How many nights
have turned to days
in ways
that make each
phase a haze
Out of mind
and in a daze
on auto pilot
on this
space-borne maze
There’s no variety
in the Sun that we see
So what makes a day
A day lived free?
Who decides what best
for society?
What room is left
for you
and for me?
Often it’s the inspiration
That overcomes waning motivation,
It’s something outside that
Keeps me from wasting
Time supplied,
Yet time still waiting
For the energy to move,
To be able to choose
Still afraid to act
As if there’s something left to lose,
Let me stop for a moment,
this isn’t just about the blues,
When you can see
All the fresh green
Centered between
Concentric circles
Of swaying trees
Over-washed in
The sweetest breeze
As if life itself is peace at ease,
All our wants
And all our needs
Temporarily sustained
So long as we breathe.
Find a passion and let it grow
Let it lead you on a path to find your soul.
For me, rhymed insults in high school
Became the poems I’d write for girls I barely knew.
But after a suggestion from a friend
I gave this talent a direction,
A new focus on self reflection,
Not concerned about perfection,
Not to mention
Inspired by others
With lyrical prowess
Who progress
An artistic arrangement of words
With such a finesse
Where people call em the best
Cause instead of choosing to rest
They put to their mind to the test
And use their creativity
Affecting souls productively
While building art for all to see
Living life alongside their dreams
We wear sunglasses to protect our eyes from the sun.
It also makes it easier to be outside.
Don’t have to squint.
Don’t have to feel the uncomfortable brightness.
How many of us wear sunglasses on our hearts?
Making the lows not hurt as much,
But also limiting the power of the highs.
What do sunglasses of the heart look like?
I’d call them loveglasses.
Ways to make things more of the same by putting a dark shade over everything.
I always feel a little different when I wear sunglasses.
It changes the dynamic of how I feel while interacting with people.
Eye contact is broken. It doesn’t feel as connection-like.
Same with loveglasses.
I wonder how I’d act if I could take my loveglasses off.
Guess what —
Love is as bright as the sun.
You can either embrace it and squint,
Or it can be dulled.
The choice, as it’s always been, is yours.
Today is the day of independence
So let us remember the events that led to this
Yeah this world isn’t so perfect
As there’s so much left to do
But let’s not discredit the people
Who lost what they didn’t have to lose

A new track
A new canvas
A new animation
A new poem
The first bar
The first line
The first frame
The first rhyme
Time
Time
Time
Time
A melody formed
A background grown
A motion stirred
A thought shown
Time
Time
Time
Time
A song to share
Is one to hear
And a painting done
Is for the see-er
A short clip exists
Ever so briefly
To simply show off
The result of one’s dreaming
And here’s my arrangements of words in a row
Sharing my thinking, just so you’ll know
So make the most of it
Dont fall and quit
On your heart
The moment it tears apart
Loss is coming and it’s going to pack a punch
Death is around the corner, this isn’t just a hunch
Wake up – Now is the time to wake up!
Emotions are coming and you need to be strong
Enough to embrace them
Enough to move on
But never forgetting
That the dead live on
So long as you remember
To continue their song
Cause in life we are a combination of these two things
A self that experiences and a self that thinks
We are the sum of our total experiences
With a capacity of our human awareness
When the time comes when we pass this
The only loss is the continuous additiveness
To our own take on lifes experiences
Storing shared moments
Of a fleeting bliss
Sprinkled with bits of painfulness
Yet look at all the togetherness
Envision the people that led to this
See this world as a communal wish
To grasp this ideal of happiness
From them a lesson not to miss
That in the end,
Gratitude is the answer to anguish
Don’t you see?
An understood mind is a fallacy
It’s a joke in the face of reality
‘Cause no ones wrote a truth that all can see
We all see the world differently
Perspectives and mindsets differing
So where we come together it’s where it’s the same
Love is the link that breaks the chain
And replaces it with change
Capable of saving ourselves
Building a better world
Instead of creating our hells
So let’s ring the bells
This a call to action
There’s a reason love sells
The universe isn’t out to get me
Its there waiting for a bit more understanding
To know we can’t understand it
And how we often take for granted
The laws of physics in a continuous
Chain reaction of amibiguous
Call to action
Imagine happiness, try to max it
Find a bliss and hope it lasts this
Last time cause I cant go back
To hanging on a single vine
Like a life line holding back
A catapult
Cause once I say its all my fault
I shoot off into a one man cult
Where im trapped inside my painful thoughts
That make it harder for me to open up
Repressin a desire to express whats up
But im free now
cause I see how
I dont need doubt
If I let it out
I have friends proud
So I say it loud
I have found now
Solid ground
Got my feet down
This is the Summer
When dreams come to life
No longer in slumber
They won’t stay in my night
For I have a hunger
To inspire my self
Along with others
To change this world and bring the focus back to love
With my hands and my heart
This blessing of time is more than enough.
