Let Your Mind Drift...

Poetry: Work

THE JOURNEY.

Feeling completely alone

But in the zone

simply trying 

to do what you gotta do 

But somehow

losing you

yourself

is gone

or slowly slipping away

out here acting crazy

screaming your own name

sounding some other level of insane

talking like

where you going?

why are you doing

this, that, & the other?

completely separated

outside of yourself

& creating a new self

who eventually

needs no approval

from no one else

HER

She'll open up if you treat her right

Get to know all about the insides

The walls and the crevices

the weird little fetishes

She'll open up if you treat her right

There's no problem with how deep she is

Dive into the deep sea and really see 

How deep she is

How pretty she is

How delicate she is

She'll open up if you treat her right

Give her a little patience and time

Won't have to work too hard

Before you know it 

your too hard

and things have gone too far

But just far enough

Need a gentle touch

I promise

She'll open up if you treat her right

Blue Skies.

Blue skies

and I'm stuck inside

Why so dry?

Need to moisturize my mind

let something else inside

rather than my usual thoughts

On a cycle

or turning table

Whichever makes sense

But none of it really 

makes sense

YOU

Your skin

reminds me of soft pillows

I want to lay on forever

Your eyes

remind me of the beauty that lies

in midnight

so dark but somehow shine so bright

your smile

something so beautiful

it always feels like

I haven't seen it in a while

and you?

Man you and all that you are

is so far past

my ability to explain

and put in to words

you and your soul

are the best things

I've ever come to know

brings tears to my eyes

and moisture between my thighs

the world is what I want to give to you

Oh man

YOU

YOU

YOU

Divine Love

I want to be all the things you need

I want to be all the things you want

So can you tell me and keep it plain please

What exactly turns you on

you can speak it

better yet show it 

Because I know you're better at that

I need examples, previews, explanations

give me all of that

What is it you crave

Want me to say your name?

Ever so sweet

as you enter me

and I receive

you and your body

Oh baby tell me

what makes you naughty

but so sweet at the same time

you're so divine

to me 

I just hope you see 

you're oh so divine

and you and your love

are right on time

Brewing. Just Brew.

So tired of the noise

but I crave the noise

a distraction or subtraction

of all the shit

just want to leave it

for the birds

they're the ones who dropped it anyway

wishing and praying the demons away

they've gotten so bold

and clever with the things they say

correct words to hurt just right

keep me up all hours of the night

but smile and wave

you've got the energy they crave

your life appears to be so good

so keep a lid on it

don't get too rude

wait till your home

so you can just BREW

Change In Taste.

Have things really changed

or are my taste buds not the same?

See I'm a little confused

Cuz I used to crave you

and this

but now I'm through

doesn't please me in the same way

and I don't know if its the fact that

things have changed

or my taste buds just aren't the same 

Final Countdown.

Done & Finished 

With all of this

no more time

no more energy

no more attention

revenge has gotten into me

And I don't like it

All these vices

causing crisis

& catastrophe

Better for me to gain distance

and progress in solidarity

No End In Sight.

You can feel it deep

through and through

all the waves it makes you go through

you can feel it all

almost the same as a fall

in a dream

so real it seems

but reality kicks in

& you notice

it was all a figment 

of your imagination

your image-nation

you see these words pour out of me 

and once I'm done

the sea that's me 

still runs so deep

too deep

for me to see

an ending in sight

at this point

time to take flight

Lonely Souls

Think I gotta stop

runnin' away from myself

for the sake of my mental health

Think I gotta stop tryna help myself

So consumed and confused

Everyday lyin'

Actin' like I know what to do

Goin crazy. don't think you'd last 

a second in my shoes

so instead I choose

to use and abuse

Somehow it seems I'm doing so much better

No written letters

No double texts

or missed calls

ain't nobody worried about me at all

but stay hopin' they never get that call...

