Songs of the Month // October 2018

Posted on by post

living dead but far from a zombie,

bite it bitter brains, i’m sustained off of my hobbies,

brittle bones, my mind zones,

my thoughts zip,

my lips zipped,

zapped, zonked, zen, zesty, and zealous,

no need to be jealous,

i’m just jellin’ with your hype,

i’m just feedin’ off your vibes,

rather than taking chunks out of your mind,

 

living dead but far from a zombie,

my dark circles run laps around your crop circles,

circle ’round and jerk away from conspiracy,

’cause ignorance is mighty spooky,

crooked capital cons caught calling out kooky,

gooky, gunky, lies sung as lullabies over witching hour skies,

i simply watch to write about all the ways in which they’ll cut ties,

 

living dead but far from a zombie,

my skin is peeling, my stomach’s reeling,

yet my heart remains beating,

it keeps in rhythm with your percussion,

and all of the sudden, i’m no longer paralyzed by potential repercussions,

sunnily, your singing stops me from fussin,

suddenly, i’m no longer pale-grey and grave, i’m flushed straight blushin’,

been over a year, beyond a official my dear, yet i swear i’m still crushin’,

itty bitty giddy giggles,

your love trickles down my spine,

and for just a second, i’m tricked into believing i’m still alive

sunflower, sunflower, sunflower

empower me, sunflower,

shower me, sunflower,

nourish me, sunflower,

grow with me, sunflower,

i’ll shed my leaves to preserve my pedals,

i’ll bloom, but only for you,

bury me beneath sheets of rain,

reign cause you’re cherished, boo,

i value you as my sun, i’m your flower, true

colors bleed through,

seep through,

my skin is cellophane,

seep through, flooded by more rain,

but i don’t care if i never see the sun again,

umbrella, shelter, keep me warm,

hold me together from the outside,

ride along with me, a1 since day1 chillin by the wayside,

chillin’ where i reside,

hold me together from the inside,

sunflower, sunflower, sunflower,

i grow callous before i cower,

beneath moonlight,

imposter moonlit by false identities,

sunflower, sunflower, sunflower,

i’ll shed my leaves to preserve my pedals,

i’ll bury myself beneath lyrical riddles,

i’ll bloom, but only for you,

sunflower, sunflower, sunflower

Deciduous (Draft)

although leaves change w/ the season,
my roots remain the same,
despite these shades of fading green,
i’m tethered to this earth,
so let my seeds disperse

Songs of the Month // August 2018

Posted on by post

 

tripped now i’m fallin’,

off trees like it’s already autumn,

leafing over new starts as if i haven’t already blossomed,

sleepin’ on my passions as if i’m playin’ possum,

sleepin’ playin’ passive as if time isn’t passin’,

as if getting older doesn’t diminish the weight of your accomplishments,

cause at least you’re still acomplishin’ shit?

sit,

still too long and i drift to sleep,

but only if the sun’s out or else i can’t catch a wink,

lost in my own world all i ever do is think,

think we outta be connected by string can telephones,

step into my mind so i’m not all alone,

send you sweet nothings all night long,

through these string can telephones,

send you sweet nothings all night long,

through this string can telephone,

though let it be known,

your empathy breaks the bounds of telepathy,

somehow, you manage to see right through me,

ride my wave length,

tell me sweet nothings all day long,

we don’t need no string can telephone

Songs of the Month // February 2018

Posted on by post

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

Posted on by post

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

Posted on by post

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

Posted on by post

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’

Posted on by post

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

Posted on by post

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
