Sleeplessly, I begin...

Wrapped in bedding, tight. 

Shedding light. 

I am being ambient...

The setting’s right. 

No Bambi on Ambien...

Or lamb being silent. 

No lecture by Hannibal...

But can be as violent. 

Though only in defense.

In a sense...

The innocence of Bo Peep. 

Still, no sleep. 

An uphill climb to the R.E.M...

And it’s so steep. 

Sheepishly, ...

To be Great is to know men hate your nomenclature.
Put in the time it takes to cultivate your Ronin nature.
Be the CEO of YOU...
Protect your Brand with all you do.
Let go of minor matters...
Hold your own in major.

Nice day for a white wedding?

Empty bedding...never bothered.

Never booked it...clever author?

The best man, yet never offered.

Groomed bachelor...ego altered.

Empty nest...eagle's balder.

Being regal in a tuxedo faltered.

I cry not...yet eyes watered.

Still the rock...yeah Gibraltar.

If she arrives, hello altar!

If she doesn't...hella awkward.

When it comes to a phrase...
I've coined a few.
When it comes to amaze...
I've toyed with you.
When it comes to a broad...
Enjoyed 'em, true.
Whenever I say broad...
I mean "point of view."
Since Marines are Semper Fi...
I joined the crew.
My twin & I are Gemini...
Conjoined, us two.
Women cry & giving grief ...
The loins are blue.
The gym & I, building beef...
Sirloin is due.

We are all one Family.

My Mother is your Mother.

Your Son is my Son...

So, we rely on one another.

If a man's Daughter was in danger...

You morph into a Father from a stranger.

We are all one Family.

As the noose tightens...
On the obtuse titan.
We need dark rhymes...
For dark times...
So, I choose to write them.
As gothic as Gotham.
Like moth-eaten cloth...
This country has gotten so rotten.
History will be repeated...
If the plot is forgotten.
So, be forewarned...
I am forlorn.
My heart is war-torn.
A blunt blissfully twisted...
But I impart this for scorn.
My art is cathartic...

I often ponder time squandered.

Squinted as I gandered.

Aimlessly, I wandered.

Should've sprinted but meandered.

Thought I planned it all.

Nice wages and some land that sprawls.

Not going out like Neanderthals.

I survived the Ice Ages and the Thaws.

Now's the time that I stand or fall.

Born JUNE 21st.

I burst into the Universe in tune with verse.

And utilized youthful eyes...

To view the skies and moon from Earth. 

Was soon immersed in intergalactic tactics...

To extract just what I lack.

With a patient heart...

And the ancient art of attraction to enact it.

My bird's eye view...
Blurred by you.
My 3rd eye, blue.
Not hue...
But my mood. 
I brood for my shrew.
Wouldn't tame ya...
Or blame ya. 
Stayed true to my cool.
Withdrew to my brew. 
A poet, yet stoic
When you needed my fuel. 
Left you all alone
Undisturbed bayou.
A love that once burned...
Now in an urn. 
Our meeting's been adjourned.
Been spurned by you.

Take a gravitational pull on this blunt.

A big hit, no bunt.

Inhale, exhale.

Sit back, don't front.

Feel the brunt of stunted growth.

From one who's grunted oaths...

And hunted ghosts.

The ones who flaunt nonchalance...

Are haunted most.

I have traveled light years...

Between my left and right ears.

So, even when I'm out there...

I'm right here.

In fact, I'm ...

I...
Meditate.

World on a wait list.

Levitate.
Weightless.

Left this Space...
This Time. 

A Timeless Oasis. 

As I awake...
To how fake real life is. 

Dateless.
Love life, lifeless. 

Straight from a kid...
To a midlife crisis?

Am I on schedule?

No trophy wife on a shelf...
Or a pedestal. 

Focus on Self...
'Til health is incredible. 

They say "Love is Blind".

Everything is Everything!

We're the stuff of stars...
Planet & seas.

Now I've planted the seeds...
To open up this can of peas.

Have no fear.

We're under canopies of atmosphere.

So, our atoms have eaves...
On this Atlas, here.

Humanity or manatee.

Still, I feel out of place...
Out of time & out of space.

Wanna pick a place in outer space.

Figure out a route...
And m...

Sunlight and blue skies.

Game's drum tight and tellin' true lies.

I'm Back 2 School and Hot For Teacher!

Got my hand up...

Not high enough to reach her. 

Much worse than a high school crush.

A private smile...

Later a light brush.

Glad I'm black or a brotha might blush.

Gaining knowledge can be quite a rush!

This broad has other classes...

I might join a few.

I hurry up and wait...

And practice patient urgency. 

No worries as I pace.

Relax, it’s an emergency. 

