Soul sista/ ~ELODY

unlike you, you who would write
"baby"
you say just baby in the subject;
and i hear your voice
hear you call me baby.
baby (baby said slow, said drawn out with kwadjo flow mojo go say baby)
one word: baby
one world in "baby"
a complete coprhensive conversation in one word...
in one word a universe. one word enough, in one word everything.
there would be no more.
there would be no more.
nothing extra-dont
bring text- ra-dio or media- dont
bring journalism, cost effective, expedience- dont
bring globilazation or convenience- dont
make it more than what it is.
don't add irrelevence:
no flourishes in communication
no embellishment of apreciation
only benevolence:
no introduction body conclusion
no stucture conforminty or confusion
one word: baby
one world in "baby"
simple, cuddle into your dimple, comfort word
hindu, release the mind into, retort the absurd
one word: baby-
one world in "baby"
baby like infant like lover like life
baby like innocence like ignorance of strife
in just one word.
baaaaaaby: baby said slow, said drawn out slow with flow like kwadjo know how
one word: baby
one world in "baby"
unlike you, baaaaaby
unlike you i will write more
unlike you, i will write more than "baby"
i will not hold a universe in a single word.
a world in a word.
instead i will write more
instead, i will begin to explore
more, more words to convey the meaning we already know
exists - meaning that exists without this frivilous show
show of words
show of word flow rythm sunglow baby dont go - yet
because i am not done yet
i have a point to make, let
the excess go
and lay low.
listen...

"baby" our baby this word baby
maybe
maybe baby will be
more
baby will be a starting point
to grow a life from
our word baby is life, baby
our world baby is a life, baby
and this life will become
more
this baby will become
more

this baby has become...

a poem.

Ha ha ha
Baby maybe shady
to a femininsm lady
Maybe even say free
of a research cut and pasty
But while you go to your grave
a slave to capturing the universe in more words than one
Id be taking it all in
with an inevitible grin
SSHHHhhhh Listen...(silence)...MMMmm Bbbaabbyyyyyyyy

[Zion]

maybe baby,
you know i know your way is right
you know we know this is no fight:
we agree.
we present the opposite ends of the universe
but we agree.
combined opposite ends make neutral verse, see
we agree.

you know i am no slave
i will take no bitterness to my grave
because of my intent.
i comprehend joy, i intend joy. but i do not contend joy.
because i am content.
others try to capture the universe in verse
because they need to explain it.. and they try to contain it.. they end up
stain'in its bliss
but i capture it because i love to retain it, soak up the rain its, and i get to
remain in its kiss.

my poem is for apreciation
my verse is sweet interpretation
words not attempting explanation
words soley for celebration
of this creation
that we call universe.

i employ the verse because i love it
not because i need to but because i want to
i dont need the words, the verse
i just like them
language isnt tedium
language is just one medium
that i use.
my apreciation trancends words, verse, language,
trancends gender race size age
poetry is just one medium
that i use.
sentiments, i paint play and dance them
these arts that i use.
because i apreciate the universe with so much more than verse..
i apreciate with that same inevitable grin
words are just a part, they dont even begin
to show all of my apreciation.
words are just my linguistic smile, paint my visual smile
dancing is the smile of my body to a beat
music is soundwaves smiling in my eardrums
the whole sun smiles light smiles love smiles heat
we have to apreciate where the love is coming from
smiles feels soft sounds lush taste so sweet
love nourishes like trees like water dried plums

so live it.

i am just living while
i apreciate.
and if i happen to be living in poem today...
then baby,
i say dig.

Saw the clouds drifting through the light blue sky
Sight so uplifting I couldn't care if I died

So I said
Coolly That see...
and
Too Much apprecitation at that see...

see Catch phrases been sendin prasises
since "I have a dream" conquered racists
"We Paint Our Own Faces"
five words replaces
whole philisophical book cases
But your right despite
No matter how good it looks
The fleeting groove of constant interaction
cools with majestic hooks
Such is dance
a solid trance
As we celebrate our one chance.
So dance... Flower...
Dance...

