"wrongdoing" poems
Creeping voices in the night Shadows lurking out of sight Haunt me till the morning's light No sleeping for me tonight Looking at my bedroom door My feet barely touch the floor Something whispers down my core Something that I can't ignore Melted candles in my hand Things I would not understand My hope slips away like sand This was not what I had planned Slowly walking down the stairs Feel a breeze sweep through my hair Shadows lurk; in silence stare Naked thoughts are all I wear Out of breath I walk outside Shaking fear that builds inside No more places left to hide Guilty thoughts of mine collide Drenched in coward's blood and fear I lost those who I held dear It's all blurred, nothing is clear Shadows from my past appear As the silence speaks to me Gets too loud it deafens me My past will not leave me be Pain and torment I foresee Dazed and drawn by these lost souls Broken thoughts I can't control Ghosts slip through this gaping hole Darkness has taken its toll From the darkness dreams come out Nightmares flailing all about Closing in, I hear them shout It's the end, I have no doubt "What the hell is it you want?" They retreat and me they taunt One emerges, tall and gaunt "Your life we will no more haunt." "You have paid for your wrongdoing," He tells me, his voice booming "This is now your redeeming You are free." he says smiling I look at the rising sun I no longer have to run My sentence is served and done The ghosts have finally gone.

Wake
To the man on the street that called my ex girlfriend and I ****** I forgive you. We were nineteen and in love, I’m sorry that you were raised in a way that made you look at two girls holding hands and laughing as something that wasn’t to be shown in public. I’m sorry that my happiness made you feel insecure in that moment. My happiness was not on display to offend you. My love life was never an act of rebellion against you. I will forgive you for how you were raised but I will not apologize for showing love in a way you don’t deem appropriate for wandering eyes. To the people I went to high school with, I’m sorry I never heard the rumours you spread about me until you were already out of my life. I’m sure you meant to break my heart when you called me **** in the hallways but your words never made their way back to me. Your aggression towards who I chose to love never stopped me from falling in love with girls I never imagined could be real. I refuse to hide away my love. I will not let your words shame me back into the closet I was scared to admit I was stuck in. To the people who used to send me anonymous messages telling me to **** myself I hope you’re in a better place now. I often think about how my big secret made you so upset that you couldn’t stand to live in the same world as me. I’m not sorry that I’m still here now. I still feel sorry that you were so sad with yourself that you needed to make me feel as hopeless as you were. To the people who voted no towards same *** marriage but watch girl on girl **** I’m sorry my love is only okay when it’s for your pleasure. I’m sorry that you have such a skewed view on life that you see women as objects and not as people. I would forgive you but I don’t think you’d fess to your wrongdoing to be forgiven. There is nothing to forgive if someone won’t admit that they are wrong. I’m twenty three now and I’m still not sorry for writing love poems about beautiful girls. I have stopped apologizing for being something that I’m proud of. I no longer hide behind my assumed heterosexuality. I proudly proclaim my attraction to women because I spent too many years being ashamed of being in love. I will never again sweep hatred under the rug to keep peace. I have never needed your approval for my love to be valid and I never will.

I am the sounding of your alarm and the ringing of your bells I am worth it, I am divine I am the current that sweeps you away and the breeze that fills your mind The sunlight casts a shadow on all of your wrongdoing; you are the most beautiful black sin Forgive me not for my slumber, wake me not when you find me Fill me with your benevolence, nurture me on your Earth The surface is slick and clean, and I am the dirtiest of the sea Forgive me not for my sins, I will be washed away in the end I see you while you eat I see you while you sleep I will see you in every single one of your dreams This life is a labyrinth for those of you who wish to be What a shame it is to believe I am every little thing you live, I am every little thing you breathe I will be there when your curtain drops I will be the only one you see

The Most Beautiful Black
Watch out, or you will find that you're On President Trump's Enemies List, For democratic values and Donald Trump cannot coexist. Former CIA Director John Brennan, now has learned That when it comes to silencing critics, Trump will leave no stone unturned. After hearing Brennan's critical Words, the angry Trump was stewing. Bam! He revoked Brennan's security Clearance despite no wrongdoing. The crazed, vindictive leader called John Brennan's behavior "erratic." Muzzling the freedom of speech, Trump's Becoming more autocratic. The office of the presidency Has never, ever been sullied so. This vicious attack on our First Amendment Rights is a terrible blow. Trump accused Brennan of making "Baseless charges." Real translation: Brennan didn't hail Trump With sycophantic adoration. On Trump's list are others who Might lose clearances as well. Here his lack of integrity And pettiness have no parallel. Another motive for Trump's action Is more diabolical yet: He wants to strip the power away From all people who might be a threat Because of their connection to The Russia probe. That makes sense. As more dots are being connected, The situation is growing tense. While servile Republicans in Congress Defend their despotic president, Let Brennan's powerful words Resound: "I will not relent." -by Bob B (8-16-18)

an unholy verse ("Bad And Boujee" hook parody) [remade into another poem]
Its every man for himself Humanity has unresolved issues Usually I take the brunt Of every wrongdoing Because Apparently its always me We all know One day We shall perish Leaving behind A legacy How you choose To remember me or Someone else Is your choice But.. If we all are to perish Why not quicken up This process That can take A whole century.. Why not quicken it??

