Motown Love

I just want to love you more. Because it's you that I adore. I can't fake the funk when it comes to you. Cause I just love the way you do the things you do. Now I've tried to stop in the name of love. But you see oooh baby. I just feel good. You make me so happy baby that I have tears of a clown. And our love it's growing. Sometimes I watch you pass by and I think what could be. Now I know that's It's just my imagination. But tell me baby love, who's loving you. You know I'll be there. Everybody plays the fool sometimes but I'm not a fool baby. You got me on a natural high, always and forever baby. And you know that I'm just a love machine. When I think of us I just want to go dancing in the street and you know I ain't to proud to beg. You're my girl. Goodnight sweetheart.

A dreamer comes

In a moment in time there was a thought. The thought was about a dreamer.  You see on this planet dreaming is illegal. If you wanted to dream you had to go underground. This planet was just a dark and dull place. To be continued

Title of Play

Me and Mrs. Jones finally got to meet Miss Jones. This was during the spring. We realized that spring can really hang you up the most but yet it was s'wonderful. We met at Chelsea Bridge and later we had dined at the waterfront. We were overjoyed to hang out. Lately we have been a little superstitious about certain things. I guess it was just one of those things. But we knew that summertime was coming soon and that we'd be following the footprints of our ancestors, Did I tell you that we are making a trip to New York, New York. Someone told me that it don't mean a thing if we don't go on Broadway to see a show. I think it might be Too darn hot if we go in July though. I prefer Central Park West after the rain. I like Nature, Boy do I love it. Sometimes I fall for these Fooish Things. It's okay we have taken giant steps forward and we've only just begun.

A Prayer

This is from something I wrote about 11 years ago while I was in college. I hope you dig it. It makes me think of how much I loved music back then. I think I've changed some, but this is how I feel about the art.

Lord, make me an instrument of your love,

Help me to understand myself, along with the universe.

Help me to take in the need, the love and passion for

This great thing called passion.

I would like to have the passion to appreciate the worth of human nature

Wherein I breathe the breath of my soul in which

it can go further through life and it can also

tell me my conscience

Whether it be bad or good, I want to know

The true meaning of life.

I love you O Lord, My God,

I appreciate my faults in life.

You have given me a gift of expression,

Through music I can speak over 10,0000 languages through my voice.

I love you for that

I love you for this.

I have this sweet sense of knowledge

Because of you

I want to live the life of a pauper with the riches of

Wisdom

Through wisdom, I can erase this funkness of this rash reality

And make it into a love, a sweet harmless dance of soul

Night

I wrote these lyrics in collaboration with Discopoet Khari B. This written for a composition by the composer Tomeka Reid for the Englewood Jazz Festival. Text in bold is by Discopoet.

A Journey Begins with sudden light. Night! With a constant passage thru the light. Just look for a fantastic sight in view with a taste of the soul. we move in the night we live in the light then, there, now, with time. Now hear it. The bustle of the crowd. Joy!!!!! Waiting for the one who's yet to come. They see how the great glories of the past will return the bright light. we move in the night we live in the light then there now with timewe move in the night we live in the light then, there, now, with time, With a sound, With your heart in the night there's light!!!! With a sound, With your heart in the night there's light!!!

A Play of Lyrics

I love you music. Seriously I do. You make me feel so young even when My foolish heart doesn't know what love is. Time after Time I think about you, day in day out. I wish you would come fly with me to Brazil. Maybe we could take aa slow boat to china. Maybe no, I might catch a fever. But if we do I could tell you a bed time story about dolphins dancing on the waterfront. I know these are foolish things, but I have dreamed about you. SOmeone told me that I should forget about it and darn that dream. It doesn't matter where or when you know. It's some kind of witchcraft that you have over me. Let's just go crusin' till we see that midnight sun. We could go here some musicians play and see the guy slap that bass. Even Mr. Paganini might be there. Or we could go play in the grass and watch the little bunnies with their little cottontails. I'm sure I can make some sort of impression. Anyway. it's great. S'wonderful. I care about you and that's all. PEace

Message in the Early Morning

Message in the Early Morning Deep in time I think about it Why life spins along the axis of faith For once there's a call in the middle of the night, You stop and focus and wonder about the plight, For you never mean to hurt and you never mean to bother, All you try to do is ponder and ponder, what is it all about, what are we all doing here, Is it a magic connection or just a false interaction. You never really know how to think or how to act, because as a man we sometimes don't have much tact. So make an apology and try to be free. Hoping that she will forgive thee. So as I sit on the bed at this very hour, I will ponder some things before I take this shower. What is it all about. What is all about. For I have no idea but maybe I will find out. I am a blessed man because I have love and family, yet somehow I need more and that makes me learn in this academy. For maybe we'll meet and maybe we won't. Just hoping that a friendship will be just not enough. For I look for the time that I see her sweet smile and next, Who knows, we may walk a small mile. This was an impromptu little ditty unedited on my mobile device. Peace and Love everyone!!!!!
