  (Following my Free)

  

Lovely as a summer sun


Refreshing like cool drops of rain


Radiant in rainclouds


Thoughts of you can ease the pain.

 

Bad days come and bad days go


One thing I've learned to take it slow


Smell the beauty as it blooms


Share drink from the well and gaze the moon

 

Easy on my soul don't mind which way to go


On a path I roam


Don't know where this path leads


I'm following my free


in peace.

 

(The Grass is Just Fine where I'm Standin)

 

Love is a need


it seems like when we


don't have something


we want it.

 

When we get it


we tire of it.

 

We throw it away


because we want


something new.

 

Yet when we didn't


have it we wanted it


a whole lot.

 

Keeping love is


appreciating what


we already have.

 

Its very easy to


be disconnected


it takes appreciation


to keep what


you got.

 

"The grass is just fine where I'm standin'  "

 

(To Kill for Love)

 

I love you,

 

We say it all the time.

 

I would never do anything to hurt you.

 

I would never ever desert you!

 

Pledge my loyalty for all of time.

 

Work my fingers to the bone.

 

I give all I have anything for you.

 

Even give my very life for you.

 

Doing all we can,forgiving,loving, happy, glad, sad, mad.

 

Defending in all,through all,fighting to death.

 

Providing and protecting even until the last breath.

 

Until another comes along,singing a different song.

 

Sharing the one you love most,death before dishonor.

 

Loving so long it will not be loving in vain.

 

Losing the one you love to someone else.

 

The pain of the change.

 

Separating and the shame.

 

Jealousy comes sparking a fire,when new interest arise.

 

Twinkling the light in your lovers eyes,you used to do.

 

The though of your last breath.

 

Your protecting providing.

 

Fighting to the death.

 

Doing all you can, forgiving,loving,happy,mad,sad,glad.

 

Working fingers to the bone.

 

Pledging loyalty for all of time.

 

Never deserting.

 

Never leaving.

 

Never hurting.

 

Yet for all your years of love.

 

For the one you love to let someone else,

 

just come and take it away.

 

Take it all away.

 

Did you pledge your life to let it go?

 

Would you let it go that easy or would

 

you.............................

 

kill for love?

 

(Inside of Love)

 

Love is an infinite circle that is unbreakable


God is the source of all Love,


How we share this with others


is paramount,

 

Outside the circle or bond or safety or


Peace of Love is Hate,


once we respond to Hate with Hate


we have allowed hate to grow in us,

 

and have stepped outside the circle


of Love,or the Peace of Love,

 

No matter what, if we want to truly


stay in Peace,


we must stay in Love,

 

Because to have Peace,


we must walk in Love.

 

"Love"

"See the good in everyone
and you will never be a slave
to anyone"

 

(Love Turned Tolerance)

 

Unanswered silent screams


an island stranded

 

hailing to a mirage


a fading apparition,

 

Unresponded desperation


the terror of an unknown


an abandoned mind,

 

Dedication to known


aspiration to detail


the more advances made


the less and less


progress


prevailed,

 

As the pot simmers


low and slow

 

unattended until it is


dry split cracked and


broken,

 

For no use


anymore


only sat to the side


or discarded,

 

Only kept around


for sentimental


reason

 

presently


for


no


good


use.

 

"Love turned tolerance"

 

(Seed)

 

Your seed is small


yet grows epic


how you speak


talk listen action


and reaction


are all seeds,

 

Seeds we plant are


the words of our mouth


our fruit is of our


own tending,

 

Move in quiet


the breaking


of a twig


alarms our enemy,

 

Avoid foolishness


run from it


as


an

 

oncoming


train,

 

Thoughts are many


and constant


let your actions


speak more than


them,

 

Stillness of heart


mind


body


allows the


hearing


of wisdom,

 

sshh

 

Hush

 

Your


mind


is thinking,

 

Never turn your back

 

or think your


too high

 

Watch the seeds you


plant


may come back


to choke


you

 

(I Thought)

 

I thought that you loved me


I truly though that you cared

 

I thought you could never act like this


After all the years we shared.

 

I thought I was your everything


I thought we was cool


I thought you thought enough of me


to not play me for a fool.

 

I though when you love someone


I thought you did not lie


I thought when you commit to one


it'd be hard to say goodbye.

 

I thought that I thought


I guess I did not thought enough


I thought that I knew something


I guess I thought to much.

 

"I thought"
 

(Triumphant)

 

2 time failure


recourse absent


hated by offspring


betrayed by mate.

 

Reviled by family


despised of community


journeyed on


trekked over.

 

Unremembered


forgotten


loved by none


hated by all.

 

Yet in still


victorious


successful


able to start again


hope never left people


people left hope.

