Blue Lemonade

Blue lemonade

Sure taste good

I think you'd agree 

if you understood

How hectic my day

 was, so when I 

got home

I needed something delicious

so the kitchen I roamed

Found the perfect glass

and filled it with ice

Grab some lemonade from the 

fridge and shook it real

nice

Went to to the freezer

and got the Stoli

Blueberi

left by this cutie

 I think her name was Carrie

I think, I guess 

Well, whatever

Whatever kind of Stoli

I would never say 

never

So I sat back down 

and wrote this poem

Drinking Blue Lemonade

Yeah, there's no place like home

The Work

Sometimes it ain't pretty

Sometimes it ain't fun

It's always time consuming

but it gets the job done

It takes your concentration

and plenty of errors from trial

But when you get it to a science

You develop your own style

Not to be cool

or even start a trend

But to fulfill your life's mission

with your back to the wind

T.C

Our Time

Our bodies sweat

Yeah, they get wet

In the room

where you assume 

the position

and it's my 

mission 

to get you there

where you bare

your soul

and your heart 

swoll

en

with love

We reach 

deep

As I teach

you, nice and slow

I love the way you 

flow

and do your thing

your bodies twist, turns and swings

to the rhythm of your breath

but what else is left 

in you

when we're 

through

So you lay

in your beautiful way

And I say,

Namaste'!

Evolving

 Gradually growing

Understanding, knowing

Developing, forming

Cooling the warming

of an expanding universe

and descendants of the first

Woman or Man 

coincidence or a  plan

As we advance forward

Moving toward

The future

of our species

To AD from BC

 from whence we came

Will, we end the same

Returning back to perfection
or emerging new from a resurrection

This we ponder. Our evolution

We Excogitate the solution

or formula

that created who we are
From galaxies to shooting stars

Things progress Things improve
Things flourish, as we move 

through time  
where we find

The resolved 
to 
evolve

 The Supreme Court

Robbing Peter to pay Paul

The conservative judges need to fall

T.C

(Had to get that out of my system)

Find a way
 (to have a great day)


Find a way to make it a great day

No matter what the weather brings your way

Despite the foul things people might say

Shine like the fulgent light rays

Be hopeful like the blessing that we pray
Be optimistic about life come what may

I tell myself this at night when I lay
And in the morning when the skies are dark and gray

But it's not easy when the blues want to stay
And bills pile up faster than you can pay

But you'll feel much better so don't delay
Find a way to have a great day

The Court Jester's

(cause I didn't have enough time to write, "Clarence Thomas is a soulless sell-out!")

