On flat bank’s where
grass runt reeds grow
waiting for rising tide,
A lone Heron stealths silently
while Gulls cry warning, and dive effortlessly in to a cold sea air.
Pheonix  Peanut and Pandora
stranded on wet mud bank,
wait for their chance to escape
but it’s bonds that need to be severed in their quest for freedom.
Estuary lights dim and flicker in the distance while closer to shore Mermaids sing on the breath of a storm.
Beckoning sailors "come ride the waves"
Siren songs of lost souls and shadows
“Come with us” on this bursting sea.
And they sing with a drowning charm
as fishermen launch vessels under a shawl covered wife's watchful eye.
And yesterdays widows weep, face rained bright from navigational lights.
Ships bell ring in time with a rollicking sea,
Pheonix  Peanut and Pandora
still await their escape but not this night.
While the Heron has long fled this great swell.
No cries now from gulls nor mothers hurrying their little ones to the safety of their coal fired warm homes.
Just the rage of wave riding mermaids that will have their bounty
the heart and souls from a fisherman life.
#Something I dotted down while sat under the brown Laugharne castle gazing  out to sea.

a man scratches the
remains in the pan
the metal spoon and
its touch makes the
pan beg for mercy and
the man for more

"may men move mansions
in the magic of their mistresses"
a song plays in the background

a canvas waits for him to stop and
start smudging

a woman across
the street in her balcony
leaves the last two
drags of her cigarette
and fills the water in
the ashtray to extinguish
the smolder
incensed,
goes back into the walls

there's no one to
caress the moon tonight
and the cats gonna weep till
the sun wakes up the dogs

then the man washes the pan
and as soon as the pan dries up completely,
hunger stealths in again
like a sad mouse to a broken trap

the woman got goosebumps
and she closes her window
thinking that it was because
of the winter breeze outside

Each generation of we-bots
installs an app called "Been Forgots"
(of-the-wheres), we came from long ago.

So, each can play their special part
in life, just one great big, freak, show.

Hairies, fairies, ordinaries
hybernating with trolls and stealths.
Hypertexting to alternate selfs
churning, burning, always, on - the - go.

Grinnin as-if all is peachy.

"It's like they have and endless supply
of hi-grade hy-dro!"

So, drink eight ounces e-v-ery day,
Eat an apple every night
(you add ten gigs with every bite).
Bytes! Liquids help the data flows.

PS: garbage in, garbage out,
power down nightly, for upgrades of, your "knows".

Blowing, wafting, in the cool breeze,
the exhalations of the trees.
Solid ground on which we walk,
becomes the tongue, with which we talk.

The seeds we planted last December
will bloom into beauitful fragrants.

Take a sniff. Now, remember.
Bless the mic, like Kwali, with the stings of bee, Ali
Set my mind free, brace the sanity, of life, broke a flee,
Off a dog, these wanna be hogs, love to keep ya mind, on jog,
I meditate, wisdom then some, hardly, still sip bacardi,
Or maybe, chase a tail grand Hennessy, black beanie,
Similar to G Deini, shrink haters tryna  stay above me,
Me and my girl, go together like suns to moons, consume,
By her perfume, natural scent, linked for the spiral embezzlement,
Souls touched, double dutch, break out like a Jordan Clutch,
Fadeaway, all the negativity, lift ya ****** off of gravity,
If ya try me, soldier born eyes in the storms, to stay ready,
Mind focus, sharp as a michete, peaceful but deadly,
Preach to these cats, not enough cheese for the rats,
Quick to pat you down, let off rounds, body kiss the ground,
How many gotta die, for us to be ratified, by justice that fried,
Innocent lives, still tryna find the honest hives, cried,
Many lonely nights, mocked the rain, like tears, streaming down,
The window pane, stuck at a loss, tryna focus on gains,
Refrain, from the haters still wear zoot suits,with a gator,
Fedora hats, looking in the mirror, at myself, likes who's that?
Gotta stay cool, don't let them see a break, a sweat fool,
I watch the mule, shake off of the evil jewels, know the rules,
Play it safe, ninety eight laws, of power, helped from being sour,
As I shower, drops,
Over ya head, half senile threads, on my thoughts that spread,
Miss the feds, they tried to blast, but I'm too fast, built for everlast,
Crash, dummies order of chaos, wrapped like a mummy,
Ensemble, something mindful, pass the dreadful, and hateful,
People taking too many spoonfuls, of lust, greed, and weath,
Dont ask me, why I blast back, I keep myself deep in stealths,

If love do exist
Why not showing up?

