You Know What You Done
Verse 1)
The doctor gave me bad news, Lord, my time ain’t long.
But I stood tall in the shadow, tried to stay strong.
When I needed you the most, girl, you turned and ran.
Left me fightin' this demon with my bare hands.
(Chorus)
You know what you done, and it won’t wash clean.
A soul like yours, girl, it’s downright mean.
Left a dying man to battle alone,
May the devil take you down to his throne.
(Verse 2)
We had love like fire, so I thought it seemed.
But fire burns cold when the truth intervenes.
You packed your...

Until our next life together
The vows we spoke, a whispered plea,
Beneath the sun, beneath the tree.
A promise made, a love so true,
To journey life, me and you.
Through sunlit days and stormy nights,
We'll face the world, with all our might.
With gentle hands and loving eyes,
We'll share our joys, and dry our cries.
The years will pass, the seasons turn,
Our love a flame, that brightly burns.
Through laughter shared and tears we've shed,
Our hearts entwined, until we're dead.
Though time may take its weary toll,
Our love's a story,...
Beneath the sun, beneath the tree.
A promise made, a love so true,
To journey life, me and you.
Through sunlit days and stormy nights,
We'll face the world, with all our might.
With gentle hands and loving eyes,
We'll share our joys, and dry our cries.
The years will pass, the seasons turn,
Our love a flame, that brightly burns.
Through laughter shared and tears we've shed,
Our hearts entwined, until we're dead.
Though time may take its weary toll,
Our love's a story,...

unzipped lips
I'm still getting used to this
releasing thoughts freely & without pause
I let them blow
& the old me reaches up
tickling the back of my mind
are you sure you didn't just overstep?
but then I remember...
overstepping is how we get out of the box
& I'm tired of being crated & labeled
harmless
so I let 'er rip
giving voice to what's always been present
scratching like sandpaper of coarse grit
burning my imprisoning throat
begging to get out
I've always had a lot to say
just too...
releasing thoughts freely & without pause

Fascinating comparison
What a testament to my character
To be compared to a samurai
A modern day cavalier
With qualities to justify
What an honor to be perceived as such
I am humbled by this friend's words
They go straight to my heart they mean so much
I take it as a compliment
With gratitude, I accept this praise
And strive to live up to these noble ways
To embody the heart of a true warrior born
With loyalty and courage shining through
Respect and integrity, a badge of honor
Worn
Am I deserving of such flattering remarks from...

The Continuum of Ideal & Real Self. (for me)
I'm feeling more real as I am.
More real than I'v ever been.
A continuum, spectrum like exists.
Between the Ideal self & the real self.
A spectrum that were all on.
The Ideal self, is the person.
We think others want us to be.
Conforming to this image.
We collude with others to fit in.
What ever the cost.
The true self, not to others.
Rather to our true selves.
As nature meant us to be.
Every time we collude with others.
Our perspective...

for Pragya
As ephemeral December sweeps past me I wish September had stayed longer,
figments of your image are fading steadily in this frost of loneliness
Your voice has ceased to be mere recollection of embers, long extinguished.
Arshad

watch your six...
I'm not much
...at first glance
quiet
plain Jane
just a house mouse
past my youth
so they ignore me
look right past...
counting me out of the fight
...fools
let me tell you
what this disregarded observer sees
while they're overlooking little ol' me
knowledge is power...
so they stunt our education
making it easier to spoon feed the masses
lies they've disguised as reality
pap with no actual nutrients
the sheep will eat it up
& ask for seconds
they view diversity... ...

It will kill me...
I have never been wanted.
Not really.
Not in the way that stays when the night gets too quiet,
not in the way that doesn’t leave bruises,
not in the way that doesn’t make me question
if I was ever meant to be here at all.
I have been the almost, the mistake,
the afterthought in a crowded room.
Hands have reached for me,
but only when they needed something to hold,
only when they were searching for warmth
that wasn’t meant for me.
I have been told I was loved.
But love, as I have known it,
has always come with...

Troth!
"I promise to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me god!"
So how does this work?
If you don't have any god
Does that therefore
Leave the assumption
That you may not be telling the truth?
So if i tell the truth
Without the validation
Of having a god behind it
Am i therefore likely to be lying?
We encourage our children
To always speak the truth
And to be honest
"MUM! why's that man only got one leg!!!!2
So now, you have to teach your child
Diplomacy, and tact ...
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me god!"
So how does this work?

keepin' it movin'
I'll be honest
I don't know my full purpose
why I'm here
as fractured as a cracked egg
held together only by the tissues inside
but that's life...isn't it
an enigma tattooed in damage & stigmas
steps sometimes faltering
...others defiant
I don't know what tomorrow holds in its fist
only that it won't offer me an early glimpse
so I fumble...stumble...trundle along
one foot after the other
picking myself up when I'm beaten down
& limp off to try again
no...I don't know why I'm here
what I'm put on this...
I don't know my full purpose
why I'm here
as fractured as a cracked egg
held together only by the tissues inside
but that's life...isn't it

steps sometimes faltering

I don't know what tomorrow holds in its fist
only that it won't offer me an early glimpse

Peace x Piece
Hey baby,
i’m just trying to be your peace.
I know I can be wild sometimes,
I was never the one to accept
the collar or the leash.
I’d rather you be home
with me,
than out there
in them streets..
the ones that don’t care for you
but welcome you like it’s home
and i’m really just sitting here thinking
this is straight up off the dome..
i can be in a room full of people
yet i feel so alone
my vibrations are untethered
i’ll never ever put my best foot forward
for a motherfucker who...
