misfire

written

Driving round staring in a trance

Not like I had plans besides twiddling my hands

Washing then drying and putting away the pots and pans

Other than that I’m just leaving it up to chance

Coordinated my life, for what it slipped right through the cracks

I guess God had to show me that nobodies above the fact

Outcomes are endless margins big as the universe

Always under packed, don’t even carry around a purse

No time for fun so I barely sit to rehearse

Words come out so strong, whether poetry or a verse

Wonder if you will get me before I’m laying in a hearse

If only we could stop time or maybe put it in reverse

It wouldn’t matter how long we were crying, aching in hurt

fun times

Once I hopped on a beat with big bro

Got hype just because I know he go hard

May not be on his level but trust I got some flows

Bars.. even if we never spoke oh no no I never choke

Come and read all that she wrote

And yes I produced the whole show

You think that I’ve been sitting pretty

And I ain’t got ish to say

But trust me I’ve been feeling these fellas out everyday

While you sitting reminiscing bout that track I made last may

I'm chilling and calculating the next beat that I'ma slay

Come see me I’ll break it down

Take a tour around my town

I’ll show you why my city is colder than those winters rapped about

I mean, unless you’re scared?

Oh you thought I’d do your hair?

Is that really all that you hear when you put the streets to your ear?

Ok, that’s fine ...

untitled

players play the games losers lose

ballers hoard the gold spent by fools

thieves steal the jewels from common folk

lashing out at elders unprovoked

uninhibited unimagined well defined

first on the floor feeling Boones farms finest wine

the crazed crave attention from everyone and nobody at all

mute watch while the vagrant take root in city stalls

the wise stay home and let the cognitively young roam

conflicted on whether to sit alone or travel out in droves

the loners forever lonely with no plans to venture out

the young linger about in anger and self doubt

control

In the beginning everyone misunderstood

Everywhere I felt I was being pulled

Wanted to say so much in such little time

Although in reality I would never speak one line

Sad to say I bottled up all my emotions

Packed it tight late at night and tossed it in the ocean

Proudly I yelled you will never catch me open

My heart now hollowed out like a dusty old pit

It’s a gift and a curse I am willing to take

I will rest assured knowing I took control of my fate

My very being I will worry about later on

As of now I am standing here faithful and strong

Yellow

Neither black, white nor grey

Could measure up to the actions you’d take

To experience such brightness in it’s place

I’m talking yellow.. in any shade

Coming in so many hues

Could have you feeling anywhere from bright pinks to dark blues

From the mellowness of your mood

To the light in the early morning dew

Yellow has many meanings to me, how about you?

Sometimes I see the faintest of yellow while looking at a beau

When everyone else has made me feel used and afraid

I am in her arms laying in the sun and it’s energizing rays

precaution

The yellow fellow bellowed loud

In wonderment of the birds and clouds

He mellowed well though without help

Possibly due to his puppies yelp

No end to wind whipping fast and strong

He must time wisely the trip back home

The walk was brisk and filled with risk

One wrong step his life he’d kiss

Goodbye but why didn’t he just check

The weather before he started this trek

magic

Man..

What did I just see

Pick up your pace

I’m trying to get back to my seat

Take a look at my face

And know that I ain’t playing

Because I heard the curtain just released

Wondering what the first act gon be

Then again we won’t be waiting long actually

Watching the magician

Said listen, I need an attendant join me on a mission going to a deep sleep

Then he turned to my left

To a couple not paying attention yet

Scanned and caught my eye to the right

Next thing I know I’m looking up in the spot light

He said come down to the stage

I have a game that I know you want to play

Took a look at my friend asking should I go with him

She looked at me like “you ain't afraid..?”

What could I say.. shrugging my shoulder’s “no way!”

Got to ...

alone

Ever felt so depressed

From love being gone after trying your best

Promising her it would be nothing like the rest

Boasted to her as if you boar an S on your chest

Now you’ve got to watch her as her soul is restless

In need of the love and care you said was abreast

With the hair and the tattoos spread across like a vest

When all along you were lacking the very essence

Of yourself trying to help all the others around

But when searched not a soul is here lingering now

Just for you to cling to when your withering about

misfire

Poetry

Floetry

Flow through me

Knowing she

Not showing strength

Growing heat

Makes you weak

Just release

Tried being neat

All in defeat

Wasn’t for the

Right one

Wrong won

Song flung

In the air

Like the lost fun

When from a gun

A bullet runs

And hits a seed

war

Complexities got us paying fees

For past tendencies

When will we see what’s meant to be

Is always crushed in defeat

Then alone can we find our way to the throne

Slice the enemy to the bone

And reclaim what we truly own

The righteousness..

The breath taking enlightenment

No more waiting the fight began

Once we seen the bright lightening

the loud thunder outlining men

let us know just what time it is
