I live in order to expose the lie

The lie of self is shattered when I walk by,
For I could never live up to your standard
Under your selfish thumb...
Now today I'm numb,
Under your very selfish thumb...

For I'm not some puppet on a string.
Do you all know what I mean ?
Yet I still can't put my finger on it,
Still in front of us there lies a legacy of death...
It smells like teen spirit

We have no where to hide
In order to deter the ride,
Hence to hide from all the pain
Yet we all tend to compromise,
Can't we see through all those jealous lies... ?

For today, who lay's the claim ?
This greedy sabatoge can make one insane
Yet who sets the claim ?
Were only dealing in some bargain basement shame
Such a soft reply,

In order to build up enough faith
This is in order to pass the ultimate test,
The pathway that lies to the common restitution...
Perhap's I should start a new found revolution
Hence away from what you all learned in school

No one can't find this in a bar or even in a pill
To turn our backs on evolution
Yet sin still comes at a heavy price,
For one given chance at which to roll the dice...
Still when a person is in great need

Society today gets a bit greedy in order to watch one bleed
Still the sharks prawl around in search of their meat,
By sticking their sophisticated noses in the air
Who the Hell would care,
Those hot headed ****** lead many to despair

in the dark days of old let the truth be told
where mere nobels tread to hide away from the pain
in scarlet thread with quaint visions in their head
a beacon of light to a much hurting world in need of love

there she awaits in the parlor by the floor
a quaint encounter lest I implore,
visions of Lavender hue out on the lawn
the Sparrow faint of song

Caress the kiss of a new day's dawn
in song the reproach of dazzling thoughts
a kiss from her hand maiden to increase the flow
take you to quaint places you ought to know

she often sat by the pond to hear the smooth scent of a lively swan
her tormentors would lurk with envy in their eyes
Maple with syrup leading on her breakfast toast
like a lost seagull out on the coast

the temptress of fire down to the wire
nestled in her suede hat was a little pea
as if a chalice dancer blown away with a hint of laughter
come together through the shutters to appeal to the senses

falling, falling & burning
heads were turning as if butter was churning
gasped for breath in the place of resistance
there she sat alone the temptress & the pea

hoping someday that a fine gentleman would marry thee
to close of the river Nile deafening the blow
there are some things you ought to know
draw out the faint of heart to increase the mighty ego

reflections
never second guessing
professing
a challenge to be free is a question of time

Capitalism
North Korea
Tear Down The Wall
Trump is on the mountain

Lines are being drawn in the sand
When to understand
we can't keep sticking it to the man
Burning bridges

faces, space & burning the midnight oil
taking to long to watch the water boil
Have we forgotten our true freedom,
lies dormant stretched the imagination

A hero's welcome has been long forgotten
Try to forget about Ben Laden
there's a fork in the road along life's journey
A challenge to be free is a question of time

Learn to gather the hands together
Black & White
search with all your hearts
To ignite the flame to light the torch to what we are waiting for

No more clowns, fake news & Marie Tyler Moore
lest I implore another open door
tear down the wall already
Seek truth with everything you got !

The bones are brittle
as are the thoughts
they crumble
events of yesterdays that never happened
things that happened not remembered
today becomes another time
faces and events mingle
become a crazy quilt

He sits and stares
unaware of a spreading map
in his crotch that moves down
his legs and becomes a puddle
at his feet

His hands dangle at his sides
veiny gnarled
twitching
are they waiting for some message
from that dead brain
his pulse is almost an insult

They say he feels no pain

Repent and believe the gospel. This means with God's help you do a 360 & turn to Christ. We can't do this in our own stregnth that means you must pray and wait for the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit to come over your life. Times of refreshing will come you just need quiet times alone with God. Reading his word, pray and meditation. The Christian life is not any easy road to travel. One must live by faith not by sight. Jesus knows all about your daily struggles. He provides a way of escape through fellowship with other believer's in the household of God. It's a day by day process of asking for forgiveness and true repentance. One must not be lazy or stagnant on the path. In the end you will see Jesus Christ face to face and lay your crown at his feet. He said my yoke is easy and by burden is light. Fight the good fight !

get back to the basics busting fat laces running the bases
it used to be cool to obey the golden rule yet that went out the door in 64
open the door for your neighbor then you can chill on a different ice cream flavor
getting fat beats to the rhyme  at the rhyme as a reason in the changing of the season
walk with me talk with me through the passage of time get things in line
went back to the old sand box playing jax bringing along your lunch box sack
have I hit a tender nerve yet the time you'll never will forget
start spreading the disease out living as you please best to get down on your knees
homeboy talk a lot is that what he is doing you bit off more then you were chewing
get back to the basics in flirting faces trading spaces all over each places
remember is was customary to carry your book for your girl that was quite a thrill
take to the limit one more time with Slick Rick & Doug E. Fresh putting you all to the test
there was a lodi dodi in the house where we like to party cause Snoop can do that to
so what's new today getting Eminem to stay free styling on Trump free stylying while the dials on
snap shot moments of the past having so much fun with the hope that it would last
the streets today move faster then ever before some pay a visit to cell block 9 but that is fine
got Pumas on my feet spliff on my sleeve going to the dance hall scene
breaking down rhymes all my critics can kiss my fat behind cause I'm doing fine
Nas, Outcast & Drake never busted a move in such a fake for one step forward then two steps back
turn your radio on to here the words of my favorite song with Akon featured with Fetty Wap
drop it down with fire blowin it up in its purest desire ccause I want to take you higher



