all dead on arrival,
Cause Exxon and Shell simply MUST have their profits,
So they buy the elections, and silence the prophets,
They lobby with hundreds of millions in bribes, and
Darken the futures of billions of lives,
Revolt now becomes an imperative need,
We must favor each other, instead of their greed,
We must march in the streets, upon Capitol Hill,
Or on parliament buildings, until we instill,
The fear of the ones who demand something new,
Because, we are the many, and they are the few.

"Still feel the pressure of his touch
Legs clutched
Hearts racin
At the thought of
His face in
Between my thighs, no lie
A kind of fire I can't begin to describe
And so I must wait
I must wait for the both
Him and our wife
Out on a date" ~atiyaebony

Round three o’clock,
I’ll roll over— wide-eyed and violent,
Tummy to the bed;
Leaning on my elbows, thoughts racin’ through my head
Like I never slept at all.
I’ll look around, searching for something
In the empty night; in the empty bed,
Anything that’ll keep me free from my head, but
I won’t find it— just my half-eaten dreams. And me:
Hungry cannibal,
Watching in despair
As they shiver and dissolve, like whispers in the air—
But they’ll come around again; they know me well.
All too soon I’ll step out
From the empty bed
Where the monster sleeps, and I scramble at threads
That shiver and dissolve in the empty night
Where morning hides. But that’s alright;
I’ve come to love them, the frost and the stars—
Perhaps like me, they’ve got lonely hearts.

Stomach acid

Dance to this beat
Dance to this beat
