Stages
Stages

The gift of life has many stages you see,
First the conception where we came to be
Then comes the birth where in the world we enter
Growing up falls then into the center

The fourth stage is growing old, it can be a long haul
Death is the finale, the end of it all
To some it is welcome, they're just ready to go
Tired of illnesses and feeling so low

For the loved ones it is hard, in fact it's the worst
Wondering why, to God they cursed
Not realizing that it may be for the best,
That the one they love is out of pain and finally at rest

Some deaths are untimely and that is a fact
A full life to live they may have lacked
But everything is done for a reason, don't fear
God must have needed them more than us here

Rather than grieving and feeling so sad,
We could celebrate the life that they had
Just remember to pray and to take God's hand
Because everything from the beginning has all been planned.

Lynn Swan
one in twain yet marked on a blotted page clearly intact through the surface
crimes of passion stirring inside my brutal egg shelled head summon the dead
each of us goes through things another door bell tends to ring fat lady sings you see
Misery is coming apart at the seams the refrigerator is empty we are living on ample time

Cherish those days we used to frolic in a haze like a mouse stuck in its maze so behave
these are desolate times yet we settle for ill but faded rhymes the casualties are enormous
for a stated cause that's just plain atrocious there's a thrill in us all stand up ten feet all
Give me shelter give me peace stand in its relief head down to my feet stand to repeat

Is it safe to say that their is a way leave this cup of poison learn to rejoice in some dream
Cry me a river stand and deliver yet donn't call me late for dinner I'm still a giver
lines being drawn in the sand when to fully understand you can't keep sticking it to the man
Each human heart there's an opened door willing to be explored awe so much more

Look to the orphans and widows in their affliction go to a soup kitchen stand forgiving
There's so much we can do if we put our mind to it there's nothing to it Pharoah blew it
listen before you speak stand tall and teach grow fondly in the notion of grace
Spread out upon my Peyton Place long for a mistake to seal our fate just have to wait

We have fallen on tough times someone needs to break the mends it all depends
lay hold of your brother give them love to discover set in order fond memories
mix up the human chemistry choose instead to reach toward your dynasty nothing phony
got words that rhyme that words to heal someone said its no big deal but who are they

One day at a time sweet Jesus everybody needs us time is going by faster blaster
Remember the old boom box boogy down with the socks like the famed Scott Lerock
we shall stand on top never the bottom like the lonely days of ***** keep your hats on
like Lynn Swan can't we ever get along and this is the end of this song
a lot of different  bigotry
its not a surprise its not a shock
orchestra of the ****
what possibly can take place in Korea
the current developments of nano
police brutality
whenever your being distracted ultimately you should have been paying attention
let's get back to what we know to be focusing on
if a man wants to build a wall to keep people out somethings wrong
"Fetching water with leaking bowls
Filled with lots of lost tadpoles
Coal bad governance unending scroll
I am indifferent about **** hole."

Soul Fire
hearts are torn
in the mockery of love
yet deep inside there is a flame
years ago the same
have to see it through the pain
not having you in my arms is driving me insane
a call of love out of heaven up above
lonely eyes drift out in twilight
through the violet & lavender decorum
my very soul permeates a deeper longing
waiting to be discovered underneath the covers
is it any wonder

it slips through your hands
a chance to explain again
one in twain yet marked on a blotted page clearly intact
working to hard can give you a heart attack
soul fire in a newer demension
between that of space and sound
Santana had played it best
others want to try to give it a rest
all of life is one big test
a taste of freedom in the solace of unrest
turn the page and act your age
clowns to the left of my sinners to the right
here I am stuck in the middle with you
having bitten off far more then we could ever chew
but this is nothing new
for it has all been done before
try to even the score
on your way to so much more
you hit the needle and the damage is done
comfort comes a dime a dozen
soul fire in the early morning

Light Grew Dim
the light grew dim on that Sunday morning after coming from church service
outside on the patio sat an old cat named Sam who would often run when called
The village square stood a queer in distress pull back the covers from their eyes
A beat of the clock in the town's square sought for solace amidst the turmoil
life brings on excess waste to taste make no mistake some call it fate as of late
bury me deep in the sand try to understand the way of the undertaker's hand
feeling the breeze beneath the trees chaps cut off at the knees spreading its disease

we often falter to reclaim busy staying in the game at in the zone feeling alone
got eyes that seem so very sweet got dancing feet stand to repeat

Sex & Black Velvet Cake
Love under lock and key...
an exquisite sunset, 'O' paints pretty colors, before
a maiden's heart dances, piroettes beneath the straight,
moonbeams bointe to her fate as she waits patiently
a devine key will unlock her heart,
revelation will reward her patience
a paired key is waiting on the  other side of the moon
this key courts the perfect lock
moon shadows waltz serenely under a black velvet shy
shooting stars are messengers carrying her call for you

such is black velvet cake a bit creamy to taste it permeates your stomach's residue
"An eternity, I have waited, oh how long I've dreamed of you,
Every minute of forever you'll be locked in my heart".

Oh, hear her plea, please grant her desire
End her search for her dream to come true
Raprure from above..rain, a soothing lulaby,
Floating..adrift..in dreams your key is hers
Wishing herself away to sweet, tender oblivion,
She has waited too long for your key
Dark depths of hihility, infinite space
She will await you in the middle of the abyss
Dance towards the moonbeams, they point to your face
She prays your key will unlock her dream

"An eternity, I have waited, oh how long I have dreamed of you,
Every minute of forever you'll be locked in my heart".

