Momma say if some one hits you /hit them back so the likely hood that you
hit and I wont strike is slim /but momma changed somewhere down the line/
and in between me learning lessons with time/ I met you/ and often I think
you/ I blink and my mental for a second dreams you /dark you/ sweet you/ yes
you/so you see I sometimes think you/ and long for us to one time take a
chance/ be as raw as we say we are/ test lines and limits that have been set
by the world/ but in our world we could make our own rules/ and suffer the
consequences of our systematic world once we return /lets escape together
and never return/ see im consistent and intelligent but in your case I often
opt not to learn/ nor remember that your attached to a branch of that world
that you willingly formed/ before you met me/ and sometimes I hurt with
thoughts of the way that world could make you forget me/ so lets escape
together/ and never return/ you see how yearning hearts don't learn /if we
stay in the sanctity of our world/ you would forever be warm/ I forever
inflamed/ us together passions storm/ some say the physical is temporary/
and I say on the contrary/ how could they who've never tried to be openly
free/ describe the possibility of what could become of we/ and karma kisses
me/ reminds me that she/ "don't skip a beat"/ the systems of that world are
strong the pain cuts deep/ and you and me/.maybe/ we arnt worth the risk/
but I love roulette.slim to none odds still leave hope so I keep hoping that
you will one day desire like I do stare karma down like I do and be willing
to reside in our world like I do.
“On tenterhooks”
This feeling this uneasiness unstableness
Fear, the unknown like the first time I learned sex made me inferior
Unaware of who I should portray, who the world would except
Unknown to the blind eye I was uneasy
I crept upon tenterhooks
Confused, reluctant and helpless
To the treatment of lost kinfolks I witnessed
Rough words, hate crimes
Cold sweats and goose bumps
The day I learned skin meant I was unequal
Unacquainted with a need to render recompense
Unknown to another race I was uneasy
I existed on tenterhooks
In a position that compromised morals
Willingly succumbed to temptation
The overcast looks down the moon bares witness to my sin
Shame only comes when knowledge of wrong is present
How else could I say that I succumbed to temptation?
If I was not knowledgeable on the subject?
Moment’s Minute’s hours pass as I await judgment
