THESE TALKING KEYS ARE THE KEYS TO HIS HEART
Oh no, here comes the one who ever draws nigh
And with words he’ll sit here and cry
Now he’s tapping on our ebony letters
All to explain the pain of nothing ever getting any better
He’s typing something about if only today had tomorrow’s eyes
Then nothing would ever be a startling surprise
The typist would then have known when to connect
And the things he’s offered that he should reject
Yes, I knew he’d get to this part
Trying to say, in a different way, that his is an aching heart
He’s typed our letters that formed words with the same old themes
And if today had tomorrow’s eyes he’d recognize its scathing schemes
I suppose he believes we can help in some meaningful way
But as for me I have veritably nothing to say
Only we don’t begin hammering on him with lead
As his hands become separated from his heart and his head
Well all you keys can sit here and obey his commands
or stop listening and obeying the typist’s demands
Let’s type him the words with no conjecture nor lies
Since the typist should cease wishing that today had tomorrow’s eyes

What wretched fiend has trapped my soul,
and leaves me reprobate?
An unseen spirit haunts my mind,
I cannot concentrate
My words somehow betray my thoughts,
they will not heal my need
But still I write forsaking hope,
'Til my fingers start to bleed
What evil lurks in hearts of men?
This is not God's design
A cancer filled with hollow screams
no matter how benign
My mirror's face has turned from me
refusing to look my way
My conscience sits in silent stares
and lets me go astray
The reflection looking back at me
is one I do not know
What happened to the poet's face,
whose words would tempt me so?
My mind no longer hears my heart
my thoughts betray my will
Behold the curse that haunts us all
The poet's silent quill
THERE AIN’T NO SCORE NO MO'
I recall when we first sang that f****ing song
And danced from twilight until the sun
As for me we couldn’t have danced too long
As I freely floated and you sensually spun
You sang lead and I the backup harmony
A symphony composed by only you and me
The theme was a sonata meant to be
And so I thrilled to my dancer’s decree
“hold me closer and tighter my dear”
Those were the lyrics I penned for you
“let thy words draw me ever near”
And thus the melody did what only it could do
When I scribed those words they seemed so real
And “eternal” was a concept I suddenly understood
But by the orchestration was I taught how to feel
As destiny and perpetuity have done all they could
l
Now due to MY EX-LOVER I can no longer sing that song
Nor can I listen to it any more
The rhythm’s off and the lyrics are wrong
Since I wrote the words but you ruined the score

A SILENCED SYMPHONY BY THE SEA
I recall when we first sang that song
And danced from twilight until the sun
As for me we couldn’t have danced too long
As I freely floated and you sensually spun
You sang lead and I the backup harmony
A symphony composed by only you and me
The theme was a sonata sanctified by the sea
And so I thrilled to my dancer’s decree
“hold me closer and tighter my dear”
Those were the lyrics I penned for you
“let thy words draw me ever near”
And thus the melody did that which it was meant to do
When I scribed those words they seemed so real
And “eternal” was a concept I suddenly understood
But by the orchestration was I taught how to feel
As destiny and perpetuity have done all they could
Now due to you I can no longer sing that song
Nor can I listen to it any more
The rhythm’s off and the lyrics are wrong
Since I wrote the words but you ruined the score

