Libations

Drink of my love
Taste of the luscious pleasures
That are my emotions
Imbibe my fantasies
Can you take a sip
And be enamored?

Succubus

Don't make me
Come to the place of fantasy
Where nothing that is my desire
Will be fulfilled
Don't make me
Excitedly explode from delight
That is seductively imparted in my mind
That cannot be obtained
Don't make me
Fall for your charm
To snatch away from my heart
That which cannot be replaced
Don't make me
But can I?

The Box

Don't question my integrity
Cornered yourself off from the world in your
Barricaded box where you forever feel jaded
I didn't put you there but
There you choose to put
All of your cares and worries like somehow
They will go away
In your darkness your eyes have yet
To adjust and when they do
You will find that what you thought
Of me was not true
I did not hurt you
But you choose to rather
Take your frustrations out on me
When all I did was ask if I could possibly
Be there for you when you are
In need
I didn't leave you
I wouldn't forsake you
I am not God
Nor do I claim to be Him
But it is impossible for you
Through everything that you do
To see that I am not a demon
But I can't convince you otherwise
So I'll just leave
And take with me
My honest integrity

Apocalypse Coming

As the end of existence
Became apparent
The thoughts of man became
Exceedingly wicked
Fear
Drove man to fits of
Uncontrolled rage
Destroying their neighbors
Killing family
Exercising unprecedented acts of
Chaos
The end was near
And what was driven further away
Was love
Terror was practiced by the enemy
Less than by the protector
Protection came
At the price of deception
And the exception came
At a heavy taxation
The end is near
And just like the fire in the eyes
Of man burns fierce
So shall the surface of the earth

Famished

There I go
Wandering aimlessly in your
Picturesque landscape of
Sugary stories and lollipop lies
You fed me so much
That I have grown
Syrupy secret intolerant
You have told me your last tale
You have sold me your final dream
I have decided to eat something
More than your fantasies
There is meat to be chewed
And vegetables to be consumed
I
Can no longer entertain your
Complex carbohydrates of
Wishful inconsistencies that leave
Me
Improperly nourished
I will take my plate somewhere else
And hope that they feed me
The truth of love

Started From The Real Bottom

I started from the bottom for real
Not some kid in a nice neighborhood
With a pool in the backyard or
Mom driving a nice car and
Playing in community leagues
I came from a place where
When you hear bangs
It's not a game
Where the flashes aren't from cameras and
The hammers that drop aren't from Home Depot
Where nice rides can become hoopties
Real fast
I started from the real bottom
Closest I got to being on television was
Being a bad kid and standing on the floor model
Or climbing the entertainment center
Only hit shows I was in
Were the ones where I was getting hit
I don't have to lie to make it seem like
My life was hard
Playing That's My Car
I must have owned a hundred car garage
But I never was one too big on wearing chains
Jewelry wasn't my thing
So I'm not all gold in my rings
Or my watch because my phone can tell the time
Today's society will mimic whatever they see
Like seriously
How many entertainers really lived what they say
How many rappers do you think
Sold that many keys
Or shot that many things
Or hit that many broads or
Travel that many times
Even most of them are living concert to concert
So if anything
They started from the bottom
And still there
Because they don't own a distribution deal
Or a distribution label
Your favorite athlete
Will never afford a team
Your favorite actor
Cannot afford their own studio
So tell me
Since you are so proud that you
Started from the bottom
Why can you not afford
To stay away from here
The real bottom

Shadow Games (haiku)

The burn that I feel
Is caused by your lack of thought
How can I trust you?