Are you the keeper of the key to her heart ?
Come dance with her...under the moon
Worship her in the moonlight with a passionate dance
Whisper your secrets,  exchange your trinkets,
Your key matches her heart and her heart unlocks yours
Moon shadows waltz serenely under a black velvet cake
Shooting stars are messengers, telling the rest of the world,
You've finally unlocked her heart
Dance toward the moonbeams,
They point to your fate.
*** and black  velvet cake
were living in a society
that's totally blind you see
some claim life is but a mystery
but I fainly disagree
what is to come has been foretold
many years ago in a book
many search for truth in a garbage can
let the reader understand
some walk on broken glass
alaways looking for a quick pass
others foam at the mouth then ***** and pout
yet there are few that seek the real you
you came as a babe in the manger
then sought Herod to bring danger
to **** many of the young but you escaped the ******
you came onto your own and your own received you not
was baptized by John who was well pleased
in time you would climb with prominence to some
for many wanted to keep their sin
so they took it all in but then
dismissed you to the pigs
was tempted by Satan in the desert
but your never surrendered to his hidden desires
instead insisted that he was a liar
as you were spit upon then thongs for no reason then the crucifixion
you still knew you had a plan
never gave up along the way
but instead asked the father to stay
at last it was finished
it still wasn't over
for in three days you would rise
with no surprise you visited the waiting few for breakfast
you were there from the beginning as to the end
my faithful loving friend

In The Depths Of The Sea
Nature can be a fulfillment in enjoyment with a time well spent in thought...
Look at the Albatross dashing the waves upon the sea to unfold its timeless radiance
We can choose to dig deeper then ever before as if seagulls flock overhead
There is a great cause from words chosen by a selected vine
If we seek it we shall find what we are looking for:




See the Albatross out on the sea
destined for greatness as if chosen for such a time as this
the parting kiss across the waters edge
in tumults of disguise one word to the wise
love transformed its patience in the far away banks
we are all longing in which to discover the message
The water comes in then it goes out to sea
the hopeless and the melancholy agree

with words transformed through the isle of unrest
life is but a test to teach you how to plant your feet
seek it early stand still & repeat
In the depths of the sea
the right course of its destined folly
we have come to agree
fulfilling our elaborate legacy
the want nor the need

An Uncanny Balance
see through the rook chip through the glue
under the concrete one sprang a leak
battered bridges that spicy clock
drew a map through haunted leaves,

a sip or two from red tarnish apple
fly back from Seattle
life is but a gamble
the nod of the silver screen

bows death yet in one accord
lazy diamond studded flunky
coffee is good at certain dunkin
deep through the isle of no domain

my mind wanders in case the distance
like a lightning rod to view for reference
pierce the skin to one that hides
holding hands by which to obey

laying on fig leaves,
contest featuring the make believe
we tumble for you
a yard to treasure
magnified by weather
return its favor

to gain Pac in your thinking
what were those ladies thinking
warm sock pull of the purse
Manhattan's sound to rehearse

East Coast West coast sound
avoid its magic wand
Shug died in prison
be brave to a lonely soul

out late at night to a rap beat drill
drug pushers what do they know
try to stay inside of ya
rap is cushioned to the heat
hanging on each magic beat
frame by frame,

do nature pride from the South
made its play by the east sleeping in cozy sheets
root for the underdog then you will know
inflate the common ego to some friends you should know

Pac was born a winner never call him late for dinner
light the rrow ride through in featured Camaro
cameras relate ponder one to date some call it fate
be strong through the innocent,

a red rose through the concrete
not missing a beat
the wake of shady grass
no one gets by on any free pass

linger in the sweet ambiance of the day
hearts geared toward melting away
chased dreams from her hair my loving one

Disturbed
the weight  of the world came crashing down
thoughts of suicide and I'm running wild
one can ****** in a dream with an evil scream
all your weight falls on me it brings me down
eyes, hands & feet

Shadows block the surface of the moon
as you hide away in your lagoon
you contructed pyramids to honor the dead
what is going on inside are head
lazy diamond studded  flunkies

yet the equestrian horse sits idol on the very edge of the room
shallow promises will seal your tomb
in my lifetime it was a will for power
perhaps I'll have to take a cold shower
filter through the noise with a pinch of gravity
somehow we take things in stride or let it be

life is like a roller coaster with all it's twist and turns
one soul soars while the other will soon burn
maybe its in ****** or desires and dreams
things caught up in the means
yet we have come this close not to turn back now
we vacation in Florida then return to the plough
there's a dozen of thoughts in my head
living in the land of the walking dead
can't even think to dismiss this earthly bliss with a time well spent in thought
having a dozen of pots in your sink
we torture ourselves from deep inside
many want to run away and hide
then to stay in the game the thought to light the flame
why is everybody insane ?

Keeper Of Death
How mesmerizing,
the flame that dances before my eyes
How entrancing,
as it flickers in
its provocative ways

So bright, so beautiful,
Yet so erotically evil
Consuming all that
gets in its way
How false that the
flame can be tame

A substance of life,
and keeper of death
Acting out its part in
the lives of all
Magical, helpful, yet
painfully deadly

How odd the flame is,
its characteristics frightfully
similar to those of... Love !

Where Has Love Gone
You woke one morning feeling like an unhappy song,
So empty and sad, where has love gone ?

With an ache in your heart and thoughts of the past,
Where has love gone, why didn't it last ?

A moment ago you were so happy and then, it's hard to
Figure out, when did it end

You try to recapture a moment of bliss, why did it have
To happen like this. Where has love gone; when did it leave;
Why am I so unhappy and why do I still grieve ?
Like the end of a season it came to past; what was the reason,

Why didn't it last ? The change came so gradually, why couldn't
I foresee this tragedy

I stand at the window, gazing at the sun, wondering what it was
I could have done. I try to recapture happiness long past;
Where has love gone, why didn't it last ?

The contentment and peace of that day on the beach, but a lost
Love I cannot reach. If I could have foreseen it would come to

This, I would have protected my moment of bliss,
As seasons come and go, the season for love will come again I
know. And when it does, I will relive this love and hold it fast
My lost love will come again and I know it will last.

