a couple of parkbench moments-

Time/ people/ multiplying/ footsteps/ crossing
Do they excel too fast for me to acknowledge the ever present beauty of simplicity?
Has humanity overlooked me
As it leaves paper trails of cash and receipts across a tormented dirty pavement,
now a non living earth too late for revival?
Is this abyss our basis for survival?
As the wondering wind blows tugging at the surface of my skin
I ponder the conception of this social genesis
Where cell phones rule over everyday communal interactions
Millions of media images swarming the night sky competing with divinitys stars like an ultra pixilated electric black hole
sweeping across a metropolis.
I long for the return of the morning
with visions of dreams still fresh at thought,
Yesterdays troubles rested on the bedpost
assuring that this is a new day
Life’s lurkin around the curtain waiting for me to unsquint my eyes
Praying for me to see more clearly
not just thru ocular lenses but thru the windows reflecting the visions inside
Where so easily I can find the words, in the perfect language, with the
perfect definition, intention, and auditory inflection to express my wanting to simply connect back
2 one.
& my soul can’t help but ask what can be sweeter than that?
…
In meditative response
I respire
Taking in one more breath of air as I contemplate
our parallel addiction to growth.
Just wanting to be up there
high as the wise trees that hover above me
I long to have a story to tell of my own
My dreams reflect my gratitude, my visions, and positive transformations in life
Wishing to express and record
I save words in loose leaf pocketbooks as chapter beginnings left open to never finish following the pattern of infinity
I hold my palms open to receive and to offer graceful inspiration
continuing a cycle of maintaining balance
And I am learning to help myself
Pennin’ better poems and following thru
my visions of light beyond curious darkness
aware of the beauty found in stars during a true night sky
balance pushes me closer to the horizon to realize that in moments the sun will rise and I must be ready
because who else will but me

LOVIN THE LOVE

Here's something I wrote a couple months back on this lil, fresh jazzy beat. Peace!!

VERSE ONE:
BEEN A LONG ASS TIME WHEN I STARTED WHAT WE HAD
WE WAS SHORTIES IN LOVE, YOUNG HIGH SCHOOL GRADS
COULDN’T OVERCOME THE FUTILE AND PETTY FIGHTS
ARGUMENTS, EGO TRIPS AND ME ALWAYS BEIN RIGHT
SOMETHIN SPECIAL SEEN IN HER SOUL
EVERYDAY GO THE DRAMA, YOU HAD THE STARRING ROLE
BUT THE BURNING FIRE BETWEEN US GOT TOO HOT
IM SORRY UR NOT- UR SORRY, IM NOT
MOVED ON, A BOND, DISMAL, DISTANT AND GONE
MILLION SUNRISES PASSED, A MILLION BREAKADAWNS
THO I KNEW INSIDE WE NEEDED YEARS APART
NOT AN END TO MY BEST FRIEND, SHE ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART
HAD TO DO UR THING, I DO MY THING
FUCKED AROUND WITH THE CONCEPT OF HAVING NO STRINGS
AND I DON’T REMEMBER HALF THEIR NAMES
COULDN’T CARE LESS WHEN THEY ALL ACTED THE SAME


VERSE TWO:
STILL KEPT YOU IN MIND AND I NEVER LET GO
HOPIN ONE DAY WE COULD CONTINUE OUR SHOW
LET ALL OF EARTH AND ALL OF MARS KNOW
ILL PUT ASIDE MY EGO SO WE CAN GROW
AND FINISH WHAT WAS ONCE DIMINISHED
TAHITI, ROME, PARIS, WE COULD TRY VENICE
NEW YORK, LA , OR STAY IN VALLEJO
SHOW U OFF OR SHUTTER THE UTTERS TO STAY LOW
IT DON’T MATTER WHERE WE ARE
ON EARTH, IN WIND, FIRE-SHE MY SHINING STAR
ANOTHER LEVEL, SOULS STAY PARALLEL
MY HEART GETTING CHOKED LIKE LATRELL SPREWELL
BUT IM LOVIN THE LOVE YOU GOT FOR ME
HOLD IT TIGHT ON EVERY ARTERY
ASHAME HOW OTHER FOOLS KEEP PASSIN YOU BY
NOT TO ME-DON’T WANT U ON THAT PHARCYDE
NO REASON TO FIGHT IT, NO REASON TO HIDE IT
EYES SHINE BRIGHT AND GOT ME BLINDSIGHTED
PILLOW TALK, DISCOVERIN YA SOUL AND LISTENIN
EYES CLOSED, YET THE RADIANCE IS STILL GLISTENIN