 

"Hope the necessary ingredient of Triumph"

  

(God Still Loves Me)


 

This is why I call you loved,


Mother yours is the first face I saw when I looked up,


and when I messed up you are the first one to show up.

 

Since things went wrong all I seem to think of is you.

 

Wonder why you do not speak to me,did I hurt you?

 

Deserting you is the furthest thang from my mind.

 

If you ever need me,you know just where to find.

 

Pops I'm wonderin'why you aint' sayin' nuttn.'

 

All my life you the one that told me to stand up for


myself and don't take nuthn.'

 

Big brother I definitely feel you don't like me.

 

Like the reason why you don't  call is just to spite me.

 

Why all of you seem to be disgusted by me and


can't relate to me.

 

I know lifes not long enough for you to hate me.

 

This is why I call you loved.

 

No matta what,I don't give up hope,try to be the best I can,


knowing I'm nobody special,


God still loves me,


I do all I can to be a man.

 

God still loves me


 

(All You Own is Your Breath)

 

Time travel destination hatred joy juggle hurt pain ecstatic


longsuffering beautiful pleasantries of deception.

 

Your kind words mean nothing in a war of manipulation.

 

Does he/she with the most mightiest words win?

 

See it feel it taste it hear it


all you hold is your breath.

 

It in itself is not your own.

 

How simple would your life be


if all you owned was your breath?

 

"All you own is your breath"

 

"Material is an illusion manipulated in puppetmaster form
by the control seekers."

 

"When you want nothing you own all"

Freedom Liberty


"Calm is the absence of pride"

 

"Control is the negotiation of want and need"


"Peace is a constant thought growing in the heart of those
who are a friend of compassion."

 

"Be Peace"

 

(Her)

 

Lips of seduction


Eyes of deception


Spiders web


We are the moth.

 

Still is the skill


for the kill,

 

You are the prey


yet you insist


you are not.

 

Smiles of cunning


whispers of clever


agony thrown


with a grin.

 

Waiting to break you


dissolve you


remove all that is you


and just leave you,you.

 

Can you believe


this WAS pristine?


The pinnacle of perfection.

 

The same mouth


spoke the same words.

 

The same hands


eased the same nerves.

 

The same beauty


you longed to hold.

 

Now the same is


harsh


distant


deliberate


and cold.

 

What was the choice?


Who was the voice?


Yes those lips


were moist.

 

Now care


has turned to spurn,

 

"and her name is "HER"

 

(If)

 

If I gave you my heart


would you care?

 

If I gave you my love


would you realize I was there?

 

If I gave you my dreams


would you give me yours too?

 

If I gave you my all


Would you meet me half way?

 

No I wouldn't give you a free ass whoopin!

 

Yo momma teef is so yellow they thought she swallowed


big bird!

 

Yo momma breaf is so stank it smells like yo daddy


needs to wash his balls!

 

Talkin' bout "If" I give you my all


You need to give yo self a toof brush .....

 

Yo stank sorry ass!!!

 

(Humble Peace)

 

Appreciation of the simple things in life,


The long forgotten values


between wrong and right.

 

A simple thank you goes


such a long way,


faded memories of most,


yet pleasantries aren't


heard much today.

 

Please may I and your welcome


sir,ma'am,properly


addressing strangers

 

instead of I don't give a damn.

 

A warm hello, a heartfelt goodbye,


giving a gentle ear to listen.


not so much in a hurry


to say goodbye.

 

Being a shoulder to cry on


keeping your word,


able to admit when


your wrong nowadays


seems absurd.

 

Trying your all to help a friend


not only being a man,


but being a gentleman.

 

Not taking advantage


assuming kind is weak,


using your strength to uplift


the bereaved,


knowing humble strength


is to


Be Peace

 

(The Gentleman)

 

The deep breath and confident eyes.

 

Non hurried ways,and warm goodbye's.

 

Respect for ladies,helping the poor.

 

A firm handshake you can not ignore.

 

Pride is absent,humble is the way.

 

Keeping your word you've given today.

 

All is well and calmness is your friend.

 

For this is the way of the gentleman.

 

(In Every Win There is a Loss)

 

 When you've given it your all


and expectation falls short.

 

When picking up to continue


takes everything


you don't have.

 

When you don't have any energy


left and you muster


some up


some where


some how.

 

That is where the heart lies.

 

Not all accomplishments will be made,


Not all bases will be covered,


Not all friends will be there,


Not everyone will be happy or pleased.

 

You must ignore a whole hell of allot,


to focus, to concentrate,to devote,


all of your energy,all of your substance,


all of your soul,all of your heart,


on 1 single,dedication

 

"To be the best you must beat the best"

 

(Past Emotions in Time of Stress)


All that I am an all that my heart sees,

 

Not all is a reflection of me,

 

chased by necessary suffering of anguish


of reflections,of a shadow with no origin,


more than men comprehend


is a difficult fog


who lingers eluding


the brick walls


which guard the way to


understanding.

