The Poetry Crib: Holdin’ On










Holdin’ On
by Dan Franklin
of Mind of Mirrors

As I trace all the steps that I’ve taken
Like a photograph with all of the faces faded
Familiar, but can’t be placed

There’s a sense in the distance that draws me.
Smiling siren’s voice playfully paints
The mirage of reclaimable innocence

CHO:
You can’t go back, but you can’t move on
‘Til you let go, but you keep holding on.

All the streets in the town I grew up in
Tell of rusty memories that time has corrupted
And spliced together carelessly

Clearly there’s nothing left for me here still,
I admit my addiction to denial
While your ghost lurks everywhere
CHO:
You can’t go back, but you can’t move on
‘Til you let go, but you keep holding on.

Theron Kennedy's Poetry Crib: Live Streaming













Live Streaming
by Theron Kennedy

I don't kick the tires
on any vehicles
that bring me truth
I'm still Hip Hop
even if I
never again
grab the mic
or step inside
a recording booth

Wise enough to feast
on crumbs and fragments
even after drinking
from the whole
There is no lack in me
I have the Universal
backbone in me
even my antagonist
befriends me
my rhymes transcend me
metamotivated
elevated
fresh water
flows through me
never stagnated
or seperated
lies will never
subdue me
school me
I Am Learning
a disciple
of what is
cracked code bliss
know this
wholeness
homies
even death
cannot hold me
only shows
what words
don't know
where the path
inside my soul goes
open ME
and God flows

The Poetry Crib: Women are my Tribe

Women are My Tribe
by Von Rupert

Women are beautiful. Without makeup. Without pretense. Without covering their mouths when they laugh.  Without a man, without children, without hurting other women.   

 Women are beautiful.  With breasts that are big and breasts that are small, with breasts that don’t match (because really they do), with breasts that have been rebuilt.   


Women are beautiful.  With wrinkles, and pimples, and scars.  With all three.  With glasses, with braces, with wheelchairs.  With brown hair and gray hair, with straight hair and curly hair, coarse hair and fine. With no hair. 

Women are my tribe.

Lotions won’t make you beautiful. A diet won’t make you beautiful. A pair of jeans won’t make you beautiful.  All those companies with their flashy ads won’t make you beautiful. For ten bucks they’ll steal your confidence and sell you a bottle of crap and swear it’s the fountain of youth. 

None of their models look like you.  None of them look like me.  I’m not that skinny or that blond or that tan or that black or that curvy or that anything.  My smile isn’t that perfect, my lashes aren’t that long, my skin isn’t that smooth.   

I wasn’t conceived in a computer—photoshopped, cropped, and whitened--and neither were you.  Enough!

Enough of their ifs.  If you wear this bra, you’re beautiful.  If you buy this cream, you’re beautiful.  If you starve yourself, you’re beautiful .
   
You ARE beautiful.  

Your beauty flows from your mind and your heart as it swims with your soul.  Your beauty whispers and shouts through your outlook, your deeds, and your passion. Beauty throbs outward and inward through our tribe like heartbeats, like drumbeats.  Like thunder.

Women, it’s time. Lift our tribe up.  We’re connected, all of us, like those paper dolls we used to cut out, the ones with hands touching.  What you say to one, you say to us all.  Don’t be so quick to criticize.  Don’t be so fast to slap one of our own against the bathroom wall.   Don’t poison our tribe to be cool, to be loved, to be bigger.   Be a woman who lifts us up and doesn’t shred us down.

I am woman; hear me roar for other women.  I am smart. I am beautiful. I am the shared heart of us all.  Women are my tribe.  They are my midwives.  They are my doctors.  They are my teachers and scientists.  They are my comedians and my mentors. They are soft arms holding me, fierce legs guiding me, sweet words lifting me.   

I am their breasts and they are mine, and we need to nurse each other until we’re all bursting with the knowledge that we are strong and beautiful and more than enough to save this world.  

I am Rehtaeh Parsons. I am Sojourner Truth—“ain’t I a woman!”  I am Marissa Mayer.   I am Dr. Vandana Shiva.  I am J.K. Rowling.  They are my mothers and my sisters and my daughters. I AM and they ARE and you ARE.   We are ONE, and we are a tribe.

And we’re beautiful.

The Poetry Crib: Butterflies













from the Battling Mountains EP written by Soul Pie

Butterflies weight me down
When they should fly away, caught inside this lonely man.
All my might and all my dreams are tied down with a skinny line
If they could only realize who I am.

Close my eyes, or take them back God,
My heart is on the line, and it’s under full attack When it’s all alright,
or if it’s all gone wrong,
We need a gentle woman’s heart
To help us bear what’s going on in the world

[Chorus]
When the patience dies and the tensions rise and the only way to get along is crime
There will be a voice from the depths
Until the soul of the earth comes alive

Camouflage what is real,
If only we could find a way to read between the lines When the war is done,
 when we raise our flag
In victory or praise,
Peace has finally found a place in the world
