Fantasies of brunches and hotel suites

Secret meetings by 10th street

Seducing her vigorously

Upon his members he thinks

Closing remarks are spoken

Benediction; one final drum

As the paster greets all

He searches for Mrs. Mystery one

Caught up in girl talk

The whispers unveil Kenneth

Secret lies unfold

As the preacher makes

In the voluminous vastness-
indolently dust and gas amass
contract and glow
then expand and explode.

Your incandescent luminescence
dimmed softer the farther you flew.
Burnt out you lost your spark
to the dark. Toxic to you you grew.

A neon emblazoned stratosphere;
destruction has never been so beautiful.
Shes gone forever the nights

Accepting her program

She sits near the front

Accepting the hurt

The lies and the wrongs

Kenneth knows a secret

What lies between the preacher

His undercover affairs

That demolished his past with Lisa

He knows a secret

That his wife wouldn't believe

Her faith in service

The preacher's make believe

There she sit

As the wheels roll on

So will the lies

Two blocks from home

With fire in his eyes

The smell of home

Is dead and gone

They're waiting at home

His wife so all alone

She boils for revenge

With a twist of self hatred

It's 10:51am

She knows he won't make it

There was a woman

Who would pray day and night

Statues of her husband

Conceived fights along the nights

Years has passed

She can't realize,

That taking him to church

Might be the righteous path

Another sunday morning

And he's not home

She's putting on her dress

As she calls his cell phone

She says " Hi baby, are you going with me today"

He looks at his watch and says "I'm on my way"

He kisses the mistress and says "I love you"

Been out all night but he keeps his cool

The ignition is started

His faith has departed

Living in denial

Carefree of a cold gossip

The Earth

If I could talk this is what I'd say

Why not celebrate a week a month a year not just a day.

You poison me with your everyday life

Some of you so ignorant and do it out of spite.

Polluting me with garbage and dirty air

Love is long gone when you are looking out the window. Dark and cold you get a shiver knowing you are alone Because you only hear the time thicker as you walk down memory lane and you feel nothing but pain that runs all threw your vains because u know that love is long gone...

When it rains it will drench you

 The angels in your heaven have been struck with a bolt

 And began to shed their tears down upon your heavenly surrounding.

You woke the anger inside of him

Destructive carelessness unforgiving and unpleasant things are about to happen

At no fault but your own dear motherly one.
