The dragonfly is amazing
oh how it flies in space
The dragonfly is amazing
How it stops in place
Look at it fly
Look at it glide
before it flies by
And fly high
Into the Earth's sky
Watch it stop and stare
At you it looks and glares
Was it amazed by its sight?
Or did it stop mid flight?
Who knows of its curiosity?
Its presence a pleasant rite
As it ascends with its four wings
Shifting left and right
Up and down scurrying around
Look at the dragonfly go
Lifting and lifting
Sifting its pace
A wonderful gift
watching all this take place

Inspired by Nature
Was inspired by nature for it is beautiful
forever a child its beauty never grows old
ever passionate ever wonderful
full of life and lush green
Every tree stands upright
and plants color the fields
many stars hang high and tight
shining ever so bright
Earthly winds blowing trends
and air refreshes my soul
each time a breath of wind
blows and ascends
a breath of life captivates my heart
See the dew on the grass
Each drop a wonder of its own
A mist fills the space and brushes against my face
A speck of beauty at dawn I am shown
Look at the sun a blight yellow star
Though it blinds it restores what was lost
And replenishes what is used
Even better its warmth is here to stay
Come May, life begin its prime
And come August we pray for a longer season
September comes marking the fall of life
Reminding us to appreciate what is eternal
Which is what cannot be seen but heard,
Not sought but taught, not lost but gained
For eternity is the blank pages of life
and the beauty all around
So next time you see the sun see its beauty
And when you hear the wind appreciate its gentleness
All creation has a unique beauty
And the beauty of it all lasts forever,
And ever, and forevermore
forever a child its beauty never grows old
ever passionate ever wonderful
full of life and lush green
Every tree stands upright
and plants color the fields
many stars hang high and tight
shining ever so bright
Earthly winds blowing trends
and air refreshes my soul
each time a breath of wind
blows and ascends
a breath of life captivates my heart
See the dew on the grass
Each drop a wonder of its own
A mist fills the space and brushes against my face
A speck of beauty at dawn I am shown
Look at the sun a blight yellow star
Though it blinds it restores what was lost
And replenishes what is used
Even better its warmth is here to stay
Come May, life begin its prime
And come August we pray for a longer season
September comes marking the fall of life
Reminding us to appreciate what is eternal
Which is what cannot be seen but heard,
Not sought but taught, not lost but gained
For eternity is the blank pages of life
and the beauty all around
So next time you see the sun see its beauty
And when you hear the wind appreciate its gentleness
All creation has a unique beauty
And the beauty of it all lasts forever,
And ever, and forevermore
Love is but a thought (2008)
Near and far my travel speared abroad
My passion as a flame flickering
Like a switch of which is untamed
Ignorance or love I don’t know which is to blame
Seeking what is missing and cannot be attained
Through her movement echoes a faint sound
Her likeness of which none other has found
But the presence of love foolishly abound
Morning, night, and day
I follow her every way
Blinded by love my heart loses flight
Faced with a truth beyond all reality
Captivated throughout all eternity
I’m comparable to this lack of sane
For my love for you did remain the same
Now I’m trapped in the middle of a parade
Growing in strength as the Pacific waves
As long as eternity counts its days
She is but a thought away
In my mind you are thought
Instant classic over and more
But in time you will fade away
As you did forever that day
My passion as a flame flickering
Like a switch of which is untamed
Ignorance or love I don’t know which is to blame
Seeking what is missing and cannot be attained
Through her movement echoes a faint sound
Her likeness of which none other has found
But the presence of love foolishly abound
Morning, night, and day
I follow her every way
Blinded by love my heart loses flight
Faced with a truth beyond all reality
Captivated throughout all eternity
I’m comparable to this lack of sane
For my love for you did remain the same
Now I’m trapped in the middle of a parade
Growing in strength as the Pacific waves
As long as eternity counts its days
She is but a thought away
In my mind you are thought
Instant classic over and more
But in time you will fade away
As you did forever that day
Wisdom in Idioms (2009)
Hey a word to the foolish
Success is temporal so accept it with humility
Failure is temporal accept it with grace
Never make haste act boastful
Nor full of disgrace
In the end it’s the wise that rides
The tides
Hey wise man on the sand
A word of trouble
I hate to pop your bubble
But seemingly standing on the rubble
You have all the answers
Only a fool you become
As today and tomorrow
And then your death has come
An abrupt end not as you intend
To both speak and be mute
For depth is in silence while
Chaos and trembling are for those
Who boast endlessly
A rule of thumb do not be either one
For foolish creates grief
And wisdom sees destruction
Both are two ends of oppression
Flip flop the coin remains
The same untouched
Unraveled
Put together again and then
Carried away with the wind
This coin rolls and rolls
Till it reach the other end
Of the pole this coin
Is given to men of choice
But men of prime mind
Sees it as it is
A great travesty to the blind.

