me watching; it nearly killed me



then again; 

the way it thrilled me...it was 

all that



it was all that awe &amp; that jealousy 

no complacency

just the dawning of this 

non-recoverable

Such a long time back to Omaha.

Through the elephant-eared tent flaps,

past the Orlando skyline

drafting a single ambitious arc

over the horizon and gone.



Miles and months and mouths

forcing food-like product in;

then churning

thought-like rubbish out.

It seemed to breed a rustic stoicism.

So said the optimists in full swing;

their brushes loaded with silver linings,

jousting at gridlocked chicken trucks.

Filtered into the areas of my life 

That were most vulnerable

Love gave me piece

Something to hold onto 

When the world spun too quickly

Hanging out there

More than anyone but The Most High God can

Cause he means more

Helped to create my daughter

Cause I mean more



To him than money



At my worse he still wants me

I saw that in her eyes

She rocked me when she met me

she lost her pride

I'm sorry I've been so uninvested

I wish I coulda been more receptive

I just never felt truly accepted

Wish I coulda met you the first day of my life

maybe then we could have bonded

at 12

I felt dumbfounded at life

How come this makes my chest feel tight

cause you called me a few months ago

I couldn't connect to your soft spoken message

I pray that you heal

so we can build  ...</description>

My subconscious mind is more alive than you're consciousness will ever be



Daughter of The Most High, divine 



Who's more free than me



Spit hot lava lines like mountains in ancient Italy



Yet I can guarantee



There are no poisonous eataries named for me



Fullfillment of prophesy 



Got all beings even the enemy



Runnin' to see



So don't become angry 



If ya man wanna to take a peek



Obviously 



He just needs to know what a Goddess be



Honestly

When we cried together

When tantric practices made our souls collide forever

Spiritually connected

Ritually projected 

Into future notions of 2 becoming 1

In mathematics the perfect sum

Brain waves 

Creating 

The perfect SUN

As the moon kissed planets

A star was born

Metaphysically 

We cascaded into a realm 

Outside of the norm

But inhibitions grew into an adult

And passivity died

And we cried

Remembering the day our spirits touched

freedom laid where lands were inherited

no borderlines; but 

line by line confessions...she 

knower of facts through lessons 

sculpted...she 

handled &amp; handed over many moons

all the moons were given with friendship 

soft lips, broad hips

she backed away

cuz with expectation comes responsibility

and she didn't have any of that to give to me today

I wrote poetry inspired by her gentle fingers.

I felt the lingering warmth of her golden love.

But my memory is stolen by unyielding winter.



I do recall that she made me happy.

Her rays felt like bright lines of laughter.

Her light, a smile that I was forced to answer.

But now my tears freeze on this mournful face.



My mind may recall, and my tongue can recite.

My pen records, but my heart does not know.

Contained in I

So high like stars

Building life

On Saturn’s rings

She sings

Songs of heartaches

Love takes

Over takes

Remakes

And contemplates

She be 

Time told

Centuries old

Without age

Without rage

She is love

Traveling above God

To pour down on WE

will break through and over

no crackup

ceilings will crash down

and

glass will fall 



all

ma said

the bright girls

and

stern women

those raised up

by charging mothers



they won't have to bend 

over backs 

wards left squatting &amp; napping on sofas

their minds broke 

backwards

not picking up calls or that which falls 



oblivious to what’s fallen 



broken pieces

that burst like – yesterday’s hurtful words

not seeing the cultural wars for what they really are...dark prophecy

optical illusions trying to cut deals on a wall street parking lot

where on that very same spot

milling around are the avarice marketeers

chump'd change chatter ringing our ears.

So 

look here..

one precious timeline at a time..

I'm having a Big Daddy ‘O Moment.. 

a tremendously Great Day

big ups for my family 

and

everyone's ability to gleam..

to see our life converge with presidential type esteem



better said we gotta kingly type dream

it’s all goin on like Flava said.. “Reality is real”

a Greater New Deal..

knowing we represent the best

everything within the two easts and two wests

all that the future can righteously bestow

11th month - day four; it’s when we trickle down The Dubya Effect

gone...that irresponsible need to bleed 

always knowing pay check &amp; payback is always owing

fate keeps a rain check

challenging the buds in the flower bed to keep separate from the weeds

its how it all began ~ its how it all succeeds 

and

it’ll get questioned for ages

splashed across most historical pages 

how it started in stages ~ with its own 

with its own youthful &amp; vigorous momentum

			<description>last night's comfort wasn't comfortable this morning

so i woke up an wrote

took a page from a journal and let it spill



LIFE looked different yesterday

like someone i knew but had never met

she came to me and made me understand that these truths

i've been experiencing are real

and today for the first time i am really in love...

i have unexpectantly fallen in love with...

Me



and in that turn I fell out of love

i have fallen unexpectantly out of love with...

duty

obligation

expectations

limits

chillin ...omar had his own heroes; like rocky the “flying pearl”

all world...rocky was cool. 

but unlike rocky; omar chose to travel solo

no need for an over talkative moose for a side kick

didn’t click; couldn't work the angle on them antlers 

they were suspect and omar was always suspicious...always

paranoia and supremacy...omar was born with it 

this would be explained by the faithful as a pertinent personality trait

get a nut; can’t wait...of course..

am I not a man 

not beast...a person - with an ability to reason

how is it that you think 

that you must challenge or remain opposed to my rights

my rights to live...my needing to love

to live true to my love and have my life in peace

my peace in peace

this without your wrong belief 

bundled - stacked up 

against me 



you are made of lust - not from love



you who rub against me - the wrong way 

time 

after time 

looking to cage your own fear

I was ready in Chi where the weather there demands this 

I was ready in Hawaii I was ready in the street 

I was ready for the mission I was ready to compete 

I was ready for Hillary I was ready for Bad Bill

I was ready for the world.. Got ready for Michelle

I was ready when I was smokin - [Just Jokin]
