Great day to be alive

 Great day to be alive

whether Easter, passover or on the grind

Open your mind to all that's true

Resurrecting spirits of things a new

Spring forward don't fall back

Forget all the stuff that you lack

warm weather has reared it's head

No matter the temperature, winter's dead

And as the flowers break through the earth

Our love for life has a rebirth

Sitting Here

Sitting here waiting with my phone

Thought you said you were gonna call me 

when you got home

Sitting here just thinking bout when 

we first met

How I wanted to kiss you but 

I said not yet

When you're not here the 

skies are grey

 but just the 

thought of you can

make my day

You're my heartbeat now 

in my head and all around

Sitting here just wanting you to
feel my lips

all over you right now
I can barely
resist

or just to hold you while we 
kiss

Right here in my arms girl
wrapped like a gift

Just have you here I'd do anything
and every little thing you say

your my heartbeat now
 in my
head and all around

Mr. Mandela

Mr. Mandela get well soon

I pray on my knees 

under the light of the moon

your influence is unmatchable

Your spirit is the drive 

for all who resist injustice

in their lives

You led a struggle for freedom 

for years

and because of your bravery

apartheid disappeared

Mr. Mandela, I wish you your strength renewed

equivalent to what you used to change

a nation's mood

Or even the world

with the power you possessed

So with all my heart I wish you the best

Yes, speedy recovery Mr. M

And thanks for your decades of sacrifice 

Sincerely, 

Tim

You make the world a better place

Your thoughts create

So take time to meditate

Your words inspire

So choose words that lift people higher

Your presence is felt

So work with the hand you're dealt

Your actions impact

So use finesse and tact

You influence all that's around

with your movement, look and sound

You possess powers that persuade

 permeating everything you have made

And, the world is better for it

T.C

You Inspire

You inspire

set my soul on fire

take me mentally higher

You are a queen

  My love supreme

Center of all my dreams

 The star 

that inspires songs on my guitar

I love you baby, just the way you are

Let me bathe in your beauty 

make love to you like it's my duty

over and over again

you are the sweetest sen-

sation. My motivation.  My love, 

you are my inspiration.

Forever and ever

 come rain or sunny weather

Leave you baby, never

 cause you inspire 

set my soul on fire

and of your love I will

never tire

T.C

Everything must Change

Change is in the air

everyday, everywhere

except in the 

closed mind

where progress

 is very hard to find

See nothing ever stays

the same

but to resist  it

is what

we were trained

Cause sometime change requires pain

but the pain will hardly ever remains

See what we are doing is breaking through

To the inner vision we once knew

The place that we were meant to go

where change really shows us how to grow

T.C

I am Free

I am free
I am free

I know you don't 

understand 

but that's just me

Connecting with my

higher self

my life force energy

Thanking my God

 or  The Creator of the world, 

as I see

Yes, even in my

beliefs

I am free

I am free
I am free

Respectful of who 

you are

and who

you choose to be

Never, ever inhibiting

your

progress

or your creativity

whether I agree with you

or 

 adamantly disagree

 adoration  

of individuality is 

the key

for mutual respect is a component of being free

I am free
I am free

I am free, eternally 

Connecting with all 

and all that will ever be

with reverence, homage and perspicuity

While unique in my
experience
I embrace
all reality

With an open mind or better yet
a universal mentality

From the trivial to the Theory of Relativity

I am heaven, I am earth, I am all the galaxies

Thank God almighty,  I am free

21 Century Detroit I

Celebratory marching to cast out an evil gnome

on the eve of protest marchers protecting Detroit, their home

Separated by realistic and mythical affairs

Longing for unity but unaware on how to get there

Maybe it started years ago with mass suburban flight

Or maybe political corruption has caused the city's plight

but divided we all fall

into the same pit

of us versus them

we all take the hit

Detroiters are black and white 

yellow, red and brown

And until we stand united

we won't turn the city around

T.C

It 

It has power that it pulls from the past 

It has rhythm so go on shake your ass

It what's happening if you ain't in the know

It's what you feel during and after a show

I want it, I need it 

I love it, got to have it

It will open all the doors that are closed

It goes in your mouth and out of your nose

It ain't over till the black ladies "sangs"

It don't mean a thang if it ain't got that swing

I want it, I need it 

I love it, got to have it

T.C

March Madness 

March brings a frenzy

It's every where

You can feel it's thick, it's in the air

 see it in the face of passing peeps

 bringing a bit of anxiety to the streets

 Anticipation, yeah, it's such a trip

 you hear it whispered from folks lips

Cause it's been a long winter

and they're ready to revive

Wishing and hoping for spring to arrive

T.C

Old man winter

Old man winter hit the road

Don't you know It's time to go

You had your reign, now It's done

We need some warmth, the spring time sun

It was really cool early on 

But the season is so gone

 So, pack your bags and move along

We want brown skin, not wan

Hanging around is so very wrong

It's time my friend for your "Swan Song"

T.C

It is what u make it

It is what it is

Some people 

like to say

But that expression's

tired now

so lets just put it

away

We decide what we

 get

So, Lets tell it

like it is

No my friend,

It is what u make it

See we create our world

by everything we do

The high, the lows

It's really up to u

The energy of thought 

and action

created in the mind

requires mental focus

and, of course, ample time

So next time u 

hear someone 

say that silly shit

Say no my friend,

 truthfully,

It is what you make it

T.C

The Rebirth

Get ready for deep, structural change.

