Imagination (by Azalea “Az-U-R” Tidwell)

Imagination

Just sitting imagining what could be

and wondering do I really know

what I want it to be

its like I’m lost out at sea

I started walking slowly

enjoying the waves

and now as I plunge deeper

the sway of the waves try

and carry me away

but I just wanted to stay

stay in the shallows

but the deep blue sea is steadily calling me

beckoning me on.

Singing a gentle melody

Calling my name

And I feel the wave of shame

Crashing behind me

As I delve deeper within.

Casting away my perversions

Leveling off my previous sins

And allowing a new day to begin.

But then the seas begin to envelope me,

And gradually like the sand bar builds

I gradually begin to rise and develop

As though it was trying to assist me

With everything that I have gained and professed to be.

Learning things that I never could have thought to believe

enjoying life as I never hoped it to be,

excited to see the sun rise and set

because he’s taught  me

He’s taught me that new days arrive

and nights fall

but in that starry bliss

God’s kisses lie.

Above us in the sky

and with his love

he dwells deep in us

and sows his seed

and helps us grow to lead

finally being capable of loving all indeed.

By just taking his heed

and in time a bountiful harvest we shall reap.

And as long as we try

even if we set down and sigh

he’ll still be on high telling us why.

Why we feel lost.

Why not to stop.

Why we just need to just keep going

and never forget from where we came.

Because evil stems from which we came

and changes with every passing of the moon.

And just like the moon causes the waves in the sea

god causes the good that you see in me

I feel from him.

Life will always cause some people to sway

yet as the sycamore grow

so will your discipline

to remain in place

and let no wind waiver your stance.

And procure a strong staunch stance.

Providing shelter to those in need

and for the visionary limbs upon which to climb

and bearing fruits to provide nourishment

and allowing all to utilize you to your fullest

and you finally finding your innate purpose

to provide for those whom still have lessons to attain.

Because you’ve previously reaped

from other fields now its your time to share

your harvest and continue the cycle to achieve.

Proclamation (by Azalea “Az-U-R” Tidwell)

Azalea “Az-U-R” Tidwell

Proclamation

She stands before you in her own personal divinity
Exposing herself as your sweet lonesome serenity
Promoting her virginity and sanity as her shunning of immorality
But what you should contemplate is the trail of the causality of fate
That she causes
She weaves while standing in her prime
Causing infatuation within your grandeur that you believe is sublime.
Oh it’s only a matter of time before your integrity she’ll deny
And you will only be left with a mere imagination of her divinity.
You’ll try to rearrange your life for closer proximity
And at that point and time it will be futile in your male generality.
Because this being has learned to utilize her provocative capabilities
To lead you astray not just once
But whenever she decides to open the door
To your lower chamber heaping hot coals and fiery brimstone
Causing you to live in sheer dismay.
Wondering pondering where should you go now
Because it seemed like forever you were chasing that prize
And within her hips you were hypnotized.
Until that one day you realized
What’s been occurring?
Happening to you everyday that you wake
She took whatever she could take
And you finally found her dictionary
In which for goodness sake
She redefined morality
And misconstrued the formalities.
She walked the line
Ignoring wholesome Christianity.
Utilizing worldly types of profanity.
Yet you never saw all of her calamities
A deck of cards stacked towards the heavenly.
But yet in all reality it was simply
A leaven fermented loaf of humanity
Promenading in around with whomever would surround.
Simply awaiting the compliments to abound and
Blasting her treasures so that many men can yearn
For her in lustfulness.
While yet they become simple dust crushed and dismayed.
And yet she sits wondering who might get played.
Wondering if they will eventually be laid.
I wonder about my own hidden spaces.
I renew my own personal graces
I never claimed to be sanctified
And Retribution of my divination shall come.
The stakes I layed and graves I’ve layed in are my past
My history speaks for its self
It is what it is
AInt no need to run for shelter
I live my life without strife
Uncaring unadulterated simple Life
Forget the schemas forget the way you believe things should be
You want to try and ruin me
Don’t waste your time
My life may crumble as the walls of Jericho
But trust I’m not just a simple hoe.
I am an Astonishing Zephyr Understanding Reality Az-u-r
A gentle breeze bringing waves of change.
Forget what you were taught
Awaken to what the new day has brought
No Matter what I don’t require you to change
I love me for me and appreciate you Az U R