this just it so let me begin cause I came here to win in my perfect ten
suckers want to end me to but up the economy but ******* still on me but no I ain't phony
sit back and relax as you bask in the vast expanse between space and time
get back to basics as you remember when you were broke down to your last thin dime
sipping on *** with a hint of sugar for my teeth getting something sweet
your a miracle baby ain't nothing a bit shady working on making that baby
just maybe I get the hook up going stronger then ever before
next you bit kicking it with a two bit ***** screaming out more
get back to basics to set the dial for one more time going to wine, dine & sixty nine
holding my own when my hands on the phone but some insist to stay all alone
life can be a struggle so bartender make my Martini strong like on the double
working together like both Fred & Barney Rubble to stay out of trouble
see ya on the flip side squeeze while you out busy as a bee
going to walk that miracle mile in my hour of power in fullest of desire
until someday you'll see your name up in lights never give up on the fight

Hope Again My Friend

warm blankets fly away
glowing pixie wings shatter
the compulsion destroys everything
charging in like a wild bull

let loose into the arena to face death
past the leering crowds
Run ! Run ! Run !
Rise in the night

alone
unable to fathom the incinerated heart
where is there to run
who is there for comfort

lie down in a shallow pool in the
darkest of night
the white gown and ***** braided bindings
emitting the only light

which slowly dissipates from within
he has come to watch on his steed
does contentedness engulf him ?

In the closet of my down stair's room lies a secret
There is a hidden wall behind boxes
On the other side opend to a whole another world
In one such dream I had there was an old lady who lived in an apartment
who would often get mad she didn't like the fact that I would throw wild party's
always banging her fist on the wall
Another time I dreamed there was an actual mall beyond the wall with a subway there
A secret passage that would unlock to a vast world of fantasy in my dreams
I always wanted to knock the wall down
Many memories and moments filter through my mind
The secret passage way
A place where dreams were made
I firmly believe its a message from God
To clean up my act but I may tend to over react
Pretty weird in a sense
Right in my home of residence
Yet i will give my dreams more time a chance to manifest

Two Soul's Intertwined (Adult)

we climaxed on the floor...
a hush of breath, the sweat,
shadows block again lest I refrain
It was morning by the looks of the porch

at first the kiss, then a pause...
once again we were at it again banging on the floor,
I stretched my hot **** into her lovely *****,
******* ****** ensued once more

Screaming and moaning on the cement floor,
The covers were light by a mere fabric of our existence
Suddenly we stopped a little fore play on display,
Told her of her sweet loving lushes *****...

How I wanted to feel my big **** inside her,
Pumping harder then ever before,
Again another pause & we showered together,
Kicking back I had some lotion after we were dry,

I began to rub the lotion on her *****,
A flavor of strawberry was vibrant to taste..
******* her skin through my teeth like meat,
***** isn't nothing but meat on the bone I'll

**** it I'll **** it I'll leave it alone....
and then a final touch I decided to whisper in her ear,
You dance on a ring of fire still throw off the challenge with a shrug,
Softer lips filled with vapors of romantic asps

I will treasure those moments but we came too soon.

A cosmic collision came charging through
the perimeter in space
lines, form & energy
The solace of the solar system

We live in the land of make believe
fallen emblems with no leaves on trees
Can't escape the way we feel
perhaps a love embrace will seal the deal

Look at the swan upon the lake
call it beauty in it's lasting state
Shadows beckoning call filters through the scene
we make mistakes cause we fall short

Laughter
a solemn pause to Gideon
Orion in orbit tranquil and electric
through the duration of time we created a rhyme

A pulse of the human heart
will light the spark of what I was waiting for
Lest I implore another open door
we will light a match to celebrate are innocence

Forget the night the day is far spent
I have become cumbersome to this world
A solace to unfurl
the gravitational pull may bring some down

A planet that dwells beyond the great divide
some may insist to run away and hide
Look to the sun to help you get by
very often it's a substance that makes you get high

A warm fall evening, walk through the park
cool breeze; brief yet lingering
the scent of roses, an old oak, car fumes, a hot dog cart,
and autumn air a pause...take a deep breath

hair begins to prickle, cars are getting hot, eyes are wide
a full realization !
Walking quicker, wind picks up, pulling the coat tighter
whirlwinds of leaves once dead on the ground...alive and fierce !

Cobblestone streets; hollow footsteps; echoing
pick up the pace, losing space, unusual turn, quicker perhaps
chattering teeth, clenched fists
silent prayers muttered under ragged breaths

Limpid eyes, staring...probing; marble flesh, cold as stone
wicked smile, glittering teeth
quick tight embrace...melted surrender, hot breath, sudden pierce
blood flowing...quickly dying

reminisce, as one, of days gone by
blessed darkness, beckoning forth, closing in...
Jolt up...look around; where's my teddy bear ?
Another nightmare !!!

