Angels
denying my pleasures of the flesh that I have oft indulged in
because I am reminded of my purpose yet again
on which I first embarked on with a vow
the men awaken me with truth
what's up man did you come just for the sex, drugs and rock n rolll
do you even really remember us yet?
shame fills my being and I remember our promise to each other
cursing at my guard while imprisoned I vowed
I would get even for this
admitting my fears I rise
beaten down while in confinement
and questioned night and day until my release
...

Brothers In Bond
entertaining the powers that be
they come to me to see what I'm made of
groaning from growing pains in the immortal sense
they won't pass me if I'm not up to snuff
exposing me to all kinds of trials
my witchiness must be sharp
a warrioress of the way
mock wars to ready one for the eventual
the man Himself says it's coming
preparing me he says it must be instinct like drawing a breath
no questions in the moment, respond
a weapon sure and deadly his people ready
we will take our opponent down
He has not revealed...

Thank You
I want to thank you for raising me.
I know you could have pushed me to the side,
And did things like all the other kids did.
I want to thank you for practicing wrestling moves on me.
It taught me how to defend myself.
That's why the streets didn't conquer me.
I want to thank you stepping in and taking moms place,
When I was scared and had nightmares.
You were always there to fight off my demons.
I want to thank you for teaching me,
How to open our hidden Christmas presents,
And wrapping them back up, ...

Another Interpretation
Esau and Jacob were twin brothers, according to the scripture.
The account suggests that these two men did not have a good relationship.
We must have a realistic view of the situation to understand it.
Esau went to work in the field, and Jacob stayed home and cooked a meal.
When Esau went back home, he was exhausted and hungry.
Jacob could have offered his brother a free serving of the pottage.
A kind person would have done that for his or her sibling or even a stranger.
Esau had a weakness; he did not seriously consider spiritual matters.
Jacob...

Raphium Series~Brother
Little rebellion inside my soul
hoping to escape my troubles
Worrying the sky
his blue is tormented
Child of the day swims sideways
there is a cap on the air
I am grounded
So moving left to right
travel the winds
Finding the desert jubilation
and like a colt run free
expending energies too painful
Seeking sanctuary
immortal honesties
are too dreadful for me
Sympathy for the devil surely
understanding of the creator?...perhaps
Anger rushes through my veins ...
hoping to escape my troubles

expending energies too painful

What She Had Done On The Last Day Of Summer
Xander saw Lindsay
splashing in the water and
smiling at her own
brother who was standing on
the beach and waiting for her.

two brothers
(opposition disposition)
“Together, [they] form a necessary paradox;
not a senseless contradiction.”―Criss Jami, Healology
one is a priest,
the other is a pest;
him, too, a beast.
his sibling does his best,
sending the light,
where brother casts a plight;
the one engaged,
the other man enraged.
one is a friend,
the other full of ire;
him, too, a fiend,
his sib the world’s desire.
one shifts the blame,
his brother takes the hurt;
one mends the lame,
the other rends the heart.

Brother
A figure standing next to me
A man of 6,6 tall
A quiet soul of whom I love
To him, I owe it all
He watched me grow
From none to now
And never let me fall
The odd one out
In a sea of liars
We grew up, hand in hand
And I’ll never forget
His genuine smile
On a pedestal, he stands.
To him, I thank
For who I am
And all that I could be
Because what is life
Without a soul
As loving, or as free,
As he.
A man of 6,6 tall
A quiet soul of whom I love
To him, I owe it all
He watched me grow
From none to now
And never let me fall
The odd one out
In a sea of liars
We grew up, hand in hand
And I’ll never forget
His genuine smile
On a pedestal, he stands.
To him, I thank
For who I am
And all that I could be
Because what is life
Without a soul
As loving, or as free,
As he.

He's Not Like This All the Time
I love you.
You're an asphyxiant
Because, your heart, what's left is crumbs.
Imaging a picture perfect person.
Your eyes, the windows to the soul,
Through my lens, pre-post
All I see is red
You're an asphyxiant
Because, your heart, what's left is crumbs.
Imaging a picture perfect person.
Your eyes, the windows to the soul,
Through my lens, pre-post
All I see is red

solo, so low
you want to test me
I get it
I get it
I get it
how fucking long?
I know what's at stake
I stake my lack of reputation on that
it hurts really
I'm out there I see some of you are too
attack me, come out and do it
but I ask why we are kicking each other's asses
divide and conquer
that's what he would do, you know me
I am uniting
you underestimate the disturbed ones
you think I couldn't I connected to them
purified and pushed through
I am...

hey, hey dude can we talk openly
I know people get pissed at me because I always favored you
it's not right maybe, but I'm not an actor
I have to be myself
when will I see you again?
brotherhood, sisterhood, cousins, Time Infinite
you still got room on the block for me?
I miss you, man
I can't lie

it hurts me
you want to beat me down brotherfucker?
I am here in lockup
I never talked
interrogation
yeah deja vu
I'm spinning in the energy
our kids are fine