 

Feeling....feeling more than me


more than myself.

 

Yes or no is honest explanations


want to be seen of all


and heard by none.

 

"Love needs no words to be felt"

 

No matter the language spoken it is understood.

 

We can hate our brother ,yet who is he?


answer,

 

"everyone that walks on the dirt of the earth"

 

"Don't ask to be yourself just be yourself"

 

(My Lover)

 

When I kiss you,I am like a savage beast,Neva could get enough.

 

Drinking your juices even the ones on the sheet.

 

You taste so good I'll neva forget,losing myself inside you I hope

 

my words make you wet.


Neva forget me cause you know who I am,the lover your comfor-

 

table with,not your husband yet always your man.

 

Call me,n I'll make a way no matta who I'm with in my mind you stay.

 

Should I wish I'd neva known,I wouldn't know the feeling to know

 

what turns me on.

 

Your lover the one you won't forget.

 

(Come to me Lover)

 

Romantic encounters of perfect bliss,

every sound ,every caress,

every kiss,


come closer lover take my embrace,

you have no need to ask,

the answer is on my face,

 

lying on my back in sheer extasy,

outside  on the grass on the ground,

by the cool stream ,

with you on top of me,

 

your are my moon my stars,

my rain ,my pain,

my voluntary submission,

as you dominate me,

 

Now matter who I'm with,

all I see is you,

all I feel is you,

and all that I dream is you,

 

Come hurry now lover my imagination no longer suffices,

 

There is no replacement for you,

I will settle for nothing less than the best,

and my soul knows it is you

 

Come to me now fulfill your desires with me,

our rewards will be bliss,nirvana,

a secret untold extasy,


I need you

 

(The Penis)

 

The Penis is a dangerous thing especially when unwanted

A penis a weapon a warrior a tool

with this ruler you do not fool


Many have fallen victim to its pleasure

Some short some small some tall appearing without measure


Protecting, providing, pleasing penis

once claimed, a territory,to be ridden

by the rider in love


She's dazed she's gazed she's amazed by your eye

captivated salivating awaiting you inside


It's not always your face she sees

when she sees you

its your wonderful pleasing penis

when she daydreams of you


Fulfillment fancy,amusement romance

when she's found the one she needs

craves desires appetizes

then she must do the dance

the penis dance


"For a penis is a wonderful thing

large or small it is your own

to do with as you wish"


The hunt for the pleasure of penis is

a noble task,

says the hunted to the hunter


The pendulum of swinging penis

sways side to side to hypnotize

alluring to capture its prey


look into the eye,of........the penis

"aint it good?"

 

(Kill or be Killed)

  

The mountains dripped blood as the younglings observed,

 

Trees breathed in death,yet breathed out many words,

 

Strength in numbers is no match for the strong,

 

To be weak is to be dead,as the battle lingers on.

 

"Survive or die where do you stand?"

 

"The defeat is not won in the body,


it is accomplished in the mind."

 

(Maze of Hope)

 

Come out your box


your tiny little box

 

Forced control


is something you don't own

 

red bicycles


are floating in your sky

 

you love hugs hello


but terrified of kiss goodbye's

 

ancient warriors


is something you will never be

 

erasing sadness


memories sets you free

 

unlock the door your


internal joy quietly awaits

 

look the pleasure of your lover


face to face

 

tortured dreams hold on


but your not sleep

 

lying on your back


the feeling great is so intense

 

but if you let go


the feelings gone


so you stay on the fence

 

the moons your home


as whales fly thru your sky

 

the oceans are full of birds


that speak and wonder why,

 

conversations with feelings


called hope

 

soft grassy fields


and quiet streams

 

your bodies soft

 

who ever wants


to leave the romantic plane


that never turns off

 

climb right in


put your feet on solid ground

 

catch the boat of joy


while its there to be found

 

and sail away


sail away out of the maze

 

dreams are nice but


live those thoughts


before they slip away

 

regret is only real


if you can't get past old days

 

days that hurt

 

is pain an illusion


is joy an intrusion on the pain

 

oh where are the voices


that had the heart to leave the maze

 

What we see right now


was given

 

some are stuck in what is here

 

crying tears that no one hears


shedding fears that no one else knows

 

in a room full of others


yet still all alone

 

you don't try

 

you don't try anymore

 

you've moved on


but your still inside


the door

 

you do so much


its what brings you joy

 

your not understood


can't share your thoughts


with your fan

 

it turns round and round


it feels good


cools you off


yet doesn't


understand

 

you stand alone


yet others just like you


waiting for time


to give the clue

 

echoes in the mountains


you yell but theirs no reply

 

is the dream you use


to soothe you


reality or lie

 

doesn't matter anymore


get what you need want


and find others


in the maze of hope

 

drifting along


the waters of desire


waiting


for the rope.

