Run away with me, Love.
We will build a tiny house
and live a tiny life together
with just us, a dog, a cat
poetry, wine and passion.

We will do only what we wish
and leave the world to itself.
I will love you more
than the stars can imagine
in the time that remains
until the years betray me
and then kiss you and
send you on your way
to what I will not see.

Run away with me love
and we will be happy and free
and content with our quiet,
intimate personal mystery.

for RLA*

Life rarely gives good odds.
Yet even in ****** battle
I have managed to beat them.
I am a lucky Monk: bulletproof.
Take a chance with me, lover.
Maybe I have enough luck
to cover you too; maybe I don't.

But as the lotto sellers love to say:
you can't win if you don't play.

SS : Bars on windows ,Bars on doors
Metal ceilings ,Beveled floors
Come in folks!
There's lots of room!
It don't matter it's a tomb...
A prison cell of bone & hide
You won't know Til you're inside...
Here I am, I'm in the lobby
Locked within a broken body
Makes me want to scream & shout...
I'm just dying to get out!
There's the rub... just want to cry!
To get OUT I have to DIE.
There's just one way To be free.
But I don't want to die, you see.
I guess I'll stay & just be ME.
AB : To posses more ,empathy,
Weeping over dead bodies like the anniversary of
9/11, God bless each and every person in this world to
live long and prosper, this is hostile,
waiting on Jesus to descend to us and preach the gospel,
there's not enough empowerment to help the weak,
And there's not enough food here to feed the homeless,
Not even enough  friends around your child to see her smile
and you always treat her like nothing so she thought her
life was worthless,
looked into the barrel of the gun And, POW!,
Didn't even say her last words , not even a letter,
you should have spoke to her,
could have been a better nurturer.
RLA : Living In  the Projects. ...

I learnt my name.... I learnt my fame...
Living in the Projects....

Learnt how to skillfully write my name in lights.... All over the place. ...
I was living in my own mind when it happened....

You....
Happened to Me...
From where you came, I had No idea....

I was lifted up, above my feet...

Don't leave me hanging ......
Around for too long.....
