Ten Kunoichi By WiseConscious
This may remind you of a
Rhapsody
maybe it's just the rap ninja inside of
me
It is now time to reveal
my techniques
I was told that if I don't work
I don't eat
I don't count on sheep
If the ends don't meet
then my city will have
drama in it's streets
I'm a vegetarian now
I got rid of the beef
I am humble
I am meek
Emotions do run deep
My Intel supersedes
Everything I was taught
I take heed
But others walk the earth
In lust and...

Ennui
That word is a bittersweet pill
to hold all the poison and pain
that comes with depression,
Though I dislike vehemently the actual pronunciation:
'On-wee'.
How despicable!
How French.
How insipid and languid
like a bored wank into oblivion.
What a piss poor passing of a phrase.
I prefer a tragic Greek lilt to it:
'U-noy'
You know that pain: it is universal,
The despair that comes with simply being,
The fading sunset glory of joy
that tinges the skyline of mortality
as it bleeds into oblivion: ...

Strength in words
I don’t feel like this pain will ever end, as long as I have ink flowing out the nib of my pen.
You’ve taken my voice but given me words, as long as I write I know they’re being heard.
I guess I can thank you for this, for making me weak, for helping me gain the ability to speak.
Because for having felt this pain for so long, when I put it into words it makes me feel strong.
You’ve taken my voice but given me words, as long as I write I know they’re being heard.

I bleed Ink
Visual Poem
Ink flows through my arteries
then I cut open my veins and let them bleed
allowing words to dance across the page
releasing emotions from their cage
letting pain have a stage
planting seeds of thought
then we all stand back and watch
Ink flows through my arteries
then I cut open my veins and let them bleed
allowing words to dance across the page
releasing emotions from their cage
letting pain have a stage
planting seeds of thought
then we all stand back and watch

So different !!
People are not the same,
not everyone does things for the same reason.
An example, say we both went to the shop and both bought eggs,
flour and butter,
you might want to bake a cake,
but I'm making pancakes.
We are doing the same thing for different reasons,
people don't follow specific paths of behavior for the same reason
otherwise Humans are all different
we all perceive the world differently.

A FACE BEHIND A SCREEN
What do you see of me as I am behind a screen of glass only a voice unheard only the shadow of an faceless image, for when you see and read of my unspoken words from behind a screen of glass. What do you see of the real ME or do you see the me, that I am in skin and flesh and blood something invisible to the touch. For what do you feel within your heart and soul from my unspoken words, written upon a screen created from pen upon paper, for do you feel my pain and hurt even my suffering along with the heartaches of misery with pain. What do you see of me as you only feel the depth of my...

ME MYSELF AND I
They say that in life some folks will stay and others will choose to leave, but yet it doesn't really matter for you will always be there as me myself and I, looking forward into the future of your life stories. For those who truly really care about you will show as they feel you are very important to them, then there are those who will leave only to be replace by someone else, for at the end of the day it's you by yourself still doing what it is necessary to do for you. For it's funny how some people feel if they cut you off, they think they are hurting you but that is far from the truth....

Identify
Some claim to be the Prophet but I am
The Prophecy
Three hundred and sixty degrees of Cosmic Solar Energy
Rotating constantly
Is the Aura
That surrounds the body
Surreal force field emits flares that deflect hell’s artillery shells
From penetrating the Power Core
Swore an Oath
To protect the last bastion of Spiritual Independence left on this continent
Until the Heavens find a replacement
There is no rest and relaxation from my given mission
So I dig in
Cerebral weapon cocked and loaded
Hair triggered

Poet-aholic
A friend called me a poet-aholic...
They aren’t wrong
you won’t find any denial here
Just call me an addict
and no need to keep it anonymous
I drink up people’s organized words
like they’re on tap
sitting on my favorite bar stool
eagerly waiting
for my beloved poetic barkeep
to poor me another round
Shot after shot
until my head is spinning with imagery
and my liver is drowning in metaphors
Stumbling all over myself
yet somehow seeing a clearer...

A Dangerous Woman
They say a beautiful woman can be a dangerous thing. She is pretty, and she is certainly dangerous. But that’s not what does them in. She has a sharp mind and a power with words. Her words can be intoxicating and motivating but she also knows how to use them as lethal weapons. Cutting you to the core, with eloquently wrapped truths. Leaving your mind reeling and the ground underneath you shaking.
She is a connoisseur of words who refuses to waste them. So if she opens her mouth, you can expect anything that comes out to be intentional and drenching with sincerity. She doesn’t...

IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU LEARN
As in life we are planted from a seed that is nurture and cared about through the process of our growth, for during the beginning of those days we are planted within the womb known as the tree of life. But yet there comes a time when we are release from within the depth of the womb, to discover for thyself our strength and weaknesses our courage and endurance. For the world isn't going to be fair as you travel out in the world alone, for there will come a time when you have to decide what to do in situations as you will encounter your share of ups and downs. But yet beneath the deepness of...