Voices In My Head

flirting faces, evil traces, midnight places...
storms outside your window storms in the night
why is everyone today looking for a fight
there is voices inside my head the walking dead
evil has a name & it runs throughout
we blame, ***** & pout
to know what life is all about
we each have a gift down deep inside
many try to run away & hide
but I'm caught between a bind so stand in line
I was created by the masters design
we are here today then gone tommorow
a face full of sorrow
we must labor for the near road we should tred
outside is the walking dead
yet we came to far not to turn back now
can't turn around when your hands on the plough
out of mere sadness there is watchful gladness
making the best of what you have
some may complain it's all up for grabs
voices in my head telling me when to go to bed
the times they are changing
one darkened voice tells me to end it all
another heavenly voice says to give up it all
i'm being caught in a fix with a mystery in the mix
twisted lies of Satan trying to go home and fry up the bacon
I'll listen to the voice of reason even if it's in the changing of the seasons
the lover in life is not the sinner the less that you give your a taker
voices, voices go away come back no way
but I'm afraid there here to stay
I'm listen to the soft still voice with the peace that passes all understanding
that is a sure fire way to what I have been waiting for lest I implore another open door

People are starting an uprising. We can come collectively together. In order to celebrate are differences. There is a lines being drawn in the sand. Heads in the street scream love yet it's only lust in disguise ! We need to bring are differences in focus whether we are black, white, gay or straight. Let your voices be heard for everyone to hear. There is a new political system that values may differ from yours. Still we need to be ever more determined to take charge. Stop abortion cause it's ******. Salute the American flag with the dream attached. Lift your head up high as a pillar of might for those to follow. Celebrate the creative arts and those that represent it. Smile cause it's contagious so pass yours on. Become a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of love. Shine your light for everyone to see. Seek truth with all your heart and resist the hate.

an eclipse of the sun has tainted my inner vision
sullen brevity
we go through changes in life
to reach into the hearts of others

long lines are being formed
truth can't be compromised
turn from Satan's wicked lies
we have chosen this path in which we tread

the world is headed for disaster brother
run for the cover
the narrow road as you have been told
will carry you safely home

one path seeks to ****, steal & destroy
the other a golden path of love from above
yet there are two paths you can go on
yet in the long run there's still time to change the road your on

boxes, socks, pencil & paper
to record your thoughts for the great here after
in an instant we shall all be changed
a shout from heaven and we will be gone

we each sin yet still it must be confessed
this is in order to enter his rest
shadows peak through the ridge
share with one another the truth from within

Tupac Knew
searching within a ****** felt turn
I thirst within double space each move
Many years ago let the truth be told;
it takes a village to raise a child...

Surgical sleeve down toward their knees
a crew sofa king to bring apart the devils scream
Tupac knew bitten off far more then what may chew
Celebrate, contemplate & meditate

follow the terms with a well furnished motive
stop at subway fo a quick meatball sandwich
the draft was closed the burning of the bras
come a way close with me dear Elvis

Tupac Knew about his momma
Keep ya head up
far reaching raps to gather & confess
Headed to jail

Tupac Knew.............

The leaves,
though they're dying
still believe they are flying
They soar
taste the wind, paint the ground, scent the air
The fall leaves abound
and I dance the season
among them for now
I dance for the voyage that this bright Earth has made
I dance for the Mother Sun, steadfast in her stay
I dance for the rhythm that this world can't mandate
I dance for the journey that I too must take
The dressed Autumn leaves
they play their lament
They make it a melody on their last descent
I can't sing along for I know not their song
But I'll dance til their melody ends. Yes,
I must dance til the melody ends.

A Paradox In Time

whispers....
There's a hint of solace in late Spring
Look deeper then ever before,
Shoes, gloves, hat

Torn illumination...
One will choose to walk down a different path
Darkened from loose fetters of Tumble ****
A light an occasional twist to its madness

eyes filled up with sadness after solemn years of remorse
Once you figure it all out you end up dying
The demons will have you if you give up hope
A challenge to be free is a question of time

Don't try to figure it all out you will go insane
Time will teach you of honest faith & morality if you receive it
Time can give each a unique purpose to live
Time tells of our past not to repeat the same mistakes in the future

Leaves falling from an oak tree,
spreading freckles on the green
Sun smiling through a cloud bringing warmth upon the scene
white sheep drifting across the blue herded by the breeze

Weeping softly as they go,
shedding tears upon the leaves
Summer is almost over,
fall is drawing nigh

The reaper with his scythe is waiting closely by
though his face looks very grim,
He has this job to do
all must return to mother earth,

To make room for the new
there is nothing new upon this earth,
All has been before
the angels smile upon your face

Wile death knocks at your door
a thousand years to us, is only a day to God
We are all endowed with a duel mind, the good and the bad
possessing earthly and Godly traits, the happy and the sad

There is not a perfect man on earth, none is good but God
we will awaken in his likeness
When the spirit leaves the sod

Call It What You Will

A cheap thrill
Onto the vast duration of time
Red, yellow & black
Working so hard can give you a heart attack

We make plans then break plans
Will it ever end it all depends
A challenge to be free is a question of time
A ***** it still a *****

A leopard doesn't change its spots
Mark the one willing to explore
A chance to see so much more
A tug at the heart will light the spark

You got something that everybody loves
Don't look at yourself it comes from above
To treasure a red rose that was plucked a time ago
The soft decorum of a quaint romantic kiss

Run to love else it will be a sure fire miss

Jesus, if your there & I know you are. Come to our needy hearts this evening. We are people of faith it's just we need another inkection of the Holy Spirit in are veins. Rain on us with the power on high. Shelter your children with fresh manna & water. Refresh are tender hearts this day it gives one cause to bow the knee to pray. Help us to discover new fond talents & aspirations to take your message further. To those empty hearts out seeking in the night. Let us learn from scripture that you are not a man that you should lie. Enfold within us wisdom to love each other. There is no other God besides Jesus Christ. Keep us pure & saved by the power of your love dear Lord. To those who are out seeking for bread in Waterbury, Ct. Those love cause they were never truly attached to your vine. Father we ask this prayer in Jesus Christ Name, Amen.

