Harmony

I think in frequency
I love to think of you frequently
You and I make harmony
In the flesh we are two
At soul level we are one
Earth to the Sun
May the river run
Undefeated
The trepidation of the soil
Seeds planted
Water boiled
Using an obstacle
As an advantage
Another harmonic cleft
What is left
As we are stated so clearly
Perception misunderstood
Even if a heart's intention is good
Moods change
Thoughts rearrange
Familiar becomes strange
And we forge our way
Forward
Water ways
Thesis estranged
And we arise to greet the day
Waves in my Wu Wei
Cause my surroundings to change
Days gone by
This my construct
That rises
Because of the obstruction
Ideas surface
And dissolve in the wind
When can we do this again?

Robbery

This rapist sits there mocking me
My piano keys speak volumes
Issues my words alone
Could never proclaim
Watching me
Their power hungry mockery
But I'm scholarly
Fighting off their attacks
With my pen as a weapon
Stepping in
These fools wish to settle in
I hold my grin
For a time that is just right
There could be no "us"
Without "them"

Owl

I follow the lines his eyes make
Jet black and large
Like the eyes of the owl
That guides me to safety
Loving him satiates me
Mostly because I know it is not easy
It pleases me
To be there when he calls
I fall on my knees
In front of my piano keys
Allowing the melody I make
To carry my pain away
I give more than most are able
But I claim fulfillment
From the Universal Flow
Only Nature knows
How my breast can heave
Late at night
In my home alone
Tears weave their fearful cry
Into my hair
As I release the sigh
The heavy weight
Lands on my chest
And for a moment
I am bereft
Clefting minor keys
The power of my destiny
Soothes me
Back into harmony
the Sun rises
The warmth of it surprises
Even the coldest parts of me
But here against my
Darkest sorrow
I hold in my palm
The promise of tomorrow
And not even the cleverest of lies
Can take that peace away from me

Satiate

I am testing the waters
This world that surrounds me
Mirrors of reflection
This particle wave that becomes me
Running eternal
This volition that moves me
Gleaning from the Universe
These emissions that infuse me

Corutous

Corutous is a Greek word that means- that which does not stand and disintegrates beneath its own weight due to lack of foundation.

Doors open
Perception changes
Psychic awareness
World rearranges
Wu Wei in the process
Of taking me places
The volition of life
Has me changing faces
Political awareness
Embolism rise
Looking for direction
From the Eastern skies
Wise beyond my clothing
But they use what I say
Take advantage of my heart
And hate all I've gained
But dissuaded I shall not be
Though mirroring my spirit
And if you're not listening
I shall not speak to hear it

Wallflower Purple

I am a conceptual misfit
Political problems
Is just the least of it
I speak the truth
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Put my face in the Mic
My story on the stage
In the space of two days
My whole life has changed
From owls in the trees
To tree frogs in my john
I must move on
He writing stories
In red ink on a yellow page
Another afraid to interrupt
These sacred words must be said
We have magnetized
Philosophers, poets, and a sage
From the purple of my shirt
To the brown of the table
The volition of my pen
Has me writing because I am able
Examples of our lives
May be misconceived
Perception from outside
May lead those to deceive
Hard pressed some are
To watch others fall
But I am here
To compose a brand new score
The harmony in my step
Has my Wu Wei along
And I firmly believe
We each have a song
I am volatile and ready
To roll through these changes
Transition through these
Evolutionary rearranges
Strangers dance
A southern two step
And once again
The Wallflower is left
Watching the world
Surrounding the color of her flower
Still ready to give love to anyone in need

Evolution

I move in undulating waves
Approaching my center
In circular impulsive motion
Oceans of thought
Rain falls from heavenly skies
Bartering with my demons
For more space in my soul
Controlling nothing
But allowing the impulses
Of an algorithmic universe
To Wu Wei me forward
This rhythmic motion is enough
To justify my need
To perpetuate my senses
Defenses falter
Under cold pressed thought
I am wrought and tempered
Like brand new silver
Slivers of doubt
Still cling to my fabric
But I am ready to become
All I am meant to be
Needless worry
Sorrow on my sleeve
I believe
In all I am
I am ready for all of this

Room to Grow

The stark white walls echo
Silent truths unspoken
Broken thoughts
Emulating hope
Fulfillment in our fantasies
Our driven spark rises
Truth over heartache
The path often takes
Building blocks of sorrow
Sparrows that fly
Carrying messages
Dressed in fabric
This royal robe
Confidence spoke
On a purple microphone
Any place can be home
If you feel less alone
Salty stains
On pillow cases
But my brain is laced
With strains of music
Only composed
To help us all know
There is always
Room to grow

Midnite Sky

She got on the bus
Anxious to leave Florida behind
In a state of exhausted funds
Anything is possible
Florida had not been kind
She was ready for the wheels
Of this bus
To cross the Georgia line
Sublime aspirations
Inspiration
Everything South Carolina
Would become
This transition of sky and sun
To tall pine trees and grass lands
To the rolling waves of Myrtle Beach
The juxtaposition of her
 Against the Florida sky
Grew into her against the ocean tide
Mind over matter
Emotions grew and exploded
Like stars against a midnite sky

Spark

I stand
Juxtaposed against the backdrop
The loud sound of the air
Condition
Listens to our pens as we write
In spite of all our difference
We understand the pain
And with vehemence we speak
Our eyes pour down like rain
Sun shine filled skin
We are remembering again
What it was like to be a child
Outside the circle of play
But what really matters
In this life
Is it the strongest
Or the loudest that survive?
My hair wants to fall down my back
In dreadlocks
Hers in curls
How does my hair
Affect their world?
I am your girl because
I am honest
I am your girl because
I am true
I am your girl because
I love water
How am I so different
From you?

Home to Me

You are the nipple of my spiritual joy
The concentration of my pain
You are the repetition in my rhetoric
I want to know you again and again and again

You are the sorrow in my slumber
You are the silver lining in my sky
I breathe deep the rain of you
One breath and I am high

You are the wisdom in my ethic
The suspense in my mystery
You are my long road to freedom
You are the reason I believe

You are the bullet in my weapon
You are the rhyme in my poetry
You are the Sun to the Earth I am
The culmination of our destiny

You are the mythos in my dogma
The rhythm in my step
You are the Patriot of my Country
You are the children we'll beget

You are all my eyes can see
Prismatic breath of nature's dream
You are all my soul could need
Would that I could
Bring you home to me

Ashley

 

Girl, you are about to give me a myocardial infarction
You got me sittin in my dark room listenin to a jazz tune
Shakin the film watchin this development
Watchin light and dark turn into something skeletal
Further as the time goes...
This skeleton is lookin better and
I'm hopin for a story I can shake a little glory in
Your eyes are simply glorious
Tell me what your morning is
Does the sun shine spectacular
You say your digging my vernacular
I love the way you dance for me
Like a sprite underneath a forest tree
See what you do to me
You say you find me interesting
Well please know I'm interested
I'm vesting my time to write this rhyme for you
So please don't decline my request to wine and dine with you
You say you speak the truth
Well so Do I
And this afternoon
Our banter made my spirit fly
You gave me back my butterflies
Have to admit it's been a while
Whether or not you wanna be my girl
I wanted you to know
I like your style