Is it because it is blind
Or its actions are stealths?

Is love unique
Or its a kind of department?

If so
Then why not sending us
Its children?
Maybe it is dumb!

Where the hell is love?

If what i loved
Was loving you,

If what i wanted was only you

If all my pretedings was for
You to love me back

If my hands were there only to
Touch you

If my ways became lousy
Fighting for you

If you were the only light in my
Puzzled paths

If my thoughts were always about you

If only you knew my stealths

If the kind you, made me fall in deeper
And immerse yourself in my veins

Then,

Why did you leave me?
Spit it differently, far from slouchy, rock the independently,
Sitting it like a senate be, once I excel, my vocal chords, aboard,
the night train, to Georgia cant ignore tha, mind explorer,
More pages, of rhymes than a Torah, others just boring ya,
Let me, show ya how to finesse, the best, summertime no stress,
Used to wear a vest, combat test, to measure, cues for my quest,
Johnny, still tryna be, bravo in the cherry holes, but the ovens closed,
Let me show ya, how it grows and grows, like David's soul,
Feel these ghetto scrolls, scriptures of the only bold, who hold,
Treat wisdom, like gold, others paying toll, knock out trolls,
Easily, sittin in the corners, hating me, but at the same time,
Time praising me, amazingly, as I penetrate the Hennessy,
Plenty, to go round, heavy shells, packed for, the hallow rounds,




Armani style
suits, with gutter troops, catching heats of the scoop,
Alley-op, ****** a snitch, machine gun funk, gangsta *****,
Send the goons out, no doubt, moving like a Lucas route,
Play close attention, to my ambitions, suspension,
Got cams, all around me, feelin, like Bruce the god Almighty,
But theres no TV, only me, as the bible, posted comfortably,
Let my hands, stick together eyes closed, say a prayer, for me,
To much to see, too many places to be, status of a don legacy,
Readily, setting the plots, give all that Ive got, stash the plots,
Take my secrets, to the grave, too many murders, a blazed,
Stuck my infinite ways, no longer happy days, but I stays,
True to self, my true wealth, unique I spit, so I play it in stealths,
Born as a desert bird black hearse sheppard
Far from the Lord most largely ignored
Went back to the drawing boards for my vocal chords light up ya spinal chords
A rappin' Moor sickamore flow blows like satchmo
Off of the roof tops tops drops cashed stocks
No bail bonds once im locked on
These bars crash a galaxy stars Mars
To earth see my girth and my true worth
Infinite word to the dark senate independent
Fools hate to see me spin it winded
Out my opponents exposed to an exponent
Who want it taunt it my guns blazin' horrors to the top of the auroras
Flashback relapse ya life collapse
Perhaps you need to take precaution
I cause exhaustion when I breath in oxygen
Injectin' cold carcinogen sippin' gins
Golden boy dojo this ain't taebo **
Let me show you how to flip this dough
P cooked this beat so now it's time to eat
Greet melanin's activated from the obsolete
Black mind's that didn't get to speak
Flowin' up **** creek watchin' for the Meeks
Inherit the earth four corners spread
Imagine all the thorough heads shed-ding
Bloodshed black Genghis these fools singers
Become mock birds once we measure the stingers


Welcome to danger!!!!! Twilight!!





Boomeranging Halle berries yo its kind of scary
Everyday i pace back and forth close to the cemetery
That's my true friend ultimate perdition
I'm tryna find something to believe in lies within
Self learn wisdom yo that's real wealth
Guarded by the spiritual stealths left welts
On the back of my black dot check my plots
Slave descendant rocking drums crescent
Shining once i supper the moons elegance
My presence alone even make demons tense
Silver rings left by the side of my left cheeks
Washing the silent tears that try to speak
They don't want no beef with the Indian chief
Smokin' irons like pipe pieces feces increases
Now you drippin' soon to be sky trippin' rippin'
Through the ozone cosmos daydreams
Found my team once I learn to scheme cycling
Ponzi cool az The Fonzi grandson to Bumpy
Johnson watch the clouts gain pain strains
Even the biggest giants David to Galliaths
See how serious war paths can get you hit
Dont let your emotions send you a free trip
Check the African tip spears thrown out the atmosphere
Split the hemisphere
Parted the windy ways that sways cardinal obeys
Its the order of nature
Says met up with the mystic gryphon liftin'
Gave me an invisible crown whisperin'
How to operate my enemies drag em to their knees
Holdin' a sword over their vocal chords
Ack-nowledge the brother with over a thousand Lords



Welcome to danger!!! twilight!
