Tattoo novel
Make it your own. Love it. Share it. Wear it. Like a tattoo novel. Let it be a record of a life lived. Till death dulls soul to soil and continue.

To The Lil Lady, Pops and Uncle Jay
For those that care
I apologize
For the tears
For the cries
For the burdens added to your lives
I appreciate the time you spent
Sharing and caring
It never went to waste
Had it not been for your loving generosity
I’d had laid my life to rest much sooner
It is said that behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining
I hope this is true so that there by Gods grace I might be shining
As I bring this to an end
I pray dear Lord forgive me this mortal sin
I apologize
For the tears
For the cries
For the burdens added to your lives
I appreciate the time you spent
Sharing and caring
It never went to waste
Had it not been for your loving generosity
I’d had laid my life to rest much sooner
It is said that behind every dark cloud there is a silver lining
I hope this is true so that there by Gods grace I might be shining
As I bring this to an end
I pray dear Lord forgive me this mortal sin

Eyes Water (2nd)
Pains Press bloat burdens
Silhouette shadow hemorrhage hues black and blue
Defenses drain, desires drawn, as sorrows spring
Senses swell and worry wells saline sentiment
Faculties filled, tears team
Released flow Free
Boundless
Charging cheek, rippling round dimples dent
Landing on languished lips
Lavished by the tongue savored by the soul
Silhouette shadow hemorrhage hues black and blue
Defenses drain, desires drawn, as sorrows spring
Senses swell and worry wells saline sentiment
Faculties filled, tears team
Released flow Free
Boundless
Charging cheek, rippling round dimples dent
Landing on languished lips
Lavished by the tongue savored by the soul

Never ever nothing
I live not
I will live
Alive
I am
I live
When I have lived
When I have been
Living will cease
Life will cease
Memories will be
My unique center
My Infinite and eternal
Essence of being
Forever me
I will live
Alive
I am
I live
When I have lived
When I have been
Living will cease
Life will cease
Memories will be
My unique center
My Infinite and eternal
Essence of being
Forever me

Among you
Among the world
I dare not share
All the anger and despair
Here in my snare
Fallen in a pit
Mouth agape
I let no cry escape
Entreat none I meet
I smile and greet
Guiding all amiss
Alone I retreat
In my personal abyss
I dare not share
All the anger and despair
Here in my snare
Fallen in a pit
Mouth agape
I let no cry escape
Entreat none I meet
I smile and greet
Guiding all amiss
Alone I retreat
In my personal abyss

Love will find you
In the stillness of a hearts’ thump, a lumps’ swallow
When you’re down, When no ones around,
Sorry to be alone, Sorry to be alive,
Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere
Where do you turn? Where are you found?
Need someone there, need someone to care,
Seek out a touch, seek out a hand
Love will find you
No face, no mouth, nor arms,
You will recognize when it appears,
Hear its whisper in your ears,
Feel its embrace, fills the empty space.
To carry on, to pass on,
Words cannot articulate
The many ways
Love will find you
When you’re down, When no ones around,
Sorry to be alone, Sorry to be alive,
Somewhere, in the middle of nowhere
Where do you turn? Where are you found?
Need someone there, need someone to care,
Seek out a touch, seek out a hand
Love will find you
No face, no mouth, nor arms,
You will recognize when it appears,
Hear its whisper in your ears,
Feel its embrace, fills the empty space.
To carry on, to pass on,
Words cannot articulate
The many ways
Love will find you

Everything is ok
Oh
Wow
Today is the day,
Waking up feels great
Suns’ heat warms gentle breezes
Tracing my skin with tender loving fingers
Each step softened by clouds stolen from sky above
Flying high
Vantage point of birds and gods
I see for a mile and eternity
Today is the day
Everything is okay
Wow
Today is the day,
Waking up feels great
Suns’ heat warms gentle breezes
Tracing my skin with tender loving fingers
Each step softened by clouds stolen from sky above

Vantage point of birds and gods
I see for a mile and eternity
Today is the day
Everything is okay

Reflections
Presence
Exist in the midst of future and past
Where symmetrical transformation
Bend their reflections
Back upon themselves
In the looking glass
Exist in the midst of future and past
Where symmetrical transformation
Bend their reflections
Back upon themselves
In the looking glass

...
What I love best is dancing
In a dark room with laser light
The ecstatic surge that takes my body over.
The thump of the beat, of the heart, of my feet
Soulful samples, Sending shivers stepping
Step step step, switch it up
Hip hop jump,
Slide to the side, now to the other
Catch a breath, Start all over
Shout, Sweat it all out
Groove and grind, till mornings light
As the sound sets, at sunrise
The doors opening end the night in day
Sun and cool air rush in
Lucky I brought shades for the rays
In a dark room with laser light
The ecstatic surge that takes my body over.
The thump of the beat, of the heart, of my feet
Soulful samples, Sending shivers stepping
Step step step, switch it up
Hip hop jump,
Slide to the side, now to the other
Catch a breath, Start all over
Shout, Sweat it all out
Groove and grind, till mornings light
As the sound sets, at sunrise
The doors opening end the night in day
Sun and cool air rush in
Lucky I brought shades for the rays

New Life
Voluminous Vistas come into view
As sunrise chased clouds away
Bringing forth brighter days
And nights twinkling starry rays
Suspicion
Supplanted by Trust
Strife
Gone way of Harmony
Tears
Fill clouds of Joy
Relief
Restitute of Grief
Cheerfulness
Chuckles away old Misery
Depression
Driven to Recession
Frown
Flipped upside down to Glimmering Grin
Bluebirds’ Bebop ballads
Make faint sounds of yesterdays
Crow caws irksome Squawks
As sun sets on the New Day
In...
As sunrise chased clouds away
Bringing forth brighter days
And nights twinkling starry rays
Suspicion
Supplanted by Trust
Strife
Gone way of Harmony
Tears
Fill clouds of Joy
Relief
Restitute of Grief

Chuckles away old Misery
Depression
Driven to Recession
Frown
Flipped upside down to Glimmering Grin
Bluebirds’ Bebop ballads

Breath exhaled
Breath exhaled, expelled, extinguished
Light sparked, swelled, diminished
Sounds crescendo, then muffle silent
Tensed taut cadaver contorted
Releasing soul, it had aborted
Sensations swell, aspirated
As I rose above my body
Traveled through a hollow passage
To the other side…
Light sparked, swelled, diminished
Sounds crescendo, then muffle silent
Tensed taut cadaver contorted
Releasing soul, it had aborted
Sensations swell, aspirated
As I rose above my body
Traveled through a hollow passage
To the other side…

Hindsight
Their paths not to unite
Love they could have cultivated
Withered like a plant
Born to the night
Moment in time
Binding them apart
Forever finished
Before it began
Nothing to miss
Except all it could have been
Love they could have cultivated
Withered like a plant
Born to the night
Moment in time
Binding them apart
Forever finished
Before it began
Nothing to miss
Except all it could have been
