my treasure in life
i’ve taken good notes
no mental naps,
paid more attention
drawn better maps,
i’ve paid the cost,
gone though the loss,
back broke mind cracked,
stretched in every direction
like torture on the rack,
every pandora’s box
a stress or a strife,
best decision i made
was both wrists to the knife,
as light begins to fade
to irreversible night,
didn’t realize my treasure
was living my own life..

knight in shining polyester blend
sitting behind you once again,
there’s no one next to you,
you and he sat hand in hand
wonder if you two are through,
jasmine in the air
coco butter too,
ease to my right
to inhale your profile view,
Hemera and Nyx in sight
mix in some Athena too,
the best way to describe
she is like a goddess stew
i dipped my head down
as you peered around
and you caught me
glaring at you,
our eyes greet
like spy versus spy,
“hey” I said.. not to pry”,
“is something the...

Hummingbird
hummingbird hummingbird,
you hum up and down
hummingbird hummingbird,
you hum all around
hummingbird hummingbird,
away goes my frown
hummingbird hummingbird,
I sit and I pray
hummingbird hummingbird,
you show up today
hummingbird hummingbird,
you give me a thrill
no other can match your hummingbird skill
you hum up and down
hummingbird hummingbird,
you hum all around
hummingbird hummingbird,
away goes my frown
hummingbird hummingbird,
I sit and I pray
hummingbird hummingbird,
you show up today
hummingbird hummingbird,
you give me a thrill
no other can match your hummingbird skill

Start-ache
yes sex would be nice
would love to dive in,
but i think it would best
if we start out as new friends,
yes i know..
“you’re really done with him”,
most times we lose someone
in order to win,
but without a friendship
real change could never begin,
i will build your trust
into loving again,
file the evidence of loves passed crimes,
let me hold you until you feel fine,
no memory doubts will ever come to mind,
an all that baggage gets left behind,
i sign my name on...

.. pillowcase
rolled over early morning,
in the space where you laid..
there’s a scent on the pillowcase,
yours..
half a blue moon today,
“i curse you pillowcase
and the scent that you play”,
you’ve escaped the wash again,
tomorrow..
i’m throwing you away.
well.. if not tomorrow,
for certain the next day..

i, myself and me..
i.. was having a talk today with me,
me and myself usually agree,
i objects to smoking of weed,
then..
i.. excused myself upsettingly
and when he did, he left with me,
me and myself usually agree,
so..
i just can’t see how it can be,
that “their minds are truly free”
on a long term “smoking therapy”,
now..
i will start to stretch and breathe
it’s a crowded place in here to be
really when visits of sad or misery,
what..
one thing that the three do agree
and maybe hard...

..concrete feet
. every morning she walks right by,
like sugar and coffee my 8 AM complete,
i’m normally not so terribly shy,
shoes feel like they are stuck in concrete..
today i say.. “tomorrow.. i’ll be on the street”,
no way around it..
we for sure are going to meet,
i know what to do..
i’ll take off my shoes
no way i won’t be able to greet,
but,
to my chagrin by 8 AM..
my feet were stuck in some concrete (sigh)..

she smiled.. again
entering an amusement park,
we both chose the middle aisle
i stopped and said “ladies go first”
it was a single file,
then.. there was a spark
in the form of a smile,
a pilot was lit..
that had been out for a while,
pink stick and lite shadow
i like a subtle style,
a 9 out of a 10
on my eye appeal dial..
i knew she couldn’t be single,
there’s no way that I could win,
I ask “you with someone..
aren’t you with a friend”
“Yes” she said “i’m with someone”..
i thought that...

that..
how can I explain..
you guide me like the bank does a stream,
you pride me like a crown does a king,
you advise me like the songs a Nightingale sings,
you complete me like a diamond does the ring..
how can I explaine,
that..
you are my everything

one sip and pour some out
right around this time of year
I really miss my friends,
hanging out in a parking lot
passing a fifth of gin,
some boasting which cutie is hot
others with just a shit eating grin,
gangstas take stage with personal scripts
that would easily curl your skin,
another barks how his blade causes rips..
as the fire chronic starts to kick in,
miss my homey’s without a doubt..
take one sip now pour some out
some rode out on a needle
some poison by lead, ...

the “only” first one
she was a little one,
about 5 foot and none,
she had a sweet smell to her..
sorta smelled like a plum,
her front teeth were bucked a bit,
she used to suck her thumb,
she was the only thing in the neighborhood
that I didn’t think was dumb,
she was like having a loaf of bread
when you’re used to having a crumb,
(I guess you’d have to be poor like us
to really understand that one)
she was an old soul at four and teen,
her attitude was sweet and sour mean,
her budding body had grown eye popping, ...
