Capricorn-Aries
I picture her eyes burning the sun to a blaze-
The warm winds of her tenderness, the beauty of her grace-
Angelic voices sing notes of an emotional state-
Thinking the thoughts that outlast all time and all space-
Interlocked destiny-Cupids arrow of praise-
Aphrodite holds Aries-In love with Capricorn days-
Pumping and pounding feeling her right through my vein’s-
Denial of a skeptic no longer scared of the chase-
Standing on mountain tops-Vision clear without haze-
Emotions storm in like lighting, thunder, and rain-
Physical feelings have my body going insane-
Lost under covers till the day finally breaks-
Illuminating passion bodies intertwined in a maze-
Baby girl is a blessing like her love that I crave-
Baby girl is the best thing I love all of her ways-
Blessed by spirits her beauty blesses my days-

DUDE WHERE IS MY COUNTRY-
DUDE WHERE IS MY COUNTRY-

Have you ever seen the bumper sticker that reads-
“DUDE WHERE IS MY COUNTRY?”-

While I have and I am asking you-
Dude where is my country?
I think it was stolen my corporate monkeys-
Making us consumer junkies-
Its kind of funny-How corporations with all the money-
Make us feel like we are bumming-In search of materialistically something-
Its almost numbing how they deep drumming products in our face-
Make us feel like we have to buy-Or we will lose the race-
It’s a disgrace-Not the American way to make us feel like we smell bad without that Axe Man’s Body spray-
Or I wont feel cool unless I’m holding a latte-
And my eye glasses read dolce-
Slide a credit card man its okay-
Dig a deeper hole to your grave-
Consumer America I am your slave-
Product buying all day-
Broke as a joke-my money goes away-
My credit cards get their pay-
In minimal monthly payments anyway-
Its like a rat race-Or a never ending case-

You stay in the chase to collect what you make and the credit cards get their cake-
Its great-
Buy things you don’t need with credit cards you can’t afford-
Its all for the money-That’s why commercials go to war-

AND I LOVE IT-

I mean how can you not-A badass commercial where a dude kills a cop-gets the cold-grabs the chick-and doing it all while wearing Gillet Sport Speed Stick-
Its sick that I buy into this ****-A consumer ****** who needs another hit-
Its unfortunate-
But it’s the way it is-

Thank you Hollywood Biz-Thank you Corporate big wigs-and thank you Uncle Sam-
Without you I wouldn’t be the product buying-credit card sliding man that I am-
And before I go-
I ask you again-

DUDE WHERE IS MY COUNTRY???

Addicted to Love
Addicted to Love
She used to slowly caress my hand-
She would send chills down my spine-
We would indulge in white lines as ecstasy got us high-
One journey of a heart established in her lies-
In her eyes I could see the twisted world that she believed-
So drunk on insecurities highly clouded by ****-
This is the devil’s disease-It is the devil’s fortune and fame-
In love with a substance-I became in love with her name-
Thin haired needles puncture love to my veins-
My heart would beat with tweak-
To the rhythm of the dope game-
The rhythm of the dope game-
WAIT-
What was all this ******* for?
Saying you love me as I lay incoherent on the floor-
The steamy smell of three and half turned to four makes way through my body escaping my pours-
Till the core of my soul lays alone in its own cold-
And what was all this for?
It was a ***** stained love as glass pipes held dreams of hope-
Torched lit fires turned ambition to smoke-
LSD became creativity-till the pits of hell were roamed-
And what was all this for?
It was for love-
It was for drugs-
It was my only way to cope-
Understand?
Under gram erections stood alone penetrating holes I’ve never seen before-
Moans of stupidity released thoughts I ignored-
But I adored the feeling of evolution elevating me to heights un-soared-
Where lands of all man reach limitations to explore-
My body begging me to stop but my mind is begging me for more-
Refugees and causalities lay naked on the shore-Track marks leak the scent of and all and out lost war-
And I’m still not sure what all this was for-
Maybe it was for the thrill-
The thrill of submersing all my rotten thoughts that plague my good will-
My will to live among humanity and grant myself the freedom to walk among all of G-d’s family-
But tragedy strikes at the heart of the lost kind-
Where bleeding bodies are buried by the sands of time-
Where a generational cry turns to generational screams, where a generation in denial becomes generational fends-
And bitterness soaks through her cream where lost visions of the future become a long distance dream-
And the subdue substance that once claimed me now allow me rhymes of exploration,-exploring things I’ve never seen never dreamed never thought I’d ever be another statistical teen-
But I’ve grown-I’ve grown for the ignorance-The ignorance of believing I can make sense of life and relevance-That the heaven sent failure no longer has remembrance and the continuous hell bent world that destroyed me now gives me a halo of sense and for the first time-things make sense!
So I set myself forward down a road of reflection, reflecting on things I meet at my souls introspection-inspecting deep dark thoughts that beat my soul to redemption and I question-
I question why I stand here ready to go hand to hand to prove I’m a man when all I really want to do is show her who the **** I am-but I can’t-
So I close of my angels and reach for the devil within and its plaguing me why can’t G-d see that I don’t want to live in a dream-I just don’t want to be-
Please-
Allow me ease-
As I dream of moments with my old love-with my old drugs-with my not giving a ****-
Like why the **** should I care when no one else does-
So instead of the drugs I will pick up a pen and write a rhtymatic flow about the places I’ve been-and now-the only addiction I have is writing my hymns-
For the hell hath no fury for the devil within but in the end-
Well in the end-
She slowly starts caressing my hand again man-

Enough
Enough-
Its enough having these corporations run our nation while the infiltration of money making keeps destroying world peace aspirations-
Its like Satan and his manipulation keep telling me that success lies in the accumulation-
And the accumulation of that money making is what makes life exhilarating?
And the exhilaration of materialization keep growing as a representation of America’s successful creation-
And soon it becomes discrimination-
Upper class elevation vs. lower class stipulations-
The poor patient vs. Rich patience-
The barring margin of APR regulations-
Keep our nation rotating-Gaining speed and evaluating-
The appreciation of desperation is all for corporate gaming-
The memorization and commercialization keep our nation deprecating from the rest of the worlds visualizations-
Our accreditation creates frustration-
Segregation and integration by the new world organization-
Integration to a peaceful appropriation is questioned by this American administration-
AND I QUESTION IT?

