A Paycheck

By Kazz Falcon

A paycheck was my way to earn money for a living

I forsaken my boring job

I ended up living on the street

It sent me looking for another job

I won’t waste time on the street

I kept on looking till I find something

I wept when someone offered me a job

I was going to survive in this world

I grew into a responsible person

I glow bright as the North Star

The right amount put me on the right track

I got a life I always wanted

I gained a loving wife and three wonderful kids

I praised God for giving me everything

I lived in my dream house in Dallas

I steamed ahead to a better future

A future where nothing could destroy my happiness

Something got to give for God

I donated lots of money to charity

Nothing can rain on my parade, plain as simple

True Love

By Kazz Falcon

True Love

Nothing will come in between the two of us

We was really in love

I was so sure it cured me of the blues I had

It must be true love

I trusted everything will fall into it’s place

Something I will never regret

The everlasting love never dies

It kept us in a strong bond

Even the wolf in sheep’s clothing can’t tear us apart

I saw it so clearly

True love had never hit me so hard before

You gave me love to cherish with all my heart

I saved myself for u, the love of my life

Other men tempted me

Sure, another man may catch my eye

I would have been a prey

I couldn’t let myself through that

God set me on a trail for true love

I get wet all inside

I was mushy for someone to live

I was so fond of you

I gave you all my love

I lived with Mr. Right

We had a bright future to live for

Nothing will come in between the two of us

True love

Safety Net

By Kazz Falcon

Safety Net

I set him in his place

His drinking met up with him again

Alcohol was his pet

I let him have it

I won’t choose between his drinking and him

It was no contest and a waste of time

My negative energy rest in peace

I was positive that his drinking wasn’t my problem

He felt safe drinking around me

I found it to be an excuse

He would continues to abuse his body

I should have done it the first time

It could save me from reliving the past

The past caught up in the present

It taught me a valuable lesion

I destroyed the safety net

Broken Friendship

By Kazz Falcon

Broken Friendship

I went on a growing apart trip

I might not get off the ship

I ruined a good friendship

I gave him lip

I talked behind his back

He walked away from me for good

He balked at me how I treated him badly

A good friend, I cheated myself

Here was some food for thought

Friends are there through thick and thin

That golden rule I abused

I misused him for granted

He threw me out of his life

We grew apart, thanks to me

He may never be my friend again

Broken friendship

Invisible Love

By Kazz Falcon

Invisible love

I was infatuated for someone

I called him on the phone

He wanted none of my love

I was so alone without him

He hated being a clone

I saw him in a different light

He was too good looking to be straight

Why can’t I have him?

It drove me crazy

A white dove flew to me

I grabbed the note from the beak

I can be a geek sometimes

Love wasn’t there to begin with

It can’t be any different

I was gay and he was straight

Why chase after invisible love?

Welcome Back, Steve

By Kazz Falcon

Welcome back, Steve

I gained an abusive boyfriend

My friend warned me about him

I didn’t listen to him

“That kind of relationship wasn’t love.”

I was madly in love

Sadly enough, my friend walked out of my life

My lover kept on hitting me

I wept that I did something wrong

I slept horrible

I still wanted his love

He filled our love into a sick love

He didn’t stop hitting me

I dropped him like a bad habit

I hopped on the bus to Dallas

I regained his friendship

Welcome Back, Steve

Why, Dear?

By Kazz Falcon

Why, dear?

Love doesn’t suppose to be like that

I gave you all my life

I was a good husband

I thought I could trust you

I brought anything you wanted

I sought your affair from afar

I wasn’t that blind

Your eyes didn’t connect to mine

The affair wasn’t that fine

I wondered how long it went on

Then again, I didn’t care

So badly, I wanted to swear

I cursed you with all the lust you have

You deserved all the pain and suffering you gave me

I served you with divorce papers

I want you to be out of my life

You’re no longer my wife

You wanted to be someone’s whore

On our marriage, you closed the door

Why, dear?

Lonely Wife

By Kazz Falcon

I had the wandered eyes

You didn’t have time for me

You was too busy for work

You worked long hours

I felt lonely and frustrated

Some nights, you didn’t eat your meal

You claimed you wasn’t that hungry

You went straight to bed after work

What do you expect me to do?

I wasn’t getting enough loving

I still love you thou

I love you even more now

You go away on long business trips

I want to kiss you on the lips

You turned away from me

It burned me that work gets in the way

Our love took a nosedive

The other men made me so alive

Another lonely moment, I couldn’t survive

The Other Man

By Kazz Falcon

I met this attraction lonely lady

She was frustrated with her hubby’s love

He spent many hours at work

He hardly notice her ant more

She felt like their love was dying

He couldn’t respond to her attraction and love

She was desperate to be in my arms

She loves my smile and charm

I reminded her of his younger self

At first, she fought the attraction

She thought long and hard about it

She sought to have this little affair

It taught her that she couldn’t resist me

The attraction was so strong

She didn’t feel guilty about cheating

Her passion for her husband vanished

I replaced him in her heart

She was happier and more alive

I was a fresh of breath air

She could love the other man

Unhappy Home

By Kazz Falcon

I hated living here

I can’t wait to move back to Hollywood, dear

I don’t want to live in Texas for a year

With my feelings, I was being sincere

There wasn’t anything for me, much less a career

The apartment was a one-year lease

Moving to Hollywood was my peace

I tried to talk with the mother

She wouldn’t listen, oh brother

I lived in the middle of nowhere

I couldn’t go somewhere

I want to go anywhere

How could I?

