a song a beat a vocal
tickling the inner ear
a
tune that enables
whistling minutes after
one listening &
on & on for days after,
the melodies &
harmonies that give us
bliss & asking nothing
of us except for each
to delight in the
passing on like stories
of old, like lyrics of
now like images &
tales from the big screen
to the net, from the
comfort in memory of
which we all derive
where the happiest of
times are welded in
with music, simple,
gorgeous, uncompromising,
unobligated &
humble, truly
humble
music,
this sums it all up
like a person one finds
themselves falling in love
with & gets paradoxically
disappointed, simultaneously
because they’ve only
just found them &
wished they had the years
that have already passed to
spend with them,
sheer utter beauty in the
stumbling onto a new
song, a new sound, a new
rhythm, which can jog
similar, if not even more
pure & unadulterated
bliss, opening ones eyes to
a whole new world
brought on by this
exchange of notes &
noise, that which can
bring everyone together,
that which does unite
regardless of time &
place, a welcomed vein
in us all, to which being
completely vulnerable
& emotionally affected
is perfectly alright.

Form: Free verse
Unobligated of entourages for serenity and tranquility
Honest smiles complemented of sincerity creating stability
Withdrawals of ignorance generating wisdom and new gentility
Finally the soul moves freely with a novel sense of mobility
I welcome you maturity
Perceptions no longer create deceptions and inner conflicts within
New meanings of comfortablity under one’s own skin
Unengaged in following corporate America’s oblivious trend
Now I befriend a blend of enlightenment in means to amend
I welcome you maturity
Life has more color in wiser eyes
Things become clearer such as honesty and lies
Seeing pass mine and other personas in disguise
I notice and slightly grin as my levels of realization arise
I welcome you maturity
I Thank God for delivering me from obscurity
No confusion I’m not perfect there still lays impurity
A luta continua meaning the struggle continues
However I continue with a new sense of security
I welcome you maturity
Love & peace/ a luta continua
