Near The One Big House
A friend made a goof
by giving someone a lift
near the one big house.
by giving someone a lift
near the one big house.

For The Love Of Lucille
She is a pretty, pretty girl
Adored by all the neighborhood boys
She's a very tricky child
Living in her own chaotic world
She's got a bag full of tricks
Because it goes like this
She gets what she wants
Letting nothing stand in her way
Just when you think you know
What card she's gonna play
It ends up with the tables
Always turning her way
She'll ask you to
Give her everything you own
You can tell her to go away
She'll tell you she's here to stay ...

A New Interrogation Method
She
waited
for the con
to be brought in.
After he sat down,
she slowly licked her lips,
unzipped her blouse and exposed
her cleavage before she kneeled down
and moved towards the zipper of his
pants. His mouth was not shut for much longer.

Sexual Prison
The cuts were deep
Took awhile to scab over
I didn't have enough pain
Picked those scabs until they bled
Only when raw did I feel better
Moving through my day
Irritation has a way
Reminds you of your prison
I inflicted pain on her
I hurt her emotionally
Didn't think I was capable of that
I didn't think she cared enough about me
Where I would have that kind of power
Things are better now
Talked through it
Still I'm uncomfortable with peace
I need conflict
Always needing to solve ...

Check Your Eye.......The 3rd
If u cannot understand me
Check your 3rd Eye
See the wisdom of thyself
Give thy eyes more than a try
See your own self luv
U'll understand my aluv
And that there's really
No offenses to u there of
I write talking to me
To free me of my mistakes
Stop squenching though
If thy soul it takes
If u convicted by
And still do not like
Turn your head too it
No longer will it bite
Check your eye first
This truly only means
Should u encase thy
Spirit as that be of me
Cause...

A Number 27 .
he'd drink a bottle
while still
fermenting glass;
didn't care
which labels
had flavors
the twenty six
dealers would
pass
-his mother branded
him the city
ass
and the law
called her "the gospel"
when his jail time
came to pass.
one gold tooth,
skin as worn
as...

poetic vices
in romeo’s bedroom, i sit
and breathe in slow motion
.. or maybe the world decided to spin faster
if i pull laced curtains back
too tall still, to peek out
cement that holds the winter chill
catches every act
for i can hear wind whispering now
bed, toilet, and sink
witnessing my poetic vices
yes.. i know now, the longer i wait
for this sentence to end
i am prolonging the suffering
i don’t want death to delay
now i know why he drank the poison…
though there’s no juliet for me
my journals...

Life's fatal attraction
Please give me a window,
i hunger for the sun
How can i grow in this dark Gray cell
with metal barricades blocking the nutrients from the light?
Everyday that pass i lose a petal to the dirt
Yet my thorns continue to grow
If I could just hear the birds sing to me my rosey color would return from the blush of love. It seems Ive succumbed to wishing on flying stars however for
you take away the songs of god creations then replace them with walls from your rejected beings.
Who can love a Rose that is dying, the fading of color no longer appealing. ...

Resistance
I stand alone
No one will save me
So I have to save myself
There are no other choices
Either join a gang
And become their sheep
Or run and hide from
The oppressors I see
No those are not choices
But reactions of the weak
And I will stand firmly
And answer challenge’s call
I will not kneel I will not bow
To any man who thinks that I should
Just because they have numbers at their back
And I stand alone
No one will save me
So I have to save myself
There are no other choices
Either join a gang
And become their sheep
Or run and hide from
The oppressors I see
No those are not choices
But reactions of the weak
And I will stand firmly
And answer challenge’s call
I will not kneel I will not bow
To any man who thinks that I should
Just because they have numbers at their back
And I stand alone

Imprisonment
If I
Plead innocent
“Let them go!”
All the words stuck behind
Lipstick walls
And memories jailed inside
Eyelid bars
Would you unlock the chains
That bind abuse
In metallic link?
Would you guard the cell, with your life?
Or would you be the judge that sentences the death penalty?
For who’s the prisoner, and who’s imprisoning?
Plead innocent
“Let them go!”
All the words stuck behind
Lipstick walls
And memories jailed inside
Eyelid bars
Would you unlock the chains
That bind abuse
In metallic link?
Would you guard the cell, with your life?
Or would you be the judge that sentences the death penalty?
For who’s the prisoner, and who’s imprisoning?
