As majestic trees shed 

Memories fall what once be,

Leaves gliding gently 

To be reborn brilliant green

And so I will be

Autumn, spring.
How many folks selling they souls
Just to get a decent cash flow
Lets take a stroll and roll
With me down the streets of insanity
To my left we got riches
To right we got *******
Money cars clothes
To movies or cameos on tv shows
Can't grow
With out ya name in blood
Signed in bright red ink
And devils give you link
To the secret chamber
Approach to danger if you a stranger
Only a few allowed in
Keep the secrets within
Cuz talking gets death walking
Mysterious lost with the late night hawkin' stalking
Your very instincts do you want a. Contract?
Or diamond plaque check the stats
Fool and yearn from sellin' out


Now that you stuck in the game
Can't maintain damaged brain
Went from **** to *******
With yo soul drained gotta make it rain
Without water can't get smarter
Cuz they got you in an arrested development
Too late to repent them demons sent
Meant to give enjoyment
But at the same time you in punishment
A slave to time invented by mankind
24 hour grind and rewind
Back to when ya sold ya soul
And in time you'll find
Ain't nothing nice about it
Yea you got money but you subjugated
By the fallen one trying to be show gun
But you still fallin' son


Souls going empty cuz you got no energy
Can't gain consciousness with out
Light shining upon thee
Conscious gone everything's wrong
Now you worried about what's next to come
Sell ya soul some more ******* Gore
Sacrifice a close family
And you'll get so more money
This ain't a game dog
These are real ******' hogs
Once you play in the devils yard
Ya bounded for life
Through trials and strife
Talk against them n it'll cost ya your life
Look around you
At how many people died
For mumblin' truths lies to the youth
To keep them confused
They don't even know
Who they are beyond the stars
Galaxy afar I see a spiritual war
Taking soar
Its dark clouds unfolding death shrouds
I talk loud n give a **** how it comes out
Ten rules to live by til the day I die
Read books and open up yo thirds eye no sty why lie
We stay mobbin' intellects rejects
What society sets
Though I may be persecuted and set fora high bail
But at least my Soul ain't up for sell
Whooaaaaaaaaa

My insecurities are mine, you try to heal but do not feel the insecurities that I conceal, I store them deep within myself, inside a jar upon a shelf, wear a smile braced like a Sheild, protect yourself, fight not too feel.

But you have broke me, mind and soul, kiss the imperfect make me whole, and in return I'll let you see, her who I so wish to be, I'll let you love what I cannot, for you are what I've always sought, perfection in its place a man, with loving eyes and gentle hands.

The winter sand that still remains
Along the walks and streets
Makes a sweet, seductive sound
Underneath my feet,
Like a lover clears her throat,
When about to speak...

Softly Spoken
My daughter sleeps to the sound of the ocean
softly, gently rocked
forth and afar into dreams and nightmares
a soft static blanket
the assonance of water

My daughter sleeps
to the sound of an ocean that she has never heard
a loop of imagined waves that have
never wet her feet
she has never run screaming and laughing
from the imagined horrors of seaweed, foam
Tangaroa’s arms enfolding her

As my daughter sleeps, I cry
as salty as the swells she’s never seen
in this landlocked room
slowly falling from my cheek
to land on hers
a soft saline baptism

As my daughter sleeps, my thoughts fly
wondering how I can fill her
with the awe that something as elemental
something as capricious
something as beautiful
can exist in this tattered world

but still, my daughter sleeps
I grew up on and in the Pacific. It's wild and elemental, and I miss it dreadfully.. now my daughter sleeps to a loop of the sound of the ocean and it struck me as ironic that she dreams to something she has experienced.

Listen to the rain fall,
and, carefully,
unwrap the words that
sit in the air like
raindrops frozen in time,
move slowly,
move slowly into this,
there is no rush
greater than what can come
and, already,
what is.
The sparks of the worlds
in the words shared
ignite
the neurons
fire,
but slowly,
the lightening of the night sky,
and hours late
turns the mind aflame
with just a few
special
moments.
The thunderous clap of a
sharp wit and the ocean
blue that pours from
the sky
and into the
different subjects as
it is time, again,
to grow.
Upon re-reading this, I see that it seems to revolve around a topic that was only in the back of my mind when writing. I was actually writing about something else (it's up to you to figure out what) and only intended to interweave the (seemingly) primary subject intermittently, but that's not how it turned out. I suppose that's how it happens sometimes. In any case, thank you for reading!

She spoke to me when it was quite,
In a silky voice late at night,
With hair so dark like skies at dusk,
Perfumed perhaps with scents of musk,
Saying: 'Don't hurry to get right.'
