The Uncarved Block
What is the uncarved block
But a simple metaphor on life
So much potential to be realized,
yet the block remains - uncarved
Those who see beyond the block
Now face the chain limiting us
For it is not about the strength of the chain
Or its weakest link
It's that there is even a chain
This chain takes our dreams
And wraps them with atrophy and self doubt
With each link representing a limitation
We have created for ourselves.
We are all the uncarved block ...
But a simple metaphor on life
So much potential to be realized,
yet the block remains - uncarved
Those who see beyond the block
Now face the chain limiting us
For it is not about the strength of the chain
Or its weakest link
It's that there is even a chain
This chain takes our dreams
And wraps them with atrophy and self doubt
With each link representing a limitation
We have created for ourselves.
We are all the uncarved block ...

70's porn movies
When the imbeciles disembark
on the avenues of the favela
where we try to put up with each other,
all the dockers and all the bitches
on the docks and all the saints
of the last church...
Everyone, absolutely all the imbeciles
remain silent waiting
for the great cosmic revolution.
There are police movements
in all the dead ends
of that first world country.
Dead nuns, old doors and cats,
screaming on every
motherfucking rooftop.

Fireflies in jars
I don't want fireflies in jars
to entertain me for hours;
beautifying my night
with their sparkling light,
Dispelling darkness for me
while their souls aren't free;
bringing in magical dreams
through their soft soothing beams.
These pretty luminous things
are meant to measure world
with their wings...
to entertain me for hours;
beautifying my night
with their sparkling light,
Dispelling darkness for me
while their souls aren't free;
bringing in magical dreams
through their soft soothing beams.
These pretty luminous things
are meant to measure world
with their wings...

Tell me
how did it feel?
when you stood there
out on the reels
looking down
from the building
did night
lean
apologetic
against you?
Sometimes I bleed
unfinished letters
my pencil hesitant
opening into acceptance
revealing how
he must have landed in my heart chamber
when he jumped from the 14th floor
I incubated lavender in each splinter
knowing it is his birthday soon
and once again I remember
how his chestnut hair ...

Reality Vs Religious Doctrines
Reality is in fact the best teacher for mankind and not religious doctrines.
The things that people say and write cannot teach as well as reality.
No matter what you hear, read, and think, you must pay attention to reality.
You should always reject any teaching that is not consistent with reality.
According to the bible, the superior authorities have been established by God.
Did God really have something to do with the inception of human government?
Reality shows the falsity in the age-old religious belief that has mislead many people.

Cinnamon Tasting
Come in
Shut the fuck up
You see this body
My body
You have five hours
Do your best
Do your worst
You need more motivation
Get inside
I’m not a good girl
I’m bad
bad to the bone
Skin firm and the color
Of cappuccino
This is grown woman love
Those young girls cant
Touch what I was blessed with
You been calling me none stop
Wanting this pussy right here
I blessed it with cinnamon
Wanting your mouth to take it all in
There is no filter on these lips
Or these...

Moonlight’s Beam
During the silence of the night,
Where stars above do softly stream,
In dreams, we find our hearts alight,
Reflecting love's eternal beam.
The moon, a silent sentinel,
Casts shadows where our whispers stream,
During the silence of the night,
Where stars above do softly beam.
Though time may march and take its flight,
And life may change like a swift stream,
Our souls will dance in pale moonlight,
With hopes that reach beyond extreme.
During the silence of the night,
Our love's more than a fleeting...
Where stars above do softly stream,
In dreams, we find our hearts alight,
Reflecting love's eternal beam.
The moon, a silent sentinel,
Casts shadows where our whispers stream,
During the silence of the night,
Where stars above do softly beam.
Though time may march and take its flight,
And life may change like a swift stream,
Our souls will dance in pale moonlight,
With hopes that reach beyond extreme.
During the silence of the night,
Our love's more than a fleeting...

Banksy brushed my canvas
The world waits, half in anticipation
the public like me wonder?
while others empty their aerosol cans
in futile tags. Banksy waits in the wings to pounce
lifts the corner of the carpet where the dirt is swept.
The message: it pricks, lifts the lid on the squirming worms
starts the awkward and difficult dialouge.
A teacher, his art said a thousand truthes
held the mirror to our narssasistic life style
I pause a second, the art on a grubby wall
is it the reflection of my identity, my life
profiled, exposed? by that anonymous talent.

~journaling the micro mosaics of One’s interstellar journey
like the spread open
tiny citrussy vesicular
succulences.. afloat
they are.. the plasmic sacs..
as aerial liquescing
mosaics, in a blinding
bright lighted up
efflorescence..
[just when, rings aloud
the palindromic drums
11:11.. as quadrupling
Ones.. ever feels them
as the foundational
gargantuan pillars.. of
anything & everything
(they say, at least four
needs to be around.. for
a seamless carriage, of
one’s coffin.. in some
palanquin dignity.. as...
