Eid's faithful whispers
Oh black negus. Why do you hate me so much? Noticed I called you by your rightful title. Negus King, Ruler, Emperor Not ***** or ****** The derogatory term originating from the crackers, or ***** the mild disparagement softened by society made to think that it's acceptable. But anyway let's get back to it. Why do you hate me? Is it because of my full lips or my round hips? My low tolerance for ******** The way that my stretch marks are engraved in my skin? Or how the roots of my hair aren't so thin. Is it my naturally sun kissed skin? Even toned complexion? It just can't be my uncanny resemblance to Isis the Egyptian Goddess! So why not praise me for my natural features Why go on one knee for their paid for enhancements Should I react like Angela Basset in Waiting to Exhale? Screaming and shouting while my face is growing pale. But pardon my melanin I was perplexed by this darkness that stared at me in the mirror That stared at me looking in my lovers eyes and taunted me Smiles behind hidden hate they constantly berate my beauty But pardon my melanin My superiority is in my melanin Encased in my skeleton Our ancestors wouldn't like this They would not be proud of that colorism that exist They slander us for our features yet they list after it This systematic thinking has our men slandering us but they won't admit You continue to beat me down yet I am your mother. I am the fruit of this nation. But pardon my melanin So I'll ask again Why do you hate me? We are carved in the same beauty and without each other we can't exist I still remember the first day that we kissed but a few months later you left me for hailey in an unfortunate bliss Melanin filled girls I am here to say You are a queen never be afraid to be seen The brother that disrespect and degrade are absolutely absurd! You are not ratchet bitter or mean Youre a stunning melanin queen So pardon my melanin? Naw enlightened by me melanin.

Rest in this, my bruised and weary soul: I was a wretch, chosen to be a beauty; a slave, chosen to be a bride; an orphan, chosen to be an heir; an enemy, chosen to be a friend. I deserved nothing but wrath and death yet received everything of life and grace. I am loved beyond any dreaming of it and blessed above all worldly wealth. I have the incomparable birthright of those whose Father is God and whose Lord is Jesus Christ— righteousness from Him and peace with Him. I am a cherished gift from the Father to the Son. I was paid for by the Son’s own blood and am "engraved on the palms of His hands." I am the living temple of God’s Holy Spirit Who empowers me to do His pleasure and bring Him glory. I am the LORD's, chosen and set apart for His delight. ***What more could I ask? But that's only the beginning...*** I will live as blessed as I believe myself to already be, for "I have been blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ," "given everything I need for life and godliness" through knowing Him and His precious promises, "an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade— kept [securely and eternally] in heaven" for me. I've been "raised up and seated with Christ"; my "life is hidden with Him" in the Father, and "He will fill me with joy in His presence, with eternal pleasures at His right hand." Oh, that "the eyes of my heart would be enlightened with the spirit of wisdom and revelation" to see what’s already been prepared and given to me and to know much more fully the One Who has so meticulously prepared and lavishly given it. As I walk intimately with Him and rest confidently in Him (based only on His merits, never my own), I am given free access to my account in His heavenly storehouse and enabled to appropriate its glorious riches to every circumstance of my life, even the most searingly painful and confoundingly difficult ones. I have a spiritual Fort Knox available to me through knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, but He Himself is my greatest treasure. Without Him, nothing else matters. Nothing else has meaning if I am not found in Him, clinging to Him and carried by Him. When I finally become desperate for Him alone, I begin to understand the profound reality of all He desires for me and offers to me in my spiritual inheritance in Him. There are infinite presents to be unwrapped in His presence which cannot be told in human words or comprehended by mortal minds, but they wait to be taken hold of by any and all who would take hold of Him. ***For He gives and gives and gives and gives, and even when He takes, He gives.***#

Smashing the ice with a sledge hammer is exhausting Pounding, sweating, blisters pulsating Slowly chipping away at the vastness of frozen emotions Yet, the ice is formidable from months of winter Forced to recalculate, to innovate, to anticipate Salt has the ability to melt ice into tears of joy Unless the salt solvates in open wounds Progress freezes until nature's spring decides The sun is enlightened enough to slowly Allow thawing in his Mother's time

