MY DREAMS AND I ?
Don't bite off
more than you can chew
It can't come true
Your dreams never do
Don't dream
It won't come to pass
Don't even ask
Once again you'll be last
And a laughing stock
at that
No matter what you do
It won't come true
Your dreams never do
Don't bite off
more than you can chew
It won't come true
Your dreams never do
****
Yet they don't die
My dreams wait
dust-covered
to fly
on my next try
My dreams are alive
They thrive
on the slightest light
the slightest air
They dare
to stir
to unfurl
their wings
My dreams and I
are ready
for one more try
My dreams do not die
They wait
gestate
They long
to belong to the world
My dreams and I
The sky's not half as high
as the height they would fly
if I try
or so it seems
just one more try
if I dare
if I care
if I try
one more try
My dreams and I
I bite
more than I can chew
I learn
I need help
Will you
help
so we can reach
the sky
my dreams and I
****
Don't bite
more than you can chew
It won't come true
Your dreams never do
****
I try
Some dreams fly
halfway to the sky
and I dare
to try
for that flight
to the sky
to the stars
My dreams and I
my life and I
we dare
we care
to try
to learn
to yearn
and again
to try
to try
to try
my dreams and I
My dreams and I
My dreams don't die
They long to fly
yearn for the sky
****
Don't bite
more than you can chew
*****
But my dreams do

My dreams and I.
My dreams don't die.
They long to fly, yearn for the sky.
Don't bite more than you can chew.
But my dreams do.
Elsas words music,
spoken word poem, rap, song.
Longing to fly.
A dozen
years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.

WORDS
MUSIC WORDS
words music words
rhythm beat strong
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words to be lived

What's cooking?
Whatever comes -
words alive

movement
words moving
words shaping
words taking
words trying
to catch life
to catch moments
moments like fireflies
one moment bright
next moment gone
words
words and rhythm
words to be spoken
words to be sung
words, sounds, music
words music
words going on and on
like the beat of a drum
word pieces
piecing together moments
word music worlds
stronger
fainter
closer
and then
can't hear
they're gone
like moments
like moments
