“Temptation”

She’s a contortionist, an avid abortionist

Many judge her and find her abhorrent

Yet, many women pirate her style more than a torrent

She’s an evil genius with indifferent intentions

An intellectual with impressive credentials

A sexual creature, a hypocrite when she spews lectures

She says, “Do as I say, not as I do”

Is she confused or is she amused by playing these dudes?

Not a gold-digger, she stacks her own money

Is she a model or is she a playboy bunny?

I never figured it out, but that’s none of my business

I’m the only one that survived her hit-list

Now we’re friends, and it’s interesting to sit back and witness---

Poor delusional fools falling for sexual favors

Sure, we had our encounters, but I never thought to tame her

Monogamy is blasphemy to her earlobes

She’s seduced businessmen, artists, and weirdoes

She says she’s well protected, she doesn’t jeopardize her health

But, I’m debating temptation as she reaches for my belt

“Illuminated”

Freedom of speech

Ignore the demons that preach
The semen that reached beneath the surface
Must turn this birth into a purpose
Convert from the circus
Desert the serpent
Emerge from the furnace
Remove all curtains
A clear view, a clear path
Left the wrath in the rear view
If you’re a sheep, they try to shear you
If you’re a wolf they might fear you
If they don’t, strike twice so they hear you
Make ends meet in the deep end
Monday thru Sunday, no such thing as a weekend
Fight the good fight against the bad guys
No retreat until one of us flat-lines
The wasteland is illuminated by flashlights
The energy is siphoned by the powers that be
Cowardly attack from the sky and comfortably attack from the sea
FDA approved to reduce the health of society
They feed us contaminated and ruined facts
Protect Ya Neck, but there’s no need for aluminum hats
9/11, Sandy Hook, Michael Jackson
JFK, CERN, blood sacrifices for satisfaction
Rituals by rich people dressed as gods and goddesses
Same people calling the shots and making false promises

“Infatuation”

Spotted you from across the room as I consumed

Is it the poison that enhances your allure?

Or is it pure? I had to find out for sure

Steady steps in your direction

Instincts persuading me to pursue a connection

Never felt this nervous when thinking about the opposite sex

What do they call you and by what are you impressed?

What are your habits and would you answer if I called you collect?

I want to put you in a movie that I fully direct – and co-star in

Play you like guitar strings, I’m not trying to be charming

Not your ordinary duo, together we’re misfits

I could lose myself for the rest of this existence

You’re worth every second

 I would trade in this life of living reckless without question

You’re my lover, my therapist and my best friend

My ambition to overcome dead-ends

Before I get ahead of myself would you care to conversate?

I know the thoughts are real, I’m still in a conscious state

Reassuring jargon, I’m sure you’re a target to most

I’m sure you’re approached by gross, ill-mannered folk

I’m different, my intentions are not merely physical

Want to make you laugh, cry and feel miserable

Your beauty’s overwhelming, need to find out if your mind is similar

We can indulge like crickets in the night

And have a picket fence that ain’t white  

“24/7”

Fearless encounters, dealing with outbursts

Life’s a 24/7 job that’ll never be outsourced

Layers reveal the pain and the healing

Home is where the heart is and it has no ceiling

The wilderness is peaceful

But, people try to burn the wilderness down with diesel

Don’t claim to know the secret, but if I did I would keep it

No leaking, deep in the game, never been seen in the bleachers

A wordsmith with the urge to be purchased

Nothing’s what it seems on the surface

First and foremost no cutting corners

Face facts, everyone’s ancestors were foreigners

Indigenous state of mind wherever I choose to recline

Life’s a 24/7 job I refuse to resign 

“Stress Reliever”

Stress reliever, confessions can make you a believer

The clock’s persistent and leaves no time for a breather

A few yards away from the goal-line

I’m a writer, not a fighter

I have a lighter side, but if you test then you’re playing with fire

Hair blowing in the wind against the tension

Dwelling on the ability for ascension

Transformation through many phases

Awaiting to finally experience stasis

I could be contentious in my convictions

Positive affirmations can make truth of predictions

I can only offer blood, sweat and tears

Either you’re conquered by or you conquer your fears

A revival of literary and musical recital

Just started to learn to stay away from false idols

The battle may have resulted in victory

But, war won’t cease until one side experiences misery

Even though not a participant, one must acknowledge

Many forms of distress; geography, beliefs and economics

Many perspectives on what defines an under or overachiever

Still searching for the stress reliever 

“Truth/Doubt”

The truth is clouded with doubt, no exceptions to any account

Consumed with the pursuit of renown, fruits of the crown

Many swim in the sea without knowing they’ve drowned

Umbilical cord, a miracle grows

Flea temptation for spiritual growth

Always under oath even when thunder roars

Participate in no rituals, it’s like I’m on barbiturates

Sedated from certain festivals

Yet recognize every aspect like eating meat and vegetables

The arena is crowed, but no one is applauding

The grass is greener on the other side if you allow it

The possibilities are endless, I’m life’s apprentice

Money isn’t the only thing appreciated for services rendered

Furnish the temple with genuine thoughts

And learn to let go of irrelevant props

Like enemas, rid myself of the feces

I guess I have the same philosophy of Greenpeace 

“Double Agent”

The end of the tunnel is dark, so I turn and tread really far

The outcome is profound and the sound as beautiful as a harp

Carpe diem for now, the town is covered in frowns

The goal is to turn them around with no pressure to be bound

No compromising the bond, no right or wrong

Just here to realize that I’m here until your spirit is gone

Insomnia is love and hated, the rabbit hole can also be elevated

Both angels and demons roam the earth, but are in agreement

Mankind is a free man, free will is offered to both the noble and heathens

Happiness is a concept that must be offered to every prospect

An agent of many faculties without the allowance of casualties

Yet know that I have no control over catastrophes

The pulse of the people is equal, without knowing if there’s a sequel

When shielded nothing is lethal, laugh in the face of the grim reaper

"Obliged"

I’m obliged to un-cage the tiger

Live amongst saints and liars, going in circles like dryers

Yet I admire the universe, uniforms and unicorns

It’s a reality impossible to ignore

Even when outsmarted find a way to even the score

Still, I level up until the brain cells are fully grown

Use to be controlled like drones, flipped like phones

Fighting voodoo until I’m nothing but skull and bones

Humility comes to those that dwell on scenarios alone

No outside influence, behaviors I don’t condone

I won’t be prone to assumptions by skeptics

Combat the evil that try to end life like contraceptives