Cold Hearted
Thirty days have passed by, purity abiding around my heart Our souls were so blessed to fast Ramadan deeply sincere To be enlightened by its vast mercy and the extreme prosperity a gift from Allah came along to bless our hearts to spread peace and love, to dig faith in each part A blessed bounty to wipe away our tears to rest our souls and vanish our fears to sparkle with faith with our ambitious beliefs and twinkle light in our bright smiles I can't explain the sadness, that all of it is already gone Yet I am unable to express, all the happiness that came along Oh dear Eid, you can't help it but sowing seeds of joy, All the little children jumping out of ecstasy, or something more We gather all of us in a room, cheering everything we have got the child's enthusiasm kindling a thriving inner radiance joining hearts with the profound crystals of love feeling the gratitude for Allah's merciful blessings pounding hearts of affliction and yearning attempting to catch glimpses of happiness that once has been hunted by a sudden death of a loving dear soul I have two sides today, in my spirit is something wrong but it's real, and I can't hide it and let the feeling in my heart just lay A beaming smile, so doleful eyes As I said I have got two sides And still can not decide. This great festival meant a lot, now it is just a reminder, to all the years that have flown celebrating a day without her. It is just a replay, to the digging nostalgia in my core, until Allah will send a cheerful hope, just be patience to get over all the mope work even harder to cherish the heaven above. Yet you see, this movie will come again, the next year and the melancholia, tingled with nostalgia might keep you deaf and blind along your long road. Remember that Allah's door of repenting is always wide open Waiting for your heart to get back and mind be awaken...

Dear America, Do not call my generation stupid. We were the first group of kids to learn a computer. Think about that society: A group of kids learned this intricate machine. Yes, I'm talking about the O.G. Apples with the green type where you had to save with a floppy disk and if you put a magnet to the screen it went purple forever. Yes those, same kids grew up and created everything you see before you now. Everyday. Do not call my generation ignorant. In a short time span of years, as children, we learned about oral relations with interns and terrorist attacks. From Clinton's impeachment to the World Trade Centers/Pentagon/Flight93 Somerset. As children we learned; emphasis on the children part. Our minds grew knowledgeable of a world at hand long before society gave us credit. We grew up. Do not call my generation lazy. When we were sixteen and just received our license, gas rose to the highest it had ever been in our country's history. We got underpaid and  disrespected jobs: cleaning up bathrooms and serving your foot-longs. The ability to travel on our own, it was our new found freedom. Like the early travelers roaming new found lands: Our wings were spread. Do not call my generation weak. We are the same group of people who entered college or the workforce with the worst economic fall since the Great Depression. You ask, "What did it do to you?" Buried us in more and more debt until it consumed our life. But, we became enlightened. We majestically thrived in the chaotic times by finding out who we are, what we are capable of and that life will take us our journeys before we even see it coming. The light still shines even when you are buried the deepest. It does not matter what you throw at us next. We will rise and conquer. It's the world's hidden secret. I'm proud to live in this time. I hope you are too. Never giving up is our morale. Respectfully, THE PERENNIAL MILLENNIALS. cc: (No HashTag Necessary)

Look in the mirror Look at the clock Look at the time It never has stopped It only goes forward It's a one way walk See how you have been growing You ask yourself, "where have the days been going?" Time can only progress Yes, the river of life is always flowing We lived cabins And castles and caves We came from Adam and eve We evolved from apes From Socrates and Homer To Napoleon and Alexander the Great The minds that desired knowing And the enlightened ones glowing People can only advance Yes the river of life is always flowing Revolutions and rebellions Riots and revolts Great discoveries A key, a kite and a lightning bolt Great writings and inventions Innovations from inspiring jolts Improvement was showing To the future the world was going Humanity only began to develop Yes the river of life is always flowing Religions and sciences Economics and politics Television and radio Monarchies and dictatorships Tanks and machine guns Atomic bombs and battle ships We went from arrow shooting and spear throwing The muskets needed reloading To nuclear weapons Yes the river of life is always flowing Exploring new lands To find the world wasn't flat To find silver and gold And buried artifacts To establish new territories And expand the map The searching ship kept rowing As civilization went on growing Accomplishments of the past Yes the river of life is always flowing Boats and rail roads Fair trade and industry World wide markets Over land and sea To keep out nations going And stablize the economy But now every country has money that they're owing And the land that they're owning Is has evolved Yes the river of life is always flowing Social reforms Counter cultures fight They protest strongly For equal civil rights The world's in constant change Every day turns into night Every opening has its closing And then it comes back again As long as there's someone hoping Yes the river of life is always flowing We put people into space We have fought for equality Created a world from nothing And advanced technology We've struggle to go to where we are And continue to go strongly The opportunities fate has been bestowing We look forward to see what is ahead The memories and mysteries the hourglass is holding Yes the river of life is always flowing

