This journey through my own soul
Come lika black hole
When I think I reach an end it only bends
Again n again
Through perceptional intent or non intentional
Con n unconventional
Whiling n spiralling
Still I’m confiding in
This being that is me
My purpose n responsibility
Simply
Be the best me I can be
Let ma vibration ripple out reflectively
Respectively
Affect n infect all of me
Fuel injecting
Curb n correcting
Pe pe per perfecting the essence of this present
By remaining present
Accepting this gift
Naturally
Spiritually uplift
Every crevice & rift
Shine on boy
This world’s your toy
Bring the happiness n endorse the joy
And though negative people annoy
Smile anyway
It’s their game too let them play
And bend yor perception a different way
I say I say
Have a nice day

I am taking this opportunity to promote among us some unity for that we can be the best we can be, I mean all wanna smile with that joy happy glee you see we are alive, therefore then let us thrive on this gift we've been given called life
Happy Friday

My face is a map
That traces, so accurately
The journey
Of my life
Like old roads
Carved out of hope
Trying to lead somewhere
Now tired and worn
Always remaining
Beyond repair
Fading into the past
Before the journey
Had barely travelled
Lightly trodden paths
Often fondly remembered
For that one single moment
When they crossed
Each other’s destiny
They left such little trace
But measured together
Provide so many memories
Of long lost desires

The ravines of past loves
So very deep
Etched from sadness
As ever growing rifts
Drifting further apart
Wrenched from pain
And scarred with sorrow
With impassable rivers
Born of tears
That had bled
From eyes
That had seen
Futility

But hope
Is an emotion
Where desires
Can see further
Than futility
For this map
Has one last space
To be fulfilled
And complete
The journey of life
And when that final river
Crosses my face
And flows
Into nothingness
All I will ever know
Is it will never
Be as deep
As yours

I am crab
I live by the sea
The sand and salt
Are the essence of me
The tide and the moon
Control my mood
I am sharp witted
I don’t mean to be rude
With beady eyes
And my hard shell
I see everything
And I am stubborn as well
I scuttle around
From side to side
My direction unknown
An interesting ride
I devour anything
Lying around
A true scavenger
To be found
If the sea is heavy
I can do it tough
Seek out areas
Not so rough
If you take me away
From waters edge
I’ll cook in my shell
With thoughts that sledge
So next time your down
The ocean way
And you spot a crab
On a good day
Stop and think
About this write
An amuse yourself
About my plight .....

Laugh
Laughing that freakin azz off
Laughing it like art of Rembrandt n Van Gough
Laugh even harder when they telling you to stop
Ya may not get it now but oh my gosh when the penny drops
Them 1nes
Try hold it in maybe cover ya mout
Face twitching n itching to let it out
Eye filling with water, trying not to scream or shout
Maybe the environment is giving ya some doubt
Then all of a sudden you forget who is about
The joke too sweet
Forced to skin teet n finally let it out
Feel this energy
Churning in ya belly
Lika burning in ya belly
Signals to the brain saying this shizz is funny
So then laugh a little more
And though your humour might be twist
And though many are butt hurt n pissed
Feeling positively dissed
Laugh at that shizz too
Laugh at the news
Laugh at the blues
Laugh because it’s a choice that you choose
Laugh at what they say n what they do
Forget the what when or why
The more you laugh the more you’ll realise
Everything is funny
Me I be like Bugs Bunny
What’s up Doc?
To me it’s very evident
Lika present
Laughter a gift n indeed the bestest medicine
Literally
Creating chemicals that stream through the system
They fight to deactivate negativities influence
Very important to laugh at yourself
Though always laugh at everybody else
The laughter renews the health
Some call it blasé
Some will never understand it when I say
Joy really is the most powerful key
Even more powerful than Love n I’ll prove it you’ll see
Without joy there can be no Love
Without smiles n laughter there can be no joy
Now I hope you’re getting my point
Wait a minute let me light this joint
Puff Puff Pass
Get some sensimelia in your azz
Haahaaahaaaa
Laugh man
Laugh woman
Why?
Because life is really a joke
We’ve been tricked into believing do n don’t
Politically incorrect
And every word n action is disrespect
Lighten up
Take a pew
If you can’t then I will laugh at you
Your blue shoes
Your hair do
Your tiny or your giant boobs
If you’re a guy ya may have moobs
My best friend name is YouTube
While they stay serious n focused on problems
I’m in the lab getting ma joy on to solve them
Cos happiness manifests the very best of the blessed
Burning away dark clouds n disintegrating stress
Looking in the mirror when ya feel like a hot mess
And remember life’s for living n everything is just a test
Laugh yes
Laugh hard til that vibration in ya chest
Sings nothing but blessed
I’ve proved it before
Laughter is the key & cure
To open up your mind n hearts spiritual door
A greater tighter connection to your
Higher self
Increase of health
And don’t start about the wealth
What is money really? Just paper
When you’re in your highest joy you become a money maker
Everything manifests naturally
Effortlessly
Spiritually
Because you are at the best you can be
I said it already
Smile leads to laughter
Laughter leads to joy
Joy leads to Love
Such a powerful tool of which we know so little of
Be my guest I’ll be your clown for the day
Laugh at my skinny a** you don’t even have to pay
Lika game come let’s play
This power of joy can n will brighten any day
Let the laughter continue

