Shadow Girl
She feels she's in the shadow
The girl that's in the shadow of your world
The one that nobody sees, even you
The one that nobody never knew about, nobody but you
Shadow Girl
Living and loving in the dark
Just to find out she's playing a small part
That has no affect on your heart
Shadow Girl
The one you don't want but don't know what to do work her
The one that pours out her heart hoping that one you will hear her
Shadow Girl
All alone in a relationship, still loving a man that she fell for
Not wanting to let go because she...

Rape Sells
I tried to sell
A volume of poetry
To a certain publishing house
A few months back
I met with a representative
Who claimed her name was Darcey
She had an immense forehead
And bad Botox on her lips
She claimed she liked some of my stuff
The more visceral poems
But didn’t fully believe the rest
She didn’t trust my youthful erection at my mother’s funeral
Or the sex I had with vague consent
She told me, “look... Rape sells- but Jermaine, you are not a rapist, and we both know it”

Breaking a Soul Cycle
My dreams are mixing with my nightmares
Present and past live safe swapping Saliva
Back and forth we go in my mind
Together, not together, this life, that life
Strong as the wind, blowing outside my door
You don't want me and I don't want you
But my dreams keep starring you
You lips at my neck, your hands bruising my chest
Back and forth, tornado of thoughts and memories
Some of them don't really seem like they're mine
I need to get rid of your presence in it
I don't want you. Not here, not now
Get out my mind, detach your soul ...

SYSTEMATICALLY CONNECTED
As my emotions and feelings start to resurface from beneath the deepness of my heart and soul, I crave you in ways that makes my body ache gripping the depth of my deepness. As it reaches within the depth of my spiritual soul as I wait with anticipation, for the connecting of us in ways that we couldn't ever imagine that could be possible. For as we unshackle the true depth of our deepness removing, the blinders from our eyes it is you who has turned my life around as you slowly begin to opening up the gateway to my heart and soul and mind. For as we transcend mentally and emotionally, I...

Craving
I crave you
Like i would my next breath
A breath i give
In our deepest kiss
In the fury of your love
Lies a mischievous soul
Behind those eyes of fire
The most beautiful heart
Into sins forbidden
Already taken
But desire burns bolder
You enthral my senses
Agonising need
Torrents me
This flaming lust
Is out of my control
Your beauty is more than meets the eye
Its much deeper
Like this burning
The want of you dominates
Whatever i see
Or...
Like i would my next breath

My Stepped On Heart
You stepped all over my heart
Like it was cheap, redneck cocaine
You stepped all over my heart
Come and step on it again
You insulted the size of my manhood
You laughed at my pain and my tears
You shared our bed with another
Confirming ev’ry one of my fears
Candice, I’ve loved you forever
But you left me and I cannot say why
Without you I can’t face tomorrow
So I’ll lay down right here and die
Like it was cheap, redneck cocaine
You stepped all over my heart
Come and step on it again
You insulted the size of my manhood
You laughed at my pain and my tears
You shared our bed with another
Confirming ev’ry one of my fears
Candice, I’ve loved you forever
But you left me and I cannot say why
Without you I can’t face tomorrow
So I’ll lay down right here and die

Love Echoes On
I fall
Through
The vast of sky
Without fear
Carrying
A beating heart
That only
You will see
Beautiful curve
Morning smile
Love reflection
Of sparkling eyes
A lovely notion
Of being swept
In the tidal ebb
Of your ocean
Feelings
I have longed
To quench
Upon your soul
An old romantic
I will never die
My love
Will echo on and on
Through
The vast of sky
Without fear
Carrying
A beating heart
That only
You will see
Beautiful curve
Morning smile
Love reflection
Of sparkling eyes
A lovely notion
Of being swept
In the tidal ebb
Of your ocean
Feelings
I have longed
To quench
Upon your soul
An old romantic
I will never die
My love
Will echo on and on

The worst pain imaginable...
I’m sick of being used
I’m sick of getting played
I’m sick of being left for “the better man”
I’m sick of helping people
I help and help just for them to leave
I help and they get with someone else
I help and they still call me shit
I help yet I’m toxic...
I do what they want...
I do whatever to make them happy
I do what I can to make them feel loved
I do what I can but I’m never enough
She said I treat her like a queen
She said I was the only one she wanted
She said I was the only she talked to
She...

Wasteland
Ginger toes
Warm, barren lands
Lain waste without sun
Dead Sea of hearts
Fresh blackened sands
Fortified desert of bones Burn
Underfoot while lousy lovers' ashes
Turn to butter in my throat
Whisper. Whisper to the clock
Beg the hands my return
So that Embrace might consume
My love and make me see
Porcelain tears fall on bedrock
Crushed between my toes
Step... Another step...
Indigo Dreams
Swept with gold intent
My spoils
A dimpled Grin & reckless regard
Longing for more ...

moving on
Spending time away from your world
Better off floating in space tonight
Away from your orbit
You stopped pulling for me
The plants stopped growing in your garden
I only stopped watering them yesterday
I guess it’s been too long for you
Never could stand changed weather
Didn’t drink your water when I gave it to you
Thought you had time to drink it later
The sun didn’t wait to
Take it from you
Better off floating in space tonight
Away from your orbit
You stopped pulling for me
The plants stopped growing in your garden
I only stopped watering them yesterday
I guess it’s been too long for you
Never could stand changed weather
Didn’t drink your water when I gave it to you
Thought you had time to drink it later
The sun didn’t wait to
Take it from you

I Disintegrate
Putting out a fire
Is not that easy
When the air
Feeding the blaze
Is love
The burning
Could be seen
As a beautifull ache
That the heart
Only knows
So the agony
Of being lost
Attached to the theead
Of her being
Tangled up in her soul
Infinity is not that long
In her eyes
That sparkle
Sunrise
Is eternity felt in a kiss
Where i disintegrate
Into embers
Fire sprites
That resemble stars
In her universe
Is not that easy
When the air
Feeding the blaze
Is love
The burning
Could be seen
As a beautifull ache
That the heart
Only knows
So the agony
Of being lost
Attached to the theead
Of her being
Tangled up in her soul
Infinity is not that long
In her eyes
That sparkle
Sunrise
Is eternity felt in a kiss
Where i disintegrate
Into embers
Fire sprites
That resemble stars
In her universe

TESTING OF YOUR HEART
Something for the depth of the heart and soul and mind, for why is it that we have to change who we are to fit in a relationship that judges you, upon ones appearance yet they still don't understand the concept of the depth of your heart and soul nor the subconsciousness of your mind. For even though you try to hide from the hurt and pain along with the suffering, you decide to continue with the process of the relationship, even when you don't see any changes being made on their part. For how much more are you willing to justify there senseless actions, that they don't truly love you...