click "reply"
smile sly
another poem
droppin down from the sky
and i am high
on words

high on words despite
enlightened on words
despite college town suburbs

where they arrange me into chronological
immerse my life in technological
investing everything in the logical
in the organization of university
where race is considered proof of diversity
without mountain streams or innercity

in these narrow college town suburbs

here higher education somtimes forgets individual
day by day a the same schedualed ritual
creating homoginzed society and im just risidual
but if you remeber to question the preaching
sort out confomity find the real teaching
absorption of knowlege by perpetually reaching

there is a window in these colelge town suburbs

high on words despite
despite college town suburbs
because really, all i gotta do is look around
at the sky watch the swallows fly
barefoot birth dig my toes into the earth
looking in from the outside i've found
that, the key to knowlege is love
intellectualism is a tool
to conquor all that is not love
knowlege is not a weapon fool

this revolution we speak of
needs love and wisdome to rule

the world is mearly in distraction
mistaking rat racing for action
only exposed to a tiny fraction
of the earth's potential interaction

intellectualism is our new untencil
abandoned the spoon thats been feeding you lies
dont be another gretal and hansel
not seeing the witch behind the disguise
all learn truth, then ill put down down my pencil

only then i'll abandon the intellecutal
after ever single fool
has been given the gracious tool
of enlightened mutual rule
enjoying our common cool

then knowlege will will be heavan
AND ignorance will be bliss
happiness is all that leavans
the bread of life's sweet kiss

won't matter if i handwrite or computer type
because there will be no competition hype
because nothing is inherintly evil
even technology isnt the devil
its just another tool for poem

just another way to capture
the poems fallin from the sky
another day in rapture
while i wait for your reply

~ELODY

[Zion]

Theres a fine line of love I shall never cross
For this very same line hung JESUS on the cross

Were gonna be here for a while so you might as well smile
Dont live in deniel we were made to smile

Stand so high that were never gonna die
If someone pressures you just kiss them in the I

Offer peace and love and the heavens above
In a this of ways I no never get a the shove

~KWADJO

[Zion]

simplify
allow me to argue the other side
i'm just asking myself; why we do we need to classify
im just hypocrit using words while begging language to die

see even my name is a classification
its the nature of the game of articulation
its not that we need so much elaboration
im addicted to words

we have to come to this fallacy, this realization
that there is no such thing as an education
without an ivy league matriculation
that is just words

noble intent reduced to "intellectual" evaluation
of the presence or lack of "sophistication"
yet our scale is based on the quantified acumulation
of vocabulary words

our thoughts are now in predetermined rations
until we no longer belive in a simple conversation
that does not rely on the fabrication
of imaginary words

the whole world suffers while we think of our nation
our language promotes the oraganization
of concepts in terms of the sole utilization
of pronoun words

its only us and we verses he and she at this station
we are independent and proud of our derailed creation
we cant seem to find an unselfish elation
with possesion words

just as excessive thought is the root of derision
these languages have brought us mutual division
when humanitity forgot the the universal vision
of love words

~ELODY

[Zion]

NO doubt
I shout
With worries without
Come about
The grounds
where sounds
rikashe round
the towns
maken you me
and the sea
all three get down
Quite like James Brown
Because we feel good
Umm...
So I went across the seas
and was pleased to appease
all families by the unity we see
By sharing a cup of tea
see
We couldn't share the same liberties
Of Speech in portugese
But our abilities to maintain company
kept us real as the human comunity
Umm..
My english Vocabulary
Could vary so vastly its scary
all that an African toung couldn't share with me
I dont know whats scarier
The improper english errier
Or being caught behind a communication barrier

~KWADJO

[VanAstral]

good stuff, having fun!

[fulmah]

Mmmm, yummy! There's a vibrance to your work that's hard not to get into.... very fun to read and get caught in the flow. I could see many of these levelling crowds at a spoken word meet. Great stuff!

[Zion]

THere is not enoguh gratitude on this planet to express my aprreciation for allowing me to share with you.

[Zion]

breakin the barriers of english errors
means breaking mental walls of heirarchical terrors
drop one y'all and you loose your signal
to the hauty prestigious intellectual
historically elite word devolved to incorrect
we classify dialects into those we respect
even our own rules loose thier relevence
when associated connotation loosed its elegence
even a literal conjuction for a plural "you"
is associated with uneducated southern beef stew
and if used to express a lovely innovation
will be rejected because of the lackeye connotation
superficial judgements are claiming racial inferiority
the audio equivalent is claiming dialectic superiority
so please, listen to the message within-
an accent is just the color of the message's skin.

