And then it was over In the final sense The last chapter closed The death acknowledged Hearts broken and battered and shattered Words hung in the air likes stars in the sky begging for the day to save them from their shadows No tears They’ve been wept Stillness As the door shut I clenched my chest Feeling for my heart And I found Emptiness A cavity A hole A blank spot As I carefully searched the space that once held a heart I stopped And grabbed hold of a word Of a lyric Of a purpose Hesitating for a moment I looked around And took it Placing it in the palm of my hand Feeling its pulse For years I wandered Lyric in hand Clutched safely Kept secret Until one day I found another lyric clutching hand And soundlessly My lyric willed my hand forward And as I reached out to it It reached out to me And our lyrics met And linked And for the first time In a long time In that cavity In that hole In that blank spot I started to feel again

It’s on my mind, On my mind now. Thoughts clog up, restin’ on the noggin, shakin’ the head constantly to free all them. Walkin’, reminisce about all the lost friends often that wish that I would off to my coffin. Stop that, no pass go, you can’t cross, man. Moshin’ about, façade, you get blocked man. Aw damn: difficult to fly with a crosswind. Thinkin’ you’re profound, but you’re so lost when fifteen minutes of fame got jaws open. Used to be red hot, doc. You’re now smokin’, smolderin’ throughout boulders of coal and you know it’s not long ‘fore you catch cold. We know how it goes, so we keep with the flow. Gotta proceed. There’s no time to stop the show. And by the end of it all, nothing is far from the truth. I’m just happy that I could share my song with you. Don’t wanna give it up, don’t wanna go to sleep, it’s on my mind, but it’s through hurting me what’s on my mind. For this, I’d get the gold out. Right from the mind, slow down. Write the divine notes until we get the microphone out. Transcribe emotions from the heart and inner dome. How painful must it get to realize you’re all alone now? Took it as a moment to grow, ‘cause the destruction that resided in me caused my inability to function. Searched form sum’n of a soul; found nothin’ but a puppet that loved the overconsumption of substance. Drink it down, bro. There’s not another that’ll love you as much as the bottle confronting you when you’re chuggin’ comfort. Sun hurts when the head rises, penetrating red eyes. Just survivin’ another day, ever since you said goodbye. Severed ties till wise. Now we be chattin’ every once in a while as I recollect what happened. Just some grown man shit that a kid gotta go thru. Wrote the song, expressed the feelings just so I could show you. Every day been going on with out you and I’m doing fine, now I see all the others and you, you’re not the one. You’re no longer on my mind, you’re no longer keeping time to the beat of my heart, you’re no longer keeping time I’m moving on.

Gone… Missed my chance with you, singing these songs for you and you’re gone. Missed my chance with you, should have just spoken my truth but you’re gone. I should have never let you get away. Gone to live another life without me, another path, direction to see. Should’ve never let you go without me. Turning round and leaving through the door I should have followed you, spoken my truth, been free with my mind and declared how I felt, and declared how I feel but you’re gone, I kept silent. You’re gone; I kept silent. Gone with the wind, where have you been? I only wish that I could see you again. Be your friend… Something more than when I see you and it's just pretend. Beyond imagination, facing patience. Feel the need to break from the displacement
and just get you close. Forget your clothes; look deep into your eyes, above your pretty nose. Your Romeo, and only you would know love never acts the way that it's supposed to go and I know you're gonna grow, so we all need to be prepared for when you fall. Take the plunge! Fallin', fallin' deep down. You control your actions in your sleep now. Rest upon the floor in front of fire. We'll meet again, for it is my desire But you left me, standing with my heart in my hands. Lonely without you, you made me feel like you were going to take me there but you’re gone; I kept silent. You’re gone, without me.

Every move that you make leads you somewhere, moving forward. Every thought, step, act you take leads you somewhere, moving forward. Everything that you say, every game that you play, you’re moving forward. The creator. The big bang theory. The worry that lightning will be thrown down to spear me. Like Achilles, feel the need to be dominant. Grow opponents without the use of a hypothesis. Is the end result what you expected? Taught you a lesson? Feel resurrected? Kill for the message, regardless the essence. What you do in a session creates a reflection: a wave, it’s been sent by the moods of the moon. It proceeds to those who choose to use and consume. They wanna leave a boom. Can’t fall on deaf ears. Put me in a stuffy room I’ll collect the fresh air. Correct the best-wear’d and neglect burets, hair. Respect the less-cared and perfect amiss fair. Creation. Innovation takes time, sort-of. I pay it, the same way I’m moving it: forward. ‘Cause it’s plain to see: I can’t be nobody but me. It’s time for me to go, so remember I will miss you so. Creation applies and will continue ‘til they discover the meaning of pi. And as we proceed we will continue moving forward just to give you what you need. Manifestation of miraculous events take place in a complex of mind and this happens in rhythm in 4/4 time. Happening moments miraculous events producing in double time, in my life, sharing my groove, complementing the present flow. In my mind, everything is moving forward. In double time everything is moving forward. I’m moving forward and you’re moving too. We’re moving forward, moving forward with you. Creation. Like you need to find history. The first time these keys been played in a symphony. But it repeats, and operates in a pattern, continues to orbit, like the many rings of Saturn. But new patents and schematics tend to follow habits. Reinventing the wheel’s just happened but cat, we back at it, like crack for that addict. Imagine if that passion was put back into rappin’. It’s like you awaken from the womb. Your past life: a cat with nine lives that died for a fat price. Catch mice? Coulda’, but a car rolled on black ice. Hit you, and squished you. Like, there goes your last life! It’s way more than being educated on a certain subject. You never embraced it. So what’s next? It’s like an epiphany that you never knew existed. We insist it is recorded to listen for those who’ve missed it. If you are open and listen just pay attention open up your eyes to see Who’s on your left? Who’s on your right? Like it or not you have a choice in your creation Forget paid wages, sometimes you gotta be patient. A virtuous action to free what’s been latent. Develop your mind; it’s time to build within the nation.

