Concept:
Spoken word poetry
Over ambient melodies
Something like the 90’s
But way more icy —
“Ode to Summer” is live on SoundCloud & you catch the link of its entirety in my bio.

Though doubt and I dance, all that is ever needed is a silence. Oftentimes it’s a deafening one. So that I may surrender, collapsing into a slow saunter. The gift of interior space morphed into exterior wonder; this, this is where I reside.
Whenever your love can find me
It break through the walls that bind
It’s breaking the walls that bind me —
Oh! And I go out in the world
I made my case to the world
I saw the world
Unto the world
It asked me back again.
Calls me love
Holds me tight.
i love a man that rains.
as a man
he ain’t never been much
for sunny days.
so i found myself
in love with a man
that rains. –
with his city slicker’s sadness
and country singer’s sorrows
loving me on your own accord
up and around your hip hop re-cords.
no matter how much
my affections towards you
may relate
your ways will never
match the colors of my drapes –
maybe that’s why i’m crazy about you
i become a shell of my former self
when our lips stumble over each other
in ecstasy and innocence.
our love was meant to be calm
and quite.
and maybe just as peculiar.
with a loveliness
out stretched
tumbling into your greatness
to find your weakness
and smell your tastiness
inhaling your senses
in all of this senselessness.
i have discovered a World
in your bedroom
and a universe in your bones.
maybe our love is meant to be calm
and quite.
of all the dyes in the world
i look at you
and fall in love with
the many facets
and hues of blue you exude.