Dreamer dream endless dreams-
Dreamer dream of you and me-
Dreamer become reality-
Dreamer no more fantasy-

Blow faster then the wind has ever seen-

Of harmony-

Lay me down sun-

Sunrise/Sunset
Sunrise-Sunset-

You were my every sunrise-
You were my every sunset-
You were my eternal happiness-
You were my eternal regret-
You were my everlasting joy-
You were my everlasting tears-
You were my only hope for security-
You were the only thing I feared-
You were the blood that barreled through my body-
The blood that barreled through my heart-
You were the cold steel against my temple-
You were my light in the dark-
You were my reason for living-
My reason for death-
You were my reason for exhaling-
My single last breath-
You were my first thought in the morning-
And the last thing I thought at night-
You were the song in the wind-
You were my reason for life-
You consumed my mind with demons-
Ate my soul away with hell-
Showed me heaven under covers-
But you kept me trapped in a cell-
You hit my heart with the panic-
Let me in all your thoughts-
Kept my soul with your ***-
Kept my mind at a loss-
I let stupidity realm-
While the Devil he walked-
Dreaming of escaping-
When karmas been sought-
Alone in my room-
With my heart in the dark-

Pillow Talk
Pillow Talk-
I want to hold you tonight-
I want to consume and make love to you all night-
I want to kiss your lips and caress your hips-
Show you how your love gives me a ***** fix-
I just want to pillow talk-
See your eyes light and conversation spark as bodies lay in the dark-
I want to grow to know you-
Your tender ways-your loving grace-bless my days-baby stay-
Lay with me tonight-
Candles burn-My body yearns for all of your insight-
Lay fright at the door and allow my body inside yours-
Tonight is for lovers to soar-
And I adore the seconds that pass-And I grasp everything in my path-
This beautiful women maybe perhaps will be the one to outlast my everyday man crap-
Because the beat moves are passion-Sweating bodies pumping in compassion-
How fast and beautiful actions send attraction to the mental state of relaxing and all I am asking is for you to stay tonight-
Nothing more-
Just tonight-
Like I said before-this is for lovers to soar-
Making love till the sun breaks the shore and in the morning-Baby-we could do it some more-
And then we could pillow talk alone-
Conversations of life deeper than the baritone-
And tonight my body is your home-Saturated against each other in a zone-
Truth be told-
This is the greatest love I have ever known-
And I don’t want to let it go-
Because you are so beautiful-
And tonight is for lovers to soar-
So let’s pillow talk-

Uncle-

13 years-I miss you
Crying this year seems to make little sense-
Rejoicing in your life seems to be a little more relevant-
This heaven sent feeling of remembering you has so much meaning-
I always check in with you to let you know I love you-
That your grandson’s are growing and becoming men of there own-
Your daughter is wonderful and still maintains her home-
Your son is brilliant and the best friend I have-
His heart is like yours and everyday he becomes more of a man-
Your brothers are well, up to the same old-
Your mother is sweet and dear-still as beautiful as gold, her soul is amazing-
With the thought of you and Zadi-I grab hold and remember how you helped raise me-
I will raise Brooklyn the same way you helped teach me-
To be open and honest and free-
If you could only see her she would amaze you-
One day when I see you, we will talk till time is through-
I miss you Gabi, Itchy, I miss you very much-
I will smile today because of your love-
I can see you both smiling down at us-
And I am grateful man for a family of love-
Rest In Peace-
Be easy-
Your favorite nephew (your only nephew)

Slight
Slight-
I have a slight gangster mentality-That runs so deep it’s a poetic catastrophe-Its blasphemy and a tragedy if I don’t reach levels that come after me-
So come after me-

As I rip in tongues-As I hail from the lungs-let the words by the curves be slowly un-done-
The majestic one-The poetical son-

The able no fables releasing hell and its stables till the grapple unravels-in your mind I might dabble-Have you follow like cattle-if you battle than straddle the best of your babble-Biblical proportions beat you down to the gravel-

And in your grave you’re a slave to the rhymes I convey-Time to make way-Because the wisdom has made this intellectual given-profit that’s driven-ripping and hitting-Moving and living never loosing the rhythm-rhyme with precision-Plant my feet in position-The story been written by the way I’ve been gripping-My energy’s lifting the complete non-existent-time to raise your resistance-next to me you’re a distance-Descending and defending emcees to oblivion-

Hope you been listening-The lesson is interesting-Strategically moving in-your mind I’m consuming and you soul has been looted and your conscience is loosening-I move you like puppet strings-Spit syllable’s like mixed drinks-Turn your nightmares to dreams except when you scream-Hope your systems been clean because I carry the sickest flow you ever did see-

The poetical king-The most influential of beings-Ripping through seams-The star of the scene-

And I will infest through your vest burry deep in your chest-rip your soul to a mess-always passing the test-Eliminate stress-when the labels invest in the man they call Able always causing a wreck-Broke with no checks so the ambition don’t rest-It goes for the **** so I’m taking all bets-Look up to the best-Play my life like its chess-Making moves I will never regret-always making connects with rhytmaical sets-

As I stay relevant it’s time to pay up your rent-because you whack emcees don’t see I’m hell bent-

So I’m bending and breaking your necks as I’m taking you sprit from making any type of relation-ride with me you need maintenance-battle me become patients-Your style is vacant-Your lyrics are faking-Your like rap master bating-I’m like rap *******-On every occasion-I’m the spoken word liberation-Now I will crush all whack

emcees with complete annihilation-
Stop all the playing-

15 YEARS-
15 years gone-
But not a second forgotten-
Missing your smile-
With every single thought-
The sky are blue-
But so remains parts of my heart-
No tears shed today-
Just love in the dark-
Growing up-
We sure have been doing-
Living and loving-
In a way you would be approving-
Your son-a man-
On his own two feet-
Your daughter a lady-
Always making ends meet-
Your grandson-handsome like you-
Strong and intelligent, honest with truth-
Babu’s gone now, I think next to you she sits-
Reminisce of my childhood and in me you still exist-
Beyond what we know, I do know I feel you-
Uncle, friend, I will always be with you-
I love you-
You would be proud of your family.
I know it.