~ELODY

[Zion]

Ha ha ha
Ight checkit
Im bouta burn
a word
so absurd
even a nerd
could respect it
Boom JAH ties
Kickin wise dumb
wisdom is the Dome
were in em'
When pushin the pull
like surfin on a bull
so cool
no not a fool
and never ever full of bull shit
We rule when up and rockin
the cools
celebraten what JAH gave to you
a holy tool which school
may not provide you in the full
But thats bullshit,
Life aint no bowl hit
its an infinite soul fit
Dont step in and out
or ya liven in doubt
not thinkin bout
the sprout which is given a shout
Exalt for ya life
or ya live in a droubt
Sorry now
probably wonderen what I talking about
Its the jive punch glide
in which harmony resides
solidified in the bind
of a world thats unified
by celebrational preaching
Not segragational speech
see
we reached a point where the
flow halts steep
There a keep movin groovin
for its the constant soul soothing
not problem robbing
by snooty snobing
your self
with an egotistical wealth
Health bends towards the good
and rewards positivities should
where no wars could
ever stomp on our foot
we just put
ourselfs in a tolerent blood
open to the world
and holering from the roof
top
stop scamin my message
with grammatical depth ridge
For thats not important
Its all about the smiles Im setten forth-man

~KWADJO

[Zion]

Ah shit Im an idiot

Read to quick and called myself a dick

I now see how unfree I am

Be it that I snapped when you analyzed my plan

Fuck. such unluck has got me stuck in a hole with no soul

Umm, which is to say I took unnessecary offens

and must now pay the cosiquence

All you said was that I capture the univeres in one verse

And of coarse I cast myself a curse and filed for devorce

Even if you were persecuting me it would only be resoluting me
or offering a maybe possibility

Your right this wasn't a fight, and I sat awake for nights
not really but I sure you can feel me

I see now the error of my ways, and for showing me this I offer appraisel
to your sunny sky eyes of light blue and hazel

Im sorry. Shit Humans can be such idiots.

Yeah I shoud probably start reading a little more carefully. Nice call chap

~KWADJO

[Zion]

baby i couldnt agree more
with the rythme lovin that is flowing
with the low jiving voice i hear glowin
when i read yours
words fit to feed lords
but whats more
words fit to feed the poor
lets read some more
bask in the glory
of this wonderful story
of of two jammin companions, no famine
that jived well, blue bell, wont sell
thier arts together forether purple heather cant teather
now you talkin a little more sense
and im talking a little more jive
tearing down our walls our fences
living every day a little more alive
not dependent just learing
satisfaction not yearning
balanced harmony not burning
calm ocean not churning
our pushing and pullin just daily tides
no way some arogance riskin joy rides
in front, abide
behind, dont hide
honesty reside

keep smiling sunshine
with your moon-smile
spreadin out your soul-fine
down every road-mile
no question'in devine
in laying down love-tile
then up grows wisdome pine
now trees are back in-style
so its up to yours and mine
to make this trend last awhile.

bubblin brook streamin up laughing water
nature-love is reclaimin our earth mother
song raising up cleaning our sky father
the beat takin over even those that couldnt bother
to take part in unity march metal piece peace sauter
everyone claiming everone as thier soul brother
the revolution is adopting a cast out daughter
and she is a unified people no cash can barter
and she's saying "you give me hope my fire-starter"
~ELODY

[Zion]

ah shit, idiot
everyone is the hypocrit
so now i forfeit
so now no one won

i think im owing you
an apology too

got to thinkin i was a god who
was always correct,Im fool

"fuck off" showin id lost my cool
trying to live by regulation and rule

forgive me if i snap sometimes
when releasing the bitter of my unripe lime
see the citrus oil is seeping into a paper-cut finger
light stinging irritation was trying to linger
so that
i have to relearn that life
is not a competition
words sometimes blade knife
grief from repitition

let go detatch i need no more
no word like "best", ill bleed no more
release me from myself before
i hurt my world from aft to fore

please, dont apologise
for challenging my stubborn guise
i turn my back but he still tries
to gently blow away the flies
of pride that are still my guides

the inevitable conclusion, finally we reach her
is that scripture and literature are both valid teachers
they are our artist writers and wisdom preachers
i grew up with no religion
you grew up with a television
our choices, our past convey
makes sense, eh?
maybe we've both been introduced
to something needed
makes dents, eh?
dents in both our stuborn ways
soemthing to be heeded
pays rent, eh?
pays to finish each conversation
each idea has been seeded
much love, eh?

my greatful words please erase the hateful words
which can fly away with birds
to find thier own heavan.
apologies and thank you
may my sensualtiy never again tank you
apreciation to your generosity-
just never again thoughtlessly
ignore approaching clouds.
if they are approaching it is the right time
clouds make wind blowing through warning wind chime
if you stand and face clouds, you'll enjoy a summer rain
turn you back will only lead to prolonged pain
of drought and storm and landscape stain
instead of soft and gentle rain
i promise you it will only gain
us our life path road lane
to lead in the right diretion
that does not right now involve erection
or drug sensuality injection
only comraderie apreciation
companionship telepathic communication
a little gentle romantification
along with our constant refutation
debates that help us learn
cools our burn
brings us each closer to our median
our neutral circle in radian
drawn closer by that gravity
levitate off one another's energy
we'll find ours in eccentricity
find ours in verse enternity
find ours in just be
in what is
and we are
and i am
and all can see
let ourselve be free of inhibition and competition
i kwadjo osei and you elody gyekis do not exist and yet we are
these constant beings do not end
running opposite and parallel,
i'm always always here for you, my friend.

