I am too bold the obsession of our seperation
A child torn from childhood shattered hourglass
In her eyes I see myself swinging from a limb
Her words tying the noose and the smiles pull it tight
She would have me gasping goodbyes spittle laced
Bullet hot fingers tracing the blown out blue veins
Dopesick for her cracked lips I would lick them clean of venom
But she is too bold for such infatuation
She would rather pick the lock
The cage in my chest where  it quietly rests
One yellow eye open fangs glimmer scarlet hues
Her neck hangs back in laughter
Nape porcelaind frail statuesque
She would snap my fingers
Like a branch and I would laugh
At pain syringed and sterile
Alcohol stained breath
I think you've  found the sweet spot
Hot barrel to my temple
Do me one last favor
Release me from this tabernacle
Facing the Gorgon

ancient sized big-beautiful-Butterflies,
shredding my tiny chest, opening my most precious
insides to the warm-wet-world ---
they're flying out of me, wings fluttering
as fast as it takes a star to sprinkle the earth with light
they're dust sprinkling my own body with passion --

Suddenly, a black-eyed-vulture swoops down
from a tear-filled cloud and vacuums the butterflies
into his rotted-wrinkled mouth , disliking their taste ,
spits them out onto the cracked pavement and the
pretty insects are soon squashed by a child's bicycle
leaving only a smear of their guts on the syringed littered sidewalk.

Did it,rue it,had it,blew it,
don't do dope.
Home alone,****** at home.home and ******,unhomed alone,
hypodermically syringed,unhinged and whinging all the time,no hope.
Don't do dope.
It's so uncool,so old school and only fools act like a fool,
you think that you're okay and you can cope,but you can't.so
don't do dope.
I did and found it very hard to stop,found you can't get fixed in a one stop shop but
I found hope,
found I didn't need that dope
I'm still a dope though.

fury
of the lion:
golden warpath garland
thundering soul set forth by roar
sovereign savanna rex, pride in plain sight
majesty unkempt like his mane
heavy the head that wears
the primal crown...
fury

vision
of the eagle:
corneal coronas
scorch earth from soaring apexes
taloned streaks of lightning tear assunder
the prey of a thousand yard stare
she is a feathered seer
perched in a nest
vision

venom
of the viper:
his husk made of mica
syringed fangs apportion wisdom
slithering past Achilles' heel to heart
from perceptive directions hissed
strait tongues fork in the road
coursing in vein
venom

They linger outside my room I hear them exhale
as the paint peels like snow flakes falling slowly
to the floor. Its only wood mahogany it think,
"nice, cost enough. I heard them mauling the
surface cleaving at different points as if a weakness
was to give way.

They bait me to see if I would gaze upon the shadows
that linger just past the door... I touch one with my
finger seething discomfort carries over my skin.
Murmurs sing lullabies at the corner of the hinges
they seem to get hotter with every tone that settles down.
I cant seem to contemplate its words, but it sings.

I look around my sheltered room, the windows are just
a look out to nothingness, I am like a flower in need of
sunlight to blossom.  but I am withered I'm suffocating
with my own deliberation. Have you heard the same
thought repeated in angles you never realized were
possible, every word deconstructed and syringed within.


Do you realize that a room even though with its formed
angles becomes nothing but a blur, patterns in writings
that migrate along my sight of vision. I'm a mine canary
trapped in a cage, and my only escape is the wishful thinking
of when will this gas seep within and silence my yearnings.
But I still breath, they mould the features of my prison in whispers.

I throw my features in random rotations to find even a
fissure that will be a keyhole to my eventual releasing.
But where my essence tries to evacuate they burn my
sanity and I scream in oscillating repetition and they just
seem to think nothing of my afflictions. I am a prisoner
within their walls. I will consume them when they fall.

Taunting hours
Tachycardiac rhythm
semiotic desire and
lavish confluxes
displaced thought in
sauntered meadows
the willows wrath
symphonically martyred
perused softly
reverberating slowly
malignant design
syringed emotions
evoking morose

