A Heart Bright Like the Sun

When I came to this crossroad, I met this lovely young lady.

She had no face and I could only see her soul.

I knelt down beside her and said how is your soul is so radiant?

She said when you center yourself, you enter the state of allowing yourself to see all that is good and evil.

She was the one meant for me and her soul was as bright as the sun.

I took the road to the left and never saw her again.

The next day I came back and there was no light at the crossroad but a black heart.

What is the moral of the story?

This is how I feel.

No one is for certain who you will meet at each crossroad of our lives.

Don't lose a chance to make something out of each crossroad.

Then I picked up that heart put it in the pocket on my sleeve and wore it there for all the world to see.

I walked across a tiny wooden bridge where I met a man with no soul just a mangled face.

We spoke about the people on this road.

We talked till sunset.

He said I can give you what you need.

He wanted to buy a page of my story in exchange that he would revive her.

He goes on, give me your hearts and I will make you one.

I gave the gnarled-faced man, our hearts to be intertwined.

He pushed them together, fusing them in a great ball of light that escaped with colors the likes that the world has ne'r seen before.

Hope was born.

She never came back but I had a newfound appreciation for love.

Love is not always going to be handed to us, it's never easy, can't be bought, and always comes with a price.

I wanted to find love but the mangled-faced man gave me hope.

It is so strange what the darkness brings and how it brings out the light in places where you would never see it.

Spirit filled vs religious vs spiritual

What is the difference between being religious, spiritual and spirit filled? Webster's dictionary says that being religious  is "relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity". Webster's dictionary says that being spiritual is "of, relating to, consisting of, or affecting the spirit or  concerned with religious values". According to the Collins English dictionary being spirit filled or the charismatic movement is this, " Christianity  any of various groups, within existing denominations, that emphasize communal prayer and the charismatic gifts of speaking in tongues, healing, etc". Here's my take on this, Jay Z said on  Watch the Throne, "You ain't gotta go to church to get to know yo' God" raps on the song Threat that he's killing people but it's a valid statement. I loved church, I guess but when life experiences change us as an young adult as in my bipolar manifestin...

The Lil' Pisser That Grew Two Stories

"I absolutely love how dumbed down society has become complaining about fairytales and comic book characters... The Brothers Grim wrote gruesome stories to scare children into doing good not feel all warm and fuzzy, that's the parents damn job... When I get a puppy I don't read him stories about Clifford the Big Red Dog to inspire him to grow up to be the size of a two story house. No I teach that stupid lil pisser that it's wrong to pee in the house then I give it chocolate after, so it knows it did a good job peeing on the pee pad on the patio... I'm just saying, I have some really great friends who are great parents, I hope... and I know some of you really do an amazing job. I'm just going to go out on a limb, because I don't work for them but... Disney messed this up for everyone..." I wrote this on Facebook... Because a friend's notification came to me after I got a little bit sassy from watching a comedy special... And boom! In the adv...

Music my lover!

I love music and it was used to hurt me. Music is my friend, I've always looked to it for motivation, ways to open my heart to new ideas and heal the pain. Music is my lover, my mother that draws me into the eternal planes of her bosom. I've never broken up with someone with music but it happened to me. While I am hurt by it, Music can never be ripped from my soul. I'll say it Music, you betrayed me, I share you with so many and you walk away from me. You say, Joshua, are you okay? I'll never leave music, my soul is clothed and tied to my heart that beats like a steel drum on Kingston's streets. It's fuel, she's a fire that allows me to be creative. Just as I paint my soul onto a canvas, I pour my heart out in words... words that can inspire love or evoke hate. I've never wanted to make anyone hate anyone or me for that matter. Love is what I have to give to the world, it comes out through all the pain or self inflicted torture. I won't walk away ...
