Don't Blame it on the Darkness

I am not afraid of the darkness.
For it is calm and gentle.
The darkness brings forth light.
It is creation.
It is manifestation.
My thoughts were created in the darkness of my mind.
I was created in the darkness of my mothers womb.
Without 9 months of darkness, I couldnt have had 1 second of light.
I am thankful for the darkness.
It is not evil.
The only evil I see, is the evil that we create.
The darkness hasn't done anything to me.
It has allowed me to see with my eyes closed.
With my eyes closed, I can see what I couldnt with them open.
So, dont blame it on the darkness.

Remember Me

The beauty in your eyes captured my attention...
And my heart.
I am now held captive in your memories.
You forgot about me.
Why wont you just let me free?
Just let me be.
Let me live.
What's it gonna give,
To gain back my liberty?
Do I have to surrender to your indecency?
I am lost in this maze,
It's all a haze.
I find myself back at the beginning,
The beginning of our past,
Reliving itself in our future.
Over and over again.
I can't win.
I can't let you go.
I should.
I seen the soul that lies behind your eyes,
And the darkness that dwells in your heart.
I witnessed the evil that tears you apart.
I understand.
I understand that you're a man that's been hurt.
So, you hurt everybody else.
Not giving a damn about anybody but yourself.
You've  been conditioned to be that way.
Somewhere your heart went astray,
Your clouds turned gray.
Your days turned into nights,
Without a moon in the sky.
Just let go...
Rid yourself of all that pain,
So, there would be sunshine instead of rain.
Remember me and set me free.
So, I can no longer be held captive in your memory.

DECODED

When I see you, I see me.
You are my reflection.
I am you, and you are me.
We are one, can’t you see?
In your eyes the moon glows,
Lighting the way to your soul.
I see you just as you are.
Bare and free.
Pure energy.
DECODED.

Who Are You?

Unsettling thoughts
Tearing me apart
Unified with a broken heart
Seeking affection
From those with no connection
To my heart or soul
My mind is paroled
Free, but not free
I wish I can escape effectively
With no one judging me
'Cause I want to be free from this mental slavery
That is possessing me
I'm focused, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty
For a bread that fills me like no other
Slowly I discover and uncover
Whats been hidden from me
Since the beginning of history
Black Kings and Black Queens
Ruling nations Righteously
And not living their lives savagely
Like we've been taught.
We've been sold, raffled, and bought
Becoming someones property
The beginning of slavery
The beginning of iniquity
The changing of Humanity
We live in a country that says it was founded on liberty
But, truth is, it was founded on slavery!
My ancestors blood, sweat and, tears!
For hundred of years, it was Massa that we feared
And we still do.
In the words of Malcom X "Who are you?"

I AM Love

I AM Love
The very essence of it.
I breathe it.
I live it.
I speak it.

I AM Love
Unconditional.
Fearless.
Powerful.
Magnificent.

I AM Love
Warm to the touch.
Easy on the soul.
Pleasant to the ears.
Gentle on the eyes.

I AM Love
Divine.
Kind.
Infinite.
Refined.

I AM Love
Pure as water.
Light as air.
Bold as fire.
Giving as the Earth.

I AM Love.
