Memory lane

on a broken night
marinated in lost thought
a pen with papers
tried many sweet rhyming shots
they sketched and screeched of weird creeps

never-named poems,
sang them to tunes, sold to fools.
then comes salty preach~
the damn nerve to rob and thrive
off a barely legal child…

Oh papi!! Haha you are legally green! Never illegal! And yes i had those moments of lyrics writing too and they were sung so beautifully but atleast i got the credit lolol to some and some nope. You were a great lyricist and is a great poet! And I absolutely lovee the wordplay and you are funny as always.”tried many sweet rhyming shots they sketched and screeched of weird creeps” gosh i would like to read those! And you were always one of the few i shared my rustic rhymes with too! Besy wishes
