Feeling Restless-Rest Us

Gospel

I don't cry no more..

So don't cry when I don't reply.

The streets,

my home,

and my people-

The love ones I call

Family- have left me cold.

Have let me down

(have taken my halo; broken it into two)

and have left me the frown.

So I've turned them down,

down towards the drugs and booze

to darken my mind.

Hell...

I could no longer mind my mind

because my dreams were no longer mine,

and the tobacco has helped with the blackening of my soul.

So-

Soul?

Are you with me God?

My spirit is divine,

but my innocence is no longer

Mine

My

Ra

Mayra

My Goddess

No Egyptian,

but better.

My Nayarit Maya.

I gave my heart to Ya

And you fucked it up

Yea

And Yet, I yet to continue your Worship...

War and Ships

But you?

Dropped bombs of ecstasy, faith, and hope

straight down from my inner space.

Any time the ground rattled, shook, and marveled;

Your touch took me to the

                                                         N

                                                 O

                                           O

M

But where are you now?

But you should be the ONE

that should be

?uestioning me

because I couldn't make up my

mind and where I stood,

So I left you far behind.

That’s All that I know.

Oh how I don't cry

with the exception of you

and those Butterscotch Sonic Green

EYES.

My Dear,

do you remember

when you told me

I was you SIN?

But I told you,

I was SiNCERE.

My Dear,

I don't cry no more,

and that's my sin.

Sincerely,

Yours.

This is a heat storm, bro. My goodness.

"I could no longer mind my mind
because my dreams were no longer mine"

^ This, and what you did with the layout of M O O N, among other things.

Felt this, too- I relate to it. She might never, ever leave your thoughts for good. Solid, man.

[sinNsincerity]

Awe thank you brother, I'm glad you dig it man and could relate. That's all I want.
What did you think of this metaphor, "(have taken my halo; broken it into two)
and have left me the frown.
So I've turned them down[.]"

[Asante]

(have taken my halo; snapped it in two)
and have left me the frown.
So I've turned them down,

Say that aloud, bro. If you wanted to play with sound, that could be a dope little alteration, but I like the original 'cos it's a clean message of having your innocence stripped from you, without being so straightforward that it doesn't fit, y'know? I'm digging it either way.

[DIVYA]

The visual effect created with the word Moon is appreciated very much and adds such emphasis to the point being made. In my view a very rare person deserves to be cried for but we are human after all...

[sinNsincerity]

The moon commands my respect, she takes the blows for me. Have you seen the scars on her surface? But her heart is pure.
Thank you for stopping by Divya, I highly appreciate you for that.

[DIVYA]

You are most welcome. Its always feels great to get a new perspective on things of poetry...like the Moon here.

[Luci]

I really like the structure of this poem! Flows really well and the imagery was heartbreaking (in a good way!). Fantastic writing~

[sinNsincerity]

My heart has been broken(in ways)
My pleasure Luci

[Nancy T. Words Move Me]

Nice structure. I may try writing in this manner. It might not come easy to me, but if you look me up, I'd love to receive your feedback. Words and experiences are so personal to one. Thanks for sharing!

[sinNsincerity]

Careful now...

[Ana B.]

Oh wow! Every time i read your poems i think there's no way it could be better than the last one. But you always prove me wrong. I just love it, especially this part:
''I gave my heart to Ya
And you fucked it up
Yea
And Yet, I yet to continue your Worship...''

holly s**t, that's just amazing. Can't say i relate though, hate to admit that i was always kinda on the other side of the story, ya know, the heart breaker...Take good care David :)

[sinNsincerity]

I do what I can to produce what's haunts me. I love that you Love it Ana. It is always my pleasure.
What can I say, I'm a sucker when it comes to the heart. Not gullible, just hopeful.
You little heart breaker hehe

[Ana B.]

:) I'm a firm believer that karma is a nasty b***h, so i have it coming haha anytime David.

[sinNsincerity]

I'm sure you'll be fine if you find someone who is as complete as you are and vibes on the same frequency. That's why ive been single for two years and some change, I have to find someone who is who so I don't have to fix them.

[Ana B.]

I understand. Well, i hope you will find the one who will be in sync with you :) I'll be rooting for my own piece of cake haha

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you Roxane, I'm really glad that you enjoyed it!

[Eleña ♥..]

I could not not cry reading this. Even line was like a quick jab to the heart, I could feel the immense pain and sorrow. I am sorry you hurt this way, but I am here. Just hope you don't mind my "Butterscotch Sonic Green EYES."

[sinNsincerity]

Dam hon, that's deep. Thank you! I do hurt, but I transmute that energy into compassion for others with the hopes of love and positivity. My heart is my bond. Oh I don't mind at all hehe

[Eleña ♥ Milan]

And that is a gift given to only by the most special people. Your heart is amazing