Its one for oneself
*Let us run freely hand in hand    in Elysian fields of resplendent grass, where tranquil existence lies       beyond skies of incertitude          whence ambiguity doesn't rhyme, and empathy's rapport  plays in the hearts   of all those who cherish the melody of peace,       swimming in rivers of abundant harmony     and dance 'pon the ether of communion's serenity* "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field,                                             I'll meet you there...."  Rumi

Elysian fields of resplendent grass
I love the world I hate the world I love friends I hate friends The world is a friend to committing righteousness The world is a friend to committing wrongdoing. I want to live in this world I want to live out of this world I want to be an aliens to a lunar circle I want to be far from solar circle

We better be better by doing greatness
a man is not a boy who tells his female classmates she cant play football because she is a she he doesn't tell a girl that her favorite color cant be blue because it is a boys color a man is not a boy because a man does not whistle when a pretty girl walks by doesn’t shout a comment at a woman simply going for a run a man is not a boy because a man does not make a woman the punchline to their sick jokes real men do not victimize themselves for their own wrongdoing real men know how to follow the bare minimum real men know how to act know how to coexist with a female and woman appreciate real men.

a man is not a boy
You slip out of bed beside me Red satin sheets caress my skin The blinds are barely open Allowing lines of sunlight in "Don't go" I beg my heartfelt plea As you begin to dress You kneel upon the bed-top My face your hand caressed "I have to go, you know the deal" You say as my heart pains The heavens feel my sorrow and cry As it begins to rain "Couldn't you tell him something To allow for one more night I'll love you like no other has Our hearts entwined in flight." You look into my eye so sweetly Then slowly look away "I wish that we could be together" Your ruby lips did say "Then leave that man tomorrow And together we will be I'll shower you with a love so deep To make you marry me." "That won't do!" she softly sighed As a tear fell from her eye "Our love will never be the same We would only live a lie." "What do you mean?" I asked her My mind emblazoned with stress "There's no love like we have right now This I must confess" "The love is spawned from wrongdoing It fuels our passions fire If we belonged to each other Our love would lose desire." "No matter what you tell me There's no words that you can say That will make me leave the man at home And come to you to stay." "This is a love that completes me Because it's birthed from bad It's the most amazing feeling of love The best I've ever had." "If you can accept the way I feel I will come back very soon The most that I can promise you Is from midnight until noon." The rain started to pour...

Love of Infidelity
Watching all of my imperfections and insecurities trickle down the drain Along with dirt from sweat and water from the rain Every ***** thought and wrongdoing being washed away forever Until the next time I look in the mirror and try to run away from my past Perspiration forms on my forehead the further I get from where I used to be I try to build muscle by carrying the weight of what lies in front of me My body exudes salt water while I play a pickup game with present times; trying to figure out which way to go and decide the best move to get by each defender I only feel clean again after I take a shower I shower at night to go to bed with a clean slate only to wake up in need of another The morning shower opens my eyes to the obvious things I was previously blind to I walk around in the sludge created by society as if my skin isn’t dark enough they feel the need to cover me in mud Rainfalls of title educated tries to fix me up only the mud is too thick and I’m not exposing my true self yet Until I get home to shower again I feel like myself again after I take a shower

I do not want to play in your garden of Eden Pluck the sweet cherry apple from your tree, Full it with the white christ evil that fills our core. I do not want to play in your garden But to walk naked with his creatures of all colours, sizes, identities and terms And marvel at our beauty. Princess, With your pink hair and overgrown beard, You are Eden’s finest. Who are they to say what is beautiful? We are slaves in our garden of Eden, Swimming in her curves. We are not to touch her Though we are evil creatures of moral standards and consciousness. Ebony came and stole with it our ability of doing things without reward. Firmly grasped by whats right and wrong yet still, We want to destroy her gaze with our rotting fruit. There was ****** in the Garden of Eden, Slaughtered puppets who steal the night with misheard approval and labels. Child, you are not a bad person for wanting something that they did not. The lion is not the devil for killing the deer. He is not filled with vile for kissing the creature with death. Though we will say it was evil as we pluck the fur from his mane and wear it around our shoulders We are the makers of The Garden of Eden and its slavery. We full its nucleus with verdict and creed. Enslaved men with torn backs and sable, now cover their backs in suits and ties, Still whipped. Hang our bones in a science room and teach the children where it hurts Do you think greatness dies young because the earth got jealous of its beauty? How is it we spend our lives miserable and thoughtful when the others spend their days chasing bees and lapping up rivers? How is it we know so much about wrongdoing and yet the doing we do is so wrong? I have played in your garden of Eden, And I have let the labels loiter my mind with judgement. I have felt ashamed of my Fathers illness for that would make him weak And felt disabled as a woman for no want of children and marriage. Yes God, I have faced your garden, tasted the sweet nectar from your tree and sinned in the eyes of Eden.

