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….

Sex with a Famous Poet

Mind blown

Heaven dwells on your luscious lips

As soon as you walked into this room

You put my heart in handcuffs, cardiac arrest

You seem to have the powers to bring luminosity to my darkest hours

One magic wand and my world could be superly sexy

In the back of my mind, we’ve dated a thousand times

In the ancient times

In the past life, ask fate

Destiny is you & me and you have a date

You can put diamonds around my neck

Give me the best chocolates in the world

In an open roof Aston Martin

But that won’t arouse my inner vibrations

As much as being read sincere poetic metaphors

In a foudroyant tree house, encircled by woods

Forests, lakes

White swans and white tigers

And your mesmeric mesmerizing

Hypnotizing deep dark voice

Sounds like

A stiff pen masturbating over dope rhymes

Bombs are like beautiful people

And you constantly do nothing but blow me away

You’re every girl’s fantasy, reality, ecstasy

They say love is another form of insanity

And heaven knows I’m crazy about you

So toss me against the wall like a bag

Aggressively kiss all the roads around my neck

Run your fingers down my collarbones

Do it softly and gently

Handle me like you’re handling your PlayStation controller

But fuck me like you’re riding a Mexican bull

We don’t need linen sheets & red roses that go up the stairs

We can make love in the kitchen

On the sink, on the dining table

On top of the work top

Just undress my conscience

Strip my thoughts off naked

Leave love bites on my innocent nipples

I’m in Paris with your eyes

Kiss me until we reach a century

Whilst I undo your trousers

'' Oh my God, is that your colossal cucumber '' !!!

You hairy horny, cocky corny

Sexy piece of art

Mind blown

I want to hide inside every shiver

That sends Goosebumps erupting in your thighs

Leave wet tattooed kisses on your thighs

You’re angelic and aristocratic

They’re soo many fishes in the sea, but you’re better than these piranhas

I want to eat out your lasagnes

Make you scream LOUD, Talk that talk, that’s rated R

Like roaring rihannas

Let’s have sex and call it Iconic Art

Your moaning musicals is Mozart to me

Bring your ear near, so I can Shakespeare

A pair of explosive whispers

I’m your dirty Duffy, your amazing Armitage

Your lively Wilde

After these metaphors have penetrated into your divine soul

You shall give birth to our daughter

Name her, Poetry

Mind blown

Born Sinner

Nothing’s ventured, nothing’s gained

Nothing feels right in this infinite world

This life is a strict teacher

Everyday i turn the page in this examination

Am i here for material possessions or spiritual virtues?

Or to hide behind a metaphor, what am i here for?

Half way out of my mind, half of me is malicious

Vicious life, harsh life

Half of the kids on this troubled estate

Are baby daddies, yolo dons, college fuckups

A black blossoming flower raised in dirt diamond dirt

Grew up in insanity, struggled in poverty

With no dough to show, felt depraved and low

It’s a dog eat dog world, I keep digging myself into a horrible hole

Fell in love with a whore, a broad

And I couldn’t afford, temporary pleasures

She was a rough rider, i was a sensual kisser

I made power trips to see her, which were an arm and a leg

Distance was a bitch, but I knew she had that golden glow

To drag dark stones that were submerged in my crooked smile

I keep securing my spot with the devil

The devil is intelligent

Bad sweet sins feel soo good

But yet soo wrong

I’ve got to repent a marathon, that’s soo long

But what’s the point if I’m going to do it again

I guess I’m just a born sinner

My home was hell, fell down 7 times down the stairs

My alcoholic abusive step father

Slashed, whipped and beat me

Strangled, fought to kill me

At times i felt like God didn’t like me

My sweet sins were not roses, i saw myself as twisted thorns

My real dad died in a car crash

I was soul shattered, soo lost and soo gone

A black blossoming flower, raised in dirt diamond dirt

I hated the night time because destructive thoughts

Would haunt me and torment me

In all directions, trouble followed me

Left, right and centre

The demons in my psyche wanted me dead

The hood put a lucrative price on my head

Girly ghosts under my bleeding bed were my imaginary friends

The silence would whisper tortuous pain

And all my life i was infatuated with shining lust

Thinking it was eternal love

Broke promises, broke hearts

Slept with many, trusted none

Sold some bricks, brought some ice

Told sweet nothings, handed over some dreams

Walked with regret in my pocket

My surface, solid, hard as a rock

But deep down in my valley i was dying a thousand deaths

Deep down in my heart, I’m a fighter

Released the pen’s pain like a writer

Self hate ran through me, so I burnt myself with a lighter

 I keep securing my spot with the devil

The devil is intelligent

Bad sweet sins feel soo good

But yet soo wrong

I’ve got to repent a marathon, that’s soo long

But what’s the point if I’m going to do it again

I guess I’m just a born sinner

At times i felt to runaway but where would i run to?

Boxed in the land of the snakes

Friendship fakes, family fakes

And all i had was poetry

Only she knows what’s right for me

She was there for me, when no one else was there for me

Been through soo much at a young age

And she was there to soak in the words on the page

I guess I’m just twisted thorns repenting for ravishing roses

I guess I’m just a born sinner
