Shades Poem by Gregory PierreJerome

Shades

In a dark cave, I am
I feel a heat wave, I’m deep inside a grave
Dug down low in a cage, I feel rage but I am brave
Low in emotions, terrified by my actions, and ashamed of who I am
I am a monster, am filled with destruction, and now corrupted
I was kind before, I say
I used to laugh, sing, dance, and pray
Now I am filled with negativity, just a man deep in darkness
Hopeless love, no more compassion, and lost in desolation
I punched her lips, I used to kiss her lips, and I slapped her face, but I use to caress her face
I am a bad man, a stranger to myself, a dead flower, and empty cup of water
Life got me bitter, I used to be generous and passionate, but now rotten
Along my way to oblivion I met a friend
She picked up made me smile and gave me courage
Wisdom is her name and beautiful she is
She is sweet, lovely, and courageous
She is a virtuous, sensual, and all sensitive
I am seeing the light again, something pure and loving
My darling, my best friend, thank you for coming through
I was in a dark cave afraid of the new me
The real free man in me is shining lil by lil again
Cruel, vicious, and nasty I became
With you around I am calm, peaceful, and no more in shame
Wondering to and fro, my happiness I did not know
The chocolate cherry tasting wonderful
Jolly and joy my new miracle
I dance with you and sing with you
I am found again enjoying music the harmony of your heart beat
Please oh please do not feel guilty, I am just a man in need of you
Life seems unfair but let us play the game, Russian roulette risking it all
For you in fall, in love I am, to hope for true compassion, a with it is after all
Confused and quiet, your love I seek innocently lusting after your soul
In a dark cave I was, lil by lil you pulling me out, but you truly deserve more than I offer
I beg for you to stay with me even if it’s a while to be
I beg for you to pray with me that it last forever and in continuity
I am you as you are me, twins of the universe, a compassion spree
My chains of negativity are broken free, safely in your arms, oh wow I’m at glee
My pleasure to have my tongue under thee, delighted in your taste of your punani
Wanting to please your fantasy thanks for being so kind to me
I am a love lave to a queen; I am a love slave to Mali
Mother Africa in our heart; Israel in our mind; Mecca and Jerusalem in peace and free
A world of peace, love, and charity; to life as to us, soul lovers of humanity.