Straight silence

While I drive myself insane

within these 4 walls

it's almost like I'm trapped

But can't put no one else at fault for that

feel so attacked

every time a helping hand is offered

I only know to push back 

As if I don't need a thing

ignore my phone, every time I hear it ring

Repetition.

Repetition is no condition to live in

Constantly making yourself heard

For no one to really hear

What's really to be made clear

over the years, months, and days

of this life

there's stress and there's strife

there's happiness and bliss

so what's really to be made clear

through repetition

that's just no reality to live in

constantly giving explanation

to your creation

from the factors of life

no way to be

not the way of life

Aight.

Drip, Drip.

I can hear in the distance

more of an echo

eerie feeling to the night

rainy day outside

but a feeling so dry

steam emerges

perhaps dry ice

don't really get this

shrug my shoulders

and say "Aight"

Game Of Life.

There's always more

in store

its never over 

till the last breath

is taken

shook to the core

petrified of this game

unexpected turns

unexpected losses

unexpected gains

in the end

there will be 

multiple meanings

behind your name

and your frame

will never look the same

Stagnant.

Tickin'

Tockin'

The clock just going

But I'm here

Stagnant

No movement detected

Is my heart beating?

My thoughts are still zoomin'

My soul feels something

That you simply can't put into words

Share them they say

Open up, they all want to see

But do you really want to see?

It's dark

Gone be a long time before you recognize the light in me

Searching and searching

Through my mind

My brain

This unending sea

of thoughts, memories, and emotions

To try and decipher me

I do the same thing

Sometimes it burdens me

Sometimes it brings me joy

Sometimes I just want NOISE

To block everything out 

Waste of energy to 

Scream or shout

So I'll just sit and wait

Till I have something to do

Something to occupy my mind

Something to take my focus

Maybe, hopefully, unlikely

Someone will notice

Let You In?

Let you inside?

We talking body or brain

Make me rain

or drive me completely insane

Rain pours

Steady stream from my eyes or thighs?

Insanity causes the high pitch 

of my screams and cries

Why oh why

is it like this

Can't get satisfactory bliss

Without a bucket load of craziness

So you want me to let you inside?

We talking body or brain

Cuz I don't think either of us is ready for the rain

or the membrane

I'm Good. We Good.

I'm good...

Right?

We good... 

Right?

That's what I tell myself

cuz you know

there's more than one.

I'm good. We good. 

Misunderstood

in my own head

telling myself lies

but begging for the truth instead

lies like

I'm good. We good. 

Don't project. Keep a smile. 

Give out compliments. Endure for a long while

Meanwhile, I'm about to explode

or implode, who really knows

Over analyzing. Then re-realizing

who and what aint shit

So clear, but still can't quit

is this even a poem

or am I just rambling

Oh yeah, I forgot

I'm good. We good. 

All 5

Can I just have a taste?
of that beautiful mind of yours
I wanna know
what it feels like
what it looks like
what it sounds like 
yes all 5
what it tastes like
what it smells like
all 5
in due time 
you'll know mine 
too
its deeper than 
the feeling of you 
inside the rivers of me
but trust me 
that's a goal too
little nasty
yes I must admit 
much experience isn't necessary
if you feel the flow
and just let go 
you'll know
you'll know


Everything Aint What it Seems

Red or blue

Silver or gold

same habits

starting to grow old

and tired 

and usual

this bullshit

is just so typical

racing and racing

then

pacing and pacing

My heart 

is out of control 

lost complete competence

when it comes to my soul

cant turn to you

because all you do is scold 

then bring up the old

my scars are so deep

they are almost unnoticeable

to me

until you start to pick

and pry

then out of frustration

I start to cry

then here you go

faking sympathy

or empathy

obliviously asking me

why?

I.D.K.

I could try

But what's the point?

I've tried before

Then was left alone

to gather pieces of me 

from the floor.

Return to sender

is what I think

but the words never successfully 

leave

my mouth the same way

they form in my brain.

One part of me says stay 

The other part's pleading

That you stay away.

Cuz it's never consistent.

