Affirmations
Dreams fill your nights with all secrets you hide.
The ghosts that wander through your mind.
Whispers of your past you hear in the dark.
People that touched deepest corners of your heart.
A place where you let your thoughts roam free.
Scars you carry that no one else can see.
Things you loved so fiercely it left you in ruins.
Songs you sing when the world is not in tune.
Fears keep you awake when the night is still.
No moments of joy make your heart truly thrill.
Someone you ever felt a connection so profound. ...
The ghosts that wander through your mind.
Whispers of your past you hear in the dark.
People that touched deepest corners of your heart.

Penny Problems
Penny problems today can add up to big dollar shit
From bills, child support and fuckery because no time soon it will quit,
“Motherfuckas want their money now-that I won’t have tomorrow
So they need to get off my dick, unless they gonna swallow,
“And the women I contributed raw nut and got pregnant
Who Olympic ran to the man-now I’m paying for a child like it was rent,
“On a Zoom call listening to ho’-ass prosecutors and a judge
Understand, the child will get it all, but the bitch gets no mo’ love,
“Now bullshit can...

The Beauty of the Mystery
They just laughed and said ‘what use little rhymes in the face of cold dust erupting,
What will your words achieve when our machines blister skin’?
‘Nothing’, I say, ‘nothing will be achieved if you’re taking domination as your measure.
All I can do is hold on to the beauty of the mystery.’
‘Look at you, an empty container, grasping and gasping, as the beast finds its feet,
How will holding hands advance the project we’ll soon complete?’
‘It won’t’, I say, ‘but some things trip monsters even when they stomp,
That’s how we reach for the mystery of the...

I've Never Met Anyone Like You
Alia Lynch follows the school shooter into the bathroom. They haven't striked yet, but they will. She sees the suspicious bags they threw on the floor, but she's able to have eye contact with them washing their hands.
Now, she's entering. Entering inside their minds. All the lies they've been told, about how they were a monster and nothing more. Princess Alia defeats the monsters inside the girl's brain and clears her head and heals her forever.
Because Alia cares enough to not just save the hero but the potential villain.
The girl drops to the ground in...

What Would You Bring To Your Table This Holiday
Come and dine at the offering bestowed from my table
Sweet words softly given sweeter than the taste of maple soothing elements to the mind ordained from birth past the first steps of the cradle
The offering unto your palate from centuries ago told
Close your eyes as my incantations from the seventh dimension of time have spiritually caressed and physically consoled
Dwelling in the dominion in the hues of midnight
Baring the burdensome credence of me, myself and I, walking the naked journey as you give authority to the...

Trodden Paths Not In Vain
"Paint in silence”
“The Weight of Temp”
Colour your canvas and spill your Art
shake and awaken many a heart
Untether your soul
from your whole
escape mundane and time
and let your brush rhyme
Have Man radiate
pour oil colours on his trait
Carve his seized dreams
and his insight of flowing streams
Let me read his cry of birth
and see the drops of tears on earth
A valiant core, the shell is worn
could not be broken, though torn
You display a challenging stand
behind a back forced to bend ...
“The Weight of Temp”
Colour your canvas and spill your Art
shake and awaken many a heart
Untether your soul
from your whole
escape mundane and time
and let your brush rhyme
Have Man radiate
pour oil colours on his trait

and his insight of flowing streams
Let me read his cry of birth
and see the drops of tears on earth
A valiant core, the shell is worn
could not be broken, though torn

if I could at will-I'd escape into a better realm
unlike edits and corrections on a literal writing piece; life experiences are like overlapping graffiti stains that's made its mark upon ones' psyche;
scrubbing those walls could feel like centuries-though it doesn't take away ones' memories; that's why I absolutely understand what it means to subconsciously browse the archives- then a drink is what one needs....
do we have freewill? yes. but this "matrix" does deceive; so do we really? they say the "devil's in the details"- life's portrait's...

Have You Smiled Or Even Laughed Today
Naked reflection mirrors the truth of one’s soul. It’s the pivotal time in your life when you stop, turn around, and glance upon the necessities you have taken to bring the presence of the soul to such a point in time.
I have been blessed to have enclosed the aura of my being with great minded people alike, and associates of greater affluence and keen intellect, but is this all my essence, what my creed stands for, shouldn’t there be more to me, if all possible, on this green earth.
I am finally realizing materialistic gains is boundless, and it does not...

Lets pause the news and talk about the good shit for a moment.
because stepping out
of the shower with a
warm towel is good
receiving fresh bread
soft and warm out
of the oven is good,
those early morning
walks watching the
sun slowly rise up to
another day is good
and arriving home in
time for your favourite
TV show after a day
of hard grind is good,
a stranger helping you
pick up your belongings
off the floor is good
and can I get a hell yeah
for that pay day showing ...

Babel
Age of inhuman, Babel confusion.
Raven recruitment, fabled from cupid.
Playing the nooses, mage's amusement.
Greater when moonlit, Satan seduces.
Graven congruence, gauging occlusion.
Ancient entombment, placing seclusion.
Tainted attunement, splaying disunion.
Latent solutions, fateful intrusion.
Anger abuses, angel induces.
Savored collusion, laymen preclusion.
Manger disproving, strangers disputed.
Reigning this movement, payment exclusive.
Graceless and gruesome,...

Night & Day
Blank canvas darkness
That night inspiration
Nocturnal aesthetic offers
Glowing in moonscape transpose
A moment here disposed
Fallen shadow contrast
Light shed gravity
Anticipated still
Silent reflection
Through fading position
Dimensional ether
Like diametric angles
Stars in the sky
Symmetry supposed
The pale white dance
Whence dawn returns
Over time's horizon
With wondrous synergy
Observant equilibrium
Attempting balance
Vibrance opens
Radiant...
