Hear

the sound from moving air

guitar

love star

slow chord melody a sting

and the light

the sound of brokencontinuation

-Lahmadaj

look

far into the sky
see the lines of earth
breathe the touch of flesh
run into mind
leap easy across vast mountains
dripping gems of clarity
a dew upon the leaf

-Lahmadaj

how much

time must be dedicated in one's life
to the dismantling of the enormous set of lies
passed down from elders
seen through young interpretation

seems as though the task will not complete

is there no stopping the infinite minutia of error

most definitely there are two ways

follow the no mind of the lifted

or raise the hands and begin to stop the breathing


-Lahmadaj

Hey

many times I wish to have never met you
being stupid, I changed and wanted to give to you unchecked

maybe I'll be gone and you'll disappear
cannot be much longer

-Lahmadaj

winter

when the cold soul shall show its being

and the community separated

when the early light is all one will see

and the night is slow

when my ears are ringing

and turn this lie into symphony

-Lahmadaj

Obama, Bitches!

...

eat your veggies
they'll change you

you will rise

open

seeing the fear in false republicans' eyes

knowing they're lies

throw it over here

the bone

toss it high into the sky

see its twisting spiral descent

wonder of its internal lattice

easy for the eyes yes

looking to the sky

and imagine the reality of freedom

the cage of person

the relief of one

imagining the possible

touches into sweetness

the only one


-Lahmadaj

...

it is easy and will not stop when eyes are closed

will not stop when hands release

will begin each moment


-Lahmadaj

oma

will you go
and wait for us

the turning earth

love the love
finding a golden stone

will we stay to see the rise the fall
continuous water elated

i'll smile thinking of you
in the light of sun and bird song

may my worth be great
and you to dancing

-Lahmadaj

Even

watching others
one's self is lost
at least my self

learned to give it
everyone can be this way
that is not true

easy lives and children houses
makes me jealous
even still

I grow old
my inside is the same
not sure where

eats a lot of creation
tells one to sleep
wish I were gone or free

would like to be more fortified

perhaps in the distance


-Lahmadaj

spoken

to the ear of one
Jupiter high a path to moon
can't believe the shine
light inside warm curved surface
easy to see

one day
hope for
something

near to the excitement
and power below

will look for you


-Lahmadaj

Even in Night

your shine is apparent

didn't realize you were so inspired

handsome eyes framed by geometry

would you lean closer

speaking

jovial in the smoke

i have nothing to say because you mesmerize me with your powerful words

i completely understand

will you and i meet

in the space of no time

perhaps


-Lahmadaj

I laugh

and think to myself

about the times i've accidentally sold my truth for the social ease

i waste my time thinking and imagining the froth of possibilities

look back and see myself the same despite my growing age
wonder when i can share this with another
there was one; no longer
myself again and the earth
like the first day

wonder if I'll change myself into something new
a pattern repeated a pattern

i'm unhinged compared to most americans
still chained to the cycle
vices
loneliness
inadequate resources
finite

I think and laugh to myself
despite all this
the air still feels so good

the light meets my eye
and my skin delivers

-Lahmadaj
