Letter 2 Ma Dukez

Turning words to pictures
Seeing a rose that withers
Psalms read in scriptures
Twisting up these swishers

Liquor in my liver
Sitting alone by a river
Thinking how much I miss you
Body's cold with shivers

Wish to be where you were
My heart's been missing slivers
Why can't you come home
I faced this decade alone

Oh yeah I gotta son
You and him would've had fun
My shoulders hold tons
I feel like I fly too close to the sun

I thank you for listening
Even though there's silence
VV's dancing and glistening
Reminiscing for guidance

Your smile lit up the universe
Can't believe you were in a hearse
Can this life get any worse
Tears fall writing this verse

You missed my graduation
I saw you in my imagination
I tried to further my education
But I got into situations

Would you be disappointed
Tried to cleanse and get anointed
Instead I tatted my canvas
You left and my love vanished

Crazy how fast life happens
Open wounds left to be brandished
You returned to the essence
Every year I miss your presence

The time we shared was a blessing
You're in heaven no longer stressing
Forever your Baby Boy
Early years filled with joy

Dad's with a heavy heart
Losing his Queen ripped him a part
Seeing you on that corner
Laugh and smile with each order

Community mourns a legend
Years start to feel like seconds
Why does it happen so fast
Grateful to see twenty-seven

Why do good things never last
Need answers for what's questioned
Confessing sins to a reverend
Many storms I had to weather

Wanting wrists to get severed
So we can end up together
God called home my Mother
Look to clouds to see you hover

Talking to you about my Brother
Nigel face battles to recover
We ain't communicating
This news is devastating

I'm losing people that I love
I'm down below they're up above
Nigel needs you more than ever
I tried to show him life's better

Show him music endeavors
I thought our bond was forever
Family dynamics changed
And my love feels so strained

That's a part of the game
My chest is inked with your name
Music is how I numb the pain
Sun shines I still feel the rain

Time's just a fleeting moment
Read the Bible for atonement
But that provides little solace
Momma I'm just being modest

Life has twists and turns
Gave gifts and still got burns
You gotta live and learn
And work hard for what you earn

Circle of life that returned
And now it's my turn
Raising my son into a man
Wishing I had more of a plan

I guess we go with the flow
Learning as both of us grow
That's how you and Dad did it
Seems like life isn't scripted

Gotta take the good with the bad
The happiness mixed with the sad
Years pass and it's never easy
Holidays got me feeling queasy

Moments I knew from the heart
Unconditional love from the start
Momma's a true work of art
I wish this life can restart

But that's the beauty of it all
When you gotta answer God's call
Our understanding seems small
Maybe we're the angels that fall

Momma I love you forever
Seal my love into this letter