Erratic behavior

that I don't notice 

until way later

when I have time to think

and ponder

and wonder

why?

In and out of my life

for what?

Am I a crutch

or just enough

when you need a gentle touch

for your mind and soul

yeah you grow

but me, I just don't know 

Good To Meet You.

Floating above it all.

I like to think

that's how I live my life

Surviving around it all

rather than

surviving through it

Sheltered?

A little, maybe

It's okay though

I'm not a young baby

yes by age

that's the truth

but look into these eyes

they know some things too

Sit down

and have a conversation

listen to my thoughts

and share yours too

break through this 

stupid wall I have

and make me wanna shake my ass

I'm not your average person

Nor am I that special

but I am a different

type of human being

Glad I met you.

Memories.

Pound for Pound.

Take a long walk on a short dock. 

Ima do like a Hindu, and do what I can do.

Just 3 of the many phrases you'd use

God I hope and pray

these memories never fade away

Then sometimes think,

"If only you could see me today,

see the world today,

see us all today."

How different things would be

getting to know you

and you getting to know me 

We are all ever-changing

and its a beautiful experience

can't believe your missing out on this

As an adult

As a woman

All I can do is reminisce

Nothing is ever perfect

but for what its worth

the memories and moments we did have

are definitely worth it

It's All For The Nut

Falling faster

deeper 

into

disaster,

catastrophe.

every moment

is beyond me 

even the energy

is too unique

it almost bothers me

tryna be all cute and shit

as if history

and trauma don't exist

What exactly is this

because at times

your at the top of the radar

for speaking complete bullshit

or is this your way of conveying

bliss and love

to get a touch

that's just enough

Oh I get it...

It's all for the nut

Contradictions Of The Heart

Fragile yet so strong

unseen but vital

to survival

What would you & I do

Without the heart

When in love

it beats so strong

but the ability

to break it in two

seems to easy too obtain

Makes it so much harder

to remain

calm through this all

The stress

Can send my heart beating

out of it's chest 

Or my chest

This so called protective shield

I'm the only one in the field

Battlefield

The ups and downs

The lovely and haunting sounds

Oh how fragile

yet so strong

Broken heart equals motivation

The heart is the source of life

And creation

Seasons Changing. Emotions Rearranging.

Seasons Changing

Emotions Rearranging

Sun is shining now 

Can't be stuck

wondering when

& how

seasons changing 

emotions rearranging

zero time left

to be focused on the next

need to rest

seasons changing

emotions rearranging

gotta get the mind

right

no energy left

for these pointless fights

seasons changing

emotions rearranging

selfish or more aware

as i mature 

my purpose

is becoming more clear

seasons changing

emotions rearranging

I Got You

Soft spoken

Just the way I like you

such a calm aura

wish everyone

could get me

the way you do

never do you gotta

chase me down

a promise I can make

is that I'll hold you down

so will you bless me

with the crown

Make me your queen

do me the honor my king

vow to you

you wont regret a thing

Not even here

pushing for a ring

just aiming

for everything

in our path

and then fly

so far past that

Comfort For Blinding

I'm so lost

Been feelin' so lost

Can I afford the cost 

that's required to find me?

Is there any help

or just comfort for blinding

Me from the truth

from me to you

We can find comfort

in pain and hurt too 

It's On Me

Love

What does that mean?

Another soul to use?

Another heart to abuse?

Losing one's self 

to one who cares for no one else?

Is it a compromise?

or the journey to one's demise

Golden plated satisfaction

in this game

we've thrown our emotions into

each level, feeling weaker than before

recurring damage to a wound never healed

Bleeds out dry blood onto the floor

reopening old scars

stuck in a toxic cycle

of give and take

from empty vessels

dying, trying to find escape

but no exit is near

walls up out of fear

Never brave enough

to speak up

It's my fuck up

I'm the reason

I feel so stuck

Take A Toke

Take a Toke

Try your best 

to not 

Choke

But if you do

Much better for you

Takes you to a different place

Where you begin to question you

I guess the cough isn't required

but after it's done 

feel so inspired

to be so intent

focused and mesmerized

by whatever is or isn't happening

in front of my eyes

Simpler text

it makes things more intense

the feel 

the real 

the story

and the tell

show me

the depths I don't usually see

that's what happens when I 

Take a Toke

and dive into the ocean

The raging sea that's me

Writers Block.