 

What is your reality?

 

(All of This means Nothing Without You)

 

All of this means nothing without you

 

Thoughts loft on the Winds of Comfort


Dreams drifting on the Open Ocean


Wants in bloom amongst the Flowers


All of this means nothing without you.

 

Owner of cloud shrouded palaces atop the Mounts


Keeper of Desire of the Warmth of the Female Heart


Treasurer of Pleasure in the Valley of Bliss


all of this means nothing without you.

 

Hider of evil Conqueror of Shame


Will is endowed of Weakness


only for the Knowledge of your Name,


To wait Eternal for your Comforts


is but a moment for the promise


of your Touch.

 

All the Beauty in the world is


pennies in comparison,


all of this means nothing without you,


Yet we've never met....


I love you this much

 

(The Mission)

 

Prepare the Path to the Unknown


to create the Spark


you must strike the Stone,

 

Breath so deep my head feels light


my inward journey between day and night,

 

The Mission begins with no end near


jump off the stars with no time near,

 

Holding on to no thought at all


you are not big and you are not small,

 

Air around you is high after high


like a thousand mushrooms


with no reason why,

 

Across the desert your heart pounds


as you walk across without your feet


on the ground,

 

No ears to hear only eyes to see


reflections of yourself over the open sea

 

Is that me or you I can't tell


I'm right back on that start


sippin from the well,

 

an all is fine all is fine


all is fine in my mind

 

My ears are back and women sing


beauty untold

 

the tales they bring


laughing and tickling


at your soul

 

The love they make is so intense


it takes your breath,

 

past your shell its an emotional


caress,

 

Flying breeze across the sky


in comfortable bliss with no alibi,

 

Over an over the music plays


on an on the memory stays,

 

Penetration overwhelms


who is driving at the helm,

 

Love is waiting at the shore


quietly waiting at the door,

 

You must stay shushed to hear the welcome

 

Time is floating on the moon


as you listen your mind is zoomed

 

Hold my hand and walk with me


as memory and reality journey


peaceful free,

 

Anything's possible when you


are a turtle with wings

 

that can walk swim


and fly at the same time

 

(Sing a Song for Me When I'm Gone)

 

When I pass on


Let all who cared


danced and sing a song,

 

Please don't cry


don't holler and scream,

 

Read the 23 Psalm


bring beautiful flowers,

 

Pour my remains


on the water


by the Bay,

 

I'd like to be resting


on the beach

 

come what may,

 

Then go live your life


and speak of me good,

 

Do unto others the way that you would,

 

You've got 1 life so live it the best,


Be kind along the way


and live no regrets,

 

Sing a song,sing a song,


sing a song for me when I'm gone.

 

Be blessed

 

(I Know Your Kind)

 

We may not speak the same language


yet I know your kind

 

We may be from distant lands


yet I know your kind

 

We may be from different religions


yet I know your kind

 

We may be from different races


yet I know your kind

 

Kindness knows itself as a reflection in water


Kindness is loving all as your own son or daughter


Kindness cares not for your finance or your condition


Kindness sees respect and hears when you listen

 

"Above all else always be kind"

 

(Lies Without Reason)

  

Lies, Lies, Lies, for no reason!!!

even when others don't even care....lie!!!

Even when people don't even ask you...lie!!!

Just for no reason at all....lie!!!

 


When standing in front of the judge facing time...lie!!!

When a very big man is threatening you...lie!!!

When finding out could lead to divorce...lie!!!

When the outcome could mean getting sued...lie!!!

 


Everyday lies get heard and lies get spoken

Lies are heard when feelings get hurt say your joking

Lies can cover cries or reasons why

Lies are mostly alibis

 


We also lie for truth we can't admit

Lies cover up wrongs but do lies do any good?

Is not saying anything when asked a lie?

Is it that uneasy feeling in your gut,

When were asked to speak yet we sit and shut up

 


Lies live in darkness

Truth walks in light

 

 

Lies and truth cause pain,

but there is a difference yes

 


When truth is told lies unfold

and in the end you can earn respect

 

"Can we walk a lifetime and not speak a lie?"


 (Destruction by Sound)

 

Our words are weapons,so speak them with care


Would you destroy innocence with hands?Are we


strong enough to not destroy when we can,

 

Easy things are easy to take,A friendship you don't


need appears distressing to make,

 

Words hurt hard,when they break your spirit down,

 

Words can kill without hands,it's terror by sound.

 

"Sound can destroy what song will you sing?"

 


peace and blessings

 

(Passive Pestilence)

 

Why must we hate this way?

