## Understand

we are odd
as a glitch rainbow
that's why, queens
dream, when we say so

we are digital Freuds
our mentality
is hot as fuego
our spirituality is firm
you must know

we are the children
of tomorrow

## Pretty

I need me a poet
a pretty rose
black, with a heart
and skin of gold

to walk with me as
I will conquer oblivion
someone, bold
wise enough to love truly

## Vulnerable

I will open up
being successful and alone
is painful, stressful
you can not know
how it hurts
... to the bone

I need no pity
I need no love
all I want is warmth
a heart to nurse my mind
and comfort

## I Said

I am not a player
I am a lover
who happens to like games

no two hearts are the same
you sing out my name
when we dance the dance
of the moon and the stars

I only want warm love
you said, I said

## King Talk

move like you speak
man is a lion
not a mouse
so man will no longer squeak

pride, this is not

for my destiny is more ablaze

## Night

to each his own
to birds, flight
to gods, night
to men, fright

when you the sun falls
I rise up, I take off
I take what's mine
I hustle & break hearts

#### Highways

heading to the city
coming from the jungle
I will be a King
do you not hear
my words rumble

the road is not the journey
the path is not the way
I know this, and can say
much more
but not today

#### Non

yes, indeed
I know what I need
not belief alone
I have planted the seed

yes, indeed
I know why I bleed
not for joy alone
but for the war ahead

#### Her Words

his mind is sweet
it tastes like
wine and poetry
fire and history

his soul is something
else entirely
wild, yet sweet still
it could build or kill

## Hard to stay sane

So much in my head
it's hard to stay sane...
The next person might have it
worse so I try not to complain...

In a world where even she
who smiles can't tell if her
smile is real or fake...

Still I find pleasure
in life's endless possibilities,
in the bittersweet naughtiness,
and in everything that makes me Ray…

## terminal maestro

I am a different kind of person
I think in color, and breathe in static
My people are **electric**

We come from the planet
... after Pluto, and
love machines beautiful
We have _souls_ prone to changes
When we push and pull our hearts

We are of the race, digital && bohemian
I am a coder, my lovers are alien

CTRL+C : that is all

## Beauty in the war

I was told not to trust a soul...
Made to understand that
this place is not my home..
Indeed so many, so many
things I've been sold..

But your love, your love baby
the only thing that keeps me whole.

while breathing clean air

## I am YOU with a different name

When I look at a child, my baby I see...

Thoughts of my parents come alive
when I'm in a space with the elderly...

But whenever I see a young man or woman,
I see myself with a different name and face.
I see the image of
a boy or girl that could have been me…

## Double You

"We" wouldn't be an item
if not for the letter "W"...
It kinda reminds me of a part of you
I can't wait to suckle soon.
W and double u are pronounced alike
so maybe I should double you.

Obviously am playing with words here but
All I'm tryna say is last night when you asked me
if I wanted a threesome? my heart whispered yes baby!
Double You.

the art, the artist
love, and lovers
all exist
to feel, to be

the brave
should never fear

## the citadel

#### premium

a taste of greatness
was what i first sought
when i got into the citadel

a taste of meekness
is all i still seek
to rise up, from where
i once fell

#### aqua vita

water is life
i know no more strife
i have wedded peace
she brings me new life

each time that we tangle
heart with soul
flesh with skin
i learn more of wisdom

we **make love**
sweet, _sublime_

## confession

i cannot promise you joy
for i yet still learn it
the road to strength, to truth
is full of labour and wrath

if you still choose to love
**by all means** continue along
just beware, i am more used to
the anxiety of vigour
than being under love's stupour

i will teach you, heal you, give you
drops of warmth and wisdom
from the sun and way beyond
that is all i can offer, in place of love

## Scaredy-cat

Brightness of the day fades away.
The rise of a gloomy night.
Owls echoing within the walls.
Boom!!! That sound of thunder,
Took the whole of my fears further.

Illusion; what it first seems like.
Slowly, a U-turn into pure reality.
One by one, step by step,
it breaks the soul to pieces.
A candy that became suddenly sour.

**_“Face your own fears”_**
The quote that every tongue quotes,
Like it is as easy as ABC.
But when the demons rise up,
Running seems to be the best option.

