Best To Hell With It Poems

(1.)
Soothing Dream, Bathe Me In Her Light
 
Of lonely night and vivid dread
sad supper and large empty bed
denying wind, sets soul to stir
romantic memories of her
she, tender angel through and through
only true love I ever knew!
 
Soothing dream, bathe me in her light,
sail sweet passionate...

Leave My Feet In Poetry Now Firmly Planted

I tried, compose a revelation poem about truth
Did that in earnest, in my wild but honest youth
But with mind fighting a stone wall nothing came forth
it was as if I fought as South against the North.

My brain had...

crumpled scriptures, idolized whores, broken down doors, decayed floors;
it is doubtful Jesus planned on this when he bought Moses ten commandments from the local convenient store
no, I believe he wanted something more
but the Devil said, "To Hell with it, burn it to the core"
as he...

Is it the darkest, before the dawn?
Or could that old adage be all wrong? 
Decided to find out for myself
It’s four AM, I’ll know before long

The almanac says sunrise at six
Camera on tripod, keeps a fix  
It’s aimed right where the sun comes up
Ten...

You see I was mad for one day,
But I had such a wonderful time.
Banana peels for hair, curled in a fancy way,
Grape stains in me face for freckles weren’t a crime.

Now for effect, I’ll stick a couple of plums
On me eyes with slits so I...

okay i have taken the bumpy road journey
i have paid for my bad and wrong everything and then some
i have watched, heard, and listened to other peoples' excitement

I followed each an every rule,
I never fudged a bit.
I crossed my t's then drew an "i"
And carefully dotted it.

I stayed within provided lines;
conventions I observed.
But when I said, "To Hell with it."
My art was better served.

Easy or difficult to see right
Got rest with ease or a struggle to sleep at night
Always rude or someone that actually treats life
Like it's precious, regardless if others will never be nice
You're in the clear or done from three strikes
A person proud to be sober...

The Titles in your mind but the words don't process through your pen as if you just went internally blind. 

With a ballpoint sword in your hand ready to carve legible hieroglyphics on to a sheet of paper you've engraved the name of your work...

I luv this moment of being able to flee with sunlit glee 
I luv when you adore me and hold me
Hold unto me...you just got to hold on...
I'm the dusk and you are the break of dawn
I can see the end drawing nearer and nearer...

Come with me and take my hand.
Let’s walk barefooted in the sand.
We’ll talk and dance, laugh and run,
You and me and the setting sun.

Come to me and kiss my lips.
I’ve waited so long for this first kiss.
Take me in your arms. Hold me closer.
Body next...

Joel just collapsed into the brown dirt,
clutching his face in both of his palms,
cried,”Running Moon, the day that you ‘died,’
was the day my life started to go wrong!

“I drank for days, mourning for you so,
It was failure, misery, and tears!
If I’d known you were still...

Under the influence is how you live.
You seem to enjoy being a div.

Not because you lack some charm,
Not because of some past harm.

I'v no idea why you insist on drinking,
Why you refuse to stop from sinking.

On the floor you are once more,
But I wont worry,...

It’s waking up realizing it wasn’t a dream
The open wound in my heart as real as the morning light
Body numb beaten by the truth the heart just wouldn’t see
Wondering how I’d face today and pretend to be me

Your flesh was never warmer to my passion(quote) 

My passion was more than you could have deal with 

My love of poetry writing, is my secret weapon 

I am not gifted, I am black, however I am motivated by words,  

I have never found...