Walk
Walk
Dear Mr. President-
I think it’s time we talk-
See I walk in that same stilled motion-
Engraved in my soul-Sir-is the same old theory notion-
Handed a dripping blood star spangled rag of devotion-
I hear the anthem play as I make way through this sandy ocean-
Yet I have compromised for the life that I have chosen-
Sir-
I am frozen-
Stuck among the simple brainwashed component-
Wondering where home went-
And they say home is where the heart is-
But what if the heart has left home-
Then it’s been condoned-and postponed at the emotion that should have been so home grown-
Yet I am so alone-
I’m surrounded by thousands of drones-Moving in illusions to the beat of contemporary confusions is leaving the stink of retribution and the contusion on the spirit of this institution Keeps proving while correspondents are continuously reviewing the inability to honor the constitution-
So with all due respect-sir-what the hell are we doing-?
I am losing my G-d **** mind-While patient politicians predict the estimated time-
And in the mean time-Bullets fly by brittle bodies-Rotting minds wait for mind-full plotting-Knowing knowledge knocks simple logic-And it is chronic-
And I don’t mean the kind you smoke-But more so the kind that poke jokes by late night hosts-
So when the hell did is this war become a show?-
My soul it lays defeated-physically-mentally-and emotionally-depleted-
I am bleeding-
Needing a reason to keep on breathing-Dreaming of a moment when my mental torment becomes dormant-And I am no longer fending-but feeling-Kneeling-Screaming-Asking-
The Lord for a meaning-
These fatigues have me stressed and fatigued and this disease it seeps deep into my sleep-And I just creep hoping my weary feet don’t lead me to a concaved grave that bleeds-
As trails of remorse stream down my cheek-
I plead-
With you Mr. President please set precedence consider my wishes relevant I just want to go home to my residence where Corrupt Cooperate Capitalist no longer have this regiment-and the elements of peace sir have a higher percentage than that of the deceased-
See-
These dog tags come with body bags perfectly delivered in a neatly folded flag-And the fact remains Sir-it’s an endless game-Sir-we are trying to conquer a region we can’t maintain-Sir-So I ask you to refrain-are youth from being slain-Please-let wisdom reign-Indulge in peace not in pain-Please sir-go against the grain-in that stilled motion-I walk the same-
If you recall Sir-
I voted for change-

Cold Corners
COLD CORNERS:

The cold corners of fate-
Are not the same for each individual face-
See some maintain prosperity while others lose the pace-
Streets become home and liquor stores become gold-
Begging for change in more ways than we know-
The shivers of life-Echo dreams that once were-
For an exchange of solitude has truly occurred-
And the pain is deeper than I could ever word-
So he lays alone in the jungle with concrete beds-
Never wanting more except for the prayers in his head-
Making peace with existence-As famine breaks bread-
No pride in this wilderness-
His hopes have mislead-
Once a prospect of fortune-now just socially dead-
Ignored by the common-considered a mess-
A crack fiend-A dope fend- A Vietnam Vet-
A mother- A father- An economical threat-
Not paying taxes- Just receiving regrets-
A patriot to a government that quickly forgets-
A ***-A loser-another social neglect-
A man- A women-An image that wont reflect-
Still making love on concrete beds-
Finding warmth by the moonlight and peace in the night-
Sirens are harmony-Traffic is a lullaby-
Awakened by beauty-Breakfast at sunrise-
Wanting acceptance-But socially declined-
Finding friendship in the cold corners of his mind-
Counting rain drops just to help pass the time-
Spoiled by memories so he lives in rewind-
Remembering moments when he had “an everyday normal life”-
Playing on off ramps-
A poet with a cardboard sign-
Copper is his fortune-but their kind are a dozen a dime-
So he sleeps and waits for the day he reaches the gates-
Asking for change on the cold corners of fate-

Mistakes
I flutter down a road of goals and mistakes-
Each representing the life I make-
Sometimes I fail-
Sometime I succeed-
But deep in my heart I hope you believe-
That I will always try to be the better man-
And if I make mistakes I hope you understand-
That they will pass and I will grow-
From a boy to a man, to my child’s superhero-
Deep in my gut I feel the fire burn-
Here on this earth I feel the passion yearn-
For us-to grow old-to grow gray-
To be best friends and play-
And though I cant go back in time-
I can look to the future and open my mind-
Give you my heart-
Offer my hug-
Fix my mistakes and offer my love-
To you-
It will always be true-
So I say sorry once again and I hope you can forgive me my lover, my best Friend!

Enlighten Me-
Enlighten Me-
I’m always underestimating self-master bating-
Graduated-
At the top of fund frustration-
My motivation needs money relations-
The contemplation of money making has my mind at a constant hating-
My breaking patience-
Has my mind like a **** relating-
Regulations of all my banking-
See my bank account disintegrating-
I’m suffocating-making payments-Late fee statements-
Debit-Credit-Cash-oking
Debit-Credit-Cash-oking
Racki­ng bills my back is breaking-my nerves are shaking-
Shaking more than I anticipated-
Now I’m here with a life to fear-
Writing till my mind is clear-
Writing till I feel what’s real-
Writing till I seal a deal-
Multiplying-
Adding-Subtracting-and dividing-
Signing more checks than providing-
It’s suicide I’m not denying-Rhyming trying its crucifying-
Clocking in before the sun is rising Grinding flying hoping griming-living life nine to fiving-
Its re-revising-Re-defining-Rectifying-
More so that I think I’m hiding-
Killing with finical violence-Violating my banks alliance-
Maxing plastic so fantastic now I need some re-advising-interest rates have a grown man crying-Million dollars seem so un-winding-
Now I’m whining-
Constant buying-
Gas rates got me into biking-riding-fighting-
Just surviving-any discount seems so delighting-winning lotto seems o-so-righteous-buy one get one is so exciting-
Boot leg buying I ain’t lying-
Being broke is constant rewinding-It’s reminding-so relying-over drawing is my new binding-it’s confining-so I’m finding-Making takings of my disliking-Making takings that are so dang freighting-dollar scratchers are so inviting-
But this realization is so enlightening-
Moving as fast as a bolt of lighting-
I’m asking you G-d to help me like this-
I’m feeling the pain and I think I might just-

