Beast

CATEGORY

life

Views: 19

As i open the portal between
one dimension ...and the next

In memory recall, beast that I am
Processing all memory banks 

Turn on/off sensory recall making withdrawals 
When due to balance our accounts

Doublecheck emotional give and take
To see where your digits meet mine 

Testing my inputs to the supposed limits
Of our shared space and time

You were in b*tch mode

Tired of carrying more than twice 
Your share of the load …

while I hovered about, 
carefree ...meditative

As if oblivious to the new low 
And the companion cold wave

which approached 

As if demanding full attention

And the background noise of bills due
Merged and collided… you got excited, 

Cast words like lightning bolts 
Getting personal beyond the degree

i could retain

Made me feel like i was fighting clouds

but then came fire and rain 
With no umbrella… 

So i went ghost spirit wings spread
Made rapid pace wingbeats in staccato rhythms

To climb somewhere above the impending storm 
I sensed, coming from somewhere vast, deep... 

As i fled hurriedly, at this moment

anywhere else Was preferred. 

Your words, changed instantaneously 
from warning to full attack

Went from hey, baby

to In my face-personal
All sense of calm suddenly erased

As old wounds cracked open You sent 
Precise targeted blows with surgical precision 

Cut quick my false pride, then went deep
Followed immediately by blows

BAM! …black eye 
BOOM! …bloody nose

My customary retreat abruptly cut off

So I tried to find a place in the sun
To enter a calm state to quell my beast 

As angry words shunted a rising 
Call for stage two violence emerged
From its sheath like a hard pr*ck 

a sword which once called Demanded blood

…or sex! Double-quick

Neither on the menu… Now!
So, I used a special power reserve

Before an unrelenting warrant got served
Inverting Time/making space curve…

Countered the after-effects 
Hello! It's me… 

give me another chance 
To get an instant replay

Pay for my mistakes… and tip you
For the privilege of being served by you

And if there’s room in your heart
Please allow me to stay …here

Where i believe i belong
As your forever man

U R a good story teller ine thing to remember people attention span isnt long they drift in a few lines so you got to bring it together quick I always said I like poetry cause in a few lines you can tell a story that a novel will take hundrds of pages
