Long To be beside yourself Poems

With the Moon and Stars concerned.
As it was not content to share the sky...
And not prepared to wait its turn.
So the sea was simmering and boiling hot
Without the night's return.

For years you have ignored me as though I was a stranger to you, so what...

Sometimes being in love can make you feel drunk,
Like you're stumbling trying to walk,
The first I love you got you sprung,
Because your words aren't making any sense when you talk.
Sometimes being in love makes you...

Heart strings tug and strum a piece of melancholy
The mind vacillates from lovely days long past
to today's bitter reality

Longing for that loving, motherly touch
Oh, so quick to get me line when I was out;
that kind...

When Head Is Big and So Is Ego

Sure was truly such a terrible sin
When you have to be a has been
And some day when old and gray
To go, don't remember which way.

Each time when over...

Someone spirit,
Spirit is in the air;
The color Purple, royalty that you wear;
And a Golden Crown, that's placed upon your head
Mercy and Grace surrounds them,  yes

Postcards of a ghetto life,
facts of being black
It's a common assumption in the hood
that you know how to talk smack
Lay the whip of indignation
smack dab on a hater's back
Twist the insult in deeper,
than give the...

Another eccentric façade flows decadence
Beside yourself with a quaint mockery
Counting blessings you sought after a hummingbird life
Do the scars that you cherish set you free?
Escaping your feeble yet cynical pestilence
For my exuberance is tainted by...

Wouldn't it be great 
if all our problems would go away
and wouldn't it be grand
if all our issues would disappear

Sometimes we feel like 
nothing will ever change
Sometimes we feel
like nothing will ever be repaired

Wouldn't it...

Alone, 
Dark, 
Cold, 
Left beside yourself, 
In this world, 
No helping hand, 
Only judgemental remarks,

The demons you seem to face,

Together we walked,
Side by side awhile-
You, on your road,
I, on my sidewalk;
You, in pursuit
of dreams yonder,

And you chose to
take a different course,
Turned...

To see the golden glow that surrounds it,
Or hear it playing...
