Poetry Makes Me

Hey, I'm just a poet. Words pumping warm in my veins like similies. Bones are metaphores. And the rest, the rest hasn't been written yet....

Mic Fiend

I fiend for this poetry  
love to feed my fix as other poets spit
love how their words hypodermic courage
causing other poets to write dope shit 
lost in their linguist 
orgasmic folding rhymes shift schemes like a politicians tongue twist
seasons by experience these word artist illuminate imagery to the extent 
that even blindfolded pallets can see what's being tasted 
sweet similes 
like as is only trumped by the metaphorical mixers
where first sight turns type true love after comparisons meet
enthusiastic euphemisms decomposes ass-backward statements into that "A" sugar sugar sweet
Chris Brown's window-breaking bullshit is converted by inverted hyperbolas 
re branded as a cow's sugar honey iced tea 
spawned thoughts in the rebel's mind secretes secrets onto notebook pages 
converts to memory through recitation 
retrieve stored thoughts by concentration 
negates nervousness without hesitation 
launches truth through larynx ands vibrates as the voice 
of supreme mathematicians 
who simplify "x" factors
resurrecting light in the fractionally utilized minds of blind folks
That's why I'm open to any mic that can withstand a poets spit 
support the depression sometimes invested in this habit 
a mic that's FCCed 
free choice committed 
never afraid of begin pushed to its limits 
the kind that cuts through crowded clubs causing corner conversations o diminish 
whether or not the audience listens
the mic aids until the mission's finished 
like when poetry found me 
a young poet who was 
inspired and educated 
created a quality poet evaluated 
by peers who heard then salutated 
wonder why my presence had been belated 
frustrated over giving compliments that complicated like…
"I'm ji green son"
"Nigga just say thank you damn" 

but they couldn't see me 
fearing arrogance 
or how i paid so much attention 
wondering if the audience was either judging or listening 
to the point that nervousness set in
and I had to st…st…st…st…stop st… st… stuttering 
and m…m…my leg from sh…sh…shakin and shit 

But now i pay homage to some of the local voices that pushed this poet 
and as I'm not one to plagiarize 
understand that parts of this portion has to be quoted

like when Steph-love had me doing the potty dance 
lining having to write right beside having to pee
she animal planeted my passion of the craft to anomalistically marking territory 
as I piss ink onto these pages 
spit spatters the mic when I speak 
might even youtube me a few fans
willing to be R Kellyed by my poetry 
cause I courted poetry with Mrs. Jay's love 
writing poem after poem after poem after poem after poem 
till my hands went numb
followed that with a bended knee proposal 
Jay word's third rock from the thumb
so high I hallucinates dreams
of my last name on poetry 
after she checked the yes no maybe
saying she'd go with me 
our matrimony stays infinite 
like the knowledge that exudes from excaliber's cards
Poetry Correata to my king 
with a dream 
where we bedazzles defeated thinkers dropping jewels like falling stars 
 a dream where poetry and my love is deeper… 
than any metaphor that God Child spits 
like how even the simplistic stages of relationship 
have you like damn i could think of no shit like this 
like that strange fruit kinda love 
two tongues root-twisted in a french kiss 
tired of hangin my love on the corner like some trick 
so I'm gonna use this audience as my witness
peep this 
poetry 
I love love you 
will you marry me? 
she said yes yall!!!!
