Betrayal

Carving out a path to freedom
To have it denied
Friends who seek to save me
Leave me behind
I fight to understand
Where loyalties lie
Why so many should have to die
But I see in reflections
Returning in their eyes
Sending back my pain
I am but blue rain

Colorless

How blue is the rain I cannot see
I ask as the walls keep it from me
Colors exist on other levels
Where I am not allowed to witness
Only steel and concrete
And wooden tables
Where I am to confess
I see black and white
And continue with life

Inherent Pain

The thunder of boots in a darkened hall
Sounds of screams through a cement wall
Thoughts of no one hearing a call
Knowing again my defenses will fall
But through this fight I have only you
In my thoughts as all I can do
To shutter the sounds of inherent pain
I close my eyes to keep myself sane
Through roaring downpours of my blue rain
Crashing the ground in my throbbing brain

Before Assimilation

Complexities define me
For none know my next move
I need what soon I will see
Until then I leave no clue
Will she stand beside me
Or cross a busy street
Her scent evokes a wildness
For which I must compete
For will I take her briskly
Or move upon the next
Each time it becomes risky
Or now I could reject
To go upon resistance
Walk away in simulation
Let her feel safe
Before assimilation

We Are But One

Through the gates we are led
Our souls now dead
For here we suffer conformity
Through brutality
Injustice and destiny
With decimation
Comes Revelation
And ultimate assimilation

Fires of the Tormented Soul

Don't look in my eyes
As I hold you still
Ignore the fires
That burn at will
Remove the gifts
You have for me
And slip the lists
You would foresee
As best you know
You've never seen
An average Joe
You've been wiped clean

Scars of Injustice

Gently I move where I can see
A clearer view of my eternity
Windy gusts across a plain
Delicate flowers that ease my pain
Upon mountains I climb above
To shower below my intentions of love
And softly I endeavor to caress
The cheek of humanity to fully undress
A nature of life that goes within this
To smooth away deep scars of injustice
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Undone

Times dictate reactions
I see her there
Can't help but stare
Building internal factions
Drive me to her
But she sees her focus
I move with care
And realize my motive
While she moves unaware
That I am where
My instinct has control
My actions are not my own
I struggle to care
But chill to the bone
Enter the home
Blind from the stone
Put her to rest
As only I can do best
But gaze in the mirror
And snap to my test
Envision my horror
Reached my final quest
For this I must run
Immune from the rest
Again I digress
This can't be undone

Evolution of Freedom

Silence the only sound I hear
From beyond the razor wire
My loneliness becomes so dire
Love becomes so dear
And hidden things now near
Soon they will appear
In shadows of darkened halls
While peering through the walls
No longer will I fear
To what this has evolved

The Price I Must Pay

Frost upon the grass
Gazing from my hole
Seeking comfort
But knowing not my role
Of purpose or of sorts
Comes deep within my soul
Not unlike the courts
Where others come to rhyme
And life will take my time
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Intrusions

Lost in a storm of powerful words
Tossed from walls to visions
Captivated by the heards
And touched by their incisions
Behind these sounds I can endure
A lifetime of conclusion
Of this I surely can be sure
By deep and dark intrusions
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Beyond the Wall

Beyond the wall lay years of loss
Unreturnable forever
And at what steep and deadly cost
For what has been endeavored
But soon I will break down this pain
And venture back to freedom
For all of those who have been slain
For those who would believe them
A creeky gate with rusty keys
An escort to the entrance
And withered souls so worn as these
No vision of repentance

Reflections

I see myself through shattered lenses

Shards upon my past

Sitting among lavish denziens

Hoping it won't last

Men have taken to abuse

My kind and gentle nature

I choke them but they still refuse

Poetic nomanclature

But as I struggle to escape

These chains of mans injustice

I form a state they can relate

From all of their destruction

I look within to see my soul

Reflections of my face

And sit here in my quiet hole

My sins I will erase

Forever...

Bitches fight for love
On bruthas who don't give it up
They put themself through hell
Then need help from above
But the boyz they crave are hollow
Beaten shells of selfishness
Locked in cells of misogyny
Forever they will wallow
But soon will come salvation
A bright and loving star
A man to answer all their dreams
With depths of warmth afar
Into their lives he will return
To give them pangs of pleasure
And slowly beating drums of passion
Forever they will treasure
This man will take their darkest sorrow
And turn it into beauty
Their souls from which his hand will borrow
A saga to end with fury
For his love will be encircling peace
Wrought with pain and struggle
But in the end the pain will ease
Eternal sleep to snuggle.

For Soon I Shall Come

My appeal is in tact
Soon will be fact
To you I will find
To return your kind
And stuff into place
My eternal disgrace
To warm your dark soul
And fill your vast hole
A warning to some
For soon I shall come

Curvature Of The Sublime

I sit alone surrounded
By four walls grounded
My boys pounded
Alarms sounded
Soul hounded
For I imagine my escape
Steel and tape
Backroom rape
Windows agape
I slip into the night
Eluding the fight
Knowing what is right
Briskly in flight
Holding tight
I slip away
Nothing to say
I cannot stay
But society will pay
For this is the way
The plan I lay
And death to demons at the light of day
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

To Stand Trial

It went unnoticed my abilities to reason
Competency is now cause
To regress for their treason
But with retrials come victory
And valor defeat
Of misgiven convictions
And disgraceful retreat
For soon I will conquer
The justless system
And crush all of those
Who forced my conviction
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Cleansing Souls

He questions of my words of peace
How I had done my deeds
If I did clean of where I'd been
Or where I sowed my seeds
I say to them I cleared my paths
But doubt rings in their words
Of painful shadows clearly cast
Where screams are never heard.

Furiousity

There lies within my mighty soul

A path to rich defiance

Where men who recreate my role

Yet struggle for comliance

I sit here waging battles fierce

Armed with tools of honor

My armor they shall never pierce

I lay my love upon her

With waves of curiosity

She fights to gain her freedom

But with my furiosity

I force my way between them

She lay silent gazing up

I gently close her eyes

She sleeps now in eternal love

As I'm plagued with racist lies.

Forces of Hatred

Racist endeavors to keep me down
Got no purpose; got no ground
Words of hate
Still emmanate
Fill the air with rage
Defy me to regenerate
I cannot turn the page
Clearly seen within their words
Agendas filled with hatred
Flying free among the birds
Stoned to the ground deflated
Devils seek to kill my soul
Rip it from my being
Among the things that they have stole
Of what I am not seeing
But I digress these racist pigs
Shall not demote my choices
I counter their most evil tricks
And shall defeat their forces

Ghosts of Defiance

A passing wind untangles me
And roots to higher grounds
Of taking into custody
And slipping out of bounds
I fight the tyranny of youth
And struggle to outgrow it
I witness the barrage of truth
And forcefully bestow it
But deep within my soul of souls
I dig for self reliance
And journey down into a hole
To slay ghosts of defiance
