Embers

Embers

Two courtesans stand watch over the room,

First, a graceful dancer lithe like a loon,

And then a tin stranger, her stoic groom.

Silently he stares at his true love's face,

Thinking wondrous things of that little waif.

Again, his shy smiles grace her rose blush,

While he stands at his post, flush!

But an errant wind gives flight to her feet,

"Help!" she screams, removed from her seat.

Winter's capricious gust, leads her astray,

Into the hearth where embers play.

Paper crinkles and rose blush smears,

As the soldier exclaims. "I come, my dear."

So the tin man falls, sealing his fate,

Meeting his love, in the fire's grate.

Now wood is burning, as is tin,

Tears and sadness, masked in Inferno's kiln.

This was a final goodbye, but also a first hello,

Breaking the fury's sorrow with a warming glow.

Outside no one watches these melting hearts,

That shall nevermore, be kept apart.

Raps by the N.B.F.M.

One:

Pretend for moment That I'm really legit,

Reppin' I-hood and giving rappers fits.

Dropping sick rhymes and groovin' to the beat,

People saying that the kid is ridicuosly street.

Never had to scuffle to make it to the top,

Never had to struggle to make my rhymes pop.

Then memberin' the things going so bad,

Praises come and went, left feelin' like a fad.

I'm all alone, wihout a single friend,

Joys ain't coming, so I gotta pretend.

Head hurtin' so I try a ball game swish,

Air ball, so thinkin' and waitin' for a wish.

and Two:

BFM, the name is what you gonna be feelin'

Don't dribble close cuz I be stealin',

Ball games, your girl, anything I seein'

You can't stop me, Cuz i'm in position,

To take over the world, one game at time,

Dude's be trippin', chick's sayin' im fine.

But they ain't frontin', they ain't lyin'

My sick rhymes got other rapper's cryin'.

Before you get on, stop and think for minute,

You'll get your chance, now juss lemme finish.

Came into the world, with 'Tucky on top,

Now running with The Wall, dimes on the drop,

Anything you can do, I can do better,

Like Em said in 8Mile, im runnin' with chedda.

So when they say they game me, I say let 'em

They'll try their best, and then get all fed up.

We'll see who stays on top of this lil rap mountian,

I'm the Niagara falls, baby you're just a fountain.

When you bridge falls down and you be drownin'

Come see me flyin high and start my clownin'.