never knowing that appreciation

They paint thier own faces

One must eat shit
Before they can speak it
Must have a bad taste in his mouth
Lets hope they are not all the same in the "South"

[KittenX]

Don't listen to anyone and do your own thing. You've got a wicked binging style. My only crit as of now is spelling. Haven't got around to reading everything, attention spans being not all that large but I've read a few and certainly hearing your message.

[Zion]

Thank you Kitty, Yeah Ill take to mind some proffessional mannerism. Love you. Keep keep that litterbox overflowen. ;0p _'0 D

Nice call kid, its hard to see what others do sometimes, but yeah when I look at em i can see how some of mine could be broken due to their structure. Keep kickin it boss

Happy and true skys
let the colors provide
something abstract while organic
coming from all sides cause were looking inside

add existence and you got the presistance of our essense

listen to the lessons as they only spoke of blessings
Sure somethings may be depressing but thats only cause ya stressing
Things like you want their strings to pop
you dont wanna drop off this smiling face in disgrace of whats great

call it earth or birth or worth but it couldn't be worse then life in the inverse
which would reverse this whole process of this continual burst
in the first place
which would erease the constast pace of the universe' taste
which would waste the warm storm of sun rays which replays in the lives of every positive vibe,
Positive vibes which provide you with life and conquere all strife
Which puts your foot to the left of mine, as we spin flip and kick simotainously as if our minds were intertwined
climbing mount shining whiles signing peace on the tai-lind tribe end
when with perfect timing your reclining on the fining tiding of the clouds in skyland
all whiles our hands remaine combining to destroy the confining grips of our spiritual blindings
As our compaionships asks "Why you Lying" becuase our superstyling moves keep tying knots like Natty dread locks cause we rock the streets with beats so heavy they have to sign levys to keep our feet from turnings roads into teddy bears,
see our ineivitible flow was bron ready to go, like a steady flow even though we both got our own ways to show the same ocean knows
which rose from a rose and arose a rose

[Zion]

from play arose kick flip prose
from clay apposed slip drip rose
from bay a hose sip dip flows
from a day of lows hip lip pose
from hay wind blows snip blip nose
from away glows a rip kip grows
in prose a rose grows and glows nose strike pose words like flows
and he knows the flamanco flamingo
clap beat sticado stop
heat stilletto stomp
beak snap notes rap
music rise flap
winged skies lap
up water like flutter
dress her hike ruffle
deep red flower lips
sweep feather long slips
of grace curve
weather song taste swerve
of arms fly hips sing nerves
and neck knows sense bird pink
color motion do not think
just drink from the music
sink into candle wick
rise in dancing flames
leave the games
this is a life that is a lake of pink birds that rise

filling the sky with sunrise

QUite an interesting paradox ain it.
Write some words which havent been painted
Almost as if poetry can some days be pain-ed
I would like to believe that I can infitely do certain things
And thanks to nature for its possible tidings
I can
So what is that
A beliefe in the word laziness
Or intolerence
Or I am conditioned too complain ness
You never believed it when they said
You can't belive everything you read see hear and I would now say especially think
Ive always believed in positivty
And yeah for that very reason of negativity will only leave you roadless, and hopeless
for that negative symbol isn't a minus for no reason
But yeah brain dead possitivity keeps you the moment and happiness alive.

[VanAstral]

indigenous people protest
nuclear proliferation, but
when intergalactic colonialists arrive…

QUite an interesting paradox ain it.
Write some words which havent been painted
Almost as if poetry can some days be pain-ed

tops!

Only the Gods' appreciate what they can, and you my friend are the grateful dead.

