Psst, You're Stupid

Everyone needs a best friend.
Someone you can lean over to and say
"Psst, you're stupid." A life friend until
Life's end, enlighten me in only ways you
Can. I still remember meeting you, but that's
Irrelevant, what's prevalent is this friendship
Must be heaven sent. It all started in the
Middle of class, I got the chance to make
You laugh, That laugh was the key to a
Friendship everlast...ing, in passing,
Do you remember that one time at prom,
We danced in circles to a song, the
Music video came on, and I... Well I'm
Still waiting for Rihanna to get out of the tub.
Did I ever tell you that the reason I was
Always in sixth hour early was because,
Slowly but surely, I knew my best friend
Would walk through that door, hug me
Tighter than a little girl clutching a teddy bear
And that's when I realized my best friend
Was this beautiful young woman,
Neither of us know exactly where we're
Going, but we tackle it together, that means
That forever to my soul you will always have A pass, If someone hurts you, I'm the first to
Say "Should I kick his ass?"
When it comes to friends, it's a process,
Progress, the act of unzipping your body,
Pulling out your heart and giving a piece to
Each person. Pieces get smaller, but the Gaps get bigger, they drop like flies, one
Minute they're there, the next you don't even
Remember their names. But I remembered
Your name, I've repeated it so many times,
And when I wasn't quite the man I could've
Been, you held my hand, wore my heart
As a necklace, did I ever say thank you?
In return, I've joined the search for whatever
You lost, we found it and we dusted it off,
You knew humans couldn't fly but that never
Stopped us from taking turns jumping off
The deck and flapping our arms for at least
One second of weightlessness. So here we
Are, I doubt that I tell you much, but I love You, love times two, may I remind you that
Through the darkness I'm beside you, in fact
I'm the one that turned off the light, so Perhaps you can turn it on again, look in
The mirror, see me and say,
"Psst, you're stupid."

Insomniac

Midnight is when my mind swirls like tight curls, darkness brings
Mystery of what were to happen if I simply closed my eyes for one second,
The second time I tried calling on my inner thoughts to lead me in
The right direction until uncertainty was the only passenger left on my train
Of thought, they say insomniacs make for the most complex of minds
But we just want to be able to sleep like you normal people, 1:30 and
I stare at the wall, not so complex at all when the seasons in my mind turn
From summer to fall, throw the ball and I'll swing at your head
Because my depth perception is not quite right, quiet nights turn to screaming
Madness when you close your eyes, there's something wrong with you.
2:50 and you concentrate on the shadow your consciousness casts
On the wall, trying to see your reflection in something unreflective,
Reflect on your life for just a second, the times when you used to be
Able to sleep without a pill, without a hill to roll down to get away from the monster called daylight. 4 o' clock and the near future brings subtle happiness when
The love of your life awakens from her beauty sleep, and when
She sleeps, she is so beautiful but you have yet to meet her in her dreams
So you quietly wonder what's going on in that beautiful mind of hers,
Mine is filled with racing thoughts, straight towards my frontal lobe
Until they crash into my skull with reckless abandon, staircases to nowhere,
My brain is filled with these traps to catch the nightmares if only I could
Close my eyes one more time but it's useless, I might as well watch
The sun rise over the horizon, and there goes my night, the time
Where I can relax, replenish my soul with much needed rest
Like resting in the arms of a loved one and I can't help but wonder,
Is this going to be the rest of my life?

Damn, I Mean

"Have you ever looked at the world and said 'Our society is so wonderful,' damn, I mean pitiful, what's literal, we're not liberal, these cures, they're not medicinal. Society says 'Be yourself...wait, you're doing it all wrong,' because we say 'Be Yourself', damn, I mean be who we want you to be, march in straight lines, see what we program you to see. I am not society, damn, I mean we are not individual, from jeans to straight jackets, life is so temporal. Define 'individual'. 20 million people wore the same thing today and you thought you were different. In society's eye, we're all equal, damn, I mean we'll never be equal, history repeats itself and I'm waiting on the sequel, skin tone, gender, orientation, the upcoming war isn't against terrorists, it's against the people. We treat women like queens, damn, I mean like sex toys for men, damn, I mean little boys, women don't just cook, clean and lay on their backs, they have a voice. Education is prevalent, damn, I mean irrelevant when we're all about the money and we're hell bent to raise hell, set records that no one's recording just so we have a story to tell...but who's listening? Our political system is a democracy, damn, I mean aristocracy, rich people telling me how I feel, damn, I mean we feel, they say they care about the middle class, but it doesn't seem real when they have all the money and never worried about the light bill. This society is so fair, damn, I mean unfair, damn, I mean our death, damn, I mean we write it, damn, I mean do you hear me now, damn, I mean we're killing ourselves, damn, I mean can't we all just get along, damn, I mean...you know what I mean."

24 Hours Pt 1

It's Midnight and I lay here in my bed, my hands roaming over this
Beautiful body in my arms as she lays fast asleep, her head
Placed so delicately on my chest, I can feel her heart beat as it beats
In perfect synchronization with my own, she lays her hand right
Against my body, her way of making sure I'm not leaving her, but
I never planned to.1 AM and we're floating through the clouds
Together, blissful peace we find in each other when the world is
Filled with chaos, she has a hectic sexiness about her, the burning
In my soul tells me that she was always the one, 2 AM and I breathe her in,
My nostrils assaulted with her scent, enough to wake me slightly,
Squeeze her tighter and feel her body dig into me, her breathing so calm
Like her demeanor, she's the sweetness on my tongue, 3 AM and
I fell in love again, I run my hand down her arm, she's since
Turned over and pressed herself into me, I reach her hand and she grabs
Hold of mine, pulls me
Closer toward her beautiful heart, 4 AM and I feel her soul, I savor
The feeling of her bare skin against mine, no barriers to keep us from each
Other, another night of passion shared together, so the scratch
Marks on my back tell our history of love, the look in her eyes
Ingrained in my mind, there's no way I could forget such beauty.
5 AM and I'm awake, the day has to start but I don't want love to end,
I begin to run my fingers over her inked skin, followed by my tongue,
My lips pressed softly against her tender frame, inching along
Her spine, she shivers in ecstasy, love wakes her from
Her sweet slumber, she turns towards me and I see those gorgeous
Eyes once more, I slide my body into hers, my lips softly pressed
Against hers, her lips taste of strawberries and perfection,
Her eyes slow to open again from this moment we just shared,
My hand caresses her face, a smile that tells me all I need to know,
A beautiful good morning flows from her mouth, 6 AM and
I love you.

To Be Continued...
