Quiet Poetry Lounge : A Lil’ Piece

[Roxanne]

I was looking
For a little peace
Only got a portion
Sometimes a little bliss
Is blinded
By a man
His tongue kiss
Demanding a little piece
Apprehending
Your little peace of mind
Depending
On what piece you find
The piece
That stays home all day
To play out all night
Or the piece
That cums at sunset
Is peace out by sunlight
Fragments of peace
Are just
Pieces to a puzzle
A little peace don't fit to
A little peace
Can't survive
Around other pieces
Pulling it's
Peacefulness down
Somebody elses
Piece of man
Mean he ain't mine
I was looking for
A little peace
I only got a portion
The peace
I got only stayed
A piece
Of the time required
A little peace
Ain't enough
To sit back
Smoke rings
On a peace pipe
I closed my eyes to enjoy
My peace
Opened them
To find you had stole
My peace
Wasn't nothing
Left for you to steal
Accept my piece
Of a little peace
When I
Got off my knees
In prayer
I was looking
For the last peace I had
It kept me celibate
Realized
I had sold it
For a piece of ***
That asked me
To get back
On my knees
A high price I paid
For a peace
That didn't last
No more than a piece
Of forty-five minutes
I was looking for
A little peace
Only got a portion

When I found
A little piece
I put one bullet
In the chamber
Didn't know if
I was going
To do homicide
Or suicide
For me to have
A little peace
I put one bullet
In the chamber
Your clique
My clique
Your clique
My clique
A little peace
Can't stop no war
Just a portion
Last time we talked
You only heard
The pieces you wanted to
Last time I listened
You only talked
About my piece
Which was just a portion
Last time I was willing
To piece it together
Nobody was talking
Although
There was silence
It wasn't peace
So….
What piece
Don't you understand?
The peace
Of me that loves ?
Or
The piece
Of me that hates?
.......It's just a portion

You don't
Want a piece of this!

You don't
Want a peace of this!
......It's just a portion

I was looking for
A little piece of mine
To give me
A little peace of mind
But If the piece
I gave you
Ain't the peace
You need
Can you
Give me back
My portion?
I only got
A little piece......
Peace​

when it cum to a piece and really getting peace from what is delt can be a real drifter

 

[baller]

pieces of peace...

so much of our time
is compartmentalized
into smaller portions of WAIT
so, i can relate to this REQUEST
for a small piece of PEACE
at least
tomorrow brings the hope
of new beginnings
though...opportunities for new endings
sometimes get in the way
coz of the games we play
but...hey

WE HOPE FOR THE BEST

ENJOYED.

let the river flow.

Roxanne - I applaud your poetic craftsmanship. The interplay of words was done seamlessly without infringing on the meaning of those words. Only the deft hand of a poet can write it and the deft talent of the poet create it. Well done Roxanne. Loved it. Namyh

 

[Da Street So'ja]

yes

when you're giving your all and you're getting back things in piecemeal
it could lead to taking you there

When I found
A little piece
I put one bullet
In the chamber
Didn't know if
I was going
To do homicide
Or suicide

when it comes to this point you've given too much with no return

run shorten the menu and preserve yourself

piece



peace
