Behind the taint
there lives the truth we seldom speak
Behind the taint
hidden realism that we feint
and life illusions we dare seek
immersed in aura of mystique
Behind the taint
For real love, she eagerly waits,
All she could get were several hates,
Her lips even have many open gates,
That deliberately close lates,
Her eyes have several inbuilt baits,
That still could not find her good mates.
She is actually hell-bent,
That it's true love she really meant,
Even if it's just for a rent,
At least love will be in her tent,
Her beauty needs no lick of paint,
But the voice of love is still faint.
For long she has remained a chaste,
Her face, with a nice beauty paste,
Yet real love, she still wait to taste,
And old age knocks her doors in haste,
She fears fallen for a love heist.
Since there's no true love near her sight.
She's one of the heavenly saints,
Tho' covered with several bad taints:
Her neck is with several tiny dents;
Many of 'em were seen thro' many vents,
And in her heart she has a pain,
That, she will have to forever feign.
If taken for A Saint
And black they just him paint,
Except The Truest Saint,
Who smiles down cruel taint
And in swipes finds the quaint?
Who won’t oneself repaint
Arranging for White Paint,
Asking for Man’s restraint,
To self with God acquaint…
Watching out for fresh taint
And being renamed A Saint?
First Word in Hope of Glory by Jon Meacham
when our sins do taint
picture of him people paint
was such a good Saint
what we did was next
read Bible in form of test
sometimes are perplexed
pray and God ensue
what we will normally do
may hear cat meow
teach and educate
to God my works dedicate
express and narrate
of various forms
we saw bad weather with storms
while sea warms and warms
truth had been expressed
when the did we were impressed
sinful also stressed
must give attention
to what was their intention
we have to mention
had gone to heaven
many of them there did know
loved and will adore
assume that you know
yet never understood it
why it had happened
Taint A Brain Then Paint
Each brain that is ain't,
They would try to taint,
And to understand;
Put hand in sand
Picture of them did paint.
Had looked the other day
On beach and seagulls say
Hear us screech,
Trump impeach;
Sea washed picture away.

loves abyss hates skank taint
cruel ships paint tank
sinks pinks plank
drank stank
alibi
alibi
steam
cream glues
dream book shelf
pearl helps curse nurse
times cries fried thens eyes
stone stars catch green stare
known knees knead knife knots
ready round found sound whind times
ticks verse tocks locks drops slots
outta yalls minds
grind stone

The moral taint
is self-contained.

The only exercise I've done this month is RUN outta money
Won't do much for my physique but my outlook's still sunny
I try to plough through
The bills that are due
But the strain is overwhelming, don't laugh, 'tain't funny
black silk
what is forbidden makes the heart fester
quick kicks in my chest
never want it to rest
her body ready to produce milk
wanting all of her to be felt
taste smell swell
heat meets passion
and we melt
sweet meat
another dove on my tombstone
singing a secret song
too many things I have done wrong