With true love...

I, like a virgin, be.

Always been true...

To fake versions of me.

I know it’s getting late...

But fear it’s too early. 

So, I hurry up and wait.

Life...

The blink of an eye. 

Follow your vision. 

Always be a pupil. 

See the best in others. 

Don't lash out blindly. 

Look through a lens of love. 

Because, in the blink of an eye...

Rough draft of my Obituary.

No eminent death...

Oh bitch, you worry.

A 6ft deep discussion...

Still, my heart beats with percussion.

Tempting fate with no repercussions.

Just keeping the Reaper cussin'.

If you're pissed, I submit this urinalysis...

For your analysis.

Welcome to Wonderland...

In fact, you're in Alice's.

I'm Cheshire Cat.

Blood pressure, flat.

Deep Breathing is the key to Nobility.

A few Oz's of O2...

Refill and feel low key.

Be still to be chill...

A Sea of Tranquility.

Deep end of the gene pool...

Since our gills filled with liquidity.

Now chi is revealed in soliloquy...

My breathing ability achieving Nobility.

Of vivid verses, a virtuoso.

Visual vs. virtual soul.

Virtue & vice versa.

Vicious cycle reversals.

Visceral versions of verbiage...

Vicariously viewed.

Veteran of valiant ventures.

Valedictorian of various venues.

I'm the man to stand with...

If you can withstand my bandwidth?

The spark in this darkness...

So stark in its blandness.

Outlandish as the zen sent through pens I brandish.

If rendered handless...

I'd grow 'em back like a starfish to carve my art on this canvas.

Now starved for some canned fish.

Starkist brand.

Bitch, make me a sandwich!

I'm seeing no sleep.

Nor it's silhouette.

I toss and turn...

Doing pirouettes.

My head sweating...

My pillow wet.

Can one thrive if sleep deprived?

In need of deeper dives...

Into thoughts I strive to keep alive.

Much dread embedded in my bed editorial.

Will I rise again?

Is "fighting sleep" just metaphorical?

The constant battle to let my days en...

A Beautiful Clear Day.
Ethereal Fluorescent Green Hues
Illuminate Jeweled Kaleidoscopes.
Lingering Moments.
Newly Obtained Peace, Quieting Restless Souls.
Triumphantly Utilizing Vibrant Words.
Xeroxing Youthful Zeal.

Nothing to fear but fear itself.
It sneaks up from the rear...
To appear in stealth.
Is it the 11th hour?
Getting near the 12th?
Will even harder times come clear your shelf?
Being a metaphysical being...
I'm always seeing a chance.
Never met a physical being worth peeing my pants.
Not until the music stops am I fleeing the dance.
There's only solid ground found beneath my stance.

Welcome to my home...my domicile.
Maybe only Edgar Allen could Poe'm my style.
Nevermore will metaphors breach prior ages.
Never more clever lore have reached higher stages. 

Yes, rubbish has been published.
And some mavens acquired wages.
They may crow, with their Ravens in wired cages.
Here beats my Tell-Tale Heart. You can tell us apart.

Those in the throes of prose are thus zealous...

Born year of the Dragon.
This is my Dragon's Lair.
Whipping out my Tale...
'Til I meet that Dragonslayer.
No kicking & screaming.
Hell, I'll be draggin' HIM there!
My Heaven's here on Earth.
I imagine it's rare.
A talent to pen, so...
My talons grip pencils.
Propensity to pen witty...
Potential to pen soul.
An indispensable utensil.
It’s been so since ten or so.
You can’t say the des...

As day spills into nightfall...
In love with my pillow, I might fall.
Eyeballs on the ceiling and white wall.
Still in all...
I might go Gyllenhaal and Nightcrawl.
My fist in a tight ball.
Fighting sleep...
Just a slight brawl.
ZzzQuil's make me chill...
Got me high as my flight stalls.
Goodnight y'all.

As the Sun dials down on a cold Post Meridian.
Time seems to slow down...
Like on coasts of the Caribbean.
If we're living on borrowed time...
Does that make it second hand?
Watch as I thicken plots...
Each tick & tock of second hands.
Time, they say, is relative.
We control the brake & the throttle.
Traded a Seiko for Movado...
For the sake of bravado.
The smoothness of Swiss movement.

I once had a bad itch...
Her name was Nikki.
She was the baddest *itch.
The flame lit quickly. 
Her status, hitched. 
So the aim was strictly...
To add a stitch...
To a rich tapestry.
It switched from apathy...
To spellbound.
Once this witch captured me. 
Since already Hell bound...
Submitted to the Rapture, we.
Met at my tabernacle. 
She was my Adam's Apple.
The lump in my throat.....
