Dial Tone By Bo-Edward Lawrence


Dial tone 

All I can hear when I call your phone. 
The echoes sound like distant moans.
The ring sounds like wounded angels trying to sing.

Pitch black shadows lean as the light of my screen breathes on my skin 

My fingers ache from pressing call with no answer at all 
Voices I hear in the distance linger in my mind like schizophrenic thoughts 

Your voicemail I memorized after hearing it a thousand times . . 
Goosebumps fills my valley like skin.
I tremble although in the sheets. 
I feel cold although alone ❄️
Swallowing ice I can see my breath take shape of frozen ghosts. 

I am cold yet alone accompanied by demons singing your dial tone. 
Yo. . 
Your. . 
Dial tone sounds like a broken song. 
A faulty note. 
A flawed symphony . 
I await to hear your voice on the other end of the lingering notes. 
But all i am ever left with. 
Is a never ending
Never changing
Dial tone. .

God's Beauty By Bo-Edward Lawrence


God’s beauty 

I'm infatuated,
 By the little things I see in your eyes and in your smile.
Grace and magnificence peers out your skin like beautiful legions that know secretion,
With a smile that's so intriguing,
That traps me even when you are not speaking,
Your love is beautiful but your charisma is so misleading.
Baby you are the definition of beauty and elegance.
It must be hard for you to watch me as I lean in to kiss yah,
When you’re trying to be defined in the lines written in gods scriptures.
Your eyes wonder while your body begins to denature.
As you begin to drip,
Trees begin to build, I wish you can understand my animated picture.
A picture that moves smooth along the grooves of your fingertips.
Our relationship is unique the one that all your friends become jealous with.
The one that everyone searches for and tries to get into,
You’re the only one I'm talking to I just thought that you already knew.
And if we were to be compared to how the ocean flows in a different point of view.
While everyone else's is drying up I keep that ocean flowing healthy and royal blue.
What's love without trust?
What's Minnie without Mickey?
What Tigger without pooh
What Peter without Louis?
What's me without you?
Surprisingly I can't find the time to adore your beauty.
Or even withstand the pain that I would be suffocated in if you were to say you wish you never knew me. .
See your exterior is not your only sense of beauty,
You don't get distracted by the diamonds and rings all those things
You happen to be one of those Girls that bury their sins
 And truly cares about what kind of fabric my heart is being carried in.
With love like that,
You have me thinking about what kind of church we are going to get married in.
See but my heart is big so don't use
Chiffon because it can be kind of a cheap.
Use something like leather and hope it last forever
Because your my never ever,
My never ever want anything better,
Don't never ever give me a burger without the cheddar,
My never ever enter this weather without you as my sweater,
My never ever talk to that trick because I have you I don't need to have met her,
My never ever receive anything from you without you crossing your Ts and hearting your Is in this letter.
My never ever ever never
Ever never
The point is I want you forever

Runaway By Bo-Edward Lawrence


They never accept you for you, they always want you to be equal.
I hate people, I HATE people !!!
they abuse me in every way that is legal.
I know you hate the way i look, talk, and act, but you compliment me to stay peaceful.
I know you want me to be more STRONG minded, so if I cap lead in my cerebral.
would that make me more accepted or make my thoughts more evil and lethal.
I tell her don't wait up, straight up!
these street lights get dim at night because a story is about to be told
these nights get cold.
everyone wants to be noticed in a world where no one appreciates a good soul.
Do you judge someone for only what they show?
I'm a diamond in a dark space surrounded by rhinestones.
Everyone claims and wants a "real" nigga? but a "real" nigga never can grasp the ropes 
and only knows real lies because when it comes to the truth they seem to get tongue tied. 
My life is a combination of combinations. . what is the code?
My mind is a deep conversations sparked from a conversation. . what is the dialect?
I apologize for my thoughts 
I'm just painting Mona Lisa with my soul using the world as my canvas.

I Am by Bo-Edward Lawrence


I am different, 
from everybody else.
I see the things that your glistening eyes cannot imagine.
I with stand pain as to swords clashing and spears piercing my heart, and vacuums breaching my ribs to suck my life away, or my legs getting so weak were I can't seem to walk anymore
But you.
Your mind simply defines that as heartbreak.
Sometimes these visions that become trapped In My mind makes me flabbergasted.
Seeing a girl with a nice round personality.. makes me infatuated
See your heart telling you one thing
While your mind tells you another, making your decisions dumb and not so sharp but My heart and mind work together never apart I guess I'm just love smart
They say love can't be defined
I guess this is why I'm a poet to one day define love
Explaining the wonders of gods gift that feeble minds can not understand.
  Unfortunately I can't define myself
Defining me Is like defining why Adam and Eve fell victim to the apple, or why Romeo and Juliet loved so much to the point they would have died for each other, or why god made earthquakes and hail, or why each and every human suffers from unexplained  betrayal, slaves to our emotions
Trapped by our faith.
But I know
When this earth turns into dust and sand
When I can define love and life
I know I can define who I am
I know then I will become a man

Inspiring Poem By Bo-Edward



In every eye there is a soul,
In every child's heart there is a dream.
And within every vain there is passion that blazes through
like water crashing, through mountains.
Filling rivers, even oceans
Ever so potent, sending notions,
To those butterflies that blaze your stomach when you get a little nervous.
See I have my heart wide open.
Because unconsciously it chases after dreams,
Dreams that those soul seeing eyes could never lay upon.
Or those hearts that can't beat the same melodies my heart beats,
Because happiness has its own music that it plays just for me.

In school I always hated history class because I loved kids more,
Maybe it's because history always dwelling on the past
And with every kid I met it was like taking a new fresh breath air of the future
You see I always believed happiness and inspiration was the same thing
Because as I inspire you, you inspire her and him, and they inspire them
Which eventually, suddenly happens to relocate back to me
I mean I just call that the life cycle

And as all these people become bellied up with all this happiness
They start to glow with positivity burning holes in the night sky
And if I was an alien sitting on those red velvet stones on mars looking down at earth
My antenna would go crazy because I wouldn't know the difference between earth and the sun

I want everyone who is listening to me to promise me something
As you know I'm trying to spread my inspiration!
And cover the Earth with it
So much inspiration
Not enough to drown you but enough to lift you off your feet
And just swim lightly because you will be swimming in my dreams
And promise me
That when you shoot for the stars, you shoot with your eyes closed
Because they say dreams only come true when your asleep,
that can’t be true.
because when your eyes are closed that's when your soul is awake.
