Poet Introduction
Aloha family. My name is Ezriyah born Derrick Albert. I am a bit of a rolling stone and have decided to intentionally get more intimate with my life journey on this earth and express myself from the safe place that has been my poetry.

Balancing Acts
Balancing acts between reality and fantasy
Living upon the pivot
Coming to loving from livid
I sleep and enter dream states
Crossing the borders of my yoga matrice
On the edge of an unordered practice
My pillow was a corked yoga block
Although it is as hard as a rock
It once belong to my mother...
The only thing of hers
that I had space to bring back with me to Hawaii
after she died
On this same block I cried
It kept my heart soft
As my external solidified
hard as the trunk of a tree that felt fruitless ...

Me and Mother
I took a boat trip by myself
Seems I had put it off for years.
I thanked the wind that touched my eyes to help me finally shed these tears.
I let them walk down my face without a fight
As the sunset over the islands
And transitioned into night.
Recollections of how..
I gave chase to other women to replace her comfort.
Seeking approval by trying to please,
Chasing a dream by any means...
I gave time to other women to replace her glances...
Looking deep in their abyss,
so intense so i don't miss...
I let the humanity she...

Waimea Canyon
Waimea Canyon
one of my favorite things about solitude in nature…
where I lose track of the paradigms of separation...and remember what I love about witnessing creation and I ponder as above so below... and allow my perspective and yours the space to be what it is as if I could have ever done otherwise...in gratitude and love...shadow and shalom...frantic and calm...sharing my own song that I wrote to the rhythm of these crickets and the wind in the cain grass on top of a rental with out a pad or a pencil...just my mental to keep tempo...feeling like ... my Daddy said...

Burial 051617...
Burial 051617..
Culmination of thoughts due to deaths last year
This morning I acknowledged and embraced
Instead of suppressing my fears
I had this Convo..With a Mantra
The venom was black mamba
Intended to free Chakras
And live beyond the Imposter
My Shadow is a bona*fide monster
And by any means He has these needs
To take control longer....
He’s afraid that he will never know love
Cause he sees through those who manipulate trust...
I’d sing to him...But my throat had been stuck...
It closed up when me and HipHop had...

Foot Steps On A Path (Ch.14 Ede-lane)
I HAVE PLACED FOOT STEPS ON A PATH,
THE SCENERY MAKES MY ENTIRE BEING SHINE WITH HAPPINESS.
I RESONATE WITH
INNUMERABLE WAVES OF
ECSTASY AND PLEASURE.
MY BREATH CONTROL NOT YET MASTERED
AND I
STILL EXPERIENCE PEAKS OF WONDER
THERE IS A CONNECTION
IMPERCEPTIVE TO MANY,
YET
ULTRA-TANGIBLE TO MY FAVORITE CO-AUTHOR.
WE CLIMB THE LADDER OF BLISS
TO HEIGHTS UNCHARTED.
WE SPEAK SILENTLY
AND THE CONNECTION IS DEEP.
MY SPIRIT SENDS PRAYERS FOR PROTECTION YOUR WAY.
I LOVE...