The bitter bruises That mark my bare flesh Bring me closer to enlightenment The harsh words of enemies, Family, and friends Bring me closer to enlightenment The cruel human suffering And daily acts of violence Bring me closer to enlightenment The **** I see on my computer screens The darkness of our society Bring me closer to enlightenment You know what I don’t need to be that enlightened

Be smart be alert Do not hide the truth my friend Defend the truth until the end RW Dennen- Come my brothers and sisters   let us be basked in the sun of glory Be we the tears that fall   surrendered on cheeks that tell their tale Let slavery's master-yoke be broken   and cast away Come my brothers and sisters and so do join in our power's struggle   to lend a better day Come my brothers and sisters   may your shining soul be at rest Come be as neighbors no matter far away   let our colors merge one into one is one;     let racism fade away   and let rest us upon the immovable stone      of brotherhood; so powerful we are And so too awaits our resolve enlightened by our hearts of day Then tear that awful blind of ignorance and sing our song till all merge into one And laud that peace that will increase good tidings to us all Be that light until that sight when colors merge and BROTHERHOOD,   to never go away...

Bright light upon my brothers and sisters
You are song, Rain dropping on still pond. You are sky, I see Heaven in your eyes. Your are peace, A garden above the world. Your are grace, The gentle path of the swan. You are knowing, The wind that whispers alone. You are star shine, The dust that lights the plains. You are vast ocean, Mother to the Fathering atmosphere. You are dancing light  .  .  .

I know today the world celebrates you But in my heart, your festival plays all season To craft songs in your praise is honour And this wordsmith is honorable aplenty I know I'll never know the pain The way societies have pushed you when You blinded them with your radiance Now enlightened they can only apologise Justice is the cry! Tell me it is not my lone heart I do not strive to appease, it is just what every woman deserves Even if I lend my hand to just the ones close to my heart They say intelligence comes from one's experience, and wisdom from those of others' Wise I have become, so I pledge to be better than my fathers

A pledge to women
each time her bare front is full with illumination she is defined by the mystery of infinite black behind her and at her most enlightened is dappled with caters and scars ensconced in darkness lined by an aphotic slivered edge shadow speaks most deeply of the ways in which she moves

No one else, but a poet...can bring colors to scenes...with verses, in crass or subtle tones......gather words together in lines, uncertain in their ebbing and flowing... the results create surprise in many hues that could make one cry, grimace......frown......or smile readers are led to far, or near destinations...to the cool, sweet air and peaceful atmosphere of paradise, or, to unlit corners...uncharted waters, or deep into an abyss...or, a black hole, an unknown corner, where moribund souls are biding their time, maybe, they could now define by themselves, purgatory and hell, understand those sunken souls who have lost all...except their arms, and begging eyes... then, through appropriate words, a poet paints a laborious path, or a stairway...so an enlightened reader may climb back to safe, calm waters... a poet makes the mind see a human heart, beating in many rhythms...throbbing, .......aflame with longing and desire, bursting from ecstatic, sublime moments, then, later on, shift to grayish thoughts that cut deep....tormenting...crashing, ............gnashing the heart... a poet paints a soul walking on cloud nine, later, to dip feet in celebrative pools. sometimes, a poet would rather not, yet, an inner force prevails, thereby paints a drooping soul...dying, in total surrender, ready to fall..............but, again, with a barrel of lively-colored words, a poet takes this despondent soul to berth, with soothing verses, bring it to a rebirth... every human being is worth an effort ..............even those that have fallen .........................are worth savin' ..... a poet's palette is uniquely enriched with colorful experiences, a poet paints life in its truest colors, ..........could be dark...or bright .....nothing more......nothing less...

