There Is A Distinction Between You And Me

It is a basic
classic distinction
between you and me
is a big chasm
a black space
they call it a hole
of a doughnut
no one understands it
completely
except myself
that center of understanding
that which accepts us
for what we are
that on the circular edge
of substance and sweetness
chocolate or orange
there is a place i call
i own
that domain of having known
nothing

between me and you
lies my own acceptance of my own
ignorance
that is where i start
my birth

The Hole In The Doughnut

i am full
eating is useless
my stomach
has no purpose
i have this doughnut
and i raise
it in space
and i look through
its hole

i want to see
what is the reason
for emptiness

the hole has more
content
than the doughnut
itself

i put my finger
inside it
and somehow
i begin to feel
confident

inside the hole
i know
i am not alone anymore.

inside the hole
again i become whole.

Light With A Sharpened Edge

Free from the torment of sin
All this I'm giving up
Much as the sun would decide to give in
Explode into orange
And hear all the voices sing praises with hymns
Mark the birth of a change
Free from the torment of sin
All this I'm giving up
It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me so who am I now
Over and over again
Light with a sharpened edge
Cut through the black empty space we call sky
Beginning the cycle that stays
And I know in my heart we all die
Like the day and the night
Like the sun in the sky
All this I'm giving up
It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me so who am I now?
Is there another side?
Beyond the black and the white
Place I could meet you by
A place on the other side
I'll let you know when I go
When I'm gone
It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me so who am I now?

160.Haunting Suicides

The battle fought
Between my soul and mind,
My conventions and contradictions,
My being and my death
Call it suicide and open the doors.


My inability to negate
My own self ever since long
Surrendering myself
To self chosen ignorance
Call it suicide and aerate the room.

Trying to still
The mind in the self
Impotent with pen and ink
Hungers to write history with sword
Call it suicide and sterilize the room.

Understanding the cosmos
But never the ego
Neglecting the self
Try to reach the summit of life
Call it suicide and incense the space.

Trying to tread the trodden path
The highroad of pride
Forgetting the inner spark
The elevating element of absolute
Call it suicide and disintegrate me to pieces!

Danger - Keep Away

We too feel alone
That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine
That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine
Where have I been all this time
Lost enslaved fatal decline
I've been waiting for this to unfold (Good)
The pieces are only as good as the whole
Severed myself from my own life
Cut off the only thing that was right
What if I never saw you again
I'd die right next to you in the end
That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine
That place in my mind
Is that space that you call mine
I won't let you walk away
Without hearing what I have to say
Without hearing what I have to say
Without hearing what I have to say

Peace

I feel sorry for each new soul
that falls into a big black hole.
When they were born they knew they were one
with all of life under the sun.

But the hole of ignorance opened wide
and the soul that they were fell inside.
Now climbing out is a challenge for some.
For the systam has got them and made them numb.

Relatively few will reach for that sun
and figure out what has been done,
That the big black hole was never there.
It was only a story to give them a scare.

Can you change the system? Probably not,
but you can change your perception and change the plot.
Each one is a mystery and quite unique.
Listen to yourself, not to those who speak

words that will send you back to the hole.
For these are words that are not of the soul.
I feel happy for each and everyone
who understands love, for they have won
peace.

We Dug A Hole

His head is a big black hole
full of big black things
and it sucks so hard
you could never against the mud
Sugar plum, no ones ever seen anything come
ouch, what a travesty, what a sad fate
someone get a band-aid please
we gotta get this guy a machine for his cranium
I mean I don't need
maybe I don't hear what i need
this never really goes anywhere
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
We dug a hole
And put our heads in
This winter they come too quick and broad
with not enough hot spiced cider or cinnamon toast
you never think you know this but when you got a dead start
sucking up both times in your brain
things start to change
and for the record let me say
its not his fault that things never change
the summer is always too short
and still they broke up for a guy with a black hole in his head
and you'll never meet him anyway
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
We dug a hole
And put our heads in it
We dug a hole
(We dug a hole)

Beyond The Black Hole

I have come from so far away
From the sunlight of my home
And I have seen it's the only way
Now my sun is dead and gone

I raise my head in silent anger
Seems there is no place for me
The only way out is to go
Where no one's gone before

Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time
Another universe is mine
And I can't wait until tomorrow
Ride - There's a call from deep within
No I won't return again
'Cause I will dive into the black hole

Don't wait for me

My Chocolate Milk

Note:
'Chocolate Milk' is a nickname

I love when you call me hun
I love when you call me sweety
I love when you call me love
I love calling you my baby.

I love the way you talk
I love the way you smile
I love how you effect me
I love how you ignore the 6953 miles

I love how you soothe me
I love how you kiss me
You’re not even here
But I can feel you hold me.

I love our conversations
I love how you comfort me
I love everything about you
I love the way you love me.

I love you for saying ‘when’ not ‘if’
I love you for loving me
I love you for being optimistic
I love you sweetie

Whenever I am down
I start to think
About my baby miles away
About my chocolate milk.

Of Acceptance and Compliancy

Acceptance is not the same as compliancy.
Although both definitions suggest flexibility.

Acceptance is done after comprehension comes.
And one compliant seems to be more submissive,
Technically.
With actions that are specific,
To what is defined and made understood.

And one who accepts definitions,
May argue with an understanding...
That attention and answers are expected to be given,
When asked!
With someone 'qualified' to deliver what appeases.
Or no one sleeps!

