Rapturous Soul

Of my love
Of my breath
Of the passion in my chest
Of the earth
Of the sea
Of my farther
And of me
You are of all things but incorporate so much more
You are the love that I fathom and search for
The atoms of my essence sing songs of your grace
The blue jewel of your mind offsets the frustration of our pace
To be lyrically yours I must exhale
The Urban Butterfly carries me so I can not fail
Of my arms but wholly my strength
Delaleuverses run through my mind as I hide behind the slump façade of the trench
Watching the fireworks of shells saunter overhead, all I have is Joy
Iron be soul, may the result of this battle field be Beautifully Imperfect Acuity after I deploy

I deeply apologize that I do not post often; I have certain restriction that limit my postings, but you guys are always on my mind. I hope you can find the hints of yourself in this post.

I Could Not Stop For Death

When left with but a memory and vagueness of the your tone
My eyes can only but water at the thought that you are gone
You asked if I was sleeping, maybe in hopes that you could to
Now you are the one who is sleeping, and I who wishes to join you

“I could not stop for death
So he kindly stopped for me”
And took away my friend
But placed her in eternity

He may have hung his head
And regretted what he had to do
Did so with this softest touch
But the fact remains true

There is a hollow in heart
Pseudo occupied with sadness and grief not only for us
“I could not stop for death”
So he kindly left me Justice

In loving memory of Trish

Happy Birthday

Since tomorrow is my birthday I suggest that we all get but naked and do shots of each other, LOL, no I am to old fashioned for that, but I do suggest we celebrate. Any ideas?

Still I Cry 2

I cry because you love me and I am afraid to love you back
I cry because I know that there are a lot of things that I lack
Because I've severed bonds that I hold so dear
I cry because there is an end that I do not fear
I cry because I need to take a stand
I cry because I quiet my inner man
I cry because Corinne Bailey Rae healed me a little when I wasn't trying to be
I cry because when I run into the darkness for refuge there is a love that I still can see
Because excepting responsibility is always present and demanding
I cry because with you I don't know my current standing
I cry because it is the only way I know to lift the weight
I cry because all the beauty inside me is trying to escape
I know that I spiral down into the abymaloldsoullove when I close my eyes
But I cry because I stand behind myself whispering lies
I cry because I allow myself to
I cry because I keep myself from loving you

Subvertion

I like you because you are a forbidden possession
I'll bite my lip and think surreptitious thoughts
A fact that continues to fuel this burning obsession
Because you have the delicacy of which i sought
A juicy pleasure which leaks its desire

An oral advocate devouring the wet realms of life

I know the perfect place for my pleasures to transpire
Again tongue subverts clit tonight

Belonging

I've exhausted my mind
I feel in time, the eternal drought will set
And the remaining life will shrivel and die, signifying the last look back upon a past
A shattered looking glass
Becomes a kaleidoscope of lies
No longer do have my eyes
So the truths are gone
And I belong now to a new world
I belong now
I Belong

Tonight

Tonight all secrets are told
The stories unfold
Tonight one scripture one verse
all truths unearth
Tonight one light
One table
Tonight non-fiction non-fable
Two men set out to achieve
What all others disbelieve
The rhetoric of life
The black mans plight
A key to survival
Tonight
All sounds are mute
spoken symbols transmute
Into things that ring and chime
Into a soul sublime
subliminal messages and notes
The philosophers quote
The philosopher's stone
Blink and our history is gone
Tonight I drop the sheraid
All roads are paved For an autumn walk
Perception is fraught
Tonight I'm Liberated
In Christ inebriated
The undertone is set
The receiver receives the point
Tonight will be the best night yet

Manual Shutdown

How do you comfort the eyes that have shed a thousand fold tears
Gently touch the heart that has closed the doors behind itself because it has given up on love over the years
Kiss the chest once warm that has ceased to hold burning passion and has become cold
How do you embrace the arms that have become chilled because of the affliction that has convinced them not to hold
Reignite the mind that controlled all of these functions but has lost the will to indulge in the metaphysical
Now it has deemed emotions insignificant and categorized them with the whimsical
Heal the palms that bleed, quiver, and convulse from the absence of something to grasp
How do you prevent the soul from relapse
I was there I witnessed the previous state
If it goes there is no coming back, the first time was a miracle escape

A Short

I like you because you are a forbidden possession
I'll bite my lip and think surreptitious thoughts
A fact that continues to fuel this burning obsession
Because you have the delicacy of which i sought
A juicy pleasure which leaks with cognizance of my desire
An oral advocate of something that could take place within the wet realms of the walls of life
I know the perfect place for my pleasures to transpire
All is revealed and no exceptions are made tonight

Questions

Should I experience you today, should I snatch you from the heavens as a filler and dim your internal eternal light? If I experience you, you are now longer my Thou but an It, He or She, thing amongst things; indeed it is inevitable that I experience you and you leave the realm of thou and become it, but does that have to be today? Is the extraction of your beauty necessary, can I just leave you as thou and be contempt with this existence, can I defy my human nature? If the love i have for you dwells between the I and Thou but is the responsibility of the I for the Thou does that mean that I can only be and an I in order to love you? If this is so then that means that I have had to be experienced by you before you love me and for me to love you, and if love does not cling to the I but dwells between the I and the Thou are you sophisticated enough to love me? If "In the eyes of him who takes his stand in love, and gazes out of it, men are cut free from their entanglement in bustling activity. Good people and evil, wise and foolish, beautiful and ugly, become successively real to him; that is, set free they step forth in singleness, and comfront him as Thou."(Buber 28), does that mean that my love for you will rejuvinate you as Thou? Can you distinguish the difference between feelings and love? If "Feelings dwell in man; but man dwells in his love." (Buber 28), do you understand that feelings are intertained and my love can not be, but will come to pass? That "Feelings are metaphysical" (Buber 28). Should I experience you today?
