All the flowers
Of all the tomorrows
Are in the seeds of today
...
The inner strangeness has cought up with me
It's come out from the inside of me, on purpose
Cause it aspires to reshape me again from the outside
But at the same time conspires to watch me and nothing collide
...
I felt the tip of the felt tip
Pen
I feel needs at the same time that I feel an inability
To bring those needs into the picture
...
I balanced on a horse named symmetry
But I didn't know
That he was epileptic
And so goes
...
I'm floating
Down the river
Wondering
What the river's made up of
...
I'm a butterfly in traffic
A touch of grace
Amidst the haste
...
This is a simple rhyme
This word
Then the next
It's simple poem time
...
I'm feeling pensive
Extensive time is spent
Bent, at the angle of a swan's neck
...
Fire choices
Big choices to be made
Fire and ice
Sun rays
...
Maybe I should say something
Maybe I should speak out
Maybe I should reach down my mouth
...
I adore you
She said that to me
And triggered something inside
...
The resurgence is as urgent and as urgently needed as breathing itself
This is long overdue and somehow right on cue
Something's happening, this is something to do
Something different, something new
...
Growing into you
It's just what... you're suppossed to do
Growin up
...
It's one of those mornings
When the sky is clear
And the birds are out
And we're out too

All the flowers
Of all the tomorrows
Are in the seeds of today
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Me
And that's all I ever want to be
All I wanna do is plant some seeds
I'm the transformer
Transforming inspiration
Into little pieces of poetry
Nobody even noticed me
Transforming
A brainstorm
Into the form of a piece
I was forced to release
My thoughts to a piece
Of paper
My modus operandus
Is totally outlandish
When it comes to the business of passion
My passion is business
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Me
And that's all I ever want to be
All I wanna do is plant some seeds
Should I shake myself loose
From the habits that inhabit my head?
Should I do something else instead?
Should I have fought?
Should I have fled?
Should I lie in bed or rise from bed?
Or fly instead?
Or search inside my head
For something else that rhymes with head?
Inside of a silent mind
Where I cried and shed
Implied tears
From five years
Recognizing my biggest fear
The biggest thing I dread
No rhyming words left
Sounds absurd? - Yes
It's better to kiss a miss
Than to miss a kiss
My skeleton is a coat rack for my flesh
Why do people have pets?
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Me
And that's all I ever want to be
All I wanna do is plant some seeds
Nerve damage
Makes a person out of touch
With their sense of touch
My insomniac soul sleeps in the soles of my feet
And makes me sleepwalk to a beat
Where you gonna go?
Go with the flow
Flow with the go
Just go wherever the wind blows
Everything is inspiration
EVERYTHING
I'm running with untied shoes
Through an open field
Inside of an open mind
Hoping to find
Closure
Losing my mind
But finding composure
It's that old day after day repetition
Like I sold my soul to this condition
But absolutely no way I can hold this in
And so I broke tradition
And coasted toward a vision
I envisioned years ago
My experience showed
I wrote while I rode
And I broke the whole mold
Good things started to unfold
Good thing I found some good people
That's why I founded Good Peoples
Nobody in the world thinks like me
I drink white tea
I wear white tees
I don't do thai che
But I drink chai tea
I'm just tryin' to get my piece of the P.I.E.
All before the day that I D.I.E.
I'll split a word open just to see what it's made of
I'm the wicked synonym the antonyms are afraid of
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Anyone who wants to be
Who's a poet?
Me
And that's all I ever want to be
All I wanna do is plant some seeds