At first it starts with a tiny seed
then the roots spring up out of the fertile soil
preaching, teaching & service
To humbly obey is better then sacrifice

faces, spaces & traces
It unfold with an open heart
saturated with the truth of God's word
One must die to self

Pick up your cross on a daily basis
In time you will walk as a child
faith isn't intellectualized it just it
God's love for you is the great eternal constant

Accept Jesus into your heart as your personal savior & Lord
hope springs a new
Continue to confess your sins & believe
Unless one is born again he can not see the kingdom

Join a bible based church that preaches the word
pray & give tithes
Share your faith with those who are lost
create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me

Only one life will soon be passed
only what's done for Jesus will last
With what time we use today will be echoed throughout eternity
God alone is enough

Hatred Doesn’t Make You Cool I’m Keeping It Real Tonight. No, Hatred Comes From Satan. What you should pursue in life is love. Love that comes from heaven by way of Jesus Christ. Thugs use hate to demonstrate their pride. But pride was the chief downfall of Satan. We need to join hands and start to really love each other that which is spoken of in the bible. We can start by honoring our mother and father. Then spread the love out to your neighbor. See friends it started way back in the garden with Adam & Eve. For the serpant Satan deceived Eve into taken a bite of the forbidden fruit in the garden. Ever sense then mankind has rebelled into a cess pool of sin. Satan wants you in Hell with him & he has his demonic henchmen doing his bidding for him. Friends give your heart to Jesus Christ let him take first place of your life. You will all be richer & blessed for it.

So life is tough, what else is new
No reason to despair
There's not a human on this earth who doesn't get his share
Now you can dwell on all your ills,
feel sorry and blue,
and only see the gloomy side
in everything you do
But don't you know you have a lot to be so happy for ?
Just look at those who have it worse,
and see the good side more.
Do you have eyes ?
Why don't you see ?
the beauty all around.
A loved one's face, a flower, a smile,
First snowflakes on the ground
Do you have ears ?
Then listen good to music in the air
Hear children laugh, and birds sing out,
and voices everywhere
Do you have legs ?
Then take a walk, and feel how free you are
and so muck happier then some,
who cannot move that far
There's always someone in this world,
who's much worse off than you
So don't count what you haven't got,
let what you have come through
Look at the good side of life,
no matter just how small,
Appreciate all that you have,
and make the most of it all.

got capped in the back of my head

the ground was wet on that dreadful day



my brain swelled through its brazed main gait

swollen lips shooting bits



going get that **** that did this

now I'm in the hospital with wires in my brain



shooting up dope so I can cope with this swing

shadows block as I sit in isolation



dreaming of days on a long vacation

with the bullets flying out high in the street



Homeboy's selling crack not some meet & greet

got to stay positive cause I got hope in my heart



A vision of God while I was lying in the dark

this will light the inner spark to what I need to know



The Lord said to me a sinner never gives

the less that you give your a taker



he held my hand attached to his long cane

this illusion was mess nearly driving me insane



Said to stand tall & to trust that he was in control

lose the lame excuse to bump up the tempo



Showing me further a field of dreams

many people choosing to scream



getting lost in the sauce of compromise

can't you see the truth & turn from Satan's old lies



to my surprise I awoke to my family & friends

that dream gave me hope & a reason to depend



shadows block my vision from within again

I just remember that dream & think about the master plan

ough, two the window two to shore
rrgh..hey penny one penny tri penny three
elegant hands stay with the script
repeat stage 1,2,3...
Molech was here he was gone for a while
Sunshine boy
Brother Moon & Sister Sun,
remember me in times like these
Kamikaze
to be set free
Molech screams
eating delicious ice cream
tragedy
calamity
stand next to me
I go *** ***
poopy, cocky, stinky chesse
poopy cokcky, stinky cheese....
Kamikaze
with flames to please


after the parade
the fat lady sings
Kamikaze
take her lead
watch as I bleed
craving every need
follow me
follow me
in sincerity
Kamikaze

through the sweet vortex of our inner frame
we can dream of far off places with kings and queens
shaped through the fragments of are exploits
someday you will be all alone in your room
there you will read a text to reflect upon your life
we each are on a journey in this life
some ponder the existence of God
other reflect in the day to day toil
love is the mere essence of are existence
shine your inner light upon the twilight hour

shadows block the mere reflection of my frame
not having you in my arms is driving me insane
lest I refrain another door by which to explore
there is so much more in this game of life
within its given strife we can learn
one soul soars and another will soon burn
we better wait are turn in this wheel in the sky
the faint lulabye in its scope

thoughts can make you recapture about a life here after
some like the fantasy cause its like the real thing
other ponder grace as there guide through life's surprise

Thy voice is on the rolling air;
I hear thee where the waters run;
Thou stand out in the rising sun,
And in the setting thou art fair

What art thou then ? I cannot guess;
But though I seem in star and flower
To feel thee some diffusive power,
I do not therefore love thee less;

My love involves the love before;
My love is vast in passion now
Through mixed with God and nature thou,
I seem to love thee more and more

Far off thou art, but ever nigh;
I have thee still, and I rejoice;
I prosper, circled with thy voice;
I shall not lose thee although I die

I was lying on my back look up at the ceiling
Trying to come up with a wheel or dealing
See I kept a diary sense I was young
I captured my dreams filled up with kings & queens
far off places with knights and lances
In one such dream I can make things move with my thoughts
Flying guitars through the house
Snap shot moments of the past

