What are my poems like? Like a slow song when the words escape my lips im singing the lyrics to the melody of silence oh how that sounds like beautiful music to me the kind that makes you wanna close your eyes and snap your fingers to the beat each syllable splits the silence so precisely like a knife each night I write and pour out my soul onto the piles of paper until the pages are soaked and wet with ink that represents me and my bucket of expression is still filled to the brink What are my poems like? like a weapon because life and death are in the power of the tounge so my weapon has the ability to level skyscrapers and eliminate villains and I can use it to protect and avenge innocents like children look at the words of each one and see myself like a reflection in a blade each is another monster I've slayed and can always call upon it when I need to be brave What are my poems like? Like roses all of a sudden ink starts to smell like flowers when the aroma hits our noses for me its a nice change of scenery to actually talk about tenderness and love instead of hearing about making it people keep taking my intention and mistaking it I don't do this to gain the admiration of women but simply to voice my opinion so before you start hatin relax before you try to charge my credibility card for extra like tax What are my poems like? Like a hiding spot and don't confuse it with a shield this function is not to protect myself its for when Im feeling weak willed 'and cant admit my wrongs so I turn away and try to make it sound right but no matter how much I try truth is attracted to the light What are my poems like? like mind control when I say cry you will cry it pulls the emotion from your mind and make you dig deeper like a coal mine look into my eyes as I hypnotize you and send your emotions into a stir with my words as I go to such lengths like yards and miles just to hear the laughs and see the smiles What are my poems like? like a magnifying glass for me to better understand the human condition not all poets are shrinks I know potheads that write beautiful poetry contrary to what you may think so after all that's been said here today the question is put forward What are my poems like? What aren't they like?
