Lucky

Luckily this page permeates places your words could never reach

Luckily the day you spoke my writing never ceased

Luckily I speak, I write, I read, and yes I speech

Luckily Spoken Word was never my defeat

But yours

Luckily these pages flow

Words with endless places to go

Never stymied

By lack of promo

Or attendance 

To lackluster events

See 

You aint nothing 

But a wanna be rapper

While my pages stay with the audience forever

Opening books always led to bigger things

While speaking, 

While sultry, 

Enticing

Even,

Never everlasting

Luckily with this pen to page

You could feel my rage

For moments

For days

For weeks

Months,

For ages

Luckily the words I put on paper 

Pressed 

Bound between two

Cardboard covers

Make my work a family heirloom

A classroom staple

A library’s treasure

See what’s spoken is lost in translation

In one ear 

Out the other

Remembered the best of their ability

But soon forgotten

Discarded 

When the next catchy 

Rhythmic 

New artist

Steps to the stage

But this poet 

Will forever be etched in the page.  

Luckily this page permeates places your words could never reach

Luckily the day you spoke my writing never ceased

Luckily I speak, I write, I read, and yes I speech

Luckily Spoken Word was never my defeat

But yours.
