Promises
DC raw love Nov 2014
Promises in the dark
Mean nothing to the heart

With dreams of illusion
With shattered ways

Our bad behavior
Leads to bad ways

The feelings of darkness
With no signs of hope

Can lead to depression
To unfold a growth

A grouth that kills
And its not another

It kills you within
And you will find nothing

Promise yourself
That one day you’ll change

And may God be with you
To fulfill your dreams

Needing Space
DC raw love Apr 2015
The day you left for your space
The tears I cried that filled my eyes

Counting the hours each and everyday
Making myself sick in everyway

I wish I could sleep, my life away
Why did this day, have to end this way

I never thought that the night
Would hold me in such freight

If I could only see pass the dark
Or just close my eye's from the start

To feel the fear of you not being here
Not knowing the answers of why your not here

I will pull my eyes out, hold my breath
and wait until I shake, to hear an answer

If I had some faith, I could make it safe
If I was only sure, your love is pure

true purpose in life
DC raw love Feb 2015
Lets be real, what do you want out of life
Are you happy where you are at in life

Do you feel unsatisfied and you want something different in life.
Are you uneasy about talking that first step towards your dream.

Are you truly happy are just content, just cruising in life
Do you ever say, ****, my life is so boring, day in and day out.

Do you not think of these things, because you were taught a simple lifestyle, brainwash to think, that you will be the person that you are or the person that someone else wants you to be.

life throws so much at us everyday, weather good are bad it's always there.
we all know that the only person that can truly drive you is yourself and the only motivation you truly get comes from your thoughts.

Find an inspiration that can push you. It could be from a mentor, music, a friend or a loved one.

This is so easy to say and yes so hard to do or even understand what i am trying to say.

One day it will come clear, not necessarily this writing, but your true purpose in life.

Hell
DC raw love Mar 2015
As I walk through the valley of death
I fear no evil, for my mind is dead

Dead to the world as my life goes
Walking in nothing where no wind blows

Where people are made of delusions
and where sound is made of silence

The only thing to see is the pain in me
With the only thing to eat is the pity in me

Where the sky is dark red without any light
The moon is an illusion with symptoms of fright

With eyes white as snow, with skin so pale
Black as the night is how my soul prevails

With burning dirt of fire, with dust that burns

Were my skin crawls with leech's that drives me insane
A spirit with nothing, a spirit that's spoiled

These feelings I get, makes me think I'm in hell
With burning dirt of fire, with dust that smells

Is this my life or is a terrible dream
Someone please wake me before I scream

can't forget
DC raw love Jan 2015
My eye's are fuzzy
I feel cold and gray

These feelings I get
Make me sick

These feelings
That I love you

They hurt once and awhile

They bring me self pity
Feelings I don't like

That minute has passed
I'll shake my head

So I don't wish you for dead
I start to write

About my terrible past
About the life we had

Thoses days are now over
Why don't they leave my head

something more
DC raw love Jan 2015
All i want out of life
is a sweet bitter end

nothing great
just the small things

a little love
some best friends
memorable times
to the end

nothing surreal
just very real

common ground
for what i find
and pleasurable

yet, still i find
something more

My house
DC raw love Feb 2015
What is this house
Is it
A palace
A kingdom
A temple
or
A state of mind

We sometimes search
For things we lost
I lost my emotions
In this house

I've searched for years
Full of darkness
With nothing near

Always crying
Full of tears
Losing my thoughts
Filled with fear

This place we call a house
Is easily lost
Yet easily found
Always remember
It's a state of mind

are you true
DC raw love Feb 2015
the little things
is all i want

a piece of sky
a blue moon

a little question
can you always be true

the things you forget
is the pain that can ****

locked in a cage
tearing at my brains

you tell a tale
on and on and on

the simple question
are you true

Misery
DC raw love Dec 2014
Does misery bring pain or does pain bring misery
Is it feelings within of the times you've been scorned

Scorned from another, who holds pain from within
From times of darkness, from times of pain

Misery loves company, a truthful saying
One who knows no love and feels his shame

Shamed of their life, because of no love
Shame from their conscience, the feelings of pain