Having so much fun with a hope it would last
Trading places with flirting traces
Deep inside we have no reason to hide
Some dreams filter through the manic extreme
Faces with tombstone eyes in their head
It's the walking dead face full with lead
The demonic and deranged
A chance at which to rearrange
Laying back once again
Now I'm being paid a visit of a beloved friend
From the savior I have grown to depend
Yet beneath my window there lies faces, traces and spaces
I got goo on my shoes so at times I sing the blues
Still I dig much deeper then ever before lest I implore
Dreams can teach of many lessons of life
A dash to splas in the ocean of oblivion
The union is when God came to me in his son Jesus
I must confess through all of the madness
There was a chosen way of escape
Through the only key that will open heaven's door

We arrive early to a morning service in a hurry
Look in every direction for jackets & mittens
A long line of performance can awake the senses
Straddling fences taking notes on a paper for reference
It's not based on steeples & bells or even a salesman giving something to hear;
No, his love was such that he suffered so much just to
Cause some of us to follow in his footsteps
The church should be in us all as a holy temple
It has withstood the heaviest cost of time
A heart saturated with truth in order to withstand
The truest test if time leave your worry's behind
Social injustice has infected so many
Heavy hearts moved from a sweet message of love
A beacon of light to a much hurting world in need
Confession is made in such a holy place to pray
An angellic host of heavenly onlookers guide the way
Many choose not even to visit or enter it's doors
Lest I implore another place in which to enjoy
Marriage as a holy institution is held within those doors
Funeral service for the dearly departed exit it's frame
It's for everyone whether black, white or Chinese
While the outside world is hungry for a teaching to knock you to your knees
Share the good news that you learned within it's doors
Help the widow, lame & handicapped see that there is a place of peace

A Little One's Eyes

Hold the light
shining through a little girl's eyes
in your heart
and that child's innocence will

capture and hold our life forever
Know the faith
shining through a little not's eyes
in your heart

and that child's freedom of spirit will
capture and hold your life forever
Feel the love
shining through both of their eyes

in your heart
and a love above any other will
capture and hold your life forever

Loves Flame

Love is like the fire,
one might say,
For it must be rekindled,
day after day

Love like the fire,
needs fuel to survive
Give fuel to your love,
should you keep it alive

Wood is fuel to the fire,
of what we are sure
Ah ! but what fuel,
helps love to endure ?

There are many a fuel,
that set love a spark
There is tenderness and patience,
and an understanding heart

Kindness and gentleness,
sharing life's need
All these are fuel,
to loves flame you feed

Give of this fuel,
give again and again
And the flame of your love
shall never grow dim

the cloven asps that peal away
a soft decorum of the rush of a smile
the swag persistance to join in its resistence
we have created a vile mast
through the duration of time I must confide
all of life is an essential ride
in Ireland the green pastures of hue
permeates a liquid tasts of neglect
as I commonly reflect a new episode
loose loop holes with a vibration taunt
carry through the mere whisper of a sound
to ellapse in its jealous vain duration
plagued be mere societal influences
the equal benefits of an influx charm


nature's vast emory board drifted out to sea
so common as to not faint when questioned
each of us must seek solace for the self
to equate greater beauty in the duration of time
vanity springs forth when there is no pivotal rule or direction
many seek self to please
society keeps us second guessing
for a far off switch to enter with blessings
the ivy briars are loosened now
a whole host of them in derision
will keep its hold on any second guessing

filter through the inner mind
where solace binds and reason is there
for I hear inner voices in my head with choices
the ****** on the street searches for his pay
a noble church goer bows there head to pray
there are marks of discovery in each of us
yet I'm half the man I used to be
falling by the road side scattered in my mind
it's the fortaste of things to come
a world undone
the twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
sought after fix the issues inside
hide behind a false hidden garb of compromise
twisted lies with no surprise
a vision of crystal clear twilight
tripping out in the forest
green moss scattered by the features
it is hard to hold on one more trip & I'll be gone

yet I'm not dead the forest has trees through the breeze
a sorted cosic debris of fallen emblems
tuck back the vision down deep inside
this forest has a stone carved pattern inside
my heart permeates through the duration of reason
words can be lost if not chosen right
a black cat leads me to a pool of water where I quench my thirst
look back at the vision in the water I see a face
voices in my head its the walking dead
yet I like it when they talk about love
call it fate I call it a reason for being in the changing of the season

we run to and fro into the outer banks of the forest
dead flowers all around with emmense changes
the cloven asps of suspicion you got to get away
bones of skulls permeate the textual lining
some say I think to much
in are world in quite a rush
getting ready for the heavy push
to take us over the edge
the intense heat of fleeting passion
the zombies of *** are at your door
screaming of exhalted primitive choice
living in caged fury so why should I wonder

Homecoming;
the fledging to his nest
All snug, secure
and every feather warmed
Love fills the nest,
for it is the fledgling's own
And within the straw
he is himself

