strange days

 strange days 

listen on youtube or here



call me a hollow man  
I'm heading downtown, elegant & burnt  
time is sharply cutting into me,
fulfilling my addiction at an internet lounge

the star of the crowd
the strange things I want to share with you

to watch you dance until the end
pacifying the earth to sleep
so maybe, maybe we can have some alone time together
 
I re-winded  back to the first time I met you  
asking the question, “hello, is it me?”
you said nothing lasts forever,
but I never had a chance in the first place
so I turned back to a bottle & a dream
I guess, it's the norm in these days, these strange days.

strange days are here to stay  
contemplating fast love and repentance
they seem incompatible
everything plus grievances were still under the bed
and time converting me into a man-made nomad without a direction

the idea to un-create you cannot die,
you are after all the origin of original.
so feed my curiosity with strange fruits
serve two as a refreshment in the penthouse
of a stone roadhouse

strange days are to stay so I must leave
I'm going blind while wounds grow older.  
it's spinning webs around the rim of my days
packing memories
and moving on to where you haven't been wanted

I'll give you signs of plans I have for you
I'll starve you with a smile
burn you over a mile  
free you in overtime  
pulverize the pulse  
curb procrastination's
and punctuate the punishment  

I'll fulfill your self-prophecies
I'll promise to be with you forever
I might have a shot at it then
I'll wait for you there
don't disappoint me
it's hard enough as it is
in these strange days

apologies to laly (slowed + reverbed version) listen on youtube or here laly let me explain what happens in my head remembering you I write what I feel, what stirs me & I envy my words  observing them lying neatly on coffin rows in a graveyard of blank lines without feelings  a useless port if not destined to you I wish I was ink, creating letters guiding the words to infiltrate you  track where they go  relate how they touch & make you feel correct them according to your mood swings you see, these words make you smile, content they get to touch you before I do  and I envy them, and it should've been me  I want to explore & live your mind to see how your imagination will play with me it's a far fetched scenario, i know. but i posses random thoughts tailoring my favorite memory with you Into a satin dress gifting it on an anniversary would you still recognize me ? what if i'm senile ? stitching myself with colors matching my genre of dispair s...

outcast v2

  outcast v2  listen on youtube or here    I’m swept aside cradling the residue of sins, derived from the bottom of your lust sewage, I separated them into my fault and yours, it’s your party but I've abducted the graduation cake, adoring the guilt of a cherished mistake. I've custom-made the trimmings with the talent of recklessness & misery's priceless advice. I'm convicted & stable not hated nor loved, not at risk of being deposed or upgraded, just an outcast. watching other fools being played, I reserved a spot from my exile, way up in the nosebleed section a phantom. and concrete lies destines to beget solid twisted outcomes seldom defended by the white elephant in the room I remember that very clear, when I penned myself that outcast you see I belonged feasting on drama scraps off of the unfortunates table until the curtains touches the stage a good-night i budgeted my lungs to 15 cubic feet of air for the climax … and I'm still...

side

 side listen on youtube or here So How do you feel about my ugly out-side? being myself, The fault of an older man wanting you… How would you feel about my seasoned soft-side? decades of feelings aging like fine wine swinging from your soul, Holding a certified copy of lost faith, searching archives for an original backup I didn't anticipate you after so long from any side messages skewed between us, Reaching you deformed, I sent it decades ago written off as lost a callous attempt of itching wants. How would you feel if fate scripted you to touch me? Would you oblige or repulse me? I'm usually the molested one in this feud. Give me your hand I'll show you how to walk all over me risk-free to a comfy place for the night The womb of your mind in my heart observe it like an ancient relic my intentions are delusional when you're around arms held up in a V for a minor victory and a surrender sign for you come closer, I'm different on the inside tell me how you feel com...

semi-green patch v2

  semi-green patch v2 listen on youtube or here    just one of your spectrums I want to see, the soft side forward   as i capture the golden sun in a cold frame while stinging kisses embraces pregnant dreams   between morning dew & night memories   they all gathered at the corner of my eyes a snapshot, but still, tasting acid vows pronounced while taking in the pledge that risk always came dealing with you talking about peace, the olive branch and the price that lies in the soft lining of a casket   tired of waiting for the green light   and which way to go when I reach the bends   at the corner of your promises you promised you promised I could touch you as a favorite flavor burning dreams to keep you warm gazing you as a new attitude   uncovering my bones   sticking around to get this funky high in everything you are   but lovers don’t wait for dreamers like me   just like the sun they hav...