 

Leading the children,leading them astray,

 

Is not soon recompense to come?

 

To fall on all who stood silent,

 

Or to prosecute the One,

 

"Are we right to stand and watch wrong?"

 

(Liberty and Lies)

 

Lies clouded shrouded in amazed arrogance

 

Futile to abash the abdication of your own self

 

proclaimed Supremacy of the esurient populace

 

Is this our ornamental pedestal pinnacle

 

of thoroughness we live today


Engrafted thoughtlessness, treasured synthetics

 

of puppetry,is this our society?


Hunting in anguish for miniscule microbes

 

dropped from the table


Let our elder demise remain elder


I adjure the generation in accomplishment of sorrow

 

to pierce through the ongoing's of ramblings of

 

drug addicted promises of prosperity,to path a way

 

not only for the oncoming yet to arrive,but for the

 

here and for the now


Trickery is not past it is alive and well and still has needs

 

to be primarily dispatched,for it is that time

 

an only at that time, we as an esurient populace of sheep

 

will fully and completely understand an entirely own

 

"Liberty"

 

(The Winds of Life)

 

Life is but a vapor 1 is what we've got

 

Honest lips from a pure heart sure and truthful

 

Tender mercies may save a life not at all times are we right

 

Calm within still without, peaceful words from a peaceful mouth

 

Speak me truth or hold your peace


"The winds of life blow to make you stand strong when the storm will come"

 

(Molto)

 

Speak me truth or hold your peace

 

Don't want lies going out or coming inside me

 

Secrets don't always keep their pain to themselves


"Pain is certain promises are not"

 

(Our Secrets Are Our Shame)

 

The bad things we've done


The terrible things unknown


The dedication to clandestine


The preoccupation with concealment

 

Woes to reveal


Woes to be known


Woe to the unnamed mystery


We will hide it in the deepest sea

 

The embarrassment of truth


hiding from the light of realization


lies on top of lies


an owner of a monopoly of lies

 

Fear of impendent laughter


Abashed in public forum


Held accountable to privacy made known


Conformation commences

 

The depression,hurt,anxiety,rage,


horror,frightening inner hysteria


to maintain the silence of our sins


to our shame

 

"To desire to be known,yet too afraid to be found out"

"Our secrets are our sorrow"

 

(Mercy)

 

Mercy for the homeless child


Mercy for those who are dying now


Mercy for those who are broken


Mercy for those sins unspoken

 

Mercy for killers who show remorse


hoping there past had changed course

 

Mercy for dads who don't care


Whose children don't know them and wonder where?

 

Mercy for the abandoned the forgotten the unknown


Mercy for tears that sob alone

 

Mercy for the wrongly punished


accused falsely and truly innocent

 

Mercy for those who care not for themselves


and are disparagingly dissident

 

(Midnight Eyes)

 

Peering out my window and what do I see ,coal black


midnight eyes,could this be a reflection of me

 

I've been gracious I've been kind,caring for strangers,


how could these eyes be mine

 

Yet in still there they are,could they be a shadowy


reflection of mine deepest inner part

 

Searching my heart have I been true,when I was fooling


others was I really the fool

 

At times pretendin' when others were honest,


was I truly being sincere,


or was I wanting to vomit

 

Time comes when the collector calls for his due,


It should have been paid when asked


than to mount up into debt

 

Yes those eyes are perceptive,piercing,deep,my eyes


may lie to you,yet they could not ever lie to me

 

I know my wrongs at  least the most,they are as haunting


as those eyes in the reflection,who holds me captive so

 

To wash away the past,so those midnight eyes


will reflect light,to have evaded all the options of wrong,


and have chosen all of the right

 

Looking out of my window,what do I wish to see,not these


coal black midnight eyes lookin'


back at me

 

(Everyday is Heaven)

 

Every day is heaven when you know


understanding inside we are somehow all the same,

 

All of us cry, all of us lie, all of us try, to reason why the pain,


the wanting to be loved,to be accepted,


to strive for gain,and some for fame,

 

Everyday is heaven when it is revealed,


the explanation of why suffering is horrible to feel,


how all around you is seen,heard,smelled,and felt

 

Everyday is heaven when you have and LACK is a STRANGER


when your cabinets are full and your wealth is in


an abundance

 

Everyday is heaven when you know you are loved


and the one you love loves you back

 

Everyday is heaven when you come to realize that


To take all of this away would it still be heaven everyday?

 

(Buried Scorn)

 

Buried scorn smoldering like a volcano waiting to expload

 

Oh woman how I love you so.

