He walked alone for some time cause he was scared and tired
A wary riser - Where he hibernated, there the sky-burned
Dreamed of beauty he would be with in a fairer life-first
But there he finds her - Brighter that his pair of eyes-hurt
It's like his glare required more than just him wearing visors
He swears he likes her - Finer than the karats by her
Her mind works - Righter when compared to sires
She's the heir to shires - The queen he wouldn't spare a lie f'r
He'd wipe-dirt off the ground before her feet were where it might-lurk
Defined her as perfection writers couldn't dare decipher
She's far beyond their thoughts and what they all declare is minor
With just a strand her hair inspires every prayer in choirs
And he's aware of mires growing from the careless liars
But beware the fighter in him till his chair's beside-hers
Making up the royal kingdom that his lair aspires
Great and what her loyalty is what he carries like her
He knows it's now impossible to see his care retire
He shows her how the heart he holds is what she'll cherish wiser
The rare provider of a sweetness over cherries, riper...
Than the pears and ciders perished by-thirst that she bears inside her
It's why they're only staring higher like the stairs of hikers
Alike as merit rhymers watching all despair expire
And he's prepared to dine her, fly her to the Paris spires
To spoil who he worships being debonair and quite-worth
More than life itself - She's his solitaire but nicer
Living rich with happiness the billionaires admire
He lifts her where she tries-skirts - Her kisses smear his white shirt
Romantic air igniters, they begin to tear attires
The sin as near to vipers, they persist to square as biters
The grips are married tighter as their skins affair perspires
They live to share desires that could lift the flare in fires
The perfect pair forever more, it is the Bear and Tiger

This shit was dope....I could already see where you were going. Nice set up for the backdrop.
It's like his glare required more than just him wearing visors
He swears he likes her - Finer than the karats by her
Her mind works - Righter when compared to sires
She's the heir to shires - The queen he wouldn't spare a lie f'r
^^Loved the midevil vibe and the articulate rhyme scheme.
He'd wipe-dirt off the ground before her feet were where it might-lurk
Defined her as perfection writers couldn't dare decipher<---this line was sick in abstract imagery
She's far beyond their thoughts and what they all declare is minor
With just a strand her hair inspires every prayer in choirs
And he's aware of mires growing from the careless liars
^^I dug how you interlocked the concept for both lines....Nice!
But beware the fighter in him till his chair's beside-hers
Making up the royal kingdom that his lair aspires
Great and what her loyalty is what he carries like her
He knows it's now impossible to see his care retire<---emotion is pulled off with precision.
He shows her how the heart he holds is what she'll cherish wiser
The rare provider of a sweetness over cherries, riper...
Than the pears and ciders perished by-thirst that she bears inside her
LOL!! That was dope!!
It's why they're only staring higher like the stairs of hikers
Alike as merit rhymers watching all despair expire
And he's prepared to dine her, fly her to the Paris spires
^^ I liked the stairs of hikers phrase and the "Fly her to the Paris spires" phrase too.
To spoil who he worships being debonair and quite-worth
^^debonair.....now thats a word I never see used.....a soft descriptive word which added to this piece makes it exquisite 
More than life itself - She's his solitaire but nicer
Man....if you would have fucked around and somehow incorporated playing cards or card game imagery....that "Solitaire" moment would have been tremendously untouchable. Still awsome tho.
Living rich with happiness the billionaires admire<---lovin it
He lifts her where she tries-skirts - Her kisses smear his white shirt
Romantic air igniters, they begin to tear attires
The sin as near to vipers, they persist to square as biters
The grips are married tighter as their skins affair perspires
They live to share desires that could lift the flare in fires
The perfect pair forever more, it is the Bear and Tiger
Standing ovation for the lyrical OM skill and ability!!Clap

Very, very different than the three other topicals. I can't even comment on the technical aspects cause this was ridiculous as you already know. Chain's post basically sums up all that. Really loved the last 4 lines too. 

Also, this bar was so smooth, crazy good:

Chain: I laughed too loudly for this late at night here. Damn that gif. I appreciate you checking it out, man. Glad to see you still here. And please, writer of writers? Says the writer of writers of writers.

Que: Awesome breakdown, man. Thanks for taking the time and thanks for the feed. Haha, that one "medieval" section, Lord of the Rings literally randomly popped in my head as I was writing.

Kay B: Although appreciated, I beg to differ, dude. I got plenty reason with the way you all captured the topical essence.

Titu: Thank you, man. Glad you're feeling it. 

Spume: Thanks, dude. Appreciate the words...proper enough feed for me, heh.

Nitty: If it's your true and honest opinion, I can't be mad at all, man. I've written for too many years now to receive opinions too negatively. The "dickriders" thing is unnecessary though. I wish I could do audio unless cell phone quality is welcomed, haha. One thing I will defend though is this...don't misunderstand me knowing what Hip Hop is...it's one of my biggest loves. I think stuff like this is exactly the versatility Hip Hop is missing nowadays. Appreciate you checking it out though, man.

U.N.L.M.: Thank you, man. Agreed...I'm humbled that this was received as well as it has been compared to how superbly Kay, Duzt and Stalin delivered their pieces. I'm glad seeing as it's also quite personal since it's inspired by my lady.

Than the pears and ciders perished by-thirst that she bears inside her

OK after reading all 4 drops.. I'm just going to come out and say it. You should take this hands down free.
You had all factors going for you in this piece.. the imagery, vocab, wordplay, multi.. I mean from beginning to end was flawless IMO!!!
Very addicting read from you!!!

I'm always a fan of good imagery, and this piece has some of the best. This whole stanza

He knows it's now impossible to see his care retire
He shows her how the heart he holds is what she'll cherish wiser
The rare provider of a sweetness over cherries, riper...
Than the pears and ciders perished by-thirst that she bears inside her
It's why they're only staring higher like the stairs of hikers
Alike as merit rhymers watching all despair expire
And he's prepared to dine her, fly her to the Paris spires

Blew me right the fuck away. One of the best pieces I've seen on LA. Congratulations.

Welcome back man. I missed reading your pieces.

There was a tremendous amount of vivid imagery in your lines, matched with accurate use vocab makes this piece what it is. Very descriptive and smooth through out the whole the piece
There are only a hand full of kats on here that I really enjoy reading. Now that your back doing it, it adds one more.

Verses like this ARE whats missing in hip hop these days.

Turtle: I really appreciate your feed, Turtle. Glad that you liked it and see it that way. Relieved to see those 2 lines were quoted again, as well. I was hoping they didn't come out as forced as I would've thought. Appreciate the supportive words as well, man.

FuckButter: Haha, thanks for the congratulatory comment. Greatly appreciated that you think that as well about it being one of the best since there are numerous, untouchable classics throughout this site I wouldn't dare try to compare myself with, hehe. Thanks, man.

Flossaurus: Thanks, man. Appreciate you taking the time to check it out.

Lucky D: Lucky! Been centuries seeing you, man. Glad to see you still around. Appreciate the feedback, man. Looking forward to seeing you drop as well. Hope the fam is well, too.

I was feelin it. Only touch you could possible make is adding diversity into your rhyme scheme; you kinda just carried that one the entire way. You managed to sound good, but some people aren't that receptive to that style, hence that retard saying it's not rap lol. Keep it up though man.

Don't see many drops of the caliber anymore, sir. Delicious rhymescheme and seamless flow throughout telling an entertaining story littered with literary devices all in the meanwhile using the same multies throughout. I applaud this verse, have read through it a few times and it's one of the top reads I've seen on this site. The topical challenge was filled with consistently high level drops, so forming a verse that clearly stands above them is commendable, well done.
