This single temptation
Crash the hourglass.
No, my detonation
Course knuckles of brass.
They can shake, quake you,
Until your mind's blurred.
Break you, make your
mind wander the world.
Remember all the times
Our hope got slashed.
But now, you believe it
Comes from that flask.
Breaking what faith
Never did ask, of
You to make me believe
That my hope's be smashed.
Roll of the dice
Never think twice.
Things that wish to entice
My dreams solid as ice.
Futuristic, artistic
Like Nicki's Barbie doll.
Realistic, dualistic
Yeah, prove it to you all.
Lack no impression
I'm left to succession.
Sweeter than I can confess
Won't let anyone, again oppress.
Me and myself
We can obsess.
Now can I freely confess.
Ain't it supernatural
No, I say it national.
No, I'm not collateral
Yeah, I think I'm masterful.
It's such simplicity
Be as one with charity.
Never belonged but busy, for
What He intends, may be too far from easy.
Supernatural
No average rag doll.
From standstill to a crawl
Yeah, I'm super after all.
Remember all the times
The tides came and gone.
But now, we remember
Don't have to suffer all alone.
This single temptation
No quick elimination.
No, it's my detonation
Toxic taste of my flirtation.
They can shake,
quake you in the end,
Can break you, make your
Whole world wake to, all
the poison memories
Of a mother crying "baby,
Rest in peace."
Struggles to achieve
Left in a world only meant to deceive.
Me and myself
No one else left.
To you I must confess
Thru' thick and thin, truly blessed.
This blog is about poetry and lyrics. Life without creation stays at a standstill. So welcome to my rambling. Just a girl trying to reach out and relate to others one stanza at a time. I can't say I'm "great" at anything but when I'm passionate about something I never stop trying. I won't back down because one person says "no", but I'll wait for that one "yes" that will turn my word upside down. What do your instincts say? #RambledInstinctsLive

Depend On Me
This is a test of transferring into lyric writing! I live poetry and just saw that one "Once Upon Forgotten" will be PUBLISHED in a small coffee shop style book called "Stars In Our Hearts" in August and although it might be small it is my first step! So, this piece is about continuing the fight to make anything you desire become a part of your reality. Never stop doubting and never stop trying to accomplish what you desire to do the most!...G-d is good an through him anything is possible. Bless.
Where do I go from here
The journey's all too clear.
Want to risk the fall
All the time, I've got it all.
Listen, all these promises
No one on monotone.
Just try to make me stay, strangled with this microphone.
Another kind of flair
Relying simply all alone.
But saying that I can't will only
Put me on postpone.
Crying high on how, thought
never to play the game.
Electrify, you can't deny
I'm woman for the gain.
Lying never stopped me
From this immortal snare.
Sweet lullabies, now amplify
My halo's golden stare.
Depen on me
No else around.
Fires falling all around.
Depend on me
To see it found
Make your heads spin round and round.
Letting go was always planned
To help me savor bitter ends.
Now I'm going ten for tens.
Wanna make you see
I care.
Bring your eyes
From other there.
Put it down, all you fears
Face your pride, loud and clear.
You can't deny, intensify
Bringing forth, identify.
Cut the edge and face it now
To you, I promise solemn vow.
From the sweat above my brow
Depend on me, someday somehow.
Too soon to be awaken
From all the shit I've taken.
My light I've barely shown
Just wait, I'm gettin' in the zone.
No little stepping stone
Here for good, not alone.
Nicki said the top was lonely
Now I'm climbing' till she know me.
Going in unaware
Thought that no one else could dare.
See the key inside of me
Bringing hearts onto one knee.
Just diving in the deep
Wondering how my heart could keep
From all the miseries
That continue plaguing me.

