In Life and Death

 

deafening…

be the seconds…

of silence professing time’s infinite course

faint images of your existence

dangle in the twilight of tomorrow’s tears

sweet sorrow slumbers upon my breast

as pieces of dreams float away on a cloud

your voice…lingering in the shadows

that deep edgy verbalistic embrace

genuinely rich and mentally inviting

like a babe weeping in the womb

i hear you and I feel you deep within me

i will nurture the breath of your spirit with my own breath

journey the path instinctively laid…step by step

until that faithful day we unite once more

for physically…you’ve transcended this realm

though spiritually…our souls are infinitely blended

in life and in death

you will always be…

a soul that lives at the very heart of me

God's Children

 

I saw a beautiful singer on tv joyfully pouring pieces of her soul
into the hearts of her audience
Though the glass through which I peered
stifled the sound, the spirit in her eyes captured me
And I thought to myself, that could have been me
There was time they looked at me that way
Though years have swayed the condition of my unsung fame
I cling to those moments as though they were
blankets that provided warmth to my frozen pride
Looking into the eyes of those who pass me on the street
Pity dancing in their demeanor as if at first glance they
can decipher the spectrums of my damaged soul
Thinking one or two dollars thrown my way can deflect
the unwavering agony of my existence which lingers
on with persistence as the day and night enfolds
Hunger eating away at me as I witness the beautiful faces of
those in my midst consuming their fill at will
Do I exist only to remind others of where they don't want to end up?
Sure there those that use the homeless game
To cater to their hustlin' needs,
but that is few in the realm of many
What about me?

What about us?
What about the woman who sleeps in the box near mine
who's child cries famished, knowing no other method of release?
What about the bodies that lay scattered about?
Some sexin' for a measly few bucks,
Some pleading to God for sweet mercy,
While other simply lie in a drug induced state
waiting for that moment of freedom when time finally runs out.
I mean truly, what is it all about?
The concept may be simple in your mind
You think that we placed ourselves here to be victimized by the streets
But each one of us has a soulful account that needs to be heard
Do you honestly think that this is the life we deserve?
Searching trash cans for scraps of food to appease the beast roaring in our
bellies as we struggle to stomach the stench of our bodies
craving to be cleansed
As you walk past oblivious to the dimming of our light
barely flickering within
Not just strangers, but brothers and sisters alike who know our names
Dispelling our lowly position and simply walking away
Erasing traces of our footprints in the sands of time
Rather than uniting together to lift souls out the depths of this hellish plight
by providing job training, shelter, food and clothing
Sometimes a simple act of kindness extended from the heart
It may not change our current state
But it's a start!
We need you to take off the blinders and look beneath the grimy skin
to discover the glorious complexions gleaming within
Help us!
For we are one of you!
God's children

Reborn

 

I reach into the echoes of my reflections to behold you

Shouting into the whispers of my pain, the mirror intertwines with her tears

As I bathe mournfully in midnight sorrow… missing you

Her heart beats in rhythm to the questions from my mind

Memories resurrected dance to my heart’s sweet serenade, vivid though faded

We hold hands with the images of her silhouette

Cloaked in the tranquility of our reminiscent heaven

Murmurs of hellsong softly reveal truth

That wading in the wishing wells of yesterday cannot retract destiny’s youth

Applying the ageless ointment of time, wounds and hope embrace

Breathing faithful solace into a heart infinitely displaced by love

Crimson stained, peace begins to flow haltingly on a new course

Renewed are my visions as I partition away that which ails me and move forth

 

Reborn, I transcend her virginity and find my voice

 

- written by Lyric & Colette
 

Loving Me Poetically

 The moment I walked into the room

The intoxicating nature of your spiritual energy engulfed me

Like a mighty eagle swooping down from the heavens to claim it’s prey

Transforming me into nourishment for the soul

A phenomenon of extraordinary measure

In it’s most radiant and uninhibited form

Destined from the very beginning

The day my spirit greeted the womb of birth

Before my first breath rendered on this earth

Before Adam and Eve hid behind fig leaves

Before the formation of the mountains and seas

Before God created man in the image of he

For you complement the definition of me

Your aura dances in the midst of my fantasies

Replenishing the canvas of my soul with

Vibrant colorful silhouettes of empathy

Washing away all my afflictions

Powerful verbal passages inscribed

Possessing the infinite authority to save lives

Catering to the source of my iniquities

That until now consumed me

My ears ponder the message displayed

As my soul cries out in ecstasy

In response to max capacity of you

Yearning for freedom through lyrical release

To which you provide with the greatest of ease

Then suddenly, your words are no more

And I am left with but a memory

Of this man, a soul’s mate, a warrior, a king

Who in the essence of expressing his testimony

Made perfect love to me… poetically
