41/M/Colorado I wrote the poems Im posting now about 20 years ago, during my college years. I have recently self published them for free on Apple Books under the title A Controlled Demolition, for the same reason Im posting here: feedback and exposure.
Mother, Father I feel something deep inside me The sound of the call of destiny But the swelling of my ego Is suffocating my self And I'm losing the battle The feeling I get As I write these words Overwhelmes My ambition to rap & rhyme And as I kiss her lips With pen in hand My self swells again And I succumb To the power inside me To Change To Be To Love To Overcome And these lyrics are evolving Every moment I'm becoming

Every Moment Im Becoming
No more than a witness to a flowing energy No more than refractions of a surrounding brilliance I am a crooked river, but not a crooked man I am the incense smoke flowing in a breezeless room And now it must be that I drive myself Out of this infirmary To disperse throughout the air And disappear among the clouds

Disappear Among The Clouds
The opportunities of the day give way The bridge between us bends, then breaks away We are the banks of a raging river We are your atmosphere We are the moon, and you are the tides We are the darkening skies Silently winding and weaving through Nothing left to prove All around and flowing throughout A beauty reverberates unseen I just want to live where I can be An experiment, a theory