Scary, scary, scary
Dark nights are scary,
Damn!!! Nights are scary.
And I am weary.
I am a scaredy-cat.

i know now, not to think
of them, at all, as real

## gemini choices

#### strong++

weakness is not a choice
not an option anymore
you cannot climb great mountains
just at the peak, to fall

you think you are so different
from great minds born before
they all did watch their demons roar
then beat them to the floor

#### black stoic

i must withdraw
and only wisely pursue sensation
for i am too inclined
to quick gratification

this is a thing,
that springs from the virility
of youth, of man
of passions held down

i must look at my soul
and force it to look at me

## bohemian prophecy

#### the African

confident as a lion
i will no longer shave my mane
to claim one is a king
and then to fall, are not the same

#### godzone

i have a tough yet simple
relationship, with the Creator
my Creator, a creation
probably, of his Creation

when in the godzone

#### zero hero

not a saint, kind of godly

the second, i pray for

i have tossed into the universe
for She tells me, it should not
frighten my soul anymore
that i am old enough to love her now

what or who, do you worship
are you brave enough
to love the broken, and rough
**_bad gyal_** you claim to be
you wild lies have no teeth

let us erupt an artistic volcano

she said, she was not a queen
she claimed she was too dirty-minded

to speak to my readers
the _young_ and **bold**

of our flings, something nice

Gave me something I had forgotten.

I think of ways to give up for good
But remember that my life isn't mine
Waiting for suicide to come as death

I want to cry but I can't
I'm so sorry for ranting to you

## shall i speak of love

when a boy
I wanted a father

now a man
I search for a lover
one to bless with kisses
of philosophy and bliss

## Uncertain

I fell in love with you to lift my burden
Because I couldn't carry it alone
I wasn't strong enough to

I thought you knew it
Now I wake up an empty vessel
Incomplete

Uncertain of how to continue...

## Bravado

don't need your platform to perform
a chance to prove myself
am improving I just need to money-proof myself
still selfish with beef
many were called I choose myself
make e'm see reasons never to re-introduce themselves
just praise ma absence
crave ma presence
i propose your purpose is to be obsessed
with the power I possess
so you can expose secrets n dispose
your fears then do away with whatever
comes close when you suppose
bring down to nothing everything
they think they have upstairs
then leave e'm upset
lights cameras action
Am I yet on set?
nah fuck fame
am a project in progress n
winter is coming
brace yourself
create some space to separate spite from hate,
light from weight,then embrace
yourself hoping someone relates
forsake the fake to die for a sake
n wake when everybody think its late

#### gravitated

> **_i am great_**

i whisper in my mind
all alone in the universe
but i am just a teen

> **_i am great_**

i want to believe
as i write this
i am alone on a field

> **_i am great_**

but my worth is in the stars
and i am on earth
on dust and stone, far from home

> **_i am great_**

but who cares in truth
o breathe in smoke
to ease the pain

> **_i am great_**

but talk too much
but feel too much
will this gravitated pain, ever stop

next and first
time i make love
it will be beneath the sky
on an elevated level

on a love potion
of wine and lean
i will forever afterwards
become of poetry, a god

#### calmer than stone

my special yellow pill
makes me hungry
and inclined to sleep
makes me inclined to weep

if i were a bird
i would never fly.
even with wings
larger than the sky
i would be too shy to fly

no one understands me
so i will withdraw
not into a shell, that is but hell

solid i shall be
i know nothing yet

of the true me

If I ever left a permanent mark on my skin because of you
Then know I loved you
Know that you hurt me and disappointed
Know that each mark represents every time you left me
Know that you're killing me without even knowing it

## bread and water

that feeling of being artistic
that borders on madness,
far from realistic

that makes the simple
to feel they are kingly
that waters pure folly
and ruins humanity

**_it now haunts me_**
**_shall i fall or stand_**

that feeling of being artistic
that helps the weak
feel strong, and more than heroic

that makes the broken
rise and scream prophecy
that trims off all evil
from the soul of man

**_it now haunts me_**
**_shall i fall or stand_**

#### Just right

I’m not even sure how all this ties up,
To make sense but it feels right,
With knees to the ground and eyes up,
It just feels right.

