Filled and overflowing with the emptiness of anxiety!
I doubt whether butterflies wings are that heavily laden
The dust from their wings, inhibits my breathing causing dizzy spells and glossy eyes
all with the intoxicating scent of tomorrow.
the 354th day in the year 2008, a leap year...
as midnight strikes, the air is cooler...as night lingers for a few more hours to be the first to kiss the coming dawn.
As the clouds reveal the rising sun, the sky gleams differently today...
there's a different aura on the flowers, and a different melody from song birds today...
Listen...can you hear it...
The air, the smell, the songs, the sounds...
all in your tribute! all for your return...
My breathing is slightly released
as i wake to the coming of her steps, the swinging of her arms, the rhythm of her breathing...
I rise today of all days, where the sun will shine brightest, the wind will blow coolest, and all things will be at peace.
My once palpitating heart will be quelled with the softness of her kiss
my jittering hands and eyes, will be steadied with the firmness of her embrace
My ears long her tender laughter
my eyes run tears of joy to behold her eternal smile
My soul is now at peace and at one
As i stand before her, years have kept us apart
but destiny has drawn us closer with each coinciding breath
Now to hear those words,
sail from the sweetness of her voice
from the honey coated lips i long to kiss every so gently
those words;
"I LOVE YOU"
as live as life...
then..and only then...
My world will then be complete

Dreamy real
Rolls and twists in the dew like air within 4 walls
creamy solid panes, with transparent aged glass from the 15th century separate me...
Drip, drop, splash...
heavy brushing winds, howling melodiously, la la bying a resting head
soft chills run up and down my spine, my toes cling to one another for warmth...
chilled earlobes along with a dog like nose.
Though cold, sheets not doing enough to bring me back to human warmth...
my thoughts are wrapped around the right sentiments!!
Blushing and smiling to myself, as flashes of a "type written" voice, digitized laughs & kisses are remembered.
The entire world stops! as my thoughts revolve around and round and round...
my missed, my blessed, and my love!!
hmmm's and ummmm's whispered in silent grins while eyes shut tight! roll with every delightful mental image.
Chasing the coming sun from inside my mind...i drag sheets to cover my eyes to elude it...
bury my head deeper in sinking softness, to give myself the illusion of night.
Once escaping to such a happy place, it is almost impossible to accept reality...
but with that acceptance, there is a shimmer of hope and even a greater possibility that with my waking, you're there with me!

Near away
Glance, think, deny
Stare, wonder, lust
Even sided trails, striding "leap-ish-ly", paying no heed behind you!
Even sided trails, even steps to match you leaps, but eyes fixed on the prize!
we meet, we talk, we mingle...
we then tie, we then make time, we then share love
Love at the cost of death to ones self & suicide to another
Blood heavy of long eye lashes, melted smiles & whispered conversation at mid morning
Hidden intension along every second, laced with the venom of hatred for another...
Heed and converted for the key to freedom.
Sought in the eyes of danger, we sail a stream of edges...
No longer conscience of death!!
Naive to the conception of wraths spawn in days coming
Our infatuations grow wild!!
Now years after months after days...
You anchor your corner, so do me mine!
We have grown apart...
"Destined!? Just another phase!?"
I submit to you this...
Words thrown to the winds blast, can only return from whence they came, for i have not listened, or even had the chance to hear of what you say, but time can only attest to what you saw in your minds eye
So...further breakage, further separation, can only serve to reveal one's new intention!!

