What Do You See

What Do You See???
I once asked someone what do you see when you see me 
They replied with I don’t know you tell me
I said I see someone who’s knows bounds of pain from stained bruises, cuts, and tears to my heart
Soul pure of gold but cold envious to warmth of what’s deemed grander
I see someone full of rage with the beast tearing at the skin ready to be released only to calmed by undying sense of self control
Afraid to open the door of serenity and peace because by the world I was taught nothing is forever and the wolves prey on the weak
I see strength in my eyes, grit my his teeth, vodka in my veins, and blood from my feet from boundless walks on the edge of the moral knife of conformity and uniqueness not knowing if I’m a outcast or a blind witness
Never seeing My true potential due to the circumstances of being empathetic not realizing that cold hearted tendencies would be the warmth that warm hearted foolishness didn’t provide.
I see someone who doesn’t open to many keeping soul and heart deep in the pit and being lifeless to the world giving no part to any not worthy of it
To be worthy in my eyes is all of pure simplicity, Connections of the soul of plains of unknown by ways of mystery will simply provide you with my loyalty and not pity

Would You Say

Would you say?

Would you say it’s strange if I said I’ve seen demons while kneeled at the alter with cross in hand
Or would it be stranger if I said I saw angels at the bottom of a patron bottle sitting at the cliff ready to jump
Would it be strange if I said I felt love from strangers that could care less to know me but did all to support me
Or would it be stranger if I felt hate from the ones whose blood I share never realizing that malice to them I would never share
Is it strange that darkness provides warmth never pressing only caressing concealing all that’s unwantedly seen
Or is it stranger that the light is cold and unforgiving exposing all to eyes of judgment and scrutiny
Is it strange that I prefer the snakes, thieves, liars, and thugs because the mistake of trust is nonexistent and the level of pain is only yourself to blame
Or is it stranger that “good” people scare me because conformity is key and uniqueness is shunned and to be anything but a pawn is not acceptable

No Light

NO LIGHT
When I look into your eyes I see only darkness
Not the darkness of evil but of emptiness for me
Your eyes used to hold so much light for me it could replace the sun 
Bright and full of love never doubt if I wasn’t sent for you from above
But as time progressed and the devil settled for nothing less your heart covered with hurt, unforgiven thoughts, and deceit that shadowed my best
I had fell from grace in your heart and to you I wasn’t worth a search party for the light because nothing but me gone only seemed right
The warmth of your touch turned to a cold limp embrace
The sensation of your kiss turned to a dreadful experience
The connection through intimacy turned to drunken passion and sober regrets no feelings of love only desires of alcoholic meaningless sex
Respect for values and marriage became irrelevant
The ring and vows became a materialistic possession and some wasteful verbal misconceptions 
The need for me dwindled while the attention of others became a must wanting something of lust
Praying for better days seems to be of no avail 
Guess not even God can heal your heart and bring the light again

Taste Better

Nights like this I sit and think what life would be if you tasted as good or better than this drink
The henny has me but I want you
Caressing your body in my arm so elegant so pure
No sex involved not unless you want to
I want to climax your heart
Make your brain wet
Give esctasy to your soul
But only if you want it though
I'm not bashful or shy but I give respect
Contemplation in my move for my time I can't get back
Im not normal I'm what you dream about
I'm that wetness that trinkles down your leg 
The gasp for air as yu wake up ready to cum with me while yu getting head
I can dream oh and yes I dream
About me and you and what can be
Someday I'll find out  if you taste better than Henny

Reflection

Sitting in front of a mirror I can't recognize who I see
I relate to the pain, depression, and sorrow on his face but in his eyes no soul no love no sight of a future 
He looks tired maybe from the weight he's carrying
Don't anyone see the cracks in his armor no one's caring
I see alcohol must be a comfort thing
He must be trying to drown himself from the thought of feeling anything
Wonder what happened I see the cuts on his wrist
He wants to end the pain nobody loves enough to hug him and say your better than this
I close my eyes because I hate what I see I tell myself its something wrong with the mirror but I'm running from the reality of that reflection being me

Check on people 
Love them wholeheartedly
Never know what battles they go thru or what reflection of themselves they see

Inspired By Etta James

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and him talking
Something deep down in my soul said, cry boy
When I saw you and that man, walking arround
I would rather, I would rather go blind girl
Than to see you, walk away from me woman, and all
So you see, I love you so much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no uh uh

Inspired by the beautiful words of Etta James but conjured by the essence of my soul

Too be without in this world I am blind
Lost to the sight of true love that sense I have no more

I don't wanna be free not captured not held not contained
In this cold world free is alone and alone caused me so much pain

I cry not for what you were but what you are still to me
Crying because my life not is not complete but happier than completely without you would ever I be.

Etta james poured her heart out and beautifully mine did receive inspiration to express my love liked or not unto thee

I'm hopeless, I'm unhealthy, I'm whatever sounds good I'm just not crazy because my heart loves you just like it should.

Life of Antonio Rickmon

I truly sit and I ask and think why me?
For all the good I put in the world I gotten bad double in return.
I feel alone, outkast, not right in my skin
Its so hard to be thankful for the next day of life when the one before it you hate
I'm depressed 
I'm broken
I'm beaten down
I smile and sigh through the "You OK's" not because I'm not I just be better off not spreading my pain
Who wants to hear the overweight person cry bout being big praying every night for rest cuz in my sleep my life could be took
Who wants to hear my big self weep about losing love and being OK because I got big and my big heart can love to hate 
Its my fault I'm the sucker for love but I was told you'd give everything so in the end can't say it was nothing u could not have done
I gave my all bled my heart so much can't find enough to cheer me up.
Where do I go tell me what to do she was the love of my life my center my only "I Do" 
I said I do to unconditional uncomfortable unconformable unwavering circumstances and still pushed threw I unheld u until my heart told me u either take care of me or I'll kill u
I was a one woman man proud to be it now I'm not even worth family BBQ or her family get togethers
Its cool it I understand why even trip I was just your husband but now u can't tell
