If You

If you give me wings so that I might fly

If you give me a voice, I will sing with angels

If you give me a future I will dream

If you give me encouragement, I will become many things

If you sing my praises with empty words, I will have the wrong visions

If you knock me down, make it count

If you see into my heart and know it's worth

Then why question if I am virtuous

If you see my tears know that I have empathy

If you spit on my name let, there be a sound reason for it

If I curse you my justification will be pure

If I love, you there will be no beginning or end

Only infinity

If you give me, you I will give you who I am

 

 

 

 

 

Being Played

 Today I love you

In one breath

Tomorrow, I despise you

Give you sex when you want it

Withhold it you don’t own it

Rent it out to you

For the moment

Give me money when I ask you

When you ask me

I don’t have it, I’m broke

Broke

Broke

Broke

Turn on the charm

To disarm you

Then withdraw

When you displease me

Hot and cold

When I need to be

You can be the man

When I let you

But we all know

Who wears the pants?

Don’t we

Don’t we

Don’t we

You’re weak

I let you think

You are Hercules

Hercules

Hercules

Hercules  

Take your money

Call you honey, baby

Make it seem everything

Is peaches and cream

So, you won’t discover

My true colors

Give you children

To tighten the noose

Around your heart

Heart

Heart

Heart

Now I’ve got you

You’re all mine

Long as you don’t

Recognize my deceitful side

Deceitful side

Deceitful side

Deceitful side

 Play this game forever

Because you will never

Leave me

Leave me

Leave me

Your third eye is closed

And I have bolted the door

And swallowed the key

 

 

Falling Into Love

 Facets of many colors

Angels do discover

Languages spoken through the ages

Loudly proclaiming

Infrangible declaration

Nexus soul validation

Gift received as given

 

Intermingle of lives

New beginnings

Ties that bind mind heart soul body

Overcoming any obstacle

 

Listening to the stillness within

Ostentatious passion will not be hidden

Visions of happily ever after

Exchanging of vows in the end

 

Isn’t it better to fall into love than falling out, and more notably staying in love?

Falling Out of Love

Faithfully forever

Affinity connection

Lariat placed around soul

Labyrinth of emotions

Impel heart that is dying

Narrative vague subliminal

Grotesques images infiltrated

 

Odyssey together never taken

Unfulfilled dreams deserted

Thievery of years wasted

 

Ossuary holds what remains of desires

Fidelity turns to fallacy belief

 

Languish passions dwindle to resentment

Overt gestures scream abandonment

Virulence acrimony in the end

 Evanescent to falling out of love

Regret 835

 

I think about the day we met

Didn’t think I’d be sitting here

Visiting regrets

Happy memories

The laughter

When did it turn into a disaster?

Shadows cast an eerie outline

To a life that was supposed to shine

Thought you’d catch me if I fall

Never imagine you would

Let me hit the ground

 

 

Wasted

 

Wasted years and wasted tears

A lifetime of love and no vows

The promises forfeited

All verbal and no action

Lazing the day, a way

Blowing smoke through violent lips

Sitting staring at the same spot on the wall

Wishing you can take just one more hit

Master to all master to none

Criticize that’s your only input

Can’t lift me up you can lift that blunt

Nagging and bitching is your verse

Not once did I speak an unkind word to your face

You never investigated my soul and see the hurt

Time wasted…

 

 

Familiarity

I know your touch

Your smell

The way you walk

Wear your hair

You are a familiarity

Close my eyes I see

Every inch of you

Know what you taste like

Finish your sentence

Ease into a life acquainted

With your essence

Fluently my body conveys

A linguistic only you can interpret

You are

I am

We become

One familiarity 

Three Daddy Syndrome

She gave her love to this man laid in his bed

Nine months later she cradled her joy in her hands

Ten months later he was know where to be found

On to number two who was no better than number one

Showered her with promises

Then reneged by raining blows across her

Swollen stomach

You’d think she learned from her mistakes with

Two babies one hanging onto her legs

And the other swaddled in her arms

Being a romantic and always looking for the

Best in everyone in strolled baby daddy number three

Cool as cucumber didn’t even bother with all that

Phony bullshit just went for what he wanted

And it wasn’t her good cooking

Before she could blink the doctor was congratulating her

On baby number three

But in the back of his mind he was wondering

How she could have fallen for the three daddy syndrome

Jaded Love

Love is a complicated emotion

Betrayal defines the intricate lines

Between love and hate

Jaded perceptions of

What love is supposed to mean

Should mean, could mean

Loses its definition

And clarity becomes blurred

With right and wrong

Byzantine inclinations lure away

Innocence trapping it in defiled

Annotations of excuses

Chances

How many chances will it take?

For you to be truthful

Echo the same error

Now it’s become your anthem

You’re theoretically expected to learn from your

Mistakes not keep adding to them

You know if you place your hand 

In fire you’ll get burned

The pain is excruciating, and the scar remains

Yet still you can’t conceive it

Not everyone shares you need to

Give you second, third, fourth,

Get the picture

If you’re looking for a soft heart

To manipulate you've knock on

The wrong door

Sorry I'm out of chances and

Your last chance just blew up

Flawed

We’re both flawed diamonds in rough formation

Maybe that’s our connection

Without a microscope our imperfections are not Visible

Seen with the naked eye

Defects from birth created in the womb

Blemished DNA

Errors we’re afraid to acknowledge

Doing so might give validation to what others see

Our failings, we point fingers at one another

Shifting the blame

We’re flawed the damaged reflection of

Two individuals on a collision course to disaster

Enabler of addictions

Crippled by no intervention

The end of the road is death

A black rose lay to rest on cold concrete

All flaws seep back into the earth
