masked reality
Have you heard the word of dreaming sense
where every poison gets a cure
where each and many other steps
find a solution into the pure
help is needed by some hope
but believing in a smarter trace
within the precious doubled scope
of perspectives of unbroken space
where every poison gets a cure
where each and many other steps
find a solution into the pure
help is needed by some hope

Untitled (Shakes)
How did we arrive at a place were we have no love for each other
No compassion
No empathy
The refigerator is empty
And cold
Letting go of the handle
No matter how many times we've Been to the alter
Why are we still broken?
Sing praises
Shouting loud
Being uplifted and only he can see
Did someone brush his calling off of me by a casually touch?
When will love arise again
I've sacrificed more than I wanted to
This Foundation is awaiting restoration
How many times do we have to go to the alter before you fix us
Have...

ATTENTION WHORE
ATTENTION WHORE
Turns out I been lied to for a long time
Life does not just work itself out
Things eventually falling into place
Is shit people say when they dont believe enough to put it in Gods hands
And those who put it on the lords plate
Are those who cant carry the weight
How fast the fun fades with age
But I know I heard right
I remember what I was told
And the only truth I seem to find
Is it does warm up after being cold
But everybody having a soulmate
That might be false hope that makes us all buy in
And being...

Love conquers All ?
Love conquers all,
Or does it just faciilitate a hedonistic fall?
Maybe I am too bitter,
To change,
My philosophy is flawed,
From years of reckless contemplation,
Damned for renewed visions,
Cultural warlords bellow their dissapproval,
I cup my heart in defiance,
Knowing emotions run free,
Like deer amidst savanah sunsets,
I repent against the Storms,
Torn between tradition and inspired visions,
Truth and accepted wisdom,
...

Hey! Where are You?
Delights of squeals and squeaks
Arms thrown wide thus my neck
She loves this movie’s start
My heart, my lust, my love,
Her girl’s laugh, her excite,
All balled in convict clowns’
Hobo candy mountains.
Arms thrown wide thus my neck
She loves this movie’s start
My heart, my lust, my love,
Her girl’s laugh, her excite,

Taught
Her silence, speaks
Deep dark voice
I begin to understand
She taught, I learned
She taught me
What, and
How long
Patience means
She taught me
Why today’s patience
Worth better tomorrow
and, tomorrow will come
Someday

She taught, I learned

Wasting Time
You try too hard
words put out on display
but fail to initiate
reason or rhyme
just wasting of time
you lead up the cliche parade
twirling your tophat and baton
filling pomp without circumstance
swinging with a very simplistic con
you try to hard, I see
to impress with an enigmatic woe
clueless, in a one man egotistical show
simplistic conceptions implied
another poetess
denied

When Tears No Longer Fall
When Tears No Longer Fall
I try to cry but the tears just will not fall
I want to talk to you but you no longer call
When someone hurts you it hurts me worse
My eyes are now like a deserted thirst
I still feel the pain deep inside of my heart
Though I know you think of me not when we are apart
I wait by my phone but I never from you get a text
I wait for you to come to me but I am never next
My eyes burn like the sand on the desert floor
Just when I think I do not want to cry I want...

Forgive Me
Forgive me baby
I just can’t help it
since I’ve slid into your lead
It’s not an unruly game
we know it so well since it began
and you’ve taught me how
How to love and how to grow
Grow patience to pay more attention
There isn’t an easy excuse
for me to refuse
I ponder but still confuse
why no one’s gonna teach me
how not to look at your beauty
how not to love you as much
I hope I won’t love you such
but you have to excuse me
I just can’t help it
whenever you appear
I...

reasons not to be like prince harry
reasons not to be like prince harry 24.06.18
i don't have much money
still as happy as larry
5 million is sweet like honey
not magnum firing at dirty harry.
you are all sheep
no balls of steel proudly
obsession is the creep
pack mentality is cowardly.
be smart and clean
so others eyes are not doomed
self obsession is just obscene
its as bad as being poetry groomed.
226 percent rise in beard oil
while dropping nine percent the razor called
now the truth to foil
shaving as more hair on chin then head as one...

WITCH!
Raise holy fire your spirit’s proof
And hold to faith that heaven’s Judge
Eternity your soul command
J’accuse! with 13 women found
in midnight light held Satan’s feast
*to gain the herbs that heal and mend*
J’accuse! that in your devil’s curse
And hex you froze the farmer’s arm
*with spider bite the beatings stopped*
J’accuse! plying young maids such tales
Of love ribald corrupt their souls
*that from such both may pleasure take*
J’accuse! that from first mother’s birth
The baby steal as...
