I was once a book of empty pages
but ink got spilled on me
then the scrolls and works of prose
and poetry...awoke alive in blooded ink
and soliloquy 
and I could live among the lilies
in a human state...
throwing off my sealskin cape
my story quite contrary to the crawl
of an evolutionary
in the bosom of the ocean
a droplet in the sea
solar flares to light the darkness
in all the galaxy
see me far afield...
on the horizon...and I look back
to see you spying
got your fingers on my parchment
but that ink's been drip drying
and when the pages rip the binding
the books' secrets look to lay...
in the bosom of the ocean
a droplet in the sea
a comet in the darkness
a sliver of a solar ray
yea I could live among the lilies
keep on my sealskin cape
for my book ink cannot dry
in a human state
O yea
in the bosom of the ocean
a droplet in the sea
the ancestor of
the evolutionary

Shake The Sleep

When I was younger
I learned to contemplate...
move in silence til I situate
and I've captured temperance
to help me demonstrate my skills
yea
I got trampled in the ring til I learned to ride
that thing...and now in my battles
and in my peace
I've learned to balance my inner beast
yea
and she's my war pony
a promise to keep me from getting lonely
and low...yea O
I was mishandled and done in
like a set of shackles closing on my skin
so I went low to collect myself
stayed down as I learned my tells
so now there's no cracks in my walls
no fools roamin in my halls
and I got trampled in the ring til I learned to ride
that thing...and now in my battles
and in my peace
I've learned to balance my inner beast
yea
and she's my war pony
a promise to keep me from getting lonely
yea...gettin lonely

A Promise

Man down in the river
fightin like a dog...
but all that pluck went to hell
when he got kicked by the river god
and now he's just rolling in the current
gettin pulled beneath the surface
cold and ugly waters on the rise
and there's no way of telling
if he lives or dies
yea
and in the water the waves crash and 
drown...the dying man's cries
O man down in the river
fightin like a dog
and should the waters be his grave
he'll take it with the river god
yea...he don't need wings in the water
and a halo shines too bright
so the river god just walks the surface
cause he's the river
and he's the fight
and now he's just rolling in the current
gettin pulled beneath the surface
cold and ugly waters on the rise
and there's no way of telling
if he lives or dies

River God

I've been feelin like a hoarder
cause my mind's been outta order
and there's so much pressure on me
I truly...wish I could get off
but the kids are lookin to me
and the press wants opportunities
hoping I will fall...'fore I get off
and Sherlock's in my foyer...shootin up with
my ex-lawyer
while Watson twists my arm until I cough
yea...tell me, how do I get off
O proud boys in their cruisers
flashin lights cause they're all losers
trynna look tough when they're all soft
wish you'd stifle that last 'heil'
and finally learn what it means to be a boss
yea cause
I've been feelin like a hoarder
cause my mind's been outta order
and there's so much pressure on me
I truly...wish I could get off

To Be A Boss

OOOO it was late in the evening
...creepin past ten
and all the babies fed and cleaned...yea
leaving me all alone
cause they're tucked in their beds
and I find myself dancing like I'm floating
like a honey bee...yea
and I can see yea ye
all different patterns in motion
swirls and curls like tendrils of time
and I could get lost in the spaces
between the days..
cause I'm swinging on a honey vine
just above the waves
and I can see yea ye
all different patterns in motion
swirls and curls like tendrils of time

Like Tendrils Of Time

I don't bother fixing holes when the spotlight's on
and there's only a few souls hanging round
when it's done and gone
and I don't guess I'll be remembered
for the assist today...and that's ok
cause I'm here on purpose
not for the accolades but if it's anger and razorblades - gonna be the sway
I just gotta ask U...are U ok?
yea
cause I know the kind of pressure
you've been facing...I can see it in the 
corners of ur eyes
and everytime U smile...there's another part 
of U that drifts away and dies
and I'm trying to be patient
look away when I need to cry
cause damn you've gone the distance
and now ur just drifting away
on a dead tide...yea and
 I don't bother fixing holes when the spotlight's on
and there's only a few souls hanging round
when it's done and gone

Dead Tide

I wanna be ur synchronicity...say the words
ur meant to hear, be the ears...waiting thru
ur fear...
cause in the rooms I most adore...I find U
more and more
and my soul keeps the doorway open
waitin on the many chosen
to step up yea...baby
to step thru that door un huh yea
and in ur timeless wisdom
ur like a horse charging on it's pistons
stampedes and the rising distance
choking on the dust and storm
yea...hang out with me and
folks soon can see
every lil synchronicity...

ur meant to hear, be the ears...waiting thru
ur fear...

Could I be a Jupiter
ascending as a fool...
free to be...and as effortlessly as the shades
that kept me cool
hmmmmm
and would I be accompanied by the 
dogman of the galaxies built to guard my soul...scarred and worn from that toll
and ye...when we set about to walk the lands, him churlish and me grande
could I love and be loved
be privileged to take a hand
my spirit now so bold, yea
could I be that Jupiter
walk and fly with ease...a truth living as its
told...yea, could I be a Jupiter
ascending as a fool
to tip the reign of misery
and convey a simple truth
yea could I be that Jupiter
walk and fly to the galaxies...yea
and no chain shall hold me down
yea babe
once I place the crown...yea

A Truth

🤟🏼Working on new patterns and techniques in composition, production, and performance of both instrumental(classical/acoustic guitar) and voice- pieces are built (loops and beats)..on BandLab @nyla_k00  and Soundtrap (new)

I have removed the (amp) tag for consistency in distribution- acoustic pieces I perform will be tagged as ‘acoustic’ (apologies for page reorganization)

TBH, I aspire to be a guitar 🎸 but I’ll settle for being able to play competently what I hear when I write...(one day, Alice...to the moon)

I study under Duncan L. Wood and am grateful for his guidance and patience. Most of my influences are Folk/Blues/Indie, but inspiration arrives in many forms so HT to Hip Hop, Rap, Classical, especially Chamber trios. Current tracks are first cuts and I may update them in the future with cleaner versions, thank you for listening as I learn.
