Carve my insides
To call mother my womb
Barren is bleeding
My blood is barren
Sprouted wings instead of seeds
Overseen my spawn
With Auntie’s Eyes
Leave them to their own
nest me so I may care for you
Nest me so I may
Lift me from the dust
Build me a home in desert’s dust
Hawkeyed above
Glaringly in awe
Nest me so I may leave you
Nest me so I may leave
My blood is barren

Who taught you to lie like you do
Alter plucked four vows to renew
I never gave my number to you anyway
Your ritual contact
Archaic, save it for another day
Offering a lockdown, in an old habit of love
Pacify a template thou, you didn’t build it for yourself
Reckoning comes when your fate sinks in
And the habit you held paid the dowry for your bail
Starry eyed and str8 coat man
May leave you for a fight
Vows made of glass
Will never feel right
Suit fed to flames but
Forgot to flirt with
A narrow vision
Richer poorer cherish me
Easy to feel good when you feel good
I plan to fool you for a long long time
You plan to love me for a long long time
I plan to fool you for a long long time
You plan to love me for a long long time

Teacher, I’m elated
Got my gold eye glitter on your chalk
Talk and act like peasant
If the pupils on top what will the kids say back
What will the kids say back
Keep callin on me
And I’ll keep raisin my hand
I keep drawing on you
hold your intellect above my head
Golden Star is your comeback
Using Duct tape to take
My lipstick off
Lesson would you give it to me
Just cut me into your
WORLD
My sad analogy’s weight
Could be less if not within
WORLD
YourWorld
Rejection, given to me
you use me to build your world
Come on and give it to me
Lemme ride in your world
Keep callin on me
And I’ll keep raisin my hand
I keep drawing on you
Hold your intellect above my head
Golden Star is your comeback
Using duct tape to take my
Lipstick off
Golden star is your comeback
Would you give it me
Im gonna become your world

Don’t wanna give away
My Maleficent betrayal
Burial of unfaithful paranoia
Denial leashed hounds
Can’t make me emote
Temper empty wounds
How can pain resurrect
Without compliance
Combat old instincts to remain
deliberately exposed
In our mutual captivating
Oscillating pendulum, my love
Hysterics frame our relating/communion
insatiable commiseration
Live within cycles
Assuage blistered wounds
How can pain resurrect
Without compliance
Combat instincts to remain
intently exposed
In our mutual captivating

Chimera

All the Grey you see in me is a practice of love to avert a runaway
I wanna see you take off, an escapee all inked up in my love
You keep us up and keep me outta my box
But I bury our feet to take us outta our thoughts (and)
Every blank you see in me is a restitution to a love that I lost
Held if you stay with me, your suffocation is self serving
Gold if you mine with me, your reservation is my rendition
Cold as the fire you seek it’s frozen frozen
Froze over you, preserving you
Face down a false escape and our virtue’s gone away
Bell hooks anthem in my heart as I hold on to my chimera
Miraging a place for us, between concrete and the waves
You can crash onto me, break on me, we will see,
love let us find fluidity
I’m as gray as you want me to be
I’m as blank as you believe free
Space embodies the in between
We embody the in between
Face down a false escape and our virtue’s gone away
Bell hooks anthem in my heart as I hold on to my chimera
Miraging a place for us, between concrete and the waves
You can crash onto me, break on me, we will see,
love let us find humility

Occupied, embellished togetherness
Hearts on full with regular
In a cul de sac of self worth
Safely near my neighbors
Cataract complexion
blends with my beard now
I’m camping out on the lawn
A performance of pioneerism
9am-sa turnoff, crop top
Won’t be worn on weekends
Cause the closet’s full of suitcase sentences
Sprawled about our bedsheets
Vacuum, ouroboros (ur oh burr ohs)
All my habits and identities
Comeback autonomy
Something beside myself worth seeing
Hovering at the front of your gaze
Same structured syntax
One you deplore
For the monotony of stability
No shame, your desire
To escape repetition
No shame your desire
To escape repetition
My shame is the fire
Keeping the light burning
The same keeping of
Tireless repetition
Expand my ouroboros (ur oh burr ohs)
For habits are inevitable
Reclaim autonomy
Restate a dynamic self