Brooklyn Bridge-

Brooklyn bridge how you have helped me cross-
From a boy to man-
Now found not lost-
Paved a way for me to walk-
In which I walk a steady pace-
My face exhausted from the grind but embracing your embrace-
Your beautiful grace-
You slow the race-
Every breath you exhale I intake-
The building of you was anything but a mistake-
Your place on this earth is G-d’s grace-
And I praise him for the opportunity to raise such an amazing ray of sun filled days-
You are my steady pace-my embrace-
Brooklyn Bridge-
Beauty in ways that don’t exists-
Beauty in ways I can’t resist-
Beauty in ways I can’t dismiss-
And with this-I give you a kiss-
As I am the builder and you are the bridge-
I love you with every inch I can give-
Brooklyn-
I LOVE YOU

Depleted
Depleted-
I feel depleted, emotionally, physically, mentally-
I don’t feel like me-
Like a shell of what I used to be-
This tree of life grows so continuously-
In this undefined times-with these undeveloped rhymes-
I grow so empty-
And this potentially could be the end of me-
Heaven set me free-
Free to fly so casually-
Happy-feels like a casualty-
And I’m just hammering-
At myself-by myself-
My health depletes so erratically-
And magically I’m still battling-
The enemies are gathering-
In my head-in my bed-
Better off dead-
So demanding-
Here in front of you Lord I am standing-
Commanding you presence-
Are relationship is so adolescent-
So co-dependent-
Just demented-
And I am repenting-
Descending into a world of pretending-
Where the smile is vile-
And the eyes are the lies-
Of all that I am inventing-
The façade is cementing-
This is not my intention-
Expression is only expressing-
Meir fraction of my aggression-
Positivity-I could use a lesson-
But negativity is just not letting-
Me-
Be free-
Freedom from demons-
Is how I’m dreaming-
Like I said-I’m simply depleting-

THE FATHER'S EYES
The Father’s Eyes-

FATHER SAID TO HIS SON-

“Son I hand you my sins-
This is my will son, for your life to begin-
A journey is ahead of you-
For 80 years you will fight-
Some days will be beautiful-
Some will be dark as night-
Hold strong my son and allow the world to see who you are-
Show them my boy of how to recover from scars-
Allow them to see the beauty in your soul-
Be ambitious my boy but don’t be driven by gold-
For snakes will want to hunt you-and try to hurt you-
You must stay strong and no matter where I am, I will never desert you”

THE SON ASKED HIS FATHER-

“Father how must I live-
Moments that cross my mind, make my soul not want to give-
I feel fearful father like I don’t know where to go-
I’m not sure my father if I am supposed to be warm or I’m supposed to be cold-
I’m scared now father for this is the end of my innocence-
And I’m not sure my father if I understand life and its relevance-
And now Father you are passing me your sins, and I’m not sure my Father if I’m ready for all this to begin-“

THE FATHER HELD HIS SON’S HAND AND SAID-

“Listen to me; you are an angel heaven sent to be-
A man and yet a solider fighting evil in the night-
A will of ambition not tainted by spite-
Go on now my son allow the world to see who you will become-
Don’t fear my boy-your mind is your gun-
Fight them with knowledge, compassion, intelligence and strength-
Feed them the word of love and give the love all your thanks-
I must leave you now boy-For the Father calls me home-
Hold strong my son for my kingdom is now your throne-
I love you my boy and this you will never forget-
I am in side you my son, and we bare us no regret-
I LOVE YOU”

The Father closes his eyes-
Off to heaven he was called-
Leaving his son to fight through the warmth and through the cold-
The Son stands up-For today a man was born-
Driven by love-Never tainted by scorn-
A hero arises in his father’s eyes-and in his father’s sins-
A righteous life will live all for the righteous beauty to begin-
The Son touched his father’s eyes and kissed him one last time-

“ I Love you Father and I will feel you in my soul-
I will see you in my mind-
I now bare your sins-as I will pass it to mine-
Then my son will be righteous doing your will as the blind-“

THE Son no longer feels his once past fright-

“I must go now father and fight the good fight-
I will miss you my father and forever goodnight”

The Son becomes the Father and the Father becomes the light-

Hold on for a moment-
For some moments never hold-
Cold is the feeling-
Warm is the snow-
Let insecurity free fly away-
Live for tomorrow-
Die for today-
Hand held dilemma-
Hand held pain-
Roof top skepticism-
Basement virtue games-
Stood in front of you bare ***** and open-
Bottle to bottle-when trust was spoken-
Smoking cloud-
Disappear now-
Gone with the wind-
Lost in the crowd-
A part of me will always be missing-
Teaching hard lessons-

Forgotten Sat Love-
Forgotten sat love-
Come share me the drug-
Embrace in my arms-
The coldest of hugs-

Dig deeper than six-
Find a new home-
Deep in the trench-
Protect me with chrome-

Sing me a love song-
Then sing me one more-
Then sing  one from the heart-
Don’t sing to the core-

Choir a’int there-
Like the angels above-
Look for your religion-
I’ll look for the crumbs-

Pick’em up off the floor-
Count them as I can-
Put them all in basket-
So you can eat out my hand-

Ask for forgiveness-
And thou shall be granted-
Swag up right walking-
Continue moving slanted-

Dream little a dream-
Of how it all was-
Forgotten about yesterday-
Forgotten sat love-

Sleepless
Sleepless in San Fernando
You are not next to me tonight in the physical form-
You are half way across the country like never before-
But you are here in my heart, here in my soul-
Here in my mind-
And tonight that’s what I hold-
I hold your essence-
I feel your vibe-
I look forward to your laugh-
I love your eyes-
I dream of you, wishing you were next to me-
So you will be and I will be in ecstasy-
I love you beautiful but this you already know-
I can’t wait for you to get home and see your glow-
I love you so-

DESIRE-
DESIRE-
Prey on the knowledge in the desert I seek-
Taken for granted by the devil’s defeat-
Pouring down gospel pray that I keep-
My head from the sands and my feet from the reef-
Snakes with the contracts trying to make you a lease-
Golden pen in the hand-writing with ease-
Perfection of a poem till the poems complete-
Knowledge is the for front and the for front will lead-
Disaster combination-Armageddon is peace-
City of Angles-
Agents **** dreams-
Strolling on rooftops-Standing on beams-
Heartache of heartbreak-I flow like a stream-
Praying on mountain tops wanting to scream-
Looking at my daughters-for their pulse is my beat-
I have been through the darkness so my blood is my ink-
No rest for the wicked-
The good follow like sheep-
Beating down barriers looking for me-
Searching for the meaning never will be complete-
Dreaded demons in this world-
Can’t knock me down to my feet-
My pen is the answer-bullets brittle with peace-
Disciple poet problems pounding on me-
I look to the limelight-security creeps-
Desire for success-
I desire to be-
Me!

