want to know what's real?
seek mythology & folklore;
ever wondered why fairytales
become dismissive as you grow?
-
the inner-child
holds open-mind,
& so reveals the true nature.
-
imagination,
pretend-play
&
curiosity.
are you too grown-up,
or too adult to see?

spare the gory details,
slay the gods
with retail.
-
only essence is material,
knowing nothing of imperial.
-
black man,
get your money.
black man,
take your money,
buy your freedom.
-
maybe some day we'll all be free.

romance films,
one too many.
way too caught up in the love stories;
no happy endings
cause they never really end.
-
some say love lives on
beyond this physical reality.
to find a love that surpasses,
so immortal.
-
insidiously complicated
yet i would give my last breath
to partake in just a moment
with a love that continues...
-
on & on & on
-
maybe love has really left planet earth.

of course,
my obsession would leave me uneasy & upset
at the fact that you're not as crazy about me
as i you...
-
its just ive never had reciprocity,
no mutual effort,
not even a hint at attempt.
-
so when you find them aesthetically pleasing;
you lust,
you lurk,
you love
& they excite you.
-
you used me to gain steadiness
then shook my hand as if i possess nothing more,
as if feeding into me was some sort of taboo.
-

if you ask me where i've been
i can tell you where i've been...
-
to the moon
& back.
to the moon,
i'm back
& forth.
-
after-dark you can find me
with a spirit squad behind me,
a force to guide me,
a light inside me.

there lies much power in the written word,
i wish not to inflict harm...
-
but if you dare test
my humanly conditioned
state of existence;
i may write you off
then dispose of your corpse
down below to the land of the dead
amongst the ones who are
mislead,
into the state in which you feared...
-
please never drive me to that point of no return.

doors opened to the tenth dimension,
the god in me knows
i've earned it...
-
obstacles throw themselves at me,
testing my patience
& im learning
to trust the timing...

as i watch generations
continuously fall into toxic cycles,
gain hope
& lose sense of what they know.
-
i stand behind
as magic curates in my veins
& in my wombs
lie everything i'd need to recreate.
-
if they would listen,
they would see that all we need
exists already.

i am mother...
most flaw-full,
awe-filled,
still loving like no other.
-
its scary how
no one knows the bond.
i do treasure the experience;
i gave my life to
the one i gave life to.

i think myself into new dimensions,
i'd take you with me if you weren't afraid to die...
-
as i wander in search of mystery,
its just this world is such a bore.
i know there's more,
i still explore
&
i still am the best company.
