Passionate Love

PASSIONATE LOVE 

Will I find it 
when will I know 
Will I see it 
how will it glow 
Sitting here with patience 
wanting to know 
glistening from the inside 
longing for the unknown 
Steaming with immense passion
starting to fall behind 
Today I write of misery 
yesterday’s emotional kind
Tomorrow I breath of happiness 
strong strengthen from within
Visions of all the past times 
raw and soaring like the wind 
Take all your learned decisions 
thoughts that changed your ways 
Create that perfect person 
one that makes everything ok
As yesterday and tomorrow become chiseled 
passionately within your mind 
never fear and always remember 
everything is of fated divine 
All those memories that shined the truth 
tomorrow’s future 
shadows of revealing youth 
Find each other’s own ones self 
following the path of that source of wealth 
As you will know once you see
the creation that’s made you feel free 
Only you can find yourself 
despite following the truth
Keep yourself above all others 
ensuring happiness while staying true  
As in the end the only thing that matters 
the only reason you exist 
the only common thing you have recanted 
Is the truth down deep within your souls abyss 
The mold that has enlightened the light 
keeping it lit for years and years 
The only thing that describes yourself
that you can’t have to hold 
lasting longer 
lasting forever 
lasting longer than the truth to be told 
Is Love

Gracefully

I’m hurting inside with such misery 
feeling like death at times 
dismissive falling to my knees 
Trying so hard to make you happy with love and reflection 
dreams now shattered 
can’t understand these thoughts inside me 
Distortion is fogging my inner complexion 
Time seems blissful with every interaction 
You think you can buy my love that I hold 
relationship ended my love won’t be sold 
All I ask for is a simple hello 
hurtful responses emitting pain in my soul 
Do I still feel the passion as when we first met?
Inept remembrance in that secrecy our love kept 
This destructive relationship hurts me so so deep 
Never before have I been this oblique 
Transgressions aside you know I’ll stay true
Remember that time when I looked in your eyes 
exchanging our vows as making promises to you 
All that is over now as if it never happened 
Our lives were one with love and devotion 
now they are nothing 
as water ebbs from the ocean 
I’m not knowing what to do 
can’t hide my emotions 
I suppose with time you and I will heal
except with someone else 
which will be the second time someone kneeled 
Thanks for your grace
your willingness to be true 
always remember 
that I am always here for you 
Be safe in your passage looking up into the night 
if you ever need me my dear 
I will be there despite 
Be safe Be true be everything that makes you be you
One day another will recognize 
everything as the things you dream too

To Live and To Love

To live is to see 
see all that you want 
To want is to love if
love is all you can see 
If you want to love 
see if love is all you want 
Once you find the love you need 
then live for the one that you love 
Love each other 
for each other’s wants and needs 
Live life happy together 
because if you lose your want 
you will lose your need 
If you lose your need 
then wait to see 
Eventually you will lose 
all that makes both of you unique 
With everything lost 
No more wants 
No more needs 
There will be no more life yet to breathe

You

Smiles of true happiness
laughter proliferating within the night 
Lust throughout the air 
love at first sight 
My heart starts beating faster 
if the touch is just right 
I can’t describe this feeling 
when we hold each other tight
Feeling like we are last two on earth 
alone to fight the fight 
Caressing you ever so gently 
on this moonlit evening night 
Tranquillity has me feeling 
my love so deep for you 
Hoping in this moment 
our passion will prove our truth 
Hope you never leave 
Hope I never go 
Remembering in the end 
That this love that we have built 
will always shine and glow

