“build”
“Miscommunication leads to complication”
talk to me
tell me how you feel
whats on your mind
stop letting the past hold you back
on something
that could be amazing
Just like you i come from pain
built in pain, stored pain
Pain buried in deep.
But i'm here, openly, willingly
trying to give my all to you.
Ready to let all guards down
i let go and you let go too
let me show you something great
This is a poem about writing a poem
Pick a subject in your mind at that very time
Then look for words that rhyme in sound and in manner of time
String them together arranged in certain specific places
To capture your situation, feeling, vision or sensation
Use verses to take a short break before you start to recreate
Following the same pattern as the rings of planet Saturn
Try to explain whats on your mind deep in your brain
Make your neurons inside fire in coincidence
Portary your message like you are modelling clay
Show some emotion in a slick smooth motion
And describe what moves you deep inside
Think of it as a photograph with your own autograph
Your message will be read and if good it will spread
Like a weed using the wind to disperse its seed
Into another head it will spread like butter does on bread
What was said, will be fed then shred until it is finally dead
I don’t know where we're going, I don’t know what to do,
You don’t talk to me- well hardly, but I hope you'll tell me soon.
Are you leaving me for another woman, at all, or just for you?
I just want to know, I just want the truth.
I ask that you tell me whats really on your mind,
At the moment you're with me, but I cant help but wonder “why?”
I wish you would share whats on your mind more,
You pay attention to other things so much I tend to get bored.
You say you wanna talk, but then you never do,
you go off on your computer and do the things you do... Play and listen to your music too.
What's so wrong with tellin me what is on your mind,
What are you afraid of telling me, Would ya spit it out this time?!
Are you leaving me for another woman, at all, or just for you?
I just want to know, I just want the truth.
I ask that you tell me whats really on your mind,
At the moment you're with me, but I cant help but wonder “why?”
I don’t know where we're going, I don’t know what to do,
You don’t talk to me- well hardly, but I hope you'll tell me soon.
A mind can be a helpful thing
Like the memories it brings
When we need to laugh and smile
Forgetting troubles for a while
Or teaches us the things we need
In this life so we succeed
Doing things we love to do
Makes life happy through and through
It gets funny in the night
Sometimes giving us a fright
Seeing shadows everywhere
Forming monsters for a scare
It can lock away the past
From times we didn't want to last
That caused us pain and lots of sorrow
Wanting a better tomorrow
When someones asks whats on your mind
You don't know what they might find
Something funny, sad or scary
Happiness or something weary
Surprising us each time we see
What's in our mind and memory
i can tell
your not well
it ring my bell
it as a sign
leave hate behind
try a difference line
WHATS ON YOUR
MIND
Baby sit down
Let me tell you what happen
It seemed for that moment
Your boy was jus nappin
She came in the room
Cryin real hard
I told her to talk to me
Tell me how it start
Before she even said a word
We’re kissin on the counter
For the moment I imagine it was you
I was holdin in the shower
I never seen it comin
And im sorry this I gotta tell you
She’s pregnant with my baby
And its due in june
It was jus one time
And I never did it again
But she sent me this letter
Still the words are in my head
Now its off my chest
Baby tell me what your thinkin
Tell me whats on your mind
Tell me how much of me you really hate
She has her guy
And I should be all alone
But baby please forgive me
Please done leave me and go
You are my only one
And I promise theres no other
Now thats all that I can say
And I promise there wont be another
right to speak
right to be neat
no doudt
right the talk out
say whats on your mind
now is the time
to see the bright light
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
I think ill make something new!
Something somewhat different with the words i spew!
Something about lost love to be found.
That will end up driven right into the ground.
Or in a box called lost but not found.
Or make something about death so hollow and sad.
So sad it will move the hardest prison grad.
Graduet.
Get it?
But anyways maybe not.
Maybe ill write a story of a baller getting shot.
But yeah ill probly not.
Whats on your mind though?
Have you got the time to find the time then let it go.
Just grab a notebook and let it flow.
Its like riding on a breeze nice and slow.
Like flying a kind real low.
Its easy unless its not simple.
Like when you use big words to sound obedient.
Which only rymes with words like expedient.
I dont even know what that means, i just threw it into the ingredients.
Sounds like a word thats rather deviant.
I like to build my poems like a subservient structure.
Im loosing it so bad my brains about to rupture.
This write sucks it doesnt make any sense.
Hence.
The reason im on the damn fence.
Becuase nothing i seem to do.
Seems to make sense.
so tell me whats on your mind
im here im ready to listen
speak your mind
the one God gave you
what is it
why you holding back
is it something bad
what is it i need to know
you say it was important
now you say its not
explain yourself
im not going to beg you
since your not speaking
im done with your lies
done with you period
feinto
so begone
Your confusing me,
playing with my heart,
telling me you love me,
then breaking me apart.
Make up your mind,
I wont keep waiting around,
I wont keep falling,
if i'm only going to hit the ground.
If you love me, I'm yours,
If you don't, that's fine,
Just please tell me,
so i'm not on the back line.
Don't spare my feelings,
I don't like being lied to,
I'm a big girl,
Ill make it through.
So just be honest,
whats on your mind?
tell me you love me,
Or just leave me behind.
You touch me and I quiver
With your eyes you caress
Up and down my spine you send shivers
As you look right through my dress
I know whats on your mind
I know what you yearn to do
But with me you must be kind
Then I will make all your wishes come true
My touch makes you weak
You crumble at my smile
I am everything you seek
Fantasizing for awhile
You know whats on my mind
You know what I want to do
With you I wont be blind
I just want to make love to you
This thing we have is special
No words can describe or explain
Not much is essential
To keep a balanced plane
We know whats on our minds
We know what we want to do
Its not about the tie and bind
Just discovering something new
What’s on your mind when you stare into the distant
When our eyes meet and you look away
What’s on your mind when you see the tears
When you ask how I’m doing to people who hardly know
What’s on your mind when you smile at me
When you make me laugh at your stupid jokes
What’s on your mind when you hug that girl you “LOVE”
When you walk hand in hand with her down the hall
What’s on your mind when you see that I still care
When you realize your not the only one who still cares about the old us
What’s on your mind… What’s on your mind
don't hold it in
tell a friend
its not a sin
only way to win
is stop lying
and say
WHATS ON YOUR MIND
Woot woot its all games and fun
Think you gonna ruin my life? You better get one
So you screaming out the mouth with the rest of the world
Thats cool, just dont come to me talking bout hey babygirl
Everytime i turn around, all you do is envy
Say whats on your mind, just be real. Feel me?
But if you dont like what I do
Then up , up , and away thats you
See enemies and friend aint meant to become one
You either coolin it or chuckin it
Deuces , im done
12.5.10
I'm lying her wondering
whats on your mind...
Wondering if its the samething
thats on mine.
Do you want the same things
in life i do?
Or am i just gonna get my
heart turned blue?
Theres things i need to know.
Things i want to know.
But i cant find the words to say.
I just hope you feel the same way.
Because i dont want to get hurt.
Nor do i want you to hurt.
Theres more than just you and I.
There's little hearts that will be too.
So the day i read this to you,
than i'll know what to say or do.
