You see things,
you keep quiet about them
and you understand.
Because life changes, friends leave
and life doesn't stop for anybody.

You feel more deeply, isolated
your true heart, so understated
but things you see
as they flicker by
keep that strong resolution within held high.


Pain & suffering are always
inevitable for a large
intelligence and a deep heart.

Time stands still
as life takes your photo
feeling outcasted like Quasimodo.
Life is but a tapestry
one part you and another, me.


You are confined by the
walls you build yourself.

*But never limited to your imagination and desire

We're fat within our luxury
Entangled within capitalism, false advertising
Gossip, slander
Trivial first world pursuits
It's human nature to meander
But within the society of the first world's finite structure
We lose
Consumed in ruse
'Cause what other way do we amuse
Ourselves

We got everything
So why do we not spill over with joy
and sing?
Cause we're sitting atop our bounty
Wrapped in robes sitting on gold thrones
While the entire world lay in savage ruins
We turn to soothing
In our processed foods, our drugs, our infatuation with ***
We've lost the purpose to all of this
We have no definition
And without meaning
We go into regression
An entire nation suffering from depression.
Kitchen-hungry red
Ocean-water teal
Blacks bonded together
Stitched and adhered
   contemporarily
Symmetrically
    stacked
  to lay flat
on my kitchen floor
Crimson 50′s clock
quietly going tick-tock
during rests of audio activity
Wrestling with dogs
during the turning of cogs
to unwind pent up energy
The day of rest and solitary conquest
puts me in no hurry to leave this nest
For I appreciate and want to bathe in
everything I have...for now.
I dream of falling in love
With each cigarette puff blowing in the wind
I dream of falling in love
With each leaf crunching as I'm walking in the woods
I dream of falling in love
With each dandelion seed flowing adrift
I dream of falling in love
With each coyote howling at the moon
I dream of falling in love
With each line I compose from the heart
I dream of falling in love
With each breath I take
I dream of falling in love
Always and constantly.
Your softly spoken words leaves essences lingering in the mist, only to purify this unjustified burden of the ever lasting beloved love...

-Ethiiochick
All that I can say, you have uttered them to another...
Don't you know a good love is hard to find
You'll search and search all over for someone of the same soul and mind
And even when find that that special person
You're likely to make some grave mistakes
But hang on in there with everything inside
I tell that's what it takes
The very day I found you felt as if I was in an Earthquake
Every day now I wake up I speak to you in love's own voice
So very glad that you're my personal choice
A good love is hard to find
Inside now feeling so good
That you're fine and all mine
