L.o.V.E. II

Compilations from a Don

Life as a villain comes with its own thrill.

I’ve learned to own it over time. The pain and the pleasure share the same stage, and I no longer pretend they don’t. I still charge it to the game.

These days, I don’t gamble with my time. I drop a dime quicker than a bad habit and grow more generous with the gift of my absence. Still, when I lend my ears, I hear stories — confessions wrapped in circumstance, longing masked as understanding.

The streets are cold. We fold when the clothes come off. I learned how to see through the wool, to read intention without waiting for proof. You could say these confessions became case studies — chapters in a curriculum I never asked to enroll in.

With love in the air and L.o.V.E in the streets, keeping it real speaks louder than declarations ever could. Sometimes silence carries more truth than promises. Let your lore live long. All is still fair in love and war. Game is game.

The ghost of Phondeaux still haunts. Let this compilation keep you sound through Valentine’s season — sweet where it can be, sad where it must be, honest all the way through.

Enjoy loudly. Stay sound.
