Arizona Star

Heat waves dancing atop the freshly laid pavement
Sun burning up skin and crimping our eyes
Flies trying to get in, but I can't save them
Poor little guys can't event realize

Let me welcome everybody to the wild southwest
A state where Wyatt Earp made history
Cities named after the end stone of our mess
Birdcage Theatre forever filled with mystery

Grand Canyons, red rocks, and cacti for days
Amerindian patches etched on the walls
Remembering the place my ancestors stayed
Walk out to go in and hear bald eagles call

Welcome one and all to the place with rays of gold
With one star on our flag, your knowledge is sold
The legendary land which until seen can only be told 
Like our people, the state which can never be cold

Tragedy In Black

TRAGEDY IN BLACK

Damn, folks always have something feverish to say
About darker hues representing the jealousy of ravens
But, in my opinion, there's something even more eery about day
Because lies can hide in the light of these falsified havens 

My favorite type of place to dance is in the shadows
Covered, where not even the mystics can seek me out
Places where not even evil spirits themselves are ever allowed
For white is the only tint that I associate with doubt

Things are seldom what they seem
How bright synagogues and churches only appear in my dreams
This city is my church that I would like to deem
The most honest religion residing inside of me

Don't be afraid, obsession is an understatement,I must say
Light appears brighter in the dark
Who decides the most honest delays
On this journey of which side dominates my heart  

Blame and shame, your destiny is up to you
History tries to tell us that only the abyss creatures aim to attack
But, beings hide more in the white of day, it's true
It's getting old people keep mentioning this fictitious tragedy in black

Demon In White Angel In Black

I could have told those ever close twin sisters that I was listening to their siren-laced warnings. One with locks of raven and the other gold as a gold-studded sun. What an ethereal, dream like haven that these two have chosen to come undone. Listening to me, waiting for me to say something.

                                                   Warnings that fill my ear drums
                                                      Coming to test out my mind
                                              I told them I would listen in silence

One of them is already laughing at me, shilling at every word that I have to say. The other puts her hands on my shoulders and comforts my weak, cringing soul. They both serve the purpose and compliment one another, this I already know. Hear the tones and colors on their influences.

                                            Similar to the two wolves in the tale
                                            One the yin and the other is the yang
                                           Alpha and Omega, constantly circling 

Flowing fabrics laying across both of their beautiful shells. One with bat wings and the other with white doves swaying at her back. I'm sure that you've figured that by now, one from heaven and the other from hell. Listen to me, because they keep on fighting inside my head

                                            Present since the beginning of my life
                                            I have tried to inform new visitors
                                           The Demon in White and Angel in Black

My Limit

I'm sick of this large man telling me what I can't do
A woman in the boxing world, who would've thought
Ditzy blonde even know he can't stand the truth
Being submissive and a victim is something I'm not

People have told me my arms are too big
I'm too muscular, too masculine, and not good enough
But, I never will tell myself which hole to dig
Because I know how to fall in and out of love

My body is bruised, broken, and put through hell
I am dancer, a fighter, a rider, and a poet
No one can tell me opinions about myself
Because I have presence, and I damn sure know it

When I walk into the room, I know you know it
Don't tell me when  and where I belong
I come in to hit and the bags and just show it
This fighting spirit of mine will never be gone

Yes, I am a woman and I get punched and take it
This light of mine...there is no hand to dim it
100% authentic! no knowledge to ever fake it
Only I get to tell myself my limit

I'M So Annoyed

I'm so annoyed...sadly, with everyone else and mostly myself
I'm so annoyed...because I don't want to believe my anger from hell
I'm so annoyed....because I'm simple in I want to just be better
I'm so annoyed...because of what He said in that letter

God told me I have to take tumbling blocks to get stepping stones
He told me that I was strong enough to handle it
However, I could not hear the care and sincerity in His tone
Angry with the world, a grown ass child throwing a fit

