Avant- When It Hurts

Art Thoroughly

I began with a Sketch, I draw your really quickly

Not looking for perfection

I sense your feelings and thoughts and began to illustrate

A brief light artistic signifcant composition

Creating your masterpiece without a mistake

I draw you giving you all of myself

Hoping it won't be the wrong decision and have to erase

I pencil you in I only have a idea of you only a interest I feel in my heart

However, as I continue I discover more about you

I draw the sketch to a close, finding out u have turned into a work of art

With the sketch almost complete, I seize the mood of this precise feeling

Capturing the frame of mind, that causes a heart some healing

Sketch is complete and move on to the final drawing

I draw you with more patience taking my time

No distractions all concentration ahead, no errors

Bringing out your face, your expressions. I emphasis no errors

Using the drawing as if I could turn it into a painting on canvas

Through its colors and creativity that could speak its own lectures

Beginning to paint, I recreate you that's felt in my heart and thought about in my mind

Painting what I see, what I feel, what I want.

The canvas talks on its own, your portrait is finished, not blinded

Is your portrait there on my canvas, the work of art that sits in front of us?

Is it you that I painted, that's could be sold at a art gallery

And that could push an affectionate bonus

Is it u that I painted so thoroughly?

Thunder

New Poem: I wrote on a day of a
storm. Ideas came to mind. Writing was the next
thing i saw myself doing. Enjoy!


The relief of energy, the burden that I hold
The sudden release of energy
The burden has dwindled, Love is here that I with hold
I do not realize what this feeling is, It questions me
The rumbling and the loud noise I feel inside
It's the amount of affection greater than expression
A flash of light that triggers something
Thinking can't be done, wondering is not an option
It's here, I want it here to stay
Like any other type of weather
I would hate this love to by pass my way
It could take a alternative passage
Around the world to the next state
It could demolish everything in its path
But his love is manifested of strong winds that you can't begin to rate
The storm could be accompained by rain, sleet, or snow,
It's summer, so it won't thunder any of those
Love is like a thunder storm
The energy we have co exist together, we feel the same thing
Its a thunder storm, no experssion it's everything and more

Beating Around the Freakin Bush!

Just came to my mind.
I'm getting tired of finding myself
or constantly associating myself
with people that beat around the freaking bush.
They say one thing and then do another. They mean one thing but
endlessly do the opposite. They feel a certain way then approach you
different. CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE UP
YOUR MIND! Is it really that hard. You don't know what you want
and I'm trying to be civil about it. Your confusing yourself and blinding your-
self from what is really true.
I hate when you start to think, please just change the time.
Why do i always consider?
Still thinking might just lead you to no one.
Now your on your own. Surrounded by that individual
that doesn't truly mean anything to you.

Be strong, just getaway to that individual

Learn what they honestly mean, You

continually think about them
Don't contemplate now. I made the change.

No apologizes,

Might Consider.

Swollen

My fellow friends and myself decided to hit up the courts after a long day of

college credited classes. We had a thousand papers to do and decided to grace our presence

at the b ball courts. It was outrageously hot at the park and my

body was just going kaput as we went along. I was so of balance not hitting the shots that I usually make and everything. Just being lazy,

shall I just put it in those words. It was so hot

felt like the devil was playing defense on me. I don't think i was ready for the hot weather.

As things got rotten my killa Court does some type of big man move in

push my butt right to the ground.

I'm in pain I guess, I like landed right on my ankle.

I never realize pain until after or you could say I

wasn't going to show the twinge because

there was some fly, athletic, delightful, and endearing men there.

You know i was going to

try to play off the pain as much as i could.

That sucker was done. My ankle could stand anymore walking or running

it was time get back to the crib.

I got in the house and couldn't walk up the steps

Then when i looked at my ankle

it looked like the size of a cantaloupe that i was about to

help myself to.

Putting ice and doing all this stuff for

this reckless ankle isn't making anything better, especially as

i craw all around the house or use my hockey stick as my cane.

Not even to mention that my loving sibs and caring parents

are enjoying every bit of this.

I just hope whatever i did to this ankle heals before hockey because i

can't do damage if I'M damage.

My Drive Thru

Spotlight: J Davey

This Duo From Los Angeles caught my ear out of
no where after reading about them in many magazines. First
starting off as a Underground celebrity then making their way to something
even bigger. They caught my attention because anyone can relate to their
sound, lyrics, beats, and the things they are trying to say.