Away Away Watch Me Go (2009)
Away away look at me grow
Kiss me now and watch me go
Away away did you say sweet goodbye?
Tonight I take off and venture the sky
Away away look at me grow
Kiss me now and watch me go
Away away look at me flow
Up a river see me no mo’
Away away said a prayer today?
N kiss goodbye to sing a lullaby
Away away your sadness and blues
For to you I paid my dues
Away Away I spiral out of sight
Kiss the air be not in despair
Away away are your grasping hands
Which dragged me down quicker than sand
Are you surprised this day would arise
Or away away you thought I would never say
Plead and pucker all you may
Come storm and springy weather
Learn to lean on some other fella’
They too have their umbrella
If not coldness and shame to you
Is nothing more but yours to blame
For hither hither the sound faint at night
As I packed my bags
And board my next flight
Unnoticed I slipped into the night
Blown by fire engulfed not by fate
Kiss me now and watch me go
Away away did you say sweet goodbye?
Tonight I take off and venture the sky
Away away look at me grow
Kiss me now and watch me go
Away away look at me flow
Up a river see me no mo’
Away away said a prayer today?
N kiss goodbye to sing a lullaby
Away away your sadness and blues
For to you I paid my dues
Away Away I spiral out of sight
Kiss the air be not in despair
Away away are your grasping hands
Which dragged me down quicker than sand
Are you surprised this day would arise
Or away away you thought I would never say
Plead and pucker all you may
Come storm and springy weather
Learn to lean on some other fella’
They too have their umbrella
If not coldness and shame to you
Is nothing more but yours to blame
For hither hither the sound faint at night
As I packed my bags
And board my next flight
Unnoticed I slipped into the night
Blown by fire engulfed not by fate
Wisdom in Idioms part 2 (2009)
Hey hey you wise and you fools
Why drool and be glad?
You are one and the same
You share similar beliefs
And are twin sisters
Except one sees what the other
Doesn’t
You see I spent a while as a fool
Only to become wise
To be thought as of wise
A dream to be had
But it ended with me in grief
In regret and sorrow
Dejected rejected objected injected
I became one in myself
Only to wish to be a fool again
With blind optimism I escaped doom
But when it came and destroyed my reality
I felt but hollow
To disappointment went my dreams
Yet somehow I was happier than the wise man
Was it that I dreamed big and not small
Saw the world as a child and not a pessimist?
For the wise man
Where did this innocence go?
For in it I saw what the wise man could not see
Now that I’m wise that vision has died
Of it became a liquid
A vapor
A gas
Faint
Lost
Out
Of
I
Why drool and be glad?
You are one and the same
You share similar beliefs
And are twin sisters
Except one sees what the other
Doesn’t
You see I spent a while as a fool
Only to become wise

