Time

I waste time thinking about wasting time... Time measured by man-made construct for something which is out of our comprehension. Time cannot be contained by mere hours and seconds. Time is measured in moments and the importance of those moments can make a one-second glance seem like a lifetime.. it can make weeks, months, melt away in a blur of mundane sadness.

Waiting Game (Poetry Prompt) 10/18

I've been waiting through the seasons Arid sun and summer rains Now an autumn chill has fallen Yet the leaves are all that's changed I myself am falling Like brown leaves from golden manes Drifting back and forth Your indecision still sways the same.. Feeling anxious all through winter For an end to this waiting game

Queen Flow (written to "J cole Type Beat - Morning Sun")

I think that I could poet since the time I could write Like my rhymes mightta come straight  out  the cervix tight I claimed them like my birthmarks, call it my birthright The only thing my daddy's genes seem to ever do right Stuck between the retrospect and 20/20 hindsight Third eye blinked cause it got blinded by the limelight I'm like dust mites you caught drifting through beams of spotlights Searching for answers in shadows Better get your mind right Maybe you should keep your heart left Cause the second he walked out your life That was just the first step Don't let them come knocking If they ain't coming correct Don't give immortal words  When they're not understanding rhetoric It's pathetic how they still expecting us Queens To give up head on our knees Without learning bout the mind underneath Please! It's not worth the momentary release Half the time it comes without the reciprocities So goddess be weary and don't give up the crown If he d

Fishnet Solace

I do not define myself by my restless nights I know I'm about as sacred as my holy tights When these hoes run And there's no one left to chase them Soft spaces between thighs become safe haven So I rock these ripped stockings Thinking Santa can one day save them for me Fill them with treats and cliches of good memories To replace the empty spaces peeking through my frayed accessories And the tragedy of last night's predictable trajectories

Rising in Love

I don't know why People refer to being in love as falling... I was steady on the rise when we met And I haven't descended yet Instead I got you and the sky reacquainted - rs.darko

Andy

I know I don't really miss you I just miss having someone to belong to Like a lost toy, dropped and forgotten With the batteries fallen out I'm not completely broken You just never took the time To try and figure me out - rs.darko

Red Flags

I know we've all been here before We've all seen the red flags Blaringly taboo But he's so sweet, and we're so cute together So how could this be bad? "Baby," "babe," "bae," "boo" Of course these couldn't be names to make a pet out of you No that can't be true There is a closeness between us already that I can see We've only been talking for about a week And he just can't seem to keep his hands off me Probably cause we had sex that one night So now he can't help it but expect it, but it's all right It feels fine, and I feel fine I guess, yeah, I'm his now and he's mine That's good, right? That means I'm sexy That means he wants me I do love having someone next to me Even if we aren't talking... I think maybe he's just that kind of guy Maybe he just gets a little bit shy Yeah and maybe one day you'll realize That the word "excuses"

Clay Poem

This clay is not left to the hands of gods, Only to the hands of our idle thoughts.. The openness that allows for our spirits to be taught Because worth cannot be bought, only achieved, And I'm not stopping at my dreams.. You see, we precious gems are far too fine to be as spent As we've been feeling Digging down to the bottom of our last couple cents, And yet the only thing we're stealing Is your attention and your intent Call me heaven sent, but I'm no angel I don't need a filter nor a special angle for our gazes to become entangled Still I crave more than just your perception I want to feel acceptance and exception Embrace me as your tribe, and tell me that you like the way we vibe That I'm not like all the others you strung along just for the ride Taste my words like you've been starving Feel your initials in the wooden heart you've been carving Because you're more than just a carpenter And I'm more than just a

Diced pineapples Rick Ross adaptation

He said shorty so fine, pussy so fresh Diced pineapples Let my baby taste the best I nearly lost my mind Guess it was a test Swept me off my feet Don't need no diamonds round my neck I gotta pocket full of cash I ain't living check to check Miss independent I ain't nothing like your ex Pussy's excellent and I know it sound a mess But he know how to make my toes curl Licking on my flesh, mm Sex all night couple shots of Ciroc Not the girl next door But I'm that bitch up the block If money ain't a thing Then baby let's go hit the mall Diced pineapples Tasty when he eat it raw Bitch so bad Got ya wishing you could meet me Rumors say there ain't no wrong way you could eat a Reese's Double cup dreams You know them other dudes fell off Baby boy I just wanna see you well off *Chorus* Shorty so fine, pussy so fresh Diced pineapples Every bite juicy and wet I know some nights be getting wild I ain't never getting rest Stil

Wait

I would wait one hundred winters for the first spring our life together could bloom - rs.darko

Heartbreak Roulette

When you left me, you left me in darkness So much so that the sun was doomed to perish, The moon to lose its luster, And all the strength I could muster Was tied up behind the horse and carriage Of a fairy tale ending that never happened Saddened, My tears carved canyons into my bedrock Left me jagged with this stepping razor tongue And words like bullets to keep my pen cocked - rs.darko

Perennial

I knew it would be harder to open up again For fear my petals would fall away One by one Like tears, Like days.. They stopped feeling precious So I grew restless, Shaking them off even further Now bare and broken Scared To open up again I could never imagine Someone would care Enough to actually listen.. But you touch me like a warm summer day Flooding my pores with comforting rays Soaking into my outstretched Chlorophylled tips Telling me it's my choice to go or stay "But please don't leave.." Pleading Not to fall away from love completely The way school kids drag their feet After a long game of baseball in the street Still they come back every afternoon by three Warmed up and ready To play again It's so easy for us to jump into these games of pretend Thinking love is the answer When really you just need a friend Someone you can talk to who makes you feel like you can be open And not in a way that is scary, Nor overbearing