Her Stare
Her Stare-

Her eyes were alive-
Softer than I could feel-
Intertwined in this woman was something so real-
I couldn’t explain it-
But I don’t think it’s meant to be explained-
Her touch was angelic-
Her voice like the rain-
I’ve never seen a beauty so immense-
A beauty so intense-
I’ve never thought about life and what it just might have meant-
But tonight-
She is there-
Explaining to me the secrets of the universe-
And all this with just a stare-
How dare I make a move-?
Her eyes were not to be consumed-
A passion brewed deep within her soul-
Something about this women could make me feel whole-
They say never let love define you-
It might just **** you dry-
Might steal your last laugh-
Or the last tear from your eye-
But at this moment-
This meaning was no longer there-
I was no longer in time-
No longer aware-
For true beauty stood before me-
Glancing with a glare-
“Approach you fool”-
I told my heart which was bare-
“Approach you fool”-
Love can be rare-
But tonight I admire her-
From a distance-
From a far-
Her beauty so deep-
I’m afraid to open my scars-
So I become brave and open my heart-
For she is that women-the reason for this life-
For she is that women-and I dream in her eyes-

Sly: The Duffle bag part 1:
Sly: The Duffle bag part 1:
His Days Were Not Like Most!  
It was a typical summer night, not a single cloud to gloom the gloomy sky. The sidewalks reeked of a smell that most would consider disgusting, the smell of prostitution eclipsed by drug infested buildings highlighted by the scent of *****, made for a fun night out on the town. Sly was the type to take advantage, and he did. His rough external features were perfectly matched his all black outfit and black trench coat. He was a man of few words, few emotions, and few delights. Each step he took that night echoed through the streets so loud the wind it self would stop. His eyes were red, drained, tired, he had been up all night thinking, wondering, but now he was ready for action. The old warehouse downtown had been abandoned for sometime now. Its cold and unfriendly, a place Sly could call a home, an urban retreat of sorts for him and his duffle bag. His red duffle bag, that duffle bag housed an arsenal, an arsenal of weapons so treacherous, it had intent to inflict immeasurable amounts of misery for a common denominator. Sly was Hungry, angry; his scope was set at the top of the old warehouse. Sly had climbed the catwalk with precious percussion. He set the red duffle bag down next to him. Sly sat down on a beam that barley supported his weight. A large window 45 degrees to the right of him, made a great position. He opened his red duffle bag! A ****** riffle laid cold and dormant waiting and wanting the touch of existence. The energy felt by his emotional bond to his riffle was indescribable. He loaded the piece. Each bullet loaded the clip as if tenors were in harmony with the alto. The voices that sang revenge sang with an unholy cry, yet the confidence in his faith would serve him as he uttered the symbol of his determination. Slowly he made love to his weapon, cleaning and feeling it’s every corner. Across the road no more than a mile, stood a house. House where political propaganda represented it’s housing guests. Senators of Satin! See Sly was in a very particular business; a business most don’t even know exist…Sly was in the business of killing Demons!

Train Wreck
My own train of thought-is my own train wreck-
Heaven sent the failure- just trying not to break my neck-
The cold steel is the weapon but the pen is so deadly-
Signing to the lord,-praise me his melody-
The blood that drips from my tiny slit eyes-
Is the blood that burns from all my goodbye’s-
And I promised never to say c’est la vie-
But right now in this moment I wish I could be-
A better man-with a stronger hand-
A better human whose vises are less consuming-
I console among a counsel of fends-
Villains and demons-expression-and dreams-
Hands in your pocket-Empty like your soul-
The devil is here-disguise it like gold-
So chase your cheddar if that makes you whole-
But the whole ******* thing goes around in circles.
And what goes around comes around-
And what goes up must come down-
Like the train wreck of life-it crashes with no sound!

O Captain, my Captain
There is a light that shines-
Blue bright light-
Where Genies and magic-
Explore worlds of delight-
Hearts are Patched to the core-
Never lands to explore-
Deep from the meaning-
Good morning no war-
No doubt that the fire-
Still burns in his soul-
Poetical King just fishing for more-
Alone is the pain-that one should never bare-
Aliens to this planet-are more common than rare-
Willing is the hunt-for a calmness of game-
Laughing is the cure-Awaken ailments of pain-
Though it may never be said-
Though it may never escape-
Off to Ork we must go-
To close this chapter of fate-

RIP Cap

Imagine
Imagine

Imagine a world where we all live as one
Where people walk hand in hand and don’t live by the gun
Where a man can be a man because racism is gone
And the evil deception of politicians are done
And the freedom from freeing my soul is met by the rays of the sun
And I stand on Mount Sinai
And wait for people to come
As they turn they back on corruption and start to run
And the power is handed from the words
And we can once again have fun

Imagine a world where we all live for today
Where yesterday is faded in time and in space
Where every gender, color, creed and race
Announces to the world
That peace is here to stay
And then the Messiah no longer has a reason to wait
Because we’ve destroyed power, corruption, greed and hate
And we stand here united along the same fate
Bringers of words to articulate

Imagine a world where we do not run from our ways
And we pound and we pray that we don’t stray from our days
And we show them what we know
Because knowledge can reign
And the point of the main game
Is not to be vain
So I strain and I drain till all the blood from my veins
Show you my love and the reason I’m praying
And my shoulders no longer feel the heaviness weighing
And we tell evil it no longer has a reason for staying
Because we no longer have a reason for waiting

Imagine a world where hope is the word
And the beauty of men
Is destroyed by the herds
And evil and hate can no longer learn
And men aren’t shot for the use of their words
Imagine all this without all the verbs
In sight of your own eyes
Soaring like birds
United by the heavens, clouds, skies and earth
To live in peace without concern