Come take out your bible
Let us start a revival
Unification is the plan
Grab your bothers hand
We shall all live to  understand
The drunkard in the gutter is still are brother
This nation is drifting further apart
Blown away by Satan's fiery darts
Look to uphold one another and pray
Others may claim it ought not be that way
We all need unity you see
Let us break through all the hate & negativity
The black, brown, yellow & red
What is going on inside our heads
Stand tall with the gay, trans & straight
Stop all this violence with deep hate
While Trump is in his ivory tower
We all need to relax & take a hot shower
This is the time the moment the hour of power
Flirting faces in certain traces
Got folks out running the bases
Stand up for who you are on the inside
Many just want to play games & run away to hide
but these are desolate times yet we settle
for ill but faded rhymes
Both Jessie Jackson & Reverand Al wants you to join hands to be a pal...
Please stop the racisim my man
Seek for unification as a plan
Not a break on a long vacation
Plant seeds of kindness
Close up wounds that bind us
Learn to take baby steps in the sand
Like Obama once said, "Yes We Can".
Stop sticking it to the man
May have to reach through party lines
Lift your head up high with a face that shines
Pray with all of your might
Stop living each day by sight
With time your faith will grow
May have to knock the wind out of your sail to inflate your ego
Love will keep us together and the way we should go
Let's look above for the heavenly love
Merciful one come take this chip off my shoulder
Stop the senseless fighting as our nation grows colder
In time we shall shine
Don't turn around when your hands on the plough
Unity is where we should all be
Living in America the home of both the brave & free

Shackled From The Madness

Written by: Mario Vitale
Save the drama for your momma
Shackled
We look deeper then ever before
Lest I implore
Darkened caverns all around
Fountains with water to quench
Through the lens of a man
When to understand
The lapse in memory to uphold
Crazy dragons in the fire
The fuel for the mire
Cries with the faint in heart
Viscous long hanging fangs that fright
Evil minds that plug destruction
Having tombstones for eyes
The elusive imagery of blackened caverns
To dull the innate surface on my brain
Satan laughing spreads his wings
The gallows of darkened mysterious décor
Shackled from the madness
The inner swell of an opened wound
Gone are the days I used to frolic in a haze
Today I'm just a mouse who is stuck in a maze
Going insane spread out in the membrane

Will You Open ?

All these years later
I still dream of you
A day in the park
Late spring
Under that tree
Hiding from the sun
Half asleep
You
Tracing secrets
In the palm of my hand
Whispering a love's tradition
Of desire
In my ear

we may never pass this way again
through the dration of love permeates the very fabric of my existence
in solitude hearts melt back the fervor of resistance
join with others to humbly frolic in this love
You
holding hands together
kisses of sweet molden lava love escalates through my hearts door
will you open ?

There will come a day
the wind will cease to exist
it will be you alone with Jesus
he died 2, 000 years ago

on the cross
for all the world to see
what was his prayer
what was his final plea

father forgive them they know not what they do
he said the prayer now the rest is up to you
we must all stand at the judgment seat of Christ
to appear before the one we have to do

no condemnation to those who are in Christ
once this life is through
you don't get a second chance to roll the dice twice
he knows us by name

the very hairs on are head are all numbered
it will become evident to everyone to see
the love of God will knock you to your knees
what is my one last humble plea

love is the essence of are existence
you paid the debt so I could go free
tormentors disagree
blackened hearts with cloven eyes

yet in that hour we shall be set free

You stand in the middle of a clearing
you take a deep breath and you sigh
You look back at the thorns and the thistles of life
the pain is there even in your eye

You stand there and breathe the free fresh air
so deeply it penetrates
It soothes the mind, it helps the heart
the soul it revives

You look to the sides and you look ahead
you don't have to look behind
For what's back there, you know about it
ahead is where you will find it

All that you wanted in the past
all of your dreams unfulfilled
Ahead is where it all really is
the past it seems so unreal

Ahead way in the distance
you dimly see a door
It's marked and all the labels read
all you could ever hope for

So breathe while you can
because you see
Between you and that great door
more thistles, more thorns, more pain of life

But isn't it worth a little more
so pull all those muscles together
Regain all your strength and your spark
look to the proper source for strength

For you have reached the halfway mark

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
got beggars crying & I’m not lying
get fish to eat but I’m not frying
Stop listening to hells lies cause you know Satan is lying



Unity
Come take out your bible

In These Times

Can't we read between the lines
another pardon but people starving
North Korea's little man
we are going to build a wall from a know it all
in these times I stake my claim
not for power nor for fame
it's a shame we came this far to discover
from a president with a comb over
where is the love & stop all the hate
call it fate a new position for your intuition
these are your marching orders to proceed with love
coming down out of a hand with love
many suffer in silence invading all the violence
in these times we must stand in line
not to pretend that everythings fine
we have become socially wandering wizards
trying to drain the swamp & then what
the whole political scheme make me want to throw up
got babies having babies with abortion on demand
when will we ever live to understand
don't turn your backs when saluting are country's flag
there are lines being drawn out in the sand
hopefully someday all will understand
In these times we have created a rhyme
got you broke down to your last thin dime
yet keep your chin up you can surely shine
all things beautiful in its time

Share with the handle that holds you forget how to mold ya its important
to blend beyond the means a special taunt to provide naturally through barriers
in much soght after eternity bend the knee a good taste of a homily
building bridges faced to flee a combersome message to be set free
monumental into coincidental you grab a hold of the power down from the wire
meet me in the caboose I go loose captured in the most presentable to most
moving forward into the future have your pets spayed or neutered minus the bling
there is a whole host of noise buried bellow the pillow time to know
life is what you make it others try to fake it following well below,
busy as you can see the topic of your brain to freeze busy as a bee
shampoo hidden in the news a cable turn of what matters most

each day we gain clout to react the given map to follow right back
shifting as if emblems for a poor young lady trouble ahead face full of dread
look at nature the belt that God has made a really close folly take it easy
flow from under the game an even stand ever bit bland
there are news to see building forth my legacy
as a young child I dreamed many dreams

holding hands to wither the storm bridge back the curtain at  the time you were born
sad official playing in the mud coming from a hand up above
shallow rain in the circle who am I to believe on my centered means
there are goals to connect the fret of illusion which can help breed
trying toward the over load a given chance to breath
today is the turning point of an untimely event an even coaster to prevent a dent
stay clear of the pillow great magnified my window caught between the window
aspirin to gain who am I to blame we all came clean,

so much for martians we now breed a squirrel stearing the mile stone of its pleasant home
I'm the given renegade stearing bridges got it made like a dog without its bone
it is in my covenant as a renegade I watch the fire go die down featured fine
stay a close to the whisper herald a man in the middle playing second fiddle

