Reign, by Ley

Reign

So afraid, I’ve never felt so low

So failed, nowhere left to go

I keep praying, I keep saying

But nothing has changed

Are we all at the bottom

Expecting someone else’s reign?

Like a starving African village

Which no one cares to save

I wither and I wander

In search of batman’s cave

(2014)

Two Emotions

Ten months ago I met the man of m… Magic I’ve dare not believed Never my story, always supporting… But in that moment, the lights cam… Man did I run fast

Unrequited

Sometimes all I think about is yo… When anybody else could do They send texts, pictures, complim… On any given day Yet still I sit alone and wonder

I am a sister We share the same history In this together loving life’s mys… I am a daughter Difficult often challenging times

Impassioned

Sweat trickles down my spine Panting breath, your hands in mine Straddled tight I rock the boat Waves crash in rising note Tongues collide, organs swell

Tears

Shed over a million tears for you Need something new I’m broke Grief weighs down my soul Can’t find a place with you whole

I Dare You

How dare you not stand up for me? How dare you not fight! Don’t speak... For now, you have no right.

Catch Me

Catch me if I fall Hold me when I stand Be there when I die And we’ll walk hand in hand And if by chance your praying fail…

Stifled

Confused and stressed Broke I rest less Exhausted like the fumes Of old world manifest Bills and pills

Boom

Boomerang fate Precipitated by the boomer’s Capitalistic hate Broken families Stolen nest eggs

Tantalize

Images of lust evoked Remembering your touch Saturate my desire Hold me in your clutch Cultivate my body