I was far from everything

I couldn’t do something

I want to do anything

The bus lines was many miles from my place

I was stuck at home, doing nothing

It was freaking boring

I couldn’t stand it

I wouldn’t be happy

I shouldn’t live in an unhappy home

Short Visit

By Kazz Falcon

I went to Dallas

I thought my friend could help

Boy, I was wrong

She mentioned that living in Texas is where I belonged

What the heck!

My sadness was up to my neck

Life was a total wreck

I claimed I wasn’t happy

She proclaimed it was a part of God’s plans

I explained my happiness comes first

She mentioned I must do his plan

I came to a realization

She won’t help me at all

I wasted valuable time

She figured she could sweet talk of me staying

It wasn’t a part of my plan

She offered to pick me up for church every Sunday

I didn’t fell for her deal

After church, she took me straight home

We said “goodbyes” and “see me this Sunday.”

Hell, no - she was a big let down

My mind was made up - I was going back to Hollywood.

Frying Pan

By Kazz Falcon

I didn’t have a sure fire plan

I truly felt the heat

I lay there like a piece of meat

They turned me over

I burned to a crisp

I couldn’t be all that bright

I shouldn’t put up a fight

I wouldn’t wait for the white knight

It was too late to save me from the fire

The flames became higher each time

I tried to escape

I kept on getting burn

I wept that life was going up in smoke

It got extremely hot

The sun gave it the best shot

It boils down to this conclusion

Living on earth is a frying pan

Counting The Days

By Kazz Falcon

I had a week left to find a place

I couldn’t look at my face

All I saw was a grim future

This time, things were different

I faced really living on the street

They won’t extend my stay at the shelter

I won’t go to another shelter either

I don’t like being homeless again

I had the same feelings six months ago

It crushed my being

Someone stomped on my soul

My mind was ready to take a hike with Anne Heche

It could be my only way out of the situation

It should bring structure in my life

It would brighten up my future

I looked everywhere for a place

I couldn’t afford the apartments

I could do so much with SSI

What would I do?

Crying won’t do any good

I tried that; I ended up being homeless

In the process, I was losing my mind and soul

The Zone

By Kazz Falcon

I wasn’t alone

I was getting stoned

I loved this place

I saw many beautiful faces

I want to get them in the sack

Condoms or bareback

I didn’t care

If I get it, I wasn’t scare

I want the same thing no matter what the cost

In the naked sea, I wasn’t lost

I could last all night

I was as high as a kite

The men was a deliciously sight

It felt so right

They shared their drugs

I got much more than hugs

The drugs clouded my mind

My good sense was left behind

Sex & drugs was my guide

I didn’t want to hide in the zone

Fate

By Kazz Falcon

I stumbled out of the gate

Life wasn’t that great

I fell flat on my face

I wasn’t going to win the race

I need to act fast

I don’t want to be last

Life is a bitch

I wished I was a witch

I would cast a spell

Life wouldn’t be hell

I lived in the hood

It wasn’t that good

I run down the block

Time just stood there with the clock

I found a dime

Money was time

Both add up

I put it in the money cup

Life Sucks

By Kazz Falcon

I hadn’t any such luck

I felt like I was run over by a truck

I couldn’t move any further; I was stuck

I was down for the count

The hell I went though, I deserved a discount

Instead, $500,000 was a pretty good amount

I hate being poor

Life is unsure

Please send me on a detour

I want to escape the hell

I wasn’t that well

My life smells

I shouted out loud

I wasn’t that proud

So badly, I want to be on cloud nine

Let me see a sign

Then everything would be fine

All the happiness in the world could be mine

I was tempted to do a line of coke

Why not? I was already flat broke

I didn’t get this cruelly joke

Life sucks

Choice

By Kazz Falcon

I let it known through my powerful voice

I refused to be a part of his scheme

Robbing a bank was my friend’s dream

He thought we was a team

Hmm, not for the extreme!

He abused out friendship once too often

We robbed stores/people as young kids

I outgrown the childish games - Bonnie & Clyde

He accused me of being a hypocrite

Excuse me?

