poetry/ Verse /Word

I looking into this hole and its spinning round and round i see all kinds of colors and i feel the wind blowing in my face I look closely and I see someone its a female I’m  trying to focus to make out her face. its me falling deep deep deep I’m reaching my hands up to me to be pulled out. The wind is strong I want to save myself but I don’t think I’m strong enough the wind has got me spinning around and around i fall inside i grab onto myself and hold on tight we look into each others eyes and our bodies combine. the wind slows down the colors become bright I look up and  I see a clear blue sky high above. Oversize flowers bloom underneath me, it grows tall while i sit on its petals higher and higher i step out of the hole and walk away.

I’d like to dedicate this to all the children
I have some food in my bag for you
Not the edible food the food you eat no
Perhaps some food for thought
Since knowledge is infinite
It has infinitely fell on me so um…
It was a stormy night you know the kind where the lightnin’ strike
And I was hangin’ out with some my yatzhee friends
ooh wee ooh wee ooh wee
The night was long the night went on people coolin’ out until the
break of dawn
Incense was burnin’ so I’m feelin’ right, aight
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don’t walk around trying to be what I’m not
I don’t waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin’ me
Cause I can’t please you and that’s why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don’t want to be down with me, then you don’t want to pick
from my
apple tree x3
And if you don’t want to be down, you just don’t want to be down
I have a hoe
And I take it everywhere I go
Cause I’m plantin’ seeds so I reaps what I sow, ya know, ya know
On and on, and on and on my cypher keep’s movin’ like a rollin’ stone
I can’t control the soul flowin’ in me
ooh wee ooh wee
See I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don’t walk around trying to be what I’m not
I don’t waste my time trying to get what ya got
I work at pleasin’ me
Cause I can’t please you and that’s why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don’t want to be down with me, you don’t want to pick from
my apple tree x3
And if you don’t want to be down with me, you just don’t want to be
down
Oh my my my my, oh my my my my, oh my my my my my my my
I picks my friends like I pick my fruit
My Ganny told me that when I was only a youth
I don’t walk around trying to be what I’m not
I don’t waste my time trying to get what you got
I work at pleasin’ me
Cause I can’t please you, and thats why I do what I do
My soul flies free like a willow tree
doo wee doo wee doo wee
And if you don’t want to be down with me, you don’t want to pick from
my apple tree
And if you don’t want to be down with me, dum dum diddy
And if you don’t want to be down with me, you don’t want to pick from
my apple tree
And if you don’t want to be down with me, you just don’t want to be
down
You just don’t want to be down,
You just don’t want to be down

Nostalgia is a funny thing. A simple song can make you think back and feel all cozy and smile

 

Nostalgia is a funny thing. Makes you think of family and friends you haven’t heard from in a long time. Makes you feel the love you thought had died and you realize it is still alive!  

why do i cry

why are these tears falling from my eyes

why is my heart cry out your name

why does my mind feel insane

why do i cry

when i looked into your eyes i noticed the change

 i didn’t know what to say

i felt an instant coldness

I thought it was me

I asked the spirits what happened to the man i thought was my soul mate to be

your eyes have changed

my spirit tried to speak to your spirit for some reason it didn’t acknowledge me

 there is this coldness i could feel come from you to me

i realize we knew each other in different time another life maybe i was you and you was me

why do i cry

why do these tears fall from my eyes

Maybe my soulmate entered your body just to tell me to hold on

I ask over and over where has my soul mate gone?
