Grief makes you want to blend in with darkness in mindless fixation
Even welcome the evacuation
of feeling
'cause that too is sensation
Thoughts and images reeling
Stewing in a cauldron of frustration
This ...
...This ...
This...
Just ain't right.
This ain't just, right?
The universe got it wrong this time
Universe - all just is
this quiz
WHY???
WHY???
That eternal query
Whose answer stays buried
Germinating confusion
In flashes of illusion
Nay but it is...
Real conclusion.
We lose some
We had some
Wasn't yours, um
Give it back
Time is up.
Done.
End of track.
Run
Run those tears that trapped in
Those fears
Run those tracks that trace
All the years
That are no more.
Those tears that bore
Through ducts of memories
Holed up in store
Eroding the core of gladness
Fueling flames of madness
This grief
I have
Just ..
Let me blend in with this darkness .. .

Untitled...Ever humble Erect on my square Keeping perspective Always aware Time on a tear Drag racing Dragging along Light pacing Centrifugal stillness Stuck in the realness And shock of it all Orbit of this ball The gravity Thegravity It's grabbin me So glad to be Grounded by faint calls of trajectory There's a plan but there's no directory Horizon the point at the edge of the fall The vastness and range Still kinda strange It's what's so humbling Fall back Re arrange... © Haakim Understanding 2017... |

Chasing yellowIt's that third chakra.
That center of your chest that vibrates Makes or breaks your mettle That shyt that won't let you settle Won't allow you to stagnate Solar plexus Fired up kettle Pushes and drives you To work that talent Find that balance Meet that challenge Black coal heart burns but shines with the heat The sun in you The rays of hue Insistent beat Anxious but mellow Color me yellow Bright and warm Flush with energy Brewing storm World on alert Stars are aligned Even losers get lucky sometimes Turning lemons to limes Popping wheelies on the middle line Bricks in the road turned yellow About time Um, about that line The black heart one The balance will come Just keep in mind Some gold rocks start out bla... |
Irony and Karma...Irony and Karma, Sadistic twins of fate All up in your face After all the moves you had to make Just when victory looms POP! Lit cigarette to your balloon... Twin bullies slap boxin at the end of the tunnel Play fightin in the light at the tip of the funnel Waiting for you as you spiral down about to be pummeled Irony dodgin blows But you keep swinging Karma half laughin' Half singing "MERRY GO ROUN' N ROUN'..." Like a demented AL B Sure You tryina even the score Not enough energy in store "I need a second wind" you implore Blood sweat and tears bubble in your core Gittin' back on your feet is a struggle- a chore "I've been on this Street before " your hear yourself murmur Feeling weak and sore On your hands and knees Body bruised, nerves raw Spit out teeth, a chunk of skin from your lip Tryina see but your eyes are slits Call Irony a punk Karma a b*tch They got this round But you know this ain't it They can't make you give up Don't back down Not a bit This is life Ha h... |
busy bull--ittingIn order to be real sometimes you have to be fake To bide your time in the choices you make. Not every opportunity is the best one and you can't let known all the moves you'll make. for sanity's sake stay alert and awake. Complacence and sloth you have to shake stay on point with it Success has no expiration date. now is the time to extract the great inner G within, make your own fate make your own plate... how you wanna eat? you gonna go half assed or make it complete? everything is real so write your history even if you have to put on an air of mystery you know what it is, stop playin ahm just sayin the only excuse you have is the bull--it lies you tell yourself git that --it done while you still have health

Listened to my heart should've punched it in the mouth

MeditationI assess the aural wonder of the piercing traject and subtle stretch and friction of follicular volume crescendoing as the moments float pass and snatch me inward in a wafting fall lighter than gas Not in motion at all Consuming rhythmic thuds of life's breath's percussive insistence to beat on Resonator frequency with no off switch I cee unseen answers to the impossible quest on plains of ash rise and reach For eyes be a witness to bring to flesh and pass the litmus test of mettle to accelerate... ...

Promises breakThat which I give my attention will manifest itself in its own time… There are times when intentions don’t gel with time Times when time permits not When will is slow to meet passion and action fails to suffice Then there are times when too much is too soon and too little too late As destiny wilts at the laughter of fate when the thought is past its due date When the goal and intention is pure and honorable Yet the clock mocks making character vulnerable Time is the essence of make or break of promise in word Rise to that verb that bonds you to the most valuable of virtues Be it swift or steady mind not Stick to the script and don’t stop Til it is shown and proven Concious and guilt of inability is mine enemy We do what we can so don’t ask more of me © Haakim Understanding 2016 |
