SCENT OF A BLACK ROSE

(A poetic excerpt of a new novel in the works…Scent Of A Black Rose)

They think I am nice
I am far from it
My past tells me that I’m a monster
But yet I mingle unnoticed with my peers
They have no clue of who I am
Don’t know where to find my pulse
Yet my heartbeat pounds the eardrums of the closest ones
Only they know me
Know who I am
Know what I am
Too late for apologies
I can only wish them a better life
Next time
But this time my conscience is on hiatus
Just pure reaction to their fear
I am not a killer
But a giver of new life
Rebirth
That’s what the black rose signifies
Follow the path of dark petals
Smell the rotten scent of doom
And the sweet scent of devotion
Follow the scent of a black rose

THIS IS MY POEM

My words are my own

Not his

Not hers

This is my poem

Whether you understand the flow

I’ll never know

You may say you like it

But is that for show?

Can you comprehend

The words that are coming outta my mind?

Is it hard to find?

Let’s not pretend

Your opinion doesn’t count

As I total the amount

Of people not understanding

Because my words will surmount

SAD PICTURE

What’s wrong with this picture?
No smiles
Many miles
Just dirt roads of sorrow

Nothing borrowed

Faces…sad and lonely
Staring at the ground
Searching but nothing found
Not hearing a sound

Turn the picture upside down

Now what do you see?
Same deal
Nothing real
Looking for mass appeal

Only to find an empty meal

Flip the picture around
Or over, rather
Nothing sadder
Than to have no swagger

Frame your picture cuz it doesn’t matter

FREE MY WORDS

Free these shackles from my literary expression
No need for periodic confession
Let me speak of my oppression
Free my words

Take these chains to pull your weight
Don’t use them to demonstrate
Your ignorance and inability to relate
Free my words

Don’t gag me to keep from hearing the truth
Your actions are becoming uncouth
Don’t believe me? Let me show you proof
Free my words

If I wanna shout to the world till I lose my voice
Whether it’s to curse the Devil or to sing God’s rejoice
It’s not up to you, but rather, my choice
Free my words

Let me speak about expressions of love
The busy streets below, the gathering clouds above
Don’t stop me from talking about the coo of the mourning dove
Free my words

I’ve got opinions that I’d like to tell on politics
On what’s in the environment that’s making us sick
Don’t you wanna hear how some religions tick?
Free my words

The family needs to be told about everything vital
Let these words echo at a poetry recital
Let me talk some sense to someone before they become suicidal
Free my words

~IMPROVISATION POEMS~

Mrs. Diva, meet Provocative D

You see

You ain’t got nothing on me

Not even King Kong or Magilla Gorilla

Open your tank and let me filla

Up with my flow

You already know

I got the gas that’ll make your car go

So slow your roll

Because I got this right here

Please, no cheers

I’m a modest type of dude

And if I keep this up

Then that’ll be so rude

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

How can I say this

Without taking a risk

tisk…tisk

I just can’t resist

Hey Miss…or should I say Mrs.

I hope you don’t miss this

Dis

Are you pissed?

Let me blow you a kiss

So you know I exist

In your mist

Can you see my flow consists

Of venom from a snake that hisses

And spits

mad vibes hit like a fist

You love it like bliss

So I must insist

Grant me my last wish

Tell me I’m the ish! 

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Can you imagine me without a flow

No vibe to call my own

No rhyme or reason to my poem

No I can’t see it

Because I’m too legit

I have to bring it

When people talk their ish

I get motivated

By the negativity

And if ya didn’t know me

Just wait to what you’ll see

Mind blowing

All knowing

Got your dimples showing

Teeth showing

That twinkle in your eye showing

Damn I’m good

It’s understood 

That my rhymes will always be flowing

LET ME TAKE YOU THERE

Let me take you on a journey through my intellect and random vibe. Sit back, relax, and allow me to enter a moment of your life you may want to remember or forget, cherish or curse. A moment in time where happiness saved your life, or sadness took it. The moment when a bad decision made your enemies your friends, or a good decision that tore your family apart. When you rejoiced the heavens, or worshipped hell… 

Let me take you to that place and time where you confessed to me, or avoided me. When I spoke upon deaf ears, or preached to the inquiring masses.  The moment when fear took a tight hold on you, or courage made you a hero…

Let me take you there… 

Let me take you back to a time before you knew time existed

Through the stages of life since infancy…in a blink of an eye you’d miss it

Let me show you when your father left, neglecting responsibility to be a man

Leaving your mother nothing but heartache, playing both rolls the best she can

Remember the time you stole money from the cashier, thinking that was so cool

Only to have your ass kicked by a bully who stole it from you

How about when you got pregnant at the age of thirteen, remember that and never forget

Nobody knew you had the baby, so you flushed it down the toilet like shit 

Let’s take you back when you downloaded kiddie porn, jerking off til you almost went blind

Fell for the bait by some undercover cop and got locked up when they featured your ass on “Dateline”

The moment you shot yourself full of drugs, that very moment your life changed

Was it for the good, or for the bad…we can agree it made you a little deranged

There were good times you had, I would be remissed to forget to take you there

Like the time you proposed to your wife on your knees at your indy film’s world premiere

You’ll never forget the moment when everyone haled you the victor of a hot political race

And how you turned your fortunes around to be in everybody’s good grace

Let me take you to the congregation you spoke to, spreading His Blessings to the faithful

While keeping the devil at bay, with all his schemes and reasonings to be disgraceful

I’ll take you back to the moment at hand where you gave life to someone in dire need

