Distance

I Knew I was home
floating in the ocean all alone
eyes closed on my back
in the sunshine all warm
it was a nice journey
but it was time to return
so much about myself
distance taught i learned
expected to be
a certain person
home has known me
for so very long
how to become myself
i wanna sing my own song
so the bird leaves the nest
and spreads his wings
only to hit the ground
and reality sets in
but he dusts himself off
and learns to fly
as he finds out
it only takes time
surrounded by
challenging community
nourished by
whats new to me
i learned life lessons
to help me soar
on the winds of expression
for evermore
i build my nest now
knowing i can trust
my song to call
with an honest touch
shining on old friendships
with a new light
being myself
with all my might

Mama's a mountian

the miracle of life
made a mother
of a wife
you do such a good job
it’s humbling to watch
it’s a tiring journey
but you come out on top
cause mama’s a mountain
mama’s a mountain
the way you play
the things you say
to your daughter
the way you relate
it’s made of magic
a speacial touch
I cant even fathom
you do so much
cause mama’is a mountain
mama’s a mountain
let’s celebrate
and climb to the top
help our family
clamber over the rocks
our journey together
lets share the load
wander down
this winding road
wonder how
to go to and fro
cause mama’s a mountain
mama’s a mountain
yes mama’s a mountain
mama’s a mountain
mama’s a mountain
yes mama’s a mountain

the falling sun bright pink
was here for a wink
just long enough
you might miss it if you blink
but the site beheld
made everyone think
of each other passing by
would be ships in the night
but a verbal exchange
on the colour so bright
brought us that much closer
and made me feel light
so i’ll float on a feeling
and feel all I can
in this quick momment
a flash in the pan
reflecting in the eyes
of all the passer buys
sheding all the masks
and layers of disguise
fly with me
so efortlessly
to a place call home
we can share not alone
where the colours match
the lightness and the tones
embrace the stranger
never feeling alone
look me in the eye
even if you walk on by
maybe we could share the air
or perhaps a happy smile
cause we make a human race
mosaic of a tile
collaborate create
no longer in denile
of oneness that we feel
after such a lonely while
i pass you every day
so lets stop and say
why do we share a street
and not a word today
i’ll admit i’m shy
and a little bit reserved
but it just means that much more
when connection gets served
on a lovely tray
with appy’s to enjoy
let’s devour this momment
and digest the joy!
Sunsets
roses
friendship closeness
strangers
likness
finding light
in darkness

this is non stop
watching bob ross
paint some hot rocks
to make you hop skotch
lovely hip hop

or maybe up rock
until you down rock

but not the pop rock
even walky talk
like bob lawblah
blah blah blah
we come out on top
skotch on the rocks
we chill and toss lots
just jot thoughts
maybe got props
probbaly not
still the onslaught
stay fitted on taught
bon jovi rock lock
aint no sock hop
but maybe dot com
check the hot spot
im never on pot
just an odd sod
i hate to talk lots
huuuuurah!!!!

is that that
makin all that noise
da da da da da da da

Havent got a clue
02:19
|
|||
|
i havent got a clue
but i thought of running through
process of elimination
to hone in on the truth
down to the nitty gritty
no room for bullshit n
shoot n strait as a arrow
on to the strait and narrow
no lying to myself
thats the first step
on to better things
starts with self respect
then this love can spread
like it was meant to do
embracing entirely
every part of you
so sing as we swing
to the beat of what we know
lets bring everything
even what we dont
cause there’s time to learn
move ahead and watch
fires as they burn
fears in our thoughts
i dont know when
i dont know where
i dont know who
i dont know why

A place...
00:58
|
|||
|
a place where the kettle boils
a place I belong
a place where i relax
plug in mics and write songs
a place to make a family
a place to dig dirt
such a small place
on this place called earth
have i found my place
and begun to settle down
a place called home
in this sleepy little town

Pigment
01:25
|
|||
|
the beat is my canvas
so pull out the paints
start makin a mess
and turn up the gain
dont matter the brush
i just need to touch
the surface tonite
and feel the blood rush
to the tips of my fingers
energizing the pen
to write with a fury
blank page is my friend
but fill it up quick
with the message i send
cant keep it bottled up
it’s gotta bubble up
so delete the double spaces
and start to double up
pack it all in
and send it afloat
shape up and ship out
all on the life boat
the vessel gives life
a life giving note
to take make no mistake
even when were soaked
in ink splashes from dashes
of lines of quotes
pigment
texture
surface
lines and measures

fluffin up my fro
gettin ready to flow
seems like my hairs grown
down past my nose
were you this suprised
when you found hell froze
hell no!!!
been growin my locks
since we rocked shell toes
all day i dream about shaving
no not even close
so grow grow grow
still gotta a b boy pose
poser come closer
i’ll tell you a secret
strength in locks
if cut youre defeated
like sampson i guess
so release the stress
and let it all out
just let me adress
thoughts on my mind
rather on my head
with this much hair
i dont need a pillow on my bed
so it’s nap time now
nappy nap time now
lay me down to sleep
i pray the lord
this doo to keep
just what i feel
is just what i speak
from the hairy freak
raised up in black creek
where i learned the importance
of turn the other cheek
maybe turn right around
i think that my mop
could clean up the ground

