Chess Anyone?
By: Soultress & Emcee Universe "Battered Wife" - Soultress Our loves union now sealed within this band of gold But the person that I despised in you has now begun to unfold Smiles and soft caresses conceal the blackness to my flesh Weapons of your "love" break me I want to start out fresh Gentle night's encounters now only found in my memories No more "I love you's", morning comes with fresh appologies Bonded by marriage I am confined to life down upon my knees My mind grows weaker each day I live with loves disease With the dying of the sun your fist once again brings me pain But this time I did not shed a tear, this time I did not complain My heart remained calm, it beat rhythmic with your shallow breath Without hesitation I took back years of pain, I smiled upon your death "Confused Husband" - Emcee Universe Thunder shakes the heart shaped matress that I lay upon Thinking of what we're in, If we're really a match for life Leaned over to turn on the light, But the switch was gone Stood up and walked to bathroom, Slowly I began to cry Looked into the mirror and stared myself in the eyes Turned off the light, and sat next to my love Closed her mouth, which was so cute to see open Closed my eyes and asked God to watch from above Kissed her cheek softly, My true love Im sure hopein' Three months pass sence our beautiful wedding day And now I noticed a difference in your behavior I question it, And you told me not to think that way I show you evadence of your change, Now I need A Savior? Saying good night, You rush off to bed - leaving the kiction While I watched the news running past twelve thirty at night Later on As I put down the tolet seat cause I hate her bitchin' I noticed the image of my love, Standing Holding a knife "Are you okay?" I ask as I back towards the door "I loved You" She responded stabbing herself Her body hitting the carpetless Floor "Battered Wife" Alone now with my lost thoughts mixing this cocktail of insanity I feel nothing, yet I am overcome with sorrow, do I possess humanity? My hands long ago cleaned but still I feel the blood won't go away The love that brought together two perfect souls is now but mere decay Walking down roads that I fear will never end I long to be released I hold onto my new hope of freedom, No more battered night at least I brush the misty tears from my eyes as I inspect my new surroundings Unfamiliar scenery greets my view, fear has me and my heart is pounding Lost in a surburban jungle, no where to turn my heart sinks with defeat Solitude is forced upon me and with lonliness I must now compete Each breath burns like fire now as I lower to the ground on my knees My breathing shallows as my own sobs are joined with ones just thru the trees His shoulders shake gently as his silloutte sits restlessly upon his deck So with caution I approach, fascinated by the mirror image of this wreck Standing before him his eyes raise to meet mine and I lay my hand against his face He cast his eyes down my body as his tears fall harder while he takes my embrace "Confused Husband" Never have I seen such hurt, such pain in someone's eyes Until this woman with a soul burnt, Came into my blury sight "What's you're story?" She asked, Couldnt believe her half a smile I could only blink and lower my head, For my head was running miles "Come with me" She said demanding an answer from me "She loved me" I responded, Looked up, Clouds far as I could see Telling her the story of what happened that night Our eyes stayed together, as her eyes vanished the white "Oh my God...." She mumbled ever so low in tone "What's wrong?" I asked, "Nothing.. Just not totally in the Zone" "I got an idea!" I declaired on that shadow glazed night I went inside and picked up a brown colored carton "My wife wouldnt play me" I said, Sitting straight up right She moved the Horse inna "L" motion, taking my pon.... |
ok, overveiw beginning to end:
the title even got me y'all!! That's what made me want to read this. Which ever one of y'all came up with that should give yourself a big pat on the back!! The first lil bit... all I could think of was "Oh no! He beats her! " like another poem that I read by Liba Dee, I'd been talkin to her about abuse and stuff so it's close to home, or at least what what's been in my mental the last few days. Your writing style is a lot like mine Soulstress. Which made things a lot easier to read when it came to your parts. And at one point I could imagine your familiarity with the lines that you'd written. I dont' know why that came into my head of all things but it did. Emcee I've never seen anything you've written I don't think. At least I don't recognize the name, but you are talented (I'm sure you know that because not just anyone can pull of a collab with a writer like Soulstress). You had a different approach to a collab, which was cool, you're writing style definatly complements hers and you two make a good team. Not too many people can write poetry well with dialouge because common words are no where near as beautiful as the thoughts that we express while writting, but you still did a great job at that too. Over all great peice, you two are a great duet, and I'd love to read more from both of you (even together again if you felt like it) Peace |
Thanks! Uppin!