They know no other but misery and pain

bitter sweet symphony
DC raw love Mar 2015
Hello to my love affair

I feel we must talk about our
bitter sweet symphony

well I've never dreamed
of ever coming into tune
in this song about you and me

I feel that I am a million
different people inside

I always run and hide
then tell a lie

I play the drums at home
And the harp with you

Can you sing along
and play my song

a lost life
DC raw love Feb 2015
life of lost values
what has become of them

i hope to hold onto
what once was  and is now the past

what has this pathetic world come to
leaving me to drown in it's ****

i stay away
from life's new realization
or i will only go in circles

why must they act crazy
with  only god to save us

i feel like i'm made of paper
lost in a puddle of their ****

what i say and what i feel
means absolutist nothing

where are we gone, will we ever make it
or
do we cry as one
in this life of hell in a living burning pit

with only drunken pain
to see the light

of this **** hole
of a lost life

someone please
sew my eye's shut
plug my ears
and cut out my tounge

in the aching hours of the night
i throw my life at the walls
singing to the choir
as my roll defines me

innuendos surround me
as I was the creator
who gives them softly
to the self absorbing

what else can i be
what else can i teach
what else can i learn

yet i will take the blame
and choke on the ashes
of the insane

LOOKIN FOR HOPE
DC raw love Dec 2014
I’ve been traveling down this road
Looking for hope and no place to find it

I have the afternoon scope
Still looking for hope
And I think I can find it

With no place to go
With no signs of hope
I won’t give up trying

I have the night time blues
I can’t find any help
To find this 12 o’clock hope
But I’ll just keep trying

I got a few clues
To find this thing of hope
Without even trying

It was right in my face all the time
But I thought I had to buy it

The top 10 Challenge
DC raw love Dec 2014
By far, I am not a poet
I was bored in prison
So I wrote about my life
About the people around me
In Florida you are guilty before proven innocent

I feel that poetry must come from your heart
You shouldn’t think about what you write
It should just flow to the paper
If it makes you feel better about yourself
That’s what counts

The intellectual words
The *******
The forming
Mean nothing
Unless your writing a book

I do have a few books that will be published
Called RAW POETRY

Go with your heart I say again
Go with your life
It’s about you and no other
We can only try to help others through our writings

Love you all
Kitos  to everyone

Kitos means good job and god be with you

i got a 16 guage buried under my coat

i pray,
once upon a time, i could control myself
once upon a time, i could lose myself

indian summer and i hate the heat
i got my hand in my pocket so determinded and descrete

there she was with him on the side of the street
they think i have my eyes closed
but i'm looking at them the whole ******* time

i explode

once upon a time, i could control myself

Don't ask me to remember
Don't ask me to understand
Let me rest and know your with me
Kiss my cheek and hold my hand
I'm confused beyond your concept
I'm sad, i'm sick and I'm lost
Do not lose your patience with me
Do not scold or curse my crying
I can't help the way I'm acting
I can't be different though I try
I don't mean to get lost
I'm sorry I can't always remember you
Just remember I need you
The best of me is gone
Please don't fail to stand by me
I was once like you
I've always loved you, so love me please

Life Again
DC raw love Oct 2015
I think my mind is dying,
it's playing tricks on me again....

My shadow is shedding it's skin,
is it trying to step through me.....

I wallow in my own chaotic,
insecure delusions.....

I've been digging through my confusion,
to find out what I have been hiding.....

I want to feel the change consume me,
and start this life again....

Scars

Is It Any Wonder
DC raw love Dec 2014
sitting on this barstool
talking like a **** fool
got the twelve o'clock news blues

i've given up hope
on the afternoon soaps
with a bottle of cold brew

is it any wonder I'm not crazy
is it any wonder I'm sane at all

well I'm so tired of losing
but I got all day to do it

i go out cruising but I've no place to go
and all night to get there

is it any wonder I'm not a criminal
is it any wonder I'm not in jail

too much time on my hands,
it's ticking away with my sanity
it's hard to believe such a calamity

well I'm a jet fuel genius
i can solve the world's problems
without even trying

i have dozens of friends
and the fun never ends
that is as long as I'm buying

is it any wonder i'm not the president
is it any wonder I'm null and void

is it any wonder that i've got
to much time on my hands

Simple Man
DC raw love Mar 2015
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Baby, be a simple kind of man.
Oh won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.


