in the orchard
edit 1:
in the orchard
with softened palm
fingers lightly curled
i weigh the fruit of other minds
take note of curve
dimple, scent and heft
small blemishes and bloom
as imagination bites
i drool, wonder
why oh why
can't i grow
fruit like this?
all thanks to suggestions, especially ahavati :rose:
'bloom', here, is the sort of powdery deposits on the skin of the fruit; i left it where it was as i feel it creates the line-length i wanted, ties sound-wise with 'drool', and...

Father of Lies
Father of Lies
Obsessing over your looks by staring blankly into a mirror
wondering how anyone finds you attractive and conclude their opinions must be made in error.
A pimple here, a pimple there, you wish your skin was much more clear.
The wrinkles forming underneath your eyes tell you that you are getting uglier with each passing year.
You grab a knife and gently press it against your face.
You smile and laugh manically since your mind convinces you you are nothing more than a disgrace.
You press the knife harder against your skin wanting to...

Guard
They told me that i never seem
To let my guard down
I told them that its there to stay
Only snakes want you venerable
So They stay away
Now im alone in my zone
And its best this way
i was born by my fuckin self
Anyway
Anyway
Ima leave the same way i came
Fuck the world if it burn
Nigga let it blaze ...

Stop chasing dreams
My sister told me to follow my dreams
but growing up my nightmares were really just following me
I wish she would have told me "how you live today will affect the rest of your life,
why you keep doing wrong if you know it ain't right?"
So before I die I'm gonna speak up for what I believe in
Cuz I struggled too long for it to be for no reason
Every battle I've fought I went to war on my own
Every demon I conquered I did it alone
So if it makes you happy no-one else's opinion should matter
Your life is your book you decide who you want in...

SICK
I called in sick to work today;
Sometimes that’s not so bad.
My head is stuffy;
My body’s achy;
My hands and legs are kinda shaky.
My eyes are weary and sort of blurry.
My sinuses, too, have started hurting.
My nose is dripping; my stomach bloated.
My cheeks, in fact, are kinda swollen.
With that, I called in sick.
I thought the average flu for sure.
Who wouldn’t with what I’ve got?
But something told me it was more than that
When I turned the TV on.
There were riots in Virginia.
There was looting in New...

Evolution
I used to be like she hurt me so deep
Now im unearthly i be like if it hurts then its sweet.
My version of showing love is similar to Elmer fuds version of speach
Expressions r swapped for Ws
Meaning im winnin meaning im givin
Less than a Effin shit about
Something bwoken
Welationships eventually sink
I stay afloat by keeping my cowe locked
Up in a chest thats stwong enough to ...

Found myself bullshiting.
I was hiding.
Inbetween opposite energies colliding.
The force molded my body, shaped my heart and mind now im distorted an object that dont belong here.
Outcast coasting the bayou.
Bitch im alive!!!
Feinstein with a boner,
A delinquents mind zoning
Humming a song
"I PENT YOU DOWN I HEARD YOU SCREAM"
stroking myself for comfort,
Walking in public places and scaring folk into commas.
Spraying in random faces while rage...

Breath Morphology
No resistance,
irresistibly so.
Eye peek 'round
the corner, but seems
I canno breathe any
more.
How (ow)did it all come to
somesuch or other of this?
Life blowin'way faster than
Eye can see what it is......
What is it? What can it be
that suddenly...
irresistibly so.
Eye peek 'round
the corner, but seems
I canno breathe any
more.
How (ow)did it all come to
somesuch or other of this?
Life blowin'way faster than
Eye can see what it is......
What is it? What can it be
that suddenly...

Writers block
Sitting here at the corner watching the traffic jam
Songs blaring on mute no sound from the moving amps
Conversations are too
lips flap But i cant comprehend!
A def man dances to the silence
Blasting in air!
Ive already told about the car crashes
The unfair rulses of traffic the break downs and accidents
the neighborhood and casualties
Innocent by standards of road life the mysterious signs thats hard to understand
slowly the cars start to advance
But not quick enough so im getting up
To find something new to discuss ...

Innocent by standards of road life the mysterious signs thats hard to understand
