Subsequently

Subsequently

Slow jogging on the treadmill has my heart pounding
Sweating processed Aquafina
Complimented with nothing better than a slight dislocation of my Vickies

SUB-SEQUENT-LY

A toned body, a bigger confidence and great magnitudes of personal satisfaction
Only initiated by self because self speaks works, maybe lies or truths, meaningful or meaningless
Ultimately resembling the artistry of your true “SELF” indeed

Blabbing at the mouth, co-signing to conversations that were already dimensionalized by Jane Doe and Billy Ray.
In other words, NOYB
But why ramble in a gamble when you have no money and the casino ain’t ever seen yo…yo...

SUB-SEQUENT-LY

Limited friendships, refrained information, and indecent stares.
Did I mention, hurt feelings and missed knowledge.
Good, watch leads to an unpredictable demeanor.
_______________________________

Game-spitting, dread infested, low waves fade approaching me, you, and your cousin
Grinding and stroking trees, branches, and leaves if possible
Thinking his un-intellect collec-tively protects
That heavily used cardboard and playmates.
Or Easy-goers, conveniently named dimes divided by one night equals nothing but a waste of time
Get your game up!



SUB-SEQUENT-LY

A “NEXT”, MTV named it appropriately
A ballot checked “NO” to your immaturity and clearly observed insecurities
A sudden portrait displaying your search for attention and lack of love, for yourself that is…
REAL women will stop the clock on your “I don’t know how to love” asssssking for another chance that you really never had
_______________________________

Hard-working, heavily stocked in the Lord, wise young lady
Broken-hearted, all-giving, a great display of altruism
Sadden by the sleep of the sun because she goes home to nothing but a 1300 square feet apartment
Enriched with black granite countertops to watch another episode of the “HILLS”
Lives life according to the best “to-do” manual, Basic Instructions Before Leaving The Earth but falls short in some instances
Strong tho…

SUB-SEQUENT-LY

With God and his word first, all your needs and desires
A mate, that unconsciously makes those old loves seem like time-invested, not wasted, for a bigger payout…a blessing!
Man and Woman in Matrimony are seen as one by the Almighty. So enjoy boo!
_______________________________

Through the loud mouths, selfish boyfriends, and intense workouts
Purposes are always endowed beforehand, revealed or not
Your response discovers your outcome and sometimes your strength
Anyone or anything that cosigns to your demise or endangers your salvation, LET GO!!
Nowadays, good looks can be bought so don’t cash in on that alone.
Pray!

Because Sub-sequently…

"Uncannable"

"Uncannable"

Volunteer enriched with dark skin mints
Housed in a platinum container, so rich and preeminent
Got female pups running up for pedigree so abruptly
The peculiarity can’t neutralize the particulars about me

Success surrounds my ankles, while haters stench like soles
And confidence befriends fear with real swift intros…
Introductions of my Father, you know…the rich one
Invincible and pure…laced with an incessant stun

He saves lives and can even retrieve a heart
Especially one like mine…broke, broken…seemingly apart
Instantaneous reassurance of my apparent “rare”ness attracts why bait
My intellect and class questions why waste an earthquake

I got plans, plans, plans, plans…
And yea you don’t involve them if still wearing cans
Wrapped in advance, sealed tight with only one real move
Need a tool to use and then a spoon to approve
Distaste, no taste, because you were pre-wrapped!

Yep, right now the gear is missing a shoe
And patience searches for the laces
But it’s only some Forces…you can get them by the cases!

Trapped

Trapped in something unforgivable, obviously untrue
But held so tightly by one for nearly two…
Years of clear & black assumed infidelity or love (what some call)
From a past due “cell” BKA the infamous separator but why stall?
Time supports essence and beautifies change
…because insurance is afar and I’m the closest in range?
Impossibility sits high fighting existence; at least that’s how I mask myself, knowing I can’t let go…
Go of the obvious, maybe unintended while devilish actions intervene...
On my place in your life, small but habitual, clearly unclean
Help? Yes, you need it more so than freedom because outsiders secretly creep inside
…knowingly but closed eyed on why lights bleed darkness right next your heart;
Time supports essence and beautifies change
…while my patience boxes with the mechanism of life
Success is imprisoned and age is useless, it’s 10 years behind…no lie
Who, What, When, and Why…why…why…
My face has served as a bumper too long and time isn’t enough for being…
Stuck here, hypnotized by the second hand and controlled by the first…
Remember that “Cold is Cool for Me”…love, hunger, thirst

~Dominique C.Cooper

Thoughts a flow…

Laced in sugar sweets
Nappy hearts, words bitter keep
A discrete make to move, so fast, slow weeps

Dressed in a white gown, veiled in brown syrup
Life is a grimy slip, covered by blessings on heard
Herd-less, I should say, because grasping is like jello pudd
As only the isolated one, crowd-less seeker accomplish no THOUGHTS could…

Imagine how skies float under my shoes when I touch beyond the sky
Only to realize, to manifest the works of the GUY
Not to deviate, but water just a flow, flow…flows
As the words harmonize together out dat do

Purpose you ask, what do you say…can’t reach ya?
Expressions of an “on-high” English teacher
A bit more complex, too instantaneous to stick hard
Concentration, sense, and even logic locks – barred!

Questions to the oldest, myself – me
To challenge my love with insecurity
Only the thoughts tho…”no efforts necessary”
Can’t let this love lose to a game’s victory
