9 – Love Added
How love has survived
through ages of time
no matter how much
surrounded by terrible decline
it’s always found on some incline!
An ever replenishing force
that makes people change
apparent as roads with forks
cultivate a solid resource
detour onto a deteriorating course.
Makes the silver spoons relinquish their savings
and a poor man give his heart
I wonder…
Where did love start ?
Was it truly given to us?
the cost of love always seems so high
strong & everlasting
example for the test of time.
Love makes the imperiled – just fine
the lonely – complete
the downtrodden – uplifted
an extrovert – discrete.
Changes composure
stills the irregular heartbeat
blurs your vision
sends you reeling
blinding speeds
indeed.
Love is something every human needs…
Added to their existence
a part of their life
maybe it would equate
to what a piece of heaven feels like…

Everyone needs a little love in their live. Some of us can be so hard on ourselves, on others and on the world. We all have a soft spot hidden somewhere.
As Always…

0 – Confines
Travel by
travel pass
travel fast
spewing fumes, oil and gas
tons of metal
plastic and glass
each one sharing
but individually
on its own path
I should be glad
one less notion to bother me
taking one
the choice of one
would pick and choose opportunity
apply to life
vibrant chrome, different colors and shapes
to dream
adore, ride
praise on
somewhere else
I should be
distance…
travels could take me
I can hear the roar of the day
the temp of the dawn
filled with cold blood
pig and cow skin
to bash upon
Self renaissance
is the only mission
I begin to fathom
strong-willed
so i`m up and at them
stubborn
so radiation
is the only thing
certain to change
gray matter atoms
in motion
staying in motion
but idle
robotic arm
orbit to a set circle
I’m set to boundaries
set to a certain me
using escapes to help refine…
redefine me
using the words
to illustrate the galaxy
fluency
data and info process
combine make up the
mundane of me
checks & balances
praying my present
doesn’t overcome me…

Somewhere in this clutter I call my life I hope to find what I’m searching and fighting for. Locked in my head yet I’m looking for the escape of reality. I am not dreaming; I am attempting to live…

5 – Second Time
after rest
blackout break
coming back in
I can’t see your face
the image of content
still wrapped
glimpse, make out movement
energy…
part of you wanting me
take my position
places pose
attain comfort
in linen cushion spring
looking up and close my lids
the still
silence silencing
system converting
to stand by…
suspend
with no restart
wait…
tingling, rising, tickling
smoothly putting points
sticking needles to my skin
lovers fingers or tongue
finding me
beckoning my attention
attempt position
pull closer
on top
peel and seek
rescue from ornate trappings
find, collect, leverage
unite, insight, compress…
release
two become one
motion to friction
verbs, whispering diction
breathing and muffled sounds
heart vessels
veins abound
spilling while losing…
bodies run aground

0 – Definition Of My Passion
I use a poem;
“A literary composition written with an intensity or beauty of language”
To seduce;
“entice into a desired state or position”
so you can be a part of and appreciate the love;
“A feeling of intense desire and attraction…the emotion of sex and romance”.
I have for art of romance;
“Ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people”
So that you can apply the same passion in your life.
“The physical, mental, and spiritual experiences that constitute existence”.
0 – Thinking Clearly Ahead
I close my eyes…
I breathe out…
I clear my thoughts.
Or at least I think I do.
Tormenting thoughts.
Creep slow.
I feel them gearing to get the best of me…
I play music in my background…
Undertaking to drain the devilish deducing…
They are beckoning me.
So loudly calling me…
Testing me…
Taunting me to lose my cool.
To yell and scream back at the bullshit.
The obstacles and adversaries.
How? Why?
Questions I ask on a daily regimen…
Is it worth the object which I pretend.
I need an ear…
I hope someone can lend…
I laugh at how.
I only take up this pen…
When I feel so close to reaching my rope’s end.
I focus…
I am in an attempt to leave all the negative…
Here on this page…
Take this life built cage…
To transform it into a catapulting stage…

0 – Your & My Ability
Funnel through me… purpose of my expected lifetime
slow through me… sometimes deny my bloodline
have to wait…
Finding me… comes in due time
soft inside, hardened outside
imploding, bleed and sell my soul
Melt… infuse myself like coal
getting old… found, shared and told
bought and sold, packed and shipped
Loved and forbidden… personal canvas
to paint my hidden
shears of life snip… cut my movie clip
whatsoever they reel at me…
no matter what they throw in front of me…
I won`t let it begin… To start stopping me
Make me slip, apply weight to my shoulder chip
can anyone tell me… what type of life is this?
it’s either escalator or pushed off cliff
Exciting progression downtrodden depressing
between is limbo… either don’t or do
when it comes down to it … only you
Trenching inside…
can find the ability to help you…

It’s so many times in life where we feel “beat up” and as if we can’t go on. This train of thought was derived from digging deep and overcoming any situation you have been placed in.

