My ruminative thoughts,
A life unsought,
They all want to be thought,

I collect these precious moments,
These dreams and equity spent,
A heart, no longer lent,

6/21/16
The sun shone that rainy day,
To a place unwelcomed,
Life brought from another life,
The darkness I knew in you…now light,

A seed planted deep in me,
Slowly grew from what you brought to me,
A fire unstoked, burned with you,
Sought and forced by you,

[BIG] Never a flaw
[Kim] A different kind of high
[Kim] Ya know, feel me on this, huh, uhh

Ladies and gents
Your dopest host presents extravagance
In the ladies’ frame, leaving c-m stains
N—az remain in awe, when I brought a Dillinger
Throw it to ya jaw, uhh
Never a flaw
Never before, have you seen such magnificence
In the black princess, yesss
Flow’s Phenom, I’m the bomb-diggy
Ask Biggie, keep a dedicated squad wit me
Call us the Gabbana girls
We dangerous, b—hes pay a fee just to hang with us
Trust, n—az lust

Text Tuesdays – Edgar Allen Poe – “The Valley of Unrest”

I did not have a chance to write.

Once it smiled a silent dell
Where the people did not dwell;
They had gone unto the wars,
Trusting to the mild-eyed stars,
Nightly, from their azure towers,
To keep watch above the flowers,
In the midst of which all day
The red sun-light lazily lay.
Now each visitor shall confess
The sad valley’s restlessness.
Nothing there is motionless —
Nothing save the airs that brood
Over the magic solitude.
