Writing creates a paradigm.
Much like a camera, it is a paradigm that we can look through in order to see the world, or create one, from a different perspective.
I decided to step away from my art and look at the lens itself instead of looking through it.
What I found is that we are able to paint pictures with words, pictures that don’t exist and we can create artworks with those pictures that allow you to see them in the most magical way possible while knowing that each artwork is different and unique depending on the person that composes it.
It is being able to travel the world as we know it through symbols and letters while not moving an inch from where we are in time and lead ourselves to a beautiful yet twisted sense of duality.
Maybe it’s the feeling of godhood in creating life, worlds or even stories yet I am still human but I become a god outside of time.
I take my imagination and make it tangible.
They say actions speak louder than words but I am a writer and words are all I have. So, maybe one day, as these words drip from my fingertips they will find you and they will drown your thoughts with beautiful pictures and hopefully, you might just understand,
Why we write.
They say actions speak louder than words,
But there’s still a reason why the pen is mightier than the sword.

All that I am and all I can hope to be
All that I understand and all I need
Is to be in your fold for the years I grow old
Within the glory of heaven with you
All is goodness and joy in the wonders of God
Behold you are crowned with the victory
Claimed for heaven for all of eternity
Shining down on the nations of earth
You are our God and we are your children
Trusting in all that you say and you do
Providing a way to be more like you everyday
Following you, Jesus, Lord of mercy
We fall on our knees confessing our need for you
All that I am is to be held by Jesus

It's a miracle.
You know? You're a miracle.
Just the sheer biology of thinking, dreaming, creating, destroying, sleeping, waking, crying, running, hiding, fighting, loving, loosing, growing, shrinking, living, dying, writing, erasing, giving, receiving, feeling.
Words, they are our miracle.

i want to be
one of the reasons
why you smile
why you wake up
and want to be more
than who you are
i want to be
one of the reasons
why you write songs
why your heart skips a beat
and the reason why
you want to keep going
in life.

I've seen endless galaxies in her eyes,
And I have felt entire hemispheres
Hot and burning
Upon our lips,
The sun and the stars,
Consummating, constellating
Between her hips.

What do I do with all the words that I have left unsaid
The **** I want to say
But cant and wont
As if I was filling a bucket with teardrops
Keep telling myself
That one day Ill say it all
Its just that that day
Will not come
So
Writing is the only way I can
Let go of half of the burden
I set the words free
Even though
They never
Make it
To you
But somehow I feel
That they now
Are closer to you
And therefore
Am I

Any ***** can shoot a *****
What’s it take to pull a trigger
How much pressure do ya figure
Is required to dead a *****
Problem is you’re killin you
When you pull the trigger to
Shoot someone who looks like you
But ain’t that what you ****** do
A ***** lookin for respect
Could pull out a Nine or Tec
At a time you least expect
And you might have to hit the deck
Cuz when the bullets start to fly
Those who don’t just might die
And you don’t wanna go - okay
Like ****** do around the way – cuz
Any ***** can shoot a *****
What’s it take to pull a trigger
How much pressure do ya figure
Is required to dead a *****
Problem is you’re killin you
When you pull the trigger to
Shoot someone who looks like you
But ain’t that what you ****** do
Keep one eye open when you sleep
Cuz in the hood life is cheap
So watch the company you keep
Your main man might be a creep
Don’t let ‘em get the drop on you
The way some ****** like to do
They’ll roll up on you with a crew
And run a clip off into you
Any ***** can shoot a *****
What’s it take to pull a trigger
How much pressure do ya figure
Is required to dead a *****
Problem is you’re killin you
When you pull the trigger to
Shoot someone who looks like you
But ain’t that what you ****** do
****** don’t respect themselves
Never mind someone else
That’s why they keep their gats and shells
And you know what that often spells
Cuz ****** are up to no good
There’s gun smoke in the neighborhood
And it’s high time they realize
That it’s themselve who they despise – cuz
Any ***** can shoot a *****
What’s it take to pull a trigger
How much pressure do ya figure
Is required to dead a *****
Problem is you’re killin you
When you pull the trigger to
Shoot someone who looks like you
But ain’t that what you ****** do
Did you ever stop to think
****** could become extinct
In the time it takes to blink
Like some kind of missin link
Unless we suddenly stop killin
The prophesy will keep fulfillin
Even though the thought is chillin
Long as the blood just keep on spillin – cuz
Any ***** can shoot a *****
What’s it take to pull a trigger
How much pressure do ya figure
Is required to dead a *****
Problem is you’re killin you
When you pull the trigger to
Shoot someone who looks like you
But ain’t that what you ****** do
Although it’s often said in play
And despite what some folks say
The use of ***** ain’t okay
Though you might hear it everyday
My usage of it in this joint
Is for effect to prove a point
It’s not to glorify the term
But will you ****** ever learn – that
Any ***** can shoot a *****
What’s it take to pull a trigger

I have a
hole cut out
of my heart
in the
shape of
you
I have a
tree bearing
fruit and
they fall
only for
you.
I have a
fire burning
in my soul
and it
burns for
you.
I have a
dream where I
run towards
figures that
look like
you.
I have a hole in the wall of my heart
in the shape of
you.

Lost in a thought,
triggered by a stare,
I look at you,
and sink into a pool of destiny.
Diaphanous gossamer lace,
outlines your margins,
pulling my eyes deeper,
arousing my inquisitive side.
Your pernicious smile,
excites and saddens me,
vexing my ambitions,
and confusing my vivication.
Slowly, it melts into something,
so simmeringly hot,
that there is no question,
that wrappings will be scattered.
The libidinous winds begin to blow,
engrossing and exhausting rapture,
infiltrating gratification,
reaching a zenith of perfection.

Days of the new
are one and a few,
while days of yore
will open the door.
The future is built
upon solid stilts,
of the past's foundation,
tested by duration.
Knowledge combined
from yesterday and refined,
with ideas from today
will pave the way.
Never lose sight,
though some might,
of what worked before
to reopen closed doors.