I miss you…
Wherever you are
Attempting to find the words
That would bring me to you
I’m lost in my thoughts
It’s simple… what could i do?
To let you know…
I miss you…

2 – Our Journey
Trying in the eyes of others.
Make them see what could have been
we work together.
How we can surpass the end
what are the parts of me,
that are transformative for you….
that pop up like an allochthon,
misplaced yet always leaves a mark.
Parts that are hurting us
yet growing me
Open mind open time
Plural or singular you are always mine
more will come with time

3 – So It Begins
So it begins…
HER:
The sun comes up, the world expands
As the sky brightens my path starts to dim.
There is no rhyme no reason
My chest tightens as I breathe in
I can’t.
My thoughts stop
I can’t do
My heart knocks
I can’t do this.
So it begins…
HIM:
Moon rises – Sun falls
Our world remains expanded
Even though you can walk in darkness
Light will always shine through
Build with what you have
Grow from within
You can do this
The goal is to do it again

5 – Inspector #9
I don’t carry a clipboard, pen or badge
self-appointed;
if it’s a career one can have
when I go in,
in-between the fence and doors
they let me in, turning on all the lights
I do inspections during the day
but highly prefer at night
the handbook I lay faith in
always leads me to the bottom
after my initial prolonged look around look over
Looking into the cracks of the establishment
I go through all the meat
I inspect, glove and probe if need be
I search all the folds to insure its clean
I ask management how is landscaping procured
manicure checked
if utensils are washed after every rotation
simple data per inspection
I ask for samples and a self-evaluation
I like the business to show confidence
even in frustration
weird positions, odd jobs and the turn over rate
if I don’t like the answers
I possibly check back at a later date
I search for hot zones, check boiling points
services offered
what it looks for in a lucrative relationship
I ask for future goals and employee aspirations
as I do my inspection
I don’t see nothing wrong with a one way conversation
I like to focus on the task at hand
fill my hands…
mouth and nostril glands
looking for the essence
and where we both stand
I have a job to do and I do it as I am.

6 – Hmmmm
Lyric :
Look at this,
I’m on your wall
Kinda strung out flexing, bending
Wearing your body out
………I’m speechless
My body language
has said more than my mouth
…..conversation seems endless,
but we got much more to say,
debate, but wait
I barely know your name
Absentee :
You shouldn’t have had let it happen
any rough seas… I navigate like a captain
I’m whats happening!
You had one too many and I took “full” advantage
from now on, I know you’ll be back …
held captive
my words, my style, my swag, that’s all it took
but you knew that’s not all I had
my name… it was just a second
all you had ta do was ask
and now your all tapped out…
empty glass!!
Lyric :
Naw I played drunk
I’ve always been in control,
I knew what I wanted
When I saw the way that you strolled
Into the room,
I’ve no need for the name
But I’d like to sing its tune,
I could tell you had rhythm
just not like this,
Who could have imagined
This night would end in such a body kiss
Absentee :
Its aiight…
tryna say I was the fool
its aiight…
Ima take it in strides
cuz I’m just dat cool
body kiss, body hold, body lock…
I heard you say stop…
talking bout control
I didn’t stop…
so ya body had ta fold…
but I’ll admit it was good.
cuz u was just dat hot
and ya body was just dat “cold”
Lyric :
Realize this isn’t the start,
it was the end from we began
I lived for this moment
it’s so good, I can’t pretend
but this moment is just one
an urge or fiend overdue,
from this moment forth
I’ve no interest in seeing you
not breathe you, not feel you,
not want you, not need you,
you were that
“just gotta have”
urge, the moment my eyes held you,
we sweat, we kissed, we’ve done all so grand
we’ll now part, but to let you know
you were a great one night stand.!

On the floor
Permeate to the core
Back it up some more
Wave on me
sea shore
Turn around
grind some more
rinse repeat like before

“The things we do when others are not looking. Some call it “the true test of a man”. Mind bubbling behind eyes, low deaths to high highs. Thoughts cooking unseen. The thoughts we have even though innocent. Are absolutely unclean.”
9 – Rain On A Parade
As I sit…
as I watch
I reminisce of the pot
looking in and tasting hot
members move in transition
making him a part of the generation
worth elation
I sit,
step back
to see there is so much more
so much to look for
forward for
help me forget
what I see
is not what I get
this is dreaming…
alternate lifetimes, alternate lifespans
another reality
more for him than for me
we see the dance floor move
see the dresses twirl
see tears turn to smiles
we are here for a while
dried up make-up
stained dresses of satin
so much detail to the little things
they could file for a patent
still…
what is it I am here for
traveled so far for…
I don’t feel right…

The thoughts for this one came together as I was sitting at a wedding reception watching all the happenings go on . Relating it to my own life with a short time travel and coming back to the sights of the evening. In the midst of all the “happiness” I feed off…
