From the Heart

Hear that?... It is the sound of the beat. Of course one may say... but it's all so sweet. Guh - guh - guh- guh... such a rhythmic beat. Not to run on, so from the heart I'll speak. Friends can often become foes in disguise. Phony, deceit, jealousy, behind lying eyes. Tough situations can touch sort of  deep... I'll just be myself, true to you, until drama defeats. Toleration is ok. Only human I am... and a limit? Never sets... yet it falls accordingly and adjusts. Censorship and Dignity is sometimes a must. Familiar? Just toying a bit. Now seriously, Family is center of Life, Universe sent. There's no personal choice or picking. Blood is family, just that, and sometimes one takes mental lickings. Regardless of disowning, ignoring, or just plain nonchalant... DNA permanently connects. Even a little. No need for a lot. Moments shared together can be happy and joyous when laughing and talking to family, one trusts. Not needless to dredge up a topic feared by most. Well maybe... only one opinion, can't point to all folks. Commitment, relationship, marriage, and... ready... "LOVE". Can have one running in circles, taking an occasional plunge. Ins, outs, ups, and downs, all has its share. One half may abandon this nature and one-half feels it's unfair. Hug me, kiss me, compliment me, and all the condiments do include. When love is sincere, a willing heart won't elude. From the heart. True and straight forward is where I aim. From the heart. I am me. You are you. Irrelevancy here, is in a name.

Flow Together

• We don't have to be overly loud… We don't have to be ratchet… We can make Our voices heard… Amongst One Another, let's bury the hatchet… Let's join hand wills and the bond demand… Let's up meet that, as together, WE stand. There's only Greatness to come, if WE just attempt… To not ever try, is the only fail. One smiles toward another as a gesture of respect… What's the ill look for? Then be so happy and eager to grin in… The other faces… Not painted or in likeness of One's own traces. (Sigh) Eye extend Self to step up and say with depth… that… Eye love you and there's no way, I'd ever give up! With understanding, undemanding, yet persistence. Knowing firsthand the struggles and images we've been given. Not to remain stagnant and stuck in the same… Chasing of waterfalls and standing the rain… That's not Our drive and best option. Going ahead to it, with tenacity and final action. Easier said than done? Thou can choose… not to use it…  it only holds one back. We're soaring forward and higher, without feeding One's slack… feelings of inferiority and the need to fit in… to become consumed, upon feeding trend.

Off Top Flow

Boom! One falls! Best jump right back up on your feet! Hurry now, because the world has evolved to dog eat... Well you know the persistent antagonizing and sly grins. The pleasure that's felt by another, when your ripped up, within! Better stand strong now, and keep hold of your soul! Those who thrive off your pain... Too much power they hold. Better hurry up, now, they're getting close... Build your own path, so this way, you walk on your own course. That will bring solidity and keep away the soul leeches.
Leaving space and light to welcome those of GREATNESS.

Thee Chameleon

The real adjustment to several situations, trials, environment changes, constant mistreatment. From the jungles of Africa to the ever-changing American soil. The beatings, disrespect, undue punishment, pure hate. Instilled in Thee Chameleon through it all, is undying strength, love, rhythm, and character.  Unbeknownst to those who shove the majority of uh... drug use, guns, even murder upon Thee Chameleon to the highest extreme. As Thee Chameleon, keep in mind: Your individuality, self love, respect, extreme strength, both physical and mental. Stand strong and know Thee Chameleon, be We, standing tall, adjusting to all, and conquering what Thee soul is destined to do.

Only One Knows Thy Heart

To take baby steps... stumbling on the way. May fall on your bottom, several times… each day. Just a dibble maybe a dabble to ease into truth. Fetus, to infant, to toddler, to preteen, to teenager, run right into adult. Hood. Wait, I must pause… Remembering shadows of non existence in the physical. Circumstances do occur and nothing or something may or may not be the blame. Hold thy head up high, look forward to the future and make... not to pause again, but make... Total creation and control of one's mind. Think about it... as one develops thoughts one-of-a-kind. Curve balls, strikeouts, fouls and fumbles. Life carries all… without instructions to mumble. Though not the actual game.... Or game is it? One knows or knows not, yet steady to win... oh... that word again? Win as knowledge of one's truth. Anxiety, fatigue, nausea, may play, yet one's strength pulls through. Time goes on, days drag on, months move quickly... years? As if to say, may add up and seem to disappear... not in an unable to see manner. No... transparent as light one may fall under. Always to drown is only a myth, all differ as people, no exact shape or width. Like night and day... what has thou noticed thus far? Only One, Knows Thy Heart.

Gift of Love

Now... as I open my mouth to let out my voice to say-sing a truth. Gift of love his oh so powerful and is held, high above. All who knows it, shows it, like a guiding light... rather it be dark and cold or warm with sunlight. Smile worth more than any antique, diamond, dollar value, at all... cannot outweigh this love, by far… Just like a shining star... physical, mental, spiritual... gift of love has it all. Deep within one's soul and flesh, needs to be loved... so I do my best. Times can be and even may become hard… and problems... they're all a part of life, yet, together, we'll solve them. As I hold my heart and extend it to you... always on point, knowing what it is, that I have to do. Gift of love allows me to reach deep within... grasping onto what is pure and true to win... Win as a feeling of most precious treasure. Gift of love it is, and nothing measures. Above or below, for the gift of love knows, all is unique. Gift of love gives me strength, when I feel internally weak. Look inside one's self and I'm sure you'll find, a gift of love, that feels just fine. A gift of love may come within ones, twos, threes... different ways, shapes, times, yes... all of these. A gift of love I've found and we all have it naturally. A Gift of Love like Mine, Like Any... makes Life Happy.
