Fresh out the box
Fresh out the box by Richard Perez
We are… fresh out the box. Her flesh has got me love drunk like scotch on the rocks. She’s dressed so stunning, she stops the tick tock on the clocks. Tick tock tick tock tick… dot dot dot, and it stops. So hot hot hot, and she’s got me feeling feverish. When I see her it’s like love at first sight, but over and over. I just want to show her that it’s she...

Dancing Soul
Dancing Soul by Richard Perez
Tough… I know it gets, but no regrets. The glow is red in my eye, but I’m ready and the show is set. No more lies. I go instead to the values of more respect. No more doubt. No more pity. I drive the same route to the city where my soul sets free. May the earth forget me. At times, a soul only needs one other, no more than she, drifting together so gorgeously. My...

Tough
Tough by Richard Perez
I’ve been tripping. Sinning off of the conditions I’ve been in. Lying on the same linens, feeling unwilling to limit my limits’ effects on me. Eventually, my feet have to essentially stand on the ground independently. My soul judges my brain, condescendingly. I’m in the red. I’m in the wrong. And in my head, it’s been too long to go back. My flow’s wack with negativity, and...

Really Cool
Really Cool by Richard Perez
You’ve got eyes that kill, like ice they chill my bones. The tone of your voice might steal my heart that passionately feels these emotions so real. But truthfully, I feel ill. How does one deal with a love not sealed by a kiss? This isn’t a free meal on a dish. This is how a cut feels on the wrist. I could be healed by a wish come true. I’m really that one who falls...

Gorgeous Addiction
Gorgeous Addiction by Richard Perez
Twists and turns of turning hips, and burning lips. Tell me. How can fire feel so moist? My blood rejoices and boils to every touch of her body as she coils around my own. Friction in a love story, never fiction, and I’m fixated on this adventure. This expedition of my gentle propositions replied with her permission to clench her hands with mine. And her grasp...

Spoken Word
Spoken Word by Richard Perez
My style has a few but not many metaphors, I think that’s better for me because I like forming phrases that raises the level of my own poetry, even if there isn’t necessarily a greater meaning. So higher I can reach when it comes to the flyer words of speech. Don’t visualize what I’m saying just listen. I individualize my phrasing, no precondition. I like rhyming,...

The Creation of a New Emotion
The Creation of a New Emotion by Richard Perez
We lock eyes for only half a second. But as for the message, I get it. Likewise, she gets mine. I must say that this time, I got to meet this girl who’s this fly. So we both glance once more, just for confirmation. It’s confirmed, and we smile with no hesitation. Our eyes lock again, but for a longer duration. And as we stare we walk towards each...

Intro to One Night Beauty
Intro to One Night Beauty (for spoken word) by Richard Perez
Her elegance is effortless. Her presence is evidence of the existence of a greater being because what I’m seeing causes me to be needing a prayer. Save the praying for later because I can’t wait for an answer. What do I say to her? Whatever words come out of my mouth, I hope they are laced with divine intervention because in regards to...

One Night Beauty
One Night Beauty by Richard Perez
She lies with me underneath my blankets, a beautiful girl that’s nameless. I feel shameless. Both of us blameless as our bodies lie adjacent to each other, slightly overlapped. Repeatedly our bodies clap. Her assets I tap into. Our stares are ever so sinful. Her eyes seem multifaceted, reflecting the moonlight into newly created colors. Usually you can call us...

The story of how we met
The story of how we met by Richard Perez
The experience of her appearance causes an adherence of my eyes to hers. Butterflies stir in my stomach as they yearn to fly out between the lips of my dropped jaw just to catch a glimpse of what I saw. The feeling’s raw, and time pauses for what feels like an eternity. I hope it will be, but reality settles again as she moves closer to me. Nervously, I’m...

Rave
Rave by Richard Perez
Snare and electrical distortion resonate through a festival that’s enormous. There’s a silence before it. How can they control this? The crowd is moving to the thundering uprise of sound that’s loud but soothing. I am construing the noise to a visual that soon becomes physical in a night completely spiritual. The concept is simple. We long for a happiness that’s...

The Sentence on the Wall
The Sentence on the Wall by Richard Perez
Write a sentence on the wall The sentence The most important sentence of your life A sentence of meaning The sentence that you live by Or rather, you die by What would you use to write it? Pencil? Pen? Sharpie? Spray paint? Would you make it large enough for everyone to see? Or will it be impossible for anyone to find? Would you spend extra minutes to...
A Short Untitled Inspirational Poem
Untitled by Richard Perez
Live life honestly is my philosophy. I take my pain and make it a part of me. I raise my strength so no one’s on top of me. I don’t believe I’m better. I believe in equality. Climbing to the top is just how we ought to be. If you fall, fall like an autumn leaf. If not gently, at least fall on your feet, And get back up immediately.
(written 11/11/09)

The Genius
The Genius by Richard Perez
He was better than he was thought to be. When comparing him to others logically, he was probably a prodigy. The best there ever was, and that’s talking modestly. But he never heard how he ought to be so his qualities never got to be seen above the others. Instead he was blended in with all the other colors, and he became just a shade of gray on a thin canvas. He was a...

Dressing Room
Dressing Room by Richard Perez
No room for error As she grabs her keys and leaves the room of her dresser Spent two hours just looking at herself in the mirror She’s her only judge, nobody else can convince her That she’s worth more than the few hundred that she makes Worth more than the breasts and the ass that she shakes For the guy she looks for to take her back to his place To make...

Powerful
Powerful by Richard Perez
The collision course of my diction forces your ears into a condition where your mind tells them to listen to what I have to say. My mission is neither hypnotism nor your submission, but rather my words to penetrate surgically like an incision to your brain. I’m driven by my vision to change the world with my decision to express what I feel I must convey. Words are more...
