Off Season

sometimes i want to be gentle
apply a slight friction see if i can kindle
a spark and not a blazing fire
take my dubious intent
into retire..ment
i don't always want to be so aggressive
don't mean to be obsessive
compulsive
take the ball and run with it
fly off the handle for no reason
because even storms have an off season
winds in at 90 miles per hour
coming through to devour
everything in my path
take a dynamite and blast
what was built to last
eager to grasp
some small piece
of a state of being
called "peace"
put your mind and soul at ease
be a summer breeze
nuture you like spring
be that one thing
that you find most pleasing
because even storms have an off season
i don't always want to be the rain
pounding at your window pane
diaster
calamity
choas
debris
clouding your vision so that you can't see
my simple complexities
or complex simplicities
excite
you
when i
ignite
your sense with
intricate
word play and conversation
have your mind taken
a sabbatical
a quest to find the unknown
be it misdemeanor or high treason
because even storms have an off season
so when the winds don't blow
and the floods don't flow
when rains don't rain
or beat on your window pane
and you no longer feel the need
to flee
just know there is a reason
because even storms have an off season

Loss for Words

Losing ground and can't get out
Screaming in my own head getting loud
Desperate, and still in crevices in my subconscious
Lay a grueling pain and sounds of it lingered on my brain
Cries from the past now silenced
And still I search for some hope of solace
But alas there is none to find
So the ghosts of my youth dance through my mind
Why couldn't  you share that part of who you were
I loved you more than your confessions could EVER deter
Now I stand at your grave
Trying to wrap my mind around the news I got today
Scanning with my minds eyes
To locate the place I went awry
Though I want to be angry I can not

Randomness

I have everything to say and nothing at all
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Why is our country in such horrible state
And who came up with the Harlem shake
Does Kanye have ANY class
Is ANYONE concerned about the weapons of mass
Destruction
I'snt justice
Itself and obstruction
If we are to teach
REACH
The next generation
Who saves US from world domination
Where has the school system gone
Raise your hands if you never "snapped"
Like serena done
Why does music soumd like it was salvaged from the recycling bin
Tell me when
This chaos ends
They say what goes around
Must come around again
So tell me when
We will L-O-V-E again
And I mean the love that's genuine
Why do Covergirl and botox represent beauty
How does you bank account make you better than me
Don't get me wrong i carry no degree yet
So who am I to take seriously
These are just the rantings of a
Loving daughter and smart woman
Why are we looking to one MAN to change
Hundreds of years of mistakes
Meanwhile the earth is ravaged disease and earthquakes
Diaster and catastrophe everywhere we turn
Yet we won't turn
To the "ONE" with ALL power in His hands
HE is trying to get our attention
HE is looking to someone to take a stand
Will you stand
Will you
Or how about you
Until we do
We will continue
To
Go
Through
When I picked up my pen
I didn't know which direction I was going
But now there's no turning back
What will you do
When terrorist attack
Part two
I know what time it is
Do you
I have everything to say and nothing at all
The bigger they are the harder they fall

Love's Lesson

Enough of all this bashing me
I figured I'd step out of my silence, time for me to speak
Everything I do
Was not meant to
Degrade, demoralize, or heartbreak you
The TRUE me is a light
That shines in your night
Love's not a curse, but a blessing
So it's time that you learned that lesson
