Seeming sweet
Yet turning salty
Worlds reversed
A lovely treat
But quite faulty
Something still lurks
Dictionary's anguish
Sunshine's despondence
Aroma's maliase
Once a wish
Choices
Maleek Mayers
Is it one or is it two?
What da hell should I do?
In my head rush all these voices,
For I got too many damn choices...
Once upon a time, love was pure
And the bounding of two lovers overfilled the world
They sat and wished to the Gods that a baby would become
But later down the road after their wish came true
Sick love.
We hold each other.
So sick and tainted.
Our flesh is whole but our souls are rotten,
It's a maggot ridden love.
Our feelings nibble holes through our hearts.
The fight is over.
I’m sinking like a stone before the tide.
The Heroes have gone
The fight is over
But still the beckoned rhythms of your voice call my name.
Bloody carnations, stamped down flat into sizzling concrete;The smell of their demise is sickly sweet.It's caught in my lungs, filling them up as thoughAll the air I now breathe is just tar--
the rainfall drenched the old oak tree
it was late september
i felt it was a sign
and when im with him
and he's listening
but not responding
i took it as a sign too
and then i realized
I do not want you anymore.
Why are you still here?
Clogging up my pores,
clogging up my hairs, follicles, and fears.
You want my tears?
Well, you can't even have those.
