A Freestyle Piece: Game Change - 2/28/10 (from 2/24/10)

"And so, I've turned 19...yet things are not as they might seem...older in age, yet younger at heart...my soul and mind are so far apart...grown man thoughts and childish smiles...all a bday does is change numbers on files...celebrate not my birth, but my progression...here to teach lessons, every piece is a session...wisdom bestowed becomes wisdom imparted...knowledge spreads, there is no way to retard it."

A Brief Philosophy: The Duality of the Mind - 2/28/10 (from 2/23/10)

"The mind can be a vessel of freedom, or an apparatus of confinement. Thoughts can ladders to greatness or fetters of mediocrity, notions can be doors to enlightenment or condemnations of ignorance. Input can fuel the passion to do, or fuel the fire of self-hate; output can be fuel for others, or a dark shroud. The beauty of such duality is the element of choice; but first, you must choose to believe you have one."

A Freestyle Piece: Love, In Our Fashion - 2/28/10 (from 2/19/10)

"...I just can't let you go...there's just too much love and I have yet to let you know...my feelings for you run so deep, to tell them I'd need a lifetime...when times get hard and I've played my last card, your love is my lifeline...our love fits like a pair of jeans...and so it seems that I can't sew these seams; your love is the thread, but the spool will run dead if you don't know these things..."

A Freestyle Piece: Mmm Mmm Mmm! - 2/28/10 (from 2/19/10)

"Be it lip to lip or hip to hip, our intimacy is a trip...one that I welcome. It allows me to fall into your love with reckless abandon, flailing while failing to keep any balance...the only harness that keeps me from falling too deep is the strength you keep...that reassuring embrace, those lips on my face, hands all over the place...it's as if you keep love in a box that reads 'just in case'..."

A Freestyle Piece: Try As We Might - 2/28/10 (from 2/19/10)

"We reached out, but could never make the connection...it felt as though our hearts had been met with dissection...but it was a demise that we crafted...out minds were too flawed to be intertwined and we couldn't get past it...I backpedaled as she ran, the synchronized speeds maintained the span...never in our might could we get it right, as peace (of mind) was the only way to win the fight..."

-A. Lewis

A Freestyle Piece: A King Is Crowned - 2/28/10 (from 2/19/10)

"...and as we embraced, fears were replaced...doubts and pouts ran out as smiles and affection converged on my soul with the utmost perfection...no words could form though my heart was effulgent with prose; begging to describe the feeling of love's healing...never could I feel down or alone because, you give me the crown of your own love..."

-A. Lewis

A Freestyle Piece: Never Reach - 2/28/10 (from 2/17/10)

"Love knows no alteration. You cannot change it, nor put it on a timetable. So for the women that rush, they run past it; for the men that backpedal, they never reach it. This leaves the two in a place where failure is imminent, and pain is likely. The land of mismanaged feelings is plagued by misunderstanding...the singular force that drives attraction asunder."

-A. Lewis
