    Footsteps to Follow In (emotional)

    I wake up and shake the cobwebs, where am I? who am I?
    drowning myself in booze although I usually choose the high
    when stressed my tools confess of mind, big vessels in my eyes
    so I see through torture, only pride is my mortar and pestel grind
    threatened on the defensive line, waiting for my pension to arrive
    pondering if it's out of the question for an extension on my prime
    Drenched in sweat and grime..knucles worn of dynomite
    father told me avoid black holes and died. boy, that was fine advice
    mother was only my soil..despite humble prayers, no sunlight spared
    plotted me a spot to grow in, then fucking upped and disappeared
    stranded I scanned for cover, fell into the hands of grandmother
    whos love burned black like ashes, she slapped off my slapstick
    when I stubbornly wanted candy, a reward of ham sandwich
    when i was drunk off brandy, went to town with a fast switch
    shook me to my roots, and all i could muster was messy blessings
    to the soul controller holding me down, some real co-dependence
    I thought that's my core and my pedestal
    ...though she really getting old
    she wore red lipstick at her funeral to cover lips like silver bows
    I wore an overshirt and slippers, a bold smirk and a quiver
    and for the photo shoot pictures I controlled an overworked liver
    Smouldering with malice, cornered in a foreign palace
    Alone, myself, just I, screaming my sadness to the chasms
    Heart pump callused...jump start my mind but find it padded
    my kind is savage..self-seperating antics fueled by panic
    dispensing with the sensitive cuz motives crude as sanscript
    developing antibodies to mute the soft words she planted
    and the mantis intellect is a malady atrophied to gelatin
    hungering for a supple tit, I could give a shit about my fellow man
    soft flesh to caress with silk hands that constantly rock the cradle
    hourglass beauty in blue lace, moon face attached at the navel
    graceful and gentle cacoon, causing sequential bloom
    in a fertile flurry of steps thinning the breath of winter gloom
    a swan swollen in motion and faith, about to take my hand
    when she convulses mid gait and explodes to grains of sand
    I'm deep space racing to land
    My head falls safe into my hands..

    woke up this morning and smoked a dutch,
    alone and flushed
    from a night of mental dashing past latches corroded with rust
    mental sweating in the lockbox, slumbering thoughts calling shots
    As i crawled against dissolving walls and dodged the falling clocks
    shattering glass which in pin pricks turned liquid rather than skinning
    ..my body solid, I followed the sound of a distant mistress singing
    and when i catch her I strain to slam her face behind a crate
    A slight gasp out of existence into imagined database
    A pretty face liquidates into information stored 'n
    deep feelings consolidate til beauty frozen to adore in
    That's all i can afford 'n, chastity cast away for shadowplay
    I touch the flesh then compute the possible effects of my foray..

    i know she's waiting if i can just crawl a little further...

    mental exhaustion, locked in a pursuit that shakes the boxspring
    skipping over data chips and hopping fatal crossings
    pass a regent of sentinel recievers with bent and twisted features
    sent to teach me the procedure of being spit out in the mirror
    Into a copy of yourself with shackled senses and battered pride
    A casuality of passive drive, battery packed infanticide
    vanity is a blight..i'm so self-centered without you to focus on
    when fact and fantasy collided..
    and i was still alive when the smoke was gone
    see every night i chase a woman who is beautiful and naked
    and she ends up being you covered in soot and decrepit
    tugging at your apron for newts eye and dragon tooth
    I'm sure you can't feel a thing, skin is peeling off of you
    coming forth in folds of wizened life, appearing timestruck
    I reminisce on times I fell, and how you turned me right up
    your eyes are lumps of coal..in their true form, ain't no diamonds
    but you took a punishing toll, without time for painted horizons
    It's always you and solely you,
    I track you down but you're too fast for me
    oh, 'what was I to know of love's austere and lonely faculties..'

    wow, very nice.

    I loved it. there were little or no flaws with this to me actually, far above average. the storyline was very descriptive and individual. you picked your own topic, and as well as that, made it your own as well. the words seemed to come together nicely and everything was simply beautiful. emotion AND action were present in this, and i honestly think that it was a hot verse. your last one compared to this wasn't as good (the tim battle). your last one, you failed to bring me into the piece in the beginning, but from open to close, THIS was an attention grabber. very nicely written, way to make a topic your own. your styles very unique, and i enjoyed the read. thank you.