Imagine-
Thank you JL

Grandeur-
Color rides the universe-
The final present in a hole should fade-
Stories of fresh love-
Words of wisdom kings to be made-
Fresh shame haunts-so-slow those devils inside-
Relenting exhaustion-putting all hurt-aside-
Relinquishing in love-
Passion drive drugs-
Hugs are forgotten-but not these cold shrugs-
Pride to the wilderness-Standing at St. Peters gate-
Amongst the villains to be judged-
Grandeur-we wait-
He stands before his maker-
Dancing clouds in the sky-
Love making love to you-
Is the dream of goodnight-

As time goes on-
AS TIME GOES ON-
Grandpa-
Born: May 15th 1925
Passes: August 11th 2005
As time moves on my heart stays still-
As I reach for your hug, I just try to imagine the feel-
Feeling your warmth that could cure my weary soul-
Hearing you tell me I can achieve all my goals-
I miss your laughter, your smile, your walk-
Your beautiful wisdom, your blue eyes, your broken talk-
Now I am on a journey and I think of you each day-
As I raise a daughter I think of what you might say-
I feel you would be proud of me Grandpa-that I haven’t let you down-
That I am the man you hoped-I’d be standing my ground-
And now-
I could use your wisdom-
Your beautiful way, it was so G-D given-
But I can’t be sad-I have to be proud-
That you passed along your beauty into me now-
I am a good man and that I learned from you-
So I say Grandpa without you I would be just a fool-
I miss Grandpa-
I love you more than you know-
You’re not just my grandfather-
You are my real life superhero-
Rest easy because I am here to carry you on-
I love you-
Richie
As each day passes I miss you more and more, they say time heals these wounds but they are still so sore-as I close my eyes tonight I hope to see your face and night after night I hope to feel your grace-
REST EASY

Lost Letter of Love
The Lost Letter of Love-

The thunder of the busy street makes love to the vicious voices that plague my mind. Reminisce of a forgotten love still shower my inner most thoughts. Passion that once overwhelmed my life is now my reason for exhaust. The shimmers that once lit my ambition and drive now hang lightless, darker than the deepest secret. Yet the frequency of lost desire still induces the most intoxicating substance. Arms grow weary caressing forgotten times, the tears that once grew a river, are now dry beds of torment. The beautiful dawn plays in coalition with the residuals of a distant song. “Goodbye my lover” plays in harmony with the neglect of reality. Not facing demons yet displaying affection to them. Indulging in virtues once restricted by political propaganda. I am her vicious vendetta, her thoughtlessness, her absence. I lay on a bed of needles enjoying the aguish, suffering in satisfaction. The destructive thought of deserving such a decisive decision allows my mind to become a rag of lost emotion, wiping tears from the concaved steps that once bread a whirlwind of radical love. A canvas stained recklessness paints a picture of a destined solitude. No regret orchestrates a symphony of percussions, streaming beautiful sound through the hills of total regret. Awake becomes second nature, slumber slumbers with the lack of motivation to ignite the calm. Insomnia hums in a melody so righteous that the religion becomes the man. A hollow shell of broken ambition sway in the wind of self desire. The cries of the night become intoned with the cries of truth.  Instinct maps the course of self-withered illusion, illuminating the “why us” cause. A foundation of happiness holds the weight of a pessimistic engagement. While optimistic scavengers prey on the depths of endless souls. Disappointment rectifies all signatures of a so-called love. Remembering a once forgotten future claims its stakes as the eternal right. The moon holds desperate for the fortune of the unfortunate son. Unsettled disputes, take a toll on broken bodies. Broken wills dance in the limelight ignoring the forgotten pain, a laugh of retribution becomes one with inexplicit content. While saying “I love you” becomes that of explicit context, searching for the meaning between the lines. The lost letter of love shapes like the clouds in the sky only resembling something it never can be.

True Beauty-
True beauty like yours can never be matched-
It’s the ones who aren’t that beautiful that need all these apps-
And I grasp when I see you wake up in the morn-
And praise those lucky stars for the day you were born-
And girl-
I’m only speaking the truth-
Because all their trying to do is look exactly like you-
Don’t ever get twisted-
Don’t you ever forget-
The moment I saw you I almost broke my **** neck-
You’re a knock Out-
A queen-
A dream-
You’re perfection at its finest without needing a thing-
You’re beautiful-

The truth
TRUE:
The eyes of a goddess-
Praised be as my muse-
Her glory ignites my creativity-
As I call her my truth-
Her glimmering eyes-
Send chills to the core of my soul-
In love with an idea-
As her energy un-folds-
Fully in-touch with my heart-
And the new love that I hold-
True-you are to me-
As I remain to you-
Passion in my heart-
Beating to a rhythm jazzy blues-
Making love in the moonlight-
Fully consumed in our groove-
Sweating among stars as I call her-
The truth-

The Boy
The boy-
The boy pushes forward-
So un-tainted by those tainted thoughts-
He inhales and exhales painting poetry with vocal gloss-
Using hip-hop to help composite a symphony-
Holding tightly in his grip his very own destiny-
And what re-mains most interesting-
The curiosity-
His curious nature brings-
It defining-
Him-
Which is so undefined-
Rendering his thoughts-One memory at a time-
Using a pallet of letters to continue to write his rhyme-
This here is his beauty-
His actuality-
His factory-assembly line-
And if you factor in-that kind-wicked heart-
You have continuous sunlight to aluminates the dark-
The spark is his-but the flame he deems yours-
The artistry is mine-But the fame is for ******-
Alone that boy stands ready for war-
Holding destiny in his hands-ready to soar-

WAITING-for what
WAITING-

Death to a man who spits with rage-
Hand of a demon words on a page-
Killer and profit all mixed into one-
Profit and poet hung up and high strung-
Pictures of paradise lie to my eyes-
Truth be told the lie was in her thighs-
Flirting with temptation-before sin sets in-
Pray to the Lord-Devil has a grin-
Alone in the desert-with rattle snakes at my feet-
Kicking up dust-to the same old beat-
Answer the door-hoping opportunity’s there-
Chase for the cheddar time to beware-
The hunt has been on since the dawn of all time-
Beating and beating till I beat out a rhyme-
Put my feet on the pavement-Walk with some pride-
Put my hand on my piece the pen is the prize-
Alone in the cold shaking and praying-
I’m knocking on opportunity’s door-**** all the waiting-

