Ode

Roaring to the sky.
Sweet and simple with start, with a match or two match, As you start the colors will come, yellow, blue, green, With helps with a log or two you are starting to make your roar,

Time
When you’re born you don’t know its meaning Demands are just sleep, food and cleaning It passes so fast Folks wish it would last

The Flight of a Thought
An idea came To the tip of my brain Sat on the cliff Looked over the precipice Teetered there... And fell Outstretched synapses

Incarcerated Brothers, Maybe Broooothers, Like Brothers Brothers
I'm GAY! Not the funny type of gay! The real, gay, the gay gay shit! Well, it started when my father wasn't able to tell me he loved me! Then my mother left me on a door-step of another neighbor! Real TOUGH shit! I got like 10 baby momma's! Some horse radish ice-cream, but truth be told, I kind of needed some pillow talk time! I needed "SEX"! Not a person, who could "PROVIDE" sex... Nah, just sex. I needed "MONEY"! Not a person, who could "PROVIDE" money... Nah, just money. So this is the last time I'm telling you...

The Last Light
The night carried a thin layer of moisture, as if the rain still trembled behind the clouds. On the edge of the old town stood a worn-out house whose window lamps often extinguished on their own. But tonight… tonight a strange and vivid light gleamed from within.
