AfterSexDilemma:
Falling to the ground, Big Bang,
That's the sound.
A big man balancing on a tricycle,
Dancing like a clown.
High in the Sefirot trying not to drop.
Opened my mouth couldn't get it to stop.
Pressure boiling in with hot steam,
Makes my ears pop.
The fish in the sky are going dry.
Start to flip flop.
High on my mind wasting time on the clock.
I'm in decline, getting behind, still in line,
Want fame from the tick tock.

King of Humility
Grateful coasting immaculate early dawn morning currents
blown gingerly wayward on daily life routines
Aloft to powerful graphic roars of hot air balloon thoughts
in colorful regal daybreak scenes serene
Gazing across magnificent woven wicker basket
beyond to dark volatile horizons cloaked in hunger of light
Days before easy living cursed livid night
wreak circumstance of sore scab estrange fights
Under siege walking familiar fog of destructive brimstone
carnivorous blades reign storms from foe
As bleak jagged paths on soles no one wished ...

Under siege walking familiar fog of destructive brimstone
carnivorous blades reign storms from foe

Aries
Spin the astrology wheel
see where the compass points
I’m not the star of one thing
more of a mixed bag of several joints
Django unchained born Aries off the cuffs
I missed the cusp by four days
Known as passionate and emotional
I’ll knock you down in 4 ways
Or albeit Ram in 4 waves
calculative known to rock a few ships
A battle plan in mastered hands
is how fore horns stay equip ...

I’m the [won] you know

The [one] who scribes vivid
Like {win} breeze letting go
Some proclaim me as Duice

I collab with great poets
and pen diamonds to fruit
Called on like quotes
In book verse that never choke
Freestyling grams

That’s my #1 fam
The Ultimate Cure unno am
Lit across shores in poetry slams
Duice at peace imagine that in reality ...

Truth Serum
How real can you be with a person bullshit aside
Put my thoughts in your head like fuck all pride
Really real talking facts not censored caring of perception
Offensive speaking truth with no redacted reflection
The world’s full of dumb fucks in howling applaud like trained seals
Passionate mesmerized in stupidity overzealous who can’t keep it real
Let alone common sense or opinion to decipher deceptive holes in life
As if trapdoors in a world of unknowns is labeled in black and white
Clenched I look out at crowds livid in savage bottled disgust ...

Get Outta My Head
A decade ago unexpectedly I had miracle vision
Heaven opened serendipitous and ornate walked her by decision
Not just any but her specially given entrusted to me
This woman submitted to love a good man who yearns reciprocity
Both have big ideas and long for family shared
She embodied me in essence all ten years and genuinely cares
Meeting was not by chance but so godly ordained
In five days strangers became bound she would share his last name
Its puzzling how two weeks fused both uniquely fit
By three months two souls were inseparable and could...

Let Go(d)
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all [ your heart ]
and lean not on your [ own understanding ];
in all your ways submit [ to him ],
and he will make your [ paths straight ].
When I'm laid in that resin pine box I hope they say [ "He lived" ]
Ignited all cares flicked to the wind still without a kind regard [ to give ]
AWAKEN to a phoenix shriek soaring out smelted [ molten ash ]
Paused chest purified wiping the charcoal quick adjust as [ I dash ]
Fiercely burning bound in breast poised in kevlar plated [ rib cages ] ...

First Date
Crackers on a Saturday
for the first meeting with my boo
so delectable call her lunch
Shrimp and grits to a king
to my Queen
endless Mimosas and open menu to brunch
Conversation is outstanding
I'm at the edge
of my seat in light rain
Cordial in our interactions
as we speak
your lips vocab send sex to my brain
This what’s done to me
I'm held
on motion of words from your
tongue
The situation is calm
and sensual
as I rest outrageous beats of
my lungs no war drums ...

Built Different
I generate my own fire
I just need room to breathe
Opportunity to get behind
immune to a confidants belief
High strung excitable energy
even sleep bangs the drum
Anxiety is CHAOS
receive as perceived and succumb
Black Lion lives matter
this one forms the heart of Voltron
Every limb competes ferocious
best believe the bite brawn
My preference is meeting calamities
ROARING face forward
To collect scars across the chest
as Achievement awards
That’s speaking in General
on ink stars of war topics ...

Demeanor (Stan Lee vs. White Rabbit)
Heartbeat so loudly ominous
my lioness can't take a Dozer on my chest
at a Thanos snap my aura goes gorilla
(warfare) even Kong she say baby even calm you stress
(Bizarro) nah more like Banner in his feelings
I just keep Him Super suppress
there's no Beast topping paramount of Deadpool
when he's loose rip the \S/ off your breath
I tore my heart from my sleeves
you’d think I’m (Logan) boosting top echelon of my rank
it’s nothing major commanded a sergeant
I shoot Magneto prodigal thoughts returned like a...