Vent
Step in the room, clouded by remorse-
Living in virtue, as a monetary *****-
Grind till you can’t shine-
Anymore-
Till your soul is soaked with weary-
And the theory doesn’t mean-
Much more-
Wake up and follow the footsteps of all those who failed before you-
Pretend what you’re doing means something to you-
Cause at the end of the day when your laying in your grave-
Your going to ask why you just let time slip away-
Why you worked so hard till you turned bitter and grey-
Why you followed the fold cause there wasn’t much more you could say-
We all do it, they took us by the neck-
Made paper a value-40 plus hours of regret-
And I bet, nothing will change-
Generations will comply to do all the same things-
Work till their fingers are bones-
Till they receive more debt just to own a home-
And grow with the same type of disappointment as the ones before-
Capitalistic disappointment creeps into the pores-
Chores-are as follow-work, work, work-
Don’t break the mold-physically healthy mentally hurt-
Vent now son before its all to late-remorse clouds this room-
Hate guards the gate-
Welcome to the red, white, and blue fate-

Like you-
-August 11, 2005-August 11, 2010-

Five years are gone-
But not a day has passed-
Every thought of you has helped me re-live the past-
In a place where life seemed to have a grasp-
Where Laker games and chicken soup-funny laughing all with you-
Park days-Where children play-you and I we grew the same-
Same name-never change-be like you-that’s what I intend to do-
Do it to the best of the abilities I have-
Be a good friend-great husband-and an amazing Dad-
Honest man-honest heart-honest from the day I start-
Passionate-breaking grounds-changing currents-chasing sounds-
Never will I let you down-Never will I let you down-
Hear my words-hear my thoughts-watch the road-I embark-
Be the King of my dreams-Be my Daughters everything-
Be wife’s loving man-Be my friend’s relying hand-
Be my Mother’s voice of pride-Orchestrate ocean tides-
Be Father’s only son-be the man who never runs-
Be a brother-be a King-Be like you-and that’s everything-
Thank you for giving me-your love-passion,-honesty-and most importantly-
Your never-ending legacy!

I love you-

King-
King Of Denial-

Confusion is the case; so confused I feel-
Tried so many times-Its like nothing is real-
Been lost in the desert-Trying to make my way-
Searching for the promise land-
Before I turn bitter and gray-
Attitude makes leverage for where I might go-
Confidence is the journey in which I prove I can grow-
Move slowly beyond images that dwell in my mind-
Take risk-no more living in rewind-
Always proceed with caution-
Trust most in my conscience-
Nonsense takes a toll on every living being-
Tabloids rearrange into deception and needing-
Needing more than one could every really gain-
Playing with lives-lies flow through their veins-
Lost world-love is the game-
Life-Bitterness can drain-
Hold moment by moment-Eat what I can-
Run with the wild bury my guilt in the sand-
Lay in the sky-Hell if I’m ******-
Contemplate ownership-
Growing into being a man-
Hold the deadly venom-Speech from my glands-
Share the utter thought-
Hold on to her hand-
Sleep a restless sleep-
Deep in a dream-
Pray for forgiveness-
Dance to the scream-
Pray for my Mother-
For her love is so needed-
Pray for peace in this world-
Human will has retreated-
Alone-
My cry to the wild-
Empty throne-
Crowned King Of Denial-

Yeah-Little Dreamer
Yeah little dreamer-
Here we go again-
Lets sit at the mirror-
Lets  become friends-
No longer enemies-
Talking once more-
Friends to the written-
Divided we soar-
To all the huge clouds-
That share all our thoughts-
To divine intervention-
That share all our cost-
My stomach is hungry-
But food it don’t want-
Fear is too present-
Ambition I hunt-
No future when you front-
So just become you-
Learn to love what you got-
Only when it’s true-

16 Years Ago-
16 Years Ago-

I was sitting in class when that note arrived-
I looked up at my teacher with a tear in my eye-
He said “Richie, grab your stuff your leaving for the day”
I knew at that moment I would be out of words to say-
I walked to the parking lot and there stood my Dad-
Leaning on his white Volvo looking so sad-
We didn’t say much as we made our way over the hill-
We both knew what was coming-I didn’t think it was real-
We arrived at the hospital and everyone was there-
Your Daughter was pregnant-Your son was scared-
I looked around the room tears were singing like songs-
I reached for my Grandfather’s hand-
He told me “Be strong”-
My dad leaned in and by your bed he was at your side-
For one second longer he told you “open your eyes”-
To look around the room to see us for the last time-to know we love you-
To know its time-
You opened your eyes and I still see them to this day-
You past so fast here are something’s I wish I could say-
I would like to say thank you for all that you did-
Taking care of so much, your brother and your kids-
I know it wasn’t easy and I understand more now-
You went through so much-
I want you to know now-
That everyone is well-
Your son is being a man, and being a friend-
Your daughter is good-Your Grandsons are men-
So another year has come and another year gone-
I’m looking at the sky and because of you I’m smiling all day long-

We miss you-

I believe-

I believe I will achieve at all cost-
Lead the world into peace and prosperity no scaring me-I’ m here for eternity-
Wording in diversity building bridges over seas of materialistic needs-
And I sing the praises-
As nothing could phase my desire to achieve-
Can you hear me?
Baby can you feel me?
Stand strong like the leader I know I was meant to be-
Like the Iron Lion of Zion I feel I have a piece in me-
Deep in my heart it sings-
I am a vessel for the human will-
Sailing dangerous waters not for the thrill but to stop mankind from a killing spree-
How much more should we bleed before we believe it’s enough?
Follow me as I lead us through the darkness to a level that the devil can’t harm us-
I feel enormous-
Larger than life-But humbled by my beautiful wife-
I will bare the strife-
Make things right-
Through the night-I fight-Not for the limelight-
But for the lifeline of human kind-
That I believe-

Engraved in my soul is the dreamer of dreams-
Holding thoughts over rainbows-
As I flow like a stream-
Hearing my daughters as they are speaking though me-

They are the utter thought that drives my very day-
The wisdom of virtue that makes me sings and makes me praise-
The heavens that be, no matter what I foresee-
My daughters are the light in which I can believe-
And here in this moment-
They will always understand that their father will thrive to be the best man-
To raise them with a soft hand-
To give them love and compassion when they need it the most-
I will be their best friend-their father- and their coach-

