Beauty and the Night
Beauty and the Night
I stumbled up on a beautiful woman who had lost her sun and light
she said, “I really hate the stars who chased my sun into the night”.
She was almost like a garden that blossomed as she grew
without sun, water, or rain and without a wind that...

Lonestar Place
How do you place a gifted and talented person in a junkyard
A special individual, top of their class like a Big Joker card
When you are placed in the junkyard, it’s hard to be found
Especially when it’s a lot of garbage on top of you in ground.

In the Deep
In The Deep
Deep sea snorkeling in a sea of love,
what will I find?
Maybe some rare treasure
too precious to ever leave behind.
Maybe I'll find someone
to enjoy the snow, rain, and sun.
But not just anyone
but the one.
That...
Never Change
“Never Change”
Everybody wants to be loved
and love in return
but what are you willing to do
to get it and keep it
deprive you self less and less
and get nothing in return
just to make someone happy
to say you got a woman or a man
don't...
Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matters”
We shouldn't have to
live in shame or fear
cause of the color of
our skin our time is
here we just want equal
rights and not to be
scared to go out at night.
“Black Lives Matters”
It's a shame we're not
safe...
Walls
Walls
Oh the walls that we put up,
so high the world can see.
The day we finally break them down
we'll find humanity.
In this...

~ In The Tides ~
Lay your hands in my hands, gaze into my eyes;
As my dreams sweep me into the seas, to float amongst The Tides.
I often feel like I’m drowning, until I imagine your embrace;
You pull me into the high tides, making my blood rise, as your gentle fingers...

~ Death On The Wind ~
People kill things every day, from love to idle time;
And some things die anyway, from life to idle minds.
So it couldn’t really hurt to die, no more than it hurts to live,
The people left always cry when there’s nothing left to give
Death is...
Unrequited Love
Unrequited Love
Staring up on an empty canvas,
with all its layers of crimson paint.
His barren walls are cold and pale,
his breath is weak and faint.
Shackled by his loathsome pain,
his brushstrokes cracked and broken.
His portrait is of...
Tears From Your Eyes
Tears From Your Eyes
As you stare out the window,
While those tears escape your eyes.
You think back to all those times,
that he has made you cry.
All the pain and heartbreaks,
that tore your heart in two.
The nights you were left alone,...
Cold War
Deep in thought, staring at the ceiling
in this steel cage. Seeing evil spirits
tryna’ wrap me up, tryna’ move through these
rough times in life called obstacles. Angels and demons
colliding as unity. Loyalty over...
Key and Lock
Can broken hearts be mended
if they’re shattered and torn
does peace reside within one’s soul
if they‘re bittered and left scorned
You can cry a river
as if the world’s at end

Equality
Equality is free or so they like to say
but truly it comes with a price
so humanity must pay
with years and lives lost
we believe in betterment at all cost
yelling to be heard and pumping fists...
Untitled
Insidious is blind, inceptions, what’s reality with all these questions, feels like I missed my alarm and slept in… Slept in. Broken legs but I chase perfection. These walls are my blank expression, my mind is a home I’m trapped in, and it’s lonely inside this mansion....
Awakening
In the midst of my village I awoke in a daze
The sky full of smoke and the buildings ablaze
This nightmare keeps stabbing like a demon-held spear
I thought I'd escaped, or did it follow me here!

Self Reflect
I’m sick of hearing about all these Rappers killing their own people.
Then complain about the White man and how we aint treated equal.
Like you don’t understand your words and how that sh*t is lethal.
You motivate a generation that’s killing us like it’s...

For you simply. Because you’re Beautiful!
Because, you work hard to provide for yours, and I admire your altruism. Not a lot of women share these traits. Not a lot of women want to understand love, like you do, they just want to “Feel It” :)

The Rose That Grew Out of the Crack
I am a seed planted in hard soil. Created out of love, planted in chaos, water is hard to come by and sometimes I thirst. Sunlight is hard to come by and sometimes I am cold. But I fight, grow, and start to take form. As I evolve and there’s something blocking me. I push and see that it’s...
Time Heals a Broken Heart
They say that time heals a broken heart, the time for mine is way
too far...
It's full of love, but is a little scarred.
What's left now is buy a part of my gold plated broken heart.
I could have protected my heart, and put up a wall, but what's

No Sunshine
There’s no sunshine when she goes away
Now I’m all alone but what can I say?
She was there for me for so many years
I’ve heard her voice crack and tasted her tears
Baby really tried but times was so hard being...

“Fall”
Fingertips on a skinny width,
“Hang in there”, people say,
Easy at first, but soon it takes
All my strength and grip.
~ One heart searching for truth ~
We’re everywhere but here
And now, panting in and out,
Sounds in the silence so...
Eternally Bound
Eternally Bound
Last night I met an Angel,
She tried lifting me from the ground.
Scared I started to wrangle,
“Stop”, she whispered. “I promise to astound”.
Shaking, I stopped the tangle,
We took off above the town.
High in the sky my legs...

Guess That’s Why My Line’s Not Ringing
Well my profile has been up 6 months and I haven’t gotten many hits…Woah, sounds like it is crunch time. Somewhere out there, maybe anywhere out there, there has to be a woman who wants to talk to someone with substance about something of substance...

“Unforgotten Sons”
Unforgotten Sons…
The ones who knew not what the morning sun brung
A narrow band of spectrums, death, jail, shoot-outs, fights or prison
Depending on how you were living
But almost certainly a hard time living if you’re our skin color or under...

It’s torture on my soul, pain in my physical frame
I’m tryin’ to kick the Devil outta the flame
Tryna get the brothers outta the game
But these guys is steady shooting, and the kids can’t get out of the way!
See the Earth like one comet away, from literal...

Sick of Being Alone
Could it be, each night you go to sleep,
You feel this specific kind of ache,
One that causes tears to spill from your eyes,
And a painful hurt that keeps you awake?
Is it that nothing makes you feel better,
No matter what, you feel...
Withered Away
Withered Away
A dying rose in a story untold
As the rose petals fall off my pain unfolds.
Just as a reminder of how your love turned cold
Now I sit by myself without anyone to hold.
One thing is for sure, I will always remember all the good times we have...
Shattered
Shattered
Shattered dreams of a million pieces
like a carousel constantly spinning around and around.
Unable to make it stop,
unable to get off,
even unable to place my foot on solid ground;
For this shattered dreams
must not consist of...
HER
HER
3500 unbroken nights
sleeping alone on this cold and empty bed
2500 to go, a lifeless march
trudging endlessly through this bleak lunar landscape
my loneliness, stretched to the point of madness by this
gaping expanse of time
it injures a man...
Sunrise
I love a sunset because it makes me wanna drink; a tone of celebration that floats around and sinks
To the Earth, around and inside a melancholy sort, every little ending is a death we can’t ignore
And we mourn all of the loss deep inside privately;...