Storm Brewing
*******
hallucination in philosphical explanation
politicians drink my wine come and smoke my tea
we all tend to disagree from all the demonic mockery
painted fences with reckless advances
no second chances have to be perfect
whom do you seek or willingly agree
cats with blue hats
working so hard can give you a heart attack
put out some slack
stubborn liberal hot headed mess
feminist
equate logic for fear

existentialism at its best
I must clearly confess
we are in quite a mess
everyone's worshipping something
got a bun in the oven
kissing your second cousin
headed for destruction
inhillation in its soul vexation
Trump in his ivory tower can't even take a cold shower
North Korea's little boy porker
where the **** is this wall ?
do we have to hear it from the voice of a no it all

barbed wire fences
extremeties to watch suckers bleed
****** on the rise
abortion on demand
when will we ever live to understand
Elder Bush try's to get some bush
the corporate greed what a ******* sleeze
busy as a bee in your society
blinded leaders of the blind
some will fall into a great ditch
then most marry a *****
yet lust isn't pure love
we sweep things under the rug
Satan laughing spreads his wings
all in all by its evil twisted means

can't help you
cause they can't even help themselves
extortioners & real liars
no one has a voice today
no one gives a ****
worried abouth Hugh Hefner ******* on his final ***
zombie creatures with viscous fangs that bite dripping blood of side
you all want to just run away & hide
its the actual day of the walking dead face full of lead
for I exist as if a vapor then I am no more
a challenge to be free is a question of time
Inside I feel pain straight up from the rap game totally insane
Trump is not the voice of me I'm in the zone working on my legacy
Got bars you see making sweet history soaring to newer heights
Fresh words to be chosen I'm frozen put on foot in the oven my cousin
Rap needs chemistry you see working on my higher degree I cleave,
Please be responible or else you'd be in the hospital keep the game close
It's your choice got bars rolling in my Royal Royce got the hook up

Hot Stuff
in the dark of the night...

beep beep... hush hush

Within our world in a rush

when push comes to shove we need a hug

things in life get pushed under the rug



these are desolate times yet we

settle for ill but faded rhymes

we look inside for something to hide

Summer's here & the time is right



block parties stirring up the scene

living in a land so very mean

short skirts and the long flowing hair

none the worse for wear



getting cozy in the back of the seat

a triple threat in effect

going to the pool hall on the way to the show

got the music in the streets



She stands alone on the edge of the street

searching her phone for names to show

out in the street where people meet

has many a lover and a friend



Going to the dance hall all dressed up

Compton Height's was a thrill that night

running in circles inside her brain

a wine, dine & a sixty nine



Soaking up the rays getting lost in a purple haze

drinking the finest wine she dines

many hearts are swollen behind the squeaky wheel

the fashionable report like Batman behind the wheel



Those Summer nights go by so very fast

having so much fun with a hope that it would last

beep beep..hush hush,

why are we in a rush



Take off the disguise no reason to hide

behind the four walls of gloom

get busy in your room

light up the sky & let's get a little high



Smoking blunts and the radio blasting

gone are the nights we used to cruise to the Hampton's

just one step at a time so stand in line

we all have a reason to smile



She's the hot stuff queen after all

Inner Silence
the decay of the leaves in late Summer
really makes you wonder
the thought of Cobblestone on the soft decor
a life that was meant for so much more
but what ?
what are we searching for in this vast domain
at night I lay silent on my bed
movement ensues & I'm left we a new fresh attitude
feelings of neck ties, streamers & bows
a peril of sorts of the fragmentation of my mind
life is being filled up with challenges to extreme
in a land that is so very mean
they want to help you but they can't even help themselves
perhaps I should put that book right back on the shelf
I will say this through the problems there is a pause of relief
maybe turn things over to a brand new leaf
let's look deep inside for we have nothing to hide
sidewalks filled with strangers who are in a great deal of danger
many have tread this barren sod before
with noble hearts let's stake our claim
not for the criminally insane
sow the love that comes from deep within your heart
then you could do your part to what it is I have been waiting for
all of life is an open door just ready for you to explore
the faint in heart will soon discover you have to press in
stay attached to the vine in his great design
in my inner silence there's a swelt of decor
the challenge for so much more lest I implore
honesty is the best policy
this will one day show on my homily
but for now I'll take it one step at a time
choose to succeed & that's it for this rhyme
115 · Apr 2018
Pacs' Philosophy
carry me through the barren leaves in braids of trees life is a known mystery
locked horns with the mere notion of joy as a bat with girl meets boy lift your head high
cool your jets lest I confess that life is but a test I must confess turn the radio on
sing a song so we all can get along smile cause it's contagious nothing outrageous
be engaged with your new jack swing did I hear the door bell ring

live long and prosper give cadence to the helper warm to shelter feeling better
keep ya head up dig long on Pac's philosophy in cosmic history ya see a breeze
dizzy in a haze thought for many days like a mouse stuck in its maze
Each of us is building our own dynasty living out our legacy into God you see
Strength comes from up above we sweep things underneath the rug gives a big hug

Homeboy got a nine to his head begging for bread face full of lead
I'm a leader and never a follower come in store lest I implore something more
playing our favorite song on the radio face on a pillow sniffing liquid jello
Hello, we must increase the beat to promote its tempo long lines being formed
Curse the very day you were born better wait your turn hearts to yearn

Spinning like a top homeboy do think a lot boogy down to the socks
got to be bilingual take you places to go like Kool Moe Dee making sweet history
faces, places & spaces...midnight traces making the Margarhetti an explosion in the mind
sipping on cherry wine everything is quite fine created from a great design

Voices In My Head
the voice of Christ
come to me with sweet tranquility
a peace that passes all understanding
listening before speaking
to the dull moonlight in the Hamptons

A reason of being with the changing of the seasons
voice of darkness
wants me to burn in the pit
It doesn't give a ****
mountains of madness ensues to take over

A voice of reason is by choice
to hear a power greater then self
perhaps to put that book right back on the shelf