Blank

Can't find the words to say

Not caring if they're right or wrong

but just wishing I could move along

getting so stuck

can't identify in what

maybe it's just bad luck

stress and anxiety

only things driving me

Guess it's not the worst combination

on my good days

you wouldn't believe

my creativity and imagination

At times it comes so easy

that's when my handwriting 

isn't so neat

but when i ponder

on what should come next

I find myself stuck

rather than just giving it a rest

Satisfaction Together

Rain pourin' down my thighs

Calming effect

Of our moans and sighs

No more screamin'

kinda ruins the moment

but grab me the right way

in the right place

sure makes me go

insane

your presence

is stimulation enough

simply your touch

makes me go nuts

Don't think

just do

everything will flow 

the way its supposed to 

My body will guide you

on the things

I need from you

Im listenin'

so that way 

you get yours too

Teamwork

Makes the

Dreamwork

Right?

We can do this together

completely satisfied

the entire night

Lost In Us

Completely Free

to be 

who we are

when we're alone

No thought processes needed

Our bodies have complete control

every move is correct

every moment is perfect

every word makes sense

even the vibe is so intense

fully comfortable

No walls or guards up

stopping us

complete trust

whether its love or lust 

No judgements are even thought of 

cuz we're simply lost

in the midst of

Us 

This Is Your Life.

No matter what anyone has to say

Continue to move along with your day

Don't hold on so strong

To the words people decide to use

Put negative thoughts out of mind

Realize those things 

Are a pure waste of time

No need to put it on display

As some sort of warning

Of an unexpected change

If one's don't understand

Or aren't willing to even try

There's no need to explain

The strategy behind the way

You decide to play 

The hand you were dealt

Hollow is the Heart

Empty promises
Empty love
Empty trust
Hollow
Is the heart
From trying to create genuine art
But being filled
With nothing but empty
Empty promises
Empty love
Empty trust
Hollow is the heart 

Crushed. Diamond.

Crush my soul
Turned me into a diamond
Bet you didn't know what you was doin
You was for sure I would be ruined
That aint the case for me
Can't put your hands on God's property

Powerful.

What you hold
Is made up 
Of a substance unknown
When given the choice of which road
Always seeming sure
Of which way to go

Getting through life
The only way you know how
But deep down
Each moment 
Seems like a trial

Making the shit
Look so easy
Maybe thats why
Your persona
Is so intriguing

Unfamiliar
The strength thats shown
Admiring one whose so damaged
Yet so damn powerful

Love. Drugs.

Talk about love

Talk about drugs

One in the same 

Running the same game

Just got a different name

Still gotta make a choice

Easier road

Or the difficult

Choose

Pain

Or

Pleasure

YES.

terrified
of the truth you may hold
petrified
of the feelings in my soul
theres days
i wanna be next to you
then theres days
id be around anything
other than you
by choice 
ive chosen
to be this way
to say 
your the cause
would be a sad lie
for its my fault
we have to watch these lines
be careful 
not to cross
never wanna criss
make that x 
then your my ex
and 
our story ends
or does it begin
cause we should be friends
never more
could be less
id rather not talk about it 
gets me a little stressed
to be so honest
is something of you 
something of me too 
but who are we to blame
they say opposites attract
but i think i loved you  
since the first time 
we crossed tracks

Untitled.

How blinding can lust be

So comfortable 

But hating these feelings

Preach against the contradictory

Accepting your own truth

How can it be a mystery

Steady contemplating

What is and what's next

But forgetting the issue

Of disregarding

What's beating in my chest
