Summer Rain

I was listening to that Carl Thomas.. yall know that song summer rain... if u dont you need to google it ASAP



As I stand outside at its peak
Its like the world shifts underneath my feet..
You see the change in the skies
as clouds shift from white.. the fading sunlight..
So dark yet.. so emotionless.
Standing in the wind
The thunder rumbling, sky rolling
so destructive yet peaceful at the same.
As I close my eyes..
visions of summer rain cross my mind.
The first drops fall..
you remember sweet memories of innocence
your childish youth..
Days playing in the rain, summers in the sprinkler.
CRASH the first lightning strike..
Memories of your first tear, your first real pain..
Listening to the soft rhythm of the raindrops fall
Reminds me of a soft lullaby.. whispering you to sleep
Calming.. kissing your cheeks
That sweet summer rain.
Sometimes you just want it to rain..
To wash away you pains
Rain.. rain.. let it rain.
Weeks of sweat, all worthy of that summer rain
It refreshes.. renews.. revitalizes..
Washes away.
Just as quickly as it comes, it fades away
Night back to day..
Like the opening of heavens gates
As you feel the first rays..
your skin glowing in the sunlight.
As it penetrates the once dark clouds,
Bringing back the light.
As it wakes you up again..
that sweet summer rain.

Hide and Seek

I was talking to my bff the other day and she was asking me why she dont have a boyfriend and i laughed but i really couldnt give her an answer.. told her if she doesnt know then how should I? And then i had an epiphany..

Lifes's a gamble.. make your moves, roll your dice.
Everybody looking for pies, but cant get a slice.
Born alone, die alone.
Wander on the earth alone.
They say home is where the heart is but mine's just keep it goin.
Its like when your younger, growing up as a kid.. all you did was play and have fun.
Play freeze tag and hide and go seek.
You looking for them, while they looking for me.. kinda sorta like love... a never ending game of hide and seek or catch catch get a lil bit.. or in some cases a lot of bit.
You meet somebody and its like you just starting the game.. everybody hurries to say "not it." But if you not willing to chase after someone how do you want someone to find you? So you ask yourself, do you want to win the game or do you want to find what your looking for?
If you win then you run the risk of never being found..
but if you do chase after someone, who says that they are going to be willing to be found?
this mating game makes life interesting because you never know who you might catch during a particular round.
So back to the question do you hide or do you seek?
Will you rise or accept defeat?
Ive done my share of hiding and ive done my share of seeking, but the decision is when to do which..
Most people hide when they should seek and vice-versa, continguing to play the games because on them they was played on.
Some say its wrong but who makes it right? Your friend who doesnt have a boyfriend who tells you that he is not worth your time? Or is it your homie who deep down likes the girl so he calls her a hoe so you wont proceed? Why do peoples opinions effect our decisions so, why do you care what people think... when you play hide in seek did your friend help you catch everybody? No.. Did they keep your hiding place a secret when they were caught or did they come right to you because they knew where you were?
Some things arent meant to be understood.. Why do dogs chase their tails? even when they do catch it they let it go? Why do you chase someone just to catch them?
Everybody always says the same thing "oh im on my grown status i dont have time for games" when really they still playing cat and mouse..

Just a couple thoughts i had goin on about the matter..
If you read it hope you liked it.. if you didnt oh well you prolly got things to chase after or hide from.. lol.
Either way.. feel free to comment, respond.. I'd love to get some feedback on this.