 

(Enigma)

 

I have a penny


you have a dollar


we have a home


They have a palace


fine clothes


exquisite linen


respect of all


despised of nothing


to walk with all


to run from none


to have all


to own nothing

 

 

(Aphelion the Son of Repugnance)

 

My world centers on nothing


no hope no joy no laughter


no mirth at all

 

Persistence has been my plunder


Determination has been my burden


aphorism's of Sages long gone


the wind brings there songs no more

 

My home is the aphelion of existence


treasures know not my company or my name


why am I to consume substance

 

it only efforts me to another day of loneliness


for I am the Son Of  Repugnance

 

Has my life been a retribution for ancestral sins?

 

My limbs in the air in the anguish of despair


mercy be thrown upon me as the oceans of the sea


allow me to bask in the sun of a forgiving light


let not my bones ache from the cold loneliness of a


broken heart an another night alone in this


aphelion of desperation

 

Passed my wits end I am an animal a scoundrel


fallen down and humbled


so low I'd rather be abased than to ascend to be brought low again

 

(Naked)

 

Naked,What does it mean to truly be naked? If pride and vanity are a covering for shame then shame not.If humiliation and

 

separation are convenient for fear then anger not.If suffering is misunderstood,....then appreciate.

 

Desire makes good morals weak.

 

Ambition does have faults.

 

Control is not always a visible force.

 

Freedom has a price,it aint free.

 

Love hurts ,yet we still want it.

 

Being alone teaches calm.

 

Is all work for hire?

 

Does concern always mean care?

 

Does integrity boasts unknown?

 

Does a need met in confidence,need a thank you or is


the thank you the need that was met?

 

To live by love do we say it or do we do it?

 

Appreciation,can we love without respect?


NAKED TO BE EMPTY OF FEAR.

 

Praise Ya

 

(Hungry)

 

2 arrogant young men without knowledge went into a shelter

 

were all were eating,and stood while everyone ate they stood quie-

 

tly and said not a word,the other's ate and left.


Then they left and came back again the next day the next day and

the next.


One day the head chef said,"Y do you not eat ?"  "Are you not hun-

 

gry?" They said,"you never asked,we were waiting to be invited."

 

The chef said,"if you don't open your mouth,how can you put food

in it.?"

 

 (What Everyone Needs)

 

Are you hearing something that you see?

 

Are you seeing something that you hear?

 

Your nights are days and your days are nights.

 

What's your criteria for wrong or for right?

 

Is apology apart of your vocab?

 

Does your hated need a rehab?

 

Is forgiveness something you've neva given?

 

Yet something so badly you seek a want or is it a need?

What can make a wrong right ?

 

Forgiveness!

 

What can heal your mind?

 

Forgiveness!

 

What can turn back the hand of time on your hurt?

 

Forgiveness!

 

Then what should be my business?

 

Forgiveness!

 

Praise Ya,

 

 (Have You Talked With Time)

 

Time flys,time slows,yet it don't stop,on an on it goes,

 

While we roll on with the wind,

 

feel the cool breeze,

 

the shade beneath the tree,

 

have you ever spoken to him.

 

He has so much to say,

 

has seen a many day,

 

and felt it all,

 

Ever lay on your back,look at the stars,

 

and wonder where you are,

 

realize what you are,

 

or how small you are,

 

So much to prove,

 

with nothing to lose,

 

walkin around with no shirt no shoes,

 

bare to the earth,

 

Waterfalls are showers,

 

lakes are baths,

 

the grass is carpet,

 

I love to laugh at everyone,

 

this is so much fun,

 

Angry man let go your hate,

 

let go your fears

 

before time says no more,

 

You conquer those whose love grows,

 

beneath the sun,

 

yet their are those who will not run from you,

 
Fear is fear that ran away,

 

you did not shine when time gave you time to stay

 

 (Ripe Fruit)

 

To come from the dirt of the earth is modest humble and low.

 

Then one leaf appears above the ground as the roots anchor


deep below.

 

One leaf and then another an another an another.

 

As the earth circles the sun is the reason for the season.

 

Flowers bloom, an as they fall fruit emerges in the light of the moon.

 

Then we come along as the ripening happens picking the fruit to consume for our life.

 

Patience takes dedication to wait till it's ripe.

 

All things in life principal on this condition,

 

to enjoy the juiciest of the fruit,

 

We must have the patience to wait until it's ripened,

 

before we pick it.

 

(When the Suffering begins)

 

Just no hope in site,kicked beaten torn abused,kicked some more.


Everyone knows it's not right but everyone turns a blind eye to my suffering.


Even in the midst of me still loving those who hate me and punish me for doing good.


Still they do not let up.


Please please mercy come to my rescue I need you,I am curled up on the ground being wailed upon by life.


The ones I have helped won't help me.It's as if I am a stranger inside of my own dreams.


What to do even though my enemies hate me and the closest ones to me despise me,I still love them and I still love you.

 

I refuse to give up on love,I refuse to give up on kindness,I refuse to give up on honesty.


