Blessed New day
A
new
day
rises
replacing
the old one
bringing its own
minerals, jewels
to inspire
to nourish
to bless
to feed
your mind
your heart
your soul
determined by
your being here
in the present
the here
the there
that exist now
so resist not
open your
hands
mind
heart
soul
on this
new
day!

Romeo passing on
Juliet my dearest
thy shall not forget you
in this realm and the one i stand upon
i see the light coming blessed with your love
for you i carry a valley of roses and other blooms
for you i will die a thousand more times
only to be resurrected by your love
over and over till the end of time
in you i live and so do you in me
unseparable conjoined twins
breathing with one heart
with a heart beat
thrice louder
than that
of King Solomon
its message
in it
though it
all of it
we we rule it
within the marrows of love
even though i may be passing on Julliet.

am thanksgiving and i am gone
I am thanksgiving and i am gone
So I Thanksgiving came and went
I was last seen on yesterday's doorstep, promising to return next year
but before I left it did leave some treats behind:
...remember the love that you shared when I was there
...remember the all the food that you shared and ate together
...remember all those who were with you or the ones who could not be with u
...remember my name and why you invited me into your homes and lives
...remember me not for the turkeys, sports, Black Friday and promotional gimmicks.
Honor me by remaining thankful always for:
+ the air and the spirit that is in you
+ the loves in your lives that make you smile
+ being there for yourselves and others
+ through all acts of love and kindness
+ seizing the day whilst you inhale positivity and exhale negativity
+ hold me close to your heart with each day and you will find bliss
I am thankful that i met most of you on this day and the love you showed me, that i shall always treasure and cherish. In case you forget to remember me everyday, i shall return next year with a bang...I thank the One above and FB for the platform..
Signed : Yours Truly Thanksgiving!

LETS FLUSH OUT THIS CANCER CALLED VIOLENCE
WHICH IS DESTROYING OUR HOMES AND LIVES FROM WITHIN...
Peoples lives have been and are being scarred

LETS ACT NOW, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE,
LETS UNITE, NOW AND SAY NO TO VIOLENCE
LET THIS MOMENT OF SILENCE BE GOLDEN...
Jack hit on, the LIGHT SWITCH!!!

Loss of a loved one through death.
Loss of a loved one through death
Losing someone you love through death can have several devastating effects on the ones left behind. Some may wish that it could have been better if they themselves would have died in the place of the loved one who is now gone. Moving on or forward is always a difficult thing for those left behind who find it difficult to cope with what I would term their new reality( it may take time but eventually they will come to realize that the other person is no more and there is nothing they can do to bring them back)…
What to do in the event of such a loss and how you can move on remains a puzzling thought and is never the same from one person to another coz though we may lose a loved one through similar circumstances we never feel in a similar way and it can also not be predicted.
Below are a few things which can help you to move on, but I assure you it will not been an easy journey but it may help you come into terms with your ordeal and steer your on to your path to recovery. The path to recovery can be short or long depending on the individual involved, support around them and how close they were to the deceased.
You have to get back to reality and acknowledge that things have changed, that person is no more and that has brought about a new picture, a new reality.
You have to accept that what has happened is terrible, you might not have seen it coming but there is nothing you can do to unwind the clock
Your world has crushed but you are not the first one to lose a loved one and certainly you won’t be the last. Knowing this makes you are aware of people who have gone through similar circumstances or situations.
Yes it hurts like hell, but you are still alive and you owe it to be alive to yourself, your children, your parents or friends (in short to all those who are close to you and beyond).
You have to make a choice eventually to move forward… you see you cannot go back to what used to be, you can not stay also where you are at now, so the only option is moving on , moving forward( still it will not be easy)
Be part of something new be it an activity, a group, a new friendship or a new job. Old places, old things remind you of what used to be which no more is. Being part of something new gives you an opening or a new beginning (new way of living), it could give you a new perspective on life and other issues.
Maintain your old friends… maintaining your old friends will give you a shoulder to cry on coz they know you more and they understand better than anyone else what has happened to you and what you are going through.
It’s true that you feel beyond hurt, but try to dig deep within yourself in search of the desire to live. Looking at the positive things that you have done or achieved since your loss could be a starting point.

WHEN THE HEAVENS OPENED UP
The heavens opened up
and from the clouds
a voice was heard...
"This is my Son
the way
the truth
the life
the axis
that links
this world here
and the one above
He is like no other
for He was with Me
when all began
listen to Him
follow Him
Drink from Him
all who are thirsty in spirit
all who are sick
all who are troubled
all who have sinned
for you all and more
I have sent the best part of Me
My one and only Son
I and Him are One
for without one
you don't have the other
each strand of hair on him is royal
upon His head he wears a majestic crown
the world is yet to see
that makes Him the Chief King
and yet he will be treated like a thief
that will be so
to fulfill
that which was written"
With those words said
the heavens sparkled with immense light
and life was never the same!!!