Fulfilling the day, some say its nutritious,
Forget the dishes, just make it delicious.
Oatmeal and raisins, bacon and eggs,
sunny or scrambled, breakfast for days..
Even if its a stormy or rainy day
the fresh smell of breakfast brightens the way.
Pancakes and sausage, Omlettes or waffles,
Quaker cheese grits, cook em in five.
Most commonly prepared before 11 and after 9,
one healthy meal could help close your eyes.
The itis induces dreamless sleep, lackluster slumber,
wake up on time for the mid day supper.
Grilled cheese, no instructions please,
turkey on white, no rye for me.
Hold the tomatoes just add cheese,
hot dogs by the beach, check out the breeze.
Lunch on the beach by the palm trees,
so its only right to have dinner over seas.
Caribbean cuisine, a dose of Chinese
some jerk for the jerks wit some raspberry tea.
Kung Pow Wow at the General Tso,
I kno the chinaman, so its "two ninety nine."
Fantastic voyage across the seas
as i land in a land where mother rules the peas.
At home there is dinner, place for a winner,
Fourths are gluttonous, i try not to be a sinner.
Steaks on the platter, side order of salad,
boston baked beans make your taste buds imagine.
What is an entree if its not from the best place?
Down south in New Orleans we have the best taste.
Be it our crab cakes, fried beignets
oyster on the halfshell, crawfish etoufee.
A Shrimp Po boy, side of dirty rice
all the northerners complain of the spice.
And to top off a wonderful night,
a slice of king cake, drizzled in white ice.
Loved by the fat people. hated by the skinny,
desert time.. everything good and plenty.
Upside-down cakes, pineapple cakes
double fudge brownies, double the bakes.
Ice cream pleasures, raspberry teases,
Sweet marble fudge, covered with reeses.
Dont forget to floss the sugars and steak
The sweeter the tooth, the worse the ache.
Please dont forget to scrape off your plate
Verb is to thought as thoughts love to taste.

7/6

People always ask me what ive been doin, nothin. your prolly thinking that sounds good. you prolly wanna do nothing too, but doin nothin is not as easy as it looks. u have to be careful because the idea of doin anything can easily lead to doin something and that could cut into your nothin.. and that would force me to drop everything.

Dont worry so much in life, cuz if you spend your life worrying you will live a life of misery. Life free, laugh a little. Learn from your mistakes and use them to make you a better person.

whoami?

always in the presence when you stare
cant get enough of it like fresh air.
people wonder why i take it everywhere
they say it belongs in a cupboard under stairs.
i wonder why im always on my peoples mind
and... since when did this become a crime?
i dont think that people realize
but its the reason i say whatevers on my mind.
its just like your underwear
i dont see em but i know their there.
you know its coming for a ride no chair
and its every where i be, so beware.
you'll like me with or without it
but i cant see me without it.
i take it when im up on mars
and its infected my mind call it SARS.
these are not simple rap bars
but can leave your mind encircled in stars.
i guess its something like a rush
or like your very first crush.
no matter how far you tuck
it will always stick out like girls wit big butts.
i know im rude, don't mean to protrude
and i counteract all your attitude.
im always on like the evening news
and i seem to work better when you in the nude.
So you wonder who am i
im the ego of a very special guy.

wondering why my mind roams
every time im sitting in my home
try to lock my mind down, put the safety on
but its hard tryna guard without the chrome.
loading up the digits in my phone
but i cant pull the trigger just to get a dialtone.
will i get the voicemail? signals strong
wonder if she even put my number in her phone?
does she even think of me when she is alone?
whats fact not fiction,
late nights, no lights, i be on a mission.
for enrichment i might head into the kitchen,
mental nourishment is my most preferred rittlen.
or a 1-2 simple bass rhythm,
lil bit of snare wit the high hat kicking.
music is the language that i speak,
but my verbose might sound a bit unique.
a lil heavy metal, heavy bass
no reinterpretation of my notes, no trace.
just a heavy tree dose, no ventilation
gazes of the awe glimpse imagination.
reasons why you on my mind pacing,
no need for speed, no street racing.
my mama always tried to teach me patience,
but i aint the type to just sit around waitin.
im on my green light vegetation,
no red lights, no hesitations.
i cant be slippin, so i got my shoes on
no fish tales, no rats tell comb,
but i must be on track the way im runnin round your dome.
just dont drop the baton,
this is more than just a simple handoff.
watch me hit the endzone,
twenty five rhymes, get my reggie bush on.
i can see your expression, girl we grown,
so dont act that when your mind catches on.
play action pass off the dome,
call it perfect 10, santonio holmes.

just a lil somethin i wrote one day, first time writin a real poem... thoughts suggestions
