Songs of the Month // July 2018

tears after laughter,

and tears in my wares,

where worn out blown out roundabouts seem to loop around,

we step outside ourselves to acknowledge what seems oh so profound,

found absurdities within novelties of what’s defined as normalcy,

seein’ this world through new lenses and feelin’ tremendous,

it’s splendid, spinning around endlessly,

it’s splendid spendin’ 6 hours lost within’ four walls ontologically,

spendin’ 6 hours squakin’ squeakin’ speakin’ talkin’ non stop chronophobically,

don’t stop,

just wait,

pause, wait for me,

pause, could you repeat that please?

pause, just lay with me,

hand in hand with fingers that intend to interlock,

lo-fi conversations where we share our monologue,

here we lay, safe in one another’s arms,

exposed, i’m disarmed,

exposed, you see me for who i am,

opposed to leaving so much undisclosed,

juxtaposed, poised alongside all timelines – er, time loops,

pointing out patterns, how is this world so connected and yet so scattered?

how is this world so connected and yet so shattered?

between flat earth and fake moons,

and fake news,

but what’s new,

we ask ourselves after trip ups,

sippin’ on itty bitty giddy giggles that turn to tear trickles,

trippin’ and spillin’ milk, moo moo moo,

this universe is moot moot moot,

utterly muttering, keeping composure even when reality seems to be stuttering,

replaying,

repeating,

deceiving,

deception, no wonder we subject this world to inspection,

glad we both value taking time out for a little reflection,

though i’m still deflectin’ mirrors,

at least until the glass gets clearer,

at least until

at least until

Songs of the Month // February 2018

blarin’ instrumentals,
barkin’, bitin’, recitin’ what’s on my mental,
meant to repent to repeal to reveal how i really feel,
shoot i don’t even know what’s really concealed,
open up pandora’s box when i spit it, trip it,
rap so fast i get tongue twisted, flip it,
playin’ lyrical twister with my mister as i remain a mystery to myself,
word bank, rich w/ ideas that keep me from quittin’ it,
kitten, purr purr purrfect, cuddly cozy,
cheek’s are rosey, hormone’s oxytocin,
pep washin’ over me in tides when we lock eyes,
dopamine? you’re dope, i mean,
serotonin, adrenaline, but we stay chillin’,
illin’, baller,
aww your,
so sweet, so neat,
so c’mon let’s lay down another funky beat,
beatin’ hearts conduct their own rhythm,
umm,
i’m singin’ outta key now,
slowly losin’ the illusion of perfect harmony with these piano keys, ow,
voice cracks as my consciousness slips,
slippin’ slidin’ off to a dream,
seamless, easy to confuse the two realities when you reside behind my eyelids,

so c’mon, freestyle awhile,
smilin’ for awhile and,
shoutin’ out rolled down windows, what’s good?
goodly gobbledygook, ook,
ah ha ha, now i’m just playin’ round with these lines,
playin’ ’round, well rounded,
feeling grounded, feeling sound and,
feeling you, feelin’ this playlist, too,
play it w/ me, play w/ me, stay w/ me

 

xo v day 2018 xo

from late night walks to rose colors, 
vibrant, you vibrate vibes like no other, 
other shades and hues fuse,
dull, monochromatic, often unimaginative blues, 
blew me away only to pull me draw me in closer, 
close your eyes or let your gaze stay, 
stay, please stay for days,
days seem to blend, 
mix mix mister mister mix mix,
kick it kick it, sweet as pixie stix, stable, secure, and familiar as white picket fences,
calculate expenses, 
checkin check out checkin out checkin accounts, 
accounting for, 
moving forward,
onward we go, 
where will we go,
explore with me, 
irrevocably and unconditionally i adore thy

 

 

 

Early Bird

early bird,

what’s the word?

chirp chirp,

barely heard,

hurdling – nah, soarin,

not snorin despite it bein’ early mornin,

mournin’ night skies, dim the lights in favor of the sun right,

sunlight, sun rays,

off four days plus two so we – as in me plus you – been goin off for days,

double trouble in their own little bubble hey,

chirp chirp,

what’s the dirt?

earth & worms,

wigglin’ wrigley’s gum – gummy,

got butterflies all up in my tummy,

as we grow chummy,

as we grow,

i soar, you blossom,

this is not a time for laying down and playing and possum,

pause, um,

i need a moment to scan my mental dictionary,

inspired, transcribe my ideas through imagery,

imagining, i’m drifting as i’m sifting through these images,

chirp chirp

Mouthing Mumbles

runnin’ runnin’ runnin’ runnin’,

runnin’ my mouth off,

mouth of a waterfall,

mouthing mumbles,

jumbles,

like my eggs like my ideas – scrambled,

keep cool,

cool off, heat up, speed up, slow down,

slow down, speed up, heat up, cool off, heads up,

up up and away,

way to go,

wait, don’t go,

mouth of a waterfall,

mouthing mumbles,

jumbles,

crafting lyrical puzzles,

drafting spiritual novels – ah,

ha ha ha ha,

mouth of a waterfall,

wash over me in entirety,

ponder personal philosophies,

ponder plato, socrates,

use terminology,

but i’ll proudly admit that i’m still ignorant,

oblivious,

drowning in bliss,

mouth of a waterfall,

water falls all around me,

water’s all i can see,

sea’s wavy,

skies are hazy,

painted in cotton candy colors,

a vibrancy like no other,

a vibe you see,

keep on vibin w/ me.

[FRAMES] Still Goin’

stop motion but i’m still goin,

motion this notion evoke emotion,

emojis emoted,

animated,

enamored,

captivated by snow caps and snapbacks,

snapbacks & snapchats,

sappy snap happy happily yappin’ ’bout what’s happenin,

fadin’, sleepy?

nah, wired by how inspired i feel i ain’t noddin’ off,

maybe signing off,

awfully often a technophobe,

phone fears? or do i just long for the years of britney spears,

listen here,

listen up up and up to my lyrical spit up up and up ’bout nostalgia;

member berries and rose tinted glasses,

let memories pass,

pass, exist in the moment,

don’t get too caught up in the sentiment,

otherwise perspectives get projected,

keep your point of view protected; don’t reflect it,

ha, sorta funny when you consider,

how i’m bashin’ introspection with a passion yet deflectin’ that this picture’s from the past,

last… last summer, sunny, warm,

long for tumalo’s whirling whimsical waterfalls,

these pictures got me riddled with awe.

[FRAMES] Splashin’ Passion

splashin’ passion,

crashin’ at 5pm,

landin’ on my feet,

sweepin’ up without defeat,

featured in thoughts,

represented in abstract imagery,

imagination’s rich, vocabulary’s convoluted,

poetic, sometimes mistaken for apathetic, apologies if the message gets diluted,

i just get enthused ‘n the words spill,

ill, trippin’,

firm believer that life is depicted by freudian slips,

slip slip and slide,

sly, shy, just ramblin’, rattlin’ off what’s on my mind,

this is just the surface,

sir, face me,

me oh my,

weak in the knees when we lock eyes,

contact hi,

there,

care to hear how i’m doin’ dear?

care to see what i’m up to over here?

hear me out,

see me through,

see right through me, amuse me, enthuse me

splashin’ passion,

passin’ over old pictures,

feelin’ new,

feelin’ oooh
