Light
i want to give him something
authentic in sincerity
something soft as a whisper
as aerial and lofty
as tangential as a hum
the call of the sea
beaconing,dear love
come to me
all the secrets of Atlantis
sighed into his sails
waft in pure wonderment
a sweet breath exhaled
a wind song gusting
rustling thru loose leaves
mystic melodies
composing symphonies
harping my heart's
soulfelt soliloquies
sacred and untainted
refreshing as a summer's breeze
gentle as can be
tickling windchimes
i want to blow like...

the inoculation
something is brewing in my mood
shape shifting new dynamics of attitude
a whirlwind swirling in my emotions
a tsunami of tenderness and devotion
this magic potion coursing thru my viens
inoculates me,secretly whispering his name
immunizing me to ambiguity
with creative antibodies
sweet inspiration imbues me
spread in my system, subdues me
see he...he is wrought wire with barbs
truth in each piercing shard
especially when he goes hard
but i dare not disregard
the tenderness that make me...

Exoskeleton - Unwrap my smile
unwrap my smile and see what lies inside
the frustrations and fears i try at times to hide
inside you will find a plain brown paper bag
where i hid all the treasures i once had
see my gift,nothing fancy, just plain ole me
and beyond my smile lies the best and worse of me
my good, my bad, and my downright ugly
the fine print that's misinterpreted miserably
the me that few take the time to truly see
that's been thru so much yet maintained sanity
my smile, my joy, a gift i give to all freely
but if...

Arise***
if i had to choose just one word
one that guarantees my voice has been heard
one word so profound, it completely astounds
fireworks in the eyes of those left dumbfound
til my last day, til my breath exausts
i would scream this one word to awaken the lost
those who find themselves always the underachiever
make finders seekers,convert nonbelievers
just one word for all who doubt self
powerful meanings to help discover true wealth
~to originate or to come into existence
~to awaken,to get up,to move upward,ascendance
...

Grave Thoughts***
Swayed by the unyielding
the urge to control time
to go back,or shift forward
escape the confines of my mind
i am transfixed in this place
this miraged moment of stasis
dizzy and dissolute from
the desires of my soul's oasis
haplessly spinning on an axis
that turbid resolution conceives
i refuse to stay here
yet i can not leave
seems the more i seek light
darkness gains momentum
and i sway in yesterday
back and forth like a pendulum
these methodic tic toc
pains that pulse prolongs
right to left,right...

Seismic Surrender to Innate Inertia***
P.anoramic Pleasures
A.rticulate Animalistic
S.ensations Sated
S.alaciously Surrendered
I.ntricate Intensity
O.utlining Opulent
N.everending Need
echoing in liquid laments loud and lush
there... right there in the rubrics of hush
reverberating pulsating psalms
bathing my soul in healing balms
savage seizures ravish my brain
as i sank beneath murky depths of real and restrained
sinking...higher...i have been captured
free falling in neverending rapture
short circuiting sensations
vibrating...

Rhombus Ramblings....more bored bric-a-brac
truth is stranger than fiction
and maybe i am a little strange
i always strive for things
that seem out of my range
push myself beyond the limits
until even my skills have talent
challenging me, myself, and I
until mind, body, and soul are balanced
i am the writing on the wall
abstract art on the canvas
i am the truth...and fact of the matter is
some folks simply can't stand it
i've been call odd a time or few
but hey... its a-ok with me
odd i can handle, its that damn normal
now that just might offend me
see...

Waste Not*** the tale of the prodigal child
I dreamed somewhere someone was crying
someone i'd never met before
sobbing loudly,her tear were heavy
as tidal wave rushing the shore
spilling from her core in agony
she wept and writhe with pain
i heard her... saw her... felt her
and could only hang my head in shame
all her monsoon moans,her tsunami tears
she trembled and wailed, the earth was quaking
as she erupted,exhaling a hot exasperated sigh
i felt her volcanic voice vibrating
she said how could you hurt me so
my child...after all i've done for you
fed...

Sky Pica***
i have a taste
for unusual things
uncontrollable urges
for the pleasure it brings
titillating tortures
tingle my tastebuds
abnormal cravings?? as some
crave cornstarch and mud
but my pica is not for
glass or clay
strange... but i want
to eat the day
seize every moment
under the sun
if the sky did fall
i would just stick out my tongue
and chew on fluffy clouds
like its bubble gum
climb a stairway to heaven
joyously, rung by rung
i want to consume the sky
feel it slide down my throat...

Lady Sings the Blues
her vocals weep
passion her soul seeps
many mountains she's climbed
tho they were steep
she sings of her woes
in lyrical prose
every word composed
she intimately knows
angst and hurt piercing
each note that crescendo
as hope for better
lingers in the tempo
she wades in waters
of neglected wishes
her tears tell a tale of
failed dreams and near misses
all drowned in the steady pound
banging beat of the percussion
as her heart sings of struggle
sorrow and repercussions
draped in elegant...

Swallow or Spit ( freaky friday freestyle)
picky... i am, when it comes to my brew
cause, not just any ole liquid will do
swirled around in my mouth to savor the taste
and let not a single drop go to waste
i have an insatiable urge to swallow words
to comprehend, and truly digest verbs
i yearn to learn things unknown
mmmm that's my spot, my pleasure zone
didactic climatic words that furrow my brow
and leave me in awed amazement saying 'Wow!
syllables of sustenance,that fascinate
sentences so soulfelt my spirit levitate
escapes,ascends distance time and space
its like calgon taking me...
