Growing Grass
crumbling clay corridors
halls align with skin
as i shed old flesh
and embrace this new skin i'm in
new ways of thinking
eyes to the sky
once i was a caterpillar
but now i can fly
no more crawling on the ground
gonna give these wings a try
higher than i ever been
heaven's in my eye
on the other side of neverland
cause i never been here before
but i'm no longer afraid
to walk thru that door
finally stepping aside
out of my own way
cleared away all debris
that blocked the pathway
no longer doubtful...growing
so...

A Rumble in the Jungle *** colab with Poetikmind
Hey there Tarzan :) let me ask you something
you're pretty handy with that vine...mind if i i take a swing
see, word around the jungle is that you're the king
intelligent and fearless among other things
a sexy savage who knows how to treat a lady like a queen
strong and mighty,with just the right amount of sweetening
so when you caught my eye i had to look twice
cause i like my naughty served with a side of nice
i got you in my sights and i'm good with my aim
my name is desire ,but baby you can call me Jane
a poetic assassin who's lyrically insane
i...

the definition of the definition
I can think of no better way to say it
than to actually display it
no crossed signals ,no misconceptions
erase all possibility of deception
with actions staring me right in the 3ye
and swear to tell the truth,as they testify
just cause,cause they are just so justified
no judgements cause actions ain't never lied
Oh a double negative...a no no shaking my head from side to side
Or purely awed disbelief,wowed when the truth is tried
and get away scot-free,clean on the other side
beyond a preponderance,a clear case of homicide...

Idle Hands
acres and acres for miles and miles
poverty and dispair fills the eyes
what was once fertile now lay in ruins
but greed was these fields undoing
the scarecrow is standing guard day and night
to make sure not a single morsel leave his sight
while starving souls beg for a taste
seems a cruel disgrace to let it all go to waste
had scarecrow shared it willingly
this would seem far less a tragedy
But the crow did no work, so why should it eat?
take take take for today,but what about next week?
had the crow contributed to its very cause
there...

Well ,Shiver Me Timbers!!!
"anchors away"
the oceans bow before you
endocrine ripples
tides to indoctrinate you
the chosen one
a noble vessel
to sink into my sighs
and joyously revel
drifting on a sea
of endless emotions
sailing sacred waters
of the deepest devotion
on a quest for atlantis
a tepid bath of lucidity
while swimming in Eve's Bayou
of hidden VIRTUosity
these mystifying waters
are the healing kind
sensual sea of tranquility
to soothe the savage mind
in search of nirvana, euphoric peace...

Shadow's Magnum Opus
stuck in the muck,the muddy mire
chained to a coffin,lit on fire
by hellish winds that never tire
she drinks the sweat hellhounds perspire
unquenched,yet drenched in salty tears
of the buried hope in wasted years
she walks away despite the fears
inadequacy whispers in her ears
she's pains best friend,this trauma queen
a glutton for punishment so it seems
deceived by things she thought would gleam
oh love "the precious" shining ring
around her collar, like a noose
the choking kind,yes bitter truths
that have...

the Dust Storm**
Dust
Dirt
Soil
Soul of the earth
I have been around
since this world's birth
Under Mother Nature's watchful eye
I am always protected
She sends the rain to quench my thirst
and makes sure i'm not neglected
Saturated by tears from heaven
that's how i make things grow
Instinctively I soak it up
till I bust in overflow
Dear Mother then brings warm sunshine
making me firm beneath your feet
Without me you would have no shelter
nor any food to eat
You would have no air to breathe...

Bee-lieve It or Not*** a soulful sunday freestyle
my pen possess persuasive powers
making thoughts rain like showers
can stretch seconds into hours
time spent daydreaming of my flower
and it's intoxicating intense incense
aroma of allure in all its essence
hypnotizing sweet scent of Jasmynn
a potent powerful hallucinogen
see how your lips curl into a sly grin
when what i'm saying slowly sinks in
and subtle images start flashin`
erecting thoughts :) of skin on skin
i am the naughty notions
the little voice inside your head
the urge that makes you touch yourself
as...

Dream Ride
Knew you were the one, when i first saw you,the very best out of the whole lot
specially designed with me in mind, all the amenities I want you got
candy paint,shiny wheels,and more importantly a custom made interior
my dream ride so next to you all others seem inferior
that new car scent,like kush and cologne :) mmm you're always smelling good
strong,dependable engine,with major horsepower under the hood
very trustworthy,a sound investment,well worth the maintenance and cost
take care of you,and you'll be there for me,with built...

query and quarks
what irks me most is the mundane
day after day of the ole same thing
we wake to work,with worry and bills
just trying to make it,but struggling still
it's so easy for living to lose it appeal
no zest for new quests, total lack of zeal
BUT i could never get accustomed to
NOT discovering something new
that moment of excited thrill
senses alert with a lively feel
it is built into our anatomy
endorphines released by curiosity
inquisitive by design,mavens of questioning
see.. man(kind) seeks the knowledge of things...

Chiseling a Mortise
rapt in sleek lines
covered by wandering mist
soft and silky
strong and swift
sweep me,gingerly
off my feet
to weak to speak
tangled in the sheets
i wanna float in the air
unsettled, like fine dust
as you dig, excavating my smile
with a stone chisel and yucca brush
grind me into an elixir of stardust
hips stirred, like emotions,that emits a glow
eclectic energies that illuminate
putting to shame any fireworks show
eyes closed as the world around us
every molecule swirl and zoom ...
