Dark Talk Continued: This Lover’s Words

This lover’s words were broken words
Of heartless love
Of Sightless desire
Lipless kisses
And voiceless syllables

This lover burned to ashes in flames of passion
The object of objectification
Spent and used and left to lie in this bed of lies

I love you
Or rather
I love the swing of your hips
I love your curves
I love your full laden breasts
I love your bountiful, bubbling butt
I love your thighs
I love your pussy
In all its moist fragrant glory

This lover’s words
Played Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart
Beautifully, visciously, Monstrously
Upon the keys of emotions
Laid bare
To be laid waste to
Meticulously
Obsessively
Compulsively

I Hate You
Or rather
I hate your intelligence
I hate your confidence
I hate your conviction
I hate your wisdom
I hate your truth
I hate your strength
I hate your personification of all my inferiorities

This lover’s words is full of emptiness
This lover’s words are sighs in the wind
This lover’s words are chaff and sand
This lover’s words are loud in its silence
This lover’s words are tainted for you
This lover’s words will ensnare you
This lover’s words are broken
This lover’s words…

Rebel Music


Why they always taking man for fool
It cannot be because we black, right?
Nah man we done fight that fight already
We done walk over all dem dead dead body
So what
Its cause we broke right
Nah man we got one, two, three jobs
One two three bank accounts
Credit card, debit card, paypal
So what, what is it?
Its cause we stupid?
Nah man we gone to pre-school
Primary school
Secondary school
College
University
We got degrees like celcius and Farenheit
Man we bright like light….

So wha de reason
They say our beaches free
But the road have fee
If left gone right
And right left
Wha we gone have leff?
Nothing
Not a dyam thing but a bunch of blind and deaf
Selfish, ignorant and pompous grown ass children

Civilized civilization
More like perfumed
Costumed slaverization
We’ve been emancipated into per annum interests
Given freedom to choose slavery
While we carnival, bacchanalia from church day to church day
Amen?

It makes the conversation sweet you know
Boy tings rough
Boy tings tough
Boy I tired
Boy dem bills
Boy, boy, boy



Boy Come lets pray
Clasp your hands and close your eyes
Complain to god
Tek dem licks
Buy dem new kicks
Make your denied gods rich
Come on
Clasp your hands
Close your eyes
Don’t wiggle
Tek dem licks
Now repeat
Padre nuestro
Que esta en el cielo
Sanctificado sea su nombre

Now click buy now
Place your X here
Sign here

Thine kingdom come
Thy will be done

Turn a blind eye
I said eyes closed
We musnt see when they
Take our lands
Our lives
Our wills
Our common sense
We trusting Google more than people

En el nomine Padre
Y el fille
Y el spiritos santo

What de hell can go so

I aint part and parcel of that bandwagon
I call fire when I see shit to burn
I call lightning when there is ignorance to spurn
I decide my own path
My mind is mine, so is my life
Can you not say the same?
You need to pull up and ask
What game dey playing
Is sweet oblivion sweet so?
You never hear pick sense from nonsense?
You never take stock and listen what day saying?
You sure is in you, you really put your trust in?
You in the car
But who driving?

Who driving?

A man?


Amen.

In The Walk


You can tell you know
Its really not that hard to see
Well for me
But you can tell
You know?
Its in the walk
Its always in the walk
Sometimes in the talk
But the talk can lie
Not so the walk
Here I’ll show you…

Over there, 
with the coloured hair
and the nose in the air
she can’t be heard

ease up a little
make the lady pass
ha her coils keep wrapping
round your eye sight dropping
you lost to the power of her bubbling….



What you say?
Oh that one?
Nah not one
Probably two
Nah she not lost
She just wondering what to do
She probably handling it on her own
Struggling to be a good mother
Hustling on her own

I see you starting to get it
I told you it not hard
When we got to talk
Open your eyes
And just watch the way they walk

Hmmm…ok…tell me about this one
HmmHmm
Ah ha
Hmmmm ok
Well you right about the confidence
That was plain to see
And yes you are right about the recklessness
To that I agree
But you missed that bit of insecurity
But she still pretty young
So you can forgive that easily

No we skipping this one
Because she’s to easy
Pure of heart, optimistic and happy-go-lucky

Now this lady right here
Is a ball of contradiction
Brimming with ambition
But lacking motivation

Ahhh over there
She knows who she is
Why she is
And what she all about
Every action there is purpose
And only sense come out her mouth

Now
This lady
This lady full of grace
Has weathered it all
In time and space
Within her is secreted the seed of wisdom
For she is a tree
Not no flibbetygibbet hurry go bring come
She walks with Time
Although she is tired
She’s regal and poised
And above all the noise
If not for her
Then where would be
That lady is all of us mother
Come let we go walk wit she

Encounter


We met in the club
Neon lights, weed, sweat and smoke
Alcohol in my bloodstream pulsing through my eyesight
The bassline set the rhythm we didn’t need to talk
I grabbed her waist
She pressed back on me
We grinding,
Bumping,
Breathing
My mind was drifting
We rocking
We caressing
Too close
Too hot
Next to the speakers we lost in the moment
And the next moment
And the next moment
And the next moment
And the moment after that

I heard her then
Let’s go
British accent
Mother land body
My vision is blurry
Gripping hands in a hurry
We made our way

The jam continued
In her home
In her foyer
In her living room
In her kitchen
In her bathroom
In her bed
In her satin sheets
Switching positions like gears
Dream catcher legs twist
Smooth like silk and chocolate
Slinks closer like a premonition of a hangover
She bends over
Jiggle her British Afro-Caribbean booty
Begging to be dealt with
She mad wild
Taking totes in the half light
Bob Marley and Mos Def easing out the stereo
Really though
She urging me on
I didn’t need it
She wanted me to abuse her
Like i was a user

A door slammed
Fuck
A man’s voice
I dashed in the bathroom
Footsteps
She laying cool
Silence
Smell of weed and sex
Voices
Soft voices
Soft Tones
Gun shots
Once twice thrice

Silence
Breathing
Footsteps
Door closes

Silence
