Burst the Bubble


I got nothing but love for you,
baby boy, you're my best friend
We been through a whole lot together,
best buds forever, thick and thin

Now I wouldn't be looking out for you,
if I let you keep getting dumped on this way
You can't see it with those lovey-dovey eyes,
but you been getting treated like a doggone stray

You got put out of your own house,
what, are you a man or a mouse
You're taking the bus, while she's driving your car
You took a shine to being henpecked way too far

I hate to be a homeboy hater,
but that's how the situation be
I hope you listen, 'cause good advice is hard to come by,
especially when it's given free

You say you love her,
I feel you, cool ... that's fine
You say sharing is good
but you always pay the bill
when you and her wine and dine

You say she loves you too
I hear you, cool ... that's sweet
She says equality is good,
but every place you both go,
she never pulls out the purse and treat

I hate to be a Fred Flintstone,
but you're looking like a Barney Rubble
Hate to have to break it to you this way,
boy, I hate to have to burst your bubble

I hate to be a Wilma Flintstone,
but you're acting like a Betty Rubble
Hate I had to break it to you this way,
I really hate I had to burst your bubble

"Poetry And Adultry" (Adult Nature)

I used to watch sunsets in your eyes. But something changed, I began to catch you in
lies. Don't act like it's strange, and seem surprised. Your tears can't heal my pain. So stop
the theatrics and tell me his name! It's a shame, that a grown successful woman succombs
to playing games.
You think you can destroy me emotionally by your infidelity? What goes around comes
around. You just inherited a new enemy! It's hard to imagine I was sharing my lady with
another man. How could this happen? But life goes on and my heart is strong like Conan!
Love is something I've tried believing, and looks can be deceiving. See, I thought I
settled with you in a comfortable place, but I discovered a devil behind a beautiful face! I
suffered from your deadly embrace, and your lies have left a bitter taste. Once upon a time
I would have sworn you were magnificent! It just blows my mind, that inside you're just
counterfit.
You must be sick in the head, and completely out of your mind. To return from his bed
with palm prints on your behind! I am appalled you don't even try and hide it. The situation
must make you sexually excitied! Do you get pleasure from hurting those in your life? I'm
willing to materialistically sacrifice, to close the curtain on you as my wife!
People ask are you a man or a mouse? Okay - I'll take the TV and you can have the
house. So no more fussin, cussin on who gets what. You can have it all and stick it up your
butt! I will find someone else, that's not an issue; and hell no I won't miss you! I'm out the
door with these nikes on my feet. Call me an athlete, because you're left in the dust! I hope
without me it's misery for you to adjust!
Congratulations, for a short time you caused me pain and misery. And all those people
who told you to S#$t on me, no doubt you'll need them when I get out, so you can wipe your
a$$! You nasty Jezebel with no class!

When Long Shadows Leave Place Of Their Hidden Abode

When Long Shadows Leave Place Of Their Hidden Abode

When long shadows leave place of their hidden abode
of courageous hearts and great brave tales are told
for within man's savagery lurks souls worth saving
despite enormity of man's misbehaving!
Where heart dearest of desires and world's darkness meets
Are oft found fields of deep love or ashen defeats!

When shadows are victorious and gaily leave
epic the sorrows of those left to sadly grieve
as neither lights from bright sun nor glittering stars
can absolve evilest deeds or such bitter scars
For deep within broken hearts, life shattering dreams
Oft remains dark hate that fails to ones soul redeem!

Where shadows in dancing groups and glory retreat
rests dark scavengers to bow at victories feet
as clamorous dens echoes their ravenous feasts
innocent children go to sleep fearing such beasts
Can it be that all mankind has such beasts within
Born inward hidden as punishment for its sins!

Rhyme



Note- Woke today my muse raced into the house. With vicious voice, asked me this- are you a man or a mouse?
I coolly replied, How dare you ask such foolish nonsense of me 
I the old poet ancient but still dreaming and master of my own house..
Then she smiled and commanded,  write today and make deep and dark
add in horror and maybe buckets of blood and guts
again show me the soul, that first sent poetry's true spark
for too oft lately I've thought you off and a bit nuts
I coolly replied, have a seat,  watch this old poets pen ink now fly
measure the results against the contempt you too oft keep
notice my calm and the fact I did not ask you- the why 
as I birth these dark verses and do not dare bore you to sleep!
