Late Night Memoirs pt.1
I hate admitting when i'm wrong, id rather soak in silence, i hate Being meek i lean more toward violence, i love slow music but the soundtrack of my life has been drowned out by sirens. My motivation is positive driven by negativity, stone face killer but my emotion is my sensitivity. You can see the anger in my eyes i fight lividly, but when the victory is gained i maintained my dignity and humility. In search of something deep because the shallow isn't fulfilling me.

Passions Prisoner (Collaboration)
I can't help but to be prisoner to your passion
Bound by the emotions running through my body
Losing track of time and acting irrationally
Restrained by the fears of what was and what is
So I approach lightly not knowing the challenges
Trying to find a balance of too little and too much
I know I should slow down but too addicted to touch
Constantly yearning to taste your lips
Lost in passion kissing on your thighs with my hands on your hips
Toes curling, back arching, desire flowing
Where this will all lead to I am not knowing
But hoping that the unkwown is never
Wanting no end to come of this pleasure
So just keep me as your passions prisoner....

The Vent
You, the ones you stick your neck out for, when the tables are turned won’t even open
the front door, as my anger begins to swell you can tell I haven’t been able to deal
with this all that well. Karma is a bitch to some but she is a knight in shining armor to me , standing hear
waiting patiently for her arrival. I share a office and sit right across from my rival, not
knowing the plans i have in my head to end his survival. I try my hardest to remember
the principles i have read in the bible, but it’s my own fault I have become this homicidal
this bottle of liquor has become my pacifier, but if I said it didn’t make the situation worse
i would be a liar. my surroundings are slowly decaying me, the women of my dreams
seems to be getting less and less of my time i just keep reassuring her our life is like
wine it'll just get better with time. It’s cold in my mind with heat on outside
life and death is where I collide, with my own personality i try to coincide two fingers
to my head I salute suicide... the weight off my chest i try to blend in with the rest
but i am different, I am the real and they represent the fake, in my situation there is just
so much more at stake.

The Curse
left in the past with time. The gift and the curse, memories
equipped with vivid pictures alongside words I could
quote like scriptures. When tempers rose you floated away,
where was I when you needed me? Probably somewhere
stuck in some twisted fantasy, fancy that I put you threw
hell when I was in search of heaven. Father forgive
me because I’m lost in space, my eyes closed in search
of your face. I don’t know how long I can keep this pace
war in my mind with a piece in my hand. The gift and the curse vivid
pictures bombard my mind, things I should’ve forgot with time.

Gaining Oneself
And gained love in life
Found a purposeful passion
Through kids and wife
Stumbled upon joy
In the midst of turmoil
Struggled with nightmares
Only to make true my dreams
Searched for a reason to smile
All while swimming in a pool of tears
Broke free of chains
Created by fears
Progressed from just fine
To walking sunshine
Walked through hell
With only success on my mind
And no room to fail
To reach the gates of heaven
And a touching story to tell....

Scars
a glove. The moment when you're supposed to let go and im
supposed to hold on, you go on bringing up old wounds
things buried in my mind, but seem to resonate in yours.
My heart turned cold two summers ago, and yet Ive keep
you warm. What kind of man am I? don't give me love mixed
with hate and not expect the same fate. All men make mistakes
so should we all be burned at the stake??? The snakes slither
in the grass hissing venom in your ear. But when you use the
spot light they freeze in place like deer. Ive given up my life and my dreams
willingly, but I have to come home to you grilling me. Go, Walk away
leave me you don't have to please, I just want to walk the road of life
with ease. How can you ask the question why don't you stay if every
moment your pushing me away? The scars of yesterday cant heal over
night, so don't push me away for trying to make it right.