Hear the sonorous whimpers of faded dragons
groaning the last breath gasps of fallen might
and from extinct inglorious days
hear now the bitter last hurrays' of the ******
in acrimony they wail like a coeliac new born
tis the dampened pained roars of wounded beasts
tis the infused grumblings of cantankerous old codgers
tis the frustrated drivels of angst ridden underachievers
tis the mad morbid utterances of daggle of caged psychopaths
tis the snivelling moronic backchats of a hackle of prized cowards
tis pent-up furies and irate emotional disparages of unsatisfied wives
tis the hot latent lamentations of morose taciturn misery-guts
tis the narcissistic forage of the despoiled academician
whose diseased beast within syringed narco-fixes
in the noises of  hallowed codswallops
tis the dumb mutterings of idiots
tis the inane jabbering runts
tis the anodyne venting
of ghouls and ghosts
the wailing noises
of cultists coerced
and chained in
rebellious
hope
Yo i step into suckas like hammer mc
Bars lovely none above thee fantastically
See me stretching out the kitties
No pity to those who lay in the inner cities
Immunities damaging my community
Black man equals a gat plan demands
Broken from a hidden reprimand
Hands shaking begins a quaking taking
In. All the misery spread love to enemies
Perfect the catastrophe suckas blast at me
But I'll still live eternally watch the fire burn
Suckas loose turn once my rhymes churn
On the microphone lessons begin to learn
Syringed ya brain deadly injected cringe
Binged by the lyrical darts born in the dark
Aiyo once I exit the earth place im replaced
Back up in a woman's belly safe wait
Its a tunnel of light prepared to fight the might
Got my nerves tight cannibis visions
Steel layin' provisions cuz suckas ain't listening
Winds whistlin' move like blades of glass stenciling
Over the Earth's
Paintin' a message withing a message
Viking Savage kin to havoc evils lavish
Lash out the gashes slave masters
We coming after before the rapture capture
Souls colossal rock em into fossils
From the pain that touches like a jostle
Hostile baritone smooth jones on the microphone
Even made the devils step off his throne
I'm feelin' my self guarded my wealth
By twelve queens beautiful cousines sings
Me lullabies as time flies open my forth eyes
Dimension traveler wisdom unraveler
My styles be slicker than a  salamander commander
In the chief heads hanging like a Christ reef
Brought the pans out since suckas want beef
Cooking hooking mad shakes no booking
Central broke the glow cuz of the exquisite dough
Suckas know not to step to this deadly blow
Since hells below can't balance the flows
Gravity weighin' negativity petty pretty
chaos throws nothing but loss floss
Off of the baddest beats three forty fours
blastin' Til my verses fully complete







Aiyo ghost pass me the toast to roast
A fake host smoke the most Snoop coast
Throwing up the dub stand for wins
While others floating in the winds sins
Makes for the deadliest pins religion
Be in my pen inks my Messiah
Let my mind vibrate higher shy dryer
never let it grow cold out for the scold
In with the old back to basics lets face it
**** got a lace it let the smoke retrace it
Sky high all goodie with the mobs bobs
From me rocking this like Nas genesis
First to finishes relentless got em defenseless
Can't match up
Against A1 business craft the sauce
James Brown protege so it  paid me to be a boss
70s hippie though I was born in the 80s
In the back of ambulance Mercedes
Mind's a mercenary pierce the unready
Walking dead look how many heads is fed
Feeding off a vultures instinct
Scared to blink cuz they might sink
in the ground with no water around clowns
be joking but no smiles when the smokes in
Cashed ya cemetery lottos ain't no tomorrow
When ya Die today this is mayday for doomsday
Let the bass take me away when I say
What I wanna say pack the ocean sprays
no delays sitting like predator preys
Lazer eye ya sty patch ya like Rick's socket
The last of the Moor prophets so stop it
You can't insult a demi-god going against odds
Im Moses at the mountains holding the rods
Ten commandments with sticky bandits
Home alone was a kid smoking grown
Most postal than Malone step into the zone
War killin' clones original Jim Jones stones
Over ya capers vapors
Often erase once the seriousness gives taste
Copperhead shootin' venomous waste
Take a step back rebound off my stacks
Twin macks Alex and chad causin' deep impact
Yo i step into suckas like hammer mc
Bars lovely none above thee fantastically
See me stretching out the kitties
No pity to those who lay in the inner cities
Immunities damaging my community
Black man equals a gat plan demands
Broken from a hidden reprimand
Hands shaking begins a quaking taking
In. All the misery spread love to enemies
Perfect the catastrophe suckas blast at me
But I'll still live eternally watch the fire burn
Suckas loose turn once my rhymes churn
On the microphone lessons begin to learn
Syringed ya brain deadly injected cringe
Binged by the lyrical darts born in the dark
Aiyo once I exit the earth place im replaced
Back up in a woman's belly safe wait
Its a tunnel of light prepared to fight the might
Got my nerves tight cannibis visions
Steel layin' provisions cuz suckas ain't listening