Trees
learning the breeze stay clear  from the foam
living your life some where all alone
break peace from the bread you used to know
lone in decision pressed clear by my own'

in the distance trees  those legend of spring solstace bread
whet is going on in my head
all colors of grey, peach and cream
the solstace of what is beiing  seen

mockry the space torn odyssy
a brigade of the most triumphant be

Still Got Me in The Game
my philosophy is that my peeps are glad to see a different side of me
we can humbly agree the streets are not the same when everyones playing the name game
got Eminem still on his way to fame but don't forget about Nas cause he's no lost cause
got beats from my hip sipping on the line when everybody around you is quite fine
fashionable jeans with Goochie hand bags forget about North Korea and their sand bags
Trump in is ivory tower but why do we even bother to keep on hearing him holler
there's reason for my being in the changing of the season with Drake in good taste
this is the melting *** so watch it shine cause Vitale is in the mix so kiss his behind
its your choice to salute the flag or not or have you forgot this spoken melody
those are the things we used to see while were out there getting our college degree
save the drama for your momma and we can't forget Obama he such a charmer
but you knew it would be like this getting caught up in the mix waiting for your next fix

like a jewel in the Nile we can learn all the great while we got a shoulder to stand
with an infinite plan to spread it out upon the masses no one deserves second classes
our history books have proven that we need to take part in a solution
a nation united in love but some of us want to sweep things under the rug
got high hopes for the undersground sound cause they still got me in the game
not grabbing that text is like driving me insane but who are we to blame
with cats having blue hats they stuggle for assistance in joing in the resistance
we got to learn to fight the power or take a nice cold shower
don't look down on me cause I'm not dead yet but I'm going to be the man you'll never forget
make the melody gell with you and me then you will see sweet lasting harmony.

Unity
early I will seek thee
faintly I want to find you
in my soul unwhind me
all those thoughts that bind me
tolerance
whimiscal I will fondly flee
brevity
painted faces etched in stone
across the sky I see
holy is your name dear Lord
unity

times will be no more
most lovingly implore
hence the opened door
as a beacon of light
to a hurting world in need
love in its one achord
violence to you is often taken by force
as the child that you want me to be
living forth a real legacy

Insomnia
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my dreams to keep,
While I lie here counting sheep
bargain basement tunes..,
sift right through their applause
my name is right exposed to the notion white
I look to there slight reflection of ther maker believe,
my notion of a parade
Cape Cod is the slightest of hand when to understand...
My sight is to live by faith
Reflection in the way it used to be
Had some fun as a Roman Catholic
burden by their ****** of Chase Avernue
slightest of hand exposed in ther fight
let heer screeam among the even flow
unlerashed freom the supervised
giver cadernce to the pardon plug
onto the most slightest of hand when to underestand
my pulser keps beating...
onward to the faint of harm
here I am left alond in my room

greased thern, slightest of hand,
beyond there fragrant blow
shaped through the window dusted roll
some call me Colton puzzled array
streong weralth in caderncer minus ther inside flow
the outere fig nut tree
caused a mellon breeze,
stregnth in ther mortage
many moons ago let the truth be told of two stolen soul's
a common breeze from the trees had knocked me to my knees
there stood two men in question one was Mike the other Jack
it was clear to the native eye that Mike Hunt wanted to further his education
so he made plans to take a break on a long awaited vacation
it was at a deserted island that he met Jack
pause to think before you over react
the pair made a cocktail of Gin

do you know where to begin all over again
through the barbed wire fences out their building trenches
Mike Hunt and Jack Meoff knew a man named Jose
he said it ought not be that way
she was wearing her Sundays best
but I must clearly confess;
knew it was but a test but now I rest
a hired man with a gun
shoot her down now she's gone
the papers read all red
with thoughts inside her head
running here & their

my momma was a ******
she saved all her money
she was a big phony
full of bologna
now she is gone but her memory lingers on
she was sitting on the right side of the pew
dazzling red dress
pearls in her arrangement;

didn't want to do it but it was too late we set the date
the bullet would seal her fate
but not too late she would contemplate;
it was too late

From The Heart
If it means anything to anyone in this group I love everyone equally I'm a lover not a fighter. Life is to short to have hatred in your heart. So if you want to believe in God fine if you don't that's fine to. I'm not here to argue even though my reference to pig ***** was a little rough though. No, you are all free agents to do whatever you choose in this life. No, I'm not being a coward I'm just expressing my real heart felt sentiments inside. Just some thoughts by which to ponder or perhaps a heavenly call from up yonder ?

Some say Love
the pitter patter of soft rain
falling, falling, falling to the shore
I held your hand tight next to me
inside your eyes I could see a distant future
filled with both hope & warmth for a brighter tomorrow
amidst the bitter silence
love is a heart that's been blown apart
love is in the moment when one shows it
if we each do are part to make are life brighter
want to take you much higher

a call to all of us who have drifted away
from are first love that wants you to stay
inside many hide behind four walls that seal
some insist that it's no big deal
a whisper in the sunlight on the pool of rivers edge
heaven has a delight to come & see
many settle for the make believe
while others watch as you bleed
but I want the best to all that this world can give
for its heart ache and misery
I told you when you left me there was nothing to forgive
It's hard for me to say your happy without me

Some say love in how they feel
Some insist it to be no big deal
Some will lie behind it's squeaky wheel
but we must all do are part to what it is we need to go
Until thy kingdom come & thy will is done
my arms will unfold your heart in the sun
we will make it if we try
with that said I can not lie
we all are in for a great surprise
I was born in 1970 Bristol hospital.
A young nurse took me in her arms and said that I would one day become a success,
As the years would pass I was heavy in the arts used to sing and act.
Was an altar boy at St. Pius Church.
In time I would act in my senior class play, "The Mystery Of Edwin Drood"
Where I had the lead role as the Narrator,
I touched many hearts with that performance in 1989,
Was hospitalized with mono that same year for two weeks long,
Also that same year I became prom king of my class Wolcott High School,
After the break up with my first grilfriend in 1989 I wrote the poem entitled, "Remembrance of a loved one" where I had it published on poetry.com
As the years passed I would write over 4,000 poems and 5 short stories toward my platform,
My poetry is based on the free verse style of writing,
Was published in 10 venues such as Writerscafe, Neopoet, Hello poetry, Poem Hunter, Booksie, Poetryvibe, Poetrysoup, Starlifecafe.com, Poets Know It & poetry.com...
I was saved by God at the tender age of nine in Charlotte Carolina where I came to know the Lord that was in 1979,
Today I continue to write poetry was published on Spillwords, High On Poetry, Tuck Magazine & Setu Magazine.
My main emphasis in writing poetry is to share with the mass populace touching many hearts.




