I write for myself
And my loved ones
Sometimes
Even the people I loved once
Because a famous guy once said
Better to love and lose
Than to never love once
I loved once
Lost twice
They weren’t pros
So I don’t see cons
We couldn’t get along
Because of the tips that they be on
Told me it was too hard
Sometimes they had to ease on
So let me stop
Before I get too deep
Get my sleaze on
Keep your sleeves on
Because if I imprint
It’s a leave on
And because I said it like that
You wouldn’t believe that
I loved once
But if I tell you about her
And the way she looked in light lace
Just out of the shower
Smile on her bright face
The way she rushed to my arms
To cover the wide space
You’d realise that I’m not loveless… Continue reading

I write for myself
And my loved ones
Sometimes
Even the people I loved once
Even when it’s a thank you
To the people who showed love
Even if it was just once
Because all it takes
Is just once
Especially if you do it
For one of my loved ones
Even if it was just once
Thank you
Because when there were dark clouds
You made a brighter day
Gave me a reason
To smile and say
May
Be
The future’s not so far away
Lifted the burden
Or made it light as hay
I’m grateful
Is what I’m trying to say
For the love you showed
I won’t forget it
Even if t was just once
As far as I’m concerned
You’re one of the just ones
And you’ve made the world a better place
Because the love that you showed
If I’m not able to return it… Continue reading

I write for myself
And my loved ones
Sometimes
For the people I loved once
Because a famous guy once said
Better to love and lost
Than to never love once
But this is for the people I loved since
I met them
And the respect hasn’t moved a half inch
Even if it’s recent
And they weigh seven pounds and one ounce
I’ll describe them with pronouns
Because they have names
Some anyways
That you might not be able to pronounce
So he’s my son
She’s my daughter
Until I get mine
Even after
I’ll make time
To fill their lives with laughter
Make sure they never hate rhymes
Make sure it’s not only because we’re relatives
That we relate minds
You know it’s all relative
Maybe not as constant as the speed of light
It takes time
And in the same frame
I’ll picture their parents
I hope … Continue reading

This book is almost full
Of shit
Bull
Pits
I’ve fallen in
I talked about throughout and in
Like times when you’ve probably thought
You’ve got the better of me
When I couldn’t write
A letter B
Contemplating what was better to be
Hero or villain
Chased by those dogs again
I bet you I won’t fall again
I feel so tall again
Family I can call a friend
Won’t let me stall again
Not like before when they were all pretend
Leave me standing
Or you might find an end
So I’m going to talk my shit again
The government’s on your side
Bullshit
They won’t hate me for my pride
Bullshit
If I wasn’t in finer things
Couldn’t buy you diamond rings
You’d still let me take you for a ride
Bullshit
If the ocean comes again
Drowns me once again
Your arms will open wide
Bullshit
In … Continue reading

What you think I am
I isn’t
What you think I did
I didn’t
But it still wouldn’t be
In your best interest
To mistake me for a kitten
But you know what they say
After you learn the hard way
You get yours
Without getting smitten
Something about twice shy
Once bitten
Or more accurately
Once shy
Twice bitten
Besides
There are things more important in life
Than a figure
Wagging their finger
Shaking their head
Saying
Oh no
You didn’t
Things like
Making sure to avoid prison
By staying focused
On that cheese
Cake
Bread
Pudden (pudding)
My elegant way of saying
Money over bitch-
En
Way to end it
By repeating what I started out saying
What you think I is
I isn’t
What you think I did
I didn’t
But you can still bring that kitty over here
Let me make it purr like a kitten… Continue reading
