I wish for you
A song for each dawn
A melody for each day
Dreams filled with song
A beat for each breath
And music for life
I wish for you
A song for each dawn
A melody for each day
Dreams filled with song
A beat for each breath
And music for life

Says hi!

In those moments of pain
When the raw wounds of my heart
Gush their vivid shades of red
I hold out my hands to feel the
Warm pulsing rivers
And in doing so
I allow myself to connect
To my own bleeding precious
Truth
The brutal truth is that
I view the landscape through
Romanticized spectacles
When the reality is an ocean
Removed from romance
In any shape or form
I am dragged from a
Bottomless ocean
To cough out thick
Slime-coated grunge
And as my body is purged
From a suffocating
Ribbon of weed –
I finally –
I finally am happy



‘Neither will win’, the audience says
Now that the contest starts
For black men move without their heads
And white without their hearts.
‘And if one shall advance’, they said,
‘So much as one short pace,
His fellowmen shall shun him then
A traitor to the race’.
‘You wooden men give up the game,
For what are all these squares
But black and white and black again,
The pattern of your cares?’.
The chessmen quickened into life,
For love has conquered pride,
Those that were angry face to face
Are quiet side by side.
Locked myself tightly within in
I provided no view
But only the darkness inside it
I lived in the dark, I struggled to see
I looked for myself, I couldn’t find me
And then as I gave up
To surrender and die
I felt a strange object
A smooth, solid gold
I pondered, and wondered
What is this to me?
There is a purpose
I know this to be
My dreams came alive
In the blackness of night
Coldness of air have no reason
To fright
I knew right away
I knew what this was
I had found it
My treasure
I had finally found me
I had found what I needed
I found my own key
