Poet Introduction
I AM RED CURTAINS...you will understand me through my poetry. Read me.
Spill pt 1(The Valentine)
Keeping the glass half full is cool with me
That way I won’t make mess
And fuss over a spill
I realized I wasn’t that thirsty after all
Maybe another day besides
Valentine’s Day
I’ll be good humored
And return for a drink
That way I won’t make mess
And fuss over a spill
I realized I wasn’t that thirsty after all
Maybe another day besides
Valentine’s Day
I’ll be good humored
And return for a drink

The Joust pt 1
There is a quest for food
As
Hunger settles in
the after hours mating
Produced morning dew
The sun has just risen
She claws ,he pounced
The joust begins
She attacks
Leaves nothing
Runs over the bones
And returns to her habitat
As
Hunger settles in
the after hours mating
Produced morning dew
The sun has just risen
She claws ,he pounced
The joust begins
She attacks
Leaves nothing
Runs over the bones
And returns to her habitat

Playing it by ear
My fears
Lay in between the mediums of *
Rejection
Vulnerability
reduced affection
I want to love you
It’s MY secret
That I do love you
And this pen can’t keep its mouth shut** leaking it**
But my love is on edge
As I look over the obstacles
Trying to get to your heart
I’m climbing the tallest mountain
But doubt may be at the top
So I stop midway
The cliffhanger
Feelings are the ropes
If I let go ...

A Symphony’s Lyrics Tells Tales of the Heart
I confess
I hunger to feel
Your breath on my neck
I’m lost without the emotions
You invoke in me
As En vogue sings over the beat
My love your never gona get it
Is your hearts symphony
And the empathy
That you feel isn’t for me
It’s comfort for you
So you remain unattached
And free from an evening heartbreak
The twist is that
M. J
Told me I could “Beat it“
Mm hmm
“Dirty Diana“
“I remember the time”
The sex was
“BAD”
I wanted to
“Rock With You” ...
I hunger to feel

Craft
I remember your fragrance
It was simply soothing
Like A swan on the lake
Like A raven gliding in the smiling sky
Spreading its wings of love
But, it descends to the ground for its prey
I’m in hunger of
Your love,
It can be elevating and soft
But, a torturous flame
And then A shadow of emptiness
There’s a power struggle to find a balance
So Will you design my heart and customize it for you and only you?
An intricate song
Passionate in volume
Unending in length
I want you to crave the...

Poison
The secret strumming
Glass Throbbing
Red mist color
Life as existence
Like
Trust is uncertain to the blind
Who
belongs?
Without them
It’s dry smoke in the air
Poison
The joke is he is dead
He’s been fed
Full enough
He was perishable by thought
The secret’s calling hunger
Like innocence is to younger than adult years
A Devoured heart
A jealous Pain
A Buck cloven for a feast is
Poison

Weight Game
As the days get shorter
and the nights get longer
I mourn my love for you
the touch of your words adorn winters blissful cold on my lips
My soul was torn as I yearned for one last kiss
I know they’re rules to this shit
But why can’t we break them for the sake of time
Because it doesn’t rewind
But memories do
As we went back and forth
From loveRs to foes
Hot summer to the lonely winters cold
Leaves falling from the trees
Like my heart fell to my knees
When you said you couldn’t love me
...

Poem 107 (Syndicated)
Read me
I'm a script, just a couple of lines
a couple of pages long
It's my story not Dorothy Dandridge, Tina Turner or Leona Horne
It's my Stormy Weather
A life that I want to hate
What's love got to do with my mistakes
I've been Waiting to Exhale
That's why I can't accelerate any faster
My breath couldn't catch up
Asterisk
disaster, disgrace,distant, displaced,
A heartbreak hotel
I'm checking in
I can't wait
To
Turn the page of this playbill
The tears from les miserables came raining in ...

Street cypher
There’s a war coming
And none of your soldiers are ready
Men, worry about fuckin
Women, worry about going steady
Preparing for marriage and if his bank account is heavyweight
No champions have crossed the finish line with their armor still in tact
The wheels of the chariots are worn out
Meanwhile the horse shit attracts flies
Giving the enemy insight to where the flesh lies
The good are sleeping
The evil always creeping up
Slaying these souls unsaved
Smoking up devils
There’s a war coming
I’m ready
I applied...

It is ( Poem 43)
When this Poet speaks
The volume is turned all the way up
A surround sound of 3D pain and medium treble or Bass love
When this Poet loves
The heart is like a lady bug to a vine
When this poet hates
Its like pressing delete or backspace love never existed within the host
So I say "I would hate to Love you "
Because this Poets' beginings
Stream into intense middles and
Hanging conclusions
Love
It is
Raw
Destructive
Kind
Unconditional
Avoiding ...
