Poem - REvival

What is bliss

But effortless, internal smiles

What is Knowing but embracing

the moment

what is longing

but

unfulfilled joys

What is hope

But Faith undeterred

What are insecurities

But the doubt of your Greatness

We all seem to fall

And we all seem

To rise

Lifting up light heads

And wide hearts

Wishful souls

And honest prayers

towards the journey

That, rugged

bare

Sweet and calm

Unmapped

journey

I am weary

Trying not to give up

Worriers worry me more

Than apathy crooners

And I retreat into a quiet room

That calls me into a deep, wreckless sleep

I challenge my tomorrows

With thoughts of you,

thoughts of havens unreached,

thoughts of mistakes to heavy and warm

to detach from

I feel alone

Like a neon-colored

Gray

Void of ministration

and talking to myself seems like an empty mass

Erected against an abandoned mosque

I would like more ink

Driven into my veins

I would like more fire

To distract me from

The pain

Mara and I

Are distant lovers

But she is now old and haggard

Waving her white flag of Traps

we all need to be alone

and learn from

silence

and now as I disappear into the horizon

I wish someone told me more about life

before I

lived it

before I

learned that

everyday is survival

and every heart is not a place of

revival

My upcoming album, #LifeOfAHologram, dropping late summer~

LOve POem to Myself: #3

i am a beautifully expressive

flower pot

i rise to help and solve inner conflicts

I am in love with Growth

I fight with my sibling Discipline

And sometimes neglect her

By forgetting to give her hugs each day

But we forgive and soon

Are playing in the garden of Focus

affectionate ladybug

infatuated with love leafs

kind and gentle

assertive yet caring

radiant every day

in every ray

and when the storm clouds come

i shoot up from the murky waters

like the red lotus

fighting for purity and

Light

believing in the greatness in all beings

I strive to transform the Inner-Mirror daily

To reflect clearly the outer glories

Of my community

I love queens and kings

Pushing through

Painfully consistent in Hope Supreme

I treasure correction

And

Water

And

The sun

And renewal

And

rebirth

Desert Fish

i am an outlaw

i am an shakra insurgency

i am a widowed window

withering broken tunes

in front of an audience of

6 billion

i am a bottle

swimming in the ocean of

Discipline

Landing against the shores of

Decision

beckoning to be found

by

Chance

i am a doodlebug

scribbling scripts of scriptures

to be recited by singing sailors

sacrificing sanity

for sanctity

i am a long island

leper

piecing together puzzles pierced

by pouring purchases

of sun

and rain

i am an umbilical chord

wrapped around the neck

of warped warriors

whispering wishes of

wandering waste pans

in the jungle of

perdition

pure potent pungent

peace

is what I transform into

after dawn though

drowning out doubt

like a dying desert fish

right before the Figures

find phonographic faces

facing far east

that announce assanine

assessments

of articulate angered angels

in the storm

looking for

a pair of

antennas

Love Supreme - Poem

I am so very thankful

for pain

for the opening

and the closing

for the windows and the masquerades

and

for the temple of blessings

that I walk through

everyday

life is a grand echo

of all that we allow ourselves to exist in

energy reflections of who we are

you don’t get what you want

you receive what you GIVE

I am in love with peace,

And apples,

And friendships that are quirky, and kind, and non-judgmental,

And oversaturated with

Communication

It’s ok to be who you are

I love who I am

Let us continue

To embrace

The light within

And remember the embers of hope,

Compassion, honesty, and courage

When we sit around the camp fires of each moment

In breath, movement, and speech

we are all castle-builders

reaching up

marching inside, marching inward

rockin out!

to an anthem called

“Love Supreme, love supreeeeme, love supreme, loooooove, supreme, doo dee dah dah dah dah…”

Golden Light Bucket Parade Beacon Coat - Poem

What I wanted to say

I don’t remember

What I am saying is that

I am letting go

Of strife

Of attachment to delusional, quicksand commitments

The effort

The triangle

The big obtuse

WrenBabyLoveBucketSun

The high of the week: black dynamite + chamomile tea

Low of the week: the pearl in embers

Center: gratitude

Life is changing

I am becoming her

The windscape I’ve always wanted to become

The embrace is sweet

The peace is monumental

Love is holding my hand

And her hand is warm

And consistent

And calm and

Honest

And communicative

And I have fallen into a bed

Of lilies

Looking up at the sky

Sending up thankfulness

And rainbow love energy thoughts

For the whole world

To ignite their fires

Together

As One Cheyo Circle

To see the bucket of Golden Light

Within
