With every clumsy person who accidentally looked into my eyes.
ZL Nov 2015
Satan or cupid must hate me
they blind every lover that I see
beautiful eyes never notice me..

days and nights I remain lonely
I grow tired of trying
sleeves wet from crying..

accepting the fact that no one is mines

and may never be....
*yes, love hates me
ZL Nov 2015
That Heaven is for real
ZL Apr 2016
I waste so much time
it should be crime.
hole in pockets
I'm worth a dime.
social media to watch others shine.
I need a hobby that pays,
I'm not lying.
ZL Sep 2015
I wish when you drank
you could be happy.

I'm afraid when you drink,
because you get snappy.

At first you dance,
then cry because your life is ******.

If you're sad, why shouldn't I be?
after all, you're the woman that had me.

Soon, I cry and drink too,
like mother like daughter, I do what you do.

a one night stand laced with pain and passion
I was bore
drugs have stunted my growth once before.

when I feel down.
I desire a high.
Dreams say hello.
Reality says goodbye.

My addiction grew and grew
Until I reached you.
A figment of my imagination
A relief I never really knew.

drugs have stunted my growth once before
but I want to live now
and **** myself no more.
ZL Aug 2016
I have shared my love with too many thieves
I wear my scars like a tattoo sleeve

I have shared my body with too many beasts
blood, sweat, and tears on my bedroom sheets

I have given things that I did not have
now I need purification, a sinners bath

I have lost count of partners and dates
now I choose to love myself, I hope it's not too late
ZL Aug 2016
how am I to survive
when I don't feel alive

how am I to breathe
when my life has never been a breeze

how am  I to relax
when my soul is under attack

how am I to have peace
when I'm never at ease

How can I appreciate the sun
when all I know is rain

*why oh why God must I be in pain?
ZL Sep 2015
I wanted you close
but I pushed you away.

I wanted you forever
but you didn't stay.

I wanted to love you,
but broke your heart.

I warned you I was trouble from the start.

I wanted this love to never end
but it was over, before it began.

The things I desired most
were nothing but a joke.

For you to accept my faulty love was my only hope.
ZL Nov 2017
days have passed without your face
I wonder who will take my place
through my mind you run, a fast pace
my heart is yours if you win this race

lust is the only thing in those streets
I pray for love, I play for keeps
I fell for you, a reckless leap
tell me you want me, don't be discreet!
ZL Jul 2016
lust has become my job
its makes me sing
as sin makes me sob.

for love, bodies I rob
hit after hit
I belong to the mob.

lust has become a game
not playing is crazy
the end is truly insane.

A beautiful beast
they all want to tame
all for fun, all for fame.
ZL Jan 2015
I try so hard to reach the hot pits of my soul

Where passion, pleasure, and pain go

My inner secrets and fears I deserve to know

But every chance I get, I ignorantly blow...
ZL Nov 2015
I thought I was brave
I was not.
I was afraid,
to touch you,
to look into your dangerous eyes,
to call you mine.
Afraid you would see through my lies,
of getting my heart ripped apart.
I was insecure from the very start,
because I am just a diposable toy
to someone like you, a bad boy.
ZL Aug 2015
past  midnight
my body and soul at fight

1am
I realize how sick I am

at 2
I fantasize about sexing you

at 3
I imagine things you can do to me

at 4
I'm still not sleep
still not bored

at five
I close my eyes

6am til 11
wet dreams appear
too explicit for Heaven

at 12 I'm up and about
licking my lips
hoping this day I can taste your mouth.
ZL May 2014
to be young and beautiful
is desperate and dumb!
to have it all
to get nothing, none!
to need it bad
anxiously wanting some.

sleepless nights,
dreams of ***!
pain is
promiscuity at bedrest.
angry abstinence shouts
this is a cruel test!

pretty doll face,
glowing of grace.
why have this body?
and not share its joy
why be a good ol' girl
If you cannot love a handsome bad boy?
Young and Beautiful meets Black Beauty
ZL Nov 2015
I've had the chance to be a mother
but, I passed.

