“Idle Thoughts”

Stuck in Idle times

With a wandering mind

With no way to impede its growth

Want to move forward but feet

Captured by anxiety

Lived years but nothing to show

Pray for better days

And each day I change

A gold glow shows from my soul

Feel a break through coming

It’s not all for nothing

Earth quaking from beneath my soles

And as the ground splits

My body goes with it

With ease, well, how did she know

Let nature run its course

On who I was before

I knew what I know

Under the Eiffel

My Love

Meet me under the tower

Not to french kiss

But to enjoy each others company

somewhere foreign

Eyes locked

Our friends think we boring

Jokes on them

Your my best

Amigos first

Lovers Second

Our convos

Amazing

Thirsting for more

All under the Eiffel

Laisse moi entrer

N'ayez pas peur de l'amour

Peace & Love

The Lost King

Citizens please smile

Freedom does not have to be ruled

Threats of old nooses

Loose ends

Opposition hang in every word

Media secretly loves it

We seen how they covered public enemies

Power behind the lips

Citizens please do not run

In the freedom

We can change it

Scare tactics from the past

Broken promises

We seen this movie before

His lies are digging the hole

Question Is who is going to lay in it?

Peasants usually pay the price

Usually with their last pennies

Poor liberty

Peace& Love

True ROMANCE

Love What you do

Do what you Love

The SWEET life

If you feel empty

Just go do what you are meant to do

LIVE

Leave the toxicity in the past

What’s your true LOVE?

Your dreams are closer than you think

With a clear mindset you can reach the stars

Focus on how to get there

There will be obstacles

There will be doubters

It won’t be perfect

But reaching your goals would be the best feeling in the world

Like drinking wine with your SOULMATE

Smoking a cuban cigar reading a best seller

ROMANCE

Be obsessed with it

Let them think you crazy

Growth is understanding you are on your own while on the path

Remember greatness can be lonely

The finish line will bring both LOVE and hate

Its your job to decipher

Growth is knowing your

True ROMANCE

Summer Vibes

We can smile again

We can breathe

We can dance in the rain

Sun and blue skies

People throwing shade

Take what is owed and whatever we crave

Sunglasses and palm trees

Every where we go feel like heaven

Enjoy every feeling this summer

Enjoy the campfires and smores

We just have a few Summers left

Treat everything like a blessing

Cause as you know we are not promised tomorrow

Forget your sorrow

You deserve the Summer

From beach days in the sand

To Bar-b-que days with the fam

Sunglasses and laughs

Whatever you do

Get out

Feel free Feel live

Enjoy the summer Vibes

Peace & Love

Cash & June

An eternal flame

It can last a lifetime

First met when committed with someone else

But the story goes

You have one soulmate

My heart pounds

Just for one

Stuck in the false steps

Dreaming of you

Hoping to see you

While i walk the line

I will rather have 1% of you

Than live without your smile

Your quirks

Friends first

Just a shoulder

Wrong timing i guess

Soon we will be attached

Cant say one name without the other

Legendary

The game of cat and mouse will be OVER

Our Love will be cemented

Rumors will tell a different story

But we will be far away

Too far to hear

Too far to pay them any attention

We keep stepping to our music

Modern day Romeo & Juliet

Bonnie & Clyde

Johnny Cash & June Carter

Peace & Love

Limitless

Sometimes I wonder if you fell

Prayers were answered

It is pretty amazing to see your smile

Sometimes I question who am I?

Do I deserve her

Her kisses are like honey, so sweet

Yet I thirst for more

Like water from a well on a humid day

We both have fears

But smile every time we stare at each other

Like a contest

Living without any secrets

Only our hearts matter

The whispers don’t

Rumors fall short

We too high

High off the drug that is you

High off the giggles

Love our rides home from the fake life

Love when we romance

We risk it all

Rumors keep circling

But we peddled away

People have thoughts of us wondering off

Not knowing they are lost

They look past their mirrors

Cannot face themselves

While we know who we are

That makes us… well…limitless

Peace & Love

Father Stretch My hands....

The almighty chooses you. In a world full of crabs in a barrel. Be the exception. Big up others. Support others. That is what a leader does. The sun is big enough to shine in multiple areas. Most of us wont get the message. Blinded by the he say-she say. Blinded by your own insecurities. Open your eyes. This is the ultimate playground. The world is yours (ours).

RememberLive for your purpose. Your purpose will set you on the path of tranquility. That will lead to your FREEDOM.

Peace & Love

These Mothеrfuckers ain't stoppin' me...