i puke up my soul
so you could stare at it
better believe
this musics therapy
emotions of tides
waveforms to ride
off into the sunset
clearing my mind
recharging my soul
at the end of the week
when we gather like trees
to speak over beats
spilling our guts
on the deepest of cuts
to infect with infectious
hooks and such
divinity and grace
until it’s too much
we pause and reflect
refresh our dialect
than back at it again
one thing you can bet
we’ve done this for years
and we arent gonna stop
im going grey
but my voice still remains
staking my klame
and building a name
in music we trust
but not for the fame
just a diary entry
each time it’s laid
so much heart
and so much soul
makes me feel
more than just so so
so much life
to live it up
never gonna stop
never giving up

robot robot you let me down
malfunction malfunction
burning on the ground
what’s left is nothing
not even a sound
i’ll leave these embers
and move on
bang a stick on a log
as i write these songs
what made me think
i needed you anyway
i grew up without you
in the woods we’d lay
becoming experts
at imaginitive play
now it’s glazed donut gaze
technological craze
every second every minute
every hour every day
all the time all the time
all the time that’s lost
trying to save time
at such a high cost
our bodies our souls
are melting away
from the creator
and we think we have it made
but our maker
isnt shakin
make no mistake
for what is created
could be as easily
takin away
so count your blessings
and join me and say
robot robot you let me down
malfunction malfuntion
burning on the ground

I inhale wind as i exhale frost
my breath creates winters
with blizzards to get lost
i eclipse the moon
as i pass through time
dance on the space
and voids in your mind
dive into the lava
that flows to the sea
rise out the atmosphere
riding on steam
reverse the water cycle
and watch the clouds
turn back to ice
and fall with no sound
make a new planet
from one grain of sand
embrace the universe
only i understand
make sense out of nothing
because i can.
weave tangents of fragments
of lifeless arrangements
to full fledged interactive
life form engagements
roots become branches
when i plant seeds
water trades the places
with the air that they need
sifting through the soil
with my soul in control
of underground streams
as they drain through gold
mountains take the form of valleys
rearrange topographic
abandon gravity
as simple as snapping an elastic

mr moon you havent moved
since the last I was here
seems they swoon over you
on the last of the year
party dudes on the tube
lose it when you appear
so go to bed now
hide behind a cloud
i cant take the howl
the howling out loud
I want to sleep too…
maybe Im getting old
Ive laid my best cards
it’s time that I fold
my page into a paper crane
to sail away peacefully
like enya was playin
and we all listened
hung on the words
as every note glistened
be good jack
go to sleep now
sleep under sheep
that hop like the clouds
|

hits that get missed
like walking in foggy mist
you cant see me
yet i still exist
why do i do what i do
if i dont reach you
extend my arms anyway
and wish for another day
another time another place
where when my dreams
come face to face
with those i need to reach
they give purpose to the race
1st world problems
attaining goals
complaining so
when things dont go
how their supposed to go
so strive for less than more
and live simp ol
so blessed with peace
and this lands peaceful
spare time to flow
with verbs and nouns
consonants and vowels
maybe if im lucky
some wows from crowds
but i am too quiet
dont like to talk loud
so seldom heard
from this small town
walk around unseen
with my head in the clouds
trippin over obstacles
that litter the ground
and trip me up
as i journey around
hk:
did he know
did he not
maybe so
maybe not
what’s to gain
if you forgot
who was up
up next to talk
I’m movin’ through the grounds, I’m movin’ through the grounds,
I’m grooving to the sound, my head is empty
I’m movin’ through the grounds, I’m movin’ through the grounds,
I’m soothin’ to the sound, my head is empty
I’m gonna go it alone but I know very well that can change
Try to shoot from the hip and the heart but not so much the brain
Everything that happens is the underlying grace
You and me are ultimately the same entity
In University there’s unity in diversity
Perhaps a rehearsal and a dispersal of energies
From the head to the heart and out to the extremities
Hell’s half acre is blessed with an assortment of amenities
To help keep us going, the blood flowing, Samsara Happy Hour
Take no break, make no mistake, dive right in and operate
Therein lies power, unravel the lotus petal flower
My dojo is my domicile every single hour
Each minute of the day a mini-meditation and takeaway
Breakaway not for a hollow day but a grand bouquet
Of blossoming potential it’s essential to be drawn inward
Then outward with a renewed sense of trust
not takin’ a hollow day, not takin’ a hollow day, oh boy
not takin’ a hollow day, not takin’ a hollow day, oh boy

Stick around for you
03:46

I’ll write this down for
make a sound for you
i’ll stick around for you
my love abounds for you
stop for a momment
for a happy sigh
like the brightest light
burning the back of my eyes
still i stare in awe
and I drop my jaw
trying to touch
the feeling together
we linger for ever
embracing the notes
on your melody I float
you fill me like a bath
and i just wanna soak
light a couple candles
stare in your eyes and take notes
infinite writings
on my love quotes
so many poems
my muse has evoked
our love is a mighty castle
with a deep water moat
built over the years
this rope of many strands
stands not to be broke

klame Courtenay, British Columbia
Banging around and around. Loops quiet and loud sounds. Bedroom noise blinking lights electronic toys. Sometimes rap sometimes sing sometimes subtle words silenced to make way for just hymns.
