Transparent
No parents
And what’s apparent
A product of my environment – I’m a parrot
But now.. I’m a Parent
Let me inhale your infinite effect
Your aura, scent, pheromones
Willingly I fall into the spell of your alluring glare
Enchant me with the orchestra of your vocal cords
Soothe my soul, ignite my spirit & set pace to my heart
Fill me with the taste of every lie & truth
Dispelled from the nectar of your lips, I’ll digest it as life
Cast me into oblivion with the vibrations of your touch
And I’ll gladly exist there eternally with the memory of us.
Overdose
Notice me
Know this me
Know this thing
That we call love
Dopamines
Dope to me
Overdose..
Eyes Open
Eyes open with no view in here
Hate fumed with the many hues in here
Closed minds with no room in here
The putrid perfume of doom looms in here
Time stole my dreams, no Martin Luther here
Pictures of my ex-stowed away like souvenirs
Lockdown, lights out
Loved ones barely write now
My sons are riding bikes now
My ex and baby mama got new dudes that they like now
Out of sight, out of mind
Out for mine, alpha mind
Make fire from the alkalines, just to cloud my mind
From these guys with their hand signs pantomimed
I’m dazed in this maze from my ways but I’ve paid the for the price
But dear Lord, I only feel safest at night.
High Strung
I got the news-
You said the bruise was from a night of booze
The freedoms we lose by the allegiance we choose
What you viewed was a ruse – looted and polluted solutions
An arubics of gruesome illusions
With abuse that looms and consumes
Like a drug… withdraw or cope?
Confusing, the metaphysical intrusions
An emotional nuance or nuisance, fused with
The hue of jewels, inside of a tomb, tied to a noose
On the neck of a muse, just to amuze
And hide the truth
What beauty would blind
With your mind consumed, you viewed your doom,
Proof- to the delusions of love- the knot in the rope.
Black is the New Black
Black feet- black cleats- Athlete- Black dreams
Black fleece- bah bah black sheep- black swan
Black Maybach, black man in the back seat- black streets
Black mask- black duffle bag- black thundercat
If money is over everything..then name everything under that
Black heart- black eyes – black tar, add veins
Black pain- back pain- got a lotta weight on me,
And my family waiting on me- so it’s hard to be patient
Pacing- angst in fate- facing hate- placing blame
Ached with shame- chasing gains- til you make it rain-
Til you make a name- but still, oiled skin,
Add rain, black horse, add reins- black trophies,
Add chains, green paper, add change- black life, add strain
Black face, add vain- black hoodie, add aim!