VERSE THREE:
PURELY POSSESED, LEAVIN A TRAIL OF TRANQUILITY
CAN’T LIVE WITH EM, CANT KILL EM BUT SHE FEELIN ME
AINT GON MISS THIS SECOND OPPORTUNITY
LETS BLOSSOM ETERNALLY SO WILLINGLY
YOU WORTH IT, LETS LET IT UNEARTHEN
MY PLAYER WAYS WASHED AWAY LIKE DETERGENT
TIME IS NOW, TAKE A SEAT ON YA THRONE
WEAR YA CROWN, HOLD IT AS YOUR OWN
LIGHTS FILL EVERY ROOM WITH YA PRESENCE
GIFTED BY GOD, EASILY GOT THE ESSENCE
OF SOMETHIN SO BEAUTIFUL SO SPECIAL
OUT OF THIS WORLD LIKE AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL
LIKE ET DID KIDS, YOU CAPTURED MY HEART
BRING OUT THE SUPERMAN LIKE LOIS AND CLARK
SHE LOVE MY HEROIC FLOW AND SWAG
ALWAYS A PLAYER? I GIVE HER THE WHITE FLAG


HOOK:
I’M LOVIN THE LOVE YOU GOT FOR ME
LET’S FLY AWAY FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE
WE COULD MAKE THIS OUR OWN MOVIE
MY FANTASY TURNED REALITY
I’M LOVIN THE LOVE YOU GOT FOR ME
A BOND SHARED SO NATURALLY
SO MUCH POTENTIAL, SO MUCH BEAUTY
NO MORE DARK DAYS, THESE DAYS ARE SUNNY

a good fit.

i feel like i'm bursting outta my skin
just to remember when my bones felt solid
i'm struggling to feel like breathing's gonna take me places
instead i find myself living from inhale to exhale
forgetting everything that ensued inbetween
forgetting i had aims to pursue something inbetween

and in the middle of all of this chaotic noise
i find myself struggling to hear your echos
distorted in all of this mess of a life
confused up in a language i forgot to study more

i'm tied up and tired of tying loose ends
just so i feel connected at the end of the day
but i'll admit, i was hardly ever well put together
just barely catching myself after i trip and slip up
making missteps with this heavy heart pulling me down

and in the middle of all this quiet inner insanity
i'm on a mission to make amends
my heart and my head have got to make up their mind
let reason coincide with the unreasonable heart of mine
i've got this
i'm down for all the uncertainty i'm pursuing here
in the middle of a struggle to remember a time and a place
a good fit where we made good sense
and maybe in the end of it
i won't have to keep tying our loose ends together
days when we couldn't make it make sense
days when the struggle was impossible to cure
but my heart knows better
i know our time has passed and i'm lost looking for that spot
that place we belonged

i don't know where you fit now
but i know your memory is tucked safely away
in my past.
and now (for now)
...that makes complete sense.

The Fabric of our Lives

Such a hero

An American Hero

Bought a dream today

Intricately decorated patterns

Seams seemingly pieced together peace by peace

What’s the point?  Needle point

Weaving together through time

 

Such a hero

An American Hero

Feeding her his sweat and leaving her a sea men would do that too

“Boom Boom?” left her a beating palpitate through her

breaking the seams

torn open

her eyes glistening over

Another day like this, like this, like this

Seams seemingly fall apart at what it seams to be tomorrow’s count

Such a hero

An American Hero

A seamstress, we’ve all become

Let’s sew it back together

Sew, sew me how

Let’s.
