Rodney Dufault

We've all this blood passing through our ventricles
snaking through our bodies just like tentacles.
Without heart's our brain's are only vegetables,
and the language of love would be unintelligible.
...

I just want to move on,
and be rid of the pain;
Now that my youth's gone,
and I'll be a kid not again.
...

You are the only one for me and you always have been.
What you have done to me I never thought could happen.
You found a way under me; Broke through my substratum.
I had destroyed me utterly, but you raised me a fathom.
...

It's been a really long time,
but now I've got back my flow;
Like a wolf where I belong. Prime;
Within a full moon and its afterglow.
...

When I wake up in the morning
my first thought is of you.
If you're not there beside me
I do not know what to do.
...

I find inspiration
from without, from within.
Situations I've been placed in
made me doubt I could win.
...

If time is the enemy
then rhyme is the remedy;
Every line has the energy
to shine, but don't censor me.
...

I write these rhymes with such minimal effort
that you could say that I'm a syllable expert.
My topics range from my ugly criminal record
to things more strange like unpredictable weather;
...

Just when I think I know it all something always makes me humble.
I have to tear down all these walls before they slowly crumble.
I was in the dark for the long haul but I no longer want to fumble,
I know now it was the wrong call, please forgive me and let me love you.
...

Today, my sole intention is to open your eyelids,
so you can see the world from the dimension that I did.
The inventions of my descension into bloody violence
and an honorable mention to my ascension from all the silence.
...

I awoke from my death, crawled from the lowliest depths,
and with the lonliest breath, I called for the only caress
that even remotely impressed to fill the hole in my chest,
and you came through the cold just to hold me abreast.
...

If I awake and you're there then life is grand,
so why do I feel naked and bare and time just stand?
I can't fake it; I care, but I can't unwind the sand.
I can't take it! I share, but don't quite understand.
...

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you
Without doing more so that you could be rescued
From tyranny, leaving all those guards to molest you.
It was in my heart, but I could do naught to protect you.
...

Someday we too will move on,
and find out exactly what this death is,
but for now our love is too strong,
and who'll be first? I want no guesses.
...

I don't be blastin' no techs/ or even cashin' no checks/ but I'm having passionate sex/ with the only woman who can handle my ass you can bet/ layin' kisses down the back of her neck/ and if I had to rate our life, It'd have to be X/ we're like rabbits, I jest/ so let's just go back and reset/ back to when our two dumb asses had met/ and some of the mistakes we made were tragic at best/ but we pulled through anyways, like magic. We're blessed/ It's hard to contain this love even in this massive a chest/ I sometimes feel my mind unfastened, a mess/ and you're right there asking why I'm sad and distressed/ when I find myself thinkin' of when I was an assassin of flesh/ and I've gone back to unrest/ you fire me back up like a dragon with breath/ and the best thing about that is I never had to ask you for this.
...

I've survived just like the rest of you folks.
Survived the damned man who made me, a joke.
Survived being choked and smoking that coke.
Survived being broke and the harshest words spoke.
...

I dreamt one night of losing you.
I do not know to what or whom.
I know my dream was most untrue
for losing you I will not do.
...

I love a girl who loves me not,
but God knows my persistance.
While she seeks for what she has sought
I will sadly keep my distance.
...

You will always be a part of me,
my heart, my mind and soul,
and I will love you for eternity
throughout my life in whole.
...

One last time I say to you
'my love for you won't end',
while every night I pray that you
will always be my friend.
