So Much Love

I have so much love to give
it ridiculous
but this crazy world
just fuss and cuss
the love under the rug.
I sit and ponder
with my two brain cells,
how I wonder
why the lust and vanity
for measly inanities.
I could be wrong
but I stand strong
on the truth that 
this world won't be here long
it must pass
with all the shattered class
trampling down Jah grass.

I have so much love to give
till it overflowing
and I feel like throw in the towel
because it devalue and hard to revalue.
walking down the road 
from a distant coast
a old radio a wonder 
"where is the love".

I wonder if old will bring new?

Sleepwalking

wakeup!
wakeup!
stop daydreaming.
can't you feel it?
Can't you see it?
Get out of your head
stand up now
see what's around you
see what's true
distractions are your enemy
they defeat you
stop you
from moving
sleepwalking backwards
into fantasy
unreal
not true
he will distract you
cast shadows
to defeat you
lett you sleep there
camp there
defeating you.
I see you
drowning 
falling
deep
in discontent
to maladaptive
malware
shortcircuiting your truth
rocking the cradle
disturbing our peace.
Rest
yes - 
but watch!

The Years

Twenty years
have come and gone
still there are tears.
How to recover?
I do not know
Where to turn?
I cannot say.
I feel just as I did -
wrenching pain
of loss
and still
the world looks on
as if nothing is amiss.
The only change are
the number of years
nothing else
nothing quite seems real.
Grieve engulfs me
terribly
hammers at my resolve.
I must carry on
continue on,
the dream must stay alive!

The Trill

in the bowels of despair - 
when duppy fraid fi walk -
i hear
a quiverying rapid rasping sound
a most thrilling trill
softened the blow
of my bloodied daggered tears
a sweet swift song to repair
a tattered soul in loss
who life could no longer bear.
I held the rope within an inch 
of sweet release
but paused
what should I do 
i cannot bear
to leave behind 
my bittersweet trilling song.

To the Wilderness, I Go

Sluggishness slumps on the ground
spread wide
drowning in inaction
doomed by depression
into thin air melts resolution.
Quick 
give me mission
give me Purpose
so it can disapear.
Know there is more here -
gluttony is that you sitting at my table?
into the wilderness I go
seek truth like the true Light
into the wilderness I go
so Chaos will not grow,
a quiet place
a sacred place
where men should stop to shop,
resolute
faithfully
humbly I go.
With nowhere else 
each step I take
seems to scream and shout in glee
Yes this is the place to be!
Retreat I must
I have to readjust
and then with confidence 
reenter.

When you Love Someone

It hurt bad
I know
I can see it on your face.
When they leave you
their essence flitters everywhere.
you may find a penny
they left you
sweet smell of roses 
assail you
try to comfort you.
The scent of them lingers
memories embrace and tell you
of much warmer days.
Something shifts inside you
touch deep, deep inside you
then all you can do
is just cry.
Cry until you don't have to
because they loved you
and you loved them.
When you love someone
they never really leave you.