[Zion]

the difficult questions to answer
of whats right and wrong i swear
are always shades of grey.
stick to this value i say
but at the expense of anonother?
to choose between morals is
sacrificing a sister for a brother
to save both siblings, this
is not always an option
"put your values in order"
a method up for adoption
but blurry is the border
between sequential morals
and overlap is unavoidable.
choosing self over all
to maintain neutrality?
sometimes calm passivity
is a step backwards for community
then, resisting opression
or lifting from depression
(which coincide with my ideology)
say that conflict is needed
see then this progression must be heeded
it is a delicate balance
a fine line to walk
to never be a hypocrit
especially with the way we all talk

as i said,
sticking to one value sometimes
means sacrificing another
and putting them in an order of importance
may be the toughest thing of all
attepting to define them means surely we fall
because each situation provides new contradiction
so carefully thought out diction
to plan out this fiction of alphabatized definitions
may only build up walls
blocking the potential for a "perfect" choice
because no matter what you voice
in real life there will rarely be
anyhting other than shades of gray
regardless of how convincing is your say
it will contradict something said in a earler day
im not trying to dissuade you
from discussing your morals
only realistically i persuade you
to hold them closly and tighly
while defining them gently
and giveing them room to breath and live
leave them a chance to grow and the freedom to give you
thier wisdom.

~ELODY

[Zion]

I spoke too soon love
When I wrote by moon love-
Of a broken flower bud
A lost drop of petal blood.
But a sentence or two of appreciation
a simple wish for a communication
and my mind was able to rest,
sweet words of consolation best.
our eloquent companionship
caressed again by whispering lip
the doubts had not been justified
but neither was the evening bonified
startled rest left doubt and confusion
brief sexual jest left frustrated illusion
then alone to struggle against the half-heard
my mind could neither grasp nor release the words
I wished only for the warmth of your presence
my body exhausted and needing condolence
so that is why I wrote of a snapped stem
and now I write that I do not condemn
I learned a lesson of not withholding
Now the distraction of mind is unfolding
I forgive, forget and apologize
And interaction is just a little more wise.
~ELODY

[Zion]

Wow, pernesia
pow first seize ya
to the right and left
whats righteous now
good whats bad was left behind
sunset trail under vails of climbing sticks with fire paper shining from their extentions
painting the mood of a ripe orange and bannana up the trail
to light...
black incumpusing purple to speak of enchanting fantasies of stories entervolving rounds within each spray of divine lights
which flow as smoothly and just as mightly humble and rumbling as the blue slash turquoist oceans nears by I think to the right
I think to the right where my home in the holy light surrouunded by goldy sights
never begins and ends.
~KWADJO

[Zion]

there is a flower bud in my spine
whose stem, so supple and crisp with new dawn
has snapped
her turgid health has worked against her, for had she been wilted
her flex would not break.
flower, delicate premature petals of pastel green, still encased in a protecting
hands of leaf,
these delicate petals will never grow now
will not flourish into blossom and fade into seed
bud will die before its time
this broken stem
has left a hole for demon thought
to slip inside my plant body
demons that question what is
that introduce sorrow
and attempt to provoke anger
what has happenned to me? how could i have so rashly exposed an unprotected
stem, when i know the artery to my heart,
my life blood
is in danger?
my tree has yet infinate undamaged buds and blossoms,
but that does not negate the value of that one
and my tree aches the loss gently
my patiece pulls from roots to let my tree drink a long breath of acceptance
to move on and grow, yet always hold a treasured knot to hold her rotting bud
that was never realized into a blossom, never passed on her seed of wisdom.
dream of peace of mind my leaves, and rustle whispered songs of life with each
breeze.


kwadjo, it is never safe for me to write to a person when i feel like this. you
have many a time said that ou are always here for me to talk to but actions and
words do not always coincide. accusitions i will try to avoid but i cannot
avoid accusing myself of imatience, attatchment, and the inability to clear my
mind and sleep right now. all i wanted was to see you and now, but for lorena,
i wish i had just stayed home. im sorry baby, i am not being fair.
listening to the birds, elody

Jaded
Minds eyes have been painted
the tainted color of crack
why didn't you smack me
or maybe you did
I just couldn't see from such great preasure of my delusive lid
I sacraficed my purity to comfort someone
And its less than an obligation for me to comfort you
you who pulled me out of a pit of knives painted blue
You who saw beyond my death and brougth me to life
And I fuck you then leave
You
Fuck
you
then leave
I trained my hole life to live to the best comforts of others
and I didn't see you
someone who came to see me
I couldn't see
wow, one more step youv'e pushed me up
Much thanks chap

[Zion]

What the fuck children
Youve got such luck to be in existence at all
Yet is seems Im hearing that all we can do is fall
Youve been given a beautiful earth and a chance of birth
and the blaring sirens of GOD's phone call
It doesn't even make sense to ball
Now sure I made a few mistakes in my day
and my opression be it at different levels still exists
But fear rage and irritation are only elements of our imaginations
We feed um
we seed them
But thats only cause we dont read them
Or else we would find they dont make much sense
How far is fear gonna get you
Just clinch your fist and send a try and you can bet truth
Rage will only take this life and sumbit it to strife,
you can just shrug your shoulders and drop all the bolders
Irritation thats just the pride you hold for your nation
or
The plucibo affect possibly creates an ego,
if someone keeps poke en you , dont get upset its just some one poken you
Drop the drama and enjoy planet earth while you can