Though,  becoming the master may seem a lil strange

 You're tearing down the old and building the new

It's amazing uncovering the power of you

Pealing away the layers that have weighed you down so long

Death to oppression "Rebirth" is your song

Irreversible change. Transforming your being

To the majesty reserved for a Queen or a King

No longer in fear, your totally aligned

You finally realize it's all in your mind

Committed to faith and work that you love

Your mind meets your spirit and you rise above

The fray, the obstacles, the self imposed limits

You boldly go forth, no need to be timid

For you possess a gift and through work it grows strong

Cause you're transforming your being and "Rebirth" is your song

T.C

You turn me on

Touch me with your fingers 

Rub me down

Kiss me with your mouth

and move around

Hold me in your arms

and squeeze me tight

Love my naked body

through the night

You got a thing that's great bout you

One look in your eyes and it shines right through

You got a thing that is special bout you

One look in your face and I see what you do

You turn me on

Whisper in my ear, lady 

what you love

Wrap yourself around me

Hand in glove

Fill me with your passion

burning hot 

Ooh girl, do you lust me

or lust me not

You got a thing that's great bout you

One look in your eyes and it shines right through

You got a thing that is special bout you

One look in your face and I see what you do

You turn me on

A purposeful life

I wanna live from truth. A purposeful life

Never allowing myself to wallow in pain or in strife

Always giving much love and sincere understanding

And whenever I slip, on my feet is where I'm landing

Not because I'm better or more agile than you

But I'm determined with a  purpose and you can be too

It's really simple, but some how we make it seem so hard

But, we where all dealt a hand. We gotta work with our cards.

 Our hearts create the beats that emanate from our souls

So staying in tune to the rhythm of our lives should be the goal

Offering perspectives that are unique and a service to the world

 Hidden treasures that are much more valuable than just diamonds and pearls

So let's dig deep for our gifts and bring them to the surface

And let them shine as we share them, and lets live with purpose

The Ides of March

There's a foul odor

in the air

So the Ides of March

 you better beware

An ill will has come 

and about it lurks

Bringing devastating decrees

like' Right to Work"

It says one thing and does another

The will of the people

it continues to smother

Divide and conquer

it loves to do

But you'll side with it 

till it comes for you

And while its corporate buddies

get more tax breaks

The one's set aside for you it'll take

Cause its band of bullies

 have all the clout

 So they'll in act

laws that you can't vote out

And while it winks at you

with it's suburban grin

it's condescending tone

gets under my skin

It's a snake in geeks clothing

 feigning to

care

So the Ides of March 

you better beware

Move on

As the storm raged on 

I realized my umbrella was not enough

to hold back the drenching rain

and howling winds

My bones feel the chill of

water seeping in

But, I move forward 

Each step swallowed in a pool of mud and debris

As the elements boom with thunder

the lightning blinds my eyes

This, is my reality

There's no time to ponder 

my fate

feel sorry for myself

Or wonder why I'm here on this particular date

I must move on

Down the path I chose I'll

carry on

Not because I'm 

stubborn and just wrong

but the storm I weather now

will make me strong

So  I just move on

got to move on

 When the storm subsides

and all is around is calm

I'll wipe my eyelids 

clean with my palms

 night will cease and

 yield unto the dawn

I will know my inner strength

cause I moved on

Beauty at 22

Mind full of everything

Young girl with a look

in her eyes

Shines like a diamond ring

She was born to make the young boys

cry

Dreams of a brighter day

Where the oceans shine so blue

Walks cross the sand they say

There's a woman who found something to do in her life

And in her eyes you see she's alive 

and with her 

strength you know she'll survive

A woman searching for something that's true 

and her destiny

leads her to you

Beauty at 22

Soft as the month of May

Sweet smells as she enters the room

Special as a holiday

Better days will be coming real soon

What does her reflection say

A woman that's so 

much a woman to

me

Walks cross the sand they say

There's a woman who found something to do in her life

And in her eyes you see she's alive

and with her

strength you know she'll survive

A woman searching for something that's true

and her destiny

leads her to you

Till Another Day

Hold me now for tomorrow comes

and we leave away 

For another day 

in the morning 

sun

Kiss me sweet 

Whisper in my ear

and we'll do the 

thangs 

that 

make our body 

bang 

till the morning dear

And I must live without

You 

And you must live without

me

and the good times 

will cease to be 

Until we meet another day

Spill the wine 

upon my lips 

and we'll laugh 

and play

 until I 

gently lay

between your 

tender hips

Love me slow so slow

never let me go

Until the moon sets 

and 

our only regret 

is that 

we have to go

And I must live without

You 

And you must live without

me

and the good times 

will cease to be 

Until we meet another day
