I’m sick of the noise
I’m sick of the noise
Despair has me ill
I’m sick of the noise
Life has me confused
I’m on edge, I’m in lose
I ill and detained
I’m ill and I’m drained
I’m sick of myself
I’ve recently given up
Music is medicine for the soul
The birds of the air
Angels from heaven
Share
Come play wit me
In harmony
The songs of the wind
Each and every heart beats
The flow is sweet
We can’t retreat
Language and feelings of negativity
The storms of the life challenges complexity
Come pray wit me
In harmony
The sonnet of the tornadic scene
Battering eyes hurting vessels
Un learnt lessons
The birds of the air
Angels from heaven
Share
Come play wit me
In harmony
The songs of the wind
Each and every heart beats
The flow is sweet
Come unto me
And receive the beauty of ….
Music is medicine for the soul
Now I’m sweet fully complete
Delivered and whole
Music is medicine for my soul

I’M GON WALK—ANNIE WALTZ--
I am gonna walk
I’m gonn tha walk
Grasp hold of ya
Annie walks
With the movement of the clouds
Her sweet mellow whispers
Showering tip-toes
She really moves to the fingering of the ivory keys
She really, really, really moves me
I am gonna talk
I’m gonn talk to her wit mine heart
Grab hold of her attention
And love her a lot
Annie walks
Annie talks
She walks in dignity flight
As a butterfly, fluent, fluent, fluent she’s alright
I am gonna walk
I’m gonn tha walk
Grab hold of ya
Annie walks
With the movement of the clouds
Her sweet mellow whispers
As I hold her hand,
We walk the land
We smile our hearts talk
I’m gon walk

From anthology #1 SHASTA JAZZ Dedicated verse for Shasta Simms
Jazz a Little Later
Unforgettable the feelings of such right
Astonishing pleasant evening nights
Hollow are the darkest shadows
All that really ever matters
Is that when we’re gone, so, so long
~
It won’t be long, for we’re settle
All that is better
When we leave it up to Him
If by chance I bid you a do
I’ll see you later in a vivid dream view
Upon this closing night bliss dim
I leave you a little better
Until the dawn, new days light…
Jazz you a little later

Shasta Jazz dedicated verse for Shasta Simms Antholigy #1
In my recommendation of my syncopation
Gathering of humanoids rhythmic sensations
copulation dramatization rescape Rufus reggae beats
Ginuwine Drumline rat a tat tat
attack on this yet you're all that
Blilighten crest muscles flex
myself being sweet to myself
I can release by myself
when I'm by myself
I am the glory of the rhythm person above and below dancing in the streets walking
Attuned yet sleeping awaken in summers dream
I witness
as I write this
Boom a bout' a bing drum beat
Tis beat mi rhythm my
Mine boom ta bangity crept
As I, write a beat to myself
Booya
He so loves me
He so loves me
He so loves me
Me He so loves
He so loves me
He so loves me
He so loves me
In Him I am so loved, by
Truth be told, there is no other
No man whom could full-fill my void
I am His and He is mine we’re together our;
A love
Agape
Ever so wonderful
Permanent
Articulate
Ne’ver Volatile, but always, beautiful,
Hallelujah
I am His and He is mine we’re together our;
A love
Agape
Ever so wonderful
And in beyond my soul, He so loves me;
And in beyond my soul, He so loves me;
He just, He does, better than, anyone else can;
He just do,
He just so do,
Better than anyone my Father He so do loves me, true

Shoutin shouting, shouting shouting
Emotional confusing
I left my heart eyes blinded
I felt the breath of my words enervating
I just can’t drink a cup of water
While my heart is starving
So much am I craving the lust of myself?
Listen, listen, listen
Listen, listen to my heart sadden
Shoutin, shouting, pouting
Shouting, shouting, shouting

Capture by them sounds
I was caught up
Axed chained up beat
just dancing slave, dancin to tha beat
~
enthralled capture in retreat
peepers and rocks boulders
climbing hugging broad shoulders
just dancing slave, dancin to tha beat
~
I was captured caught
In slaved by the
...rhymes call a drum
~
drum beat away from
a tribal warring brawl
who am I chance

Why am I entranced
mid the entrance
I am movin
just dancing slave, dancin to tha beat
~
Sultry grovin
synchronization move or bust
move at best
just dancing slave, dancin to tha beat
~
I am captive to
the rhymes rhythm beat
Dancing slave
~
and I'm shackle to my feet
dancing to tha beat
we're just dancing slave, dancin to tha beat
