To My Little Sister

To my Lil Sister 
Lil sister your 19 now and I just wanted to put make up words on paper for you/A couple things for you to remember/ A couple things I hope you'll do/ in life there are two significant dresses you'll wear, the one you'll wear to your wedding and when the you'll wear to your funeral/ so make each dress you wear in between purposeful/ God made you the person you are so know that you are inexorably beautiful/ Flawless to no end/ Fall victim to no sin/ you are your mothers daughter it is in your dna to dress as a purposeful woman/ Lil Sister/ Their are going to times when your heart feels like life is cutting into it with the precise precision of a surgeon/struggle bring the depression so make sure that your faith is certain/ Live every day as if you were Jesus/ Live every day like your the star of the best filming  feature/ Lil Sister/ there is going to be a war and nothing I say can prepare you for/ but just know that every prayer that our mother and father does for you is a knock on the Gods door/ Keep your faith and know that your not 19 years young your 19 years powerful.

Heart of a Balloon

I'm tired of writing love poems and trying to put spins on them;
So for inspiration and ideas i go brainstorming;
But each thought, each idea seems to be a duplicate of the last poem;
"The glimmer of her memory never seems to diminish" if i should quote one;
The most amazing part about all these poems is not that I wrote them;
its that they're all about you;
so a thought about you is always around the corner from my mind;
But loving you was always harder than putting thread through a needle if i was blind;
And i could never figure you out even if i was smarter than Einstein;
See pain and love reside in the same exact address of my heart either one would answer the door when you runged;
Like when you didn't say nothing when your brother called me out my name and we got the scrapping cause i ain't no punk;
Or when you finally said i love you who would've thunk;
In my hearts mind i know i have to free you from the prison that is deep inside my aorta, pass the pulmonary valve; 
there you'll find all of our memories that were once upon a time; 
before i unlock the doors with the keys of forgiveness and free the memories we once shared like wind to leaves; 
I just want you to know a couple things to put my mind at ease;
You were my definition of love when problems arose we chose to be more discrete;
Who knew my heart would tremble, broken like a Haitian street;
They told me to be patient and that time heels all wounds;
But you leaving left a big whole in my heart the size of a balloon;
Ive been walking around these streets hoping nobody pops it so i wont end up a guy in a loveless casket

Girl of My Dreams

Girl of my dreams
Sometimes I feel my heart beats hate faster than the heart of Satan/
Seeing you in his arms brings me to the level I'm hatin/
Ain't no fakin that I barely know you/
Only met a couple times and I'm convinced that I'm the guy for you/
See baby that dude ain't worthy/
He only noticed your beauty occasionally/
Like February/
Shower you in chocolate and flowers when you need to be loved on the daily/
Today you walked passed me and smiled/
Meanwhile I'm thinking there goes the girl of my dreams walkin passed me now/
And tonight I close my eyes/
Dreamin bout what our love lives might be like/
How I would kiss you from your lips and end up between your thick ass thighs with no cellulite/
But tonight a lil different/
I dreamt bout scheme that could probably get me sentenced/
The idea sounds crazy but the danger seems acute to the lovin well be makin/
I'd go find out where he sleeps and/
Wait a couple weeks and/
Make friends with the guy and sell em some pills that could put em into eternal sleepin/
Ain't no time to be afraid no more it's time for bravery/
It's time to put into action the world class scheme that will get me the girl of my dreams/
I walked up to em lik whats up buddy tryna get right?/
He answered what you got? I pull out some pills in bag that's air tight/
I said just put a couple in your drink and it'll get you tighter than the seems in your jacket/
See wacthn em all them weeks got me knowin all his lil bad habits/
As he pops the pills in his drink that will ultimately put em in his casket/
I imagine myself as king and you as my queen/ how you would make a garden and I'd would rake the leaves/
He lifts the cup the cup to his lips and bring life to my dreams

Love You More Than You'Ll Ever Know

Right now There are millions of words that can describe the difference between you and i/ in fact it's bout the same as many times as I thought of dying/ it's not something I'm of afraid of/ I just feel bad for the days I wake up/ surely if life is worth millions I'll take a pay cut/ these days I found myself forgetting your mistakes and stuck remembering you/ reminiscing bout the days I was the gum stuck under your shoes/ you had the remote control to my happiness and the bomb that would blast me off in fumes/ maintained the same affection that was given and never acted too cute/ but my eyes seen your beauty as expected like the rise and fall of the sun and the moon/ my kisses were the prescription for life's emotional wounds/ my hugs were the band aids for the cuts left by other dudes/ honestly it's either God or luck that combined us two/ if you were to fall 6 feet under I'd be in the ground too/ because our souls are like knots that boys scouts do/ the feeling of ecstasy when our lips touched/ the softness of your skin the essence of your core ball up in a fist to give me the umph I feel in my gut/ verbose were the words to define our love/ my tongue struck the  strings of your skin/ making you sing the lyrics that you can only find from within/ to think I used to call you and hang up before the phone rings/ the thought of me became malignant a smile was always safety pinned/ intuitive without the life experience/outside what we shared glistened/ inside the pain was ubiquitous like a major organ was missing/ if I could, I'd take me out back and stomp a whole in my ass for ever hurting you/ wishing I was the man waiting on that altar instead of sitting on the pews/ as the pastor ask "if there's anybody here that know reason why these two cant be husband and wife" I jump up screaming I Love You!!!!!!!!

Can You Really Be Faithful

I've learned little secrets bout myself that I collect like fireflies 
I put em in a drawer in the back of my mind hoping by the time I'm asked bout one it would've already died. 
I feed the beast that craves flesh and intimacy as side. 
Knowing my one true love heart is on the line. 
I keep my infidelities secret and mask lies with pride.
And when regret and shame starts bubbling up inside. 
I wrestle my emotions with a simple grin and smile. 
And if she ask me if I ever cheated I'll do what any faithful man would do deny deny deny.

Criticism

I appreciate criticism love to hear your thoughts/ enlightenment can't be bought/ your words can be the net to the pimped butterfly that is too evasive to be caught.