The renegade passes on with a milestone soon to win just to be forgiven again
reach out toward your gun having a scent of fun close the door on surplus shield,
let me take you on a journey where the mentality is sworn powers to be in its scorn
being filled with laughter not to forget the great here after e wallow in the storm

keep your mind free a life free to meet catastrophe,
mark the man willing to explore its quaint brevity something inside of me
believe what you will a picture you and I were made such as a time like this
buried beneath the cobblestone remnants across the land called Styx

fresh out on the highway burdened going my way to your brother by the hand
dance all day son really a good indication of hearts gone a bit wild
holding hands beneath the freeway trying to get her to go my way central to come
quite a dish sorry that I missed change the locks on impact time to relax,

Renegade my renegade some folks just got it made
they can be seen beneath the shower the main quaint field of desire
trapped between a renegade field of armor
helpless pass

wear a pair of wings in flight carry yourself right

here comes the frenzy after the movies
places you want to see
burning through my legacy
lock horns with the coroner at the morgue

sweat of my brow
the faint of a cow
that's how we roll
let the truth be told

stuffed inside your mold
love lingers on with the faint of a song
happy to be a rooster on a roller coaster
music is getting louder

having my clam with chowder
something in my folder
tell you when I get a bit older
takes you by surprise

leave behind those satanic lies
bridges being crossed
we stand alone in the stream
living in a land so very mean

coupled with a bit of tender laughter
prepared for the great hereafter
there is more
remember Studio 64

****** in the gym
one **** over the line & then
mother superior bought the gun bang bang shoot shoot
a bit of fun under the gun

now Bourdain is dead
what was going on inside his head
he would even eat the dead
suicidal

could we get some answers
could we attempt to understand
how we stick it to the man with the plan
hearts are uneasy the trip is so long

this is the end of my favorite song

A Love I Couldn't Hold

Cold, gray skies-like my eyes-
shed a tear or two;
as raindrops fall my heart
recalls the pain of losing you

Winds blow free and-just like me-are going who knows where ?
as branches bend my whole
world ends because you just don't care
The starless nights-like my life-are dark and full of fears;

as clouds move by I sit and cry-
I just can't stop the tears
Winds still blow but then, you know,
when they're gone

the sun will shine, and I'll tell myself I'm over you
and you'll be out of my mind
But when the snow flies before my eyes
and the sun won't shine on me,

I'll still remember days of dark and silent haze
when you said you had to be free;
and when the fire dies before my eyes
and the room grows, oh, so cold

I'll still remember days of dark and silent haze
and the love I couldn't hold

Cremation
wand, crystal ball & hat
you put a spell on those
in search of blood disguised

lines being drawn in the sand
when will we understand
a presence of voodoo
have we bitten off far more then we could chew

tarot cards
it's gravity brings some down
viscous long hanging fangs that fright
children lost in a sea of tranquility

eyes with tombstones in their head
Satan laughing spreads his wings
blackened stench
heavy metal blaring

women with hot bikinis
faces in the window storms in the night
Gothic crosses
the only way to go is down

newspaper, bat & diary
they can see your future
the twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
those in search of lust in place of love

omen
black cats who cross the street

There's still more to come
wallow in the macrame to places, faces &
years ago
there's a pull or a tug at the heart to light the flame
sheer desire why does on equate logic for a tower of power
the serendipitous way you call the shots many years ago
aside from the impulse of the hidden heart,
mix words through a slight of hand
features, creatures & moving pictures

breath deep
stand still & repeat
faces, spaces & traces,
we will walk the miracle mile
through dolphin fin a newer way to begin
look deep within my faithful friend
there's a portal the meets the sun have a bit of fun
the iglow and the ***
life is but a mystery
come and sit next to me
falling apart at the seams

the ambiance as we look in the finest art of sophistication
may need a break on a long awaited vacation
equation
the tongue is forever sparkling like oil
we all must go before the toss
I'm at a loss
a pull of the heart to light the eternal spark to where we need to go
bust up the beat to promote its tempo
that was sold out years ago
straddling the fences

like Led Zepplin we are almost second guessing,
the beat necks and sound effects through the noose
like a Motley Crue what are we to do
why do we worry always in a hurry trying to change the story why should i worry
through faint of heart want a brand new start
I just threw up in my mouth so I blame, ***** & pout
what is this life all about ?
Words can lift up and bring down
Don't ever wear your head down in a frown
sugar is sweet so sweet like honey
I want to be the man who brings home the money

