my heart bleeds like an open wound
as you pull the daggar from within
all the love and memories
pour out onto the floor
seeping into the cracks
meeting with the earth
out of sight-forgotten
Tuxedo night
Get the limo
Guess
Tell
Me Lady
I am in the car
Stepping out
We gonna dance the
Night away
Wretched Behavior beat Tuxedo Big Breed
At the rap and roll Jamba land
Strange reedmember got swank dacka
The disc ah dant, man Daggar, like
Sabatoging people's dreams. Folk think darts ah
Cool thang. Watch the mischeivous b. Scandelous
Griffa dude, he self serving behind the back
Tricker,vman ain't nobody getting married round here.
Fliss dough witta, she ain't got know man. bills
kneads paying den , day when hymn her man.
She fuss wiff hymn den, she have know man.
Day shytt ain't gonna jive in here.
That shytt ain't gonna jive in here.
Up in here wiff day bankday shytt.
Day shytt ain't gonna jive in here!
They wished me to ask her
To invite all the independent
Organization.
To form a parent company
That regonizes
An Undisputed Independent
Championship
That makes each members
Company number one contender
To the overall tecgnized trophy
Rondel Pain
Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger,
Encircling each word with bigoted judgments on hand.
Down a spiral staircase a poet’s thoughts may stagger.
Semi-circular fashioned, ideas traverse memories’ span.
Hysterical, political…subject does not matter.
Orderliness and cleverness mete out the author’s plan.
Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger,
Encircling each word with bigoted judgments on hand.
Banter securely bound, released by creative augur.
Can choose many words found in vocabulary land.
Lexis gone thrilling can kill the heart of an iceman –
Stop, please! Choose kindly words; become a pain free enabler.
Poetry can inflict pain like a sharp rondel dagger.