My Story's Keeper
It's always been one of my life's goals to discover my family's ancestry. I know that while half of my family was in slavery, my mother's side of the family were Native Americans who fled to Scotland/Ireland. The amount of information that I can learn from my grandmother about my family can be found on 4 pieces of semi-faded yellow lined paper; that's it. I just wanna know my history. I wrote this piece as an outreach to the questions I have about searching for the past in order to embrace my future with a more stable foundation and a stronger sense of self confidence.....
Right, here among the trees and as I whisper to the vines.
Hearing all the stories that they keep.
Longing to remember who my people are and why
Wanting just to know the truth I dream.
Hopeful to be learning all the secrets that they hold
Desires to be glad to soon beseech them.
Never shall I turn to where cages keeping me
From all the things I'm meant to be I see them.
And Right here, can't resist
This sudden need to risk.
That right here, takes me to the sun
Breaking morning right here, long
To seek just one, who is a part of right here, hidden by the signs.
I hope to see one day
Still I'd pray.
Just one day,
I'd stay,
right here.
All my life I've dreamed of drifting through the skies.
Free to chance but hopeful just to see.
All my years I've wondered just how I came to be
Wanting to believe that I reach them.
If I could most resist
The touch; ancestors kiss.
But right here, all along the stars
I hear them trailing, out here
Wounded by the sun,
and yet unknowing how here,
I'd love to freely run.
Along we'll be content,
Long to stand,
Know you're gone, no
I'm wrong.
Just a sense
Hold suspense.
Hearts immense
No expense.
Just one day,
right here,
I'd stay.
Cannot fear
I know you're here
Cannot say
Forget you; no way.
Won't regret
Won't withstand
I don't know
How this ends.
Just to find,
what's real,
Right here.
All I hope to finally realize my life
More than just the simple things I see.
Hearing all around me the voices as they speak
Sing the song I longed to dream and seek them.
If I was in the clear
I'd pray to know they're here.
And right here, all alone I stand.
Facing the winds, right here
The true moment,
to stay forever.
Right here, long to understand
The way I feel,
some where,
Could I dare?
Just to find,
What's truly mine,
Hope I may
Could I stay?
Just to spend,
one day,
right here.
Right here among the leaves and wonders left before the sky.
Breathing but the sunshine it may keep.
All along I wondered if I'm meant to be alive
Never known the ancestors I bleed.
If I was to have missed
This longing moments' twist.
But right here, I can feel the sun
Take a moment, right here
All alone but one,
who stays forever.
Right here, just to taste the sun
And where i'll be, won't end
The strength they send.
Won't resist
Won't depend
On my own, No
I won't bend.
How I'd stay
one day,
Right here.
Right, here among the trees and as I whisper to the vines.
Hearing all the stories that they keep.
Longing to remember who my people are and why
Wanting just to know the truth I dream.
Hopeful to be learning all the secrets that they hold
Desires to be glad to soon beseech them.
Never shall I turn to where cages keeping me
From all the things I'm meant to be I see them.
And Right here, can't resist
This sudden need to risk.
That right here, takes me to the sun
Breaking morning right here, long
To seek just one, who is a part of right here, hidden by the signs.
I hope to see one day
Still I'd pray.
Just one day,
I'd stay,
right here.
All my life I've dreamed of drifting through the skies.

I won't bend.
How I'd stay
one day,
Right here.

Ignite
Can't say sorry
Can't fully blame.
That bitter story
Where hope never came.
Take it down
I once could dare.
Talk of the town
An unruly pair.
Once as stars fell
Race me to the top.
I learned not to dwell
On half hopes twice shot.
Lost in my eye
Can no longer disguise.
Thought to comply
But still can't satisfy.
Pacing through this
No love can resist.
Past time wished to reminisce
Shaken, false chance of bliss.
Lost in my eye
I cant deny.
Lost in the sky
Like the fourth of July.
Sink to the bottom line
Drifting from the cloudy skies.
Take back what should be mine
Lead by the light of fireflies.
Thought to comply
But never could satisfy.
Can no longer deny
The things living inside.
Tied within unjust lace
Dying, now love it may bleed.
Tried to find its longing place.
But see, can't defy to succeed.
Can't fully blame.

The Race
But dusk wanes and moon falls.
And sun rays of winter crawls.
Never the same, still trance us all.
I could have it all
Take down these walls
What's our story?
Got to claim what's mine
Staying clear, of
doubt and wonder.
What's in store, left undone
Cant fake it just to make it
Can wait no longer.
'Least I past the test
No time to rest
Try my loudest.
Race me to the town
Awaiting sings, soaring towers.
Bending at the seams; broken means
I build it louder!
A world without them seems
What does it mean?
To break my wonderings?
Dying so sweetly
Never tries
To imitate me.
I was in the dark
This tired heart
Thought I could.
Wounds never found
Glowing skies year round
Breaking down but never bound
And sun rays of winter crawls.
Never the same, still trance us all.
I could have it all
Take down these walls
What's our story?
Got to claim what's mine
Staying clear, of
doubt and wonder.
What's in store, left undone
Cant fake it just to make it

Breaking down but never bound

"Strut"
Don't be something you're not. Be happy with who you are and never back down from a dream, anything is possible...go above and beyond. STRUT. YO. STUFF.
They say I'm a simple dream
Only good for what they believe.
Down, praying on my knees
I'm more then what America sees.
Stuck inside
No end in sight.
Survive on my own
In the daring night.
Fight it alone
My life's delight.
Blinding light
My dreams well in sight.
I'm doing just fine
Givin' all I've got.
Won't talk for talk
Watch me strut my walk!

"Queen by Night"
Racing to the top
Queen of the block
Crank it higher
Battered to the ground
No loss but found
Take my hurt away.
We ain't gonna stop
The ticking clock
Let's get louder.
Hey what's going on?
Let's all get it started.
Let's go crash the bars; crash the walls
Let's all party.
I don't wanna fall
I've risked it all
Doin' it the hard way.
No reason knowing why
As if I could try
Leaving here again.
Starts with a whisper
Live your life.
Stars on the brink
Going bump in the night.
Queen of the block
Crank it higher
Battered to the ground
No loss but found
Take my hurt away.
We ain't gonna stop
The ticking clock
Let's get louder.
Hey what's going on?
Let's all get it started.
Let's go crash the bars; crash the walls
Let's all party.
I don't wanna fall
I've risked it all
Doin' it the hard way.
No reason knowing why
As if I could try
Leaving here again.
Starts with a whisper
Live your life.
Stars on the brink
Going bump in the night.
