    Not Quite Enough [Bipolar And LedgenZ]

    Not Quite Enough
    Written by; Bipolar And LedgenZ

    these eyes pray
    religiously her
    beauty has become
    a synagogue.
    the very breath
    she breathes, god's
    two-lung monologue.
    what would make
    an angel deny wings?
    what would make
    an angel be bound
    by such earthly things?
    what will make her sing?
    I’ve noted the perfect
    pitch of her in passing.
    but she has no hits and
    it's a wonder.
    someone has convinced
    brilliance it is crazy.
    but, how else can a
    miracle be defined?
    in sane, out of mind.
    your loose dangling
    demons do not threaten
    me, I’ve been divinity's
    puppet for as long as
    my cells remember.
    and my cells re-
    member!
    so much of, not quite
    enough. that is the
    sincerity of her love.
    humility has caught
    me staring. vision begs
    to be turned on. lead
    me gently into all you
    don't see, have I got a
    sight for you.
    she wants to leave me
    for death. I am so damn
    jealous of anyone offering
    to bring rest, so I show
    her how he sleeps with
    everyone else. we sit
    in cemeteries of silence,
    I point out what he
    keeps private. there
    are many who visit
    with tears. there are many
    who haven't had visitors
    in years. I know she digs,
    company, though often
    graved in crowds of lonely.
    I am only, in her audience
    tonight. shine those stars
    bright. remove the lid
    of your head-box contents,
    we'll sort out the universe.
    we'll give splendor a
    worthy name. I think
    yours works.

    so much of, not quite
    enough. you are
    infinity's love.

    Goddess or angel,
    golden threads of hair.
    Inside a shining heart-
    is she scared?
    To live eternally,
    with infinity.
    Your loved ones
    will be resting in peace.
    Living a perfect world
    is it worth these words
    when 'living forever',
    brings worthless hurt.
    Seeing your seed being born,
    growing up and dying;
    you're torn;
    Because you accepted the scorn.
    Now you're warned,
    use your head,
    everybody is for sure to be dead...
    in the end,
    forever is much too long-
    especially when everyone is gone.
    You're right but wrong,
    only since,
    you didn't think through this-
    using common sense.
    Everyone that has ever loved,
    everyone that has a lost love.
    Has wanted what you desire,
    but it'll burn within you like a wildfire.
    I know I don't exceed expectations,
    but I can let you breathe-
    with short yet sweet relations.
    Your eyes read illustrations,
    but misunderstand...
    the way life was always meant to have an end,
    because the afterlife is the best part,
    my friend.
    Would you like to toss that away-
    again and again?
    You're like a sea,
    always beautiful;
    no matter the date.
    The way your curves
    are just like the smoothest waves,
    and eyes so blue like the oceans base.
    It'd be a shame to let it all float to waste,
    eternity would only bring you more heart break.
    And think about the scars you may make.
    You wouldn't die,
    so suicide would only be failed attempts.
    Happiness is what I forever promise,
    heaven is something you'll want accomplished.
    There are the flaws of death,
    but nonetheless-
    infinity is flawed by it's emotionless.
    Either way, it's not quite enough-
    she can't choose which she loves.

    well ledge had a solid verse, I think I've read some of his before actually. I thought it was dope then and its still good, I love the wordplay, you are really becoming a master of that. Everything was on point and was enjoyable the whole way. The ending was great, really easy and made it's point well.

    bipolar on the other hand has some work to do. You're getting better but still not at the level where you're able to juxtapose a writer like ledge. I think you need to read more poetry, like actually read poets that have famous work out. Try Whitman, Neruda, and Ginsberg. All of these poets have great language and use flawless diction. Get your mind out there, don't wait until your brain runs dry, use your thirst for knowledge and find words+ideas that you never knew existed. I liked some of your lines, like the sea line, that was simple yet it worked. A lot of your imagery wasn't on point and fell short of anything enthralling. Keep at it though, hopefully your efforts are not in vain.

    Thanks man, this was a new style he wanted me to try in pursuit of meshing with the format style he used. So it was a bit edgy for me. But word, thanks Sharp.

    whoever went first, guessing ledge - I liked it, it was nice; but i've become prone to reading your other structure type. this was, well - choppy somewhat just due to structure. but the meaning still remained as strong as before. all in all i liked it, strong voice.

    second verse... - bell, your far better at poetry than open mic; for starters. BUT, you need to learn more about punctuation... its fucking up the whole thing for me. just one minor error threw me off for a good 7-8 lines. just pesky. anyways, you're alright - but you got to realize what its gonna take to elevate, and what you have to do inorder to be called a 'good poet'. i mean, you're OK. I say this EVERY piece you write, but you still haven't reached that 'next' level of people just waltzing in your thread and saying.. 'DAMN' or 'WHOA'.. feel me? like sharp said, read more peices... that'll help you now more than anything.. it'll more than likely inspire you to write something good...

    but yeah, nice collab...

    don't thank me kid, just go fucking read the poets I named. I don't give a fuck about accolades, I'm actually trying to give you some pointers and lead you onto something that will help you out immensely. READ Walt Whitman, Pablo Neruda, And Allen Ginsberg! I AM COMMANDING YOU WITH MY POETIC MOD POWERS TO DO IT. Here, I'll make it easy for you.