No one else, but a poet...can bring colors to scenes...with verses, in crass or subtle tones......gather words together in lines, uncertain in their ebbing and flowing... the results create surprise in many hues that could make one cry, grimace......frown......or smile readers are led to far, or near destinations...to the cool, sweet air and peaceful atmosphere of paradise, or, to unlit corners...uncharted waters, or deep into an abyss...or, a black hole, an unknown corner, where moribund souls are biding their time, maybe, they could now define by themselves, purgatory and hell, understand those sunken souls who have lost all...except their arms, and begging eyes... then, through appropriate words, a poet paints a laborious path, or a stairway...so an enlightened reader may climb back to safe, calm waters... a poet makes the mind see a human heart, beating in many rhythms...throbbing, .......aflame with longing and desire, bursting from ecstatic, sublime moments, then, later on, shift to grayish thoughts that cut deep....tormenting...crashing, ............gnashing the heart... a poet paints a soul walking on cloud nine, later, to dip feet in celebrative pools. sometimes, a poet would rather not, yet, an inner force prevails, thereby paints a drooping soul...dying, in total surrender, ready to fall..............but, again, with a barrel of lively-colored words, a poet takes this despondent soul to berth, with soothing verses, bring it to a rebirth... every human being is worth an effort ..............even those that have fallen .........................are worth savin' ..... a poet's palette is uniquely enriched with colorful experiences, a poet paints life in its truest colors, ..........could be dark...or bright .....nothing more......nothing less...

Candles burn, candles blaze, A Soul with a flesh, An angel not yet matured. Candles dim, candles fade, A Soul darkens, An angel becomes human. Candles brighten, candles enliven, A Soul enlightened, An angel discovers God’s grace. Candles glow, candles glimmer, A Soul is Called from flesh, An angel gains her wings. Candles’ light, candles’ shine, Though Souls remain in flesh, And she in Paradise, With them, God’s angel still resides. Candles’ flame, candles’ fire, Souls of conflict, souls of Love, God’s healing Peace and Grace be with them An angel of Heaven above dwelling in their midst.

Candles
We Two are One: Remember when Long time before You tried to catch your heels Flying solo bound Remember who crept in the darkness of your room and played upon your heart such beautiful sounds Remember the childhood wonder and forgotten dreams of sleeping rainbows Whilst mother earth blows stolen ****** kisses leave dancing shadows to find their way Onto the crisp breath's upon the lips of such youthful lovers and time stands still for a moment And loves air is fresh to inhale Remember you are the enormous tide that extends your mark upon this world. The grace of spirited waves, tossed and turned by timid sprays Enlightened by the suns rays In spirit and fortitude: Solitude awaits you no more Welcome the deluge and purity This elixir of life, Behold! For if loves cool waters are united, rippled every wave would be paved in gold Exhale the release Inhale the vision among us Grow and evolve just as the rivers flow Embrace love together and reflect nature's gazes For you are each others sleeping rainbow Do not forget your united destiny. You were meant to fly as in your dreams. Only higher. And together. Forever. Amen.

The Lovers Prayer
Beams of light explode over the soft sand, i can feel the warmth on my face as i sit on the beach, sinking softly into natures warm bed. The light seems to turn everything it touches into a glowing ball of light, as if god himself is smiling down at the dawn of a new day. The beach is deserted apart from a few seagulls that seem to share this enlightened appreciation. I grab my board and walk slowly towards the sand, my feet sinking into the grains, feeling the consistency change as the water laps at my ankles. My wetsuit keeps me surprisingly warm as the cold water rises slowly, and i close my eyes, holding my board under one arm. I smell the salt, the fresh air, this is what beauty is. I wander in, losing myself in this new environment. I duck quickly underwater wetting my hair and face, floating weightlessly in the water for a second, before rising, feeling fresh as i grab my floating board and straddle it. Leaning forward, i can seeing fish scatter as the first wave washes over me like a tilde wave of emotions and stress, i wipe the slate clean, i am the tabula rasa and this is a new day.