Got me feeling so good, feeling so free. Living the way I was meant to be My life is a new now I’ve closed the door on you. Heart once a mess finally be at rest. Healed piece by piece gone are tears and grief and I’m free to be open to the sun. And the times through the grey I didn’t think I’d see the end but years heal the pain and I’m open one again. A channel for love, rising above, free to be me in the sunshine. On a gorgeous morning as this, I’m feelin’ motivated. Appreciating one’s existence. Been thru the thick of it, ‘til I got sick of it. Picked myself up, started conducting business. A beautiful struggle, compromised from pain, ability to release it, and love once again. Just a point I felt I had to prove: enjoy the present. The future comes too soon. My life in the sunshine… Blessings from the pure essence. We endure to learn some life lessons. Alone kid on the road. No matter where the microphone is at, it’s always at home. And I realize now what I couldn’t have known then What’s that L.Grace? You gotta start at the beginning to learn at the end. Fueled by hope for a brand new start, I sing out free from my once broken heart. And I know through the shit is a brand new day as I reach out to feel the rays. Sunshine: this force of nature, brings words to paper. Bright lights let me see the change. And I know in my soul that I’ll be OK as I reach out to feel the rays Sunshine: this force of nature brings light to the moment. Reflect on how to shape your day. It’s hard to beat such great feelings as this. Makes you think back to the day that we were dreaming as kids. You know, the innocence: what you wanna be when you grow up? We’ll still be figuring out our lives when we’re grownups! Never doors shut, we only open ‘em. Dreamscape subjected to put a little hope in ‘em. Took a breather, now it’s time for us to focus in. Return after a cold winter like a crocus can. It took time for these buds to blossom. We’ve been waiting for the summertime to get it poppin’. So once the lake’s warm enough, ayo! We hop in and never stop ‘til dawn, and on, and on… It’s like a weight’s been lifted, a chance I’ve been gifted. It was all to be found in time’s passing by. Fueled by the sound and love as supply Livin’ life in the sunshine, c’mon! We in the sunshine

Until the heartbreak hangover passed, I was unaware of how fortunate it is to just… be. One can only get drunk off love so many times before becoming permanently damaged with the repercussions. We’d seen what had come from falling… in love. Face down to the ground I had never been more determined to keep my nose to the grindstone. With you On My Mind, it wasn’t until you were Gone, when I could finally begin Moving Forward toward the Sun…Shine. What an empowering moment it was. Pride in what I had…vanished. Only to create pride in what I was, and could be. Now knowing that my limitation is ‘pon self, I can’t help but to give in to temptation every once in a while and display weakness. Only difference is today I showed up sleeveless. In advance, I ask for forgiveness, ‘cause with weather like this, there may be nights I seem cold. That doesn’t mean I’m not open. You see, with longevity in this connection there must be something more in these synchronicities than what we choose to simplify into a coincidence. It’s a beautiful thing we had, but as these seasons change we will experience fresh scenery. So, as I write my books, please don’t be offended if I don’t include a second chance; for I always leave the last page blank in case I miss something. I didn’t want you there when I fell. I needed what I knew I couldn’t have. But I gave myself time to strengthen my backbone. As I stood up straight, I connected with a dear soul who guided me to safety from the whirlwind. While caring for me, she exposed the sediment that resided upon me, and proposed the sentiment be free. It took time for such emotions to be properly expressed, but the healing was effective without urgency. The turbulence was no random occurrence. Though the lust may flourish, the love will remain permanent. Thus, The Lore begins its emergence.

about

Emergence is the rebirth that one goes thru following an experience that requires growth in an effort to better one’s life. In this instance, we refer it to the breakups we endured; we went thru such challenging situations to be able to learn from them and reach a higher purpose in life. We did our best efforts to display the roller-coaster of splitting up with someone to assist with the healing for others, as the making of these were therapeutic for ourselves. The creation process was heavy, so we are thankful to look back at a successful completion of the project, and open up once again to our ever-growing network. Thank you for taking the time to hear our first collaborative work. Best wishes to you; we sincerely hope this helps for whatever healing process you may be going thru. Let’s get out of the deep end.