Instead I gave birth to an emotion,
and named her sad.
ZL Jun 2014
I
lost
my
love
when
he
found
my
heart
ZL Apr 2014
Not even ***

Nor love

I just need a hug
ZL May 2014
afraid to look into your eyes
I might just see your soul
afraid of intimacy
my secrets you will know

either way

something will happen
that was not intended
love is blind;
so don't be offended
ZL Apr 2014
The touch of your hand
Makes my heart stand
The piercing of your eyes
Screams ***!
Passion cries.
The smell of your words
Was the last scent
I heard
A lover of your kind
Should pay my prudence
Little mind
I’ll bathe in your dirt
As you enjoy
My clean rinse
Together we
Shall awaken
Our sixth sense !
ZL Jun 2014
One day I walked the long way home.

In the chill of October, all alone.
Tears had cooled, wind had blown.

Still, she knew something was wrong.
She asked, I answered. My hurt was known.

I saw his mugshot today, his soul was gone.
ZL Apr 2014
I never understood
Why people loved ******
many men they love
plenty women adored
Apathetic anger
I never appreciated
Your ability
To ****** strangers
You made me love you too
now my dignity is in danger
ZL Sep 2015
I met a new man
he left a run in the seam
of my knee highs

he's a good guy
keeps me warm and cozy inside
he thinks it's cute when I'm mad

he's tall, dark, and handsome!
I've even given him the house key
I call him Jim, others call him whiskey.
ZL May 2014
On the hunt for love
i nearly died
i became precious prey
to violent predators
with my body
they had their way.

I slipped
through the grips
of fierce savages
but I did not escape
their attacks unscratched
burdens and battle wounds
now cover my back.

Still, I wiped my tears
and nurtured my burns
from the wild fire I grew
hard lessons i learned
back then I had faith
but unbelief happenened
and hate became my fate.
ZL Jun 2015
A million times a day
I sit on the bridge, over the bay
asking what if life is just some sick game?
then I hear a voice saying
"Why don't you stop playing?"
ZL Apr 2021
Black bodies from the grave will have their day.
Future inheritance and bloodlines,
Their grieved souls will slay.
Visits to evil racist their unrest spirits will pay.
Black ****** is a game racists win and play.
Karma may seem slow,
But she never forgets her way.
When she gets to America,
She's welcome to stay.
ZL Jan 2014
A child resides
Inside my soul
Lies told, truth known
Insides my eyes
A child cries
Truth be told
The woman lies
As the child dies
ZL May 2021
It's okay to be chosen
or not to be.

We all have eyes,
but only a few will see.

It's okay to be bound,
but plan to get free.

Have mercy on you,
grace for me.

Roses the color of your kisses
Lipstick I wiped from my face

Now I check to see,
If they are still tattooed
In that very place

I simply miss them
Because they came from
you

The only person,
Whose love was ever
true
ZL Oct 2015
In the midst
of giving every man
a piece of me,
I lost the peace in me.

In the moment
of finding myself
I became helpless,
I needed help.

Thinking a man
could help me become a woman,
I lost my dignity,
blind to who I should really be loving.

Question,

what can make
such beautiful
souls corrupt?

Life answers.

A fairytale without a happy ending is you

The best part of a story that I never knew

a fact that was never true

incomplete riddle without a clue

I'm a female poet whose never been in love

Men will always be my *blues
ZL Mar 2021
Ebony skin,
I bet there's paradise within.
Mocha kissed,
Your presence is pure bliss.
Brown sugar scent,
You look like time well spent.
Caramel lover,
I crave you like no other.
Chocolate milk,
You look soft as silk.
Melanin beauty,
I sure hope you choose me.

On Life support...
Greedy, I keep on breathing.
But, life is faster,
she keeps on leaving.

Heart keeps beating..
Like someone cares!
Where was this energy,
with the love I tried to share?

I'm losing and for once,
I don't care to win.
Do me a favor,
don't let me be BORN again...
ZL Feb 2021
The aftershock of love
Always shakes me the hardest.
I pushed you away
Now you've gone the farthest.

