Periodic Table of My Love

“For I have seen you from far places
Shinning in bold light because you are made
Of Copper and tellurium; CuTe,

You are like the transition metals
You display love of many colours,
You are the sunshine that speeds up the release of
Oxygen I breathe in gears of photosynthesis,
How cute?

Periodic table of my love,
May we physically bond?
And be like the ionic bond
To display our love like graphs on the Cartesian plane

May our love be hard to fuse like 
Like ions with the intra-molecular forces of attraction
Be like an equal sign,
And you call me “Lo” and I’ll call you “Ve”
So we can produce a product called LOVE when we fuse?

Damsel you are like a sensory neurone to me,
You act like an enzyme on my happiness,
You duplicate my happiness to its level best,
You become a protractor when I’m down there,

My oxygen,
My love gene,
My star akin
That shines my goal scene

How?
You become a kinetic energy
When I’m drowned by poverty
Caused by long struggle of loneliness,
My love,
My heart,

You are the love in the oxygenated blood
That enters my double pump
Through the pulmonary vein,
You are like a scientific calculator that smoothens
My number struggle,

May I say?
May I play with you like letters of algebra?
May I be the gradient in that steep slope
That will take us to the home of our love?
I mean the periodic table of our need
Let’s heed through like a linear sequence
And be like…

Periodic table of my love.

Let’s make love and shine like crystals obtained
After crystallisation,
Accelerate uniformly like a pair of ethanol as it slangs
Between bonds of chlorophyll,
Let’s chill and make our love our quadratic homework,
So you will tell me when I’m wrong like when it reads Error 1,
2 or 3,

My periodic table of love,
I want to watch your curves that reminds me of the brackets in
Mathematics,
Touch your majestic body that makes me to cry when I’m about
To slice an onion,
May our love be like the mitochondrion?

May you be my nucleus?
And guide me like equations of motion,
Drive my innocent mind into your bosom akin to 
That of an angel,

Periodic table of my love,
Be my love,
Be my time,
Be my tickler,
Be my world,
Be the periodic table of my love.”

Lethal and Dope Lyrics

De Tod Motet//
Listen to my raw//
Observe my new law//
Innocent quench hunger waves//
With my black rhymes//
We are reaching the last days they say//
Be with me in soul and everyday//
Because i see dogs piercing sharp emotions to you//
And my truth is to make you believe that its true//

They say i seem like a threat to their financial shares//
Some even concluded that i seem like a male lion//
And about that; i think they know how i carry my crayon//
Because my soul leans against burning fires of the great lion//
Of Judah Jamaicans call him Jah Jah//
I'm under eyes of my father and his father who made him//
My life journey father//
I'm here to serve the people, not dictators//
My fellows don't be afraid of this fierce look its for worms//

When we preserved our talents//
Woke up early in the middle of dark nights//
Just to copy down what I've been dreaming the entire night//
How can i not fight?//
How can you try to make me look dump and useless//
All corrupt niggas and slay queens out there answer my damn questions//
God said i shall bring truth to negotiate deep alters of the most wanted need; the world//
And i never make empty promises//
Tor up your dirty papers because i'm a damn pimp//
I'm for my lovely world//

Setbacks triggers other ways of turning the world around//
Just like the adrenaline i was told about in high school//
I don't care who says a word my tutors also know about the dictated names//
Of every piece of God's creation we find on earth//
I would call it nicotine and name nicotine dirty sands and//
Muddy lands ravaging the law against corruption//
They may sweat to catch glimpses of my prescrption//
And to destinations the would take in actions//
But they won't stop talking because in truth telling i'm like a little kid//
I only care about how my people and toys stay clean and how they equally feed// 
Then i would play with my space kid//

I'm not here to make money nor seem famous//
I won't need the half of it to feed my family and jobless people//
Jobless?//
No//
Everyone is hungry these days;//
The blind//
The Kind//
The right//
Those who fight to reach the required height/
Those with sight//
Those with peace humour//
I don't know you can name them//
The crippled and those mentally dribbled//
The ones with only one single talent//
But kept in something called schlool//
Just to make funny out of him//
Blame me at least i make some sense//

Daddy i'm sorry i could have not dropped out of school//
Because back then i wanted to be a doctor like mama//
And bad this got between our love and you had to give mama some time//
I take my responsibilities like a thug//
But i think my mind was still amused by televisions of//
Corrupt spying//
I only needed the man's voice because it seems like i was//
A bull with horns and scared mama//
Papa i went through drama and trauma//
I don't know how many times people called the a rascal//
They are not wrong and so do you//
Rest in peace dad i could have used that time to learn//
How to diagnose diseases caused by fumes of their luxurious cars to save your life//
But now i think heaven has a new angel because the matter//
Is in the eyes of the product not the day of our death//
A breathless though lifting souls to greater heights//
I thank you God//

If i do all the i can and say what i feel is lethal to murder//
Of talents i'm locked in the comfort zone//
And the more i get comfortable is the more i get corrupted//
By what my heart tells me its a bonus to the people//
My lyrics are like one ripple//
This is the NEW life principle//

I want to give you a the path//
I'm a sinner but know that we have no idea of how heavy one//
Sin of my friend can double mine//
Someone ever knew about our love since she was born on//
September 28th//
This might be how God sent his word//
Take a risk//