In the middle of a meadow
Where grass & flowers freely grow
Where I catch my glow
Adorned in this long flowing dress that flows
Dances with the breeze
Collecting energies with these friends of me
Birds & bees
Collectively coming together like a congress
In tuned to this tune n the flow of this dress
As it circulates
Manipulates
Agitates like marinates
This energy
You see
See how it flows so free
Without effort or care
The only care is to share
This care
The fare
The price
To have this nice life
Before you speak always think twice
Try to be nice
When the dice
Rolls
And the cards unfold
Your truth is told n so I own it
Loving every breath of it
The blessed and the shit
Gimme gimme gimme
Live n direct I write my story
Hallelujah
To you from me
This dress
Collecting colours as she flows
Showering rainbows as she goes
Mmmmmmmmmm

Shadows making crossings lines
Angles changing all the time
Some grow large and some grow small
And a few who don’t grow at all

Strangely gurgle in cadence precise
Flows a spring running beneath the ice
In places becoming thin and frail
Winding down the hillside it will scale

The ever blowing winter breeze
Softly muffled by evergreen trees
Tracks in the snow where rabbits abide
Under stacks of fallen branches hide

The large black rock so oddly steaming
In the midmorn sunlight streaming
The beauty found in winter meadows
Where the chickadees always pose

Those soft steps taken through fallen snow
Looking back is all that shows
A journey like so many taken before
Up the winding path to my front door

God has a new Angel in Heaven today
Leaving his poetry friends astray
Lost without our Castle leader Café
The knights are sad and the maidens afraid

Café Jim brightened all our days with fun
He also strengthened our Spirits with love
He never judged but treated everyone equally
Giving his friendship and his love freely

Greatly missed in this corner of the world
You were one of God’s rare black pearls
Heaven has gained a wonderful Knight
The Castles up there will surely come alive

To all our loved ones in Heaven watch out above
Café Jim is there now – surround him with love
If you wonder how you might find him up there
Look for an Angel with a Halo slightly bent over his ear

Love - Godprincess and all your friends at CS Poetry Corner

flailing wire
bars ripped from the ether
sinew wrapped
around the neck
fingered fury
bringing forth a
sonorous salute
suckin' in the air
here I come again now baby
like a dog on heat

so many thoughts that need be denied, stemmed regrets, accountability loss of pride. . . . why's it all tucked away, was it a time, a place an experience I faced, hardened heart, razor sharp tongue, faced hand out at arms length, bringing one's inner thoughts to protect with scorned strength. . . .