Octavio Paz

Spaces

Space
No center, no above, no below
Ceaselessly devouring and engendering itself
Whirlpool space
And drop into height
Spaces
Clarities steeply cut
Suspended
By the night's flank
Black gardens of rock crystal
Flowering on a rod of smoke
White gardens exploding in the air
Space
One space opening up
Corolla
And dissolving
Space in space
All is nowhere
Place of impalpable nuptials

Chocolate Milk, Chocolate Syrup, Chocolate Cup

chocolate milk, chocolate syrup, chocolate cup
when im putting in chocolate syrup i put too much
i wish i had a chocolate pup in a chocolate cup
in a chocolate world!

but that would be alot to eat
for just one little girl!

if chocolate was a talent
Id be the chocolate master!
chocolate storms and tornadoes are natural chocolate disasters!

there would be chocolate houses and chocolate apartments and chocolate hotels for rent!
People eating chocolate all day without paying a single cent!
All their money would be in chocolate banks w chocolate robbers
Chocolate dinners like chocolate spaghetti and chocolate covered lobsters!

Chocolate chocolate chocolate BOOO!
(and no vanilla)

Hungry Angels

Tonight I will not sleep
I will call you in my eyes.

My hands were trembling
when I opened the book.
Words you uttered long back
tumbled out ashen-faced.
I started burning inside.

Where did we take a wrong turn?
The oven had baked a burnt-out
face. They are altering genes.
Suddenly it is going to start
a riot among the gods,
a pure kill.

Frightened I move in circles around
the little black hole in the center.
Martians would throw the boys
to appease the hungry angels.

Forgetting The Pain

What is this feeling.
My gut turns.
My insides set ablaze.
Oh how they burn.
A knot in my throat.
And a tear in my eye.
Is this what they call sadness?
Is this what they call remorse?
Is this what they call grief?
But it is only a tiny creature I barely have known.
How could it ever effect me so?
I don't understand why it happens.
But I don't want it no more.
If only I could get rid of it by throwing it out the door.
Please disappear, I beg of you have mercy on the very essence of my soul.
And the next morning I wake it's completely gone.
But only so long as I don't think about it.

The basic tenet of black consciousness is that the black man must reject all value systems that seek to make him a foreigner in the country of his birth and reduce his basic human dignity.

Chocolate Is A Food Group

I love chocolate.
So should you.
Milk chocolate,
Dark chocolate.
It's good for you, too.

Chocolate cake,
Chocolate candy,
Chocolate pie.
Take away my chocolate
And I might die.

White chocolate,
Hot chocolate,
Even chocolate soup...
Any chocolate lover knows
Chocolate is a food group.

Save Us

Too late to call for the priest
He is not here anymore
We look at the age of the beast
And weve seen its vast armies form
Hear our call
Chorus: please, save us
Please, save us
In permanent madness we live
No time for life and for love
To take is the rule, not to give
Insanity comes from below
To take us all
Chorus: please, save us
Please, save us
We believe that the phenomena of nature
Are the expression of infinitive intelligence
We express our belief that all forms of life
Are manifestations of spirit
And thus, all men are children of god
Far from down below one comes prepared to take us all
Waiting for his future and the final call
We stand on the edge of the world
Just one step more and we fall
Guide us and please take our hands
Without you were weak and alone
Hear our call
Chorus: please, save us
Please, save us
Now!
Save us--from the gods of thunder
Save us--from the dogs of war
Save us--from the creeping nightmares
Save us--from the evils course
Save us--from our own ignorance
Save us--from the man in black
Save us--from the desolation
Save us--from the hate attack
Save us--oh please
Save us--please save us
Save us--oh please
Save us--now!

Lets Call A Heart A Heart

Arthur johnston / sonny burke
When were in a friendly situation
My conversation may not be smart
But if were to have a perfect understanding
Lets call a heart a heart
There are words that should be whispered gent@y
Thats evidently the way to start
If I tell you what my dreams have been demanding
Lets call a heart a heart
Can I prove how I yearn
Just by the turn of a phrase
Can I keep my control
When all my soul is aflame
Maybe wed call a true confession
And in discretion on someones part
But if Im to say how madly I adore you
Lets call a heart a heart

Why They Call It Falling

It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin
It's like glidin
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together
We talked about forever
I was certain it was Heaven we had found

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

But you can't live your life
Walkin in the clouds
Sooner or later
You have to come down

It's like a knife
Through the heart
And it all comes apart
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole
It's a cave
It's kinda like a grave
When he tells you that he's found somebody new

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin
I don't know

Ooh

Boys and Chocolate

Boys are just like chocolate
They are incredibly sweet
Until you get to know them
And become a little obese with all the baggage they bring.

Their packages seem perfect
On the outside to the naked eye
But once you look inside
You become surprised
Because your chocolate isn’t as sweet as the first time.

Boys play games with you
They will even say that they love you
But it all turns out to be a bunch of lies.

Some people tell me that chocolate is a girls’ best friend
But boys are exactly like chocolate
They won’t be there in the end

When the walls start crashing down
And your heart is broken
That piece of chocolate will leave you to cry
So then you go to another piece of chocolate to ease your mind,
And sometimes in that bunch of unhealthy snacks
You realize you’ve overlooked the one you need
A healthy strawberry.
So you find one and relax,
You dip it in chocolate and what do you see?
The man that you’ve been wanting and will always need,

He’ll be the right one
He’ll be there for life,
And on one happy day you will become his wife

But until that day comes
And even if it leaves
You must remember that not all chocolate is sweet.