In the height of it all
It’s the manner when you take what you want and you don’t think twice
Meanwhile convinced your hands are clean
Pacify guilt by any means
Collecting trinkets of disdain
Symbolism won’t seem to translate
Myth in your mouth when your words caught fire
Hope heat will unleash lost desire
catered ‘round a fantasy
Label me a crook-caught prize
Never know where true power lies
You bend to my will
letting go of the way thought our love could co-exist
Thought I might resist
But the time spent apart
Water down, bone bare
The World seems lifeless
Getting over the heat into grey
To restore some former balance
Just for a moment
Romance me back into bed
Where we can reignite again
My love transformed to a general
Privileged to enact law
Robin Hood up to no good
Who is fed from your feast?
Narrow minded justice view
Policy formed to serve you
Directed through galactic triumph
Prisoner of mirage

Immersion rapt in conceited lust
Mirroring past lovers aches and pains
Playing rejection’s lost trick of denial
Deciphering subtleties, soften trepidation
Vanity has settled into its domain
I’m engaged to a plight, and I’d, rather be wed
Pride punishes a face behind the act
Solar doubling, alternate revolving
Mask my moral deficiency
Through Instinctive consumption
Uproot your innate reputation
I’m engaged to a plight, and I’d, rather be wed
Divine company invited to gambol
(Bury doubt’s whispers)
Is it true you only
You exist in my memory

Chosen, as if by memory
My fond love, came to reconnect with me
New names, gifted to each other help me
Soften your stubborn jaded heart
When will you trust that what I say is for real?
You know you are the one I wanna keep around
Even if my life is spent playing the fool
You’d know you are the one I keep around
Sleepless, I crave every inch of you —- but you
Won’t believe my devotions saved for only one love
Soothing you with the finest luxury
Spare no cost cause my love is free
Need you to trust that what I say is for real
You know you are the one I wanna keep around
I’d rather spend my life lookin’ like a fool
Just so you know you are the one I keep around

Might we be better friends than lovers
A long time hanging around
Seeing if I’ll come around
Closeness bound by emotive addiction
Feeding you love was indulging in self constricting
Should have been easy but I instigated
So hard to be myself around you
Nothin right
I am not the one who’s gonna hold you
Right now it feels hard for me to say
Spent too long trying to mold into
Found my pain in what I thought could be
Fantasy erased and a part of me fled with it
I am never the one who’s gonna hold you
But Impossible for me to stay
space I feel behind me
Laying where you used to be
Yet I’m waking up and realize
Fantasy’s erased and a part of me fled with it
Too high a cost to commit
Despite logical deficit
Feels too arduous to quit
Now my skin carries a ghost
Your sweat’s lost imprintation
Why aren’t I grinning?

Claim made spites the fallacy of lust
Preparations for defense
Glance sent softly yet undetected
A risk too high to be connected
Cloudless affair is one you prefer
Seal my mouth pretend it can’t hurt
Rather be home amidst all your comforts,
Dressed up even in your shower
Are you bound to a pride, rendition of tirelessness
Bathe salted skin hope to soften
Crooked teeth crooked tie we won’t leave behind
What you’re longing
Reconcile my deepest desire to be
Merged with your lips; a remedy
Shaded-in silhouette running somewhere
Too loose to listen
Ghost me when I try to confront
Star crossed losers on the hunt
Seemed like it was too real to be wrong
Stiffness that won’t ache to belong
Barter me to save your two cents
Spend trying to recommend
Something a little more permanent
Tease me with some terminate plan
Are you bound to a pride, rendition of tirelessness
Bathe salted skin hope to soften
Crooked teeth crooked tie we won’t leave behind
What you’re longing
Reconcile my deepest desire to be
Merged with your lips; a remedy
Shaded-in silhouette running somewhere
Too loose to listen
