Pomegranate Kisses
The light in me
craves the darkness in you.
The hint of lust in thine eyes,
tells me that you want me too.
We mustn’t waste time,
as we have none to spare.
Make haste to ye’ olde pomegranate tree,
and wait for me there.
Under the cloak of the night’s sky
we’ll be hidden in the dark.
Devouring each other,
under the blooming pomegranates,
until we hear the cry of the lark.

Barista Flow
Damn I need a vice
it’s gotta be more to life
than pouring espresso shots
over ice.
Busting my ass on bar,
while the strangers just stare,
Oat milk here, a little caramel drizzle there.
Fancy coffees for fancy prices.
Short,
Tall,
Grande,
Venti,
It’s nice to have that privilege with a side
of Fendi.
Designer bags, designer things
I’m tired of slanging coffees,
I want the finer things.
I’m just a barista that does poetry…
if I wasn’t handing you your coffee,
you wouldn’t notice me..

Creole Negra
Creole woman.
She’s like sugar and spice,
Made up of everything naughty
and red beans and rice.
If you think about pursuing her,
I hope that you can dance.
Because if you can’t zydeco baby,
you haven’t got a chance.
She’s a beauty of mixed culture,
she speaks a little spanish,
a little french too.
But tread carefully,
cos she might know voodoo.
She knows a lot of tricks in bed,
she sucks more than just crawfish heads.
She can burn in the kitchen!
That means she can cook,
she’s one of a...

Lost Me
I tried so hard to save you,
and in the process,
I lost me.
Forgetting all the things I wanted,
I abandoned my own needs.
I put you first,
and in turn what did that get me?
A knife in the back,
and a broken heart,
when you should have just killed me.
Living with the self pity,
is equivalent to dying anyway.
Mourning my hopes and dreams,
that I put on the back burner,
because I was so certain
that you’d stay.
Now a hollow shell of myself,
who can I turn to? When there’s no one else.
I stay in bed and...
and in the process,
I lost me.
Forgetting all the things I wanted,
I abandoned my own needs.
I put you first,
and in turn what did that get me?
A knife in the back,
and a broken heart,

that I put on the back burner,

that you’d stay.

Walls of Jericho
Built up by aggression,
anger,
fear,
depression.
Fuck,
I’m exhausted.
My grip,
I almost lost it.
The mortar that holds these walls
is thinning from my exasperation
from the demons
that I’m facing,
fucking contemplating
do I let them win,
or do I try and make it?
I’m so tired of faking,
so tired of pretending like I’m happy..
Sometimes I wonder if I’m gone,
could I truly be happy?
Set free from the bounds of this
world that doesn’t love me..
What would my God think?
Would he hate me...
anger,
fear,
depression.
Fuck,
I’m exhausted.
My grip,
I almost lost it.
The mortar that holds these walls
is thinning from my exasperation
from the demons
that I’m facing,
fucking contemplating
do I let them win,
or do I try and make it?
I’m so tired of faking,
so tired of pretending like I’m happy..
Sometimes I wonder if I’m gone,
could I truly be happy?
Set free from the bounds of this
world that doesn’t love me..
What would my God think?
Would he hate me...

Release
I willfully release
all things
that are not meant to be.
I willfully release
all things
that are not meant for me.
There is no use,
in holding onto things
without intentions of being kept.
Regardless of how much I tried,
regardless of all the nights I’ve wept.
I set them free;
and should they ever come back..
well,
I guess we’ll see….

It Is What It Is
I’m an empath,
so I feel everything.
You can say you’re fine,
but I know better.
I absorb your energy
and then I feel it,
between us,
it’s a tether..
It is what it is though, right?
You don’t have to tell me that you need help.
I already knew before you did..
I’m coming to save you from the burning building you reside in,
like you were a helpless kid.
I’ll put myself in danger, a thousand times over..
If it meant that I could have you safe and sound..
But will there be reciprocity ...
so I feel everything.

Pick Me Up
I’ve been down lately
sorry I haven’t been
around lately
checked out mentally
letting shit get to me
feeling like
everything is out, to get to me
pick me up
cos i’m falling
pick me up
and i’m sorry to keep calling
to unload my shit on you
but know that
you can do the same to me too
i’ll be there
pick me up
because right now
i’m at my lowest
and i’m hoping that
no one will notice
but from the mud
i will grow
like the lotus
from the pain
i will rise from the ashes...
