Final Notice

I saw Death caress the neck of her
The rest of her rest in peace within the sepulcher
“Love lost love gained,” sang the messenger
The one truth is that pain is the lecturer
Fame is the death of us

Chained to the nebula

Ocean deep is he who sees through the veil of us
But never takes it off

Laid upon a bed of myrrh
Stars flowing through my veins where the final war
Will be fought upon the plains of my darkest thoughts
“Make it stop,” screamed the child as his eyes watched on

But it did not; instead it fades into the final chorus
The final song the final days the final silent opus
The final grave the final night the final hocus pocus
Alakazam this final prayer is your final notice

So take heed

The Speech

I’m tired in an empty seat
It’s full of me, but I’m dozing off
So I can’t see

I’d rather sleep
Instead of hearing
What you got to say

I wanna leave
Give me room
Let a person breathe

I’m suffering

Suffocating on the
Empty words

Distracted daze
Got me in a cage
Of passive verbs

Let me out
Let me live free
And be me

Let me eat
Let me practice
What I never preach

Let me breathe

Let me see what
I wanna see

Let me swim
Let me fly
Let my prescience seep
Into the sky

Let my roots
Sink forever deep

Let me drink
Let me die
A forever sleep

It get’s me high

When they talk about
What they don’t know

About my chance
About my fate
About where I can go

I wanna laugh
Wanna cry
Wanna cut the throat

Of the Man
Understand
This is how it goes

Let me live

Likeness of Beauty (For Lilianne)

Likeness of beauty sculptured by god and placed before me
I rise to your light outstretch to your smile you grow in my mind I am lost in your cloud
Lioness on the prowl I am your prey and I pray in the night that you are my fate
Incite my insight with your beautiful ways that splash me like waves
And enrapture my gaze captured and trapped you torture with grace
Natural that I should write to the page then read it aloud to you right to your face
Notice your smile when I compliment taste you make me feel shy in a confident way
Evanesced from my dream when I wake to the day

Likeness of beauty sculptured by god and placed before me
Intoxicate thought with vapors that pour from your presence
Walked in your light fought the urge to be free
Trapped by my own moral standings my own comprehensions

So I ask the world to stand up and bear witness
To this kiss as it’s written and transferred from the pen
To your lips where it’s given

From the page to your neck to your hips
Where my lips may be pressed if not for
This page and this pen in my grasp

It’s a given that Heaven was smitten
Astonished that I found you living on Earth
When nothing but pain I was given since birth
But here you are dream come alive
From the seams I am ripped
And my dream never died
I can see that my dead hopes have risen

You and I verse and we are the word
You have given me something to feel
You are delight satisfaction unheard
Delivered from verse and made Real

Plaintive Waters

Test the waters
The surface breaks
Ripples are the daughters
Of the stone as it sinks
Into the river

Reflections of vain beauty
Narcissus shivers
In the presence
Of detection of his sins
Making of him Man the Lesser

Manic depressive
To drown sinking stone
Return to the essence

Aphrodite born from the waves
Every mans mistress
Chasing her until the grave

Divination of the question
That is whispered to the air
And to the gods
There is no answer
And to man there is no reason

So he closes up his mind
And in his rhyme can be glimpsed
The query and the mystery
Of his lies to himself

Narcissus stares at a still pool
I am beautiful
Echoes through
The earths crusted womb

I am better
I am all the grace of symmetry
Set divinely in a face
Worth gazing at until
I turn to dust
When I decay

And it echoed through
The dust of which
All common man is made

And it echoed and it echoes
Until the silence takes its place

Suicidal stone being watched
As it sinks from the corner of
His eye as his vision slowly dies

There was a vision of the sky
As waves of sound traveled by
Through the cavern of his thought
With tantalizing throaty cries

I am beautiful
Waved the flower
I am all the grace of symmetry
Set divinely petaled face

Love me love me not
The maiden plucked
And beauty breaks

In the distance
Rippled daughters
Languid sighs
Bemoaning fathers fate

Symmetry set divinely
Floating circles in its wake
As it faded slowly
From her vision
With dying breath
The stone sank

