Entrance

Enter me! 

The road from an embryo to an entity

I've lost it all..

Bye virginity

Sayonara divinity

Left with my enemies 

Them or me, can't be haunted by their memory

In a Mexican Stand-Off with him, I, and inner me...

Please

Don't be afraid!

Be Amazed!

The maze of a raisin in the sun

The raising of a son placed upon a mom

Who gave chase to her wants and never wafted from the brunt

I was made in a dorm

She never stayed in a dorm

She wasn't too dumb, she was just too young...

And dangerous is what they labeled me

My race so enabling

My color so disabling

Maybe I was born with it or maybe it was Maybeline

All made up-A cover

But it's hard to escape the scene

Reality bites I had to figure out away to dream

Over hungers growl, figure out away to sing

You know a hood nigga always had a way to scheme

Like Nino puffin cigars in the carter hid a way like kings...

Of Princes of Paupers-No visit from papa

But he didn't know he had to visit the bastard

Its hard to write that sentence, the pastor

Told me God's my father

You mean the same dude who is the cause of the Christmas disaster

Unwrapping next months late rent

Both them niggas missing in action

Fathers found in my features made in both likenesses

Never thought I turn on TV and see him, I might as well try the shit

I was scared to meet him, didn't think I was man enough

But he stepped up to the plate taught me about manning up

And down

I been making moves since the OJ Trial News

How he gonna show me how to be me…how to be He?

How to be Me?

Why? Because my mother was paying bills

When I wasn't dodging detention I was avoiding getting killed

What's the problem with me sagging, I ranked number 14?

Where he saw potential I couldn't.

He just wanted more for me

To the world I was just adolescent adder

Where you saw a man, I saw a ladder

I saw a gram, when I saw adult

Trying to support my fam, telling time by my shadow

Silhouettes...

TUMBLR

Heisman to Hell

Ain't no Vicodin for heart ache

Running with the truth

White Bronco for the car chase

Absence of evidence is the evidence of absence

Sole witness to the presence of my present for they asses

Whats a crime without passion?

Especially when the passion is crime-She's mine Motherfucker!

I bought them panties you ripped off,

Makeup you messed up-You kissed death when you kissed her

Nicole…

I don't remember our first kiss

But I remember last ones, each one a special gift

I knew what I had, but you didn't know that I had it

Stolen by this nigga covered in blood and one of your fake eyelashes

Tragic? Bitch Please! You didn't suffer nan

I am a MotherKiller, instead of a MotherFucker now

You had kids by me, but you don't want a brother now?

Left him dead at the door, and dared him to say he loved her now

Man I wonder who's the owner of this glove I found?

The tragedy is that I gotta live knowing that I failed

For the first time in my life, and I can't let that ship sail

I hope to end up where your eyes land

But now death to me is jail

It all started with a Heisman

It all ended up in Hell

....strike the pose...

...pull the gun away from your head...

Monsters

He's a monster.
Oh how I longed to proclaim that, exclaim that, scream that, with the fear of a child-But
I can merely state it
In a stasis of pure belief

She's a monster.
Oh how I longed to proclaim that, exclaim that, scream that, with the fear of a child-But
I can merely state it
In a stasis of pure belief

He's a monster.
Although a beast of a different phylum, he hails from that kingdom
While not royalty,
The crown of broken hearts rest upon his head like thorns;
...He was merely ignorant.

She's a monster.
The evidence of lore and tears from the empty bottles of foolish men's testimony
While not apparent in the forward,
The climax always rears the final punctuations' perpetual fruition
She was the textbook terror.

He's a monster.
He invaded to evade; not to reign
He could have found a yielding and loyal subject,
Who yearned for a sire to claim the exclusive and covetous throne of her heart.
He was a conqueror of hinds, not hearts.

She's a monster.
They way my name's last syllable slipped off her tongue and dove into my hopes
Seduced her horror into my heart
Plunging me into the oceans of her facade mythic depths.
Yet, even without common sense's air, I was able to breath
Her cursed kisses maimed me with gills

He's a monster.
No fool, nor child this road was familiar as my failures
But his grasp, hugs, kisses, and glances painted the Picasso of things hoped for...
...over the reality of things to be-that were
I knew, I just did not want to-That Bastard!

She's a monster
Yet I still swam in my grave, searching for her echo
A zombie, rendered brainless from the mirage of my life's prayers
She caused my heart to think and feel for me!
She effected my heart to think and feel only her!
She defected my heart to hers-That Bitch!

He's a monster.
The memory of his reveal is as clear as pastures
As my defenses last hesitant instincts recoiled,
His true form coiled; and blasted into my vulnerabilities ajar window
Raising up and rearing his frightening yet all to familiar hood
His salacious hunger for his impending feast of my loves satisfaction
Caused his fangs to rain saliva upon like a volcanic ash

She's a monster.
The glorious illumination of her light dwindled to a star from the sun
And as I gave chase, the faint glow grew; slowly outlining gaping and crooked jaws
Littered with the bones of missing Saturday night soldiers
They ached for me to find my home amongst the bed of bodies
And as her gullet created a drain, I flushed any resistance

He's a monster
And as he lunged towards my me
All I could do was accept what is, and do what I knew best
I smiled...

