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

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

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.
Nice Guys
"The middle of the night/We fight like barbarians/In the sight of the former might/You think that it's a waste/Of our time/ And I think you would be right/ Till he drops the rhyme" The Roots in "guns are Drawn" in "The Tipping Point"
"If pain had smoke like fire, the world would be in darkness forever. If you search the whole world you would not find a wise man that is happy."
Abul Said-eh Abul Khair ( An 11th century sufi poet)

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*
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 -- ;^)

This is brillant...very inspirational...very encouraging...it was my pleasure to read.
~Complex with the creative content on a conquest with concepts and context as concrete as poetry ~Its real and ill when I be sitting still yet still rocking to my mental rhythme. ~Its just right when I write

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
...setting a kite out w/ a key attached to try to find something electrical, transcendant, powerfully energetic, a new invention even, in the mind...the last part about respiration and sound, a collective breathing and subsequent whistling musical....and even cities, kinda paved and dirty, are of nature...
"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*

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"

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*
