Symmetry

Listen carefully what I'm about to say

There’s seven billion complexities running around

Not one of them hits high degrees of fascination

Quite like you

Verily my affection for you will become the death of me

There’s tall towers collapsing in my ribcage

My heart is on its last legs

My tangled feet found freedom but my fingers are fester and fragile

I'm a hot solid ball of indifference, a field of work

But your fetishing on a failed opportunist that’s fragile

Don’t touch me, I’m too dangerous to fall in love with

I admire the novels you've in your eyes

I'm curious to wonder through the renaissance of your mind

What a coincidence we share similar likes and dislikes

Even though we’re far removed from age

From religion, from walks of life

My love life is a burning mosque, it’s a holy mess

You just happen to be the most intriguing soul I’ve come across lately

Lately people enter and exit out of my life like it’s nothing

My energy is so precious and the energy you exude is comforting

Listen

I don’t want to exercise chances, sell you a dream

Let you in on my premises

Save some expensive time and delete me from your conscious

You can never understand me I'm skin deep

Relationships are not a sport, I'm not in a rush or competing for image

You’re soo nice, possibly could attract soo many

The sky is open for you but as for me

I'm a working formula

Battling laziness to get to where I need to get too

See everyone is out for themselves and at the moment I'm selfish

I don’t want you because the time says I can’t accommodate you

Listen

Please don’t take this the wrong way

My friend zone isn't a neglection, it’s a reflection of who I can trust

All our generation cares about is lust

Friend zone is not the end of the world

And you deserve all the happiness in the world

Was it on twitter that we met?

I'm happy just being on my own

Working to figure this all out on my own

You’re actually the perfect person but the timing is wrong

Symbolizing a later stage in my life where I want to be with the mentality I’m on

Scared of Beautiful/ Drunk in Poetry Part 2

In the name of Poetry

Can I Shakespeare in your ear until you shed a tear?

It’s dumb waiting for perfection

When these moments could be timeless

You’re a lover and an insomniac

I can smell it when I look at you

Is there another side of you?

Leaking from a corner or down to the bone

I want to know your flaws and your fears

And what keeps you up at night

And the colour of your soul as it emerges with mine

You are the enigma that makes perfect sense to me

I’m about to crack the code to understanding you

I keep turning the numbers on your heart in hopes of finding

The perfect combination but I got

Too impatient so I used an axe instead

I want you to know you can pour your pain in me

Whenever you feel the weather is against you

I want you to know I’m here to stay as long as you want me to

If my words can get you aroused

Imagine what my hands can do?

Tell me why are you so afraid of falling?

Do you know in my two hands accommodates the world?

World of romance, I’m like a Greek god

I find poetry in the way your lips lock with mine

I find poetry in the way you walk like you’re so assertive of the destiny

That lies ahead of you

I find poetry in the chaos you’ve been caught up in

I could sit here for 700 years just with you in silence

There is no hesitation in my mind,

You’re the valentine I’ve wished so long to find

Maybe I’m just overwhelmed by this

But maybe I’m not

I’m not really a poet, but there’s a poet that lives inside of me

With soo much love to give to you

Lion's Ambition

Nobody knows my struggle

I juggle universes in my palms

My iris is packed with sorrows for my tomorrows

My lungs are as black as death; my heart is as hot as a phoenix

I hold fists of hope and hustle with a lion’s ambition

I wish my faith was golden, the devil is a diamond

When I dig out my past, all I see is sins disguised as crystals

I only have two options, to roar or to run

I could stun beauty and spark a lightning connection with miracle watts

Magnet to a manmade mask of materialism

I’m losing Dickens by the minute

I’m Simba and Mufasa intertwined in one

Just penetrated literature, produced poetry, a baby

The chosen one

Young soul in a strange world

Finding jigsaws, solving puzzles

I can barely crack a smile, too Makaveli for pain

If your mind was written, how painful would your pages be?

I’m from the western, born to learn and earn

Burn a few bridges, time throws away temporary forevers

Quantum physics couldn’t tell you about my life

Strategically I have set to shock the status quo

Mathematically I’m doomed in this white man’s world

The wolves lead the sheeps; I’m a lion in the jungle

To drown in perseverance is what I need

Itinerant and scuttling in a situationship

808s and heartbreak, I’m too Kanye for a relationship

Destiny is stepping out of line, my days are clearly not fine wine

It feels like I’m living in my last adventure

I wrestle clouds every night, my confidence fell down a flight of stairs

I’m a man that died twenty years ago resting inside the soul of a soldier

With an eagle eye for success

And a lion’s ambition

Soulful Voyages - Jhene Aiko Poem

I have journeyed the continent in search of something to freeze & ease me

When thoughts persevere to kill me, that voice recuperates me

Inspires me to place my flames in a bottle

I have dived into your music a thousand times

It’s my Mary Jane to my everyday pain

To be specific, you’re a Pacific, Sailing Souls

I could drown in your musical ocean and feel your emotion

Whenever I Sail out, I reach out for your waves to take me Higher

We could never Grow Apart like the sand & the seashore

Your music is my seaweed, soon the globe will see your seaworthy

Perhaps fall in love and you’ll take off like a seaplane

A diamond in a well, I’m high off your zeal

Your petite eyes are a hip hop bridge where lyrical angels dwell

A dynamite about to blow, don’t let them dim your glow

Stroll on the seawalk, Souled Out

Jhene Aiko 

My Love For You

I feel like you’re accusing of cheating with this fleeting reality

My life is a handful hook

Clinging onto educational mazes & social love

This tight tangible rope is testimonial to the theatrical joy

We’ve ever felt

Your linguistic eyes make me melt

You’re all I’ve ever wanted

And subsequently keep me sturdy

When I’m with you I feel a rush of passionate warmest

When I’m with you I feel heaven even though this life is hell

My immortal thoughts during doldrums stroll towards you

What would I do without you?