The Jester's of the court

have something to report

from high upon their hill

This country has changed

or magically rearranged

and discrimination is no longer real

That sounds so cool 

Thanks, partisan fools

I don't know why we couldn't see

That Zimmerman and Dean

Mitt Romney and the Fox team

are all just an anomaly

That the statistics on home loans

And lack of my skin tone

as CEO's are all valid

That poll tax and tests

states rights and the ID mess

doesn't disenfranchise me at the ballot

But I guess my people are just more lustful

Rather than grateful and trustful

and should learn to kneel, not stand tall 

  Cause if we had any sense

one look at the supreme bench 

And we'd see how well your make up represents all

T.C

Nobody's Perfect

Everyone wants to be perfect

And criticize what's wrong

But all us fall short of glory

And still we must stand strong

 Strong in our convictions

but less judgmental in our tone

See only if you're sin free

Should you be throwing any stones

And why be that destructive 

For we need bridges for the borders

And more people to lead by example

and get their own houses in order

T.C

Live

While planning is a must

Admits the chaos and fuss

Live

Though there's bill to pay

And worries from yesterday

Live

When your all bogged down

And your head starts to pound

LIVE

Despite the roller coaster of our lives

When relief is slow to arrive

In the throws of the storm

When the answer hasn't yet formed

There's always beauty before your eyes

A reason every morning to rise

For opportunity opens wide

To those who spirit hasn't died

So with everything you got, you have to give

 You were blessed with life 

so while you 

have it 

LIVE

Twas the Night Before Summer

Twas the night before summer

and all through the sky

The star light alone was making me

high

The touch of the wind 

felt good on my skin

And the summer solstice 

was luring me in

Her sex appeal and playful ways

Made me lustfully long for her endless days

Yeah, endless days and reckless nights 

where lovers tryst out of sight

And pretty girls are everywhere

choosing bad boys without a care

Where cycles ride wild and free

and happy people are all you see

Laughing, playing, partying late

Twas the night before summer

and I can't wait

T.C

I Wish You Well

I wish you plenty of energy to take on your day

And your hours of work feel like play

That the people you meet become lifelong friends

That your face feels the sun and your backs to the wind

That everything you touch turns into gold

and when you're faced with a challenge you feel really bold

That you have your favorite song stuck in your head

and that you always find favor and your never misled

I wish you well

I wish you a comfortable temperature 

to take a nap

A cute little puppy to lay in your lap

A big cozy chair for your favorite read

And plenty of love so you're never in need

I wish you well

I wish you well, my friend 

and a long life too

And most importantly the courage 

and foresight to make your dreams

come true

T.C

Never Give In

You arrived to be alive

And live a life that conquers strife

To make a mark before you depart

create legacy from your destiny

But sometime you feel like you can't endure, 

Like you're insignificant, you're insecure

But passing thoughts aren't always real

Sometimes they come to rob and steal

They confuse the mind and leave you torn

But through conflict, see, opportunity's born

So honor yourself and the spirit within

 Strive to be your best and never give in

T.C

The Mirror

The mirror is a great tool

for when I'm acting like a fool

And judging someone else's journey

the reflections says that I should learn me

It teaches comfort in my skin

and where the agitation begins

 The image reflected does its part

To reveal the heaviness of my heart

Or when my minds the enemy

I see the physiognomy

That shapes my face and creates the mood

You know that funky ass attitude 

which does me more harm than good

that before I never understood

Yes, meditation, when its deep

Becomes the the mirror of which I speak

I Left My Cell Phone Home, Today

I left my cell phone at home, today

and after 10 min. of  tripping

I thought, "Hey!"

The stars didn't fall from the sky to the earth

Not checking it during a conversation didn't decrease my worth

I didn't feel lonely walking down the street

I wasn't out of touch cause I couldn't send a tweet

I notice my surrounding in great detail
My pocket wasn't vibrating every 5 min. with an email

I actually said, "thank you" when a lady held a door
I didn't ignore the cashier as she rang me up at the store

I daydreamed and relaxed as I drank tea
I was perfectly alright just hanging out with me

I noticed all this and more
and I just have to say

It's all because
I left my cell phone home, today

Lets Get Together

(adapted from Tim Clark's "The Force Of Sound")

Lets get together and create a groove

invite some folks over and they can move

To rhythm that's shared, in the air

under our feet, and everywhere

Created in our hearts to stimulates minds
Sounds of passion moving in time

and space, and measures and notes
from keys

The universal language from sea,
to sea

Yeah, lets get together and create a
groove

The bands ready
What about you?

