Posted: 3/4/2008 10:28:38 PM | Strength, Courage & Wisdom lyrics
India Arie
Inside my head there lives a dream that I want to see in the sun
Behind my eyes there lives a me that I've been hiding for much too long
‘Cause I've been, too afraid to let it show
‘Cause I'm scared of the judgment that may follow
Always putting off my living for tomorrow
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my faith
It's been illusive for so long, but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith, It's time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Behind my pride there lives a me, that knows humility
Inside my voice there is a soul, and in my soul there is a voice
But I've been, too afraid to make a choice
‘Cause I'm scared of the things that I might be missing
Running too fast to stop and listen
It's time to step out on faith, I've gotta show my faith
It's been illusive for so long but freedom is mine today
I've gotta step out on faith it's time to show my faith
Procrastination had me down but look what I have found, I found
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
And it's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Bridge
I close my eyes and I think of all the things that I want to see
‘Cause I know, now that I've opened up my heart I know that
Anything I want can be, so let it be, so let it be….
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
It's been inside of me all along,
Strength, courage, wisdom
It's been inside of me all along, everyday I'm praying for…
Chorus
Strength, courage, and wisdom
To find me, yeah,
Strength, courage, and wisdom
Inside of me
Vamp
I found it in me, I found it finally
I'm sure to keep it' cause I like it, I say thank you

One can look down and
think touching bottom is easy
the depth deceiving
until you dive down
and learn that the deep
is deeper
In the Ocean
Eyes can see only so far
scent does not exist
the body weightless
and touch becomes
like sight a textural
Éclat of truth | |

Posted: 3/6/2008 8:49:32 AM | Had an epiphany
In the shower tonight
Thought about all that talk
About almost perfect
Or perfect enough
That it would be
Enough to satisfy
Well frankly I lied
And thought
Who am I
Trying to convince
Myself?
What crap I realize
It just doesn’t hold
Not really
Not quite
Then
I had another epiphany
Cause I realized
That it wasn’t a lie
No, not at the time
It really was my truth
And I really did try
Tried to compromise
But to want it all
Is Me
And with you it must flow
Happen as it’s meant to
I need it to be easy
I want to like all of you
And I want you to like all of me
The fit must really be
The perfect
Epiphany | |

Posted: 3/14/2008 8:10:16 AM | Read my lines
They are clear
Explicit
Descriptive
Just read them
Take the time
and you may find
that what I speak
may be what you seek
who you are…
what we need…
However
one-liners don’t
provide the answers
nor light banter
and chitter chat
I am tired of that
My profile states
Long Term
Not friends
Not talk/email
Not sex chat
Not lingerie shots
I am burnt out
on that stuff
be aware of that
Even my friends
are deeper than chat
so bear that in mind
before you drop me a line
please take the time
To read my lines | |

Posted: 3/17/2008 12:53:09 PM | Distorted, pained, beautiful ancient twists
sinking lower, deeper into dirt.
The foothold of earth,
she burrows roots in angst, in wisdom.
Survival. Water seeking…Water.
Always. Her thirst.
Her nourishment.
She flows, blows. Pollinates the young.
They seek to spread rather than to dig deep.
“Still learning”, she thinks. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 7:49:16 AM | A verdant French Polynesian gateway
beckoned to us achingly. Hearts pounding.
We gazed upon release from our sea-locked state.
Looking to the opening.
Harbor arms outreached.
Splendid green awakening.
And our toes, how they sighed,
feeling solidity of land.
For that feeling was express longing replete.
Blessed sand and grit. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 9:41:27 AM | something transitional i used to call it a fire in every hole ..but so many didnt know i meant the eyes and ears... or did I ..it has been a while
a first hello is closer than a last goodbye
Small breezes dart their way across
your skin and torment trembles,
as you were only thinking of the time.
When touch would more than mask the loss
of the joy it first resembles.
Hiding history, a treason
for both victims of the crime.
the innocence of novelty,
a fraud of ill delusion
like dogs and cars we chase the new
and drown in our confusion
A shiver moves you up and out
distraction from the hour.
While wars are won and lost from within
Passion flees from fear and doubt
no prior pain, its power.
The more that we create
the more we win | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 12:30:36 PM | like dogs and cars we chase the new
and drown in our confusion
Such a great image that evokes. We've all seen it and been there! Spinnin' our wheels and chasin' our tails...
While wars are won and lost from within
Passion flees from fear and doubt
no prior pain, its power.
That could not be any truer. I love everything you place here. Thank You Trancend. | |

Posted: 3/18/2008 7:12:40 PM |  Hiya my friend! Nice stuff!
Blue light fades into my shining
Mind is elusive, so is finding
what it is I am searching
Forever blue glowing candle
One in my heart
Lost in his playground
Some search for those
never found
Some people amaze
Some people want it all
I really never did
Some just want what they
Ain't got!
Wonder why they didn't
get it!

