When I Lie Next to You (Louis Toliver Jr-Swartz, LA)

God, when I am lying next to you There is no safer place on this earth I forever will do as you ask me to do You value everything that I’m worth I like the way your body warms me Your soft touches make me smile The gaze of your eyes makes me see That you protect me from anything vile God, when I am lying next to you My spirit transcends my precious time I forever will do as you ask me to do I witness my love through this rhyme Your voice so soft, your smell so sweet You are the taste of my enemies defeat

Take My Hand (Jason Smith-Lafayette, LA)

Take my hand, Come and walk with me trough this never ending land. Let me take you on a journey that includes only me and you. Let me give you a love that you know is true. Give me the time to show you my heart, To know that I have been real right from the start. Give your time...give me an ear, Let me show you that I have no fear. In a time of misfortune; a time of despair, Let me show you that I will always be there. I will give you my heart... I will give you my soul... All that is within me completely and whole. A best friend...a lover...a husband I can be, Just show me your heart and let me know that you will never leave. I will walk beside you and watch your dreams come true, I will give you the strength to help you see them trough. Anything you wish from me can belong to you, Just give me your love...just show me that it’s true.

Get Outta My Face (Louis Toliver Jr-Swartz, LA)

Calling all bullshitters You need babysitters Fake Take No give I rather live Than waste my time On a silly mime Don't think cause your not around I won't toss your shit in lost-n-found Get outta my face I'll spray your fake smile with mace Scrub Shrub Rub-a-dub-dub Bitch, get in the tub Bathe, rinse, repeat Wash your hands before you touch my meat Get outta out my face Queen says "you got mud in your face, a big disgrace" I don't need no drama From someone that looks like a llama

What?! (Adam John Schexnayder-Crowley, LA)

Isn't it an oxymoron?? That everyone's reality is truth but not everyone's truth is a reality. Marching to the beat of a 9-to-5 with the rhythm of a stay-at-home mom. Life is only relative to circumstance. But don't make your circumstance your conclusion. Live to die another day, but die to live another day. How can we be so many things and nothing at the same time?? A mid-winters nightmare can be another persons midnight summer's dream. Yet, all the while we are changing by staying the same. And when I thought I had it all figured out, I got my red-penned essay back: "Nice try." The words so taunting. As if I didn't know that already. Relativity is the key to survival. But who needs to survive when reality is not truth??

I am a Phoenix (Louis Toliver Jr-Swartz, LA)

When I am faced with a challenge that burns my soul I ignite I am a phoenix I rise each time to that of my age’s potential and then fall I crumble I am a phoenix What appears the be weakness my ashes turn to strength I rebuild I am a phoenix My colors are beautiful as the sun magnifies my second rise I fly high I am a phoenix

Together at Last (Jason Smith-Lafayette, LA)

We have been through thick and thin, But I knew we would be together in the end. When you love someone as deep as I you, You never give up with the pursuit. We will be happier then two people should, I will never give you pain it will always be good. I will try to be the mate you need, I will always be your man and never leave. When we take our wedding vows, I will be with you through all the trails. You are my soul mate this is the truth, I hope I have given you all the proof. I will love and cherish you till the end of time, I am so happy and thankful that you are mine.
