Sugary Sweet
I would be remiss
If I should ever forget
The taste of your lips
From the sweetest kiss
Allow me to reminisce
Of the time of our beginning; a dreamlike bliss
I recall
A striking figure, beautiful and tall
With a shape that could make a man reckless
You left me breathless
I lost myself in your eyes
In your presence, time simply flies
Like a thunderbolt that struck my soul
It was as if I had sat down with a friend of old
This feeling, this magic, this connection
I felt compelled to express my affection
The warmth swelling in my chest, I had to express it
Words flowed freely between us
I wanted to know you, that was a must
And I couldn’t deny my growing lust
For the woman who came into my life like a gust
You had a silver tongue to match that sharp wit
A personality that overflowed with a zest for life and true grit
Our banter came all too easy, I must admit
You and I, we seemed to fit
Then it all blends together in a magnificent haze
A whirlwind of halcyon days
Fun dates and hotel stays
Your skin, your body, your lips that I craved
Your mind I yearned to entertain
Tracing along your essence like an oceanic maze
I lost myself in your waves
The ringing of your voice in the night, song of a nightingale
A siren’s voice could not compare
Even words from Heaven would pale
Now it’s no longer the same
No more chasing, no more flirty fun games
Still my memory remains
In my mind you are unchanged
A woman crafted with the sweetest ingredient
As if shaped by Michelangelo's hands, to me you were radiant
I will forever remember the passion born from this heat
A romance with a woman, so sugary sweet

Eternal Rose
A moment frozen in time
Put those emotions on ice
Feels nice
The color stays
The memory never fades
Your beauty represented in the petals
You hold a part of my heart in your hand
Forever and ever
Remember me
Or do you wish to forget me?
I suppose I will never know
The image reflected in your eyes
When you see it, do you cry?
I swear it wasn't a lie
Doesn't matter now
Goodbye

Never Justice
There is never justice
Never peace or love for us
It's just us vs the powers of this country
An oppressed people that will never be free
Nowhere to go nowhere to flee
Generations of oppression are the chains around you and me
They constantly tighten the noose
Never any slack, it never gets loose
Hopelessness closes in
Still slaves after slavery's end
Tears flow and never stop
In the great white shadow where black bodies rot

Guardian Angel
That I would meet
A soul so sweet
Serendipitous fate
That the universe dictates
I see a wondrous person with scars and burns
I see a radiant soul with alot of hurt
You showed me a small piece of what you endure
For your heart ache I wish I had the cure
The bond we share, I will never spurn
Always there for me, that you were
A thousand thank yous is not enough
To repay your support and trust
My gratitude is as boundless as the cosmos
Relay to me all your worries, fears and sorrows
I will never turn you away
For as long as I live, until my dying day
Connected at the heart
Never far apart
Your kindness forms your wings
Draped around me, a protective ring
Heaven must have sent me it’s very best
A guardian angel in the flesh

Naked
Fragile is written on my heart's label
Be gentle because it's unstable
Battered and bruised
I been hurt, I been used
Everything to gain and nothing to lose
All that I am or nothing at all, which do you choose?
I keep searching for a love unlike any other
An unbroken eternal bond that cannot be torn asunder
Hopeless romantic and bleeding heart, what a blunder
Transparent soul, you will not find another
Could you witness my soul's nudity and still love me, I wonder
Sift through my whole, can't you see?
I offer you this wounded heart, I offer all of me

Athena
Fate would have me chance upon a goddess
A blessed sight to my eyes
Willful and strong
Fierce and true
Daughter of Zeus
Upon your alter
Do mortal men pay tribute
That they could catch, but a glimpse of you
I know why all too well
Why they give it all to gaze on your godliness
A smile that illuminates
Eyes that shine like moonlight
A body sculpted by the cosmic divine
A mind born only when the stars align
A beauty that alights passion and sets the soul free
You can bring any man to his knees
Still, it’s not all of what I seek
What I search for, riches will not let me reach
Of what grand treasure do I speak?
I speak it into existence, know that I am not meek
I desire that divine spark
The ever-lasting bond
Two souls linked for all eternity into the great beyond
I beseech you as I approach your alter
Hand steady that I do not falter
I give you my only and most valued possession
I reach into my chest and offer you my red beating essence
What I seek, my goddess
Is that connection
Eternal loyalty and affection
Because I offer the same, my romantic confession
The hole where my heart was cannot kill me
By your grace, you heal me, you fill me
By your presence I am given hope
I see your pain and sacrifice
I see your hurt and hunger
But I also see your true beauty
Your shining light
I would take your hand if given the chance
Two lives interwoven in a dance
What do you hope for, is it happiness
Someone to share everything with
Love’s true bliss
Reveal it to me
All of your beautiful strengths and weaknesses
I beseech you, show me the heart of a goddess

Hollow
Could you love a man with this?
So empty and listless
Ambition sucked away; who is this?
A vagabond, a mere misfit
Sap my life away, it's cancerous
Crush my dreams, so much sadness
I stand at the edge of serenity and madness
Sword of heart, clarity of mind is my happiness
Vision to cut through the fogginess, I'm losing it
Final reward for my efforts, by karma I'm ravaged
This anger and emptiness, I can't get past it
So I ask you broken and witless
Could you love a man with this sickness?

