Frostbitten (06162025) every time it rain it pours
in the house the ceiling
falls on me rolling thunder
lightning strikes we don't get
along were always fighting
it won't be much longer I see
the sign a strong wind is
blowing a storm our way
I been through many mighty
winds before that failed to
knock me down it's sad when
a house is not a home
it feels like the Astrodome
don't know if I should stay
in place or evacuate
the choice is my decision
to make you baked me
a cake you say its fosted
with love but sorry doesn't
cut it you say if I leave
I'll be making a big mistake
but arent mistakes made
to make I don't have a
taste for sweets don't like
to throw food away you
been in the kitchen
preheating the oven planing
to bake all day but
too bad the cake
you baked gone to waste

Power Nappin (06162025) catch me driftin
think I'm slippin
you gotta be sippin
I think you trippin
I'm dreamin of buildin
a boat strong long
lastin durable enough
to float puttin parts
together fixin mixin
liftin fittin gettin
the cogs to turn
like clockwork sheer
precision stickin it
all together mixin
matchin makin blocks
click like legos
twisted split loco
highly allergic to quitin
writin hittin pitchin
a flow trowin a fit
pitchin a b****
catchin a drift
eye shut wonderin
should I or if I
should speak hold
the thought keep
the peace or go word
for word verbatim
with the inner me I
suppose I should pause
nah it's a flaw blame
it on confluent energy
I'm not the fault
addicted to the
vibe high on rhyme
versify versitile
shiftin stuff around
speedin up slowin
down diggin deep
like a nose picker
pick a nose until a
nose bleed profusely
didn't come to sleep
runnin on fumes
came to snooze long
enough to fuel up and flo some mo

My Father (06152025) today is father's day
oh, happy day to all the men who deserve to be celebrated everyone who knows me know it's not one of my favorite days I learned how to forgive I forgave but there are some stains that won't go away though they may have faded with age they still can be seen it is written to honor thy father and thy mother it is also written father's do not provoke your children to anger it took a powerful dose of humility to lose the hostility and aggression I fostered some I grew up with didn't have a father well of course they did but never seen the man or didn't know who he was I seen mine all the time hate is a strong word I try hard to keep it out of my vocabulary but that man brought every ounce of animosity out of me my father don't deserve no honor after all the hell he instilled in me I don't believe he deserve to rest in peace everybody said he
was a good man my reply he was a lousy dad |
Question Marks (06152025) stripes across my legs arms and behind remind me of how deep those extension cords cut into me like lacerations from a sharp blade my mother is squeamish she hates the sight of blood and violence it's hard to believe she's the same woman who drew blood from me disciplining me cracked my brothers head wide open with a 1970 platform shoe she beat us purple black and blue I sustained broken fingers fractured ribs from being wacked with a broom stick and hit with broken legs off wooden chairs if that ain't violence I don't know what to call it I mean it behooves me how she leaped from a woman who committed all those acts of premeditated violence to a woman who swears she wouldn't harm a flea or fly the lie detector determined that's a lie I got the scars to prove otherwise |
Contributing Factors (06152025) you can love everybody and still end up alone

you can have empathy and show compassion and still get treated like you done nothing to help at all
you can be considerate but still have to put up with the selfishness of others you can be as nice as you want to be and still you have to deal with rude and nasty people you can try your best to avoid trouble and still run into a trouble maker you can be on your best behavior and still allow someone to pull your trigger even smiling can cause a chain reaction of dirty looks you can say please and thank you and still not get the same politeness in return you can say excuse me and still have to shove someone out the way you can pay someone a compliment and not get a thank you in response

My Sister Can't Fight (06042025) one time I fought a windmill
and the thought of me fighting
a windmill tickled me so
much I lost the fight against
the windmill I couldn't stop
laughing she was all over
the place I had no choice
but to moved out the way

Morning's Verse Of Life (06032025) time holds its breath before I draw my own
wrapped in quilts of generational filth
the shadow of secrets whispers to me
awake by the suns first touch
steam rises from the kettle
sipping tea in the ghetto in the kitchen
window I gather thoughts
while birds rehearse their daily verse
I'm here to hear the first song
taking note of music ringing in my
ears my eyes wander
through the cracks in space
between asleep and awake
in the hour of beginnings
vaporizes the weight
of what occurred on the pages
yesterday the canvas of today
awaits the brush dipped in paint to
colorize the blanks between the
leaning tree's speaking hope into
being focussing in on the words
written on lea... |
