Creeper
I want to hold you tonight
I want to feel you tonight
I want to love you tonight.
I want to caress you
I want to hear you dream.
I want to watch you sleep.
I know there's something wrong with me
I'm just another lonely creep.
Could you please save me.
I can't help myself
I don't know what to do.
I've seen right through you.
Oooh darling.
You and I will never be alright.
No we won't.
Oooh darling
You and I will never be alright.
No we won't.
I want to feel you tonight
I want to love you tonight.
I want to caress you
I want to hear you dream.
I want to watch you sleep.
I know there's something wrong with me
I'm just another lonely creep.
Could you please save me.
I can't help myself
I don't know what to do.
I've seen right through you.
Oooh darling.
You and I will never be alright.
No we won't.
Oooh darling
You and I will never be alright.
No we won't.

The Fear of Falling
I am a lover with wings,
Who falls but never lands.
I ache to be broken
By the impact
Of a thousands suns.
Crater my body with intimacy.
Bombard me with sincerity.
Bruise my wings until I hit the floor
Like a star you wished upon.
For men like I possess lessons to learn.
Scars to gain.
Names to be embedded
In the rhythms that
Beat beat beat in the crevices
Of our chests
We bleed affection.
We quiver under the light of the moon.
We fear the things we could never understand
We fear, Falling.
...
Who falls but never lands.
I ache to be broken
By the impact
Of a thousands suns.
Crater my body with intimacy.
Bombard me with sincerity.
Bruise my wings until I hit the floor
Like a star you wished upon.
For men like I possess lessons to learn.
Scars to gain.
Names to be embedded
In the rhythms that
Beat beat beat in the crevices
Of our chests
We bleed affection.
We quiver under the light of the moon.
We fear the things we could never understand

Some Dreams Are Self Defeating
The truth is that me plus you
Equals heart break.
Because I was never one
To shake off the taste
Of yesterdays broken promises.
So don't tempt the hands on my watch
Until your soul
Has lived
The toll
Of two life's.
For you persist
In the wondering Iris
Of she who holds
Nothing close
To serenity.
So why would I try
To fly
In a sky
Littered with no
Peace of mind
If time could never be on our sides
Then fuck flying
I choose to sink
And never swim ...
Equals heart break.
Because I was never one
To shake off the taste
Of yesterdays broken promises.
So don't tempt the hands on my watch
Until your soul
Has lived
The toll
Of two life's.
For you persist
In the wondering Iris
Of she who holds
Nothing close
To serenity.
So why would I try

In a sky
Littered with no
Peace of mind
If time could never be on our sides
Then fuck flying
I choose to sink

Oh So You Twerk?
I laugh when I meet women
Who demand respect.
But who are so quick
To drop their self worth to the floor
For three minutes of 2short.
I laugh when I meet women
Who refuse to be degraded
But sing along
Loud and proud
Every word
To their favorite lil Wayne track.
I weep when I meet women
Who adore mainstream hip hop.
To allow the persistence
Of derogation
For brilliant and beautiful women
Brings my chest
Unsettling feelings.
I become distraught knowing
Men create the chains ...
Who demand respect.
But who are so quick

The Night Does Not Love
In the loneliness of the night I find your name
Etched on heart shaped rocks that pave a road,
Which I follow like a fool
Into a dark obis
Where my own shadow refuses to go.
You were the last woman I was capable of loving
But like most hid away under lock and key
My love for you could not blossom.
I was a flower you watch wilt in your darkest hours,
Underneath the heaviness of your breath
All while your soul played music
That I could never dance to.
I think of you most nights
When my lonely mind wonders
And is reminded
That...

A Wolf and Queen Play Chess
She was told to never love in such a romantic way.
That romance was for the weak hearted.
That men of his taste only became bitter
When they ran out of sweet nothing's to say.
But she was already consumed by the words he used.
By the phrases he painted on the insides of her eye lids.
She was already destined to bite down on the wolves knife.
There was no moving back from this game of chess.
From all angles he had her cornered.
But somewhere she hid between the night and day.
Trying to forget his name.
Trying to regress the...

Moe Love
You are beautiful in so many ways.
From how you live your life
With love resting on your chest.
To how you embrace the people
Who matter to you
With open arms stretched out
And a smile spread right across your face.
You are inspiring.
Giving people like myself a reason
To pray.
To express hope and desire
To wish to will
To express to the universe how important
Your life is.
You are one of the strongest people I know
The pleasure of meeting someone so humble
Has been all mine.
Thank you for always...

The Connections We Feel
Maybe the soul has within it
A frequency.
And with that we are able to find
Our soul mates.
Perhaps the challenge is finding another
Who is in tuned with you.
In tuned with the music you play.
But we all behave so differently
playing the same song in so many different ways.
So maybe the trouble is
We meet people who are everything we are
Except the music we play in our hearts.
A frequency.
And with that we are able to find
Our soul mates.
Perhaps the challenge is finding another
Who is in tuned with you.
In tuned with the music you play.
But we all behave so differently
playing the same song in so many different ways.
So maybe the trouble is
We meet people who are everything we are
Except the music we play in our hearts.

Dear Dad,
Why is it that I can hear your laugh
In the back of my head
On days where I can barely smile?
On days where all I want to do
Is shut the world out.
And dwell in self pity.
I hear your laugh in moments
Where I feel lost
Like a child at the fair.
You bring me comfort
When I find you hiding
In the vault's of my memory banks.
Counting my blessings
As if they were silver dollars.
I guess you could say
You are still here
On days where
I need someone to remind me
Life is Beautiful,
So why not laugh.

Could You Try to Understand Me
The heart bleeds red they said.
Well mine pours secrets
In the forms of similes and mistakes.
But I take back nothing I have done.
Because I live to learn
What few have had the courage to do.
I speak truth in the forms of verbal abuse.
My words have weighed me down
Like sunken ships in the pacific.
But never again will I let them sit
In the pit of my belly.
They will astral project
Like the soul in my body.
Kiss these lips and tell me you could taste
What this man has been dreaming.
Because words can only...
Well mine pours secrets
In the forms of similes and mistakes.
But I take back nothing I have done.

What few have had the courage to do.

My words have weighed me down
Like sunken ships in the pacific.
But never again will I let them sit

You Drive Me f**kin Looney
I want to sing you to sleep.
I want to weep all over your body
I guess its just another hobby of mine
To creep people out, every single time.
Because I seem to be a little too lost.
I seem to be a little too lost in the thought.
I want to bob and weave through the sea.
I guess its another reason why I lose it.
I want to understand you.
I want to come to understand
Those voices in your head.
Oh YES!!! Darling, I am a man who cares.
But I know that I am better off dead.
BUT HEY!!! It seems to be another reason why I'm...