The Rundown

The Rundown 


I’m feeling all boxed up 
caving from within...
Constructive delusion of truth 
I can’t believe what I’m in...
Dreams of my youth
with a prison stint
my passions  deep within 
letting very few in...
I’ve been down on luck 
I’m living life to win...
No more corners to turn 
I’m gonna straight line this...
Mr. DA here’s a tip
a little something for ya...
You better hide from us 
cause we gonna f......destroy ya...
You have no case 
so what to do now...
Keep pursuing me 
as I’m heading outta town...
Feds around the corner 
watching every move 
late night terrors 
ain’t no way I’m gonna lose...
First you gotta find me 
good luck with that...
Where to start first
here’s a tit for tat...
Look in the corners 
every square inch...
With all that going on 
what’s next is a cinch...
I’m that shadow standing 
outside your bedroom window...
I’m no modern commando
but here’s a short little intro...
Your .......... so upset 
crying all damm day...
that’s what happens when a ........ 
has his way... 
Where my people now 
f......haters everywhere 
smoking on some gelato 
as I die my f......hair...
Different person different state 
setting up shop
just you wait... 
Bigger than before 
larger than the next 
this street life s...
is simple yet complex...
After I get my millions 
safe and sound away...
I’m coming for them b......
that tried to have me locked away...
You won’t see me coming 
creeping down the block... 
Peeping out the window 
as the neighbors hear the shots...
All scores settled 
finally time to chill...
Living a life of luxury 
while heading to Brazil...
Just remember one thing 
it’s all I gotta say...
When you hear that late night phone ring
It’s me that just escaped..

Gone For Now

I wish you were here with me right now 
I wish you were around
so you could wipe away my frown 
Wishing all of this is fun to think 
knowing that you’re gone 
makes everything seem blank 
I wish we could sing like we once did 
I wish we could laugh 
like we did as kids 
I wish I could hold you in those quietest of nights 
keeping you safe and telling you it’s alright 
Holding back my tears 
as I wipe them away 
as our passion with each other 
slowly drifts away 
I wish we could say 
I love you again 
even though in my heart
those days are gone and away
I know my passion for you 
can only be expressed in these rhymes 
as I wish I could see you 
one last time 
I’m wishing you all the best 
in your journey ahead 
wanting you to know 
there’s so much left unsaid 
I wish we could see that sunset glow 
on that ridge where we sat
feeling that lust seeing you glow 
realizing my heart is forever trapped 
I wish all these things were really 
the truth 
but honestly 
I wish I was with you

And Tomorrow

Today is filled with anger 
fueled with hidden hate 
scared of being an outcast 
afraid of common fate 
Today is built on tragedies 
which no one wants to face 
Nightmares to humanities 
and morally disgraced 
Tonight is filled with rage 
violence in the air 
children bred with ruthlessness 
because no one at home cares 
Tonight I lay my head down 
but the pressure never stops 
Gnawing at my sanity 
content when I am dropped 
But tomorrow I can change 
a chance to build a new 
Built on spirit with heart and ideas 
based on truth 
Tomorrow I wake with a second wind 
strong because of pride 
to know I fought with all my heart 
to keep my dream alive

Life

Scars won’t heal 
Love can’t solve inner lust with 
a prejudice heart 
Pain can only be solved by 
anomalous feeling 
Happiness won’t last without 
desire for one’s heart 
Sorrow only fills the void with 
unapt options with time 
Lust won’t solve love if love 
isn’t present within the heart 
Death is temporary although lasts 
for eternity 
Passion isn’t love, lust or admiration 
it’s simply exceeding inept truth of 
emotional pain 
Life is eternal without love,lust passion or feelings 
Be mindful of your soul 
at all levels of oneself 
Ascertain throughout life with 
all passions gaining upon you 
Stay true loyal and amorous 
towards one soul 
As death draws near sing
ones life bereavement 
Letting your soul omit your self’s 
departure with grace 
Sing your death song and 
be forever gone

Ever and Forever

Thinking of you 
is like watching the sunset glow 
With you in my arms 
watching the evening go 
Tonight could be the night 
where all our differences disappear 
The closer I get to you 
whispering into your ear
How could I go on without you 
the problem I fear 
Alone in this world 
without you by my side 
With that beautiful smile 
where my love try’s to hide 
Waking next to you 
without a moment left to pass 
Staring into your eyes 
hoping it’s not my last 
The touch and the feel of you 
these emotions so real 
Trying to explain these feelings of love
cannot be written 
explained nor judged 
Ever

Loving You

Love is like the water that flows
from the river
Love is like the bird as it chirps 
in its morning shiver 
Love is like the rainbow 
with so many beautiful colors 
Love is like your eyes 
with a look like no other 
Love is like the flowers 
that blossom in the spring 
Love can be so magical 
never knowing what it may bring 
Love is so peaceful 
when I’m alone with you 
Love can be so true 
that you not even need a clue 
Thinking of love with a 
promise on my mind 
That I’ll be spending the rest of my life 
loving you all the time
