If I Must
If I must fall in love
then I would
pick you
You’re very beautiful
might I say
Could even make
an interesting two
So what if we lie
No ones perfect
not even I
Hmmmm
an interesting couple
until the day we die
A man must I love
well I’ll
settle for you
Not perfect
not handsome
ridiculously untrue
But if I must
fall in love
I’d rather pick you
A man must I love?
Then it’s you
It’s you
Someone’s Telling Me
Someones telling me
to slow down
but it is my fix
I need
Nothing will stop me
when I need it
Nothing can keep
him from me
I know it is wrong
to feel this way
but it is this fix
this desire that has me
returning each day
got me laying on my back
hopping in and out his sack
keeps me forgetting
what it is I should do
got me chasing
afterwards
feeling blue
yeah
someones saying
slow it down to me
but it is my fix
my man I need
I Live Within The Pages
I live within the pages
Naked I hide behind
The words
As your eyes scan sentences
I leap spaces
To hide behind black text
Going to sleep
only when the book is closed
Awaking when
it is reopened again
I once lived as you
Able to flip through the pages
But all that no longer matters
I am trapped now
Finding myself
Repeating the same episode
once the book
is reopened
Go To A Place
Go to a place within your mind
Where only I can exist
Feel my presence
see my essence
desire yourself
between my hips
I want you
which is why
I appear here
each night
you want me
desire so strong
drawn in
you can’t help
but to
each night
Screams Of A Bullet
Has a bullet
Ever screamed you name?
Through a crowd of onlookers
passed a few
turning in other faces
until it glimpsed you
you
all others meant nothing
for you
are the one
it wanted
stalked, ran down
even haunted
stopping at nothing
to catch your eye
traveling at light speed
to see you die
you
who literally caused it
to pass others for your death
so that it may be the cause
for your inhaled last breath
have you?
heard this sound
which of I speak
that to see your splattered blood
for you it seeks
that sound has it
ask yourself
been there in your nightmares
while something you feel is watching
unaware somewhere
a bullet… stares
