Bitch stole my shoehorn
Bitch stole my shoehorn
Of all the things to take
You chose my favorite tool
See, little things make me happy
But what you did was cruel
My life is about the simple pleasures
Now I slip on shoes like a fool
You could've taken a tie bar
Or a few pairs of cufflinks
A stainless steal bracelet
Or even my quill and the ink
But no, you swiped the finest
Well, maybe second to my mink
I loved that shoehorn, it was custom
Solid gold with rubies just shining
The handle engraved with my initials
Polishing...

Dark light
Soft glow from the lime light
I watched as she turned bright
Thought it was over
Toss over my shoulder
But then her sight burned night
Disturb the dark perturbed the art
All fall in as shadows fall apart
Drifting in angst
Lifting to thanks
Who knows that those haul a cart
Loaded with stolen dreams
Kids' play as it seems
Can't blame the light for its beams
The discovery of a shattered night
Lasting long after the fight
Only to vanquish the plight
But light lets go
Loosens its grip
The dark returns as...

Seven years
I hadn’t seen her in seven years…
The weekend played out as I imagined it would
I knew from the start when she kissed my cheek
A secret to be kept is what we formed
Because she’s married and I’m an old flame
This fire never died…
Late night smoke and drinks flow
Laughing with friends about old times
She caught me in the kitchen alone for a moment
And said she just wanted a familiar hug
All too familiar…
Night played on till three in the morning
Everybody else was...

A-list rap
Stay away and at bay, all day spray an AK
A stray path attack wrath back attack
Play bash and land last, crash at bag pass
A fact blast wrap cast and a rat-a-tat-tat lash
Always pack hay lazy days stash dank rays
Can’t stand crazy whack rants and that fad man
Amass a slam say damn man, that’s cash at hand
Phantasm anagram that’s a fantasy and a jam
That pack stay track attack and flay any cat
Grab phat ass and smash all day and ball at last
Tact lasts and all shall pass, fall crash...

Trip over you
On my path to love all you did was trip me up
I fell for you and landed in the dumps
Fuck your past and the shit that happened before me
I wasn't them but you still longed for that pain
I remember the first fight
I wouldn't bend to you and your chaos
You tripped me up
Asking me to hit you just to resolve it?
Fuck that
I didn't do it and you kept on with the tangle
I try to walk away and you stood in my path
I simply asked that you move and let me by
Grabbing on to me and forcing me back I had no choice but to push you away
Then...

A priori deception
Notice the minor flaw of reason and a multitude of hypotheses
Presenting a catastrophic yet logical pathway to follow
Find the fashion that suits you best, it's a self-devouring fixed impulse
The aftermath is when we have a real a priori deception
Reveal this common knowledge, yet save the precious empiricism
Invent your reasons and look soundly upon insanity
...like laughing at a monkey in a man suit
The act may be self-contradictory
But state it rhetorically and it sounds like benevolence
Come to find out peace of mind isn't at all superficial
Jesus...

Let the words speak
Let the words speak
Give them a voice
They’re words; what the fuck do they care?

The lady of my dreams (Shakespearean love poem)
For you my lady I wait with patience
knowing that in time you’ll be by my side
I imagine the warmth of your presence
and all of the thoughts your eyes cannot hide
for I’ve stared deeply into them at night
through many perfect dreams of you and me
some ending in my tears and fresh daylight
when I come back to face reality
but those tears are never because of pain
they fall because I am so in love with you
you make me feel a way I can’t explain
knowing that someday these dreams will come true
so for now I smile when I’m sleepy
knowing I get to...
