unfiltered poetry medley

My piece is near me
I fear this won’t last long
Cops arrest me
What did I do wrong?

-
God is the equation for all variables.
-

I grew up in the hood
Where a rat’s life
Is closer to paradise
[‘cause ain’t nobody gonna visit
My domicile
So I got to reconcile]

I may start off slow
But I won’t pass
The finish line like that.
And I will pass the
Finish line, in record
Time! I alone,
On this track.

No peer on earth can seduce her
Her stare is like medusa
She wakes up early like the roosts
To say “day, rise up beneath me”
Feet glossy, eyes rainy and pearl shaped
---

When loren gets even mightier
Than the pen is
Rhinos tear through the flesh
In the stampede

The fear has left
Only a mark
Only a mark
Only a mark (that I’m free)

[and we look to the sky
I don’t know why
We look to the sky]

So when the eyes they bleed
And the fears are done
Tears to me are mere epiphanies


“The peace that died”
She died right in front of my eyes
Oh I cried
I cried I cried

And she died right in front of mine eyes
I cried
I cried
