Still Running
By LIMITLESS
Frustrated sitting in the residence
of patience pacing back and forth
in my mind trying to find the pace
of time, I’m exhausted,
can’t pause…
it,
this world spins, the wind sends
change–
I just gotta catch my breath–
I just gotta catch this breeze….
DILEMMA
by LIMITLESS
What do we do?
Do we choose to lose this friendship for a potential love forever after,
or do we risk pain-
we may never come to this place again;
Torn from remaining friends, we walk away from each others hurt feelings
never again speaking,
or,
Do we venture into this wondrous bliss;
should we enlist this forbidden kiss,
or do we stay-
silent….
What do we do?
Girl,
I’m ask’n-
You…?
PILLOW TALK
by LIMITLESS
The vision in front of me opens;
it’s division when I spread your
legs to make an incision, you’re
grab’n the pillow when entry is
given; oh, how I love to listen to
your muffled screams of ecstasy,
pillow talk’n, passionately I grab
for your hair thrusting harder as
you declare I’m almost there,
“I’m coming,
I’m coming”,
I am coming undone
as juices drip down your
legs and tingles run up your spine
you’re so fine I can’t wait till the
next time you ask me to rewind
this night, “baby can you help me
unwind”, my reply,”only if you tell
me who’s does this treasure
belong too?” “Tell me that your
soft carmel skin is all mine for the
taste’n”; I know I’m up to the task
as I confidently ask you to do one
thing when I make your body
sing…;
“All I want, is to hear you–
scream for me”….
They Never Saw Me….
by LIMITLESS
They never saw me!!!
They never saw me when I tried to fit in, camouflaging myself to blend with them,
but,
they never saw me.
They never saw me tearing inside, too young to understand the value of Self virtue, I guess I was too wounded from beating myself up,
“WHY DON’T YOU STAND-UP FOR YOURSELF”, Self would say on the daily.
They never saw me when I put on my best, face, laughing outside numb underneath.
They never saw me struggling to find joy in the midst of being an emotional toy–
get’n played with on the regular.
They never saw me turn a pillow into a roaring river;
They never counted one of my one hundred tears,
They never helped me figure out why I felt the urge to paint the wall with my own brain matter, calling it quits cause I didn’t think I mattered.
They never cared to see beyond what they wanted me to be!
They didn’t see the walls I built to shield my damaged psyche as they thought their jokes where funny– I hated being the punchline, “hahaha, he looks like______”;
“I’m fine” was my daily lie-n, they never saw, so I left them blind.
They never saw the pain from being made to feel shameful about being me.
They never saw my insecurities just the front’s I put up; pretending to be friendly when really I wanted to cut them deeper than I was hurting saying nothing to keep from bursting.
They didn’t see how the goofy clown I portrayed to be was just to contain the rage behind bars quite in a cage- silent but deadly.
They never saw how Jesus Christ saved my life more than once, living recklessly a life under the influence of liquor and blunts.
They never saw how My God brought me out of all this darkness into the bosom of his dear son.
But they will see me as I rise out of this mental pit they left me in.
They will see me as I bravely let my light shine without fear as I announce, “despite all your malicious tactics–
I’M STILL HERE”…..
FRACTURED
by LIMITLESS
I hold on to the dream of a King;
dreaming of a world-wide accord,
people actually striving together to reach the finish-line at the same-time;
if we all walked with one mind disagreements would become hard to find
walking with eye’s open,
wide is the view as we push through hatred, bigotry, and racism
finally able to see we all bleed the same scarlet shade,
so why can’t we be sista’s and brotha’s?
I guess we missed the memo:
“this just in we all stem from the same origin”,
so why can’t we be kin?
is it because of the color of our skin or are we just too fractured with-in
unable to call each other brethren “human race” broken and separate I guess when it comes to
world peace I’m somewhat of a skeptic
GOD HELP US ALL….
A Double Minded Conversation
by LIMITLESS
Why?!
Why do I hide who I am?
Am I afraid,
that if I show my true self exposing my souls wealth I might get robbed of all dignity
and honor
Why when Self & I talk it sounds like a barter;
Self & I involved in a give and take debate leaving
Me to mediate:
Self: “ YOU KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE, SO SHOW IT”
I: “if I show all, I may fall in front of everyone, my fear has become”-
Self: “ BONDAGE, to You and Me, COME ON”
I: “I JUST WANT TO BE FREE; that’s what I told Me”
Self: “BUT HE AGREED WITH my-Self.”
I: “I can’t deny the truth Self, but”
Self: “What! that’s not enough?” “I’m tired of feeling crushed. I WANT YOU OUT.”
I: “I WANNA GET OUT, of my shell hidden no longer, that’s the only way WE will get stronger.”
Self: “Finally we agree…!”
A TRIP THROUGH DREAMLAND
by LIMITLESS
Closer and closer to my vision hung up in eye sight like a poster
Closer to gripping my thoughts sipping on lessons taught
Time is well spent when I drip oceans of creativity locking arms with divinity
Closer and closer to my dreams no longer resisting me
I remove the dross wiping the dust off of my desires
My heart is lit
The fire sits in soul burning
Intense
Until mind is consumed with words that burst from mouth painting a masterpiece
Drawing nigh to eye the reality where I truly exist….
BLUE
by LIMITLESS
Blue,
Clear as a Caribbean pool,
Our usual shade is fifty one shades from grey
I gotta say we need more day sky to get us to the,
Blue,
Visually lusting after my vision, purpose driven,
The pattern of my life I’m fix’n.
The heart of soul points its affections towards sky,
Blue,
You and I can fly when we set eye’s beyond starlight that’s why we fight for our,
Blue,
Two walking with one mind-
Too finally find pure skies,
Blue…..
REMEMBRANCE
by LIMITLESS
Thinking back, linking photographic memories to still picture,
tracks,
remembering the smiles of loved one’s departed from sight;
(ha)
I even miss the fights, the disagreements, & the laughter that followed after pride was swallowed.
I remember my Elders through the wisdom they gave me; I remember my Elders through their words,
they live on,
for their care fashioned me strong.
I must go on pushing through the pain,
I have to go along with the plan that took you out of hand and into arms,
Heavenly.
I can’t wait to hear your stories
again;
I wish I paid more attention to them when you where before me
not realizing their value I erred thinking they bored me
I hope you have forgiven my youthful foolishness
I wish I could’ve done more then this;
wanting to show my appreciation I will live-
in your words
you exist,
still!
taking your correction
your wisdom muscle still flex’n
to my friends I’m professing your words
such a blessing
knowing your watchful eye is still glaring, your voice still blares your cultured catch phrases:
“BOY YOU CRAZY”,
“SAUSAGE, boy get out the way”,
&
“SHUCKY DUCKY, QUACK, QUACK”
I catch the tears that attempt to call you back hearing your words to keep me on track;
you tell me to stay focused, the more you loosen your grip on the past the tighter you can take hold of your future present’s
“you can’t put new wine in old wine skin’s”
“you live your life”
“We’ll be here always,
waiting,
resting,
in your remembrance”….
Eternal Desire
by LIMITLESS
How should I proceed?
Shall I weed out this weakness,
this fading bliss which grows from ignorance into substance, rather than faded wish’s,
imagination lands on the mind as soft as true loves kisses;
my vision for this life is paradise.
I find the breeze of this vanishing dream cold when played in memory, awaking to a forcefully imposed reality.
Knowing this is all temporary;
The eye’s of my soul still remain hungry, desiring to see My…,
…home…
The origin of time where only spirits roam…..
