My beauty queen, a vivid dream,
Fill me with peroxide.
Wash my sins, I'm looking in,
Stranded from the outside.
I beg and pray, what can I say?
Your frigid lips are still.
You didn't die, alone that night,
Both you and I were killed.

Token of my Thanks

I came into existence the 12th of February.
Blessed, guess it was hereditary.
Both tryin to be something,
Literally came with nothing,
My parents heard the negativity,
... But thought none of it.
My mother was so strong.
Though she was faced with doom.
She grit her teeth and pulled through,
And held me deeply in her womb.
My father persevered, shed tears and blood and sweat,
Yet if I ask him now, I know there's nothing he regrets.
So bless their hearts and souls, because everything's ok.
They're the reason that I'm standing here today.

A perfect blend of devil's wine.
Angel sin, she's hell divine,
Yin and Yang combined.
Two sides that coincide,
The sky and the riptide,
... We're birds of a feather,
Two peas in a pod.
Yea, she makes me better,
It's so right that it feels odd

Sparks

I can't contain it or explain it,
I'm drawn in, I cannot stop
Our love's a raging storm,
And she's the lightning rod.
The spark is in the air,
... Can you feel it? It's a shock,
The friction is addicting,
Speeds the ticking of the clock.

To the moral of the story, I can be your trickster
You can be my missy, I can be your mister,
Let me be the twister, be the wind all around me,
surrounding, raging a storm and astounding,
A maelstrom of air compounding, breeze by breeze,
leaves on trees, you can dance on me,
and we, can see, our future so clearly, vividly,
creating a 'you and me' into 'we'.
thus, simply, living contently.

A Muse to this poet,
Amusing to show it,
Let me hold you close,
Till we're both claustrophobic.

This is a haiku,
Actually saying nothing.
This was a haiku

Will you?

Will you?

Sometimes at night, I think about the willow,
When I'm resting on my pillow, and I'm feeling real, real low.
Beat myself up, I'm feeling down like the leaves are.
Emotions rise and fall like a see-saw,
So I'm heading to the ER.
A patient, patiently awaiting.
Cuz I know that there is somethin that can save me.
I was feeling way too down for too long,
I looked like I was falling but I'm still standing strong.
Still holding on, my roots run deep,
Let it seep into your essence when I weep,
I'll take a leap of faith, so watch me branch out.
They'll never take the bark out of my mouth