Signs to the left of me jokers to the right
some say I'm living in my land of make believe but who are they
careesed by the kiss of a hero's mist
the impulse of the love dazzled from heaven above
wipe away my smile infuse for laught quit the chatter get another batter
there's another Cherrios in places you ought to go but that was years ago
inflate the common ego
shattered, misguided & trampled
like Gorky Park I'm lightning a brand new part of my tender heart
guide to the never world or have you ever heard
it gets deeper as a stranger giving cadence to adventure

why should we worry the earth is our friend we can cling on a distant song
take everything out of you for a distant rescue I'm still on que
fast as lighting I'm always smiling try not hiding away from my problems
trapped within a faithful friend in which to begin all over again
look to the horizon over the other side of the mountain as a magic fountain
give creed to the hallow deed look into the abyss for your heavenly wish with a kiss
locked beneath the earth do swell in a thought out living hell
shadows block the mere vortex to a smile still to know all the great while
like Michael Jackson it's all black & white
Never relent to ever give up on the fight
you can dream big with the pen with whom you can depend
life is what you make it so stop trying to fake it make no mistake with
there's still more to come

The language and images of Mario Vitale's poetry are so closely bound to the natural cycles of seasons, of generations, of the body's functioning, that is surprising to realize how many of his poems deal with uprootedness. But this poetry is not sentimental celebration of the goodness of nature, and harmony with the world is never assumed. The way he captures the tenuousness of this faith, the balance that must be found between the ugliness, the harshness of his history- both natural annd social- and its intense beauty, is what distinguishes Vitale's poetry, gives it its depth and dimension:

A Certain Place

What happens in heaven?
Will I sit on a cloud?
Is walking or talking
Or jumping allowed?

Will I be on my own
Or with some of my friends?
Does it go on for ever
Or eventually end?

What happens in heaven?
Will I play a harp's strings?
I can't play piano
I can't even sing.

Who chooses the music
That angels inspire?
Who does the auditions
For the heavenly choir?

What happens in heaven?
Are the streets paved with gold?
Is it crowded with people
Who're incredibly old?

Will I know who I am?
Will I know what I'm called?
If I pinch myself hard
Will I feel it at all?

What happens in heaven?
Do I go through a gate?
What if I get myself lost
Or turn up too late?

Is my name on a list?
Is the gatekeeper nice?
Can you sneak in for nothing
Or is there a price?

back in the day we used to pray
today you say it ought not be that way
back in the past was a blast you see
today I'm as a mouse stuck in a maze
getting stuck inside its cage
when we first met how can I forget about Keith Sweat
those tender years to frolic with those many beers with tears
remember those days hanging out at the village pier
for I shed a single tear to numb the pain
not having you in my arms was driving me insane

sweat came from my head knowing we were off to bed
the next thing I knew she was giving me head
then we frenched and necked with heavy breaths to implode
I stuck my finger in her ***** it was mighty juicy
for me ***** ain't nothing but meat on the bone I'll **** it I'll **** it I'll leave it alone
still I took things further by putting my red hot **** inside her nothing finer
the pushing and groaning had everything going
we took our time in our loved filled swing
onto the ****** with ******* fervor
just don't call me late for dinner
then after I took out a cigarette as we sweat

a candle was lit by the edge of her ***
soft tunes through the room of Barry White keeping the mood on
all that jumping & pumping
left me happy inside with memories to confide
her unique ***** was tender at most
like a seagull getting lost over the coast
for now I'll roll with the punches until we meet again to explore

Nature of Love

Love
Smiles like an opened rose
Tears fill when petals dry
Along the face of dawn
Through seasons blissful cry

Love
fresh as fallen rain
with each breath its scent
Beauty colors in waves
Life's blossomed wonderment

Love
Flows like a river
Timeless without sleep
Calm will hold the mountain
Adrift can melt the sea

Love
Rides the sojourn winds
Soft as a wing's feather
Shy when clouds cover
Free in stormy weather

Love
Whispers long embrace
Beyond skies of azure
To crimson sunset lakes
Where shines a shooting star

Danger Within

lover the excusing plain text reunion
project course can operation finale
share for each log full strain log full plain
over  the truth,

cling to the other we have to do
the evening news
to late to snooze
billows of merchant  sweat from my breath

excuse me...
excuse me...
dig in the holler to capture their smell
one road leaves to Hell

sugar & spice
everything quite nice
prepare the...........king moist
shelter lies dormant amidst its great shell

there lurks dare
in what not to wear
a circle in their sky
the smile of the cross a by

tears from my pillow damps the plain
love..a pure love,
console me beneath the after glow
the news is bought to you plain

We wait in doubt through the work of belief shattered dreams shackled by the means
Each of us with mustard the part of a narrative scream vengeance via violence in part
Grow through the grace we have been elected to take just look above to the love
Through the notion of barriers we need to grow wings in its place by its narrative

inside we forget neither spot nor swing in quite a tangible swing you see
we elect torn on the bridle of its cage falling head nose and deaf to the gathering
I'm sweating never getting through the sorted mass appeal staying ever stronger
need to grow wings as we labor for the tender waiver on each episode stand elect
frozen in time brightened values cringe more then a dime there is shear relevance

Life is not a waste while you shiver as a snake feeling helpless in the gate
there are magical gestures to perform grab the ox by its horns corner the plow
burning ever burning bridges in the silk radiance of its call
We all need a reason to believe close to knock you to your knees

It's never scary when your head is in a song
pull back a toast to reason in the situation
there walks in a union of friends captured between the moment in time
There is a direct violation to stand between the hour of forgiveness
Please help me my faithful friend

love should spring a happy shield
time well spent in thought can't be bought
shackled beyond the resistance in which to climb in the surface to shine