I know i look manic//
Please don't panic//
We are in the same pain and graphic//
And I'm just in my thug life world//
Fighting for you and me//

I ain't going down this time//
They tell me about tomorrow//
What about those in the hunger's lair waiting for death to row//
Die, you guys are all tripping like hungry dogs//
How can she be clever and i don't know nothing?//
How can i be lethal and she be parallel?//
How come my brothers and friends out there are suffering//
And i'm here feeding by scents from your big utensils and// plates//
No! Go to hell//

I scream my suggestion and keep my middle fingers up in the air//
I would punch a thief to death at night for i know mama's is still in sight// 
Back stab us but we don't care//
At least our hopes are flying like a white kite//
Resemblance of peace and i know they are right//
There are clouds which looks white white//
That's God's bite//
And everyone is to remain shut//

I know how minister-son-and guards of corruption//
Played my little girly Miss Kay to let emotions take journeys//
To only bring back tears//
And all i could see is that i was still lacking the fearless to impress my bless//
It was like a curse//
And she knows i love here//

I know the truck that they used to deliver teachers who brought//
Confusion to the young eyes//
We are having big situations here//
The innocent are lost to prisons but the son is hidden behind the whereabouts of my girl speeches//

I traveled and stumbled a million times//
Every move i took was criticized yet the selfish with voices just looked at my rhymes//
I fought my way out and wiped the tears//
I gained thug life and the momentum to go forward//
Lets change and share the happiness//

Teenage Pregnancy All Mathematically

“Teenager, 
The growing youth, 
The future leader, 
The light of the nation, 

Listen to the words, 
All mathematically, 	
Like the equation y = mx + c, 
The y-intersect you can meet at
As a young girl or boy, which might
Make a proper fraction, or an old man
Or lady to make improper fraction, 
You might be driven by multiplying

Alco by hol which produces the product
Alcohol, thinking that you are algebraically
Dividing the eyes of parents so they won’t
See you. Hey! Listen you are multiplying your
Day subtractions on this earth, 

Subtract the other part of your external life partner
If you were simultaneously connected together
To be non-linear simultaneous equations, which might
Be difficult to be simultaneously solved, don’t fall in
Love with a man who cannot stand perpendicularly to the
Ground, 

Become zero today, you don’t need
Addition or multiplication, 
Always power yourself to zero to always and
Constantly become one if instance you were mistaken
And shaken, do not be between brackets of subtraction
And addition if you are addition, since subtraction might
Swallow you because of her wide mouth, 

Teenage pregnancy, 
All mathematically, 

Avoid being in each and every man’s hand like a scientific
Calculator, don’t make circles like a compass around boys
And men, don’t helplessly lie down like a thirty centimeter
Rule, be wise and focus girls and boys, remember teenage pregnancy
Is not girl’s pregnancy,
All mathematically, take care”

Thato

“The weak heart is at state
To let you know me better oh dear
Thato, the star of my happiness,

Holding tight and lifting up your warm 
Heart is my vision, may you be my future?
Hold and warm my heart with your gentle 
Hands oh dear Thato?

Ask me if I really adore you oh dear Thato,
Act upon my loneliness and figure out;
Accusation you hear from people is not just
A joke, inspire me to smile and grin more dearest one,

To the crest of your joy I am dedicated to lift you but
The little I could do is to write about you in verses that I sew,
Though I cherish you, I know I am not worth keeping, but
There is still that hope of you being my future, oh dear Thato!

Of all the multitudes here on earth you’re still my future to be,
Obviously all eyes are upon you my dearest Thato, star of my happiness,
“Ouch” is a word I would guarantee not to unveil from your diction; unfortunately
Only I cannot be with you until days beyond,
Oh dear Thato.

Sonnet of My Shinny Comet

“Beauty in the comet
I may die for your beauty just as a poet
Sonnet of my shiny comet,

You shake my legs by your bright eyes
That shines like diamonds falling down your thighs
Leaving me smiling like a gambler meditating the dice,

Your skin is akin to that of a toddler
Are you really older?
Or you just grow faster?
My comet, you just look young and sober,

I guess I’ll collapse 
when I meet your soft lips
Will I even hold those romantic hips?
I just can’t draw you on my poor ribs
Because I don’t stay within the tips.”

Can I Forget You

“My spine whispers your name to my ears every day, 
Cleans my back every time for dirt to decay, not even when 
I'm dead, answers are written on sides of my rib cages, 
My blood is a mixture of your voice and heart, 
You give me the delving tunes every time when I am alone to dance, 
Can I forget you? 

My eyes are made from your image that is not from a digital
Camera, my mind needs a critical mass of thoughts to remember
You, why should I forget you? 
You are in my heart and critically in my heart, 
You are my heart beat, physically my heart beat, 
I'm going to die from credits I take just to be with you, 
No way for you to sleep in my memory, 
Can I forget you?”

Man of My Word

Words are spoken by me and out of my mouth, 
Heard by my own ears to grab the information I seek, 
Seen through my feelings and emotions by my eyes, decisions
Are made by myself looking at their strengths and truth they have, 
I got no friends to claim the advice I seek to live a cubit life, I have the potential
To guide my life from dusk to dawn, 

My thoughts are interpreted from my head, get long
Like a thread from my cloth, guided to my responses by my effectors, 
Man of my word.'