Boy, don't you worry.
You'll find yourself.
Follow your heart,
And nothing else.
You can do this,
If you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

i want to hear what they say
let them do what they do
i only want to help
sometimes help is to far
it's their own business
so let it be
my time will pass
and
i will be free
never remembering no one
for no one cares for me
i hope that i'm wrong
and
there is a few that care
i do understand
they have their own problems
i wish them all love
i want them to understand
i hope they find happiness
so life can be fair
DC raw love Mar 2015
When I walk the city street's
There is so much to see

A culture of it's own
Different city, different cultures

Speak different, eat different, think different
But, yes all the same personalities, a life

Happy faces
Crying faces
Loving Faces

People screaming
People laughing
People hurting

What is life suppose to be actually about
Is it to be about ourselves and loved ones only

Is it to care for
the hungry
the hurting

Do we just ignore situations of others
If your young, their are a few of you that care
Passionate about life, it is a very special quality
your a prodigy

Understand that success is not all about money
It is about being a value which money cannot but

Conclusions
DC raw love Dec 2014
What are conclusions
Is it a place to stop

A place to take a break
or just time to regather our thoughts

Is it being polite not to bore
or is it a way to make a score

Conclusions in life
Can't be put on paper

We have to live them out
Before we go to our grave
DC raw love Feb 2015
Well I don't know why I came here tonight
I got the feeling that something ain't right

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs

It's so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control, I'm all over the place

Well you I started out with nothing
And I'm proud to be a self made man

All my friends, they all come crawling
Slap me on the back and say, please

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see that it makes no sense at all

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor
Cause I don't think that I can take anymore

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

To break these feelings of disappointment

where i can no longer think

losing my soul
as you've clipped my wings

down in a hole
let me put all my stones in place
to cast them upon you
like falling rain

of kicking myself in the teeth
as you fringed upon my life

out of control
as my life goes

with you in it

Knows everything
He will change your ways
To understand why
You'll know no evil
and
Sometimes cry
He will give you true life
So hold your head high
Show him LOVE
Then bow your head
It's all about good
and
Never bad
Love the Almighty
and
Your dreams will be had

DC raw love Jan 2015
As I walk the streets of my neighborhood.

The skys are a dull gray and it's damp and cold.

As I watch over 3 wondering dogs as the cars go by.

I look upon all the houses with curiosity of the life inside.

I come upon an empty house sprawling with life of dull green.

Still very beautiful, there is large oak tree with wild ferns, overgrown shrubs and grass, with a deserted feeling.

I have vision of how the house could be. Filled with feelings and life, parties, fun and games or just a quit night with a women.

If a could only live there and one day I might.

I could bring so much beauty and life to this house.

This doesn't sound much like a poem, pretty boring.

It's not filled with pain, darkness, depression or heart ache.

The point I'm trying to make is don't take the simple things for granted.

Because before you know it life, will pass you by.

Yes, I could give it life.

Whispering words of sin
DC raw love Mar 2015
Thinking back on memory's
Of something I once did
Manly out of curiosity
But only to prove a point

Touche to the ladies
Who I don't quite understand

I've whispered many words to many ladies
Getting the same reaction from most

Yes, I may have been slapped a few times
Yes, I may have been laughed at few times
Yes, I may have been walked away from a few times
Yes, I may have had conversations of curiosity a few times

But the majority of the times they came home with me
Yes I had things gone for me, yet they did not know me

But what I did know that
Whispering words of sin

Attracts them

It could be from something you wished for in a wishing well

My passions that I try to find
Sometimes causes me to lose my mind

Somethings I strive so hard for in life
Which I do alone, because I have no wife

I wonder if a wife is my passion
or is it just one of life's fashions

I hear that a women makes a great man
And great men always have a good women

Is it my passion to be committed to one
or am I happy in life with no one

no one

a life with no true love
a life that is scared of commitment

is my passion to run from love
and to only test the waters

DEATH OF MY MOTHER
DC raw love Nov 2014
we always think
death is unfair
it's time of grieving
full of sorrow
times of darkness
with no tomorrow

never eating
always crying
trying to  be strong
is only wrong

it should always be love
from the times that we shared
she's in a better place
and i will always care

this will take time
i have been there
i lost my mother
and she always cared

I sometimes don't show it
but i'v always cared
she was my mother
and she'll always be there
