As Unstoppable As Water

As Unstoppable As Water



Salt water combined with air
crashing, calm, unfavorable or fair

Storms or sun are an inevitable fate
But, no dominion over the natural state

Pure, powerful, as vast as the sea
plunging like waterfalls in love with gravity

Supremely designed like ripples to wave
Rhythmically hypnotic 
Captivating the gaze

Imperfectly perfect
no judgement or fuss

The greatest wonders of the world
are people like us

Flawed and foolish
filled with promise unfulfilled

But unstoppable as water
flowing down a hill

The Remedy

The Remedy







Rise, from the silent mind
Rediscover. It's healing time

Breathe, into complexity
For what ails, it's the remedy

Feel ,the body moving through
painful barriers of old and new

Stay, though you feel unsure
patience is how you find the cure

to be 
The remedy
Therapy 
The remedy

Sweat, running down your brow
You're on the path, the way, the tao

Expand, evolve, grow
For Egotism is a formidable foe

Create, with a will and a plan
Destiny in the palm of your hand

 Treatment, to get you on track
Unfolding while you're on the mat

You'll see,
 it's the remedy
Yoga therapy
 Is the remedy

Be Quiet (The practice of meditation)







Old way of thinking
never let you be

Open to the realm
of possibility 

Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet

Head full of yolk
 judgement of words

Disastrous Chances
Vision blurred

Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet


Afraid not of greatness
Tame the mind

Educated fools
  dozens for a dime

Be quiet, be quiet, be quiet

Deluge of words
come spilling out

The intellect whispers
just shut your mouth

And, be quiet, be quiet, be quiet

Once More


Once More




Voice says shun, evade, shirk
Body says not ready to put in the work

Mind says over think this and that
Routine says just drag your ass on the mat

Path says I'm rocky, vague and unclear
Soul says warriors are never detoured by fear

Journey says upon faltering feet
we still endure

Practice says yoga has seduce me once more

Poetry, Picture and Song

Poetry, Picture and Song


Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

Maybe it started with 
comic books

Their story lines
and aesthetic hooks

Or maybe hours by
the radio

coping lyrics and
imagining shows

Or, could it have been
my first singing
group

4 lil' Second graders
singing on a stoop

Whatever it was it
had me, man

Rhymes, pics, lyrics,
pencil in my hand

Through the years
it's remained the same

whether monetary 
or to stay sane

A creative spirit
eager to shine

 Melodic Meditations
melodies for the mind

Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

Poetry, Picture and Song
My whole life long

The Return (T)






I remember her flowing locs
Her tbj was "Forget Me Nots"

And, she loved to be in the open air
Under the moon and stars
her soul she'd bare

Her voice, her touch
her skin, her hips
The way she kissed
me with her full lips

Haunts my dreams
and makes me yearn

for the one and only
and her return

T
