Poet Introduction
Painting pretty pictures of pain
I write
I write to cleanse myself of the demons that dwell within.
I write to rid myself of that which torments me.
I write to distance myself from that which ails me.
I write to free myself of these chains that bind me.
I write to block out the present.
I write to escape from this bland existence.
And tune out the sounds and images of my discomfort.
I write to encourage the hands on my clock to move a little faster.
I embrace the night for the brief solace it provides
I only sleep for the promise of another day when I...

My Petty Poem
The goal is to leave an imprint of me so deeply etched into your soul, that the next guy sees me when he gazes into your eyes.
I hope your hugs never feel right. Like jeans that don't quite fit. Because they were custom made for me
I hope he sees me in your smile
Hears the ghost of my jokes in your laughter
I wish you an eternity of awkward kisses
And a multitude of men that don't measure up
I know I may come across as petty
But I'll never be happy without you...so why should you be?

But I'll never be happy without you...so why should you be?

Salvation
Let me make you a part of me.
Girl I'm looking for something deeper than you're used to.
I've got this heart that I'd like to give to you.
It's slightly used. Cracks visible from all the times it's been broken and mended.
But it's yours if you want it.
I know it sounds reckless.
But there's something about you that makes me feel like I could love again.
Maybe it's that look in your eyes.
A look I know all too well
That look that tells me you've covered you heart in bubble-wrap, sealed it in a styrofoam box marked "fragile", locked it in a...

A Walk Home
Walking home after a long day.
No, today a taxi just won't do.
Hoodie on.
Earphones on blast.
Head bowed
No, I'm not in the mood to talk to anybody.
Just me and my thoughts
And of course the music making its way from my eardrums to my veins.
Looking at my sneakers and the prints we make on the sand.
Catching glimpses of myself in storefront windows.
Lingering stares from everybody as I walk past.
I come to this sudden realisation
I look fucking good!!

Truth
Your kiss is my drug
It dulls all my senses
Your eyes are my truth
They end all pretenses
There's something about your smile
That takes away my free will.
So many times, I've tried to run
Yet here I am, I'm yours still
Your very being intoxicates me
And the worst part is-you know
That every kiss, and hug, and touch.
Just leaves me wanting more
It dulls all my senses
Your eyes are my truth
They end all pretenses
There's something about your smile
That takes away my free will.
So many times, I've tried to run
Yet here I am, I'm yours still
Your very being intoxicates me
And the worst part is-you know
That every kiss, and hug, and touch.
Just leaves me wanting more

Where's the Fun in Forever?
Don't hold on too tight, baby I'm not here to stay.
Let me be your muse, baby I'm just here to play.
I'm the one you call, when you wanna pass the time.
I'm the one you need, when you can't get him off your mind.
I'm your Mr Right Now, while you wait on Mr Right
You can never have eternity, but I can give you one night.
Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not just trying to be clever.
I just call it like it is, girl where's the fun in forever?
Kiss me like it's our last, because one day soon it's going to be.
That's the one thing you can count on....

Let Us Make Music Together
Let us make music together.
You and I could generate symphonies never before imagined.
You and I could play notes that would take us to the heavens then float with us back down to the earth.
I wanna take you to the moon and back in one night.
As your heavenly body sends me into orbit.
I wanna reach down and make you forget gravity.
Just soar with me baby.
Let's fly and watch the birds go green with envy.
I wanna taste you until you feel the tremors in your toes all the way down to your core.
Yes, when I say I wanna rock your world I'm not just...

See I loved this girl but she was such a prude.
She'd send me hearts 💞 and skip out on the nudes.
I'd be telling all them guys she a "no flex zone"
And she always saying this a "no sex zone"
I be tripping over her, doing anything she wishes
But I ain't getting nun, she don't blow anything but kisses.
Bad ass chick, but her sex game non-existent.
But I love her so much I don't cheat, I'd never risk it.
Never seen her birthday suit. She keep that in the dark.
Had to tell y'all bout the girl that got my sex drive in park

Days like this
So I thought about you today
Like you were playing "chicken" with my train of thought and got hit.
And the outcome was catastrophic.
It is days like this that I think Cupid is a sadistic bastard with a God complex.
Shooting his arrows willy nilly like a 6 year old on a sugar high.
It is days like this that I pull out my bottle of Jack and drink till I'm numb
It is days like this that I curse your name.

Good Sex
I tell her, if you like it rough, I've got a propensity for pain.
So I'm pulling on her hair, while she screaming out my name.
The way her body moves, sending signals to my brain.
So I open up her legs, and get her wetter than the rain
What I do is an art, I've got this proclivity for pleasure.
Her pussy cat purring, just begging for me to pet her.
She likes to have her way. I'm such a gentleman, I let her.
Then she mount me like a kite, and she ride me like a rental
I'm biting on her nipple while she scratching up my back.
She...

Good Times
You and me
You and I
Let the good times multiply
Dancing in the night with you
Under a diamond studded sky
You lean in
You kiss my lips
No one's ever loved like this
Your body fits right next to mine.
You make me whole. My missing piece.
I hold your hand
Look into your eyes
And I can see the rest of my life
You flash that smile, and then it hits me
I could love you till my demise
That night was magic
I was bewitched.
Bill Gates had never felt this rich
Then the very next day, you fucked my friend. ...

Poor Fool That I Am
Poor fool that I am, I fumbled over the jagged pieces of your broken heart.
Cut myself in the process, but to me you were worth it.
I tried to piece together what had never once been offered me.
Poor fool that I am, I choked down my words of affection.
I tortured the lips that ached to kiss your pain away.
Deprived my hands of the sweet nectar of your skin.
I cursed the heart that loved you beyond reason.
I died daily.
Because being with you, without being with you is the sickest form of torture anyone could think of.