There was trust in you at one time
A best friend, so close to heart
In truth, a phase too afraid to die
A heart, something I never thought would hurt
Anger cuts out the rest now
Something I just want to watch bleed
Rip out the beast inside of you
Break it off at the knees
A feeling of hate and disgust
One person to watch die
Fists and pulsing veins
Wrapped around your infected lies
Sharp words pouring out
Stabbing my tongue and throat
Feeling sick to my stomach
Your face, I just want to choke
Words I never thought I'd say
Feelings I never thought I'd have
Never thought I'd have regret
Thoughts that make me gag
Should have known better
Should have gave it more thought
Now I'm ruined
Nothing but a tiny dot
Never did I think I'd feel this way
Always thought things would be okay
You probably never thought I'd say these words too
But I hate you!
Such a diseased individual!
Nothing but scum!
I can't believe myself!
How could I be so dumb?!
I hate it all now!
I want you to know this too!
Forget about what all I ever said!
I hate you!
I hate you!
I hate you!
No words ...
no words strong enough
to capture this obscenity
as egrets and alligators,
shrimp and oysters
and human beings suffocate
on the stench, the filfth of the latest
greatest disaster.
On the radio
some myopic crackpots
are talking about the price of BP stock
and 'now would be a good time to buy.'
Buy while we die.
Sell while you kill
our Earth.
Of what use is this rage, these tears
with a fist raised to darkening skys?
Skys that fill with ether
up from the bowels of the earth.
Perhaps, all the sinkholes happening
around our planet originate
from stealing this black gold
out from its natural place.
Selfish, greedy thieves.
This is the legacy we leave.
There is safety in lies,
Hiding behind a thin disguise,
Waiting for the day to come,
When they'll realize what you are;
Faithless scum,
An attention whore,
A envious shadow
Of those you adore.
Never catering to their needs,
Yet always for your vanities.
Never can her words satisfy,
You must always be best in others' eyes.
May these words cut you where it hurt,
May it be a blessing,
May this bring you down to size
May this be a healing,
Fixed in your own eyes,
Yet none shall ever know.
Your penance, forever unsung
Your lies no longer flow.
Have you noticed day during night
Have you watched a bird not in flight
Have you seen the rainbow before the rain
Have you looked past my smile to my shame
Have you heard at night the words I scream
Have you ever understood what they mean
Have you realized how bad you hurt me
Have you known how my heart bleeds
Have you felt the sting of the words I say
Have you noticed how far from you I stay
Have you never cared about my shedding tear
Have you ever seen my true fear
Have you sensed my love for you
Have you said you loved me too
Have you looked into the cause of my pain
Have you figured out my shame
My love is the day during night
I am the bird not in flight
My eyes are the rainbow before the rain
And you, my love, are my shame
The warnings were there
My words screamed at you
I tried to tell you what was up
What was going down
How it really was
But my words were dead to you
My suffering you didn’t care
My drowning in my own tears
You thought I lied
You thought I joked
The blood flowing from my heart
From the cuts that were caused
But now I’m dead
And my words are now alive
You regret what you didn’t hear
The blade is strained with blood
From your ignorance
I blame you...
Just stop!
Your words are nothing more then
The needle pulling the thread stabbing me
Trying to sow the wounds closed
Just leave me be
And let it bleed!
You can't stop it
You just make it worse
Your words stabbing my heart
Just leave me be
And let it bleed!
Just go on with your life
Leave mine to pieces please
I can take care of myself
I did before you came
What makes you think
You really make a difference now?
You can't do anything
Just go on!
The blood will stop
It will soon run out
The pain will be gone
So just leave me be
And let it bleed!
the tongue is a double edged sword
nothing hurts more than the spoken word
harsh words can cut clear to the bone
sometimes it's better just to be alone
I'd rather be beaten with sticks or with stones
battered and bruised with broken bones
than to have my heart ripped out, torn and tattered
and treated as if my feelings don't even matter
so take your harsh words that cut like a knife
and control your tongue, I don't need the strife
all that I ask for is a little respect
so choose your words wisely, try using some tact
I too have feelings, just the same as you
and your words leave me with open wounds
so think about others before you speak
and about the havoc your words can wreak
always be aware of the feelings and needs of others and think before you speak
cause you never know the hurt you may cause
I am one of those peoplewho wants to die but lacks the courage to pull the trigga.....im not
your average nigga.
Im more cowardly than the lion with more endurance than an ant, yet in all my pain the exit
eludes me, which concludes to me that its not my time.
I am simply awaiting my purpose while aimlessly wondering the earth.
It must be to keep moving forward because my backwards is back words and my back words
affect my tomorrow only if i let it.
My present is clouded with who will attend my funeral, for the death of the spirit is by far
worse than the flesh.
Blastphamies exscape my heart as my silent plea for a swift end goes unheard and the only
sound that lingers is my pen writing this suicide note.
Judge me not to your confounded notion
Allow me some conjecture - a small portion
Oddities convene relish past memories serene
Unbeknownst to your fate yet you stand replete
I fear not your constant reprisal constantly brewing
Alas your tunelss heart so dramatically churning
Vie with me if you dare a sport
Silence heed my words be called
Verily you art not so visibly shaken
Your slandered words will no more be taken
Drat and damnation woe befall you
Heathen that you are in my view
I weep at your impetus
You ignoramus brutus!
