It’s so hard
To go forward
He said looking
Slightly to the sky
So hard to build
Easy to destroy
Why do you
Think that is
He asked me
Awaiting an answer
That he knew
I knew
A pause
As birds
Fly across
The sunlit
Skies screaming
Their freedom
Except for dreams
He said before
I could answer
Except for dreams

A tear ruptures the frame
Individual reality screaming
Abstract enlightenment unworded
Expressionless it dwells within
Ripping through all thought
Until there is only
One
To share verbalize explain
To open perspective eye ear mind
End beliefs and believe anew
Mind out of time speaks to the next
Mouth piece of the brain
Salivating theories
That pool into words
Instrument of birth
Spilling life between the margins

Marriage of media to beast
Slave to foreign currencies
That wash ashore on native currents
Indigenous the waters
Extraterrestrial the life
That drinks of its body
“To live,” thus spake the parasite
Heliocentric view that we may see
Blinded by its looks
Literal interpretations
Of ancient fiction
Over wine laid on the backs
Of prostrate children
“To live,” thus spake the parasite
Fire from skies akin
To some ancient fulfillment
Arms racing like two hands
Moving forward to grasp the same things
Greedy to crush that which offends
The beholder’s eye
“To live,” thus spake the parasite

It is a given that time
Moves and is measured
Increments within cerebral boundaries
So in essence / Ancestor of existence
Inner thought can make love to eternity
Conceiving internal immortality
Watching silently as the
Oracle pleasures herself
With her own wisdom
Watching the heart
Measure the pulse
Of limited life
Watching lives
Lengths measured
By thoughts and mind
The consciousness stream for
Ever measured within itself
Said she below the mountain
Imperishable!

Shafts of light melt icy will
Causing a river of emotion
To cascade down a mountain of desire
Reaching for the salty oceans of love
Thoughts evaporate
Into clouds of intelligence
Occupying a sky of acquired knowledge
Raining wisdom
Upon grounds of understanding
Muddying my perception

For I am not scared he said
To the man in black
Fearing the dark rebuttal
Flew the lie upon wings
Of sanity’s dieing light
It hangs in dark skies
Cloudy his thoughts and eyes dark
Misted the rivers
For who dares cross that liquid
Body without tears
Gold coin pressed beneath their tongues
Odyssey’s payment…

I also used this poem, Styx, as part of an intro to a song from an unfinished album, Stark Silence – the song is called River of Tears, you can hear it below:
River of Tears (Intro) by SilencioBarnes
Starks (@starks-official)gave me this short beat…so I used it for the intro…of course, I didn’t know River of Tears would be an intro until today…when I recorded it 😛

Just as you were walking out,
I was walking in.
The catalyst that caused the death
of a dream that could have been.

Remember
He said
Actions are but extensions of thought
And to live is to sin
Existence is bitter
Survival sweet
Reap what you wrought
And weep
Shed tears for what is lost
When you commit
To commit

Tasted but for seconds upon tongues of spite
And spit into the heavens
Acidic, like the words, spoken mouth to mouth
Quoted as those long dead writhe
And grind
Against my brain
Pain
That blossoms behind the eyes and before the fall
The darkness cries, and the tears that rise from
Its shattered guise reflects that night
Or reflects the lie that was told, like light to those
That are blind
To those that mourned when you said goodbye
And I
I turned a dry eye
and laughed

Nigger
I could almost
Taste
The word
Before it grew
From your lips
Like so much
Strange fruit
Made my mouth water
Yea, I’ve tasted
That bitterness before
On Southern plantations
And Northern courts
Well, you know where
You know why
I’m sure you
Already know
The story
Written in blood
Upon this
Nation’s subconscious
You define me
You put me
In a category
Not of my choosing
That word
Leaving your mouth
My prison
My class
My hoody
My hair
My music
My ass
My step and
My bop
My rhythm
My sass
My streets
My knowledge
My saxophone jazz
My rock and
My roll
My pants and
Their sag
My peoples
My hood
My niggas
My fam
So thank you
I said
Thanks for
Putting and
Keeping me in
My place
Right here
Where I belong
Nigger
Black
Fear Me
Like night
Fear Me
Like death
If that’s
What helps
You sleep
I’m all about
Helping out
Masta sah
Time ticks in between the cracks
Of my thoughts each second
Silent like dark, like the corpse
Of a man who had lived and
Had died lived the course
Of a life that he loved
But the love wandered lost
He was dark she was light
And their love traveled forth
Into Heaven into Hell like
A nihilistic force…
She broke the silence with
A withering look
Towards her father’s stern gaze
She leaned close and
Kissed me full on these lips
And I in a daze felt the pot melt away