Coffee & Me

Cashmere sweater
by my pillow
coffee out on the patio
austere nights radiating days
I drive the midnight train
cascading falls
personification of misfortune
alone again
in my beckoning thoughts
savor the message
the dew or the frost

lipd dreams with hay
a newer way
to create a want nor a need
breath
although temptress flys
I roll the dice
the feeling a longing
Rosemary & Spice
the coffee had a bitter taste
a little tea saved for next time
a good cause to end this rhyme


Cry Me A River

Many have a hard time understanding
They live for self and that of society
They are the walking dead yet they don't even know it
Eyes with blackened spots having holes
Viscous fangs with blood dripping off the side
You share with them the truth
They choose to run away & hide
Yet deep inside they may still question
Why am i here ?
They can't even help you
Cause they won't help themselves
They are the **** of the land
Much too afraid to stand among the son of man
A bitter taste
Do they want salt or sugar coated messages
Positive reinforcement strengthens the heart
Negativity kills it
Each of us has been given a choice
We must lend a helping hand with a voice
All of us have been given a choice
Now which pathway will you choose ?



Driftwood & The Timber Wolf

shake the moments from my brow my dear precious child
love has a fountain emerging ever glowing & growing
we seek solace after the noon day's sun for inspired taste

let us reflect upon the innocence

marked upon a thirst for more let us go to such a place
where the temptress is dried from the eye
the hallow mark from a distant passerby
shadows block the vortex from the sun

wandering wandering
ever running

the driftwood so innocent just sitting there
the Timber Wolf so explosive with great power

a venture of course to distribute a great new way
let us reflect upon the mere simplistic innocence


A Whisper In The Dark
A whisper in the dark
With tones of darkened madness
Shattered dreams filter through the seams
The sound of silent whispers
Vibrations
Taunt the mind
I'm being caught up in this fix
Whirlwind
Satan laughing spreads his wings
The mood of solitary confinement
Blackened ideals are gone
Worry sets in
The fragile egg shelled shape of the mind
Poe was exposed to this madness
Cobain even joined the side of resistance
Morrison was in a drug torn stupor
Joplin sang it's blues
There is a flag flying high toward it's solidarity
The ideal thought of being sane takes a back seat after all
Helter Skelter
Many have tasted it's evil demise

The Children Of The Never Light
the more I see through open eyes,
fools come my way with alibis
playing the game of chance with mankind;
I touch a shattered sky with a broken heart,

confusion and darkness in my mind
I run away from truth, blood on my hands, as other look through blind eyes...
promises of true blue, touch a tender heart before it's ripped and scorned,

Give me a reason to believe, give me hope of a new day of being born...

Give a child a chance to be filled with wonder, time for laughter
sunshine stars, colorful wishes
Sweeten the years with honey, touch a child with honest hugs
Grant the Children of ever Light deep slumber,

as my heart whips apart, bitter, old, worn
The stars themselves shine, but dim next to her beauty
Lest a flower wilt, it may come to bloom again by
the tenderness of her smile

I have seen this wonder of wonders, of magical stardust dancing in
moon shadows of the night sky,
touched by the whispering beat of her heart,
For within her eyes, I am the Star child.

Take Off Your Masks
We all have issues in this life none of us is perfect. There will always be someone better then you in this life. But you can be the best you can be in the mean time. See positive reiforcement strengthens the heart. Good things should be told to each other to keep each other solid. A living breathing human being is what we are with real feelings. Some of us are dessensitized to this very notion of thought. Afraid to express their true emotions. Instead they harbor under a false hidden garb of compromise. Let us return to the fundamental basics of love that truly made this country great. Stop being something your not. We each wear masks that are easily taken off from time to time. Just be yourself people can tell is your lying or not. Most importantly God knows the real you the one deep down inside that people try to hide away from society. Be people of positivity ask for the favor of almighty God & share with each other his mighty love. Amen

Enigma
Light of illumination
filled the tiny vortex of my mind
A world colored river earth cloud and storm
Forestry crosswinds and fire

Ah natural madness beautiful madness
A sweet perfect chaotic choir
So I can drown snug in a sublime mire
And stand under waterfall of senses and bathe

Only to replenish the infinite orb of me
The glow of life this heavenly orb
Kept within everyone's old locket of sight
Then express I into free and walk into flight

With burdens plus pain hung from swift wings
Exploring portraying recording
The when and the being
Holding inside

Emotional spin time keep in heart beats
Thought sweeps and breath leaps
Yes forever in glide
Another man holding time

Using soul as a guide and breathing in deep
This life my soul reaps

Lock up the wolves 2
Lock Up The Wolves 2

I listen to my words but they fall far below
I'll never make the same mistake
carnality lifting through the extreme
blinded decorum of harmful interludes
there isa cave with evil twisted ways
caverns filled with darkened conclaves
dark viscous fangs that bite dripping blood off side

the highway indian spirit burning riding on Hell's highway
the sound of a motorcycle engine exploding
a sound of laughter beneath it's swell
a highway to Hell
decorated plains headed as nomadic tribesmen
darkened caverns of high volume of steel
in the darkened dungeon in the pit of death
when no one cares or gives a ****
the motorcycle gang was coming out swinging
a crowd of social anarchy in the midst
the less a man thinks then so he does
we sweep things underneath the rug
here we celebrate in a new caged swing
the way the fallen apart at the seams
the wolves were in a tragic scene
things falling apart at the seams
beady little eyes with blood off side
locked away in the solitude of the moment
caged barbaric conquest through the battle
black smoke of radiating heavy metal exploits