I curse at traffic, I have chapped lips
I hate the fact that I'm telling a stranger this
I lost my fourth job, have no money, and was in a car accident
I don't want all of this to happen again

I'm so annoyed because I'm not lying to you
I should've told you I'd be here again
I'm so  annoyed because fact is the truth
I'm the basket of eggs when it comes too sin

Satan and God

Alright, here is my voice right now
And, right here is where I have the truth
My vessel has been caught in the middle somehow
There is something massive I need to explain to you
The walls that we are born with can either channel or fall down
They are built with the ability to perform two tints
It's not a special gift, but a mentality with origins unknown
That allow us to dabble in the paints of good deeds and sin
This freedom of choice that we are granted carves pathways
Some are made of stepping stone and other jagged rocks
In our minds, we invite either the angels or the demons to stay
In that proposal, both types of hands will begin to knock 
Who you choose to open the door for makes the colors of your soul
And what I'm terrified of is that it is both black and white
Things are seldom as simple as silver and gold 
And we as the incarnated need more than Ali boxing gloves to fight
Don't be scared, don't be afraid, but be concerned 
For the two absolutes in this lifetime have the ability to look and nod
You choose the white or black fire in which to get burned
We have direct access to both satan and God

Spirit Monsoon

I'm no Marilyn Monroe, no Megan Fox, maybe a little Del Ray
You have to know the stories inside of my coy stare
If I let you in and let you feel it inside of me, would you want to stay
By God, let my bystanders notice those gypsy eyes with care

I'm no lady, unfortunately; animalistic roar beneath small frames
Hair wild, heart as untamable as the sea
Would you be okay not being able to tame
Any of the spirits residing inside of me

I try to tell you with my eyes
I try to make you see
Please don't be like the other guys
Who tried to take advantage of me 

If I let you in, will you be scared and run away?
Faster than those ancestors of mine that jumped
In your absence, I'm still asking you to stay
I pleaded for those angels of favor, but they don't come

The Angel in Black and the Demon in White
My predecessors, the wolves, and the moon
My whole life, I have tried to hide
All of them in me, brewing a spirit monsoon

Open Wounds

God, we need to talk
Why do I feel like this?
My knees are shattered, my body tattered, and my heart is bruised
And in all my hours on earth, I know I need you 
I need to feel that my days are moving forward
I need to know that you can see
That I want to move toward
All the dreams living inside of me
I feel like I'm on the brink of insanity
But, I'm sure you already know
The depth of red colored vanities 
All this shit that I just can't let go
God  I'm sorry that I don't go to church, but I write these lines
I know I wasn't first, but I'd like some time
Guide me into your feathers 
Promise me that you'll stay
When it comes to these snaps and teachers
Promise you won't turn me away
I don't hate anyone
But, I feel sharp tongues attack
Troll demons holding guns
And leaving open wounds, at that

Mom

My mother is a gypsy, with more than a few secrets
She has a relationship with a few substances
All those dark rooms that began to be lit
Mean nothing now, because of these instances

I wanted her to see herself in the light
I wanted her to listen to me so she could know
The beauty I see in her eyes of night
And the comprehension of freak show

I get it, Mom, life has hurt you worst
Than you ever were expecting it too
Now, the crystals and angels got to you first
And you're lost, you'll never know the truth

Bipolar, schizophrenic, addict of many sorts
I wanted to save you and see you again
And now, I have to let it be God's chore
You have to be the Holy Spirit's friend

Sail

I will always root for the underdog or the person who is never heard. 
Shame on the people with stitches on their ears or staples in their eyes. 
Don't make me want to show you how much it actually hurts. 
To be ignored or to be treated like a devil who cries. 
You may think that you have us all figured out but you're wrong. 
Yes you with your nose glued to the ceiling. 
Who try to make us feel like our importance is gone. 
You think you have a clue that you know how this is feeling. 
Understanding is a steep want I know. 
I'll continue trying even if there's no avail. 
Maybe one day I'll stop letting show. 
But, right now all I can do is let it sail.
