Song of the Day

I listened… You spoke… Honestly
I watched… You hugged… Openly
I relaxed… You Accepted… Caring
I would never be the same

I opened… You nodded… Approving
I smiled… You laughed… Appreciating
I shared… You shared… Acknowledging
We would never be the same

What else to do but sing? A sigh… sweet and soft
A memory of home where you and I are born
A star beyond this realm galaxy
We visit this earth from time to time and sometimes forget
Then moments like these flick a switch… and like a little pinch… we remember…
and the tears flow…

Now Spirit merges with Divine Energy and we soar beyond the shadows that overwhelm us here on this planet. Here in our little utopia surrounded by nature and men who hold hands and kiss and shower each other with genuine love, dignity and Affirmation.

Our histories weave into one pattern… one robe we wear as we walk out onto the grass… walk into the Light proudly my brothers. Your robe is fit for a King because you are a King… A King from the tribe of Adodi… The tribe of men who Love men who Love men who Love men who Love men who Love men who Love men… Love is eternal.

Song of the Day

Harmony

Softly, first you’ll hear it…
The faintest melody
This song lets your heart sing proud
The deepest harmony

Share

Beautiful you have heard it
Record on your heart
Beautiful now learn it
Share it… Create… Start…

Dance

Dance to life’s rhythms
Let shameful fear subside
Sway to your song’s sweet beat
And in God’s Grace abide

Grow

Now listen to the songs around
And let them help you grow
But never let them get too loud
Or yours you might let go

Love

Cause Light and Love and wealth unknown
Gather round the blessed few
Who sing the songs of Love’s Divine
And to themselves be true

I open my eyes and look around at the place I am at… I analyze it
I realize it is not the place for me to be
I see More

so I look up

past the darkness, past the pain, past the hurt, past the rain
Clouds that keep me over cast, threatening down pour upon my poor soul
I pray this storm brewing, stewing within, wouldn’t catch me unprepared. Its weird I know
But I got this feeling that this ceiling I am under
will protect me
then I think.

And in my final deduction I realize this construction of …bad habits
My ugly little rabbits that hide under
Will keep me locked in a jail spelt fail forever protected from the… Rain

So I get up from where I’m laying, staying, delaying, always saying…I will
but never willing myself to… do and

I do the impossible

I stop this emotional war. All my battles are won
Get up off this mental floor
Reach for the door that opens to … ME. Beautiful and alive
Cause whosoever said that I was GREAT… was Right… Is Right… and will always be Right
I am!!!

But wait, don’t put your hands together just yet. Listen… Listen to the calm
It’s the way our universe applauds
a new Me

This is my contribution to the world of spoken word.  The ability to use words to for rhythm and the sound of the words as well as for the images and pictures that the words themselves create has always fascinated me.

I see you standing there
Brown as Earth
Light is drawn to u
And I… I am drawn to sound
The sound of bare feet against cool wooden floors

The sound of your voice against my earlobes

What dominates your dreams?
What controls desire?
What ignites the fire?
What takes you higher?
What brings ecstasy to your fantasy.
Intensity to your sensuality.
What combines urgency, necessity, and exhibits complexity in my humanity.

Is it song?
Is it poem?
Is it candle light, the feeling of being light
Skin pressed tight, soft nibble, gentle bite
Bodies that fight and unite.

But u pass right by

A rose, a scent, a sigh

Mother Earth breathes,
Adjective and superlative cease to be definitive

Too sweet for words, too sweet to express
Too deep to formulate, too raw to communicate
Feelings and emotions suffocate, as I stare intently
Gaze directly in hateful anonymity at the brilliance
That is vanishing before my eyes
Step by step. Emptiness consumes.
Longing reverberates thru the hollow of me
I am as I was b4.

One of my favorite movies is “Love Jones” – I’m a romantic at heart and I love beautiful images.  This movie also showcases poetry and it inspired me to write this piece about love and loss.