Fall
Fall

The summer season has passed us by
And the beauty of autumn and fall is here
There is always a lot of celebrations,
Because this is a special time of year

With the leaves changing colors
And slowly falling to the ground
it makes me still joyful;
To see that you're still around

This time of year
Seems to be the happiest of them all,
With all of the holidays coming up,
Everyone wants to have a ball

With the winter approaching
it starts to get cold;
People's attitudes start changing
And love and kindness become ten fold

With the days becoming shorter,
And the nights increasingly long
It makes it more possible
For people in love to get along

Like chestnuts roasting on an open fire
it helps to make the seasons bright;
And with just one smile from you
Would light up my life every night

We Are All Colored People
Don't call me a ***** if your late for dinner
stand still to deliver
each of us came from Adam
Adam was a black man never working on his tan
you understand the races, faces & spaces
words can hurt and words can bring down
stay in front of the line never getting down
so you wear a frown in your very fine hood
perhaps your up to know **** good

We are all colored people
we can each hold hands at the church steeple
everyday there's a brand new baby born
and at night got the covers to keep us warm
I mean no disrespect nor harm
so sound the alarm
I'm like Michael Jackson, "Looking at the man in the mirror"
honestly to be my hero

Into The Arms Of Rap
into the arms of rap that's where its at buiding through the confusion in fusion
got flames coming out my baseball cap I'm in need of a nap keep close to the doorway
fresh rhymes I'm still on time you maybe brave see me at the arcade park my Benz in back
folks tend to over react but I tip my hat got news for you all bridge the gap know what's up

Chilling at the grill with my girl sporting heavy studs think that I'm in love you see
there's brilliance in a piece mark the ege of my teeth stand still & repeat
bars watching souped up body kit cars looking to the stars a view from Mars
Pina Colada does anyone grow fond of Starsky & Hutch another push

grasping with tender faith in my hand when will folks understand stick it to the man
years have passed still having every reason to grasp the solitude in that I'm still in a good mood...
Feeling high anxiety got folks sitting next to me living out my legacy of what I used to be
Sipping my favorite sauce to the max you tend to over react got to stay in the zone

Summer time boogy time get your cash and stand in line frozen in time
Through a variation of a dream peeps do scream eating delicious ice cream
Souped up high hat as if in a tempo taking you places that you need to go
playing a little Spanish fly i got words by the fly your my favorite guy

on my human side stand still I'm happily alive got to put first things first
this is how i flirt got words for Lavert put back your gold in a purse
Trump is getting busy but he makes me awful dizzy better listen to Thin Lizzy
they say i'm institutionalized but I got words from the hive it's best to dream big
right on ford Betty to explore
cope on the sight with innocence to might
love is destined to might left out of sight
bump and grind left tumbling might
execute winter to the Summer May
there comes the morning block the notion
rollercoaster..rollercoaster..Smile  to deliver
stranger to encounter Spider Man,
love to answer

love's web forward
paint a picture in my mind
face to face...
sorrow to inflate
a beginning to its bitter end

Spider Man
I shoot webs from my hands.
When people see me, they say there goes Spider-man.
A few years ago I was bitten by a radioactive spider.
After my uncle was murdered, I became a crimefighter.

My spider sense tingles and I can sense danger.
When I brought in my uncle's killer, I was full of anger.
I have spider strength and I can climb walls.
When I battle villains, I defeat them all.

I fight the Green Goblin, Doc Ock and other villains too.
It's what we superheroes have sworn to do.
Because of my contribution, the police just arrested the Kingpin.
Villains constantly try to defeat me but they never win.

Love Is King
in the vast expanse between time & space
every so often
we encounter a feeling
coming across two souls realing
the inner quest to let freedom ring
your love is king
to ***** portals filled with lavish vain glory
the truest essence of the story
a cause to reflect upon life & it's meaning

look again my friend to a humble abode
vested in pure gold
to fit like a glove in a mold
we got are hearts fixed on seeking self to please
will get knocked down on your knees
start spreading its disease
love is king
the birds do sing
a time  well spent in thought
of a lover's quarrel the changing of the season
have we forgotten others for a reason

our love gets blocked twisted to the side
we all want to run away & hide
a vast expanse of things choose your friends wisely
burst  out of things that bind you
Sade was right
your love is king

Follow Your Heart
Magic breathes life in our hearts
Destiny resides in our souls
Our path now shimmers unshadowed by the night
With one embrace partnered by a tender kiss, the bounds

of time and distance crumble through fingers like drifting
grains of sand
Dream time is the place where I am alive
Green eyes ripple into lipid pools where miracles draw me

to your heart
I am free to swim by your side until the sun sets and
rises with you again
Life is my dream

I love you

Real Talk
bruh, there's a lot going on with your life you got school and responsibilitties
yet lets get back to the basics of love where we start to care deeply for each other
keep a quiet date to set your claim where you can breath & stay in the game
in quiet moments such as these come to your inner senses let go of all hate

practice what you preach even share this in the streets where peeps do meet
inside you may want to hide behind four walls that ruin ya'll know what your doing
Smile with your head lifted up to the sky as your slated time passes by
let there be no mistake we need to calm down and meditate take a deep breath in

yeah, I know you got drama in your life a taste of bitter spice but this will pass
stay true to yourself just like a soldier going out to war calm your nerves down
Honor your father and mother my brother that things may go well with you
although deep inside you may want to run away and hide that's a bad idea

shoot from the heart you will light the inner spark to where you need to go
stop your swearing even though that could be tough but it pays to have good conduct
never rush pushing others ver the edge stand your ground instead of painting the town
Real talk from me to you from the heart stay true cause your the only one you got

