QUOTE OF THE DAY

I ALWAYS SAY THAT "BEING SUCCESSFUL SHOULDN'T BE MEASURED BY YOUR WEALTH BUT YOUR WEALTH SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU ARE IN CHANGING A LIFE, FULFILLING YOUR DREAMS AND SATISFIED OF WHO YOU WERE AND BECAME."

I'm my own woman! I do my OWN thing! and I definitely don't need to share with you what's going on with me! I have my OWN kind of way of thinking , I have my OWN prerogative . You worry about yours and I'm going to be fine worry about mines!

Dark Music


Water Waves are splashing 
the sounds of trumphets 
bass drums piercing my eardrum
tunes floating amongst the
backsplash of my mind 
I couldnt put the voices in a place music
was the refugee camp of artist filled with anger and ready
for the war chart toppers one hit wonders, piano key strokes
were what I felt then I felt ...I felt the pain of cold brick
laying hands strong against
my tender skin.
The tunes began to become
heavy and unannounced
drowned in the deep dark sounds for a moment
all I  knew were melodic tunes 

I pulled myself from the savage to a 
sea of hands
my body ached in pain no longer
was I enjoying the music or dancing to the beat
I had become crippled by the composer of what I thought would've been
the greatest symphony
there were no audience no appaulders
or not even a person to stop the show
A show that was losing it focus, its plot
characters weren't playing their parts
teners were singing alto
alto was singing barotone
it had become something not on 
the front of the playbill
but  an article on the front of the Daily News
coverage of the Dark Music
was being broadcast, glad someone noticed soon 
just before the record stopped playing
or the curtains were pulled
and who often thought was the greatest composer
was yet indeed the greatest composer
not of art nor music but of hurt and pain
he moved to his own rhythm and refused to change notes
was his main singer forced losing a tune
hadn't out my heart in and the words slurred from my tongue
I'VE BEEN BEATEN BY MUSIC

JUST A LITTLE POEM FOR THE WEEK

OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Ando it began
Like a song on repeat
It became repetitive
It became a remembrance
It reminded me of something
Something that was familiar
Something that was more
; Than likely to happen to me
Something that I’d done before
Couldn’t put my mind on it
Couldn’t allocate it
Couldn’t describe it; but

It happened over and over again

Like the beginning words of this poem
Like the ending words of this poem
Like the stanza of this poem
It became annoying to me
It became a feeling of déjà vu
It became more clear to me that
Something was reoccurring
Something occurred before
Something happened; over and over again
Couldn’t put my mind on it,
Like pressing pause of this tape playing,
It was a feeling,
Something usual but strange and uninviting
Don’t know why can’t describe it but it keeps happening
OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