[Zion]

im soft and hard
soft sentimentality bringing tears to my eyes
hard work rough sweat dust clings like a grey guise
im cool and warm
river mountaincooled rapids tumbling from the stones
sunwarmed earth heat seep to and from my bones

to myself i deny
the depths of my affection
dont ask myself why
i feel this connection
even think to try
denial and rejection

but i cant fight the inevitable
i can only bite the beautiful

so my, irresitible
please be nice
dont encourage undeniable
questionabe vice
help this be sustainnable
simple beans and rice
allow us to be neutral
dont roll the dice

playing with chance at the wrong time
is not smart
let us not practice on the edge of a dime
the forbiddon art

instead play like kitten
in fresh sparkeling snow
finnally in mittens,
a beauty you can roll in low
unlike flowers, you can sit in
safe to go with your flow
now you know you have been bitten
watch my heart glow

i float and sink
up dreaming canopy and cumulous cloud
down into cushion moss humming aloud
im new and worn
fresh like spring leaves tender pastel glow
like old shoes conformed lovingly to each toe

~ELODY

[Zion]

Hmm. interesting
I enter resting and found my blessing
Where I can sit float listen and die
Umm...
Outside says blue skys easy breeze
and reaching tress
Nothing wrong no
Like umm...
Lightening chattering air molecules to flutter like leaves but their not scared
but dancing
so I need to do the same
Just go with the flow
Umm we are the we are the we are the we are the we
I am the me are the I was what am the here is the we are the now
The you are the you were the will be cause can be so stand free and hand me
hello
AAhhh ELODY gruff cause I cant stop seeing you and me freeing like the sun in
the sky
OK?
But my bottom less pit of dipsair never wants me to care, safely
Im afraid to focus, on anything, especially anyone
Im afraid
I can give in to love up love down and around with no sound
Or I can be a brother walking on this ever lasting tredmil
Chucking and jive keeping aliving surfing the riding
tickling the dragon
It seems youve asked me to care, And for some one like you I will dare, Even
thoguh I truly love laze-faire.
So in return I ask you to turn your focus on full burn. and melt away a the
sheets which block our horizans.
Lets talk about the rules care free and front
dipping inifnance for you, so find ours, chains and keys please
~KWADJO

[Zion]

with what words did i seem to?
i certainly did not mean to
i did not mean to ask
to ask of you a task
a task of you to care
of you to dare to care for me
what do you mean for me
to focus? what, on us?
chains and keys, what chains, and please
if chains then please yes be keys
keys that free, chains denote slavery, captivity.

let me tell you these
these dreams
thease dreams i fear
two nights ago
i dreamed, i know
a restless mind in humidity
dream lacking tranquility
in which i lacked the ability
to reason.

pregnant, i was. carrying our child.
coming, a storm was, tropical and wild.
from easy inland safty, i was drawn outside
for some compelling reason, i wanted to ride
i walked, waded then swam i tried
fearlessly, pointlessly, hopelessly and happiliy out to sea
when i turned to go, it was no longer at hand,
rejected by the undertoe, could not reach sand
by strong deep flow, away from my land
i could not go back, the sky and water turning black
and i still with separate life growing inside
not a care in the world, no worry abides
what did it mean, those breakers cresting over me
undulating ocean strength pulling me from safety
and i with not a care?
i did not dare to worry,
and caught up in the flurry
i consistantly and illogically
went straight for the dangerous
i did not even wait for the ominous
electical storm
of the tromical form
to come to me.

what means this? what means you?
is it not possible, to brother sister walk together
and still have the comfort of playful touch
because this seems to translate into way too much
sensual CAN stop before sexual
and for all your talk of walk
it is you who makes the transition
and i who resists with inhibition

What, presicely am i asking of you,
and what are you of me?
i hope for no unwanted chains in our future
i will never ask of you what you fear
that is not fair and i would not bear
that, so promise me
any bonds of yours draw strenght from honesty
in or out, asks yours.
neither asks mine.
is solidly on all fours
in between- is that precariously
unstable, a fable, incapable?
it is not such a thin line.

enlighten me to your impressions or repressions
ill see you sooner than you might think.
~ELODY

How many conversations
Does it take
For an action to result?
How many poems
Are written..
Yet no one is at fault

Let me just say,
Listen
Because we mean what we say
It seemed so clear to me
Listen
I mean what I say
It is never idle conversation
When we speak of our beliefs
Listen…
Listen
Our words and lyrics both protested
But our bodies contested
Listen..