Prairie In The Wind
Prairie In The Wind
Here in April,
the prairie wind at my back
while white clouds mottle scarce
new grass, I hold in my hand
what has stayed in the jacket for all
the long months since November
Seeds carried through cold times
since that dark day I stripped them, waiting,
from rusty plumes in my fence line;
Turkey Foot, Big Red, Blue Bluestem-
names for an old and simple grass saved
from the plow. Most I scattered on earth far
removed, scratched a shallow bed before the frost
These few are left, a pocket legacy, warning me,
a bit of prairie to seed that other earth
I hold inside my mind

Remembrance of a loved one
take me take me to the ocean summertime summertime
Awe to be young & in love
the tender hand touches a chord
pressed between an object and some fancy free

Embrace the wandering mind into a vintage song
how you have fought so hard and fierce
my one truest love is gone from here
a challenge to be free is a quest of time

my one solution is in using my mind
living on the edge and its going to my head
sitting up at night all alone in bed
following the rainbow to the sky

I see a vision of you pass me by
Our war we are in is almost over
it's so hard to believe I lost my lover
loving you is so untrue that's why I must say to you

your too young to fall in love if you don't stop you'll just get shoved

Step Off
gravity
homeboy got capped in the knee
out in the streets
let the truth be told
where as years ago
with Grandmaster P
he was born in the gutter
his momma was a *****
selling her junk in the trunk
in back of the liquor store
screaming more more more
raised my his aunt named Mable
feeding her dog Rex underneath the table
as time went by so very fast
having every reason to ask
the spin off the hook was the great ******

in time he learned to relax
to bask in the vast expanse
cause he got the hook up
two turn tables with a mic
sold a lot of  **** to get that sweet
getting he *** kicked in a neighborhood bar
still spinning records the best he can
"Step off" with his reply whenever he was tested
his life reflected a reason to believe in rap
a willingness to achieve
that was until a gang banger put a bullet through his head
shot him dead so they thought
now he was in a hospital bed face full of lead
there he suffered in complete silence
amidst all the pain & violence
tubes in his veins lying there dead
then came a pulse
next a heart beat
his eyes suddenly opened
folks thought he was only joking
came fully to his senses
with eyes twitching

spoke his first words, "Step Off"
then we all knew he was alive and kicking
then he gazed at the streets looking for the one that did this
instead of violence he sought forgiveness even to the **** that struck him down
Master B was right back in the studio
rapping & capping
he found love as a sure fire way to go
that was years ago so today he still preaches to the masses
always teaching on love and his free passes
"Step Off" is still his slogan but he's got a new boss now
can't turn back when your hands on the plow

America
In all the world there's just one place
Where people's lives are filled with grace
Where a person's life is filled with trust,
Where protection of their legal rights is a must
And the people elect the rulers they trust

Justice and personal freedom are rare
In a world where many leaders don't care
About moral values and the people's welfare
Where family life and a person's pride
Are trampled underfoot if they don't abide

Here in our road trip across America, religions are respected and free
To practice their beliefs just as they see
And here in America, education for all
is a goal that we've set, and though it hasn't been met,
We're on our way, on this you can bet

We have a beautiful land, and we're fortunate indeed
That our ancestors were smart and brave enough
To seek freedom in a new land even thought it was rough,
And in many wars American solders have died
To preserve this freedom that's our greatest pride.
sound fetters trace the ******
to what we have been waiting for
life is an open road map for you to follow
in nature we could long to capture a true lesson
forgetting the pain with bias to strain
we graduate from age to age
only to discover which clear way to wonder
in solitude we develop a keen sense of togetherness
shallow peaks mark the man willing to explore
the vast expanse in the opened door

as such with the Willow Tree faint & embodied
we gravitate toward mountains with a ceiling of vast design
each of us can soar as high as the eagle fly
through solace there's a lesson
is there something I'm forgetting
the message of love can send shivers
through the spine of the wanting & needy
this is what we are willing to achieve
a timeless quest to get down on your knees
look at the bumble bee in pursuit for its nectar

get captivated with a smile cause we know all the while
a child is lost without family & friends
the willing source by which to depend
out of common courtesy one is open for suggestion
as such as two lovers plunge in the arms of each other
the plunder of conquest as all of life being a test
ruthless tyrants that run a muke
if we pause deep enough for a solution
to build are hearts on its restitution
mend your ways this much I pray
couldn't have it in any other way

Bring On The Love
Stop this hate. Stop this killing. Stop this
talking. Stop this watching. Stop this dislike
of color of humanity. Like you and me can do
something about it. Let's do something. Let's
change the things that we can. Listening to
what our children have to say, let's love. Let's
read to our children, let's read. What's! to
read? If you look at their little faces, you will
see, the need to read. Maybe a poem, a story
of love, the bible, or sing a song. It starts at
home. You can see. You can hear the crying
in the street, You can feel the hurt in your
heart before you hear the news. Oh, they are gone, and what a good child. We
will say. I saw them out of school one day. I
saw them in a place that they shouldn't have been.
I saw them with a cigarette. What did I
do? What did I say? I closed my eyes and went
on my way. What did I do? What did I say? I
could have given some love and understanding.
Stop this hate, stop this hate.
Let's give love instead.
Innocent I am just an innocent baby, just arrived on your planet
I was born in sin my flesh is weak
God knows it's
I was born with a gift of love,
My mother used to tell me that she loved me, and I
Was special gift from God,
I am going to take my love and fling it all over the universe
When my love touches you, you will know it.
The feeling that I will leave with you,
You won't have any doubt about it,
For you will be awaking up at dawn and think it is morning,
And wake up in the morning and think it is midnight
And wake at midnight and think it is dawn.
For you will know that I am here for my love is
Innocent, and real, and you will know it's, for I
Arrived here! And know it!
Christmas is for midgets spread out in a given circumstance,
focus...view...take notice a chord of given chance you guess
success...in view of restraint...artist doth paint, hero's faint
demonstrate, a clear episode to make salt Peter will fade
grab a hold of the mystery smile want in praise of a video smile
be proud of who you are the melody as you can go far
you shining star...