She's a monster.
Roped to her heart hungry stomach,
All I could do was accept what is, and do what I knew best
I smiled...

You see I am a monster.
And with the inevitable looking so inviting
Enticing me to feast upon reality, the foil fantasy
Every predator is prey...to something
....and its feeding time

...eat or get ate...

**Phone Rings**

Hello I think I have someones shirt, it was misplaced in my dry cleaning?

Cleaners: Oh hi Mr. ..., I met your brother he is a funny guy he came in with your wife last month to pick up your dry cleaning


Cup full of crown, drinkin staring at your name in cell phone

One cup for me is too much

Fuck that nigga that's inside you now

Ill just prayin waitin on you to get here

Another cup of henny, I don't even drink liquor
I don't care how long it takes you to get here

Confused between nights and mornings
Cuz the sun isn't important
When your pluto....what you mean im not a planet just granite

hook

Disappointment

Thank you for comin cuz noone is leavin
God just lost another angel to his own demon
Wish I could go but ain't no escapin from freedom
--And this was torture
Free Clinic Waiting Room this is torture
Kept away from the snakes in the orchard
But damn eve for Christ shakes your just a whore for
The fruits odor, thats why you inhale, engulf and reorder (Another Please)
Hard stay updated when you fuckin the twitter Orca
Dumb bird tryna keep him at capacity
An Opacity to your insecure voracity
Combat Mortality...Fatality
Like Cano took his heart cuz his had yours
And yours has mine and I had to get first
Why in my dry cleaning did I get that shirt?

Beautiful Sprout

We were victims of youth
Suffered from the symptoms of truth
Now to you it was fiction, a dupe
Confused, by the white suit of a love so new
We had the condition of tooth
Armor was enamel
Even though enamored, we weren't armed for a hammer
Love became luv, broken hearts like our grammar
Hands burned by the wax from the flickering candle

Too bad we were affixed to our ages
On each other we were fixated
In you're eyes I saw my life, and my sunshine in the reflection off your big braces
Our break was hard to fix because we had to skip spaces
Its hard to step up the stairs as a pair when your landings in different stages

And you lie in different places, with different people...placeholders
Replacement players took their glow to shine and takeover
We got drunk of local affection, the long distance made it hard to stay sober
No need for calling or texting, physically connected to others
Became dejected and towards the west we turned our rudders

Even after all these years I still smile when I hear ya name
Or whenever I see the flower labeled the same
What we had was an umbrella of us despite the supercell of doubt
So although it never blossomed it was the most beautiful sprout

Devil in A New Dress

How you in my rear-view and my windshield?
It’s like a sunny day, with a wind-chill
You just blowing air like a windmill
But you take me there, horseshoes and timb heels
My heart feels likes it’s ran ten hills
Stop for breath looked up and seen a mountain....range
I thought I found a fountain, I found a drain
Cuz she broke my heart, I out here rerouting veins
Connecting them to vages with absent daddies
Vagina Vulture d.b.a Saturday Night Savage
Sunday Morning Vanished
Thanks to my guest, half dressed, mumbling something up in spanish

Te queiro. Te quiero?!? Te quiero! Ay dios!

No me conoces? Donde vives?
I never look up, cuz I know god see this
I aint ashamed, hell he's right here with me
In the club, acting up, he was right there with me
Main reason after Remy I still found that jimmy
I know he's right here, but why is he still right here with me?
I don't deserve it, why aint he deserted?
She did, bounced like it was right before the offering time of service
Goddamn Lucifer, I love ya daughter Lucy
Hot love, but no fire crotch Danny Bonaduce
How she got so many faces and so many races?
How I meet her so many times in so many places?
How she in so many sizes and so many ages?
Don't get her wasted, just point down and ask can you take this?

She, they always reply in the positive
Insecurity modeling, unbottling immaturities swallowing
Don't know if it’s A.I.D.S or aiding cognitive-abilities
But it’s the facility for this soliloquy
Menstruating mentally
I don’t know if stability is in my vicinity
But I know these hours aren’t ours and these minutes aren’t meant to be
So every second is success
Trying to move on, but I see my ex in every club dress

WHY WON'T YOU KISS ME BACK?

Why won't you kiss me back?
The freon that courses you veins has caused your lips to feel like...nothing...
My cries, no matter the intensity, sincerity, or vulgarity, illicit that same damning response....a smile...
The smile that once filled me with a joyous fervor,
Now is a red-eyed gleaming terror

Why won't you say you miss me back?
I miss you, and I throw my emotions missiles, with the muscles of a million men,
But they always miss you...
Your presence should denote your receptive
But whether it was dropped, evaded or intercepted
I can't hit my target, if its guarding...its self...

How is your smile a sword and a shield?
I can't take anymore!
I drop to the floor and and kneel
Lying on the floor of shards of broken glass from the picture frame
Tears streaming down upon that glossy picture of you
The only bit of you that remains....
Why won't you kiss me back?
