Aspirations by Jose A. Vadi I wanna let my music soar above the trees, Filling me with bliss and suburban tranquility, I want my artwork to shine where the sun is banished, Where shadows creep and emotions are famished, I want to live my life at the beat of a drum, To signify a revolution bred within the young, I want to glorify the streams and the trout, And create choruses where even presidential figures can shout, I want to exist in limitless pastures with my eyes always on the prize, Where freedom is caressed by the tears in my eyes, I want sounds to always be fluent within the kids, Because without them our souls become muffled dims, I want to live a life that HAS life, I want to progress within myself with no external strife, Because I know that "I's" are meaningless compared to "You's", Companionship follows even though I sing the blues, I want to live in staccato patterns, With rim shots bursting from this page after, I want to stab these trees for providing me pages of reticent desires, With words emitting from the wrists of teenage voyeuristic fires, I want to lie in tombs of rumba-percussion coffins, Where death is merely a chance to meet my heroes, I want these poems to act as arms, Reaching out to YOU while leaving this room creatively scared, Making your head bounce bar by each bar, I wanna stay focused without coward introductions, Living life with my culture exempt from any assumptions, Because I want these eyes to see more than this page, I want to live life - Day by fluent day. |
