Justified Anger

My anger is justified today
So far I’ve been supportive of around my way
But now it’s too much
People around you, you can’t even trust
Your own “people” shoot you and rob you
Who do they think they are? Who?
I’m about ready to give up on these punks
They wanna be thugs, chumps
Yeah the government made it bad on the hood
But these little dudes aren’t misunderstood
At least not to me
Through that fake thug I see
I cared, but now I care less
I’m not gone be bothered by the stress
Yeah I said it; just give em a craft and a trade
But they so deep in this way of life that it won’t fade
How do you help people that keep robbing you?
I’m done, wash my hands and I’m through
I defending these dudes when my pops said they bad
I just thought maybe they needed a brother or a dad
But when a gun is put his face
All that “I want to help” goes out in space
Like someone talked bout my mama, them fighting words
All that peaceful talk is kicked to the curb
Anger, hate whatever you wanna call it
All that, I’m feeling it
Put me in a closed room with them for 5 minutes time
He’ll come out talking like a mime
I know I shouldn’t hate cause of who I believe in
But just the thought of revenge gives me a little grin
Am I wrong for thinking about that danger?
Or do I have justified anger?

Sneaking

Tip toeing in my socks
As not to disturb rocks
She is sleeping so peacefully
This won't be done easily
I move in, hand out waiting for a scream
To my surprise she wakes and hugs me
Finger over my mouth, shhh
Let's head down south
She agrees and we flee
We're lover birds to be
We're playing around the stars
In the distance we can see Mars
We have a quick bite to eat on the Moon
I say baby you have to return soon
Sad look comes over her and she doesn't want to go
But I promise her I'll be back tomorrow
For now let's enjoy each other
Quick nap on a cloud together
Man it feels like forever
My watch sounds as the sun peaks
And to her I softly speak
Its time my love
We blow kisses and she rises above
To keep our secret she puts back on her halo
As I return to Earth through a rainbow
I'm her dough and she is my leaven
So I'm sad until I again sneak my Angel out of Heaven

Wonderland Revisited

Wonderland calls me for another visit
So back I'm going to go
There is more to explore, I'm a good critic
This time I have her under strobe light glow

The way the light hits her is breath taking
The way the light shadows her curves
Her curves are looking for the light, waiting
It's like when the light isn't on her it gets on her nerves

After a while the glow in her eyes is brighter than the light
her smile gives radiance
A wink and a smirk of the lip could turn day to night
And to understand that power takes patience

Her voice is that of Angelic hymns
Sound comes across her lips like a breeze off the ocean
Her tear drops are like gems
And her breath is a love potion

Her skin has upkeep by the hour
Years have passed but she hasn't aged
Only described by heavenly power
Beauty never stops even after years turn the page

It seems every time I come to Wonderland I find something new
I fall in love all over again the moment I arrive
I don't know how she does what she do
All I know is Wonderland takes me above the skies

Different

She’s so contrary to popular belief
You wouldn’t want to give up on her lease
Her name even tastes different when spoken off the tongue
She gives my favorite food a run
And there’s no intention for a pun
This is “real talk” even though cliché
My ears are on the look out for any thing she may say
I say contrary because she’s beautiful but her mind shines
She stands tall as pines
And she’s all m…
Well maybe not
But I would like her to be the main character in my plot
My story
She can be my Robert Horry
People fear words like different, strong willed, independent
But of royalty we’re all descendent
She’s different, not compared to the latest video
When seen out, people don’t go “here we go”
Here we go with the same ‘ol mini dress
Same ‘ol shirt reveling a well lotion chest
She’s a beautiful lady with curves none the less
But she doesn’t have to show her butt or breasts
She’s so different
Complex even, meaning it takes time to understand her
She’s not simple, making guys uneasy or unsure
But that’s what I like about this lady
…even if she’s not meant for me
Just to know she’s out there is great
And just because she’s different doesn’t make her fake
She’s just different

Brain Storm

Get ya umbrellas out, the kid about to brain storm
But turn them up side down cause it’s against the norm
I want you to catch the ideas I’m showering you with
In every drop there is a positive tip
I don’t know exactly who I’m speaking to
But one thing is for sure I’m talking to you
You with the mountain you feel you can’t climb
You that’s always in a rush to waste time
And you who can’t see the future because of what you left behind
Why dwell in the past, when each day is new?
And wouldn’t it feel good to look back and see how you grew?
Get it? You need rain to grow
Trials and troubles, you know how they go
Hope you catch the moral of the story, we all make mistakes
But you live and learn and that idea makes life great
Where you come from can mold you, but who you are should make you
If you’re around good people you become them and they you
I wouldn’t lie, every thing I say is true
Why be proud to be a follower or just apart of the crowd?
Why not be a leader and set the tone of that crowd?
So now the storm is passing and you didn’t even get wet
But the question is, is ya umbrella full from what you were to catch?

Wishing on a Star

I feel like there’s no hope
Like I’m at the end of my rope
I’m in a hole and can’t get out
I’m held down and can’t sprout
So I’m wishing on a star
God it seems like you’re so far
So I’m praying you meet me half way
I feel I’m just wasting my day
Tough times on the inside
It’s starting to leak out on the ride
Rusty sides and loose wheels
And the new paint is starting to peal
So I’m wishing on a star
And trying to keep par
Trying to hold up my end but it’s tough
The system is against me and not just
Two steps forward and three back
What’s up with that?
Lord order my steps
It is You who knows best
I’m praying to the starThat’s not so far

More?

Let’s start with a simple question shall we
How great do you think we could be?
I think we could be really marvelous
Lack of love would starve us
But I see my future in your eyes
I don’t care about the what ifs and whys
As long as we keep it real and no lies
I mean we’re friends but why can’t we be more?
Why can’t we just let emotions pore?
Stop worrying about what people say and think
Stop worrying about what happens when you blink
As long as your head is above water, you won’t sink
And you mean too much to me to let you sink
Once again…
Why can’t we be more than friends?
All I want is a chance
Your life I want to enhance
I don’t know if it’ll last a lifetime
Or be as short as this rhyme
But that’s a small risk great reward option
So what’s up baby, let’s get it poppin’
Not to sound arrogant, but I want to show you a real man
Someone who is not afraid to hold your hand
I’m tried of going through these flings
I want the woman who invades my dreams
Let me see that grin
Why can’t we be more than friends?