A precious kidney you parted with when you heard the sufferer’s plead

Let me take you there…

My journey flows with your journey. I will never leave. I only expand your world in order for you to make your choices. Good or Bad. Right or Wrong. I will stay when you decide to drown me with alcohol, impair me with drugs. I will never depart when you fill me with confidence, and the grace of God. Ignore me if you will, be you will come back to me to remember…

Remember me…

For I am Learned…

For I am Knowledge

ON THE EDGE

Edge of life

Edge of reason

Stepping closer to get a better look

Nothing but strife

Nothing pleasing

Teetering on the edge of the things took

For granted

Dedication never planted

Thoughts and dreams

Never demanded

Life is precious

Why can’t you understand it

Another step

Another aspect

You’re edging closer to the end

You can’t accept

Your part…how tragic

Waving off the prayers I send

Message deleted

Logic depleted

Your reason for living

Is self-defeated

Why can’t you believe in prayers

You need it

Take my hand

Hold it tight

Never forget who loves you

Understand 

That you just might

Feel the same love we do

Take two steps ahead

Hopefully message read

Tackle your demons

And believe what Jesus said 

MY MY MY

My my my
Is all I can say
You in that longerie
Got me dreaming all day
All night
That ain’t right
Girl you keep your Game so tight
Teasing me like that
I think I just might
Bite
Them applebottoms
Hell yeah you got ‘em
Pop ‘em
Make it clap as you drop ‘em
Then stop ‘em
So I can see ‘em jiggle
Just a little

My my my
Is all I can say
Now walk this way
Like Run-DMC
And Jay
Use to say
And just give me a kiss
My wish
Something I miss
Your soft lips
On my lips
Hard to resist
I see in your eyes
You want a surprise
Spontaneity
The way it use to be
Nothing compromised

My my my
Is all I can say
Just us two lovers
All positions
On top and under the covers
Forget about the others
They can’t do you
Like I do you
So if it’s cool with you
Let me sing to you
A Johnnie Gill croon
Hold tight
You just might
Swoon
From my tune
When I sing to you
My my my

YOU ME SHE

This evening it’s gonna be on

You

Me

She

Keeping it freaky for an erotic night for three

My fantasy

Your curiosity

Her creativity

Don’t be shy

Let your thoughts run free

This is my time to get smug

Rose peddles sprinkled on a hot pink rug

Laid out on the floor

Easier to explore

Your body

Her body

Loving you

Loving me

A Valentine’s gift for you

Me

She

 

Let my tongue speak without talking

As it be stalking

Your sweet crevice

As you let this

Freak with those hips

Get a taste of your lips

Your tongue

Her tongue

Playing with tongue rings

Just for fun

Taste her passion juice

As I get you loose

Make that sound

As we go down

On you

Me

She

 

Come play with this toy

Built for two

For her and for you

Let me just watch

As you both play

Erotic display

Visual tease

Can I get some please

Just bend your back

As I give you a slap

Entering your love zone with ease

Watch her as she explores me

Adores me

Getting down on her knees

As she tastes you and me

So you see

This passionate bliss

Erotic twist

My gift

For you

Me

She

I FEEL

YOU ENHANCE ME

I hold your hand as I look to the sky

A smile comes across my face

Knowing there’s the same look in your eyes

As we take comfort in each other’s embrace

The stars shine brighter as they dance in the night

The moon’s passionate glow pulling us

To another world where all seems right

To make sweet love and exploit our lust

The grass is greener

The perfume is sweeter

The air is cleaner

My love for you is deeper

Deeper than my imagination can take me

Baby you enhance me

Advance me

There’s no other way to entrance me

But with your love for which I adore

Let me explore

The depth of your love for me

You see

I am hypnotized by the vastness of your beauty

I hold your hand as we walk across the sand

A smile comes over my face

Knowing that you understand

The meaning of this place

The seagulls are more joyous as they take flight

As they hover over the sea

They are witness to this incredible night

The way your love has enhanced me.

PAINFUL PLEASURE

THE LABYRINTH

Your words have the structure of a labyrinth
A continuous intertwining of conjecture
The path to you is forever closing
But the clues to break down these walls
Are in your beautifully written words
As much as the labyrinth tries to deter me
Your words are a beacon
That will lead me to your heart
The light is getting brighter and brighter
I feel the heat of your passion
The twists and turns are starting to unfold
I’m almost there……
Even though the labyrinth remains a challenge
I have broken through to the core of it
Not only do I see and feel
But now I hear the beautiful words you illuminate
The sounds fill me with hope
The hope of bringing the feelings
The vision of beauty
And the harmonious sounds together as one
It is not too hard to orchestrate
Just pull the right chords
Sing the right songs
And dream the right dream
And I will be in your heart forever……..
The peeks and valleys are steep
As I struggle to reach your heart
I will persevere
I am determined
I have reached you before
Directed by your beautifully written words
Though puzzling as it may be
I am mastering the game
Becoming an expert at deceiving deception
The labyrinth will soon succumb to my whims
And the path will become a field of inner beauty
The aura taking me on it’s own path
The words
The passion
And the echoes of your heart being my guide…

THE SCENT OF YOU

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your essence

Your preference

Your effervescence

Everything agreeable

New additions

New convictions

New predictions

The scent of you

Opening new senses

Less the pretenses

Got me jumping fences

An erotic sensation

Arousing my thoughts

Your smell I have caught

More senses to be sought

The scent of you

Confirming interests

Confirming happiness

Confirming blissfulness

Connectivity expanding

Familiarity expanding

Great minds expanding

Curiosity expanding

The scent of you

Wanting more of you

To see you

To touch you

Completing me

Completing you

I’ll forever treasure

The scent of you
