Up And At ’Em
Up and at ‘em…When I just wanna sleep
As luck would have it, I can only fathom having this peace…
Some imagined reprieve, that I could handle with ease, to turn the war and win the battle in me…
Dear Lord,
I plead for more…From the ground floor to soar
High from a balcony, where ancient alchemy’s released
Confounding winds with a baffling breeze
I dabble in these
Within my rabble-rousing skin
My spirit calls for action and the grappling begins…
Through the lens of these esoteric factions
Lives the fractious…Not enamored...

Endless I'll start tomorrows
Dictating the results of your life one decision at a time.
It doesn’t matter what stage you’re at, all that matters is what’s in thy mind.
You make the choice
To raise or lower your voice.
To keep peace or ignore self control, to rejoice in life or claim your defeat.
Anger may flow but don’t let it possess, should it arise just remember your breath.
Sure it’s easier stated than enacted
but it only gets worse the more you invest.
The longer you stay distracted..
What is evolving if not forgetting lame excuses and endless I’ll start...

I know you got some family issues
and i've been kinda down on my luck
but why should any of those circumstances
stop us from having a good fuck?
why let the world beat us down
when we still got us?
c'mere baby
let me open you up
so i can fill your mind with spontaneity
your heart with laughter
and your body with pleasure
let me tell you a joke i heard the other day
i swear it's gonna crack you up
let's try this new position i've been thinking about
i know you're gonna love it

My Words I'd Love To Release
I have no idle time to spare
to just sit, rest and stare
Leisure, a word I literally define
into my world I can trace no sign
a body in motion.. a brain absorbed
beauty blurred.. life confined
The Muse of poetry, the soul is the abode
do I need my ink to upload?
*****
My words I’d love to release
restore between the ribs peace.
*****
A past lingering sweet incense
feeding the inner self with sense
As for now, prevailing is the scent of evil
human nature slipping into upheaval
Souls roaming.. dry are their wells ...
to just sit, rest and stare
Leisure, a word I literally define
into my world I can trace no sign
a body in motion.. a brain absorbed
beauty blurred.. life confined
The Muse of poetry, the soul is the abode
do I need my ink to upload?
*****
My words I’d love to release
restore between the ribs peace.
*****
A past lingering sweet incense
feeding the inner self with sense
As for now, prevailing is the scent of evil
human nature slipping into upheaval
Souls roaming.. dry are their wells ...

OVERCOME
Within sleep, unspoken scars
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me...
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me...

Days
The spirit of each Day
wakes one Morning
having slept the best part of a Year.
And the Morning is the same for each of them -
so much to do, having done so little,
and all in a few hours.
But for Christmas it’s different.
For Christmas it comes hard.
The other days are merely birthdays or anniversaries,
a holiday here and there.
There may be more important times of the year
but for Christmas we are always counting down.
But Christmas finds it easy because Christmas doesn’t care.
And all the other Days...
wakes one Morning
having slept the best part of a Year.
And the Morning is the same for each of them -
so much to do, having done so little,
and all in a few hours.
But for Christmas it’s different.
For Christmas it comes hard.
The other days are merely birthdays or anniversaries,
a holiday here and there.
There may be more important times of the year
but for Christmas we are always counting down.
But Christmas finds it easy because Christmas doesn’t care.
And all the other Days...

Gumdrops falling like rain
Falling from the sky
A shower of gum drops
It burns the tongue so sweetly
So chewy, so gooey – it reminds me to never give up my dreams
AIM HIGH! And climb the giant turd called life!
I wanna go where the acid gumdrops come from
You may want to value my ideas
Life is for living and death is for dying
So make like a gumdrop and flap away flying
Wait a minute... Are you paying attention to me?
Probably not!
Hey! I asked you a question!
Are you paying attention to me?
That's better
Now listen up here...
ACID!...

Harmony mix with Peace
It's another day here on earth 🌎 that I am here by myself in this atmosphere of no time only space. as I let the entire world slowly slip away from my mind and heart and soul. For AS I am looking around this very transition, is a welcome site to find out here in natures beauty, as it is surroundings me yet
I can relate to this day as I continue to pray. 🙏 Thanks again for another day in my life and world, 🌎 that I've been blessed to see another day on this earth. For sure I am grateful and thankful and blessed, to have this opportunity for a righteous blessing....

The Importance of the Right Woman
Thoughts of you, woman,
stir love in your man's soul
Memories of your presence bring forth feelings
Powerful,
Bold
There is a fire burning inside your man
which keeps him moving ever forward
A God-given imperative to profess, provide, and protect
It is your presence in his life
which gives focus to his method
And gives reason to his madness
It is what you do
and who you are
that bring peace in the heart of this man
Doing what comes natural to you is the cure for what ails him ...

It feels good, so who really cares
When he would get off from work he would come home to his wife and her irritable old mother
He hates his mother in law
She lives with them, after her husband died a few years back
Lucky him
She nags and complains and aggravates him every goddamn night
He gets tired of telling his wife to kick her out or have her shut her fucking mouth
He can't take the noise
All day long at work he has to listen to the noise
His boss, the assholes he works with and those fucking machines
When he gets home he wants quiet
His wife is always protecting her mother...

Choose your favorite dumpster
Forget the funeral
Place the body in a dumpster
Saves you money
I chose the dumpsters behind Old Navy & Michael's
Most of their garbage is fabrics, soft materials and other plush & cozy things
I want my family member to have a relaxing stay inside one of these dumpsters
I'm always thinking of everyone but myself
You won't have to see all those relatives that you hate
You won't have to fake being upset
Let the public sanitation engineers worry about it
You've got it hard enough
Besides, who needs all that strenuous bullshit ...

IN THE MIDSUMMER HEAT
In the midsummer heat
our blues are in retreat.
Joie de vivre in the street,
the disco pounds its beat.
Dresses are less discreet;
bare legs and sandalled feet
roving eyes' gazes meet.
The flirtatious greet.
our blues are in retreat.
Joie de vivre in the street,
the disco pounds its beat.
Dresses are less discreet;
bare legs and sandalled feet
roving eyes' gazes meet.
The flirtatious greet.
