"I coin a phrase, For me to change, And pay for my sinz…" – m3l0dic
Word around town is,You're doing better now that you aren't being held down by a man drowning,Through glass stained by lipstick worn from a kiss of death hounding my existence...With every sip,I die a little internally while refurbishing my taste for a drip,Of saliva from another's lips,For another trip to a honey moon sweeter than...

Assimilation has never been my style.Quite frankly,I'd rather be what God intended me to be.A man free from labels I was once forced to believe,Would lead me through a path worthwhile.Labels like drunk,Pot head,And,Rich!When all I really was,Was a child who tripped and fell into a ditch,Never to be found again until I rose from...

Mean mugs,A blunt,And,A Yankees fitted.Living in the projects with heat tucked,And,An arm full of bad bitches.Sipping on a 40 ounce of Budweiser,While pitching drugs hoping to climb up from rags to riches...It's what He sees on concourse,Claiming to be King,Bridging the gap between an escape from a con torn,From paradise found in a dollar to...

Everything else is better than sex,Drugs,Alcohol,Whatever gets you high for that matter.Back when they were all I thought about,My reality had shattered.Anytime I looked into a mirror,I was cracked further away from repair,Every second I stared into a man I believed wasn't there,Any longer...Anytime I hear glasses cling,As a sober man nowadays,It's music to my...

This isn't a poem,Nor prose,Nor a monologue,But,A warning.A warning about how good drugs,Of any kind,Make you feel.How downers will lift you up from the sky,Just to drop you deeper into that pool of regret you've decided to swim in.How uppers will force you to crash into the ground,Like molten-red meteors blazing its way into soil...

Let go,Let go,Let go...Why must I do so?Why can't I have one bodily desire that doesn't equate to fool's gold?Desires that wouldn't blind my eyes from the value love brings,Till I'm too broken to pay for sins more than a few know?All I want is a one night stand,Some booze,And,A few rolls of weed until...

An abundance of cheese coagulates after sitting for several minutes and harms your flesh overtime.Blood does so to clog an open wound regardless of how careless we become.Even after death,Rigor-mortis,The warmth in our bodies stay put as each flailing pound of skin goes cold.There's,Something special about the lives we live,What fuels us to move forward...

My first birthday completely sober from any substance!What can I say?I'm grateful for the walk God put me on instead of staying slumped in,A ditch I thought I'd never climb out of after tripping over so many bumps on a road where running is not an option.A road where a slow pace wins the race...

Wind blows by as loud as engines roar on a breezySpring night.Footsteps pound concrete like,Emptied Corona bottles falling on to a ground where roses refuse to grow,Where grass often dies.Palms sway back and forth,Back and forth,Holding on to each other as loose as we close our eyes,When we're forced to hear each other's outcry.Around here,No...

So many questions,So many questions… If you really found Jesus,Then,Why are you still bewitched by sins that still leave you,Breathless?… Isn't He supposed to fill you with,An abundance of love enough to,Squander the plans of He who rules this world of deception? When?Are you supposed to accept God's blessing,Of stillness you are destined for,After opening... Continue Reading →
