Rules

Tea Party (day 196)

Not another tea party,

tight smiles and sharp corners,

loneliness posing like closing doors on old friends

 

I’ll bring the champagne if it makes people talk

or when I want them to talk I’ll tear off the tablecloth

 

Day after day

they crawl to my gates

Not another apology,

I want you to detonate

not switch on with a purpose

 

The wind can tell you what I mean

Passing all the minefields,

stuck in a heartbeat,

drowned in silence

 

I don’t want another tea party,

tight smiles and sharp corners,

politely posing all my commands as a question

 

Please just walk in and

break all the china.

3 Rules Of Love

Folder: 
Unique Poems

Stress da life // stress da love // stressed // wen all dis stress jus comes to shove // 3 rules of love // respect, trust & us // is dat to much to ask for my love // with out no trust there's no respect & with no respect da love slowly fades // all 3 of these rules u must obey // a niqqa get tired of tellin his girl wat to do // I'm trying to be ur man // not ur father too // love can't last on jus love alone // I'm sorry to say but this truth has been shown // so ima take a break from da stress to focus on skool // & trust me wen I say I'm not trying to be cruel // I jus need time to regain my fuel //& baby u will always be my jewel // so jus try to understand where I'm coming from // becuz my vision is set on da outcome.
