Can I

Can I talk to you on a real
Like I don't know you
Like you're not you and I'm not me
Or maybe we are who we are
But with no history?

Can I talk to you on  real?
You not feel as if you know
and me not feel as I know we would.

Can we say goodbye to pains
That stain our mental veins,
And choke our emotional parts?

Can I start at "Hello, I'm Latoya"
And you can start at "Nice to know ya?"
Can I be your friend so true,
that at times when you are O, so blue,
you know who you can turn to?

Can this be a moment in time,
when all fades to the black of night,
and you are you
and I am me?

Where the past remains but only as a memory.
A reminder that life is so fragile,
and so are we.

Can I call out to you in the street,
As we meet and greet?
Will you look at me one day in time and remember that I am good enough,
Will you look at me one day in time and see what you have looked so hard to see?

So read this now,
Now read it again.
Burn this note and all pains will end!!

A consciousness drive

A consciousness drive!
A Rasta man rants and an Indian man chants.
True feelings locked in one's self and a board away from the broader way,
Rasta man rants, I feel it, I feel it in my soul.
Deep and depths, life and death,
Thinking, thinking, what to do?

Where did it end or better yet, where did it begin
Rasta man rants while the Indian man chants
Brothers, lovers, strangers, friends
True to we-self and no one else,
Unity in colour, freedom from race,
Brothers, lovers, strangers then friends.

So when they come to us with talk of discord, though some may exist,
it isn't in all of us.
For we are brothers, lovers, strangers that became friends.
So while this Rasta man rants and the Indian man chants let the drummers, drum and the dancers dance,
dance that dance of real unity
As the Ganges meets the Nile!

This is how it is!

"Until The End Of Time"

Listen

Woke up this morning
Heard the TV sayin' something
'Bout disaster in the world and
It made me wonder where I'm going
There's so much darkness in the world
But I see beauty left in you girl
And what you give me let's me know
That I'll be alright

'cause if your love was all I had
In this life
Well that would be enough
Until the end of time
So rest your weary heart
And relax your mind
Cause I'm gonna love you girl
Until the end of time

You've got me singing
Oh whoa, yeah
Oh whoa, yeah
Everybody sing
Oh whoa, yeah
Everybody singing
Oh whoa yeah

Now if you're ever wondering
About the way I'm feeling
Well baby girl there ain't no question
Just to be around you is a blessing
Sick and tired of trying to save the world
I just want to spend my time with you girl
And what you're giving me
Let's me know that we'll be alright.

'cause if your love was all I had
In this life
Well that would be enough
Until the end of time
So rest your weary heart
And relax your mind
Cause I'm gonna love you girl
Until the end of time

You've got me singing
Oh whoa, yeah
Oh whoa, yeah
Everybody sing
Oh whoa, yeah
Everybody singing
Oh whoa yeah

This one's for the lovers
If you're out there let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
This one's for the lovers
If you're out there let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
This one's for the lovers
If you're out there let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
This one's for the lovers
If you're out there let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah)

Oh whoa yeah
Oh whoa yeah
Oh whoa yeah
Oh whoa yeah

'cause if your love was all I had
In this life
That would be enough
Until the end of time

Sighz

So a smile and a touch,
A day made in heaven but lived out on earth.
I wait for you to exhale,
So I can inhale all of you.
Oh to breathe,
Oh to breathe you.
Waiting on your breath to save me,
Save me from the Edge of fragility.

I crave the days that bring me closer to you,
To an eternity of smiles and laughter.
To a joy never to leave but only get better,
To a life making great memories.

Rushed thoughts or time taken to think?
Knowing me, it's been building, festering under the cover of my mind,
Waiting for a moment to burst forth!

To be completed...

YOU

How can you be so perfect

And yet so annoying,

So caring...

And yet so distant,

So loving

And yet so irritating

So Patient

And yet so hasty

How can I miss you when

I don't even know you,

Your voice beckons to me

Your laughter enlightens my soul

You make me feel like...well like pure gold.

How can I love you when I don't even know you?

Why do I think about you,

More than twice a day?

I'm so attached to you

So drawn

My wantonness is unexplained,

with every breath.

There's the hope to hear your voice,

To see your smile

To touch your fingers

Your lips and nose,

I miss you so much

And still I don't want you so much...

Thoughts unstoppable

Words unspoken but actions taken,
Lets be wise to the sights we see and the things we hear.
Slow to react but swift to learn,
Just in time and with good cause.
Saved by the bell or was it lost,
Consciously unconscious.

Words unspoken but what's in your thoughts?
Ponder that, then answer this,
 Where did you come from and where did you go?

Heights of the highest and thoughts of the quickest,
Slow to speak but quick to learn.
Light as feather and lights so bright,
Truest visions of signs so right.

You may not know but damn! you're right!

Discord :s

I love music, it speaks to the depths of my soul.
I like to think it's because of my rich heritage, true, I am no African
I am a Trinibagonian, but at times the journey my ancestors traveled,
The experiences they share, the good, the bad, the times they fought and fighters they were, real warriors on the battlefield of life.

So I listen to music, cause for the life of me, and a few others hahaha I cannot sing or play an instrument of the Western acceptance(Rastaman bun dung Babylon heh heh heh)
Then came you the dancer to the drumming of my heart,
The smile that illuminates rooms,
Sweeping your way through all the blocks I've thrown up
Managing the obstacle course as easy as Sunday morning.
Interesting isn't it? Amazing isn't it?

Did not expect the fun and laughter but I'm open to the smiles,
Thanks from me to you, the dancer to my heart.
Songs played, dances danced and now the night is over,
Slowly the reality crept back to me, this is all a dream.

You are not here, there is no song, no music and my heart is naught but a heart,
It beats. I live. No drumming comes from within.
The sun fades to the dark of night and the winds, once a warm embrace is now a cold slap to the face.
Waking up to the reality, that all was but a dream.

A dream I say! All a dream!

Ranting, Raving, Lunatic or Is it?

Ever been weary of the 'same old shit, different day' feeling?

I have, quite frankly I am.

I've been played, played like a motherfuckin' game,

Harsh reality, but as it's said repeatedly 'that is life'ha!

Like a moth to the flame, I was drawn to your lies,

Like a child to a role model, I believed all you said, but hey, 'that's life'

Psycho, feeling all crazzy, dizzy wanna rap like Jezzy!

Mad skills on the mic and you can't phase me...

Then I'm phased lol, but guess what 'that's life'

So off with the bullshit and all the dependency, 

Didn't need you before and well, you know how it goes...don't need you now.

Walked up, chest high, Manning like, good man he is, honest he is...or is he? hmmmm

David Rudder's Chant of a Madman spoke it all and in those moments should have been the resonating song in my mind.

But like a moth to a flame, I was drawn to your lies

And like a child to his role model, I believed it all

That's life, no, thats the life of a sucker and I dont claim it.

You say it, you live by it!

I make my dreams and only I can break them!

So to you, Politician I humbly and respectfully say FUCK U cause I'm through!

P.S I write how I want, my lack of proper structure, is in itself my structure!

Thanks
