The Smoke Will Clear

A rumor is a nasty thing
trouble's what they bring
sometimes they may sting
but the smoke will clear soon

Rumors create many problems
faster than you can solve them
and It's not easy to resolve them
but the smoke will clear soon

Rumors can make or break you
They can even invade and take you
Destroy your pride and rape you
but the smoke will clear soon

Ignore those rumors they're not true
Don't let them get the best of you
These people are just testing you
but the smoke will clear soon

Lips Of Fire

The moment our lips first met
Is a moment I'll never forget
The heat of the mood was set
Just by the taste of you

In your eyes I saw art
In your lips I felt sparks
Sensed love in your heart
Just by the taste of you

Upon my soul you casted a spell
And deeper in love with you I fell
A romance as hot as flames of hell
Just by the taste of you

Your love is what I require
Your fire is what I desire
By your beauty I'm inspired
Oh how I crave the taste of you

Life Of A Poet

Lately I’ve been going ‘round in circles with my words
Complications arise as I dress my subjects with verbs
Inspiration has escaped me to create magic it won’t let me
It continues to hold me back and it’s beginning to upset me
I breathe, bleed and sweat ink love it with all my heart
But now my pen and paper are starting to grow apart
Within my art is where I find my strength and sanity
To steal it from me would be a crime to humanity
Sometimes it drives me to the point of using profanity
And I would use every word in a manner so candidly
Though profanity never equals resolutions
All profanity does is create endless confusion
Yet some poets seem to be under the idiotic illusion
That it makes them look cool what a dim witted delusion
All I want is to breathe the gift of life back into my words
For they are out of oxygen this curse must be reversed
I am in desperate need to rebirth
More strength and power into my words
Transform back into the poet that I am
Display the true talent in my work
My pen and paper have stuck by me
Through all that’s thick and thin
I guard them with my life
So much passion I hold within
Paradise and excitement
Is what my words bring me
It’s a feeling like no other
And it’s wonderful believe me
Lord I hope all these circles
Soon form into straight lines
So that I can enter back
Into my world of rhymes

Scares Me

My mind has gone blank creativity has been drained
These days it’s becoming even harder to maintain
Yet still I wear every single little scar and stain
But they serve no purpose and nothing has changed
My passion has been tossed out into the waves of the blistering cold
Turning my emotions into icicles freezing the corners of my soul
It scares me to know that I am nothing without my rhymes
My poetry is my life and my life my poetry defines
Poetry is my oxygen and I can’t live without it
Chances of me without it yeah I highly doubt it
Because it has healed my heart and has helped me through hard times
That’s why you can feel so much passion dripping from every line
I don’t want this gift to ever fade away
I will try my best to convince it to stay
Just the thought of it escaping
Scares the hell out of me
Kind of makes me feel like
My confidence has fell out of me
Though undoubtedly I’ll bounce back
My time is now you’ll see

Planet Hate

Prisoners always escape
To a fate worse than death
Growing weak along the way
And running out of breath
Innocent kids being raped
Crimes rates are rising
In each and every state
Young women being kidnapped
Young men getting killed
Young people being stabbed
Tell me what’s the deal?
Teen girls getting pregnant
Fathers abandoning their children
Planes crashing into towers
And knocking over buildings
Gangs banging ‘round every corner
Kids selling dope for illegal foreigners
Criminals robbing highly secured banks
Collapsing the economy Bush thanks
The innocent sit behind bars
While the guilty run free
We live in a hateful world
It’s very clear to see

Let It Be

Tell me what’s the point of lying
When what I feel is real
Tell me what’s the use in hiding
What can not be concealed?
They say that time is your best friend
And that it soothes and heals everything
When all that time really does
Is crush and kill everything
Yet here I am still hanging on by a thread
Seconds from falling yet inside I’m already dead
Just hoping that you’ll catch me
Save me from the dangers below
Console my soul, making me happy
Allowing your breath of love to blow
But now the message is clear and very easy to see
So I will no longer continue fighting I will just let it be

Fear

Are you afraid to take a chance?
Afraid to pass a second glance
Allow your mind to enhance
Darling have no fear

Are you afraid to feel?
To let your heart take the wheel
For your emotions to be revealed
Darling have no fear

Are you afraid to care?
Unsure of what’s really there
Ridden with skepticism and despair
Darling have no fear

Are you afraid to fly?
Are you afraid to cry?
Afraid of what may lie inside?
Darling there’s nothing to fear
