Love by Talile Ali
It always get's me into trouble
it always fills me with awe
being most remarkable
cherished
roses in the fall
i am so young to the truth of it still
i want to embrace and drink
but my pride really reeks
to stubborn to humbly crawl
blacked fruit of a summer swollen sun
withered branches aching in
fear being recognized and cast aside
withdrawing...
the fool is in
love

Dancing With Angels
couldn't get any worse
oh what a mess
the babe i once loved
has finally confessed
she told her old man
how much she loved me
and now they're both dead
so much the pity
dancing with angels
playing around
moments of pleasure
seldom are found
so many people
so many ways
lovin each other
til our dying days

corporate mind....by Talile Ali
we move around
and do our jobs
and return home
just lucky slobs
we pay our bills
when we get paid
occasionally
we get laid
they own our souls
and all we do
corporate mind
for me and you
automaton's
we're on our way
making the world
a plundered decay

too many...by Talile Ali
too many lovers
too many friends
too many starts
too many ends
can't find a meter
can't catch a rhyme
the worlds sold beneath her
as she unwind's
desolation in
a valintine of curse
know it's her time
to dine something worse
ignorance and bliss
walk hand in hand
and court each other well
try to understand

Claire...by Talile Ali
in on a wind
tossed from the clouds
always correct
never allowed
to be heard by everyone she loved on earth
roots so deep
beyond the clay
praying for light
bleeding for pay
from labor without recognition and ashamed
will there ever be a view
from her blistered, shattered room
of a life free of strife and decay
is it always meant to be
devoid of life and charity
leaching an existence on it's way

From Above by Talile Ali
Sitting in the stands
watching the show
the music was loud
the action was slow
then you walked in
two kids in your hands
curls were a bouncing
i'm in a trance
should have been different
don't really know
can't help this feeling
and it still grows
don't say a word
just walk away
only the image
of that perfect day
where i was sitting
feeling this love
so was my feeling
up from above

The Fire Within by Talile Ali
caught in the echo
of what was and could be
never discover
the best thats in me
always so cautious
seldom to do
trapped in the vision
all tatered and blue
times of a prison
lynched by the law
strange fruit has risen
with the paw paw
laugh loud as thunder
shatters the wall
poluted judgements
so seldom recalled
high in the weather
the wind has a yen
embracing the people
the fire within

GRINNED...by talile ali
GRINNED
TEMPERED BY WATER
WEATHERED BY PAIN
GIVEN TO RAPTURE
AGAIN AND AGAIN
HALF WAY ROMANTIC
FOCUSED AND WELL BORN
DRENCHED DISASTER
OF SOMETHING SO TORN
NAILED IN THE SHOWER
DRENCHED AND AFLAMED
WET ALABASTER
DIDDLED TILL IT RAINED
MAKE IT SWELL NASTY
MAKE IT SWELL GOOD

Dirty Brown Leaves And Windy Dreams by Talile Ali
kick up your feet and smell the air
full of moisture, fungus, and dust
take off your shoes and reflect
as the air washes out the must
pretty women walking in the distance
chatting about this and eating sprat
old people resting in the shadows
children laughing at being rats
sip of water, hint of melon
garbage floating in the stream
remarkable blessings flow around
dirty brown leaves and windy dreams
