What We Talkin' Bout??

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! I sure did. I'm thankful for the many.. or the few, that take time out to read my blogs, my poetry.. I'm also thankful for those who have read one of my poems or books and have enjoyed them. I hope my words help and inspire those who read. Thanks!!

Just an update for y'all... Still working on a group project that I'm extra excited about! We are very close to bringing that out and giving the world our story. I'm working with some talented people and we hope you all will enjoy!

I've made a few changes on my solo projects. I've decided to put out my poetry book Created to Love before Reality Dreaming. (Scroll down to one of my earlier posts to see more about Created to Love) I've done this to kind of give each project the space it needs and not crowd the release of the projects. Created to Love will come out in February (not on Valentines Day) and is a little different look on love.

Reality Dreaming is still coming but the first few months of 2010 will be packed. So I'm thinking of the summer of 2010 to release Reality Dreaming, which is already done.

I can't wait to put these poetry books out, but I got to show a little patience lol... hopefully y'all can too. Stayed tuned my friends...

___Sunset___

Sunset

The tides splash

The night and day clash

Creating and unforgivable color

The kind to make you sit back and wonder

How the sky is the way it is

How far away that bright star is

Even the birds take a break to marvel

At the sunset color in caramel (carmal)

When the sun goes down its like eye lids slowly shutting

And when they open, up the sun is coming

It goes down but never cools off

The air is so soft

Till the next day, it’s almost like a slow goodbye

Its crazy, all of this is in her eyes

))))Excuses((((

Excuses

“I’m from the hood” is an excuse
Point has been beat over the head, abuse
Yeah every one has a head start
But you still have a role to play, a part
You not the only one to come from the bottom
You not the only one to see a friend one day, next they shot him
Poverty is a way of life to most of us
Bad credit, bills, debt, loans, all ways to trap us
But playing into their hands isn’t smart
And taking back our community is a start
Stop using the hood as an excuse
You’re good with numbers and weights, put that to use
Any education is a plus
Business smarts and street smarts is a must
With this new age of technology
To succeed you really have every possibility
Stop using excuses, people tend to want to lend a hand
You can ask for help using your own plan
Its tough enough trying to get ahead
Put down the gun and pick up a book instead
Any body can be a thug but not all dads are fathers
You yelling racism, so why bother
But you ain’t doing anything to claim that
You still in the same situation you were five years ago, you whack
Climb the success ladder, how about that
Then maybe you have an argument that’s intelligent
But other than that your excuses are irrelevant

(>>HANDS<<)

These words are like hands reaching out
When life goes side ways and you don’t know what it’s about
I hope my words lend a hand
If to do nothing but help you stand
Stand strong in the face of adversity
Because it will happen certainly
Fall into water and you can’t swim?
Don’t panic, my hands I’ll lend them
Reach in with no hesitation to help
So hopefully a thick skin you’ll develop
I hope to be solid like a strong rope
When in need I’ll be your friend
Just grab my hand