that's my baby filled with stone a grab of Hershey's Chocolate to conform,
blight by the house turned to dust we are sad but trust
climb the corporate ladder as you may feel
a rolling pin the quest to make a deal,

here I aim to refuse its *** appeal
Roger rabbit,
flurry a habit
follow me down as the fate of disaster..,

flood of berry's that may hinder the travel
may come back in the body wrap
shapes of mere notice in the episode of make believe
I'm against guns but  Ted Nugent wants to search for that tender need,
borders, controllers & booster,

what has begun of your pale sister
season crop makes a big deal
plain as you walk finish what you have been taught
by your self underneat the tree with a smile

a near room mate treasured as you smile
Trump want the wall...spring a tooth from mouth my sweet no it all twice,
promise to love and not to hate a burdened smile of silver fate
draw a line through the sun stay for room to have a bit of fun

while your glued to your seat take a sip of warm ***
building bridges to complete what comes out so very naturally,
snake pit, lions den..you need some one to be your friend
Christmas IS More Then ****** In A Work Shop Please

Bruh, I know your up but it’s getting late
I got to make peace with you
Hommie I have bitten off more then I could chew
I’m sweating from the new day’s sun
now I know your in for a bit of fun
you got your trash barrels over by a raccoon
now go clean up your room
but I need to return to the basics & keep it real
many dismiss this thought as no big deal
we got hustlers on the street selling crack
working so hard today can give you a heart attack
yet my chief aim is to hold my head up high to the sky
got many thoughts & a dozen of pots in my sink
can’t even dismiss this earthly bliss in a time well spent in thought
the shadows outside block my inner pain
not having love in my heart is driving me insane
who said that life was fair when your driving in the fast lane
not sense Lois Lane & Clark Kent made a dent
Stop all this hate that going around
so we got Trump comb over in his ivory tower
blind eyes of bats and wheels that squeal
got junk in your trunk saying no big deal
I’m going to keep it real start honoring your mother and father
I know what your saying why even bother
It’s good to stay in school & obey the golden rule
many hustlers are in jail cause they all seem to fail
by pool sticking & kicking it where their nose don’t belong
like Rodney King said can’t we all just get along
got reverend Al & Jessie Jackson always looking for some action
return to your first love before its to late call this fate
merciful one come take this chip off my shoulder
stop this senseless fighting as are nation grows a bit colder
just be happy for who you are in the inside
instead we choose to hide behind a plate of glass
smoking your grass no one in this life gets by on a free pass
systems blasting & the radio’s on
it’s never too late to hear the end of this song

Tribute To America
God bless America
The greatest nation of them all
Where fairy tales, have been told
By the young, and old
About the legends that took place,
In this wonderful land of ours

A country so full of music,
Such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's,"Southern Cross",
A rebel thought laughter and love
With natural science too,
While our solar ships,
Kept orbiting, the earth, and sky

As our nation dreams came true,
When our aeronautics pioneer'd
On the moon,
While out of the summer haze,
Came the pony express rider,
galloping towards the far horizon,
With the countries mails,

Those! were the days, that caught
The imagination, and glory, for the
People's of this nation.
God bless !
Our great country America
The greatest nation on earth,
A land of courage, and bravery,

With liberty, and democracy,
While we raise our heads,
High with honor, and dignity
To pay homage, to our great leaders
Men, like Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy,
Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, and George Washington
Those ! were the great men of our times,

As we think of their sad departure
While we stand, side by side.

Angelic Frolic
Hope springs a new
On a cloud in heaven
Stand a heavenly angel
With mere beauty of crystalized light
Golden emblems encrusted their frame
Sweet songs drifting to a very faint whisper
Eyes, hands & face
A real message sent down to earth
To care for those lonely souls all alone
There beauty is a surprise to encounter
Slipping through locked doors to appear
Many have shed a tear to numb the inner pain
Causing accidents not to happen
They appear in the form of brightened miracles
We see them with a heart all a glow
Come to the birth of a new born baby
Come to servicemen who just joined the navy
You will see them at a graveyard setting
Even among gamblers who do there betting
There all around us you see
For all of life is but a mystery

sit back ******* with a higher degree
your name is encrusted as distant timber under the leaves
Terror awaits the slogan a notion to rock & roll
splishing and splashing with no place to go,
bust up the beat to promote its tempo

Music across the pond,
a hint to vainly belong
having trouble to the new walk swing
then it rolls its nature from with again
I can dig the premonition from the falling rain,
Stairway To Heaven
not a one stop shopping event to a routine store stop seven eleven
paint a picture from beyond,
leaves None other then Motorhead, "Ace Of Space" !
brother pray for me brother connect to the falling leaves
transport a super couper honest Alice Vinny Cooper
cast a Flamingo
traverse to haunt the cold chilled places to go
through a river to impress a polished kit cement

Such an encounter in 1969 Jimmy Hendrix and his Experience
in the bushes forced on *** sorry that we met
not a noble jib to eternailze,
playing Star Spangle Banner
In the heavens beyond the moon has landed...

1984
Signal the phone fare from home...

Savor the shower cool as the wire
Shadows the plot thinking a lot;

lone rivers to each run
the cascading falls to rivers edge,

1984
a shadow escape to grab the bait
through barrren sky a slight lulabye

People swing open chards of food to display;
love is the condition to let things go
parade through the historic swing
silence is some what a virtue,

comedy stuck inside of me
George Orwell spins to turn
right to the edge of time
brace for the opinion
shallow pool of gold

1984
my stomach swell
engaged on puree hell
follow faces to cling to gold
spreading beat the news
credit launched to case...
