Thug angel


She is too opinionated
Too much of an independent
She is a man for all I care
Stuffed into a female body as a guise

If a jagged glass could pierce the shield
 You'll find a broken girl...yes indeed
No harm done to the body
but to the spirit...A welt too large to soothe easily

To be this keeper's keeper
wills great sacrifice, not a quest in subduing
Cos to conquer such a one
takes only but a virtue; PATIENCE

Her unscaled walls will fall without a march round it
Her grit will melt like a burnt sacrifice
Her hard exterior will part readily without a command
Taking with it the welt now but a memory

Facade

At first glance...the eyes stray
With a second look...the lips say
The words the eyes tried to convey
Thoughts like...you are beautiful
Pondering such as...my eyes could feast on you
Mulling as insane as...you are my dream come true
If all this were true
Then the inner being would be retarded
Left to waste, no silver linning in sight;not even a resurrection
To compete with this façade
Would be to conjure a dead man to life
To will a house from stone
An illusion to real
To be deemed surreal

Where art thou?


That tiny part of my heart under seal
Waiting for the right finger to peel
And be set free pleads for release
If I ever find you, many questions I’d ask
The first being “What took you so long?”
To be free without a scar, having being under lock for so long
My heart ponders on how I’d know
Will there be a mark visible to me alone
Pray tell where such a one is
My lonely heart searches for you
With binoculars to scan every nook
With microscopes to zoom into every heart
Desiring to find my name inscribed
A telling sign that you are mine
Except I’m weary of the search
Now settling into the sphere of despair
Masquerading till you come rescue me.
Pray do not tarry
Else I’d wilt from the anguish
Else my heart will languish

RED




I see red
In the eye of the oppressed
In the heart of a wounded
In the frailty of an abandoned child
In the rawness of a bruised hide
In the cheap condemnation of an innocent
Woe to them who keep themselves
Whose dignity has been kept on shelves
May they never go rusty having no oil to lubricate
Cast in stones for the pride of self, inspiring self hate
Who knows not any style nor ways to please?

I see red
On the white sheets
On the heart that smiles as it takes the step
On lips that captures the serenity
On the tongue that bites the layers off
Hail to them who held it all
Bestowing on thee who is willing to watch them crawl
Even though the world has deemed them dumb
You have become more than a chum.

The Gang


Speeches inspired by crunchy clean bills
Warnings cease about dem nasty pills
Welcome! Welcome to the club of the elite
Words that render the unattached green
Plain to see as the symbolic white
That publicizes the bride
A wet behind the ear member
Of the most sought-after-gang.
