Birthday Cake

A single father understanding the beauty of raising a daughter
mother didn't bother left him with lonliness standing at the alter 
atleast this little sentimental infant is his
her birthday a few days before a now more valuable Christmas
the first required a high chair, and the treat wound up everywhere 
one of our precious moments, and I enjoyed my cake

Soon she started walking, but only with me right behind
eats things she shouldn't, and sometimes my keys I can't find
babies cry overcomes comfort due to developing teeth
I hate seein' her down round the time to put up the wreath 
onl a booster seat needed, still can tickle her little feet 
together forever we laugh, and I enjoyed my cake 

My eyes look bruised, now first hand are the terrible twos 
yet the heart feels so much, I don't even hear the blues 
happy birthday to her in my finest harmony 
as she blows out the candles one, two, three 
this year seated happily on my knee
kissed her heavenily forehead, and I enjoyed my cake 

Mom suddenly risen from whatever cellar she was imprisioned 
delivered a court order with precision, tears now my only vision 
seems she won a custody case, one where they didn't have to see my face 
I batter a batch in an attempt to satisfy my sadness 
little did I know it would soon lead to my madness
for four days I sit in distress, alone, with no cake.

I'M All Yours

Just over two hours in, 
all your endorphins are set to perma-grin
both sinfully spilling potions, 
and emotionally losing composure
inches from your passion filled eyes, 
now incapable of conjuring any lies
five fingers filled in strawberry blonde, 
quivering spells like that of a magic wand 
our breaths seemingly syncronized, 
bodies entwined dearly, nearly mezmorized
delicious, coming true emotional wishes, 
several positions, never stopping the kisses 
soul searching possibly over, 
did I finally pick my four leaf clover 
reviving my love once as a leak, 
now euphorically pours
as I hear a whisper in my ear
an angel speaks, 
"I'm all yours"

Love Control

I never ration passion when with a woman 
thats why the crash happens, alway so sudden 
emotional thoughts not chopped up in levels 
easily taken and taught by blonde beautiful devils 
actively giving up living until the very end 
handing over my heart, hers now to apprehend 
stuck, pretending like myself I can control 
stuck, defending a dependantly sickened soul 
love flies far too high then dies 
catches my empire on fire from lies 
disguised cries to hide the surprise 
disappearing a feeling I had in my eyes 
peeling away days of salty decay 
hoping a new man will awaken someday 
eloping to a path that takes me away 
to maintain faith, keep the demons at bay, and pray.

The Murder

With the sky now theirs, 
and blackened shadows everywhere 
who defends this atmospheric layer, 
as other flocks never dare
rarely overthrown, 
as they will take blood out on one of their own
harvest of speak is by killing the weak, 
protecting the impact of a predatorial leak
but be blessed with an infestation, 
and your state will stay in aberration 
poets pose this unmistakable label,
pulling thy beak deep from out thy fable 
the forever hovering hay man on a stick, 
wasn't enough to scare these crows 
I'll just enjoy the flight of the click, 
the murder soars, 
as the murder grows.

Waiting

she is screaming 
he is laughing 
baby is crying 
feelings are slipping 
I am watching 
the hand is slapping 
she is falling 
he's still laughing 
I'm now crying 
she is rising 
he is pushing 
I am fleeing 
baby still crying 
she is bleeding 
he is kicking 
I am flying 
she's not breating 
he is seeing 
he's now crying 
I'm now calling