Idolatry
One by one
They come crumbling down
The flawless monuments
We all worshiped
So many children
And innocents have been sacrificed
To false gods
We placed on pedestals
Mere mortals
Infected with hubris
Pathetic people
Shackled by desire and cowardice
Corrupted by the trust and power we gave
Victims empowered by their shared pain
We see the weaknesses behind hero’s persona’s
As the masks fall away
Pillars that supported our village
They secretly groomed and raped
Knock them down
Break the predatory chains
Start over
Begin a new
A new dawn for me and you
As we look behind us
At the fading horizon
The sun sets
On an old age
No light left
For our idol worshiping ways

Only a Dream
It was a faraway dream
Pure and untouched
The innocence of our youth
The purity of our hopes
The beauty of our competition
The bond of our kinship
A dream we shared
Through memories
And laughs
Tears and joy
Years passed
And the sanctity of the dream remained
Time moves forward still
And slowly..... reality sets in
The dark truths are revealed
The cracks in the image begin to form
The light fades
The beauty gives way
It was never as pristine as we wanted to hope
Even though it felt so real
How sad
How pitiful
For it truly was
Only a dream

Blazing
With every word you write
I am reminded of the dimensional gap between us
Yours is the realm of Asgard and Olympus
Of gods, myths and magic
Yours is the gift of the immortals
One of the chosen
Like blessed rain from Freya does your gospel fall onto the page
Your thoughts penetrate
They take shape
Galaxies are made
Reality gives way
As your glorious voice shatters space
Time means nothing to you
My mind is taken to a higher state
How many facets to the glittering diamond of your existence?
How many twists, turns, and corridors within your soul?
A blazing sun against the backdrop of my universe
Eons pass and the light fizzles and fades from the stars
But you endure
My being baptized by the rays of the goddess
Your shining light burning through my very core
And what of me?
I am of THIS world
This dirty world
One of my own design
A world full of doubt and sadness
Pain and madness
I cannot grab hold of my heart
I cannot grasp it
But standing in the wake of your footsteps
I feel as though
I can get back the pieces
That I lost long ago
Gift of the goddess
You don't see me
You cannot possibly see me
You are the guiding light to so many
But I walk quietly behind you
Always and I do not speak of these things
For I fear I would lose the light of your soul
Which illuminates this path before me
I fear you would turn your head, and you would not be
Who I need you to be
For me
Forgive me
In your wake, I can see what was once hidden
I can cut away the falsehoods and weaknesses
Of my mental prison
Perhaps one day we can meet
In that higher plane that you call home
But not yet
I wish to keep observing
The path you tread
Keep being you
So I can keep
Burning away
The previous me
And always be reborn through your bravery and grace
The gift of the phoenix
Through her I am always born again

Chase
I’m in love with it
Drown in it
Crown me with it
Call me a lion, a hunter, a king
Her laugh, that heavenly ring
Hear a no, ok on to the next thing
Her, her, her and her too
My ego is the glue
Pride pushes me to pursue
The high of a text, a call, a smile, a touch
We in the bed, I crush
This euphoria is never enough
These feelings give me that rush
Swipe, Swipe, swipe
I could do this all night
No response, that’s alright
Always another beauty in my sights
I get addicted
As I might have predicted
It’s a sickness
I won’t lie, I want this
Sorrowful fate
Empty date after date
They just won’t sate
The hunger for the chase

Black Trees
The great American past time
Tradition made on sacrificing black lives
No more racism, so says the right
Wraiths of the past snatches up innocents at night
Police claim suicide
Attempt to silence indignant cries
We see through the lies
Our ancestors gave their lives
That we might not lose our pride
In the wake of marches
Humans erased by darkness
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Choking on the rope of American excellence
For demanding equality blacks must repent
Black death for national prosperity, that’s the rent
Land of liberty and dreams, at blacks expense
Centuries pass and what’s changed
The violence and hatred is all the same
Our anguish, our tears and our pain
Innocents suspended on branches is America’s shame
How much more suffering does this nation need?
Time passes, but we are still not free
Blacks have long since paid the fee
Still our path remains blocked as far as the eye can see
Freedom’s light blotted out by a canopy of black trees

War Goddess
Once again I face the reality
That you exist in a place higher than me
As you walk, the earth quakes
You leave giant craters in your wake
I pity your enemies, for unto them you devastate
I am content for now, in my quiet observation
Your fury is your beauty, my heart's elation
I will keep watching you in silence
As you war against the tyrants
Goddess of war, bless me with your fire
Heat of your soul ignites my desire
It is the power of your passion that I admire