I didn’t understand
Why it took a witness for my words to sink truth
There is no blame
Just misunderstanding
Just dance in the rain
Now that we begin comprehending

I still don’t agree with love in pain
If you love me no ending
Don’t leave bruising stain
From marks on my body
There is no gain

Wrestling kitties
They don’t bite to hurt
Sweet littlies cuties
They nibble and snap
My darling beauties
don’t sink in teeth

Im not yours because I dotn belive in causing physical pain
Unnecessary pain
There is no solid reason to learn to endure
Unnecessary pain

You not mine because I need sobriety
Satisfy my intellectual yearning
Maintain critique of society
Life is for me constant learning
The world is to be explored not conquered
To be absorbed not manipulated
To be encouraged not destroyed
Ignorance may be bliss
But even if knowledge brings pain
I will gladly accept it
If there is humanitarian gain
So I will climb my mountains, and help on the way
And at the base you will watch
Bringing peace to a few who stray
Down to you
Found to you
How does this sound to you?

You, human, I love you.
What a life we could create
A beautiful being we could make.
But we will leave it for another day
To say if an us-child will
Cosmically ecologically peacefully lovingly
Ever occur, exist, create.
~ELDOY

[loveflower]

wow, wow :eek:

[Zion]

The Blank check with no regret
is a set of monolet
I bet you of people
can understand
the steep hole
created by the deep whole
One love one heart lets get together and we'll
soul be alright
or All Right
theirs always a question
So theres always an answer
or For every sweet deer
theres always a panther
Its the food chain
never rude games
just the truth thang
Something even you sang
so why use my unforseeable slang
cause the cosmos rang so high
that even you hang on to
belong to
and must be stong to admit it
But the universe is yours
Forget it
Bet it and gamble if you really want to
But the blank check is a sybol of the universes reflection
empty whiles infinte in all driections
to say I see what you say
But the world see much more
So whatever could be sore is always ready to soar
For sure
I agree just which you, and Im sorry I bit you
No Ill never forget you
Im glad were just friends so we finally set true
Much love peace and LIfe to you.

[Zion]

spin it..
im spinning
fabric of my skirt spins
like the fabric of my soul
spinning a reggae dance
spinning out legs flying
spinning sending sparks out
expanding dispersing bouncing together away
the energy of my love these days
spinning
the world around
the kinetics of the love dance i have found
the motion the power the strength
to spin our world around
joy of light and sense and sound
spin it
just spin.





~ELODY

[Zion]

She's winning
and fitting
into world in which shes spinning
becuse shes living in the the moment the slow spin
so closely ingrossiing
the most been
liven on the post man
who shows me
the shows man
listen close man
life should be the only one we chose man
not boasting
their roasting
they just didnt want to host then
they lost track of their only coasting
rolling wave or the way that theyv'e been saved
from nothingness to somethingness
the earths beauty and her humbleness
so rest assured that the rest will be a sure
example of GOD's holy anthem
and no matter where it plants them
they'll have to take a holy stance man
infinte chance man
impossible at a glance man
the universe spinning as she dance yeah

~KWADJO

[KittenX]

Cool, face paced, like a rush to the head.

[sylvanlightning]

So many beautiful twists and turns.
Holy and natural, like a whirling dervish.

[Zion]

Yeah! ELODY is a geneius... Artistic and scientific. Who ever settles down with her could be a very lucky guy.

[etherealeyez]

Reading this poem was addicting once I got started I just couldn't stop. Loved how the train of thought built and went through so many emotions, anger, repentence, frustration, etc. At least that is how I heard it. But yes, hearing it out loud would no doubt be amazing as I can only imagine the power it would add to the meaning.

[Zion]

