We're just building -- Thas' all -- *smiles*


/ / gsquared / /

The mortar is well
the well is deep
the depth is infinite
Fingers grip God
held in hand's palm
a joyful psalm

Doubts fly kites
birds fly right and
keys dangle

Clouds gather
heat squeezes
synergy beckons

reckonings breathe and
singularities whistle
through the lungs of
nature's ghetto


\\ PhotoSynthesis //

Endless skies swell
above eternal peace
A peace that passeth
all understanding
Reprimanding logic
I see -- With eyes closed

Visions dilate pupils
Opening windows to select souls
Insight ensues

Clarity conceives
Complexity recedes
Cognition bears food 4 thought

Baptism in life's storms
sprinkles infant insecurities
With fertile sustenance
Growth is unavoidable


/ / gsquared / /

And the void
is unvoidable
seething potential
black expanses sizzling
energy crackles
Spackling the doors of
perception with
immaculate conceptions
fetal whirlwinds spin
momentary blisses
around tender kisses
punctuating days and
lending credence to
the night
around every corner
and just out of sight
something awaits me

Beautiful... i love the flow, i love the whole poem... this deserves more views and more replies... cmon now peeps appreciate real stuff... and this, this is real.

>Growth is unavoidable

Damn! You always have the most beautiful lines, that was one of my favourites amongst many. Gsquared you also had some cool lyrics, I better keep an eye out for your work from now on.

Can we go to Jamaica for honeymoon? -- *chuckles* -- And will you have some money left over when we get back? -- ;^)

I can't marry no broke man yaknow? -- *LoL*

i'm starting to become jealous =p

*smiles*

yawl postin up freehands like woah up in hyerrrrr i'm feelin that.

the poetry's good. sparks of brilliance.

the title is either lazy or rushed but hey who critiques titles anymore?

EL KWEEZIE

so...do i really need to say anything, photo?? *winks*
fo real though, this is a good piece. I liked that it wasn't too long, (I don't have time these days) but it showcased both your talents nicely...aight, you COULD make it a lil longer *winks*

this is like those lego building blocks when we were young and all structures were beautiful in this case it is beautiful

peace

i'm not sure when i last read something where the title and the piece were so perfectly matched.

nice collab.

Perceptive of you DBG -- *smiles*

Leggo's -- That's what it felt like -- Building with "word" blocks -- Yet contained within EACH block was a concept or idea -- Carefully locked into a short verse.

I'm glad YOU understood the concept boo! -- *wink*


Some ppl thought we were just being LAZY with the title -- But there WAS a method to the madness -- And a reason to the rhyme! -- *wink*


Thanks for the peep! -- ;^)

I think that's what I enjoy about your pieces (or part of it-) always method to the madness...and intellect to the imagery *smiles*
*buildin a tower of leggos to put this on and make it go ^UP^*

somepeople see parlor tricks for parlor tricks.

lincoln logs and popsickle sticks with a pinch of tiddliwinks to you too.

Trust me -- YOU are not perceptive enough to see MY parlor tricks my dear -- ;^)

Step into my parlor -- SAID THE SPIDER TO THE FLY! -- *chuckles*

each new poem i read of yours still amazes me. so much vivid creativity and a beautiful use of words. you're the type of poet that i'm here to strive to be. thank you

there so much I could say that i liked.....

mostly I liked the vibing.....very smooth & free

Fingers grip God


wow... what a line.

This is brillant...very inspirational...very encouraging...it was my pleasure to read.

These are some of the most beautiful and compelling lines that i have read on this board..keep me fed, I loved it.

feeels like ya wasadding on to each others house ......
like you had a set of blocks and he had a set ....and he looked over and said do it like this ....almost forced ..but came out beautiful

i like the title. photo, nice middle -- the compactness of it and the way it builds into g's ending section. i'm a little confused by this part, g:

"Doubts fly kites
birds fly right and
keys dangle

Clouds gather
heat squeezes
synergy beckons

reckonings breathe and
singularities whistle
through the lungs of
nature's ghetto"

is it possible to get a breakdown, especially on the last section?

peace,

"During the day – I swim with Dolphins
At sunset – I sprout wings and soar with eagles & nocturnal owls
And at twilight – I retreat to the safety of Mother Earth’s womb
As Father time comforts & heals Love’s wounds
So once again I can skip across painted poetic stones
Leaving footprints in the bottom of hourglass sands
Rejoice in renewal --
Bow down --
Fold hands --"

For makin' me step "OUTSIDE" Da Box -- And outside my regular comfort zone steelo! -- ;^) -- If we had posted my original flow, I don't think I would've been happy with the final outcome.

I just NEEDED that push in the "Twilight Zone" direction! -- *chuckles*


And thanks to everyone who showed us love! -- *smiles*

i honestly didnt think Photo could take it to where G takes it and well....i was soooo wrong...this was really well laid and the way Photo matched G in the abstractness was masterfully done...you both meshed together and if i was to read without the names i dont think i could figure who was who...it was that good..2 very talented heads coming together for and archivable piece...niceness...peace.

>2 very talented heads coming together for an archivable piece...niceness...peace.

Shameless SECOND THAT EMOTION! -- *giggles*

By the way Ax -- Didn't you notice -- "G's" finished product looks like a "Transformer" -- while mine looks like a leggo crash dummy or summm shit -- *chuckles*

I think I pulled it off aaiiight tho -- *wink*

Thanx for your comments & support! -- (((Much Appreciated)))

This is just so sweet right here:

reckonings breathe and
singularities whistle
through the lungs of
nature's ghetto

makes me think:
"singularities whistle"
strained like a tea kettle
leaves settle
grief howls
like the last train
through the night
"of nature's ghetto"

inspired by your rhyme
hope you don't mind

>Photo, you've done some very nice collabos...you know how to pick 'em. :-)

It's funny yaknow -- Cuz when I sent gsquared my original verse -- He told me str8 up he didn't like it! -- *HuH?* -- He was like: "I need you to dig down deeper and pull up some "OTHER SHYT" on another level -- (A Different Level)

I was like: *Boo Hoo* -- WTF does he want?!?! -- ;^(

But when he provided me with HIS verse -- I picked up HIS vibe and flowed from it, nahmean?

I guess I'm a better follower than leader -- *chuckles*

Look first of all sorry for the late reply I was on vacation, but dammmmmmnn......this was a sick piece all around but I got to say "g" put that shit down in the last section I read it like 5 times..............love it
