Who see things that nobody else can see… can hear things no one else can.

Poems
“The Immortal Muse”
A Muse will never die
Immortalized in sacred waves
Her life and light conveyed
In every painting, every page
Every stroke and every note
Of any song I ever wrote
This cold wet dungeon echoes my thoughts
Circling Vultures prepare to feed
On the corpse of every idea
That I’ve never dared to breathe
And then… there’s you
With all your darkness and your splendor
Awakening my subconscious
With every word and every gesture
In your presence, I stay still.
Absorbing all I can
You pick apart my inner child
With every movement of your hand
There are parts of me you’ll never see
Cause that would make me real
The insecurities that drive me
The pain that I conceal
With every Muse, I’ve ever had
A different part of me is freed
Enchanted lands I roam for miles
Witnessing Beauty I can’t conceive
I approach a Forbidden Ocean
Exotic shells line its shores
Every shell is like your body
Harboring deep, a Divine source
I meet a piece of my Creator
When I see you. When we speak
She commands me to release my thoughts
To go find the strength I seek
You see… a Muse just cannot die
Immortalized in sacred waves
Her life and light conveyed
In every painting. Every page.
-G.Be

“No Bars”
My love is such a prison that you can’t escape,
Even though the door is open, you cannot find your way,
Remaining in this cell that you share with other inmates,
Sharing horror stories, never drama, only mistakes.
I feed you now and then, just enough to keep you thick,
I take from you, to feed the beast, this cycle is fuckn sick.
From this cell, I have my picks,
I take and return at will.
You once escaped but could not replace the way that I make you feel,
It’s better in this cell you say,
The World is different to you now.
I taught you light, then showed you darkness.
Neither can you do without.
They fed you empty compliments,
Fake affection, his possession.
But i shared your pain and gave you mine,
I let you breathe, I Kept you guessing.
There are no chains to hold you here,
And that’s what makes you stay.
This beautiful pain & unbearable pleasure keeps you confused & drained.
There is no lock, I have no key to release you from this jail.
But here you stay, forever and ever,
Within this barless cell. -G.Be. #GenesisBe
“The Pull”
I’m like a planet dodging meteors.
Some enter my atmosphere and pass right on through without touching me. Just caught in my gravitational pull for some time.
Others crash into me and have an impact on my life. Losing sight of their own life in the process.
Some just float in a constant rhythm in my gravitational pull, we never collide, but we see each other and effect each other at times.
I wonder if I’ll ever be the meteor, instead of the Planet -G.Be. #GenesisBe
“Divine”
The closest we will come to divinity
Your hand in mine
My mind a blank slate
Stuck in that state
Before I knew the World I know
Back when things were new, simple And sweet -G.Be #GenesisBe
“Lovers”
And we’ll face the darkness together, as lovers, as friends. Engaged in laughter, hand in hand. Using our words & smiles, we will make our mark. Our back to the depressed, yet our hands extended to them. You and I. Have work to do. Me and you…
-G.Be. #GenesisBe
“Fort Knox”
_____| |___| |_____
Out of the Norm. Form.
She is made from granite. Ingrained. INSIDE.
Society where she is…Commody.
Possession is the GoD.
Love without ownership is Foreign. Unconditional love is €nknown.
Most struggle to understand.
TRUE power, it’s hidden deep within her stone.
I saw her once, without her mask.
Her past… and her pain Forgot.
Been blinded since.
From her creation to her implantation, follow closely as she grows.
Soul sent to aid the child that creates the man.
Nurture the seeds, without being poisened.
Such a demand.
I saw her once… lately twice.
No guards up. No Walls up. No Fort Knox.
A Goddess in disguise.
So convincing… that she herself,
forgot her true form.
Molded from granite. Ingrained
-G.Be. #GenesisBe
“Cryptic”
I set the night on fire,
Just woke up to the ashes.
Flying high on life,
Until it crashes
Love notes scribbled sloppy,
She will never see em.
Prolly couldn’t even read em.
My hieroglyphics are cryptic.
To anyone who is listenin…
Love deep, fight hard
To preserve your vision.
-G.Be. #GenesisBe
“Paramour”
Climb your walls
Demolish mine
Lips to your palms
Tracing our journey
Past pain never Dies
But I’ll tell you it Does
So that I can come
Inside your Walls
I Crumble when you smile
The weight of your touch
Pushes me deep
Uncharted waters
Together we seek a different way
To Love, to Live, to Let Go
My young heart knows the Mysteries
Some seek for a Lifetime
I’ll show you. Close your eyes
Fold your arms. Block your heart from me.
Feel my hands, so slow and guided
Feel my Lips
Heaven compressed to 2 inches of flesh
Now open
Embrace me.
Engage me
in a battle of Lust. And as we Fight
Our pain combines, Crashes,
Lashes Out at each other
I’ll pull out all of your fears and present them to you along with mine.
We work, I’ll work you, every inch of you
Until they wash away in the flood you provide
My paramour
Our moonlit adventures are fit for a storybook
Content am I, between your pages
-Genesis Be xo

Untitled
When your passive aggression,
Turns to oppression, you lessen,
Your chance to become my extension,
My chance to remain your protection,
From a World disturbed and infected,
A World that warps our perception,
With no recollection
You neglect your intuition
To the point of no forgiveness
As young geniuses we Livin’
On the fringes of existence.
Face to the Light
Our feet on the Fire
Burnt Foundation
Holding up a Million voices of Doubt.
Your anger destroys you more than they do
More than they can
When will you learn?
When will I?
-G.Be xoxo
