"P"


while... conversating with trees...
I watched as...
they got drunk from... wine-colored leaves...
I... sipped on... sunlight...
transformed by... melanin...
half-baked I... receive...
revelations! thru my skin...
visions altering realities... perceptions...
synchronicities unveiling mankind's... deceptions...
quantumly strung on...
solar charged... organic hallucinogens...
I'M HIGH! on this... Life!
so... where other poems end...
this U.N.I. verse only begins...
to show and... tell a reality of... revolution...
be careful, keep up! our Mother Earth spins...
for a reason...
do the knowledge... for everything in life...
there is a... time and a... season...
FOR REAL Y'ALL... the time for...
boycotts... marches... and sit-ins...
is... OVER!
no time... left for protests... only solutions.
the HER...ricanes are the.. prelude
now... HIM... HE...[ME?]... that SUN U see...
is about to go... SUPERNOVA!
Ameri...ka... ka... ka must pay for its... sins.
so I... spit... fire thru... words that burn...
if we stop... "giving away" our power, and...
"take" responsibility... our world will take a... turn...
for the... better, but until it does...
HIS words will get... hotter, and HER storms...
more wet... "we've only just... begun"...
to put and end... to the...
"divided and conquered" mindset...
and "A"... return to the... ONE!
this little diddy... called "P" for "poem"...
is so U don't... forget...
if "we" dont "do it"... it aint gonna get "done"...

YEAH!... ALL of THAT!... I just said...
from a little drink of...
SUN!

CHEERS! here's to... FREEDOM

and so it begins... this... poem in progress. this is the release of creative potential... thought seeds planted within the medium of... cyberspace. some of the seeds will definitely resemble poems, some... may not. i really don't expect words to ever be exactly what they are describing, they are just fingers pointing at the moon, so... don't bite my finger! just enjoy the experience of the moon. in all of her phases... she is the force behind the rise and fall of... life's pulse, the beat... of all hearts. This is a book! Don't let the appearance, or randomness of order fool you... this is a bonafide book. As I said before, "a poem in progress"... a journal, tracking the development of a human poem... written by the Grand Author of the Universe Herself... translated by me [her chosen vessel]. Imagine if you will... a man impregnated with a seed of awareness, from SHE... blessed to nourish this germ of life as it gestates into a living being... a "

to exist as a... thought... in a fertile mind... such as yours... gives birth to a single smile... folded upon itself a thousand times... ten thousand times... so many times that... it's energy becomes the collapsed light of a... UNIverse unfolding... where... I become your world... at the same time... U become mine... and everything under the sum of... these suns... is a child of... ONE! thought... ONE! aim... ONE! destiny. deep... penetrating... thoughts... shared... thru U and Me... they're like... sex in the morning... hugs before bedtime, and... kisses while U dream. in other words... awake or asleep... U are on my mind. do I have to tell U... it is the experience of U that makes me happy...or... can U see it when I smile? so... i'm going down... to southern hemispheres where... soul food abounds, flesh covered mounds... nourish luv-starved spirits... passion plays... songs of desire for all who... strive to live it, not just... hear it. how have

[photograph - Thandiswa Mazwai] it is afrikan house music that touches her spirit… and moves her body… it is her body that… speaks to me in ancient tongues… without words… yet full of meaning… my muse… she dances to the rhythm of the universe… she steps… with a graceful equilibrium that transcends the polarities of creativity… merging... darkness and light… bridging the gap caused by the separation of black and white… she stands between two worlds.. and binds them with the strength of her spirit… giving courage to the ones who still fear the freedom of… oneness. she inspires me… putting words in my mouth… nourishing my poetic destiny… sometimes white people are just people… were the words she said to me… yeah! and sometimes black people are just… people too… but what do these words mean… in a world where… so many people… have forgotten… what it means to be human… conditioned by clichés like… this is a dog eat dog world… our humanity has taken a backseat… and the anima
