A Brief Philosophy: Burning Bridges - 10/13/11

"It is both amazing and ironic that in doing all we can to avoid taking ownership of a mistake or issue of ours, we leave ourselves with no other choice. When we attempt to pass it off on others, they will either disappear, leaving no one to blame, or throw it back at us. When we ignore it, it either becomes to large to deflect or morphs into another issue that we must deal with. Most interestingly, when we burn bridges, we create an island that alienates us from those who request we take responsibility; it is an island surrounded on all sides by the same issue that brought it about."

A Freestyle Piece: Fireflies - 10/13/11

"It's not impossible, just improbable. And against all odds, I'll make you believe it was meant to be, that you were meant for me. The world is experiencing a period of darkness...graft is rampant, ignorance is blissfully present, and the only prophets are the traders predicting the future to make profits. However, every ray of sunshine is an opportunity. We photosynthesize light as hope, and our fires burn brightly enough to give people solace. They see our passion and realize there is still love; they see our compassion and realize there is still humanity; they see us and KNOW that light being forged in darkness isn't a passing fantasy. Two fireflies in the night..."

A Freestyle Piece: Intercourse - 10/13/11

"Let me touch the bottom of your conscious...stretch the walls of your understanding. Your creative juices need stimulation, and mental penetration holds the key. Unlocking your spirit is a priority. Progress is made when you take more of me. It's not that my intelligence stretches farther than another man's, or that my heart has more breadth; it's about appreciating what spots they hit while cherishing the ones you have left. Gaping holes in your trust were left by men that raped your mind in lust...but this love making will take you past them, shifting your paradigm with a philosophical orgasm..."

A Freestyle Piece: The Winter Flow - 10/13/11

"Winter clothes, winter clothes...time to spit those winter flows, those 'let me take you out to dinner' flows. It's known as 'cuffing season,' better known as 'bluffing season,' where since it's cold, countless lies are told to have someone to hold, so it's more like 'convenient loving' season. How about 'this will amount to nothing' season? The reasons for togetherness only weather this period of frigidity; rigidity gives way when new blooms offer new room for options..."

A Freestyle Piece: Just Another One About the Women I've Chased - 10/13/11

"If it was all simple, would it be worth it to you? If it was all mental, would it be worthless to you? The complications you're used to were expectations unmet; only your body matters if he's after sex. Those assholes you dated? They never planned to change. You swear each one's different, but you're still the same. Don't play the victim, the scars are yours to bear. Don't deny your pain, yet try to share. Learn from the past, learn what you're worth. Learn that love is done to self first..."

A Freestyle Piece: Women and Questions - 10/13/11

"Nature versus nurture? Only nature could nurture such a being. God versus evolution? Each has a beauty that is hand-crafted before they get here, while their spirits evolve as their bodies do. Democrat or Republican? Be Democratic with money, accommodate her at near any cost; be Republican with her heart, defend it at any cost. Paper or Plastic? Surprise her with paper bags of merchandise and plastic bags of her favorite food. An exceptional woman settles life's toughest questions."

A Freestyle Piece: To Bridge the Distance - 10/13/11

"Don't know anyone getting married, but my calendar's full of engagements. The road of success is arduous, it often feels like I'm chasing pavements. But, I keep my eyes on the destination--scenes slide by as I near the point of power; presentation. I won't stop there, I don't need reverence. My eloquence is irrelevant; focus on my message, it's heavensent. My inspiration comes from existence; writing at life's insistence. The heart and mind often stand apart; I write to bridge the distance..."
