Into The Light

To a place that knows me well
We meet among the pines
Where once my weary body dwell
Behind the structured lines
We settle down upon the log
And dream of anguished times
A quiet man; a lonely dog
A sharing of the rhymes
Envisioning the darkness
Of cloudy memories past
Rejoice together peace at last
And exit from the fog

All Along

For as long as time
Has my world been cursed
Searching for the one
To quench my thirst
In the alleys beyond
And pastures before me
Through spaces I have gone
Unable to see
When all along present
I failed to envision
What has come to me last
Was where I was brought
Upon first.

One Chance

How I have fallen
With just one glance
Our eyes meet softly
The spark ignites
We venture madly
To seal our night
Cornered by circumstance
Devoid of light
In silence I revel
Given just one chance
To live the love
Of this perfect romance
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Blue Darkness

Through tears of painful burning
A fog of pepper mists
Swirling in the hot night
Among cries of helplessness
Blurred vision not returning
To see the blue through darkness
And quenching thirsty yearnings
I learn to love the taste
Of what was once a weapon
Whose anger now erased
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Escape

Again I find myself among the mire
Deep within the jungle as darkness settles
Dampness thick in the air
A lone man pedals
Alarms sound wildly as I go
Stench of garbage flows
Dim lights glare
Shadows long and ominous
But for nothing there
And grueling hatred follows
A man who flees his past
He slithers through a puddle
Strewn with broken glass
Focused on his ends
Hoping on all hope
To find the final glory
Untie his binding rope
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

But...

Pushed aside unconsidered
Kept in silence alone
But for a word given
And not allow me to speak
I sit in quiet solitude
Beaten down and weak
For all I have to offer
Disregarded for others driven
I wait my turn in earnest
Beneath this box I live in
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Visions

Pressing past my past

Envisioning what's to come
To feel the new beauty
And hope for it to last
I see so many futures
Yet I am troubled by the pain
That comes from simple living
In efforts yet to gain
But beyond the many failures
Come peace from up above
And save us from our hateful lives
With small tokens of love
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Dictionarily Challenged

I wander alone among the unknown
Seeking the meaning of what is not shown
Have I stumbled upon something anew
Known by only a few unable to view
Shall I summon a source literary dark horse
Found purely by force on a twisted course
Refer to the guide as I take this short ride
Reveal this new side attempting to hide
Needing this release I call the police
Search for my peace hoping to cease
Open the book to have a good look
Wondering aloud
Copse?
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Word Justice

Enter a world where
Nothing is known
And words thrown out
meaningless
For simplest of things
Are best to describe
Actions shown
Leaving no doubt
Not forced confusion
Or subtle black ops
Don't make me have to
Call the copse
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Impending Freedom

Waves of peace roll over
The end of pain in sight
An entrance to a new world
Freedom from this fight
A sea of life before me
An ocean of hate behind
At tunnels end I see my light
I've searched but now I find
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Destiny

To see what is ours
But not to reach
To hold fast the dreams
We struggle with fate
And hope it is kind
Our youth we will teach
Their peace we should find
Erase all the hate
Through the windows
Of the mind.
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Emerge

Carefully he wonders
Her fragrance abounds
Knowing her presence
Feeling her sounds
Reaching within
Emerging with passion
Gives love to his sweetness
In tenderly fashion
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

The Devil Within

It drives my thoughts
And moves my soul
Tells me things
I should not know
Takes the things
That bring me peace
Allows the beast
To be released
Alas this freedom
Living alone
Expose its face
Inner voice shown
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Misplaced Words

He stumbles as he reaches
For words to speak for him
Memory dim
Of what the past teaches
Darkly grim
Wishing to awaken
He can now rejoice
But quickly retaken
By his inner voice
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Thoughts...

To the shelters I prowl
Watching them toil
Pushing their needs
Planting their seeds
But to wonder aloud
As I set to recoil
I have to imagine
What are they thinking
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Personal Space

She was new to my world
A virtual stranger
She knew not the extent
Of her impending danger
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Lost Boy

As a wisp of warm air
He slips past the gate
His deepest secrets
Locked inside innate
To share with himself
His wondrous dreams
Where under a bridge
His life always beams
For there he will go
And bring forth his joy
The stranger is now
Long lost as a boy
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Brutal Stranger

This weapon for love
Strikes effective
Not selective
Brings her to a new
Objective
He fills her void
But travels softly
Reflective
Of past loves
In the range her
Memories once of
This brutal stranger
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Unfamiliar

In slumber it seems
I am living in dreams
The walls unfamiliar
The people obscene
But awaken to hope
Of the home that I know
A place of kindness and love
Where beauty can grow
But fate takes my arm
And pulls me to danger
The more it does harm
The more is the stranger
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

The Stranger Awaits

On the block he is marched
In the cover of night
To the holding quarters
Under the light
He feels the rage of his porters
Prepared for the fight
And the stranger who waits
To instill his fright
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Infinite Lock Down

Into the sun a man stares
Focused on the horizon
Waiting
He dreams of the places
To begin his arising
Futile chases
Cold faces
Another locked door
Freedom nevermore
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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

© LUTHER SPELLS

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.
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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.
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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.

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

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
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Oppressive Fluid

It has been called a substance

Exhibit twenty nine

To scientifically report

The fluids would be mine

But what of science and the law

Be fully circumspect

I looked and knew of what I saw

A loss of all respect

Convictions of a racist band

Of devils in disguise

I offer each my willing hand

And look them in their eyes

For one fine day I will arrive

To greet these evil men

Who endeavor to deprive

Beg mercy will they then

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Seek Freedom

It is but a fleeting thought

To take for granted such nature

Of freedom and liberty to go

Upon our way for life

Without benefit of empathy

To take from others unaware

To witness their despair

Evidence take away freedom

A single strand of hair

Years will pass with thoughts of when

He could have left behind

This incarceration within a pen

His freedom he could find

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Working Man

I struggle to create
But others do to take
My fashion is copied by group elite
And racist cover copies
Alas my ideas worth to many
But to me they offer none
For taking what was been done by me
Shall see you to your end
©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

They Know Not

The pain and suffering we must endure

Their hatred of us for it

They know not of our tireless struggle

And step upon us anyway

For they have not been to where we go

Or seen the agony in our eyes

They see beyond our twisted fears

But neglect our fleeting cries

Our blood means nothing to their lives

They sentence us to years

My pain oozes from my pores

And sweat devours my tears

My freedom is of no consequence

I melt away from years

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Trash Day

It's trash day in the neighborhood

Me and Lemuel take our walk

He points to where he laid her down

And bit her clean pink gut

I lift the cover heavily

We toss the bags inside

We envy for her lifelessness

Beyond the walls she rides

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Rain

The saddness of a rainy day

I plead for where I go

I summon for a passing ride

They see invisible

To them I do implore my rage

Splashed and weary wet

Lean into her now broken vent

She moves aside with ease

I hold her tight against her door

She begs me Mister Please

Lights flash behind us now

She loses time from me

We open up the speeding door

She quickly disappears

Her tumbled mass a speed bump now

And I lose ten more years

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Longing For Her

Longing for the love that sends me here

Longing for her touch and an ice cold beer

Longing for the grill and her chicken fired

Longing to be free from this hell mired

Longing for the love I inject upon her

Longing to devour as I lay beyond her

Longing to be free and send her away

Longing for another satisfying day

©2009 LUTHER SPELLS

Beat Down

A missent glare
Beaten down
Cameras watch
Domed mirrored stare
Bloodied strikes
Payment pending
Mens heads pool
Crushed and bending