Our Rage
Fists in the air
Altogether to take on the system that’s never fair
The machine doesn’t care
Feeds on you, Feeds on me
Feeds on we
Two parties, same agenda
In the pockets of the big money spenders
Wall Street runs these streets
Corruption runs deep
Goes back centuries
Devours the citizenry, it deserves no sympathy
Demand peaceful protest and complacency
But real change only happens when we riot in the streets
That’s the same hypnosis
Convince you to give up your own powers, no we own this
No accountability for corruption leads to facism, the old prognosis
A power built on systemic racism
Got our white kin not realizing the underlying classism
Our oppression is in the same vein
The lower class is suffering the same pain
While the ignorant shout All Lives Matter
Our education and health care are left in tatters
That’s the trick to distract your focus
While these politicians do a hocus pocus
Offer thoughts and prayers while our kids die in classrooms
Never do anything to address the countries problems, why I ask you?
Because that’s the game
Centuries pass and it’s the same
Each party just finger points and blames the other
While we die in the streets crying for our mother’s
It’s up to us to be the change
We gotta come together and end their reign
We fight as one and break the chain
Rally as one beast that can’t be tamed
THE TIME HAS COME TO COMBINE OUR RAGE!

Birds
I see many broken birds as I walk my road
Busted wings and shattered dreams
They scream in painIt hurts, it hurts
And their cries speak to me
I know, I know
I pick them up and mend them the best I can
Not a doctor
Just a friend
Just a man
They always leave
Just a little better off than when we met
And I'm always sad when it happens
But I keep going on my way
Perhaps you say I care too much
Yes, I understand
But I cannot deny that part of me
That soft compassionate heart of me
Sometimes the birds tell me they prayed for my arrival
The thought makes me smile
I wonder how many more birds I will meet on the way
How many hearts I will touch before the sun sets
On my final day

Blood Kin
I can offer you no panacea for the pain
No cure all for the hurt
As I see the throbbing wounds
On your pulsating heart
I can hear the soft thuds
And the splattering of your blood
On the floor of your consciousness
I am here right next to you
Take all the time you need
Let me watch over you
As time heals all wounds
Your pain is all your own
But as long as I breath
You are never alone

Good cops get devoured by evil
Nah dude, some police are genuinely trying to make the world a better place. They go through a lot of shit so that they can try and help people. I hate most of the shit police do. I don't like being told what to do either. But people are fucking killing cops. That's people killin people and it's fucked. You're the death of your own cause if you condone violence and murder ya dumb fuck. Black lives matter, let's protect them by not murdering good people and giving nazis any sort of argument.
Gonna break down this response as clearly as possible.
The origins of the police are evil.
It has been shown repeatedly that the police were formed to oppress the working class and (1, 2) and enforce white supremacy (1, 2, 3). In fact, the early U.S. police grew directly out of slavery.
The police aren’t the people you think they are.
The police don’t care about you – they don’t even have a constitutional duty to protect you. They’re allowed to take your property without your consent (the NYPD seizes so much property they can’t even log it in their computers). In fact, cops are more likely to steal your property than burglars are. They commit hundreds of crimes and human rights violations against people like you & me and get away with it because they cover for each other.
Cops tend to be unusually aggressive, authoritarian, and secretive (Greene & Heilbrun, 2011). They are more than twice as likely to commit domestic violence than the rest of the population, and (once again) they cover for each other when doing so. The police are on the side of neo-Nazis (1, 2). In fact, many times the police themselves are the neo-Nazis/klansmen (1, 2, 3). And even besides all this, cops do all kinds of other shady shit – for instance, undercover police are used to instigate fights during protests and rallies.
The police terrorize those of us who are marginalized.
The police disproportionately arrest Black people for drugs even though white people use drugs more often. They disproportionately pull Black people over for traffic stops. The police terrorize people with disabilities.They are viciously anti-indigenous – and always have been. Police terrorize sex workers. There are countless examples of police brutalizing homeless people (1, 2, 3). The police have a lengthy history of brutality against the LGBT community (1, 2). They terrorize women of color and get away with it (1, 2, 3). They kill massive numbers of people each year – and a disproportionate number of their victims are Black and native. On top of that, recent data suggests cops may kill up to twice as many people as we even thought they did. And while police love to defend themselves by saying they have the most dangerous job, that’s not even close to being true.
The police’s best kept secret: We don’t need them!
A world without the police is completely possible (1, 2, 3, 4). We have resources for resolving violence as communities without the need for state intervention (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 – as some examples). We as communities are better capable of resolving violence than the police are, because we don’t have the vested interest in the status quo that they have. Even if a few cops are well-intentioned here or there, it doesn’t change that the role of the police is to work against the vast majority of us in the interests of the (white) elite few.
Why are you so invested in the police when they are complicit in your dehumanization?