"one is the magic number"
I apologize, y'all know what I really mean;
It's just that my minds fucked up right now ,
Everywhere and nowhere at once;
You live and you learn,
But if you don't take notes you're a dunce;
So go ahead wear the cap nigga,
Go ahead gimme that NECK, and a slap on the back of ya cap nigga;
It's like it's all a dream,
Prophetic of course, cuz when I wake;
All the screaming and fighting, laughing and crying,
Breaking and dying...
Slowly...
Is the state.
Who is there to talk to?
There's just me

Touche
mind so stuck in the sublime she misses the bus of life man at home
thinking of wedding bells, while she in the streets selling booty tales. Where
along the road did you fall off? Late night corner walker tendencies
mixed with the things you telling me, so quick to hop in the sack. No delay, "do I look fat?
no lady but i think you live in the wrong habitat because you a animal, I Would
call you a pussy cat but you have dog tendencies with those puppy eyes you
giving me now you calling me harsh and insensitive but when I was thinking commitment
you aint have a shit to give. I think imma act like jay-z and just let you live. Party girl
by day when the sun set she back to her good girl act, undercover lover but we all
know what she do below. if only she knew what real love do, thinking him begging
for ass is a sign he love you . She needs to get on her knees and pray to the one
that’s above, because confusion He lacks , the same mind state He could put you
in that, it’s a cold world out there baby, you can’t change the thermostat.

Atlas
I have been blessed
With the strength of two of you
But unfortunately I have strayed
Too close to the sun
Out of time, I am out of time
Only a few grains remain in my hour glass
And living in this very moment
I will bask in it like it is my very last
These moments are for family
These moments are for friends
My world has rested on your shoulders
You have been there for me
Even as I reach my end....

Giants
can make it go away. David had Goliath but I can’t slay my giants,
knowing I should walk away instead I choose to stay. I know God
said be slow to anger but the further I am from that, the closer I am to danger
no stranger I am to this concept. I try too hard to mold you, like a deck of
cards seems too easy to just fold you and start from scratch. I attach emotions
from the past and hang it from you never even giving a chance. As this wrath
has its dance but maybe I could romance with the thought of peace, peace of mind
peace of heart, married to this anger till death do us part?

My Brothers Keeper
Am I my brothers keeper?
Yes I am
I'll protect my own
I'll kill my fellow man for my brother
His family is my own
If he has not
Then mine shall become his home
Am I my brothers keeper?
Yes I am
If he passes before his son grows
Then I will teach him to become a man
If he leaves this earth before his daughter grows
Then I will tell her that everyday she is a queen
Am I my brothers keeper
Yes I am....

Beautiful Mystery

My Apologies
I still love you even though sometimes it doesn't seem like I do. I can't even explain how I feel when I cross over the threshold of our home and I see your beautiful face with all its grace asking questions about my day and helping me relax from a long day. I been a little detached lately with all the things I've let bombard my mind even when I'm with you. I can't apologize enough because I can't even imagine the emotional distress I've put you through.
For it to take a turn like this was very unexpected. To tell you that I did it all for you would be the farthest thing from the truth. I know I still need you beside me but my ego tends to override my better judgment and tells me there is no one else in this world that lives with my troubles but me. I still love and cherish you and when I'm far from home I reminisce about the day I proposed to you. My apologies for the turmoil I've put you through and I pray that once again I get lost in your eyes and end up where I belong which is right next to you.

Memory Lane
came to my mind, my homie from day one always pushing
me to do something better. Coming from our neighborhood
Where dudes just focus on making the chedder, mula, green or whatever you
wanna call it. On the weekend we played like alcoholics to forget
the pain of friends past vivid pictures of murders bodies chopped
up in cars, or dumped in garbage cans, memories where haunted. The
good times is always what you flaunted we planned to get of the block
and maybe make it to the league, but with time crime is what became our
intrigue. We would go to the clubs at night and act a fool we was just two
teenagers to cool for school, ups and downs heartbreaks we shared at
the same time I keep an eye on your girl you kept an eye on mine.
When my folks tripped about passed curfews, your mom would let
me crash on the couch. that’s just how tight we were. Sitting now years
later thoughts become a blur, as i see the different paths we took you
got life behind bars for being a crook, and vows with my wife i took.
Our lives could’ve been published in a book, it would’ve been called brothers
from another mother, walking away from this pen and pad, because old
thoughts tend to smother.

Fragile
deep thoughts make for shallow tendencies, of
this i am guilty. Lock me up and throw away the
key, question mark or exclamation point. This is the
life i created often questioned but never debated, why
are the haters so silent but the most opinionated? I digress
change of pace like a lack in interest, words taken in the wrong
context i sit here staring at a wall perplexed wondering what i
should do next looking threw a concave lens when it should be
convex. Modern colors on a beautiful pallet who am i to judge
withered exterior and a hard heart that wont budge.
