What I Called Life

Naked copulation embedded this one, Before one imagined or everyone, When the night was mostly savaged And the light was damaged bandaged. Blessed where the ones given a son, Under a circular, an heir on the run A sun that insist to be the only to shine Transcended moves, in their eyes he always was in line. Of everything, in anything, blood gun Penetrated melanin, anger that weighs a ton Ravaged a girl’s heart from denied love Her blood covered her mind with a glove. Energy exerted on her could no more stun A winding period of torture, a moment for fun A hiding when demur to a marital agreement Denied knowledge, freedom of expression and all for her that was meant. Sunk in thoughts, caged panther, her time held for someone Caged panther, I became, with a slow motion that took a spun I escaped the last days of inbound hostage, mind muscled and heart footed My own family had a vision of my success, from the start, booted.
