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. .

America The Free By Bo-Edward Lawrence

America the free, 📝 

Would have a nice ring to it if prejudice wasn't underneath 

I mean. 

Come on, its black history month and we are more inclined  

To worry about if a dress was gold or blue I think we are still color blind. 

Just enough to not realize  

That yes white against black violence is bad but black on black is the worst crime.  

But you know as a negro I can't be a hero  

Is what I once thought. 

My thoughts make me tired. 

The bud make me tired. 

Never an alcoholic the Budweiser.  

There's prejudice all around us even beyond race.  

At school I use to know a friend that was gay, 

Got bullied every day  

Spit in his face  

And was called a disgrace,  

But sometimes I wondered when God himself was gonna come down and wipe the tears off his face, Because at the end of the day  

To those ignorant souls, a bullet won't make him think straight. 

Accept people for who they are. 

Because America is the land is the free. 

Prejudice is just hate, 

And hate is to big of weight for my  

soul cannot take  

this miss domineer.  

If your words hold weight make sure your pronouns and nouns don't shake,  

Because I hate, Fake  

Apologies sound late, 

To a suicidal child in debate  

His fate is a razor blade to a beat away  

My heart shakes for you.  

I'll pray for you. 

America I hope you stay free. 

To sign this letter, 

I'll finish with a shot at the ignorant souls that are trapped in mental cages I feel sorry for you. 

Negativity breaks you down body part by body part. 

Because you have  

Lips that conceive lies 

With a breath that reeks of regret 

Makes me realize why your teeth shows gaps of faith and crooked promises and hopes 

Your a mouthful pessimism  

That makes me choke ! 

My chest and ribs become compressed because my stomach can't understand or process  

that you ain't shit but a thigh away from being alone  

A leg away from depression  

And a toe away from death.

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