It's done, this darkness is so fun, why are you doing this? Reaching that fateful separation, anger like a loaded gun, collecting every regret under the ******* sun, and will erode your soul in the long run. False claims fill your veins, multiplying your pains. These sadistic pleasures are not real, they're just as hollow as they make you feel. Desperately I troll for truths in the recesses of my mind but only wrongdoing do I find, realizing at the same time that I'm half blind. Sparks fly, the air is thick and yet dry, acrid smoke, windows break, hateful streaks with manic heartbeats, aggression is high get in the plane it's time to fly. A smile... I admit this is true, hands shaking, yes I'm aware of what they do, am I a psychopath in the making? You better figure out what to do, because the horrors weighing down on you have begun to bleed through. Open your eyes as the world shrivels and dies. Reality justified by lies, but even as your falsehood will rise please can't you see, violence will never set you free. Escape bears no small fee because you knew it was without guarantee. Brewed with hate life is bent, boiling you away until all decency is spent. Invisible fingers pry and I don't know why, there's people asking me questions so I must lie. Horns howl and sirens wail, what kind of person will prevail? Staring at the reinforced concrete wall, I realize the final chapter wasn't written after all.

I must caution you, Against a world lacking conflict. A wold enveloped in Continual peace is hell. Without suffering, Without anger, There is no passion. A world wothout conflict Is a wold lacking the beauty of sacrifice The love of conviction The satisfaction of righting a wrong. I must caution you, Without wrongdoing, without war There is no peace Just Consistancy.

Peace Warning
*In the gravityless field Like a dusty bursting cloud We begin In the southern Milky Way You decide to collapse with my day In a binary pair system You and I go astray In a distance within a cluster We gravitate in a mutual orbit With wrongdoing and rightdoing we linger But the fire decides to stay As our heat moves outward Our hidden affair expands We use up all our love fuel Like a high star mass we explode A supernovae self destroyed Leaving a neutron star to our end*

The Main Sequence
The president of the United States is Donald Trump and under his presidency the country is in a slump. Could it be because of the way it has been managed with all of the scandal and divisiveness seen to jump? The style of politics that a leader in office exhibits determines the country's fate that enables or prohibits its people to aspire to their true potential and glory which is why the current situation is one that inhibits. It's much better to face the truth than hide behind a mask of one who doesn't take responsibility for their own task that's performed in such a way, blaming everyone else for everything that goes wrong, in deception does bask. Abuse of power often comes with the way one is elected if the people themselves have of their leader so detected; and asked to stand before them to face their suspicions, when there's any evidence of wrongdoing to be inspected. One is reminded of the saying that goes something like this given by Abraham Lincoln perhaps to describe the time of his own presidency that encountered strong opposition in the past of the country's history that was so far from being one of bliss: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” ― Abraham Lincoln It must be really hard for anyone to live under constant media scrutiny with the social unrest sparked by a needless death bordering on mutiny together with all the media reports about issues, the country's in a mess; the forthcoming elections will tell which way it'll go to regain stability. ___________________

it's easy to become lost within one's self. picking apart one's skin until old scars are ripped open. but you bring me back. god, do you bring me back. your lips write me, like a poem. your hands right me, like an old wrongdoing. even when my blood has spilled onto the floor, like ink to paper. even when i cry, 'i have been alone!' you bring me back. scars will heal. but their mark will remain. i tell you this, again and again. but when my scars threaten to open, and time travel to the past is like an echo- it's so **** repetitive, you bring me back. god, do you bring me back.

