old samurai sits
riverbank gently flowing
stream katana drops

The moon is my only companion at night
My blade is drawn and ready to retaliate.
The cherry blossoms fall and stain the ground pink
and with my sword I draw vivid red.

i move thru rolling hills clothes caked from dust
a pilgrim with no master and
no one to trust
for love of the art dictates
my style and stance
fluid in the movements of hells
windstaff
kitana at my side in my hand sacred
scrolls
the blade reaps the souls words clash with frontal lobe
i journey the countryside sunrise to
sunset
thru bloodshed from foes neck i remain unchecked
suspect at large down this lone
path i march
throat parched from dry wind i remain unhealed
scarred from the years i dodged
enemy spears
and nights i lost love from the one
i dried tears
no one to swear allegiance to while i roam presestined
and strengthened as my wisdom remains unquestioned
left in the wreckage of this rite of
passage
casualties and threats flee
i remain a savage

dust thick in the air—
he kneels; hands clasped tight around
the tsuka. his fate.

thirteen warriors
the battle scarred shogun chose
pledge dedication
oaths of loyalty—
the thirteen professed each one
ride to meet their fate
on the battleground
the daimyo taunts the thirteen
our heroes clasp swords
the afternoon sun
baked the blood spilled in Edo
battle cries still ring
the clash of steel from
darkened plain quiets—as the
shogun flouts his lord
the lord confronted—
strikes with aimed ferocity
the shogun repels
blow for blow the lord
persists but the shogun stands
and wont relinquish
the righteous eyes of
the shogun meets the anger
playing in the lord's
as the thirteen watch
their shogun locked in struggle
the final blow slips
the daimyo then falls
to screams of the thirteen—the
shogun cleans his blade

The moon is my only companion among the nights, my two swords are always available to retaliate, but from this path I seek to move away. My oath is to protect justice against everything I dare to confront, even if for this my life I should sacrifice. As much as I seek peace, war always finds me and drags me back to hell. The cherry blossoms fall and stain the floor pink, and with my sword I pinch with vivid red that I draw from my enemies. But where will this come from? I just want to live in peace, but the sword is and always has been the fate of a Samurai.

Tilted sword please spare my bow and arrow
I beg you not to throw your violet venom unto my wings of sparrow
Have mercy on my slicked backed and chipped horns
Less I throw my guardian and with him my thorns

The darkness captivates light & receives nothing
but pure dust and a light breeze.
Heaven can you save me.
I am blind & severely hurt.
Seized & disconnected.
Pondering on racing thoughts,’ones that seem to cry.
I am a lost samurai,
vanished from power,
abandoned in a mist of…
despair.
Where & what is reality?
I am not trying to escape from my head,
instead my head is holding my brain captive.
It wants to grow.
It wants to bloom.
I can not speak.
Tears have drowned & suffocated my lungs.
You will not hear the foreign language I stutter now.
I seek for revenge but who do I seek?
This “fake” reality that I am living,
will it ever stop.
This recklessness of my thoughts,
will it ever decease & make any sense.
I need to calm the chaos,
as I try to understand & accept the mind.
As I am a … samurai.

Don't ever let my calm demeanor fool you,
you opened your mouth now its time to School you,
in the deadliest art, I tear you apart,
you're done from the start-get back in your Kart
and go blow your Horn,
while my Sonic Boom engraves my Chi into the Matterhorn
If I let rip they're zippin' up your rap crimes as evidence,
cause many moons ago I first set the Precedent-
Presidential rhymer but I'm no Twitter Twit,
**When I bring the pain I like it to be intimate,
I'm Sado your Maso can't admit you're into it,
try to stop your toe tapping no control of it,
first strike Staccato, then smoooth like a Stiletto,
sliding into Silk Skin you let go** ...
Chorus
*Cause I'm your Sensei, show respect to your Teacher,
Bow Loooow cause I've a long way to reach ya,
won't breach your Confidence-just your Defense,
batter clatter shattered Armour-Helm full of dents*
As I let go, ooh kid look what you done did,
Saw a Tigers tail twitchin' and then ya pulled it!,
shoulda mulled it over, now I pulled ya over,
now you're clickin your heels squeakin' no place like home huh?
******************
Your weak wordplay VS my Lyrical Swordplay
could put you down like child's play - Behold your Sensei
Join the ranks? - no easy way, just the EC way...
don't like it? there's the door for the greasy strays...**
++++++++++++++++++
*but if you stay?--- you'll learn from the best,
lyrical onslaughts Dim Mak sounds stop hearts in chests,
or open minds to other possibilities...*
**Stick with us kid, find the Sea of tranquility-
become a Warrior Poet heart full of Nobility,
use words as weapons to expose Fragility,
then some day you too can be a Sensei...*
**When you're a Sensei you discover lifes the Teacher,
Open up your Third eye, let the whole world reach ya,
I greet you - as a worthy Proponent,
always ready for the next opponent...**
*Some just can't and won't learn the lesson,
even when I break it down to the essence,
essentially your Sensei sees...
at least four **** moves ahead o' ye,*
**That's why i'm so relaxed while I'm battlin'
your nerves are fraught your nails bit-teeth chatterin',
face scrunched up in fear of the batterin'
you go from Rambo to Lamb as I unleash a Cataclysm**
**********************
*A Thesaurus Tesseract powerin' a Juggernaut,
Bipolar Jaeger Driver Plasma weapon o' thought,
my life is a War zone my weapons are words,
Paleface Shamefaced attacker reveals a hidden sword*
**but I've met ya before defeated with metaphor,
Meta-Physical giant like fallin' through Smithsonian floor,
Deception meets Conception like Inception,
then my Dai Katana rips through your mid section...cause**
*I'm a Sensei-world class instructor rhymin',
you lost the beat and now you're off timin',
a wounded Gazelle limpin' cross the plains,
I take aim - release you from your Pain*
**Cause I'm a Sensei use my art for my Zanshin,
reflexively inflexively effortlessly Dancin'
across the page across the stage across your lives...
Cause a true Sensei knows the real teacher...is LIFE**
Love you all, stay strong, stay positive Act- don't React

I like playing with words
Sometimes drinking coffee
I imagine I'm a ballerina drawing swords
To make my mind flee -
I need no drugs
But the little man in my coffee cup shrugs,
He whispers
'try some sativa'
I am stubborn
I pick him by his toes
And feed him to the bugs
'Viva!
The independent mind!' Says Shiva!
I'm now a samurai...
doing ballet moves.
