Feeling Restless-Rest Us

Gospel

I don't cry no more..

So don't cry when I don't reply.

The streets,

my home,

and my people-

The love ones I call

Family- have left me cold.

Have let me down

(have taken my halo; broken it into two)

and have left me the frown.

So I've turned them down,

down towards the drugs and booze

to darken my mind.

Hell...

I could no longer mind my mind

because my dreams were no longer mine,

and the tobacco has helped with the blackening of my soul.

So-

Soul?

Are you with me God?

My spirit is divine,

but my innocence is no longer

Mine

My

Ra

Mayra

My Goddess

No Egyptian,

but better.

My Nayarit Maya.

I gave my heart to Ya

And you fucked it up

Yea

And Yet, I yet to continue your Worship...

War and Ships

But you?

Dropped bombs of ecstasy, faith, and hope

straight down from my inner space.

Any time the ground rattled, shook, and marveled;

Your touch took me to the

                                                         N

                                                 O

                                           O

M

But where are you now?

But you should be the ONE

that should be

?uestioning me

because I couldn't make up my

mind and where I stood,

So I left you far behind.

That’s All that I know.

Oh how I don't cry

with the exception of you

and those Butterscotch Sonic Green

EYES.

My Dear,

do you remember

when you told me

I was you SIN?

But I told you,

I was SiNCERE.

My Dear,

I don't cry no more,

and that's my sin.

Sincerely,

Yours.

This is a heat storm, bro. My goodness.

"I could no longer mind my mind
because my dreams were no longer mine"

^ This, and what you did with the layout of M O O N, among other things.

Felt this, too- I relate to it. She might never, ever leave your thoughts for good. Solid, man.

Awe thank you brother, I'm glad you dig it man and could relate. That's all I want.
What did you think of this metaphor, "(have taken my halo; broken it into two)
and have left me the frown.
So I've turned them down[.]"

[Asante]

(have taken my halo; snapped it in two)
and have left me the frown.
So I've turned them down,

Say that aloud, bro. If you wanted to play with sound, that could be a dope little alteration, but I like the original 'cos it's a clean message of having your innocence stripped from you, without being so straightforward that it doesn't fit, y'know? I'm digging it either way.

[Coyote Poetry]

Wonderful use of words. You made the reader believe your words and your thoughts. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

I really enjoy the ending of this. It hits deep. I enjoy your writing! And the layout of it is phenomenal. :)

[BBP]

As always, I enjoyed it. Such a combo of beauty and street. My favorite kind of writing, the soul of a poet the tongue of the street.

Nice write holmes.

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Mrs. Powers, I'm glad that you had enjoyed it.

[shockandawe]

I feel resentment, regret, and, despair in this poem. It seems you have a soft spot for that one person here but not even they can pull a tear from your eye.

[sinNsincerity]

I used to feel those thing, but not anymore. I had to tap into that energy though to rekindle the memories...

[Davidgeo]

Damn... this is the best thing I've read on this site in months. If not the best then at least the most personally relatable and to me that counts for just as much.