Headway PT1
Drawing breath of the morning dew...
Its 5:45am..."An ungodly hour" i thought, yet creatures of work lurked.
Hurriedly they filled the roadways with their problems, more than their numbers!!
Bubbled conversations with themselves filled the airwaves, distorting frequencies of "achievement"
Ardent steps taken, to the rhythm;
walk me ah walk to find ah means
some streets, some rivers, some even streams
but all de walk me ah walk, me nah see de day
wey meh cyan enjoy de money from meh pay!
Fram mornin till night, meh bun meh eye
wukin de wuk, with no reply
Struggle meh ah struggle, day by day
and day by day, i pray nah fi stay
Pickney ah cry, woman ah bawl
"Mi affa get de money fu go ah meat stall"
Look up in de air, band me belly
Dash mi han in mi pocket, fuh pull....fuh pull...fuh pull....
Scurry, scurry... i betta hurry, cause is cuff and cuss and stick from she!!
Scurry, scurry...mi pickney watch me, like dey hauk and spit and shit pun me!!
Money, money...wey could dat be, caw ah wuk me ah wuk fuh it honestly
But doh mi ah wuk, de money dem ah chuck, but by de time ah blink mi tun back bruck
So meh gon and walk...
From early meh walk...
Caw me tun like hawk...
Is wuk me a stalk...
So meh gon and walk...
From early meh walk...
Caw me tun like hawk...
Is wuk me a stalk...
I stand, stop and stare, only to hear the fading steps of the wonderer
Etched patterns of his turmoil, ridden by the charcoal tar
Now swept by the tide of foreign dreams, the hopeless mask approaching
As 1 follows 2, set in sequence, this logic...bare...simply complex...like that of an equation
Shine eye gyal, walk with a "carry.... a hop & a sway"
yo ain't gat no choice but fu look she way...
Hips broad and nice, you start to lust...
"this thing champion man!...i would glad fu brush!!"
But...look at she good, and ya gon see...
all she pain and she agony
If you had any clue...of what she would say to you
if only you spoke to her...just for like 2!! this is what she'd scream at you!
...Is men like YOU!! mek i stray...come in meh life and seh ya gon stay!!
next thing you know, meh belly get high, when looking for you, you done seh "BYE BYE!"
So couple years pass, just turn 23...i got 4 boy chile and 1 gyal pickney
So when you look, ask yourself this!!!
you think it fair for me to in such despair...
you think it fair, for my children i can't care...
you think it fair, that i must buy false hair, and keep up a career, i can't even bear!!
You think it fair!!! You think it Fair!!
I've spoken the mind of fear and despair...
flashing and walking before me, like misty shadows
unshapen, unlikened, undone
For the hanging head on the street
for the wondering eyes, i often meet
Life is not a destiny, but it's a path on which we tarry
For every hill, trodden up and down, for every smile, for every frown
Priceless is the day you seek, so be kind, steadfast and meek
Soon and soon will come the day
that all the answers will come your way
soon and soon will come your way
that all the answers will come your way

The "5" in you!
To think i've only seen like 4 times...
4 times in my life...or if you count the 2 times i saw you that night! it would be 5!!
5 times...5 times!...
like that of my left hand...fingers...5 fingers!! but only one is for you!!
5...to think....5!! how many letters are in your name again!!...5 right!?
Hmm...ok...ok...so remind me...what do i call you!?
"Honey"!!...that's right... and how many letter are they!?....
i thought so...they're 5 too...
But why am i thinking about 5 boo...
i honestly have no clue...
But forget that number for now...or better yet keep it in mind...
because with 5 letters i can spell "shine" that's what yo do for me when i'm dark in my way!!
I was looking for that "tower" to lean on that "heart" to cling to, that "brain" to fall in love with!!
where would 5 years back take us...let's see... 07, 06, 05, 04, 03!!
You and me...back in 03'...
Me: mean
You: in green
Me: Callin'
You: Jus stallin'
Back in 03' that's when we first met, well talked!! because it wasn't till 4 yrs after did i see you!
and then i saw you 5 times...
Seems like it destiny, for you and me...for us to talk!!... way back in 03'!
But never to tell, or even smell one another...until the time of day and year was right!!
Now all i think about is when i would see you again! and what i would do when i see my boo...
And to think...the only thing that comes to mind...is to take a long hard look at what i've missed for 5 whole years before...
Was i blind!? didn't i see...that this beauty of nature can be with me!!
I'm thinking of the day, when i see you what i'd say...it would be nothing!! and oh and just case...
You'd have to rip me off you when i hold you in my embrace!!
Roses are red
you are my boo...
would you believe we both love blue!
i think things silly, you want kisses sweet
blessed was the day, our eyes did meet...
you think things silly, i want kisses too
Glad was the day i made you my boo...
