Self

Inspiration: Talking to my friend Lee.
Word: Compromise

Don't ever compromise yourself
to suit someone else's idea of you

Let your hair swing

Inspiration: Thinking about my friend Sarah
Word: Enjoy

Come enjoy with me
you're welcome to sit with me
and listen
as we breathe together
sing together
as we be here together
as one
Embrace all responsibilities
and dismiss them
as you quiet your mind
allow the tingle in your thighs
and give your mind the power
to unwind

Dancin' Fool

Inspiration: Looking at the time.
Word: Tick

Her body ticked to the rhythm
rotated to the groove
she was and had the moves
she let her body loose
to the rhythm of the beat
as she danced and stomped her feet
she held onto the beat
and rotated with her knees
and let her body rock
till she was fallin' on her hands
the crowds shouted and yelled
man that girl can dance

The Fifth Death

Inspiration: My stomach hurts.
Word: Ill

Ill related substances
conquered her mind
and sent her body
on a fiery journey towards
what looked like hell
she tried to yell
but every thing became heavy
as her neck became too stiff
and her eyelids could no longer lift
this was death
resulted by too many fifths

Honey Drop

Inspiration: Two Sunday's ago there was a realllly good preacher who came to my church.
Word: Temporarily

I hung onto your words like honey,
rapidly wrapping myself
in the beauty of them-
The suggestion of them
created a fire in me

I didn't question them
I welcomed them
with open arms
hoping that
they would latch onto me
and stay with me
So I might learn from them
when you might flee from me

It was evident that your words
contained a certain uncertainty
that proposed that they were to lovely
(to unwed) to stay on my lips
and I understood that you knew
that I knew that

So I discarded my worry
and did not grow furry
and just allowed your words of honey
to drip slowly on my lips
temporarily

Promising Future

Inspiration: Thinking about when I leave for college
Word: Yesterday

I saw yesterday
and de-rated it
cus foreva and always
stuck together like forever

I couldn't handle the uneasy
of leaving the E or even the breeze

So I sunk my neck into Lake Michigan
and swam in all the dirty of the riva
and began to pictura
my first laugh there
my first half there
my first, life there

Right there
here I ponder
wonder
about my desirable future
the promising one
the right one

Stung me sharp
was my memory
of how I knew life would be
trouble but worth
it
big
but little in the fact
that I would give birth in it

create in it
become a great in it

see my name held
high in it
reside in it

Proclaim thy Lord

Inspiration: Looking at the sky, and thinking about a talk I had with my friend Katie.
Word: Proclaim

If my sky's blue
do you see blue too?

Does the wind bite you in the same way?
Did it storm in your world yesterday?

I can not understand,
(nor do I want to)
the complexities of this land.

Like my hand!
A hand?

What art work
crafted by the world's only best.
Stitched with lines, vines

Please define the unhappiness
struck to my chest
at the sight your hand's
hand holding another

And my brother?
He has my blood too?
He sheds my blood, too?

Final land given
to be destroyed-
(until the second death).

Such madness,
such a hell won't prevail
until veiled with evil
and bonded forever.

Deceitful presence of another,
led them there.

Killed by Vengeance
Loved by Vengeance
but all destroyed
by Vengeance

Vengeful people
unhell me.

We live in a world
not lacking
familiarities to get lost in
to seek Pentecost again
to see your love, again

Love again another today,
cry for me another day,
feel everlasting pain everyday

or seek Lord and proclaim him yours
forever
and always