Sometimes you doubt your journey. That’s normal. It don’t mean you quit. You have to push through it. At the other end of the struggle there is beauty. The light of the end of the tunnel. Life is like a roller coaster. While on the ride it seems like a lifetime but in reality, it’s only a minute plus. On average of course. Everything you want will be a fight. This is not supposed to be easy. Keep going. We feel alone by design. The path is meant for you and only you. But you have to make time to express the fear of losing your shit to someone close to you. I’m blessed to have people in my circle that understand the goal and listen. They also encourage me to keep it going. If you don’t have that don’t be afraid to reach out. Even if it's just in writing. With all that being said, SMILE. It doesn’t rain everyday. Love yourself. One last thing, not everyone is going to understand the vision. Art is understood by artists with a positive mindset. Start with a blank canvas. Paint your picture. That’s how you WIN.

Peace & Love

Purple Summer Nights

We look up at the stars

One shoots from one side to another

We both make a wish

Mine is to be with you

I wonder

Yours?

At your favorite “spot”

Near the canal

Enjoying pleasant talks

From goals to dream catchers

We believe in love

it ain’t easy

But its worth it

Love we can make a playlist and listen to the music our heart desires. Love we can talk about our past & future. Holding hands while i drive. You lit my cigar. Smoke & my cologne fills the aroma. Your eyes tells me what you want to do to me. I love nights like this. I Miss vibes like this.

Peace & Love

Euphemism

My pen wanders aimlessly

scratching paper 

with no real end game

no goal

I never have new material

not really

although occasionally I may hit the mark 

or make a metaphor worth reading

I'm barely succeeding where it matters

because they all have the same meaning

I just word it differently

repetitive content

accredited to my loss

hellbent on reiterating 

my inability to cope

and the blackness of my soul

emptiness 

depression 

and hopelessness

packaged pretty wih a bow

rhymes and similes 

disguise despondency 

mask melancholy 

when they're described in a way that can flow

no matter which phrases I choose to use

the point is always the same

catchy lines hide disdain 

carefully worded analogies contain 

more pain within them

than could ever be felt physically 

but they're merely stanzas 

figures of speech

not warnings 

or the reasoning behind my antisocial ways

not even slightly self criticism 

it is symbolism 

this is simply wordplay

“Venus”

Starting to realize the meaning of life 

Whatever you attach to it.

Whatever your mind is amusing 

That is what you’re doing.

What ever desires you crave 

That’s what you’re abusing.

Whenever you are afraid 

That’s what attract

Ceasing the thought of wanting you back

Old me 

Old we

Realizing it can never be 

Changing heart

Changing thought 

Time and time again 

Is your neighbor really your friend 

Remove the masks

Dive deep within 

Take a journey with me to my souls darkest corner

Ohhhh, how we mourn her 

Being at the surface 

Anxious and nervous 

And loves to take a peak 

At who has taken her place 

A beautiful face 

With a gorgeous soul

This new girl 

That nobody knows 

Not even me 

Who is she

Ohhhh the beauty 

Ohhhh the allure 

Ohhhh how we adore her

Adorn her 

Ohhhh how we mold her 

Future ancient being 

Life, now, seems so small

But holds so much meaning

“Ascertain the truth”

Why say things you don’t mean? 

Just because you feel you don’t mean anything 

To the people you once meant something to.

Why say things you don’t mean?

Just to bruise the ones

That hold a special place in your heart?

The spark of the rumbling of war.

Why say things you don’t mean? 

To the people who mean everything 

To this small place in your heart.

How could you?

Why say things you don’t mean?

Just to say anything 

For the sake of saying something 

Rather than saying nothing.

What do you mean?

Why say things you don’t mean?

To yourself.

Afraid you’ll never be better 

Writing off the ending of your story.

Why would you do that? 

Why say things you don’t mean? 

When you could speak your truth 

Afraid there’s no one listening 

But there’s always someone listening to you.

Me.

So I sing 

I sing 

I sigh

Sighs of relief 

This is me.

This is she. 

Swimming to shore

Though unsure

Of what life’s to bring 

Understanding the meaning of things

Super Blue

Her favorite color is blue. Like the sky. Shes tired of living in the cage. She wants to spread her wings. She wants to fly. On the verge of losing hope. Lost. All she has is her own LOVE. She leans on poetry to release her pain. No more tears left. Everyone she belived in has turned their back. It’s rare for the soul to come back from this. Nothing scarier. She is ready to make the jump. Her faith has been tested before. Failure is not an option. This time she feels SUPER. Something about falling in flat in your face. Make you feel invincible. Unbreakable. Her motto “This year win yourself”. Her motto is becoming her religion. The temple realizes what’s good for the soul. Can’t wait to document her progress. Once she takes flight and notices her heart has always been courageous. Some people heart pumps purple. Some pump red. Her heart pumps blue. Full of loyalty, depth, and confident. Rare traits for a cold world. She wants to LOVE. Doesn’t want to fall on the double edge sword. Her wisdom keeps her moving forward. She understands she’s a healer. Like the ocean in the Caribbean.