The wind brushed my cheek A feeling I wish I could forever keep In days of despair And no one who cared I go back to that moment Praying for atonement Atonement never came There was only sorrow and shame Till the wind brushed my cheek again And for that moment I prayed for something more splendor That moment is forever tender Like the key of a piano The voice of a soprano I wish the moment would never leave I wish that moment could never succeed The days that were about to come When all I would have is *** Drunken days God doesn't pay For our wrongdoing Or beer that wont stop brewing I'll never forget the contentment of that moment I could have sworn I was the proponent For all sins and bad deeds

brushed
i recall the soft touch of your hand on my infant cheek-- so delicate in the moment, but so menacing later on. i recall the warmth of your skin as it comforted my shaking hand-- so calm in the moment, but so frightening later on. i recall the sweetness of your smile as it had shone its luminescent glow upon me-- so beautiful in the moment, but so unsettling later on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i can't quite understand why you no longer hold my hand. see, you have a light touch so full of love, that it could burst at any moment-- giving way to something sour. i don't see the reason for you to make my eyelids change color every season. see, i have bruises like silk and blood like milk-- your emotions could drink it all in one sitting. i don't understand why my heart still beats if the scale of my wrongdoing is so grand. see, i have a droplet of hope, but it falls into an ocean of fear

soft touch / bruises like silk
There are volumes and volumes on the subject of love As ancient as time are the poems and the books and the plays that have inspired us all to desire such love Some of it seems so lofty or unrealistic to be experienced That kind of love seems unobtainable, unreachable and truly false It only satisfies the heart like cotten candy, sweet to take in but not fulfilling On the other hand, some love tales are filled with heartache, with a desired love never achieved, or unfairly thwarted, but always hungered and thirsted after, like life-giving sustenance to feast upon, for love seems to be the needed remedy to prevent us just from existing   for the sake of existing    With so much that has been presented in all kinds of art forms on the subject of love, I often am saddened as to why there is such the lack of it in our world, in the real world, which is a place in which our fantasies collide Hollywood love is often our guide in our modern world and I have often fallen for it and could not get enough of it, like a drug that I craved But how much of it seems so selfish and hypocritical, such a mirage and a hoax? Is not love more than an emotion? Is not love more than what "I" can get out of it? Yes, this kind of love I find repulsive and cheap and hallow and cold What I am writing about may not inspire the heart to feel tingly, for we have all been taught that love is only this way, when all is good, and all is perfect as to two beautiful people entwined in love's rapture I now know differently There are those dying a slow death from a lack of love and they may not even know they are mortally wounded Others may know they need more love than what the world often brags about, yet live a life of quiet desperation They may feel unworthy of it They may hide from it and avoid it They may not be very enjoyable to be around to invite others to love them But they need it anyway just like everyone else Like one needs air basic water, food and shelter to live we all need love I am not just talking about others, although I've observed it, personally But I have suffered my share of droughts often suffered that disease myself I do not admit it proudly for it is a horrible feeling of shame that I wish never, ever to feel again How I often longed for something that did not seem obtainable Or how I felt that I was not worthy to take in such love I also have to admit my wrongdoing in reaching out How guilty I have been to not offer a smile, a kind word, or a sympathetic ear to someone in desperate need of it Too rapped up in my own problems So I challenge myself, for I know how it feels to wish to experience love in a more pure form from above Not what I can get out of it but how I can bless another If the whole world was to truly love the way God meant for us to do, we would all be saturated in its gift and the ugly disease from the lack of love would be no more

For all the mistakes I’ve ever, I’m sorry For every equation, mathematical explanation For every wrongdoing and in shoeing and for every left turn I ever made, I’m sorry. For forgiveness, I am sorry For apologies sake, I am sorry I was born in sickness and from the moment I walked I felt Atlas’ burden on my shoulders I am selfish, I am unruly, I am forgotten and regretted and in debt to the people who reached out to me I am moving forward, starting backwards, put my arms around my head for I am shattered I have a heart with an empty home and clichéd voice with whose words I yell, I roam a lonely earth and put arms around my head, my mind in fact, for I am shattered. A race of humankind I cannot love nor relate to and I feel like I relate to you but lately I feel as if I’m drifting backward And not to say I’d like to move away from you but what else can I do when life is moving me backward And backward, and backward and like a future so pre determined I feel as if no choice is now my own and no choice is ever free will No cosmic force would remember me and I am sorry I do not want to be something you forget and you’ve always told me I am something you remember. In a shade of cobalt blue or a burning red or a golden yellow, I want to be a colour you cannot describe A taste you yearn for, a smell whose memory remains But all the same, I want to disappear. I am sorry in terms long over due for all the things I do and have not done yet because you don’t deserve their scorn and yet I cannot leave them behind for parts of me for which you fell for remain inside me, and always will. I am sorry for who I am and choices made and I will always be here whenever you decide the pieces I can’t leave behind are pieces that you cannot forget. I’m sorry, my makeups both genetic and aesthetic are not pieces I enjoy or wish would stay a little longer And for this I am sorry, and all in good time I will make up for all the sorries given, driven, laid to rest here in these words. I am sorry for things you don’t deserve.