A dream to be had
But it ended with me in grief

Rat tat tat tat on this (2011)
Rat tat tat tat on this
K…k…k… catalyst take a bow
And feel proud
welcome to the show
take a seat I’ll tell you how it go
See the stars at night
means you’d hold your dream tight
doesn’t mean you dreamed right
were you blind after nine’
think sweet memories
Carpe Diem would blow your mind
out of time take a steep step into space
go with the flow do what you know
a rhyme that can’t be erased
cause it’s constantly in your taste
it’s in your face like a fly stuck on a web
the flavor is sweet kool –aid
can it be drinkin with a glass
on a cold summer day put it on blast
let us bow our knees as we pray
dear Jesus guide every step of the way
then there is silence every mile spent
but k…k…k.. catalyst run and go tat on this
give a blank stare round and silly
three times a reject more than free Willy
Picture this on winter bliss
when the flakes are falling grab them to be
less than the salt when brought to the city
what a pity to stand before a committee
Who’s the judge bring them forth
sit down there a seat
grab your mallet and bring your heat
keep the trial short…remember that
keep the face straight…remember that
Rat tat tat tat on this
K…k…k… catalyst take a bow
feel surely proud scream nice and loud
wear a sheet to cover the face
albino you’re not but drained of color
wow what a character
did being seen remove a spleen
Stop, catch a breath, get some rest
still not as bad as the rest
a breath fills the air as a mist
ghost town am I’m right?
shutdown last call was breathtaking
free for all how we know you’re not faking?
Rat tat tat tat on this
K…k…k… catalyst
tag yourself instead of someone else
make a choice stick to your message
or have it lost its voice?
deserted is it left alone if so
then change the tone
stand up big strong ,grow thick strengthen bones
oh catalyst when you read this did you frown at thiss…?

Tat On My Back (2011)
Rat tat tat I wrote across my back
Tic for tac the pen n' rhyme attack
Only this time sit still relax
As I take you back to when I first drew my tat
Professional no that was not needed
Why worry about my skin the alcohol does cleanse it
Pretend stop breathe New York city's breeze
As Panama could not bring you to tease
Round n round we spin and spin
Like a globe our Earth cool and it mends
Together as moon n’ sun we bring day and night as one
Taken captive by our imagination hence no star could compare
a hot flash girl then the sun glares
Flame fire burning a candle wick tic toc
The clock tics the wax drips
The candle once so tall is ever melting ever so small
It warps and deforms itself burning chiding
Scent is gives away light in shade
But the darkness of the night would have its way
As the candle became you the light it had Flickered now flash it's almost out
But the flame fights for its life but time tics away
Rat tat tat..the rhyme then swayed
Deeper and deeper the flame burned louder
Crackling heckling the listeners within ear...
How else would the audience know this flame was only a season for its time had come
Now the end and some
A match once lit could not keep the flame
Neither could its inheritance
For who is able to take a matches flame and carry it ever?
Not me? Not you? Not they?..
But wait what about the sun?
Does it burn even after the light of day?
The torch must be carried into the night
In the depth and hallows into eternity's night
Take my dear my tear and bleed with your ear
I'll tell you once and again the rhyme changed wind
This time the leaves rolled their way
Happily during the day they took no stops
Up a hill they rolled with zeal
When they got to the top they saw they had reached their peak
Now standing on the edge they contemplated going forward even though it meant going backwards
How could this be does not all roads lead to heaven?
Ignorance is bliss and blissful it is
At the top of every mountain lies the path to every valley
This is true so true I must say the lows bring the highs and the highs define the lows
For at every tip there's a toe
And and every toe a foot to crush the weeds
For every weed there is rich soil and for the soil a beautiful plant....
How is it then two opposing sides can exist on the same coin?
Insanity this is hypocrisy madness
The yin and yang share the same space...
In every beauty there is an element of darkness
In my perfection lies imperfection
Did you catch that line? Try again wink...
Sometimes space isn't needed where the opposites make a whole
or makes true the opposing side
or makes true the opposing side
But I suppose it may take years to see the hidden meaning had i not hinted at its existence.
Even still seven lines above will be read not understood
hence read between the lines
hence read between the lines
I'm stating what perfection is....
Oh geese now they think this guy's a wiz
Not in your dreams im just a man with a tat
On his back who hired a rat to tat that
And together we both sat tic toc tic toc
and chit chatted as time slipped away
and chit chatted as time slipped away