TO THE POWER OF X ( An Excerpt from Heart Songs - Poetic Verses From The Heart)
Remember when each one of us is born, we are baby queens and baby kings...
our destiny is to become queens and kings...
so let me boost you up, you must rise up...
get up, head up lets head to the mountain!!!
Enjoy my poem:
To the Power of X ( An Excerpt from Heart Songs - Poetic Verses From The Heart):
I am a reincarnation of Shaka the Zulu and Malcom X
with each word I raise my spear and shield
I call to the people of color to rise up
so many years lost in time translation
when we failed as a people and a nation
get up, head up, way up the mountain
let your cry and voice be heard across the globe
each act and every move you make or take
raise it to the power of X

TAINTED, INTOXICATED OXYGEN
Something is wrong
with the oxygen
that we breathing
so much vibes
got me thinking
what is wrong
so much said
and little done
who will care
if one speaks
nobody is listening
its now routine
if i hate u
i ignore u
angry u become
no more peace
fiends in friends
release the hounds
they gotta piss
down on you
on those sneakers
Nike, hell no
take a hike
my words spike
those ear-drums
making you wanna
grab the headphones
that you gotta
the other option
go walk out
take a stroll
out there somewhere
smell the roses
ditch the coke
you fully grown
no more milk
you got weaned
no blame game
you are warned
accept the defeat
you know what
nothing adds up
were are breathing
tainted, intoxicated oxygen
grab gas masks
coz we gotta
Seize the day

HEAR THE CALLING
Hear the calling
let it plant seeds
of knowledge
that will
awaken things
deeply embedded
at the core
of your being
that will drive you
to a sphere
over and about
that which you
understand
with the eyes
of the self
that
have become
accustomed
to hypothetical
ideals
some of which
are based on
hypocritical faiths
televised
within
the daily clip
to blind you
through lack
of critical
ropes that
act as an
axis mundi
to link
the physical
to the spiritual
magnetic field
in your life
in which lies
the answer
to the question
Why are you born
into this world,
only to die from
this world?

TAINTED ROLE MODELS IN DA HOOD, GOT ME SEARCHING FOR ROLE MODELS IN HOLLYWOOD
Tainted role models in da hood
got me tripping, falling and smoking
a-one, a-two a-three spliffs
making me, leading me,
to soar, to take wing
to an all time high
with each huff and puff
and i start to seek
the man in the mirror
to no avail, for i wear a veil
becoming a mask
that is wanting me
to be something
i am not
so i make and take
a-four, a-five a-six
large pulls of da spliffs
and i huff and puff
with a double vision
forcing me
to be
my own hostage
lost in an ally
in the ghetto hood
hearing blues and souls
from ancient bar
that survived Katrina
and if feel the
cavity of my chest
surrender and
is caving in
and i see
clip of my life
rolling before
my eyes
and i start to choke
so instead of getting an inhaler
i make a quick one more spliff
and i pull one after another
a-one a-two and one more pull
i loose consciousness
when i regain composure
i see myself stand at the pearls gate
and i see the arch angel
he calls me in and and says
tainted role models in da hood
got you tripping, falling and smoking
now you looking for roles modes
in the pull of a-one a-two a-three spliffs
making you, leading you
to search for role models in Hollywood!

Heart Songs - Elevating Minds
With blinkers coming into existence
the poet's world moans and groans
making it shrink and the poet think
how one must react to the new reality
the field has become farrow one must till
so armed with emotions the poet grabs his quill
with it he ploughs rhythmically on dosages of ink
that surely will make his audience blink as they think
is this poet still within the borderline deemed to be sane
so many words will form and excite bubbles in their minds
as they realize that the poet was never is not at all insane
but simply on a quest to cultivate and elevate the minds

Seek Nothing That
Seek Nothing That
seek nothing that
hurt you and others
for it will bring hate
seek nothing that
separates people
for it brings jealousy
seek nothing that
leads to discrimination
it makes u racist nut
seek nothing that
disturbs the peace
it leads to conflict
seek nothing that
that makes no sense
it makes you an idiot
seek nothing that
you do not need
use what you have !

DANCE AS DAWN COMES
When the hour is right in response to the universal ticking
the sun, wakes up as the universe becomes a hive of new activity
thrusting the dawn of a new day on all creatures, great and small
which exude a warm carpet of rainbows full of blessings and miracles
to bless the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful,
the poor and the rich signaling to them, of the arrival of a time to finish old moves
and learn new moves and just dance...dance...dance, as they take to the dance floor ...LIFE !!!

JUST LIKE THE SUN
Just like the sun
I want to shine
To both my friends and enemies
The poor and the rich
The believers and the atheists
The smart ones and the dumb ones
The heroes and the villains
The hunters and the sitting ducks
The masters and the slaves
Heads or tails it won't matter
For my job is to shine
Throughout all the ages
Which may be lost in time!