If it is meant for me to walk this cruel world alone than I will.No


I must ,I must show that there is good there is love there is faith.

 

Even if I am the only one,Even if I am the only one,

 

Broke beaten and torn down,penniless homeless and hungry,


I must still believe.

 

I must still believe.

 

I can't give up,

 

I won't give up,

 

(Evils Despair)

 

Happiness on the "Mountains of Flames"

Water beneath my feet

"Respect" is my name

 


Mist rising as morning dawn,

skipping thru the leaves,

like a newborn fawn,

 

Come war come battle

bring your mightiest warrior

and cry your greatest cry,

even though I am, gentle as a Lamb,

I will still take you on just I,

 

I an I alone,

trampling on seekers of evil

with most prejudice malice

"Respect" my name,

in the "Mountain of Flames"

is my Palace

 

Roaming thru the air,

I am the mist on your face,

the stillness of space,

on my wings rest hope,

I am "Evils Despair"

 

When Wrong faces me,

it's a shadow facing the Light,

Darkness is mine enemy,

for I am a Faithful "Knight"

 

My Word is true from Lips so Sure,

In the realm of my Presence,

All men stand Sure

 

Fair Lady's seek my comfort,

My Warmth is my Treasure,

My Strength is for All in need

My Compassion without Measure,

 

Look deep into the Mirror

Seek Richness without Wealth,

and when your at your weakest

look for me and you will find yourself

 

Respect

 

(Haters)

 

Listen,Listen do you hear the laughter of fools?

 

Mocking ignorant ones breaking the rules,

 

scorning the good laying traps for the kind,

 

brutal with hurtful words and ways bouncing

 

like a ball out of control losing precious time,

 

the clocks tickin and your still trippin, sayin the

 

wrong is right and you still don't get it,

 

Get away, get away leave it alone,

 

evil in the house with kindness feels like

 

something's wrong.

 

(Memory of a Mans Love)

 

All my love,All my heart,and all of my soul,

 

this is what it takes to have and to hold,

 

knowing you before I know myself,

 

because before  you for me there was no one

 

else,you let me in and that's when we began,

 

just a woman and just a man,

 

Now their is us and what must I do,my whole

 

world is little one, and you know you,

 

Where will we go what shall we have,my tired

 

hands are not all that I have,If not for you and

 

little one,the strength I have would be none,I

 

speak the steps we've walked,to show where

 

weve been,I love you more now than I ever thought

 

I could in the begin.

 

You are my family ,you are my heart you are my wife,

 

the wind beneath my sails woman you are

 

the reason for my life.


...Words from a mans mind,in love


Peace

(Zoz)

 

Love laugh ZOZ,

 

ZOZ quietly studies the real,

 

fake is left,

 

pleasure escapes not,

 

keys of silence,

 

never to be sold,

 

non holders are yellow in a room of grren,

 

the palace of punctuality,

 

the secret of seekers,

 

the home of holders,

 

rush not,walk slow,

 

behold comfort,

 

share beauty,

 

say nothing,

 

speak everything,

 

the holder reveals not

 

and shares all,

 

remember those in and who want control,

 

are those who do not hold,


 

Do you know where illusion ends?

 

Where fantasies lie,

 

is this when dreams rest,

 

Completion exist in unknown untold epics inside of refrained lips,

 

ZOZ does not hold itz beholders,

 

itz holders hold ZOZ

 

(Everywhere is Home)

 

This is the way so come with me

 

space and time we leave behind,

 

the moon is free ,

 

travel in the breeze,

 

Ridin the high,

 

from within outside,

 

the earth still in the wind,

 

there is no end,

 

Everyday is a new begin,

 

N watch the flowers sing to you,

 

the trees dance and move,

 

The antz all talk,and I understand,

 

Lions walk by an itz all cool man,

 

Don't hesitate and don't think twice,

 

Swimming the oceans blue with no fear inside,

 

Reality is a thing of the past,

 

hate is unknown and all is well,

 

Searchin for nothing all is known,

 

and everywhere I be is home,

 

Eternal peace peace eternally Amen

 

hallelujah, all gory to JAH


 

(This Can't End)

 

Birds sing,flowers bloom


inside of my heart there is room


for love to flourish bearing fruit.

 

Picked when ripened


sweet to taste


visions of you in


stockings and lace.

 

Warm and luscious


ready to burst


parched from want


deepens my thirst.

 

To taste to share


to know your there


here within


true to passion


lets begin.

 

No words needed


our bodies speak


eyes will tell


my body is weak.

 

Take me without asking


nothing to hinder


your progression


oo wee baby here comes a session.

 

Moment by moment


time slows down


all the world is silent


we hear only our sounds.

 

Holding back building


pressure


intensity builds


firmly caressing.