Long before I saw metaphors submerged in mountains

Or dreamt of wondrous whimsical worlds

I was all alone in the mundane playing field

Like an unimaginative Poet

Beauty is you

You dress, act and feel like it

I’m aware our connection has wandered off into a powerless performance

But the tiger of your tongue

And luxurious language can flatter the audience

We’re both afraid because things are touching grey

Even though, we’ve been destined for Gold

I love you from infinity and back

My love for you is soo deep it would make the ocean envy

My love for you Poetry, is a continuous universe

He is the last of the dying breed; he has spat out his pride.

Swollen his ego

Ripped out his heart and placed it on paper

A sun storm struck the gentle ground

Nostalgia eats away the flesh with the could’ve beens, should’ve beens, would’ve beens

Grey gloomy gust gazing at this gorgeous girl

Exploding inside, bursting with words to say

Loathing at anyone who will capture her before me

Ambivalence and anxiety holding me back saying

Don’t do it, don’t say how you feel

I’m not speaking in circles when I say I want you

But I can’t have you, even though I want you

I hate the idea of someone else having you

It’s like a thunderstorm pulsating my heart

Leaving me burnt apart

To me

You’re a nirvana, a chocolate Madonna

I don’t want no other Belle donna

I have spun my mind around yours in hope

Of transcending your perception of me

Maybe my passionate web isn’t enough for you

And I’m not good enough for you

Torturing myself over the fact I can’t have you

I like you soo much it hurts

I’ll rip the butterflies out of my goddamn stomach if that’s what it takes to forget you

My ego is swollen and my confidence is bleeding

Seven is my weakness

Six is you &me and how we will never be

One was all I ever wanted

One kiss from one girl

This girl

One relationship

The possibility of never finding a soul similar to yours

Burns my soul

Maybe I’m taking it a bridge too far

But I’m bored of basics, I live for the spectacular

I know you bury your sorrows in your laughter

You think deeply and don’t share much after

You hide in your shell and trust yourself

Because you can’t wrestle love, don’t want the psychedelic

And your eyes speak voluptuous vocabulary

I like you soo much it hurts

Seven is my weakness

This is not a Pinocchio

This gets my waterworks

Like a watershed

Everything watered down

IFHY - I Fucking Hate You

I’m undergoing, showing weakness

Deep dark voices uttering commit suicide

'' Do it, Do it ''

But this is your fault

You blew it, blew it

We had something soo promising and precious

Your lofty alter ego sledgehammered it

Ruined it, are you happy now?

Something that seemed soo perfect

Disseminated, washed

You brainwashed me, caused me

To succumb to your misleading ways

I’m internally broken down

Weeping in my dynasty, feeling gloomy

Grouse, grumpy

Gruelling, talking gibberish

Generally gutted, but I’m guiltless

My gusto, my guy sold me a lie

I’m gullible and grasping for air

Trying to figure it out

Stressed out

Depressed

How can love be soo erotic but make me feel psychotic?

Reality has burnt me alive

Reality is about to drive

Me

To the edge of the earth

I thought I was your golden goddess

I fucking hate you

After everything we’ve been through

You had to break the ice

And have your cake but eat it twice

My heart and mind are tearing each other into pieces

Simple soul with disintegrated pieces

You want it, you had it and you lost it

Well good luck

I used to be babeless and fearless

And had soo much happiness

But look what you’ve made me become

I’m looking at my inner errors and fighting mirrors

Losing myself and hating myself

Hurting myself and blaming myself

I haven’t slept as of late and I can’t think straight

Procrastination is my daily excite and I haven’t got no appetite

Look what you’ve made me become

I fucking hate you

My life is a mess; you’re a loch ness monster

I always thought I could trust you and I had you

There was something in you that I saw

Love is a holy war, you tore my fucking confidence

Told me to drop a few pounds or we won’t last a few rounds

Told me to desert my friends, I was playing pointless pretends

Told me to wear this and that, I felt like a fat cat

I nearly gave up everything to be with you

Just to please you

And you never once appreciated it

I fucking hate you

You haven’t got a clue, all the misery you’re put me through

I got a lion in my heart, I’m lying

I got flamethrowers that can spew your heavenly organs

But I’m not as pernicious

I’m more marvellous and generous

Conscious to conscious, skin to skin

I’m stuck with your soul tie, explicitly from within

Years may run by, but mentally you’ll find me

How do I get rid of something that’s inside me?

I fucking hate you

But love you really….
