Angel friends...

I don’t want to do anything but understand and I know it’s not MY plan but can’t I at least peek at the blueprint?

Consciousness lends itself to a certain sensitivity. And while I don’t claim to be such, I feel my feelings right now.

Not directly connected but certainly affected.

When my heart aches, my mind goes to work because it’s not yet fit enough to grasp such concepts. The longer I’m ignorant to what’s really going on, the more frightened I become.

Shuffling through my theories; I wonder if I’ll discover the truth.  

The angel of death keeps coming closer and closer, each time grabbing precious jewels, good young people. I should find comfort in knowing that these newly made angels have changed many lives while living theirs to the fullest, creating warm memories for friends and legacies for themselves. Clearly fulfilling their duties to this world and seemingly “ready” to depart from it. Although it may seem that way to us, God calls no man before his time. HE is not cruel or spiteful; but all knowing. Almighty.

I’ve never questioned death and I still am not. I will admit, though, that I am afraid. Fearful because I associate with the same type of people God has called home in recent months. All of my friends are living positively impacting lives…scholars, mentors, members of distinguished organizations, charitable and some even wise beyond their years. I can’t help but to think about the possibility of one of my friends being taken away from me. I have no idea how I would cope with such a tragedy.

The reality is: no matter how hard I try, I’ll never be able to fully understand death. It’s and inevitable part of life that we don’t have to like but we do have to accept. If we’re smart, we’ll take heed from our angel friends and live our lives fully and unselfishly. We can leave this earth at any minute. How do you want to be remembered?

Self Made?

Go Go Gadget
Stop the madness
Abort the sadness
Seen through these 3 dimensional glasses
Men at war
Raging seas,
Rumbling terrain,
Turbulent skies,
Confuse the masses
Yet, churches are empty
…so are the masses
Mosques and temples hear echoes
& all doubters can be found at the bar.

Ultraviolet rays
Laser beam vision
Ultra violence rages in the state of my existence
Tear stains on the face of a princess
Tatted tears on the face of a genius
Smiling faces tell lies
Nobody knows the difference
Jaded commitments
Invaded persistence
Blatant ignorance mixed with nonexistent repentance
& a bold admittance of it all.

At Cruising Altitude

"I wrote this while 30,000 ft in the air, stewardess complimenting me on my nappy hair..." -Kendrick Lamar
Naw, I really did write this on a plane tho. Enjoy :)

What it feels like is nice
What it feels like is right
But...what it feels like is slight
Light, bright and airy
Breezy & carefree
Genuinely effortless connection
Full of affection
Void of deception
Easy not forced
Local; no outsource

What makes it special is what it lacks
And I long for just that
Evolution into what it isn't
But maybe we desire something different
If I had my way
I'd put aside the fear
And tell you how I feel
Doubt would disappear
And we'd be a fairytale...

When I sin with you, it’s heavenly
& for you, I'll save the rest of me
You already light up my days and nights
Light up my life
I'll be your orange moon as long as you promise to shine, pledge to us and be mine
Just say yes and I'm all in
100 percent
I've waited for this and now I can't resist
We've grown let's continue to grow
So much I want to share with you
Care for you
Be there for you.