I think
its
apparent and obvious
that I'm not the
snobbiest
were a pair
anonymous
with no care for
the odds heed us
to stop being
sloppy
follow your heart beat
you'll find that its not me
its easy
your not my copy
cat
as a matter of fact
i don't enjoy being smacked
so step on back
and get back on your track
cause Im not your exact
this could only lead to life lacked
Im sure you feel the same way
So no need for a shame day
good friends we became today
and saved the day
from any violence
the noise you make when you respond in silence
Its killen and drill in me
a hole lota noo-sense
since you seem to be my only noose hints
I speak of the earth and all of its Worth
from the moment of birth to day of desert
Then you say "yeah..."
I think you would make a good friend to me
so lets stop playin pretend to be
just lend me a hand shake
and forget all the planned fake
taught me how to make pancakes
and to always take double takes
cause first glance
people arent always
the sounds their band can makes
which is your not problem
or
a problem with you
its a problem thats created when
we're supposed to make two
Im a city cat
stuck in the blaze of cool kind rave
while your an elitists defeating neediest
planting you seed to bust
finding who you need too trust
Yeah your right my friend when you climb to the end of your mountains
all be sitting staring reading the fountains
spouting bout the found things
preaching bout the up not down things
so while you save the physical world
me and my girl will teach people bout the inside out things
so when your peaceful world is ready
I made the people steady and stable
more over willing able
to balance on this cable
you elody I wish the finest of tables
sit and eat somethin sweet and share with others
cause happiness is the only things needed by our brothers
like a mothers love
and sure the mothers glove is good for the discipline
but with out giving kindness whos goin be listenin
so once again
I wishin when I see you again
the world will keep spin and
peace and truth will keep you a friend again.

Were far to differnet to try to act same
I wish you were mine but Im just far too kind
and Your far too mind
But as brother and sister just like everyone else were gonna make great friends
LOVE... my sister... LOVE...

Wishing I were yours
~Kwadjo Osei

[Zion]

reply reply reply
deserving why a cry for sigh oh my
truth hurts a little sometimes
no use pretending
come to times
to terms
to find my ferns
in kind with turns
but ouch...
honesty necesity
pave the way incescently
to relief intertwined with greif
to twist around then let go and float away
with the sea breeze a clear day
running on my clouds that run along
underneath me and above matching my speed
in sunshine and thunderstorms with
my mind and heart so clear and free that i can let go of the thought pulling on
my heals like heaviness of the water my legs push through as out to sea i dive
the thought that i miss you so much, but
really i have nothing to say to your words execpt
thank god we will henceforth
be enternal freinds and no more
our conversations through wall of space between us
step back the from the personal ache between us
and relax into ourselves
a break from my soul analysis
because ouch enduring is not needed
mind heart soul thought must be heeded
so yours to your and mine to mine
those storm clouds looming
not so much a storm as a break
stick to honesty it is easier to belive than those words spoken that constrasted
so sharply with what had always been broken
from the truth
mind never fully tricked into beliveing those words questioned them but the
agreeable would not let you do this sooner
i always knew i was not for you and i knew it was tearing at you
i always knew our connection was friendship
i wanted nothing to do with games, playing games with future, with potential
lives that haunted my dreams but thankfully that premonition did not actualize
to new life growing in my body
to me breaking personal space was being petted and stroked like a kitten,
rolling a wrestling like a kitten nibbling and playing like a kitten
but to you that led to arousal meant for someone more to you
and to me it was the extent, wanting no more from you
so i'll step back and let you your space
and you will not be tempted to invade mine
our walls are differnet distances from ourselves
and that is the least of our differences
as i ran on the beach this morning both over and under a tumulous sky, it was
myself reflected beneath me, my own feat i was bouncing off of, and i was alone
me and i myself alone suspended in a vast sky and bittersweet love released
from me and finally i can sink into satisfaction.
no more judgement no more guilt no more imbalance release release release
find mine

find mine

find mine


so thank you cat, for being you
i think i learned a lesson or two
and though succumbing to teptation was not meant to be
i have yet no regrets
i harbor no regrets
and to you relax, no worries and please no regrets no blame no guilt either.
much peace and love,
elody gyekis

[Zion]

Alrigiht alright now its time to have fun
Soak up the sun cause we only have one
Something sipmle and happy
like the beat of a heart beat
sparkling starts me
for for its on life the were embarking
parrdon me for parking my style from from a spar king
And yes your right my style should shine its own light
so its O right O right
Like a logical fight
that bite through any intimidating dynamyte
like flight through night
kick through dim light
burnin the self bright cause were surrouonded by
Might and thats a might be maby
so lifes never truly shady
true a shade be
but shade is a fade seen
in the spectral system
all top to bottom when you list 'em
so even zero light can glissen
if you listen correctly
and show some respect see
your light shall forever protect thy
the same comes in humans
so no shame to you man
cause every stars connected by light and darkness
its somethin we all share
so spark this
understnading demanding
where no one is commandiing
of one and them other
cause your just as free as your brother
For we all saved my our mother
dont bother mention fahter
cause with out one another
the world is owned by Sargent Slaughter.

[Zion]

Yeah Im sorry I had to burden any of you with these bogus poems of two stupid kids. I hate soap operas. I vowed that I would never be in one. But umm. Never say never, just don't do it. Right?