 

Volcanic rising


no subsiding


perfect kisses


on clouds gliding.

 

Flying high swooping low


telepathic energy flow.

 

This can't end,every moment is the begin,


my passion, my dream, my lover, my friend.

 

mmmmmmmm

 

(Inner Madness Outer Calm)

 

Do you know,know why your here?

 

Bangin your head on the same broken wall,

 

gettin up again ,but you din'feel the fall,

 

Reality we are told is what we feel,

 

What if we don't feel is it still real?

 

I don't know and allot of times I don't even care,

 

What I know is to breathe I need air,

 

When I was a boy I ran naked and alone?

 

trying to figure why everyone else has their

 

clothes on.

 

Struggling to maintain what they do not yet own,

 

whoever said 4 walls makes a home,

 

It seems to me the man who has nothing has

 

it all,and those who think they do stay wanting

 

at the wall ,bangin their head again and again and

 

again,

 

Life is normal

 

(Fortitude of a Tree)

 

Have you ever talked with trees,hugged its trunk,


respected its ease,

 

For he weathers storms and all that arrives,


is not despised,

 

Weathering every lover,every joy,and every cry.

 

The patience of the tree has needs be reasoned,


he endures every person,every occasion,


without complaint in every season.

 

Tolerating us as we poison the air and the ground,


yet the tree is faithful providing fruit,shade,


and beauty without speaking a sound.

 

Never complaining standing steady and strong


never judging who we are or why we need,


selflessly giving and giving us seed.

 

Helping us with its sacrifice,


to keep us warm


when we chop him down,


to keep our families


warm at night.

 

The tree is alive and well


a protector


a provider


enduring the elements


whether hot humid dry,


or flooded and wet,

 

So hug a tree and be kind,


if you realized it or not


he has earned


your


respect.

 

"respect our earth"

 

(The Other Side)

 

The Land of Space

 

The hand of darkness

 

The foot of depression

 

The unanswered question


Struggle to forward

 

Clenching to remain

 

Studying to know

 

Running to pain


Mysteries of Secret

 

Untold actions true

 

Pushing toward Oblivion

 

Do you really know you?


Are you really yourself?

 

Are you a shadowy reflection of someone else?

 

Do you become what you despise?

 

Can anyone truly hide the lies in their eyes?


What will you do when the clock stops?

 

Will Space invite your face or not?

 

"Will death reject you as life has?


And let you live and send your ass right back."

 

(Azuza)

 

Life is full of crazy insane  treacherous people.


Shall I buy a gun?

 

Ah the anger of a child rejected,


Hmn,maybe I should tease him?

 

Wow look at that car on fire.


Why don't you steal it and go for a ride?

 

Sir, why did you just strike me for no reason?


No its cool,Please come in sit down,have a cold drink,


trust me....its lemonade.

 

(Axiom of Life)

 

Looking for the majesties of life

 

Pondering the values betwixt wrong and right

 

Screaming my inward with no echo at all

 

Appearing outwardly large

 

Yet Indulged to be small

 

 

Human equation instructions of greater than

 

Conclusion of study records,

 

elations from lesser than

 

Journeying further away from this familiar existence

 

Yet still abounding here

 

hoarding patience for resistance 

 

Grasping silence in circumstance breathes compassion

 

"Voyaging the path unknown is

 

when special accomplishments happen"

 

Distractions deem understanding

 

At any given time fault may be reached

 

When the heart commands demanding

  

Urges fulfilled appear good at the time

 

To abstain from a good thing

 

stagnates the mind

 

"Breeze is for the soul carrying the unneeded"

 

"The use of ears is to know that silence is needed"

 

"Happiness of all can be succeeded by one"

 

"Treasures of bliss are earned not won"

 

"Apprehension is kin to a keen mind"

 

"Infinite diligence unrelenting to what is right"

 

"Accomplishment is a grand design"

 

(The End of Pride)

 

Burning Burning,of wants you'll never have,unfulfilled loneliness,of your own choosing,destruction of peace paid for by vengeance,of an unhappy heart,contempt of those around you who are happy,in their own quaints,treetops of air are not enough when silence comes prowling out of the darkness the corners, the devastations, the self brought agonies of untold frightful panic,yes despair is in the air,can you taste it? Eat it until you are full,yet you always remain hungry for more and more and more unsatisfaction.The rat is your friend fiendishly preparing his savors for your end,waiting to taste your despair,oh such a culinary delight,when your eyes are afright,m m yes,the error of your ways are a consuming war of discomfort to your world of easiness,pick the laughs or choose..the tears.I have no ears,my only getting of your mind is your faith or your fear.No! choose me not...Pride

 

It is my sincere hope that this pleasure is a breath of fresh air to you.

Amen

God Bless
