LEAVING THE CIRCLE
Round and round in the potter's wheel
I spin and spin and dizzy I feel
The family wanting me to fit their mold
Since very young, the days of old.
No regards that I am my own being
Just fit the mold and stop believing
That being your own person is suffice
To get by in the world where we reside.
For a great many years, they tried and tried
To get me to follow and abide.
A mold of me living in their tightly-squeezed box
While the real me buried under piles of rocks.
Training was no training at all ...
I spin and spin and dizzy I feel
The family wanting me to fit their mold
Since very young, the days of old.

For a great many years, they tried and tried
To get me to follow and abide.

Supernatural Cowboy Sleuth (1.2)
Marcus stood in an endless maze, surrounded by a thousand memories of Shelly. Each, a hologram reliving different moments they had shared together. He cautiously walked to the closest image on his left. It was a holo of the first day he had met Shelly. He saw a hologram of himself standing behind the pharmacy counter. He remembered the day well..

Marcus was five years younger, so recently employed by Dr. Phitzpatryk that his lab coat was still stiff with starch. He stood, back turned to his first customer, desperately searching for...

The clear, undisputed and R.H reasoning for not littering in Barbados (Poem)
By Stanley Collymore
That Cleanliness is next to Godliness is a cultural, spiritual and
hygienic mantra consciously, meticulously and assiduously
embedded in as well as purposely drilled into the psyche
of every one of us Bajans is an incontestable fact that
is beyond disputation. A vocation, so to speak, that
having been realized from birth, is willing carried
out during our growing up years as developing
children and teenagers, conscientiously there
afterwards forms a fundamental element of
our normal lives and established...

Tropical Hurricane

Hurricane's fuel
meteorologists are saying,
"the warm ocean water is the hurricane's fuel"
Can I put this "fuel" into my car and will it go?
That lousy explanation did not lead me to understanding.
So just start thinkin...
A bowl of water is heavier than a bowl of air.
A towel can get wet
A towel can get dry.
Air can get humid,
or it can be dry.
Is humid air heavier than dry air?
Welcome to my Science Lecture.

tetrachromatography
yah see now,
when you hear a violin note,
it can have a low pitch,
a little higher, a little higher,
now depending on how sensitive you're ears are,
you can put two notes side by side, and say,
well,
"I can tell that one note is a little lower than the other"
There may come a point that you cannot tell the difference,
depending on you're ears.
let us say,
you could split the tones up to a hundred (100) different tones.
Then on top of that,
lets say you could tell who had more volume.

Marry Me! (Poem)
By Stanley Collymore
I most readily and cheerfully confess to my having a
wholly uncontrollable urge to marry you, and ever
more so since I realized that the intense passion
you’ve managed to inevitably generate in me
is quite literally driving me crazy and, as a
manifest and robust consequence of this,
I’ve unmistakeably, unavoidably and
likewise, in every other conceivable
way, and not the slightest remiss
in dutifully tackling this matter
without unwarranted delay, I
am enraptured to say, have

THE ART OF WAR
THE ART OF WAR
ISAIAH 25:8
HE WILL SWALLOW UP DEATH IN VICTORY; AND THE LORD GOD WILL WIPE AWAY TEARS FROM OFF ALL FACES; AND THE REBUKE OF HIS PEOPLE SHALL HE TAKE AWAY FROM ALL THE EARTH: FOR THE LORD HATH SPOKEN IT.
RIBBONS AND TASSELS
I COME TO COMBAT YOU
WARRIORS IN ARMS
SHOOTER, MY HITTERS
FRONTLINE MEN AND GENERALS
WE ALL ARE MINISTERS TO THE POOR AND DOWNTRODDEN

The Season Is Coming, where will you be?
Once again the American sports fan parks it on the couch
or frequents a favorite watering hole
bets will be made, odds will be revealed
jerseys bought, copious amounts of fast food and beer
consumed
Dancing teams and cheer leaders will be organized
vendors with envious dexterity will trace up and down stands
throwing peanuts with accuracy that rival any pocket pass
tailgaters will smoke gigantic portions of animal flesh
and strangers will find a cause to rally behind
While my interest may gravitate to an occasional game

The Abyss
Words circulating expressing darkness , spouting flowers , frying corpses , lying in infatuation , mistaken by hearts errosion , death a contemplate , time and life no escape , words eating at a plate .
Do I really have strength to carry on , I really want to hang my coat up , leave my shoes aside , yet I lie , I lie. . life is a why. .
Life is a why. . why must I want to die. .
Goodbye to the torture I bolt on one's soul , no more treasure can I hold.
Growing old.
Burnt out , sandy eyes , fucking lunatic what a surprise.
Slut , whore , who is she.

The Love I Seek
This song was written just a few months after losing the great guy I have even known...my dad. Next month makes 4 years of him being gone. For years I have been wanting to put this to music & every attempt has failed. Maybe soon my dream will come try but for now just trying to keep his memory alive!
Having you by my side is what I truly miss
The Lord took you before I could give you one final kiss
My life will never again be the same
Truth be told that I only have myself to blame
I sit alone often and start to cry
Often...
Having you by my side is what I truly miss
The Lord took you before I could give you one final kiss
My life will never again be the same
