Instinct
Do I see scripts where there are lines
Do I see Star patterns where crumbs aline
Is this fear that rises within
A warning from our ancient kin
In their skin
Now my DNA
Do I listen
To the warning they
Convey
And if I do not
Will I be surprised
To find the sun
In tomorrow's sunrise
Will the burn
In my eyes
Be mine
My crime
Or should I blame the world
For not warning in time.
Do I see Star patterns where crumbs aline
Is this fear that rises within
A warning from our ancient kin
In their skin
Now my DNA
Do I listen
To the warning they
Convey

To find the sun
In tomorrow's sunrise
Will the burn
In my eyes
Be mine
My crime
Or should I blame the world
For not warning in time.

A Tale of Two Souls
Once (or twice) upon a time ago
there lived a sad, and lonely soul.
Far much worse than being alone,
forgotten was the direction home.
It stood transfixed, full of fear.
A minute passed, or maybe a year.
Sadness overtook, such a feeling of woe.
A consumption that only seemed to grow.
Then, one day, the onset of mass confusion.
Had the soul been living a life of dillusion?
For, another chanced by, upon that road,
eyes wrapped in cloth, tapping a pole.
The first soul cried out, "How can this be?!
You...

A Present Yesterday
To be great,
means releasing what's good,
Then fear sets in, because of what's misunderstood.
Scared of getting it wrong, once we think we've got it right-
Avoiding the moniker of a blatherskite.
Going round and around, life is cyclical-
Surely to lay waste to the pontifical.
Life leaves most where they were picked up-
Ignorance makes them spiritual scup.
Light and heavy loads are forever in tow-
As broader or slimmer overstandings flourish and flow.
Seriously; these are not words of caricature-
...

My Chosen Valentine
Protecting ourselves
is the natural response
to a Universe of experience:
stories we don’t tell—
scars we won’t reveal
hidden vulnerabilities
Choose Love anyway;
it purges negativity—
not that of a judge or critic
taking offense at storms
blowing back in their face;
but, from your own heart
Empty your innermost coffers
as a gift to others—
then refill for yourself
Balance is the footpath
of Universal Love

Valentine Baby!
(Billy Snagg/LibraSoul96)
Hey yo, Valentine baby!!!
Fancy doin' somethin' maybe?
Go out for a meal
Say we gotta deal
Sayin' what I feel
That guy Cupid, slightly stupid
Wat he all about?
Shakin' it, fakin' it, wearin' it
Tearing it all day long
Outa chocolate
Outa luck
Get real baby
This is our fight
Chance we make right
Everythin' wrong
Valentine fine
You will spend every dime
My love will have you addicted
Like the rarest form of kryptonite
I'll be...

rejoice
let your sadness be
your's and your's
alone
let mad dog blood boil
in your veins as you
growl poems of
rage
let the murder in your
heart sing to
the host of
heaven
let the dreams in
your soul be
dust
let the lies in your mind
build unconqured
mountains
let the darkness in your
soul take you
by the
hand
let the path you walk
be forever
lost
let the wine on your
lips empty the
bottle
let the songs you...
your's and your's
alone
let mad dog blood boil
in your veins as you
growl poems of
rage
let the murder in your
heart sing to
the host of
heaven
let the dreams in
your soul be
dust
let the lies in your mind
build unconqured

let the darkness in your

I’M STILL STANDING
I’m still standing,
although you tried to break me down.
I’m still standing,
You thought I wouldn’t make it on my own
raising your child & 4 of my own.
I’m still standing
You used those mind tricks
to make me feel
lower than a woman should ever feel.
Something you wanted to crush
under your feet,
I’m still standing
Although you strained my arm,
held a gun to my head,
And finally beating me beyond nonrecognition.
I’m still standing
Although you took everything I had.
I’m still standing
Even though...
although you tried to break me down.
I’m still standing,
You thought I wouldn’t make it on my own
raising your child & 4 of my own.
I’m still standing
You used those mind tricks
to make me feel
lower than a woman should ever feel.
Something you wanted to crush
under your feet,
I’m still standing
Although you strained my arm,
held a gun to my head,
And finally beating me beyond nonrecognition.
I’m still standing
Although you took everything I had.
I’m still standing
Even though...

Those worthless words
Some people do stupid things, then say, "TRY!"
And afterward SOMEONE asks, "WHY?"
Other people do amazing things, then take a bow.
And afterward SOMEONE asks, "HOW?"
Those two words, seemingly full of potential,
Are truly worthless, and can never make one full.
In questions dealing with the heart,
The truest answers are all but art.
If you try, you'll understand I bet,
Some fuck to remember, while others fuck to forget.
And afterward SOMEONE asks, "WHY?"

If you try, you'll understand I bet,

Shared Space
Last night the moon shined only 4 me.
So bright were her pearly white teeth
Illuminating little ole me
She must be blind to all the calamities beneath
Last night the moon shined only 4 me.
Suspended so perfectly in an ired sky
I saw the past, present and future thru a third eye
Looking out was really looking within
seeing the woes of mother's sin.
Last night the moon shined only 4 me.
To not lose sight but, in fact, to begin to see
the beauty of I, myself and me
And just as I began to feel electricity flowing...
So bright were her pearly white teeth
Illuminating little ole me
She must be blind to all the calamities beneath
Last night the moon shined only 4 me.
Suspended so perfectly in an ired sky
I saw the past, present and future thru a third eye
Looking out was really looking within
seeing the woes of mother's sin.
Last night the moon shined only 4 me.
To not lose sight but, in fact, to begin to see
the beauty of I, myself and me
And just as I began to feel electricity flowing...

"Never Forsake You"
It's an honor to live love on a two way street
where good intention and
sweet gestures greet.
Knowledge and understanding are the tools needed
when building for eternity,
where I see thrones of gold and amethyst
awaiting the two of WE to take seat.
Never can I forsake you
because love is the choice,
even when not in harmony like a choral voice.
To forsake you, is to forsake me
and thus all our godly pleas,
to build together and improve our world through
harmony, truth, justice and good deeds. ...
where good intention and
sweet gestures greet.
Knowledge and understanding are the tools needed

To forsake you, is to forsake me
and thus all our godly pleas,
to build together and improve our world through
harmony, truth, justice and good deeds. ...