Peace & Love

“New Beginnings”

Fear 

Such a detrimental entity 

Will consume you if you let it 

Devour your dreams

Tarnish your tenacity 

Convince you that 

Because of mistakes 

There’s no one left for me

Making you forget 

You’re biggest supporter 

Because you’ve always put others before her 

Always wanting to maintain the peace 

Never allowing her to be free to be

Speak her mind from her gut

Sing her hearts song with pure love 

Accepting love 

Radiating it willingly 

Protecting her divine nature 

Putting no one before her 

Afraid of her own power 

Been powerless for so long 

Rewriting her wrongs 

Sewing her seeds 

Watering her garden with faith 

Because fear has no more space here

I am... MADMAX w/ The vision

Yea i keep to myself. Sometimes I can be introverted. Look at what happens when someone opens up to you. Trust in me. Decisions & consequences. Even at my lowest I choose you. Even through the dark roads. I am the light that illuminates through your soul. So follow my heart. Don’t lose yourself in chasing it. No such thing as perfection. That doesn’t mean you keep practicing correction. Be easy with yourself. We stumbled. Your heart was in a good place. Can't save them all. But you can save yourself. We all dream. Seems like i’m the only one trying to live it. I won't apologize for trying to win for us. Keeping everything close to myself for now. You will find out when I make it rain. Some break codes. I stick to mine. I got this. Fuck regrets. “Some things I must confess. Spoke my truth, paid my debt”. Life can be so amazing if you let go. I swear this is the last time I let my ego down. I need it to gas myself to space. Fly by the doubters. The Vision is mine. Yea this time I keep the Vision to myself. This time I trust myself. Want to know?…You got me fucked up

Peace & Love

“Holding on”

Trying to take the biggest step of my life

Heart trying to tell me what’s right 

Ignore all the noise 

Follow the light 

But the light keeps getting dimmer

By egos resistance to let me expand within 

Ridicule or advice 

Don’t know what’s going on in my mind 

Trying hard not to lose it 

So I wipe my eyes again 

And keep looking forward 

Can see the light again 

But the light keeps getting dimmer

By egos resistance to accept someone as friend 

And not see everyone as an enemy 

That’s what ego portrays to me 

Stopping me in my tracks 

But I always fight back 

Even though this time

The light is getting dimmer now 

Getting harder and harder to find 

Avoiding giving up on her 

Let go of the concept of time 

Let Mind run free in the land of creativity 

Without the entrapment of rules and regulations 

Create my hearts desires because demons 

Are what I am facing

“Welcome to Self-Love Island”

Isolating herself from the influence of others 

So she’s able to deeply discover

Who she truly is at her core 

No inspiration from lover nor friend 

Just a solo mission 

Exploring deep within 

The things she loves

The things she adores 

Her dents and cracks 

Her scars and sores 

Learning to listen 

From a space of understanding

Flying away from old ways

Praying for a safe landing 

Remove negativity 

Cleanse her soul 

Accepting all parts of her

Young and old 

Warm and cold

Admitting where she’s hurt others 

Observing how she’s hurt herself 

Accepting things not on her path 

And leaving it for someone else 

If she could stand in the ocean

Stop fighting the waves

She would float naturally 

To where she’s supposed to be today

Learning to ride the tide 

Without wondering why 

Accepting the sun as well as the stars

Shut up and take action

Kids deserve to live. Action speaks volumes. Sad days like these happen way too often. Our children deserve better. The right & left will discuss politics. Meanwhile we attend more funerals. When will it be enough? Nothing will change. In reality they don't care about souls. They only see green. A piece of paper has more worth than a beating heart. R.I.P to the fallen.

Peace & Love

“Silver Linings”

The harder days 

Make me pray harder for 

Sunshine in my soul

Conscious and aware

That I won’t be here for long

But now feels like forever

Don’t know if it will get better

But I pray 

For brighter days and forgiveness

For not knowing the right way 

Broken compass

Don’t know how to navigate these things 

Pray for you more than I pray for myself 

And maybe that’s too selfless 

Since I’ll never know if you do the same 

All alone and feel so helpless

Think I’m aware

But my awareness is shattered 

From the moment you told me 

My story doesn’t matter 

So instead of being The Mad Hatter

I pray

For brighter days in my soul

Because there will always be rain 

Teaching myself how to weather the storm 

Not be so ashamed 

So I look to the stars 

Knowing one day this

Will be my new home 

Getting comfortable up there 

For when the storm comes on