Green eyes push v2

Green eyes push v2 listen on youtube or here     It's summer-time and It's the season to lie to your green eyes I adore the reflection in your pupils looking at me what I know about you when you're not around pushes the strangest things in me the child, the want, the control the hug & the vibes, to give you something to hold, to think about.... greener, fresher things from my memory. You, playing along in the summer breeze the deceit you spin just like me So name me what you want ask how did we get here? Call it what you call it We'll fake it till we make it with late nights & exhausting days as selfish interacting spies we strive, lies are just over flown words, blue prints of feelings Where did it get us?   it's the moments we live in dreams are locked up in the backside So let's not waste any time searching for the truth May I sway with you in the careless rain for now?   lock & load your chest in my face, flaming fingers tense, lay them on my ba...

airwaves v2

  airwaves v2 listen on youtube or here   I walked into it I heard the strummings of the strings I heard the song it was strung from lips to tongues I was caught in the net So is my story now, locked in the vibe. Satan & love came around pimping out their remedy relieving me of your memory, knowing how much I want to forget you but I was alive in the air with my lyrics and I wanted atoms of that airwave, that carried my thoughts of you it's our song that mouths are syncing now Can I have a word with you, sweet love? It's tomorrow from yesterday you're supposed to know me by now this is the day I wrote that song for. I wrote the song for you so play it on a loop, let it ring in my head I might forget you during playback & love the song a backup plan if we misfire Satan is bending backward backtracking what's been done corrupted love is laying the royal carpet and straying away so come and take me; call my name whisk me away, wrap the misery to ...

breach

 breach listen on youtube or here Breach your high walls if you must, but don't fade wearing that black satin dress just ask yourself if you need to waltz if you're in the mood for a swan dance the final act to just do it. everything dies except for those captured rosy kisses vessels of breath departing a natural soul like yours & docking on my face is a fast prescription for blindness somethings are planned, Inspirations & poetry racked up by fools & rookies somethings given on instinct, like myself to you reciprocating a drug-laced kiss the same dose prescribed a long time ago so breach & step closer if it's a moody timed kiss or let me step closer to you if you have that raging come on feeling but you preferred to be incarnated walking the landscapes of my imagination disrupting the scenic flow you had to be the visualized star when i close my eyes a picturesque portrait with-holding the passion withholding it to connect the chapters of us, so, release t...

Is it cruel to be kind?

Is it cruel to be kind? listen on youtube or here it was a beautiful addiction when it began at the eastern wall, I lied   with my spider monkeys   going on 300 weeks so far accumulating new pollution on my side bleeding excess black words I find unnamed meanings untagged, marked in red phrases hit me; I’m bruised & blue some tamed, just come along   walking the green   I’m so color-full. = misery awaits today like a good friend rushing me into the mood to filter my thoughts that   there is no such thing as the world   is enough, to have you is, until I sleep....   = what a lie I’ll meet the creeper wherever I may roam on the flip side of the world to give up the ghost, for I’m not permitted to want just accepting what was given then I’ll be fine again when I go with the flow down below because I prayed that I wanted you to want me   beside you on an angry throne to secure rain when I die to wash me away to the gutters of your eternity... = w...

butchered v2

butchered v2 listen on youtube or here    as signs encrypted my face with answers I couldn't read I came to be here, next to where the clouds parked to shade you, over me open blue skies while the sun burned me waiting ahead of me, the rendezvous with you   between us, the gates of the day shut in my face I'll tell you why I'm like this you see, parts of me were broken around the world here & there, over text or to my face, ghosted or by some new tend & the rest with you, butchered You ran around in my head last week sending me a message: we can get lost together, dip on time, squatter a couple of days slip away further your heart is stalling, though,   I'll take a deep breath and tell you why I'm really here I found a piece of land over yonder, to reign over as my queen I can celebrate just thinking about it taking strolls to a sidewalk cafe we could converse about you, me, or the evening news together I could trespass into your fantacy catching you talkin...