Posted: 3/19/2008 6:29:56 AM | half-step slow
playing with the way we work around the other side
of seeing as we go instead of looking backwards and wondering
what the f*ck , that wasn't me with my hands full of your stuff
but it might have been if you had looked last week.
nothing is ever missing out on being right in front of you
sometimes your front moves
sometimes it should and doesn't
no one has the answer to your question
stop asking me or i will have to confuse you all over again
something about the way you look out on the world
keeps me from shooting you , but that was last week
and you are all out of stuff... | |

Posted: 3/21/2008 2:48:27 PM | Just for a Moment
I saw you today
I glimpsed the real you
The self you hide away
The heart you keep from view
I saw you today
Thrice before I’ve seen your soul
Have chanced to see the way
You really are, true and whole
I saw you today
A glance amid the clouds
The self you won’t portray
Hidden beneath misty shrouds
I saw you today
I saw your heart in truth pure
Not the you, just for display
Just for a moment I was sure
I saw you today
In that place where you dwell
A bright light amid the grey
Before you retreated into your shell
I saw you today
But then you were gone again
Even as I willed you to stay
Vanished in the mists of rain
I saw you today
But then as quick you withdrew
Your emotions not to betray
The high wall was built anew | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 12:02:34 PM | Brain feathers
pluck at my consciousness
tickle me with thoughts
and my solidity escapes
it just flies in the breeze
and the definitions refuse
to stop in the leaves
of the trees as they go on by me
at such soft, gentle speed
So many times have
those feathers been tossed
high up into the sky
On the breezes borne off
to come lingering, floating down
whispering silk spun and soft
coming down to the ground
the reflections of life
insignificantly huge
in such little moments | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 1:06:33 PM | Nine
It’s a number that haunts
nine years apart and
that ninth month that
almost destroyed
ninth place at nine years
on the ninth day
why cant it be ten
or five or seven?
That might be easier then
and wouldn’t feel so much like nine
the number seems so large
sometimes but not quite
enough at other times
and even though its just a number
I count it, ticking off my fingertips
One…two..three…But then
What does that mean?
Nothing really I guess
but it's still nine
and still a number
that haunts me | |

Posted: 3/28/2008 1:41:41 PM | Loved you for years and when I finally saw you
I realized that it was not truth spoken
Ardent illustrations of fantasy. Not real to the real me
Even though I tried and tried again to see
But tied up in anger and bitter loss it was too hard to release
And moving on was blessing you, and blessing me
that painful ache gone and I know how even my loving you
was flawed. Not for loving you, but for loving the promise of you | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 12:59:24 PM | timeless spaceless places
The bending forward movement
The flexion of graces
Forgiving in their bent
So divinely spent
That carve out the dark
And let tiny little dots
Spot the night
The night’s eye upon us
In quiet darkness
Orion’s belt splits the sky
we see more than just the moment
The expansiveness of time
Infinite in its outline
As the shuffle of torrid
Dreams cast, pass on by | |

Posted: 4/3/2008 2:51:22 PM | Not new but it came to mind when i read your latest..
Simple
senses mirror messages, shells of every sound, going judged by distance up or down
images from irritants flow into the sea,while the filters from our fantasies define me
training for the marathon of making it all real, we run from trading time to a final deal
chaos sends an answer , a roar of sound and light, we blink between believing its alright
framing of the fiction to a shaping of the load, will progress plod or epiphany explode
complexity consuming all til oversight is over, melts the mission down ..to find a lover | |

Posted: 4/4/2008 1:05:01 PM | I am a smoky haze
of lavender blue
stretching vastly
over your still quiet moment
that captures your breath
and gives seeming ease
I am the spill
the flow of dark reds
that beckons and swirls
fluidity rises the depth
exposing tumultuous tides
crimson, deep and passionate
I am the cave
of dark purple secrets
stalactites sharp slicing downwards
to your construed eschews
skewing your burnt umbers
in timeless review of all that you do
I am the color play
your wheel of life
the sweet beauty and strife
of your oranges and golds
the shades of all that you are
and I will continue to turn in color full blown | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 1:01:48 PM | Clarify...elaborate
Illustrate
don’t take the roundabout way
or detour with hints and subtleties
No…give it raw and real
Give it as it IS
And not as you WANT it to be
Give it to the point and straight
Please clarify...elaborate
demystify
Because mystery
Is boring
Besides...if it is mystery
I seek
I’ll real a good novel
Where the story
is complete | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 1:22:00 PM | Face first to the sky
Breasts forward and beating heart exposed
Blue asunder in my veins
Blasts away the veinous flow
Thick and slow molasses heat
Intoxifying hell of sensation
Renders me to heaven’s ascension | |

Posted: 4/8/2008 4:09:29 PM | the foghorns bleat at night
lost sheep they call distant and longing
soft poignant echoing the oceansphere
rocking upon the secrets sunken there
Seeking the shepherd
To herd them home again
salt battered and shorn
they wander liquid wastelands
to feed on the pretty little wetlands
of macro intense delights
that flow into the liquid earth
oozing into salted blueness
as they bleat into the night | |
