-faded albums 11-19-06

black and white albums
what happened to the colour
grab some paint
pick up a roller
drain the rainbow
stop the rain
let the wind blow
refrain from hate
just let it go
when relaxed
brains collapse
float freely
go dreamy
treat sweetly
package neatly
and make another
colours come back
with every good act
so step back
keep track
and gather fact
beyond fiction
so surreal
our energy
is something no one can steal

you have a rep button. and so do other people. it seems only the "strangers" dont have one.

I call this one "ode to poetry"

got published recently, performed w/J.Ivy from def jam recently at a university, and i've won several shows since I started doing open mic's in march. I've always written but did it as a form of therapy for myself...but now that i'm sharing it, here's one i wrote about poetry

(it's about how poetry is always there for me, through good times and bad...and how "the pen always understands me" since writing is therapeutic for me)

when joyfullness illuminates life like a beam
inspiration ensues and flows free like a stream
when chaos echos response to my questions
the answers are written as poetic lessons
when emotion prevails and i'm tangled and grief
pen and paper restore the greatest relief
when tragedy strikes and i'm lost in despair
when my heart can't repair and nobody's there
when distraight by motives that cloud my view
like fog on a mountain or morning dew
when intangible secrets are trapped from release
and can't be conveyed to others through speech
or when i deem my own words incomplete or uncanny
i find solace in truth that my pen understands me

pretty sick :P

thanks guy, i've enjoyed reading everybody's poems, keep writin dudes n dudettes !!



As reality transcends space and time
communication is flawed yet thoughts reign divine
minutes morph into hours and hours last days
eternities pass in euphoric haze
as music and dance harmonize intertwined
vivid colors and patterns prance through my mind
yet suddenly entranced with thoughts so profound
that senses elude all distractions around
my mind and spirit float free like the breeze
and leave endless questions branched out like trees
surroundings dictate my mood at the moment
so i alter my setting so I can control it
but i change my setting to gauge the effect
i've grown used to this high so i explore new depths
and though my brain remains tricked and tickled
the realm eventually fades like calm water ripples


(about tripping on mushrooms haha)

hello new growth. I enjoyed you're poem, here is one for you that I have always enjoyed.
Desiderata*

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Thanks, that is one of my favorite poems!! There is a musical adaptation by lazyboy, you should look it up.
