Brokenhearted blues
When you went out just like a candle
I done cried the whole night long
cried the whole night long
rolling down
rolling down
from my head down to my shoe
'Twas more than I could handle
that night were long
night were long
all the stars had gone
lemme drown, lemme drown
ain't never gettin' over you
When I be crossing that River Styx
Lord have mercy
ain't no ferryman
gonna take my crown
take my crown
he just gonna lay me down
with a heart so blue
I done cried the whole night long
cried the whole night long
rolling down
rolling down
from my head down to my shoe
'Twas more than I could handle
that night were long
night were long
all the stars had gone
lemme drown, lemme drown
ain't never gettin' over you
When I be crossing that River Styx
Lord have mercy
ain't no ferryman
gonna take my crown
take my crown
he just gonna lay me down
with a heart so blue

About this poem:
writing me some blues
i intend to give you many bowls
I intend to give you many bowls
1.
I intend to give you many bowls.
For apples and loose change.
What would suit you
better than a bowl.
Round with primacy,
place for holding.
You are not round
like a woman
but you have more
roundness than most men.
2.
In Korea,
every day a woman
prays for her son to come
home.
Her prayer:
Every day she puts clear water
in a bowl.
She placed it in the garden.
3.
I will deposit light when you’re absent.
Figs. Water. Unchurched compounds.
Tithes and dithyrambs. Light.
4.
A bowl.
Where a mother
keeps a son for safe-keeping.
A bowl.
Fugue on the
pre-eminence of corners.
A bowl.
Cornerstone
of repeated silence.
A bowl.
Something to eat
and light is changing.
A bowl.
Where I keep
my body when my head is raining.
A bowl.
Two cupped hands
made of clay.

Until we meet again
My love my love
My sweetest love
I will never say goodbye
Sea may rise
Sky may fall
My love for you
Will never die
My angel my angel
My lying angel
All the tears I've cried
On all you lied
I may not hate
As you all i loved
Go on go on
Go happily on
As your smile all I want
Be happier more
Be honest more
As now I wait
Until we meet again.
My sweetest love

Post CommentHappy Birthday to one who left me
Take me back to first day you said you love me
To that wonderful feeling you given to me then
Even now you cheated and betrayed that love
You still my heart everyday with an aching pain
You always knew and how I loved you forever
I saw your eyes and never knew they were fake
Although you're now left me for another
You be happy with your new other
All I wanted to love you more than yesterday
But now I just dying in loving you everyday
knowing you not with me now as you did now
So I wish you two happiness as its two years
To that wonderful feeling you given to me then
Even now you cheated and betrayed that love
You still my heart everyday with an aching pain
You always knew and how I loved you forever
I saw your eyes and never knew they were fake
Although you're now left me for another
You be happy with your new other
All I wanted to love you more than yesterday
But now I just dying in loving you everyday
knowing you not with me now as you did now
So I wish you two happiness as its two years

DAFFODILS
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

About this poem:
This is one of the most famous of Lyric Poetry ever written...
I saw
I saw suffering today.
It was closed, quiet,
curled up into a small ball,
dressed in thin robes.
I saw suffering today.
His big eyes
looked at me in silence
were looking for help.
I saw suffering today.
When they reached out
begging for help
and more feelings.
I saw suffering today.
And I stood looking from the side
because I was so scared
I couldn't take a step.
It was closed, quiet,
curled up into a small ball,
dressed in thin robes.
I saw suffering today.
His big eyes
looked at me in silence
were looking for help.
I saw suffering today.
When they reached out
begging for help
and more feelings.
I saw suffering today.
And I stood looking from the side
because I was so scared
I couldn't take a step.

Post CommentCandy Cruiser
'69 Camaro
I'm working the block
candy cruiser
Glock under lock
these streets is hard
oil and cement
you gonna cross me
dog you better repent
red-haired and heels
she doing my deals
one tight b*tch
loyalty appeals
gonna branch out
get another city down
plan to franchise
I ain't no local clown
still I'm tiring of the game
tiring of the hate
500 G in the bank
to that I can relate
need a penthouse in the country
need some mountain air
the champagne sipping redhead
won't wait another year

having fun writing some rap lyrics
Inauguration/Glide
And like an eagle feathers white
I will float
high in the air
under the black canopy
studded with jewels
the dreams of all
And like an eagle feathers white
such soft beating wings
under the light of the moon
I will guard you
And like an eagle feathers white
someday you will understand
what "love" is
while I sing
to chase away stormy winds
so that forever
your smile
can warm my heart
all rights reserved

About this poem:
it is what it is
evening on a beach
The cold wind blows on the cheek
Ruffling the hair locks away
Gazing at the distant horizon
The sun glowing a scarlet flame.
Into the hollow of the infinite pale blue
Of Heaven it rose.
Its flickering tongues up-drew
And vanished in dark blue shadows
Passion sprung those sparks which flew
Together into fire.
Dancing like mating serpents
Burning desire deep within
But we knew
the winds would slap and quench it in their game.
Behind the arched palms on the beach
flowered the tall and sheltered flame.
Without,
The baffled winds thrust a kiss on your lips .
Ruffling the hair locks away
Gazing at the distant horizon
The sun glowing a scarlet flame.
Into the hollow of the infinite pale blue
Of Heaven it rose.
Its flickering tongues up-drew
And vanished in dark blue shadows
Passion sprung those sparks which flew
Together into fire.
Dancing like mating serpents
Burning desire deep within
But we knew
the winds would slap and quench it in their game.
Behind the arched palms on the beach
flowered the tall and sheltered flame.
Without,
The baffled winds thrust a kiss on your lips .

TWO PETALLED RED ROSE....
Two petalled red rose..!
Using your soft lips as a brush
While wet it in the red lipstick you applied on
The artist called love
Has drawn a two petalled red rose
on my neck…!