T.C

Rain, Rain Go Away

Rain pouring down

 all

around

 me

soaking into my skin

watering the earth 

and then

helping the 

flower's

grow

 the rivers

and lakes flow

into the ocean

where the motion

entertains us by 

land or sea

Rain fall free

As we dance with you

all around

As we make love

 to your rhythmic

sounds

As you continue to

cleanse mother earth

I hope some day we're realize your worth

and how you compliment

  sunny days

Yet we curse you

and selfishly say

Rain, rain go away

But since you help

me sleep, tonight,

for a while, 

you may

 stay

Have A Great Life

Every breath becomes seconds
on the clock

Seconds add up to
minutes with
every tick and tock

The minutes become
hours that
we use to strive

to reach the goals
that fill
 the days of our lives

The days are absorbed
by weeks that go by
so fast

And by the time we
look up
months have passed

Months create years
where wisdom is born

Years to decades
and things may become worn

Not worn out but worn well
if we do it just right

So make the most of your 
time and have a great 
life

T.C

Life Is Precious

When we can accept the cloudy skies

And stop judging the splinter in others eyes

We will be open to find 

The beauty of life in time

and space 

on this place

We call Mother Earth

Yes, open to the majesty and worth

of every precious breath

The gifts we can receive before our death

We would see the forest beyond the trees

The droplets of rain that created all the seas

And know all of these

and more

are manifesting before

our eyes

in these lives

That are flying by

but we wouldn't fret or cry

We would just live

(really live)

before we die

The Definition

I am not your definition of me

and no, I can't be what u want me to be

So respect my decision when I say what I mean

See, I'm not for coercion 

so please, don't lean

or slander my name

and expect me to respond

For a thoroughbred

is focused and has 

blinders on

No I'm not the definition of what u 

want me to be

Actually, defining yourself

is a better 

use of your energy

T.C

A Work of Art

They came together

that starry night

Had a glass of wine

and dimmed the lights

He stroked her hair 

and caressed her face

She joined their 

fingers interlaced

She pulled her body

up real close

He whispered a reminder 

of their toast

She smiled and mouthed,

"That sounds good" 

He laid her body 

where they stood

As he gazed in her eyes

his heart did sing

to see the face

of their offspring

For together they both

will do their part

To create a wonderful

work of art

T.C

Move Toward it

Move toward it

without delay

not with anxiety

But do it today

Because time will tick by

 and you'll look up

to the under flowing

of your cup

To hesitation when

it was near

And to hindsight where

everything is clear

So move forward 

the stage is set

Because who needs 

to live with regret

T.C

Love and War

Touch her softly

until she needs

more

Hold her up tall

until she wants it on the floor

Fill her with passion

 till she hates when you leave

Keep it just out of reach

until she's begging to receive

Now, you may ask what all 

this is for

It's just me and my  

lover making

Love and War

T.C

Sweet Young Angel, Fly

(RIP Paris)

Sweet young angel, fly 

As we shed tears from our eyes

We feel your quiet strength

We wish we had a tenth

of your glow and your shine

You graced this earth for such a short time

but you touched many hearts

and now as you depart 

from this earth we can't help but cry

till we meet again

Sweet young angel, fly

T.C

Breakin' Through

There's a beautiful day on the horizon

the bad moon has set and the sun is risin'

High enough to burn the fog from the sky

And so damn bright that I gotta shade my eyes

Then I ride so free that the wind blows back

 but parts like the sea cause there ain't no turning back

Cause I've been challenge by the streets and tested by the storms

And I've been looking forward to this day since I've been born

I'm breaking through

I've nothing more to lose 

and everything to gain

It's about the path we choose

Be it pleasure or of pain

I'm breaking through

I keep my arms breezy and my eyes clear

I'm heading towards my destiny and it ain't fear

or doubt, so when it hits me I know what to do

I dig deep within and uncover the truth

Cause I've been challenge by the streets and tested by the storms

And I've been looking forward to this day since I've been born

So here I am where experience gives clue to the new

Yea, it's onward and upward

cause 

I'm breaking through

Endless Summer (Lyrics)

Summer Nights creep into day

 Bonfires get washed away

Brown skin bathes in the sun

And lovers clothes seem to come undone

oooh yea

Endless Summer

oooh yea

Like no other

Summer rain flows from the sky

and the moon reflects in your beautiful

eyes

Gentle winds blow in the air

An endless summer

seems to be everywhere

oooh yea

Endless Summer

oooh yea

Like no other

(Change)

And we know seasons change

in the blink of the eye lives can rearrange

But to us, it'll never come to pass

Cause these feeling, for us, will always last

oooh yea

Endless Summer

oooh yea

Like no other
