Turnstyle (Spoken Word on Soundcloud)

Tempting the turnstyle

With tokens for travel

Threadbare sweaters

I unravel

The mystery

Ahead of me

Taking notes

Holding hopes

Dreams with purpose

Remembering deeds

Creating the means

To manifest

My visions

Driving

With an even keel

Take to the feel

Of balance

Beams brighter

On high

Higher motivation

Heightened awareness

Infectious bliss

Beckoning

Reckoning

Righteously

What the

See-ers see

Inextricably

Connected

To the web

Woven

Basket - like

Holding us together

As we gather

Our minds

Preparing for times

Of change

For the world will

Re-arrange

Re-amend

Wrong-doings

To self preserve

And continue the

Learning curve

Turning in style

Muting the Thoughts (Spoken Word on Soundcloud)

It's hard
To give up
What you don't
Want to quit
Even if it's
Substance-less
An empty hole
With an obvious exit
Put it down
And turn around
Walk on out
So strange
This change
Of perspective
Muting
The thoughts
That had directed
My day
My way
Of seeing
And perceiving
Wrongly
Misleading
Myself
In search
Or chase
Of someone else
Always barking up
The wrong tree
When what I need
Is to be free