You can hear it in the crack of my throat-

Little Ella-
Friends-
I don’t know what I am feeling-
Or how to express what I want to say-
I don’t know if words could make it better-
Right now, I don’t know if I could pray-
I feel like I am lost without words-
Words I wish I could say-
In grand scheme of it all, there was a pause in today-
And my heart skipped a few beats for pain that isn’t mine-
Thinking of what you might be going through has been plaguing my mind-
I reach my spirit out to you every second of this time-
Holding on to emotions eating up my insides-
And that is just a fraction of what you might be going through-
Life can be cruel but I believe there is a purpose for all-
For the old, for the young, for the short and for the tall-
Time will help heal the pain but it might never fully go away-
I send you my love and peace be its name-
I hope you are well-

Dealing with all of this-
I know it’s not easy-
I know it’s far from bliss-
I don’t know the pain-
But I do know the miss-
I wish a fast heart recovery-
For I know you are so strong-
I wish you the ease of the world-
The beauty of its songs-

Ella-
I did get a chance to meet you-
You came and went faster than I could see-
Now you are gone and its eating up inside me-
I cried tears for you-I have know your mommy for sometime-
I shed all this emotion-I bare in time-
Take care of your mommy from the Skies that are above-
Continue to share memory continue to share your love-
Little Ella-maybe one day we will meet-
We will swing on the swings-
We will dance with our feet-
We will play till the moonlight finally shines-
We will laugh and we love and we will live in rewind-
May your little soul be blessed-
May your parents heal and be able to rest-

Vacant-
Embrace by the voices that plague this very weary soul-
Tidal waves of existence-Drowning in complete sorrow-
Reach for the heaven-allow the glory behold-
Smile for the fakes-continue to mask it with goals-
In the stomach of knots lays a treasure of trove-
Where heartless beats-bop-never to stop cries of the cold-
Truth be told all the stories of how you withered a fold-
Deep in your breath you weathered a storm-
The age of the ageless contented the norm-
Rock a buy a lullaby-dreams of being grown-
Home to the distance-Vacant to the throne-
Thorn in the needle-Needlessly torn-
Home is the distance-Distantly shown-
Awake for your existence-un-exultantly known-
Embodied by the voices-the plague-you delicately call your own-

breathe
Breathe
Right now I’m tired-
I’m beat-
I’m just weak-
I’m looking for you-
To sit by your feet-
And just listen to you breathe-
And breathe-
Most likely never exchange a word-
Just sit by your feet-
Because it’s the best place in the world-
And you Breathe-
And I am at ease-
In a symphony of peace-
Please-
Bear with me-
As I breathe-
And you breathe-
Lord I question your very means-
Still not understanding how you did this to me-
This I do selfishly-
Needing him more now than I ever could have believed-
Lord I am down on my bleeding knees-
Asking you to answer me-
But it’s just not happening-
And I am not understanding-
How you could be so commanding-
But won’t answer me as I am demanding-
I guess this is just damaging-
Soul examining-
Look for any reason to get a handle on things-
I apologize as I do this selfishly-
He is resting and I must realize I am nesting-
His memory is refreshing-
I close my eyes and I sit by his feet-
And I just listen to him breathe-
And breathe-
And at that moment I am at peace-

Show them darkness ends and where love starts-
I lurk in the shadows of despair-
Where the glare takes the air-
Right out of your lungs-
Where you pace back and forth-
Singing the song that’s been sung-
High strung-Hung high at noon-
Consumed the devils-
Closing in on the room-
Break free from the chains-
That hurt me so-I grow-
Larger than pain will ever know-
Because-
These shadows play no part-
I will fill the world with this illuminated heart-

You shine-
Brighter than the brightest star-

My Queen-
I knew when I saw you for the first time that night-
Something in my gut said you might be my wife-
Standing by the poolside looking so fine-
I knew that one day I would have to make you mine-
I still can’t believe that night that we shared-
The magic in the air cause destiny was there-
And there I was so scared an alone-
The king on this throne without a queen to call home-
But you saved me from my sins and I recognized all the love that you bring-
I’m grateful to have you always by my side-
Riding through this life like we’re Bonnie and Clyde-
Baby understand for the rest of my life-
That you will be the one thing I would never sacrifice-
Through the strife-through the stress-through the mess-you’re the best-
My decision to love you I can never regret-
Baby-
You know I love you-
You-
Know one else above you-
Its true-
Forever I will be here for you-
And no one else before you-
Now journey with me through time and through space-
Finally reached a place that can never be replaced-
And I’m standing that the gates-
The Lord is in my face-
Explaining my achievements and fixing my mistakes-
Inhaling your love with every breath that I take-
Sharing a family with the children that we raise-
And when I look into your eyes I know I’m ok-
And for the first time in my life, I’m seizing the day-
I finally understand-so I’m giving my thanks-
Cause you’re the sunshine that’s clearing up the rain-
And when I listen to your voice I’m feeling no pain-
I’m honest from the go-so my heart will be explained-
I’ll focus on our life till the day that I’m graved-
I’ll treat you like a queen and never a slave-
Stand toe to toe with anyone who tries to take my place-
My decision to love you could never be contained-

Blue Eyes
Blue eyes penetrate through this so called soul-
Reached in for my heart-took the whole thing-whole-
And now the whole world knows I am in love with this girl-
Like the axis that’s spinning-my face has been grinning-and I have been given-a chance for love-
And you love-have my heart on our sleeve-happy from the sickness-I Love your disease-
And if you please-I would like to express what I hope to achieve-a life of loving you-steadily increase-
Years plus I went down on one knee-Asked you to be my wife and spend your life with me-
And to my surprise-you blessed me with your grace-and each morning I awake I love seeing your face-
So please continue to penetrate my soul-to help raise our children-to reach all of our goals-
Because I already achieved the most important thing to me-that beautiful smile-that engulfs me-

Ride-
He rode that ride-
His eyes crossed in time-
No reckless care for the wind, no wild care for mine-
He felt that fast brush-that freedom in the air-
The curve of the appeal-
Had him truly not scared-
The jolt of the speed-faster than he perceived-
Caution elimination-was one hell of a lead-
And then there it was-The bang down below-
The wind of the freedom meet him with hello-
Now the carcass once so lit by life-
Hangs dormant in the street-as sirens sing lullabies-
His mother eyes-gone dark as that day-
His father’s love-gone without a word to say-
And all for that moment-for the wicked speed of air-
Now once so empty is plastered with beware-