So many questions in my head about simple religions are they something God made or just devil envisioned? Its kind a practical but if I ask I'm demon possessed **** let me breathe in this cult I manifest. I'm lead to believe in something I don't understand I ask with such command am I insane because of this. They tell you two things opposite from each other but share the same views like prosperity and salvation. Telling you to not follow Islamic Ramadan, Hinduism caste systems or anything that corrupts the mind. To me its just nothing but simple communism an oxymoron for morons without a way of living. Too many days hoping for a message in a source in a enlightened force instead of letting nature take its course. How many years am I gunna live behind shades Even my shadow gets the most attention. Tired of wishing for the best still the stress keeps consuming success is up a hill a thousand miles away. Only if I had dreams to steal just to **** time A false grind running in circles chasing my own *** well even a dog wouldn't chase after a ***** with a fur collar I'm a dog barking at these strays. No choice no vision just a broken sand clock paused days seems to delay my own knowledge. No oracles its rhetorical trapped inside of Matrix living a basic life Brainwashed by circles of successors. So many serpents biting my flesh in this Garden of Eden Starving and bleeding constantly dreaming when I'm sleep and when I'm sleeping I'm 2 steps behind.

Constructive Criticism
I am a sunflower I am not a rose -- the bloom of the rose does not need to proclaim itself loudly to the world -- its very perfume is the witness of its own sweetness.   I was a psychiatric patient for awhile. This long period of enforced inactivity induced in me a love of reading which stood me in good stead. It made the inner life of thought and imagination intensely real to me at a very early stage. This used to absorb my attention so much, when a book was in my hand, that I became almost oblivious to what was going on around me. During these early days of rapid mental growth, a glorious treasure-trove suddenly opened up to me  (like a flower) a whole new world of fantasy and gave me its right of entrance into fresh realms of thought. My heart feel victim to my past lovers like the drug you were supposed to leave alone for awhile cigarettes became my only companions ; Lielanie too she helped with a sunflower like conversations I was enlightened and now I must grow again for my roots are starting to rot once again - my twitter followers and friends are the reason why I'm alive for I could vent and you; subliminally listen Thank You.

Sunflowers.
So the Bodhisattva said "Emptiness is none other than form, form is none other than emptiness" and I have perceived this emptiness through years of Yoga and Zen but the real understanding which I have gained about what emptiness is and how to perceive it can be done in a blink, because the greatest expression of emptiness is to look at what is in front of you at this very moment, because at that point the emptiness of it is so empty that is doesn't exist, this space between atoms is so empty that you can't even perceive it, so there, you are now an enlightened Buddha with a knowledge and perception of the Awesome Emptiness Of Everything. Congratulations!

The Awesome Emptiness Of What Is In Front Of Us
Meaningful is the wayward child that is found, For he or she finds favor in thus adoring praise. Replenishing spiritual vines that spread messages of hope above and beyond. Therefore, the third eye knoweth all. Whose breath gives life to the faint hearted. As barriers are tore down, crossing over... Anointed one, where, the precious angel entered. You are the brothers and sisters in faith building. They do preserver as the battle of Jericho. In a molding guidance of clay made hands... For their is hope of feeding the milk as well as the flesh. Kisses of glory befall unto your good graces. Thou wisdom quench the hell like rain pour puddles. His world! His judgment! His wrath! Bestow thou honor, in hills of perfect talk. Fatherless child! Fatherless child! Beware of the dragon den. Slay your enemies with delicate wings:the cup of kindness. As you are humbled in purple linens, fading all unseemly. The soldier of bravery, when thou hour come, there is a home. Cross over into the well enlightened pathways. Make the rough roads a gateway to the everlasting promise. Sing in jubilation, for tribulation is done and your vision seen.

Cross Over
What to do about wanderlust? Should it be quelled? Desktop backgrounds are my only escape Maps with tacks and backpacks with knick-knacks It all seems so far away Cobblestone steps are wearing down By the feet of enlightened in wondrous towns While chairs are pushed in Or left out of place Thoughts are escaping to the vacuum of space This Earl Grey is mint tea in Tangiers' seats Or gold and black Yunnan at her highest peaks It's sifting through pans of Fynbos' red leaves What to do about wanderlust? Should it be quelled? I seem to dwell

part 2 : wanderlust
No one to talk too My mouth is sore from being shut My brain spinning with thought I'd talk to the stars, Even they didn't show up The desert skies of royal hazey colors New grounds for me For others discovered Through long plight before me Spirits endlessly struggling To bask Alone Under the hazey royal indigo Desert skies Enlightened wolves Darkness despise
