Toxic Ride

A toxic ride some would say

But why does it bring about such clarity

Or relax you so much

Maybe it's the constant giggling

Or maybe the increase of an appetite

That just might be enough to hang them all

So, Mary, I'd just like to say

Thanks for being there through it all.

Toy Soldier

How is it that

A battery pack in da back

Of another man

From his brother, man

To do dirt

Something to brag about

When doubt sets in

And blood runs thin

Whose to blame for that?

When crack packs

And H sacks

Fill da hood

And smokin' a pound

Is the only thing that feels good

Whose to blame for that?

When stares

Become dares

And gun smoke

Fills the air

Whose to blame for that?

When innocence is lost

And vengeance sets in

We'll find out

Whose the real toy soldier in the end.

Way To Life

Somehow my heart is in my throat

And when I try to swallow I choke

My stomach is in knots

And my legs won't stop

Even when I tell them to

How does a man deal with this heightened level of sensitiveness

Cry or lie about it

Run or deal with it

Die or fly with it

Either way long as you try

There's no right or wrong way to life.

What Ifs

I observe from a distance

Patiently waiting for the chance to approach

Neglectfully forgetting

To cut the rope connecting me to all else

What else could exist

Besides what’s here now

Some how I have to lead myself to believe you care

When it’s clear you don’t

I won’t waste another second

Another moment

Pondering what ifs.

~Knockamechee Pharoh~

What Is

If I could change something, I would change nothing

For that's the beauty of life

I can smell you

See you

Feel you even when you are gone

So that’s what I'll use to move on

Not for better

Not for worse

But in order to break the curse

God gives to all what is needed to survive

Among the list is truth over lies

So I hope you are able to see between the lines

And understand what is truly divine.

When I Go Home

Tell them about me when I go home

Tell them how I could have never done this on my own

Tell them about the things I stood for

Tell them about my downfalls

So that they may learn through it all

Tell them that if I could change something

I would change nothing

Tell them how I love them more than life

So that they may understand my sacrifice

Tell them about me when I go home

Tell them how I could have never done this on my own.

WILL YOU MARRY ME?

WILL YOU MARRY ME FOR BETTER OR WORSE?

WILL YOU COME TO MY AID AND QUENCH MY THIRST?

WILL YOU LOVE ME BEYOND DEATH?

WILL YOU UNDERSTAND MY LAST BREATH?

WILL YOU GROW OLD WITH ME?

WILL YOU TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WATCH US GROW?

CAN I ALWAYS DEPEND ON YOU?

WILL YOU BE THE ONE THAT GUIDES ME THROUGH?

I CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE BEST

AND KNOW THIS IS JUST A TEST

FOR LOVE IS A QUEST

MOST DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO POSSESS IT IN IT'S ENTIRETY

I HAVE SEEN MANY THINGS

BUT NO THIS, I AM NOTHING WITHOUT MY QUEEN

WILL YOU JUMP OFF THE CLIFF?

OR STAND THERE STIFF?

I WILL ALWAYS KNOW THE TRUTH

BUT HOW LONG SHALL I WAIT FOR YOU?

MONTHS, YEARS, LIFETIMES AT A TIME?

NO MATTER, NO RUSH, I CAN'T RUN OUT OF TIME

BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IS MINE

GOD HAS SHOWN ME THIS TIME AFTER TIME

SO WILL YOU MARRY ME, FOR BETTER OR WORSE?

WILL YOU COME TO MY AID AND QUENCH MY THIRST?

Woman: Queen Over All

Is it true that He took a rib from me to make you?

Is it true that without you there could be no me?

Then that would make us one in the same

So why are we on two different planes?

Could it be that you are complexity and simplicity at the same time?

Or how you age and get better with time

Not at all to be compared to wine

But divine like when two spirits are intertwined

A dime, a mere understatement to you

But beat for so long you don't even recognize you

You are woman, queen over all, that is you, woman.

Greed

I have committed the ultimate act of greed

As I proceed to place myself inside of her

Warm guilt embraces the outer level

Moist drippings remind me

That once all men have lived in this place of familiarity

Gentle moans taunt my ego

Stroking it to believe

It is perfect in it’s imperfection

Neglectful despite

For an equal

But one sided life may be the drive behind some of histories most revered queens

I’ve seen this gift and curse

Be both a giver and taker of life

But without this

There would be no life

I have committed the ultimate act of greed

As I proceed to place myself inside of her.
