I See

I see spectrums of contrast
Spectacular complements
Of pulsar blast
Rose fields that last and last
Beauty not even fiction can 
Surpass

Dark eclipse elipt a cast
Freezing nights and warm grasps
Present past and future laughs
Rickashading smile with only 
One path

I see a universe in one
Where you are my sun
And meteors go on forever
As do the darkness of your eyes

As I explore you each days
Like catching butterflies
The vastness of you has me mesmerized

My Kids

It’s been years
I synthesize the pictures
That I have 
Adhesive binds my pictures
and I grasp… a pillow
I never washed dishes 
While they laughed
Or ran my little girls bubble bath
Not to hot
If only I could rot in their faces
All they know is that 
Daddy waste his time around them
Through image I kiss you all good night
I love you my kids
You kids be my life

Your Material

To talk that interesting on the bean lingo
Once a time the crime was mine
Loving my logo
I talked that swirl I gave that girl a no show
Playing with the beat of the lovers dojo
Believing no doe would bake a human worth keeping
I’m leaving memories obscenities just run
but best times In life will come
But we took the sex and broke their heart
left none
But stories to tell the guys
Or maybe that's just me who obtained
Some of those girls spitted the game
Mutual use loose Novocain
numbing brain while we both came
and left
If two negatives product a positive,
how can we be wrong
A love song is like a dream song
don’t you think
I'm pimpin the  pink dope rockin the mink
Can you just picture I fall and I sink
In a future so haze one mother and babies
and curl
Maybe.. I'll touch a baskin robins girl
who’s flavors will complete me
One scoop, two scoops a life maybe...

Keeping

I couldn’t zip up my pants and walk out the door
Ground floor the sleeper
So much weaker, no, you are of importance like the
Tims, the hat, and the shoes while rockin’ the wife beater

Who’s the speaker if two become one
Authentic mirroring like moon eclipse on sun
Darkening the light towers leaving other ships 
Cold stranded forsaken
If we should kiss forever, who would be clever
to stay with the one lip, wrinkled and shaking?

Why do I lay here breathing and taking in an individual
Personality
Holding the hips and arguing that it’s a technicality
And you are special
Because you are the hold
I’ve never held before

Daily Swim

When a pipe is all the light in the world
Brotha say he love you and he touch another girl
New York sucka hug you and he pick pocket cheese
Freeze give me every thing you value or I'll ease your pain
Sista beggin put a bullet in my brain
Took aspirin for the taxin and I'm out of nickel
bags again
All the players value is the back end
Pop a sista lock a sista throw her in the deep end

Amnesia

I’m recalling the white dress during homecoming eve
Portraits, flowers, we sleep, we eat 
I greeted and fare welled with kisses to leave
Phone conversations were constant and ever more after beeps.
I remember the plague
Riding while living a page, kissing above stage at the talent show
The places of lust, a nurse’s first aid 
When you loved me a while ago
Cancer threat, notes would set tones in everyday
You always acted like the tears went away
Stories were soothing to the feeling in my arm
On my chest the poems rest the buckle up alarm
I’m recalling jealousy, mistrust, rumors and dieing flowers
Getting caught in the shower and walking around Afnorth
The barbecue, the amusement park, picnic, and break up

Sky

Rays glow I walk in deep hue
Sparkling toes and colors of feel 
I feel that without eyes
It was real
Through finger snaps and taps I drifted still

They loathe my clothes of fantasy
Because that is not their style
They loathe my clothes of fantasy
Rejections so worthwhile

I spin out skin and fall on clouds of canopy
The softest things in make believe 
Why want the end of such a sky
Nobody sees
The sad drop to their knees
I relieve your suicide
Zero denied
Who closed their eyes
In hopes for nothing more then ease

Taken through bile through sky you smile
What is your fantasy?
It makes rejections so worthwhile
On clouds of canopy

Words

These words I write to fill in blanks
Till empty has less more
With a paper on a stand
A scripture seems more pure

I wrote what’s red the pen that bled
You feel the words that pour
The painted signs with deep lead lines
Eased all my times of gore

I wrote these things
On blank I sing
A surface for a weary king
Of all machines utensils work
To sounds of heaven whistle rings

These words I write
To smite the plain
Confusion loss and 
Pain remain

On this paper
I leave my pain

These words I write
For meaning

Smooth Ways

I put women on layaway. Hey!
It does not cost a cent to toss
So love your McDonald tray
Go ahead, want it all
I wont crush your dreams big or small
Rather brake up than to fall. Shameful you all are
wasting them numerous calls
Chances of you knowing me
I’m not concerned
Fast forward past a toss or turn cause tin man
burned his heart
Follow the road to the red bricked apartment
Women cook the food never opened in my kitchen
and I eat while they stay starvin
Call it dedication
I'm testing patience, seeing if you can stay
wastin away and psychologically
your paying for what one girl did one day
Yeah, her name was Carry
I find engagement scary, the population too vast
I can travel through January's Februarys, and December
drinking bloody Mary’s cause they help me not remember
I drink to you and things we do
I'm down with the Bacardi
Breakfast in the morning please
The vending machines in the lobby
Them jokers tryna rob me
Don’t think that I don’t care
I cared enough to use my lines
and I might keep you here
to vibe with me ride with me
in my rent-a -car
as long as you drive a girl
They don’t care who you really are
I’m the star that stole your wish
You kiss like your breaking a spell, ha
Stop waitin
These thoughts test my patience
I am rapture chicken in grease
You young women lack education
Hungry, parched, starvin every heart beat
fuels no elation

Sitting Down

At times I thing to scream and shout
Forget what time is all about
I choose the route without a doubt
To just sit down and drink it out

Standing underneath the rain
I find a way to ease the pain
Smoking keeps me from insane
When life seems like a constant train

If in the world there is a cure
Something pure I can endure
They speak of love not in my house
I’ll just sit down and feel it out
