My Love's A Drifter

Take a closer look
A closer look inside of me
there through my eyes it can be seen
all my fears; the worries I suppress within
Dare to stare
Stand there...
long enough to see me
many aren't able
I've been broken in a thousand pieces every time...
cuz every time, I'm faithful.

You never stand too close cuz I'm contagious
all this love I have I can't repress
you're bound to catch it
Love...
my heart's a mess

Is that why you always leave me?
that why keep your distance?
I ask; why do you leave me everytime?
Shattered
broken in a thousand pieces?

Love why do you love to leave me?
Why do you love me till it hurts?
Is it that you love to hate me?

If it's my love you seek why do you love to leave me?

Bullshit Propaganda!

I get consumed in independence...
"girl power" is what we're calling it today
strength not measured in the form physicality
we're only as strong as our ability to "walk away".
Women are acknowledged in a positive light only when they hustle 9 to 5
respect never shed on those grinding graveyard shifts concealed as dancing hustlers of a party life
Social networks portray glamorous images of what should be idolized
you got have it all together, just for someone else to recognize
and so, we all have it all together
because "birds of feather flock together"
we all livin, we all winnin and we don't care how much it is...
fuck the price, we spendin
She cakes wit her new cake, he rakes wit his new single
we all celebrities and rappers and we never fall in love, we "mingle"
Forget reaching for a hug during harder times
affection is now just visible weakness
and we can't ever let em think we're leak links
Nowadays we gotta hide when we're in pain
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter accounts deactivated cuz no longer can you make it rain.
I guess i got a different prespective and I'm not ashamed to express it
I can accept it, I'm unafraid to confess it
it's all bullshit propaganda and we're all fucked up in one way or another!

True Love Cannot Be Moved

I say this to you, if your heart doesn't want to burn a hole through your chest then it definitely aint' love.
To follow love is to follow pain, to follow sorrow and embrace the frozen heartache as your fiery heart melts it all away resisting its liquid form and not allowing itself to be put out. This my dear, is love. Love knows no pain because we are the temples built to consume it. Love is simply the energizing force that passes through us leaving just enough inside so that our spirits follow steadily, unmoved right behind. True love only fears not being felt. True Love cannot be moved.


Tai Truth

So I realize I've been traveling a lot lately and I also realize doing so is part process of me finding myself. I am so humbled and grateful that God allows me to enjoy the luxuries of doing so however; I know there is a greater purpose than that of my own. I walk new streets of ancient struggle and capture beautiful flowers watered by sorrow. He stands there with his empty, white bucket that has been engraved with the dirt from his hands which massage Mother Earth daily. I wanted to simply walk into the ice cream parlor so that the rain wouldn't wet my hair... All he hoped was that the rain would fill his bucket. #another world! #so many of us are walking zombies :.( #humbled!

I  use to believe happiness was someone I had to search for

Then I believed happiness was someone who had to find me

but now...

now, I believe happiness is something I can only find within myself 

After all; how can we share what we don't have???

Bare and exposed
This tree stands alone
Alone...
But it still stands
Tall & strong
Only temporarily robbed of its beauty by winter's unforgiving cold
In the dark
But still...
It reaches forward; toward the light
Despite its crooked appearance and deformation it continues to reach and extend itself
For it knows the sun is soon to shine.
I am that tree!
Tai Truth

Stoplight

When the sun sets and the dark sky hovers
When everyone is gone and I drive away
It's always at the first stoplight...
It hits me and it hurts.

Water like me

 

 

I am like water: fluid, soft and yielding. I am strong!

 

"Water is fluid, soft and yielding.

But, water will wear away rock that is rigid and cannot yield.

As a rule,

whatever is fluid, soft and yielding

will overcome whatever is

rigid and hard.

This is another paradox:

what is soft is strong."

-Lao-Tzu

He chuckled sarcastically as he asked me if I was falling in love...

he'll never know I almost slipped.

FAR AWAY HARLEM

JUST AROUND THE CORNER

I SIT

JUST AROUND THE CORNER

CLOSE TO YOUR HEART

I'M HERE SITTING

FAR AWAY

AROUND THE CORNER

AROUND THE CORNER

I'M NEVER TOO FAR

IN FAR AWAY HARLEM

MY HEART DOES NOT TRAVEL

EVEN AS MY FEET ARE MOVING

IT RESTS

JUST OUTSIDE THE WALLS SHIELDING YOUR OWN

QUIETLY NEAR

IN FAR AWAY HARLEM

I don't know much 

but

I feel everything!
