The Passion of Life

Write as if it was simplistic
Living life like it's all terrific
Motivation is premade in the spirit
Talk to me and you can hear it
Young man too focus to lose it
Walking in the footsteps clueless
Who knew this would happen
She found something in my lacking
Opposite lust still are attracting
I'm laughing cause I'm stacking
She thinking I'm her Bin Laden
Easy to pursue til she enters
The experience of my center
We're different but similar
And I'm still into her
Can't fend off my competitor
Guess this confidence means little
Playing with my emotion like a fiddler
Complex love was so much simpler
Scenes of my life are just hints to her
Warming up from that sudden temper
She came from a time when he hit her
I rather live in her, the center, a winner
I'm not scared to say I fear relationships
But you make me understand I mistaken
Waiting around for the sign to enter

Happy MLK Day

Homage to the Greats who do what many couldn't...

Mis(s)ing U

I wish I could send this letter to her
But I was suppose to move on from her
That was my mind in the old world
But I can't seem to let go of what unfurrel
She loved me when I was still finding
Caught me when I fell from climbing
Then when it was perfect timing
I left in one breath
Told her there was no one else
When in reality, I lost myself
Too busy looking for a warm place
To escape from a recluse mind state
How could I erase the memories
No more late calls after the drinking
Now it's long days of just thinking
But i can't change my past
But I can't just keep going and crash
Crashing into her in the streets
Not knowing how to speak
Not going to the peak
Because it's scary on top
It's hard to change when you have to stop
I can't keep going with her knowing
So in one poem, I share our moment

Pour out my last

I use my poetry to escape this cave
Inside here, I am my own best slave
The face of stone with heart of shame
Cover it up with selfless versions of vain
I was trained to be better than this
But I must admit I was better when amidst
The trained eye couldn't have imagined
The real Macho Man Randy Savage
Mama always said "too much, makes you an addict"
And I just had to have it, just a crack at it's fabric
Then I was rearranged, easily blamed for the same
It was completely my fault that you enter my vault
What a web we weave when we end up caught
But these dreams of me are the only things I haunt
And these nightmare turn to night terror at eight
Laughing like you really seen some pain in your lifetime
I'm constantly thinking we were born with a life line
So I step back and look at these times invested
And know that from here on, Life has more lessons

Collapsed Thoughts

Standing here lost, but can't run from reality
No salary can determine btwn Mickey and Mallory
That is the venomous trait we contain has a name
It was always simple and plain, but my veins aims
Right to the center of the indenture souls that reign
This is the man who communes with God daily
As a kids they told me I was always crazy
Cause I wasn't running around having babies
With foul ladies that made sex look so easy
But when I grew older, bolder, and lil colder
I thought instead of molding soldiers
I would use my spirit to move boulders
Mind wide awake like I had Folgers
Mixed with Cocaine and Coca Cola
Enemy of the State, satellites are vultures
But my rhymes and lines are more refined
Told my moms at nine that I was divine
I guess that why my life of crime fell short
Did stupid things but never got caught
Had an infatuation with the thoughts I fought
Every night that I sleep, they creep and haunt me
So instead of fighting back I went into the light
The only thing that I was left with was the right
To see beyond the hype and Black Man's plight
