The Seduction of Nothing
Anxiety
you magnificent
beast
come over here
and kiss me
like you mean it
right on the lips
so I can taste you
your iron dread
washing over my tongue
bitter with a hint
of sweet
like a kumquat
that’s as ripe as it’s ever
going to be
don’t be shy now
you’ve never hidden
your textbook demands
from me before
don’t start now
there’s so much more
for you to do
to me
to stand
at your rightful place
seated at the throne ...

Reflecting count down to sleep
Reflecting as i begin my push
Is this where i need to be
My mind never at rest
It goes from my three angels
To the demons lurking deep
I sit under this bridge
Third bottle of scotch
So itll be accompanied by a fourth
Water caping the rocks below
Do i keep pondering the effects of it
Images of men ive killed pass my mind
Did they deserve it
Huh did i not
I go home to this angel
Blood stained hands
Burn going across my abs reminder
Bullet wounds healed in my legs
My body is almost a rendeered...

R.I.P Anthony Rose (10.13.1989 - 07.21.2019)
It been a minute since I last wrote any poetry…
But something happened that was way too close to me..
I wrote poetry for fallen friends, and I hoped I wouldn’t have to do it again for some time..
Well here we are, but I got a lot of things on my mind…
Another brother has made his way to heaven way too soon..
I was at work reading Facebook it was about a quarter to noon..
And there it was staring me in the face R.I.P Anthony Rose..
I did not want to believe it, so I reached out to someone who knows..
She...

YOUR GUT NEVER LEADS YOU WRONG
They say when love is real it is rare from the heart and soul but yet it will have you wrapped up like a package going too who knows where, but yet you go through the motions of being alone at the beginning to the end, as you go through the systematic phases of what love is suppose to be in your mind and heart even your soul.
But yet through the very motions there will be times of...

Forevermore
I have done very bad things to you. I hurt you. I wish I hadn't. I want to take these things back, but no matter how hard I wish, it can't be done. I ruined everything I had been working to get back. I know now more than ever, that I am the only true cause for everything that has happened to me in my life. I have made it so much harder than the way it was supposed to be. And now...now that I know this I should be able to stop...but I can't. I have known for much longer than I want to admit that I ruin everything good in my life. I know that it is only because I crave the attention. I can't...

Hunting For Tranquility
The demons make my head their abound,paying rent in verbal vomit
They debate loud, pass point one after another
Robbing me of all peace and tranquility
I take a shot of whiskey to try silence them
This just adds fire as their noise is magnified
I drawn a bottle of hard rum, result;Animating their debating
"First get money to earn respect."
Demon 1 puts a point across
"money ain't everything."
Demom 2 counters
"money is all shit u need."
I join in but stop immediately...

In gloom I bloom.
It's hard to not give up hope,
When all I've heard over the years is how insufficient i am
It's quite a task to keep my head up, When I've for eternity been held down, By the weight of my own thoughts
It's so easy to feel hollow and sunken and vulnerable,
When all I have is a void that rests right where all my stray thoughts yearn to be
It's like I lost touch with reality, with physicalness
Cause all I have in my mind are phrases of postcards from an imaginary universe
To my ears are whispers from a different existence, ...

YOU WERE SO WRONG FOR ME
Here I stand as I look out the window of my lonely room were my thoughts become my mental company as well as my friend since you and I went in different directions of our life, but its a beautiful thing to have someone too rap to and talk too as you exchange thoughts of words of expression life's experiences of were we've been and gone.

devil inside her
DEVIL INSIDE HER
Whats really going on
life is one big blur
ppl come and go
its always just her.
If you said something was off
Id have to concur
I already know
there's a devil inside her.
she has no control
she fights and begs it please
it never listens
it never does truly leave.
its there if you ever care to look
it hides behind her eyes
its that dull look of pain
its the times you never know she cries.
she never can truly trust
there's always doubt and fear of more pain
its the way she...

The shadows lurking in the dark of the night
3am and am not sure whether to sleep or soak my pillow in tears
I want to paint these bedsheets red but still remain with white as my favorite colour
I want the shadows lurking in the dark of the night to creep me out but still sing me lullabies
I'll dress myself up in facades, mask my face and hope you still see me, the real me
Wanna narrate to you my story but in such a divine way that you won't even believe it's mine
I'll tell you my truth but make it sound like a lie so that you actually know me but don't even know that you know me
Wish for someone to...

MY NIGHT WORLD NOW
I just to want to say from the bottom of my soul I know that I did you so wrong and you have all the right reasons, to want to leave me were you see me standing for I deserve all the things that you want to do to me say to me, for I deserve all of it for to have you crying after all I put you through with lies and secrets I truly don't deserve you in my life.