A delay in reaction
Is usually my action.
Divided two hearts,
Down to the lowest fraction.

Forgive me most
for I'm usually on time
I ran out of excuses,
Leaving you on my mind.
ZL Jun 2016
at 25 I wait to die
family and friends are worried,
they ask me why?
teardrops have run dry
frozen emotion won't let me cry
I say I'll try
but that's a lie
so long my loves
this is bye. bye. bye.
lord have mercy
my. my. my
ZL Oct 2017
send tingles down my spine
can I call you mine?
kiss my skin
can I let you in?

caress my curves
ease my nerves
make me moan
such a beautiful tone

tickle my secrets
their yours, will you keep it?
it's been too long since I felt this sensation
park your body in my remote location.
ZL Sep 2014
thinking in the past

only wastes time

energy and thought

lectures; my friends preach about.

For those moments of us are gone

But, tell me you do it too

that I won't feel so alone.

so I can continue to gloat on.

in misery of a kidnapped heart

bound at your home.
ZL Sep 2014
if my purpose was to live
my job has not begun.

if my purpose is to die.
my job here is done.

the world tells me to have fun;
but I feel nothing; I've grown numb.

may death come soon;
MAY KINGDOM COME!
ZL Mar 2014
Secrets it hold
Truth be told
Emotional notes
Feelings wrote
Thoughts were sad
Wanting you bad
Warm heart
Cold start
My crush I admire
Tired of erasing
This desire
ZL May 2014
maybe we were never meant to be.

maybe you did once love me.

it's that 50% chance

of uncertainity


that fail my relationships

Miserably.
ZL Nov 2015
I want to drift far away
into an endless day.

escape tomorrow
and all its sorrow.

but instead i stay here
because death too,

is something i fear.
ZL Jun 2014
With your cool sunglasses
And skinny pales *****
You sit behind the shade
Sour faces great for lemonade
And judge us all!

I fake drown to see your reaction
Off your high horse you fall
To my satisfaction, you're not a hero
And, to think people look up to you?
You're not even that tall!!
ZL Oct 2015
I think I have my answer*

This feeling has spread from
my head to my bed
like cancer.

I keep lying to myself
and breaking more hearts
creating makeshift sparks.

When all alone
you were the only light I ever needed
in the dark.
ZL Oct 2015
while the others boys lied
about their emotions
he held me and together we cried.

sometimes we both wonder
what life would be like if we died.
both young, both tired.

Afraid of my luck,
I was ready to give up

he said baby don't worry
I told him I needed him bad, please hurry!!!

He convinced me to keep trying,
saying he would protect me forever

he was telling the truth
he was my LION.
ZL Jun 2014
driving toward the rain
going east
bridge over water
expecting peace

driving toward the rain
dragging my past
racing my demons
going fast!

before me
is a welcoming rainbow
waving for me to play
so closer I go

enjoying the thrill I feel
not fantasy, it's real
high stakes
adventures ****

driving toward the storm
is a death wish to some
but I'm different
& I'm going!
ZL Sep 2016
woman was not made to be alone
on her own faking to be strong.

woman was not made to *******
such a thing as ******* requires a mate.

woman was not made to cry in solitude
for comfort on his shoulder is true soul food.

woman was not made for this world
for men prey on and devour innocent little girls.
ZL Sep 2014
they told her to live a little
and she did.

a lil ****
a lil squeeze

pop a pill
cop a  feel

for some liquor
boys could freak her

a lil ***
a lil head
***/AIDS
now she dead.

they told her to live a little
so she did.*

she didn't know better
she was just a kid.
ZL Aug 2016
when I'm here or there
I wish to go home
but at home, I'm alone.

when I'm with you,
I wish you were gone
but when you are gone, I feel so alone.

songs play on the radio for so long
sweet melodies excite my lonesome bones,
but even enjoying music I am still alone.
ZL Nov 2014
forever on the run,

so many places to escape to under the sun.

forever on the run,

Heaven awaits me

I'm dying to come.
