Ups and Downs

Dark days, the ecilpse
I'm like an owl
Asking who?
Deep in the astral's...
Mind of wisdom and,
I slit that serpent into two!
Right and left parts,
Forming vessels of man and woman 
My membranes splitting  
Neurons swift-ing, reconnecting,
And I hymn, humming 
Hummingbird flying...
Early in the morning, 
And the sun luminous, gloom!
Lucid dreams to vivid images
5th gear in tune,
From cars to spaceships too mars!
Traffic jams: I skipped breakfast...
Red lights beaming to sirens
Alerting me too soon!

Remembering waking up 
From a nightmare,
As my dreams were to mere!
Dark days: moon light shining
Lonely and so low,
Wearing white sheets to Ghost busting:
Capturing my shadows...
And Shouting whooo!

To all black: like crawls
Creepy, freaky too...!
Keeping keys and owning lands
From locksmith to will smith
"I can go on"... hitting keys,
To feeling jade and my will low,
So I seemed blue!
Knowing jay be behind rocks,
Catching bees for honey:
And grizzlies growling: 
can't bare the pain!
Licking the sweetness all around
To falling asleep on the ground,
wearing black, rebelling like a goat,
Grass eating, to high mountains for
Fine fields: lime green and yellows; 
To being pampered, high up...
Make-up so dark,
To shouting black is beautiful, 

A black panther!
Deep in the jungle fighting 
For my survival to challenging the king 
So we all live like royalty:
The Kingdom of my dreams-
to dwell in freedom, and free will
So I write in liberty:
knowing its out of liability,
For you-man-needy...
So I keep on giving!
The love I have for my people-
country, nations like Shakespeare's novels,
Just without the tragedy...!
