woe to the womb
ZL Nov 2014
The damage has been done,
the curse from the sun,
fear replaces fun,
nothing chases her
but still she runs.

The damage has set in,
the curse of sin
running from the places she's been,
unsure of new friends
tired but there for her daunting kin.

The damage has infected the body,
and she can't tell anybody
won't trust nobody,
who can help? nobody
knock, knock!
whose there? just me.

I went looking for the devil
and found me.

I went looking for freedom
and found captivity.

I went looking for love
and found misery.

I stopped searching,
and found everything!

You said I never hug you,

You claim I never care,

but you never kiss me,

still, my affections I wanted to share.

I took the heart off my sleeve

and gave it to you to wear.

Because, since day one,

I've loved you *teddy bear

I want to quit,
Sick and tired
I ain’t never satisfied!

I said I was okay,
I think I lied.
I was never satisfied.

Born with an open heart
Vulnerability stretched far and wide
Highs and lows; never satisfied

Too much confusion in her mind
Too much pride, humility died
Rest              in                    Peace

To she, who was never satisfied!

The Quiet Ones
ZL Nov 2014
Quiet people have the most amazing stories to tell
for they have mastered the art of observing very well
While others seem ready & reckless
patient ones pay great attention to detail!

Live fast, die young!
Oh cautious one, steady but slow as a snail
the peace in your soul shall take you high
floating to heaven, flying over hell!

A Wrong Turn
ZL Nov 2014
And the days have become long
Fast world
Fast talkers
A girl has become grown.

And the days have become long
Fragile body
Fragile mind
Soul has become strong.

And the days have become long
Need of a friend
Need of a savoir
Good people are gone.

And the days have become long
Please return brother
I’ve grown weary in doing right
This route called life has proven to be a turn wrong.

Ho Story
ZL Oct 2014
She never feels apart
until her legs are far apart.

she never belongs
until her body is strecthed out long.

she never wants company
until it is gone.

heart is where the home...
strangers break in with sticks and stones.

she never feels all there
until her love has has it's fair share.

unconsciously *** and love has become a chore
reckless routine of a foolish little *****.

deeper than the skies
is the mystery of her eyes

deeper than the ocean
is the dance of her walk in motion

deeper than the wild

deeper than the depths of the universe, falling in love
with such a girl is yet, but a blessing and a curse...

Love is patient
Love is kind

boys are precious
but I admire time

Love is patient

I aways wait  too long
for wonders and signs

Love is patient
Love is kind*

between my thighs is a slow burn
with a impulsive mind

I need love, but I lack patience
and I want to get mine...

During the day I try to act as if it's not true

Night comes, my mind wanders, and it always finds you

My insides burn with passion, hot flashes of things we should do

be patient with my skills, this task is still new

but soon, my worries will become few

Once you fall in my arms, caught up in love *too

Demons come out to dance at night
All eyes on them, as they enter the spotlight

Darkness inhabits every space
Only two dull eyes shine on my black face

I’m forced to witness what they call entertainment
Waste of focus, energy poorly spent

I’m tired of the fights and the arguments
I close my eyes, I can no longer handle it!

bags in his hand
a studious man
standing in the doorway
"what do you want from me?"

loss for words,
nothing to say
silence made him leave
but I wanted him to stay

I was taught to ask for nothing
even if I needed something
my thoughts were loud
but my voice was too proud

*Can you love me, please?"

Take me Home
ZL Sep 2014
To go unnoticed for so long
makes you think it won't be so wrong,
to disappear, to be gone.

To be alive and feel dead
makes life seem strange
inside your head.

To hear you're loved
but feel the opposite
makes you feel not meant.

Time wasted,
energy spent
people you begin to resent.

they say let it go
but it's difficult
when it's the only life you know.

Signs
ZL Sep 2014
the sadness of the eyes is always the first sign

the second is an apparent lack of care

thirdly, feelings they no longer share

then, they neglect their health

lastly, they accept their death.
ZL Sep 2014
In the darkness without sunlight
In a drought without water
not from soil,
but from hard, cold, filthy concrete.
Many doubted,
but a bud had sprouted.

Despite neglect,
a rose beautifully grew
she never lost hope
faith in him she always knew
the discovery was unexplainable
especially since that rose became you.

they tell me to come out and play
but I like it in my head
it's safer this way.

they want more of me
they claim, it's not enough
poker faces, I still don't bluff.

I was once in danger, with no place to go
but my imagination was there
now's it's all I know.

what they don't see is, I like my fantasy world;
it allows me to be free,
reality brings too much misery.

the blood of bulls
runs through my body
anger, sadness,
and confusion,
swim throughout my cells

miles away my friend
cries tears into wishing wells
she too is slowly dying,
her faith has gone astray
strength is slipping away

selfish me
full of life unhappily
dying to get to heaven
living in hell

selfless her
dreading heaven
desiring hell
dying of sickle cell.

Stole his love from within.

A libras spell,
He turned pale.

His soul had left his body.

I wanted to give him back his life, CPR maybe?
His struggle for air drove me crazy!

But a voice told me not to bother,
cuz this was the normal reaction for a fish out of water.