With every mistake made and repeated,
Lessons not learnt and mind undefeated,
Repentance, repentance, secreted,
It all feels just right.

Encounter upon departure,
Departure upon merger,
Tightly-knit circles,
Now this, this feels quite right.

Loyalty to betrayal,
There’s never a round for trials,
Only those that are tribulations,
The test run is the actual situation,
Calculate your risks,
Even if you don’t,
At some point,
You can get used to anything,
It will all feel just right.

#### How to cook pride

Chop it into pieces,
Stir it up in a bowl,
Boil it,
Sprinkle a spice here, a tear there,
Marinade it in justification and excuses,
Preheat your Dutch oven
that is you ever-so-accurate mind,
With a side of your largest ego,
You can butter the pan with the
lies that you tell yourself,

Fry it if you want,
Deep-fry it in the depth
of all the disappointment,
As the snaps of their heart
breaks echo from the fire,

After you have done all this,
Or whichever you please,
You may swallow it.
And wash it down with a tall glass
of that ice-cold heart.

#### Power to will

Discipline,
Is the power of willpower,
The power to will your mind into
selectively choosing what is right for you,
Even when what is right for you
is not what is easy for you,
Even when what is right for you
might not be what is good for you,
At the time,
Even when what is right for you
might just be what brings you pain,
Even when what is right for
might not actually be right for you but right for,
Him, for her, for them.

The power to will your mind
into choosing tomorrow over today,
To look up from your screen
so you can see the bigger picture.

#### Get to know you

The most fun I have ever had
is getting to know me,
For me,
Through me,
Through God.

My likes, my dislikes,
My path …
Without the pressure and noise
from the buzzing of notifications,
Without justifying me
and actually being true to me.

Without feeling the need
to be complemented by anything or anyone,
Rushed by anything,
Compared, measured,
Genuinely living for me,
It is like an extra Sunday to the week,
Like the extra five minutes in the morning,
Like always being on top of your own peak,
And like the nightingale, I will sing,
The song of my rejoice that need not be sung,
For it is its own anthem.

what's a crow, what's a dove
tell me if you know

wrap itself around a soul, if you know
tell me if you know

all we can ever do,
is ride low
there is no black
son of god, no dark apostle

but i hold it not against any religion
you see, its all supertition

creatures of the darkness,

that lurks in our soul
* pressuring our misery
to build their bones
* destroying our walls,
and stealing the stones

so we're lost in the ruins,
of our newly corrupted soul.

#### one day

Maybe one day life
won't be so complicated,
Maybe one day we'll shed
all the insecurities

that have grown on us and have
souls that are pure and naked,
Maybe one day our innocence we'll regain,
When that time comes we will be children again

We'll be free to cast our worries aside,
Forget our problems and throw away
all the sorrows we have to hide,
Maybe one day we'll be free to soar
through life like birds in the sky,

And maybe one day
pigs will grow wings
and learn how to fly

#### prince turned king

I remain hidden in fluctuating
shades of grey and black

Horrified by the slaughter of my people
Horrified by the slaughter of my kind

I remain hidden for fear of my demise
And with pain I watch as my father is also
Slain

The crown falls from atop his head
immediately I'm sure he is dead
Cause the African holds on to the crown till death

Still in motion the crown
finds my hiding place and
stops it's movement at my feet

I was a prince but now I am king

## fool no more

i am a fool no more
life is cool no more
i stare at reality
angry and calm

i count my sins
they climb up to the stars.
nothing soothes
no one can choose
the darkness of their soul

momma wants me to be holy
poppa just wants me to be
yet he is never around me

there is no one to ease
i seek no longer to please

## pointless

do not fight
the demons that you see
the pain within your soul
your sorrows turned to joy
the world is just too cold

do not fight
the love you know to doubt
whisper and then shout
the gods are too asleep
to help you out

do not fight
who you know you are
you could be a star
or a blackhole
either way, you are in the sky

do not fight
what helps you remember
you are made of gold
who cares if no one cares
wipe away your tears

do not fight
the colours on your soul
the red that proves you are bloody
the black that is your mind
the green that is your flag

do not fight
the pointlessness of life
there is no rhythm to reality
no one will sing your song
till you claim it is your anthem

## SILLY THOUGHTS

Sometimes I feel invisible or like
I exist only in someone's subconscious.