Nigger

I could almost
Taste
The word
Before it grew
From your lips
Like so much
Strange fruit

Made my mouth water

Yea, I’ve tasted
That bitterness before

On Southern plantations
And Northern courts

Well, you know where
You know why
I’m sure you
Already know
The story

Written in blood
Upon this
Nation’s subconscious

You define me
You put me
In a category
Not of my choosing

That word
Leaving your mouth
My prison
My class

My hoody
My hair
My music
My ass

My step and
My bop
My rhythm
My sass

My streets
My knowledge
My saxophone jazz

My rock and
My roll
My pants and
Their sag

My peoples
My hood
My niggas
My fam

So thank you
I said
Thanks for
Putting and
Keeping me in
My place
Right here
Where I belong

Nigger
Black
Fear Me
Like night
Fear Me
Like death

If that’s
What helps
You sleep

I’m all about
Helping out
Masta sah

Time ticks in between the cracks
Of my thoughts each second
Silent like dark, like the corpse
Of a man who had lived and
Had died lived the course
Of a life that he loved
But the love wandered lost
He was dark she was light
And their love traveled forth
Into Heaven into Hell like
A nihilistic force…

She broke the silence with
A withering look
Towards her father’s stern gaze

She leaned close and
Kissed me full on these lips
And I in a daze felt the pot melt away

Except For Dreams

It’s so hard
To go forward
He said looking
Slightly to the sky
So hard to build

Easy to destroy

Why do you
Think that is
He asked me
Awaiting an answer
That he knew
I knew

A pause
As birds
Fly across
The sunlit
Skies screaming
Their freedom

Except for dreams
He said before
I could answer

Except for dreams

Pen

A tear ruptures the frame
Individual reality screaming
Abstract enlightenment unworded
Expressionless it dwells within
Ripping through all thought
Until there is only

One

To share verbalize explain
To open perspective eye ear mind
End beliefs and believe anew

Mind out of time speaks to the next
Mouth piece of the brain
Salivating theories
That pool into words

Instrument of birth
Spilling life between the margins

Excuses

Marriage of media to beast
Slave to foreign currencies
That wash ashore on native currents
Indigenous the waters
Extraterrestrial the life
That drinks of its body

“To live,” thus spake the parasite

Heliocentric view that we may see
Blinded by its looks
Literal interpretations
Of ancient fiction
Over wine laid on the backs
Of prostrate children

“To live,” thus spake the parasite

Fire from skies akin
To some ancient fulfillment
Arms racing like two hands
Moving forward to grasp the same things
Greedy to crush that which offends
The beholder’s eye

“To live,” thus spake the parasite

Below the Mountain

Said the Oracle

It is a given that time
Moves and is measured
Increments within cerebral boundaries

So in essence / Ancestor of existence
Inner thought can make love to eternity
Conceiving internal immortality

Watching silently as the
Oracle pleasures herself
With her own wisdom

Watching the heart
Measure the pulse
Of limited life

Watching lives
Lengths measured
By thoughts and mind

The consciousness stream for
Ever measured within itself

Said she below the mountain

Imperishable!

How I Feel About You Redux

You wrap around
Snake in flesh
Bite delivers pain
Pale is she
Scales of winter
Burn like crimson flame
Her words like death
Disguised as life
It hurts to say her name
To those that ask
Surrogate wife
I choke her in my dreams

We fall we fall we dance through the air
On wings of angels slain
We talk of things from one to the next
But we never can hear a thing
We die resurrect just to hang by our necks
Just a test my choir would sing
I sing I sing of the moment of death
When we mated our flesh to our graves

It is said that
The ways of
This woman is wild
A past that lies
Longer than
Many a mile
She says not
What you heard
With a smile
So dread her
Coming flee if
You’re found

To believe or not to believe or not
Remember that she wears the crown
She deceives but can hardly see
So watch who you be when she is around
Her name is a sound offensive to clouds
They cry and cover the sky in a shroud
They know that she is the bringer of dark
The slayer of all things profound

This poem is a sort of alternate/opposite remix to How I Feel About You