I didn’t want to do anything with it

He threw a big hissy fit

I got to admit

For himself, he wanted all that green

He was so hateful mean

A fabulous ideal popped into his head

He could split the bread

No thanks; I wouldn’t be caught dead

That money wasn’t ours to begin with

I earned a good living unlike him

I wouldn’t dare to mess up my life

He threatened me with a knife

He forced me to make another choice

Another Choice

By Kazz Falcon

I convinced him to put the knife down

His stupidity made me to frown

He has never act that way before

His tears fell to the floor

I closed the door

He wanted me to see things from his side

From all his troubles, he wanted to hide

Lately, he thought about suicide

He ought to know - Crime doesn’t pay

“What brought it up?” I asked

The demonic past finally caught up with him

He fought to live a good life

He failed miserable from his wicked past

The good life didn’t last

I felt sorry for him

He remembered the good times as kids

We made a fabulous Bonnie & Clyde

We terrorized the neighborhood for kicks

Now, he has nothing to show

He just wanted to be that kid again

With me at his side

Life was simple back then

Isn't Love Daring?

By Kazz Falcon

Sometimes, we need to question love.

Didn't it really happen?

Or was it a dream?

Some people want to scream

They want to wake up from the nightmare

Into their eyes, they stared

They wondered what happened

Was love worth all the pain in the world?

We can't seem to be there yet.

We traveled so many miles for love

Still, we haven't been able to find the right one

We searched high and low

Till the moment we find love, we are on cloud nine

We don't want to end the sweet loving

Things happens

We drifted apart

Where did we went wrong?

Who was to blame?

Did we act too fast for love?

Loves does takes time

Question love is such a crime

Isn't love daring?

Do You Dare?

By Kazz Falcon

Do you dare to continue reading this daring poem?

Do you dare to come out of the closet?

Do you dare to watch my teary eyes?

Do you dare to listen to my sorrows?

Do you dare to hear my heart breaking for true love?

Do you dare to love me for whom I am?

Do you dare to be there whenever?

Do you dare to face whatever life offers the both of us?

Do you dare to enjoy my company?

Do you dare to sleep with me in the same bed?

Do you dare to share your thoughts and dreams with me?

Do you dare to walk the highest mountain and the lowest valley for me?

Do you dare to overcome our toughest challenges together?

Do you dare to take care of me?

Do you dare to dream of loving me?

Do you dare to meet my family?

Do you dare to go on trips?

Do you dare to take a bullet for me?

Do you dare to remain friends after we broke up?

Do you dare to have only eyes for yours truly?

Do you dare to show me the entire world?

Do you dare to kiss and make up?

Do you dare to leave our dirty laundry at the door?

Do you dare to support me?

Do you dare to wonder about my feelings for you?

Do you dare to know my true feelings from me?

Do you dare to accept my love to you?

Do you dare to get what I want from this poetic art?

The Mouse

By Kazz Falcon

The Mouse

He couldn’t get along with his spouse

Sometimes, she threw him out of the house

He partied too much at the clubhouse

It was a madhouse

Even his bird friends wouldn’t let him to stay in the birdhouse

The only place he could stay was the doghouse

It was no penthouse

He sobered up fast; he didn’t want to go to the jailhouse

He worked it out with the spouse

No more partying for the mouse

The Fire Will

By Kazz Falcon

The house was in a blaze

It left me in a haze

The fire was out of control

It took the spirit out of my soul

I lost my spouse

I couldn’t afford another house

She was my life

She was the best wife

I read her will

She left me a new house on the hill

Deadly Pact

By Kazz Falcon

I made a pact

It was such an impact

I saw his wicked charm

There were marks on the arm

He was a champ

I was a tramp

I collapsed

From the drugs, I relapsed

Hollywood

By Kazz Falcon

Hollywood

There I stood

It was my dream since my childhood

I looked around the hood

It was fabulous good

I moved to Hollywood

The Frog

By Kazz Falcon

The frog

He stood up in the fog

He chased a dog

He defended his homey log

Claire

By Kazz Falcon

She had a little prayer

She don’t want the nightmare

She was forever on welfare

In awe, she became a millionaire

Her life was spare

Nat

By Kazz Falcon

She wanted to chat

I declined; she was fat

She picked up a bat

Drat!

Oh no, I would be flat

She killed a rat

She saved me; we chatted

Love From A Friend

By Kazz Falcon

There was a phone call

I rushed to the mall

I pushed myself to the front

I heard a grunt

I was so sure

I need to be cure

A lonely heart I had

I was sad

I had enough

Being sad was rough

I want it to end

“I love you” came from a friend

I rushed home from the mall

I was happy I made the phone call

Arching For Yesterday

By Kazz Falcon

Today

I missed yesterday

All day long, we kissed

So long, yesterday

Another day was today

I can’t wait for the kisses

I was such in bliss

Without her, I would be in a hiss

But there is always tomorrow

I could wait a little while longer

I must be patience

Her lips aren’t going anywhere

I would wait somewhere

Fullfilled Dance

By Kazz Falcon

I can’t believe it

Dancing is my favorite

Another day came upon me

I heard the harmony

I have another chance

I would enjoy the day with a dance

I danced the day away

It couldn’t be any other way