Like, what if I'm not real
I mean, what if I'm just a part
of someone's reality.
Or what if this is just
someone's nightmare, Because
I'm definitely not living a dream.

I mean, I know for sure
there could be infinite alternate realities
to every reality.

My reality isn't convincing enough.

with regard to myself,
i know

- this is catharsis
- this has no rhyme

my depth is shallow at best

## to my future love

- - -

#### trust

is a seed
that does
not just grow

first you sow
then you mend

**_on and on_**
**_without end_**

i will give
you will take
just do not

pretend

- - -

#### desire

come at me always
with the heat
of pure fire

never relent
in loving
and i too
will never
in adoring

- - -

#### want me

its not complex
truly simple
you and me

want and need
_not me indeed_

but the passion
you and i
know i breed

- - -

#### reflect

on the way
you once did walk
before i passed
you my cross

blanched as chalk
is my soul
with a center
full of **melanin**

- - -

## impatient

i tire
of waiting

of skating
on the fence

of relating
with pagans

**_full of pretence_**

- - -

## bitter blunt

you sting
and whisper
a tale of death

but im not coughing
but im not choking
i accept it

- - -

## just because

lets do nothing
just because

life is a game
you catch
and toss

- - -

## mean

do not like me
if you wish
that does not matter

just do not speak
behind my back
i hear your chatter

i taste sweet
ask your soul
i am a honeyed black adder

- - -

## darling

come to me

**_in a dream_**
**_smile and dance_**

leave me be
if you can

**_in a dream_**
**_smile and dance_**

- - -

## midnight

god bless
my magic yellow pill

for drowning out
the pain surreal

thank you lov*
for being real

- - -

## question

a stranger asked
"are you okay?"

no friend can stand
with me by day

ask not why i repress my pain
leave me this way

- - -

## antihero

- - -

#### batman

i am alone
that ought not
to be stated

yet i save
those i can
from falling

i am no saint
yet still,
half-martyred

- - -

#### the punisher

guerrilla warrior
sweeper of deceit

nothing poetic
breathing crooked
pure artistry

anger is a weapon
i know too well

- - -

#### john constantine

chain smoker
my pain is hidden
in a box

demon caller
i know my faults

not worthy of a lover
i lie to all
leave me be

- - -

#### catwoman

independent
broken
independent

all in turns
no pain burns

walk on edges
fly off rooftops
all to run away
from love

- - -

## bye

true poetry
they do not
feel your truth

true love
they do not
want your warmth

true peace
they do not
seek your girth

- - -

## del ray

_lana knows my soul_

i guess
i think
i cannot know

_lana knows my soul_

she breathes
pure gold
yet wants nothing

_lana knows my soul_

- - -

## simple

could love not be
direct as smoke

straight as a tree
other than
full of glee

why do we
claim we know
what we do not

- - -

## guns and roses

life

## lack of

the absence
of sleep
means not
insomnia

the lack
of love
means not
loneliness

nothing can
fill a thing
that is nothing

- - -

## cold poetry

look not
into my eyes
_i cannot look back_

look not
into my soul
_its kind of wack_

my poems
hardly rhyme nowadays
_now thats a fact_

- - -

## do not

- - -

do not look
do not see
do not feel
do not speak

_understand_
_there is no point_

do not love
do not hug
do not smile
do not reach

_understand_
_there is no point_

do not wonder
do not ask
do not bother
do not sigh

**...**

## CONFESSIONS

- - -

#### no one can

see this
so
i will no try

i cannot cry,
will not be
heard when i die

care for
a half-broken soul

- - -

#### understand

i cannot be
happy in the
true sense

there is a
rhythm to joy
i might
never learn

- - -

#### the way

that i feel
is not so deep
not so complex

truly
not so slick
disposable
as a tick

yet i strive
for no reason
for a season
of spring

- - -

#### my mind beats

illogical
balanced and grotesque

like a jungle
voltaire
i think _candide_

instead
of my heart
i need it to feel

- - -

#### ... i need a muse

offers were up
down to the ground

no one can hear
my soul's very sound

i tire of speaking
painting, and explaining

the pits of my being
and broken lofty peaks
