You tell me I'm not passionate
although, I cannot grasp
how you presume this.
Passion is a form of art.
Please tell me which two artists
paint,
draw,
compose,
write,
interpret,
express
objects in the exact same way?
Just because we see/do things differently than others does not mean they do them wrong or do not do them at all.  It's called viewpoints and being individuals.

Once, they rode strong on the plains
Before conquistadors bent their will.
  
Strained their backs, cracked their whips
Made them wear strange hides and speak strange tongues.

  
Refrain:
But when the time is right
To turn the tide
But not without great loss
To turn the tide!

  
Part II:
Come again, oh strong one
Strengthen your will, stand tall
Remember the Lost Ones and the glory!
  
Restore freedom in your heart
Replenish well your table, love the earth
Ride free again and tell your story!
  
Pick up your arrow, shoot it straight (x2)
  
  
Forced to swallow all the shame
And leave dying ashes and broken pearls
  
So once, they rode strong on the plains
But now, there's dying ashes and broken pearls
  
Broken pearls
Broken pearls.....
Just a few words on mental decolonising.....maybe.

Walking along this winding path makes her  feels isolated and the absolute loneliness makes her more afraid.

Each move is made so carefully in the anticipation  that the pandemonium will surely invade.

When will she know which way  to go, when will it be clear to her which turn she must take to be  free.

The courage that will guide her home is there buried inside but sadly she just can't see.

A force much more powerful than she may ever realize is flowing thru her body now.

She struggles to be all that they expect her to be but her problem is she can't even begin to fathom how.

Poison spoon fed the nodding King and ended ancestors.

Holy cows bought government *****
and ate suicides grown by ***** Kubla Khan gospels.

Shantih, Leviticus, and other proper thoughts
kissed arms of air and made islands from memories of breakfast.

Eternity perished in the illusion of swallowed tongues
in the belly of an infant—
and yesterday,

Only one bullet of hallelujah stood swimming.
"It’s a war going on outside we ain’t safe from
I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago"--Kanye West "****** to Excellence"

Ayaba Babe
with every starry sky,
i still search for the big dipper.
stripping the constellations
searching for something bigger
than the compilation of love
or whatever it was
that we feathered through the sand that night.

that was the last time that we were together
you and i
lonesome
under the moonless sky
seen only by the eyes of God.
guided only by the light
and the might of the stars,
no matter where you are:

with every starry sky,
i still search for the big dipper.

every time our eyes collide
the constellations quiver
every time
you look into my eyes
i see you riding the tides of my skies
sliding along the slopes of my little dipper
abiding the strokes of my heart to beat quicker
searching for something bigger
than the compilation of love
or whatever it was
that we feathered through the sand that night.

that was the last time that we were together.
the weather has shifted many times since then,
it has now been awhile.
yet, still now
the compilation of your smile
is the only pile of shine
that can blind the vastness of my mind

every time

you look at me

i drown in the vastness of the seas
that flood the skies of your eyes
with every starry sky,
i still search for the big dipper.
upon it,
when both our eyes linger
i can feel the shiver
of the astronomical quiver

when i'm guided by the stars,

you never feel quite so far.
Hello happy,
hide the shadow sorrow-
I’m here to tell you,
I’m your smile for tomorrow.

Of winters blue, and summers green,
Of beach and sea and leaves serene,
I promise to tell you,
The truest beauty I  have ever seen.

A love day,
On its way,
Happy valentines.
I can only hope you will
believe it in these lines.
