Generations (to and from)

my dear, who told you that it was wrong to love the skin that covers your bones. who told you it was wrong to love with a heart open, a mouth quick, hands strong, and feet steady? who told you that it was wrong to yearn for someone fill the cracks in you that the world so easily gave you—who told you it was even worse to seal your own cracks and heal your own bruises? who told you that your love was wrong, that people can’t love each other both regardless and because of their twisted hearts and battered minds? my darling, who told you that fighting yourself for your existence not normal? who told you that the only battles worth

Love by Intoxication by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Love by Intoxication

trembling words, falling from mouths desperate to drink the essence of life— aching to feel the scorching elixir slide down their throat and coat the linings of their stomachs, implosive embalming… desperate to drink the essence of life— traveling from the heart outwards, leaving organs blackened in its wake and muscles torn and tissues stretched as escapes fall into vanity (beauty sacrificed by juxtaposed phrases)… traveling from the heart outwards, leaving words unspoken and emotions left bare, experiencing a paltry happiness and slighted love—we luxuriate in a false sensation: joy and intrigue and hope, li

Stubs of a Cigarette by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Stubs of a Cigarette

opaque tendrils whispering— vaporous poison clogging airways choked by outlawed sentiments slogging through azure veins fleeing a traitorous organ; thrumming [ming] [ming] to a hidden metronome— winding haze stimulating snippets of simpering emotions conspiring the ultimate coup d’état; the metronome staggers …an illuminated stub weaving maleficent murmurings and swirling stuttering sidebars; the metronome forfeits, refusing to save a cluttered organ cigarette stubs..ignited at single ends; convalescer of stress, debt caller of life.

The Music We Make by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

The Music We Make

I feel your heart Beating softly with mine A pure harmony Burrowing deep inside Crescendos and allegros— intertwining mirrors of our actions, your baritone echoing my alto, our hearts the metronome to the rhythms of our voices lifted raised in the wordless music of our song. Though I don’t know the words I merely sing the melody letting the beating of our hearts slowly lead me to the words waiting inside The cavernous organ where words coalesce and convalesce, unearthing phrases yet unspoken and thoughts undisclosed…our song—my song and your song, two favorites written and recorded as night stretches unending And

Freedom in Introspection by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Freedom in Introspection

music—overwhelmed with passion thrumming through veins loaded with life’s elixir, heart pumping tha-thump-tha-thump within a torso pleading for release from earthly confines such as the pain of love and killed dreams dreamed in the moonlight’s glow and under starlit ceilings…whirring thoughts click—click—click—click pen tops prey to nervous habits born of a too busy brain…voices cavorting through the air, slipping into eager ears from headphones small and ineffectual yet loved all the same, mimicking sounds of eons long and gone past…

Abrupt Circumstance by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Abrupt Circumstance

elastic scars, seeming to disappear under the tightening muscles we call life…clenching tight, futile attempts to seal weeping wounds—silver thread bound my heart to yours; inaudible whispers in the dead of night harsh amongst silences spawned in the wake of lanky love, too strong for souls waiting in pubescence…elastic fractures, all strength gone, lying with a limp stillness belying the scarred tissue beneath swollen bruises magicked away by the heart’s desire…unexpected…convalescence through temporary sutures—silver threads trimmed to the point of disconnection bestow sickened limbs the gift o

Imbittered Exhales by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Imbittered Exhales

breath fails me as the urban smog stalls every inhale and infects every exhale tinged with the bitter tang of self-righteousness, ill-found and ill-deserved positions of high office, they are your senators… corruption vilifies those in vaulted seats, mocks of those stuck in the threshold of the American middle class, and punishes those trapped within poverty’s clutch; they promise good fortune and no problems—lies spread throughout every crevice of every town of every state steal my breath—I cannot breathe through the self-serving stench of hypocrisy

Evanescent Inhalations by LightOverpowers58, literature

Celestial Memories by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Celestial Memories

trust flees from the Earth, dodging the pale moon and arcing over gaseous planets, setting out to escape this galaxy…searching for binary stars to settle upon, twin infernus spheres interlocked with each other’s life… Greeks believed the Sun revolved around we[aklings], shoddy excuses for forms of life…knowledgeable of the world yet ignorant of themselves (and others)…forsaken intelligence lost amidst bleeding hearts and decaying cerebral cortices—trapped in pyramidal waves where the sun hid between bleached stones, shifting sands framing golden rays—beauty lost in the span of a millennium nev

Pride of a Nation by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Pride of a Nation

fear coalesced with doubt, crystallizing in the pit of her stomach—intestines rotting with hatred, she prayed as the men passed by, eyes tightened against winter winds while drums beat to a somber march…her heart dropped, cerulean blood pooling around the soles of her feet, hidden from the oxygen filled air none of them could help but breathe as the torches’ fire filled the sky and knapsacks overran with precious goods…flee the city, they all did, with the pride of Russia behind them, their homes lay as ashes and towns known only by their wooden signs…snow shrouded the land and covered the people born in a wi

Snowflakes by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

Snowflakes

fluttering to the ground, lost within millions of brethren yet unique in their own way…melting on the tip of your tongue little cold dots erasing acidic burns from pink flesh, remnants of flaying arguments—words thrown at each other, never meant but always felt…six sides, five, maybe seven…you wonder… How can something so unique…vibrant…worshiped…feel so …forgotten…

A Brood of Anxieties by LightOverpowers58, literature

Literature

A Brood of Anxieties

I. Sweaty palms, slipping and sliding along the greased pole of the number two pencil. Waiting to be scolded by the proctor for the thunderous sound of my delayed exhales disturbing the others, but it seems they remain impossibly oblivious of my self-implosion. Deaf they are also, to the ticking of the clock, the roar of one too many minutes having passed - now heralding the tunnel vision that sets in when I realize the number on the answer sheet doesn't match the one in the booklet ... and then the pistol that fires in my ears: “Put your pencils down, and close your books.” Amazingly, everyone else is able to exit the room, while

A Prayer for the Scar Mapped

i hope you find someone who loves you for your scars. your scars are the battles you fought alone, scared, broken at midnight navigating the map of your lost soul, wearing nothing but threadbare dreams, with demons who would not die, and who could not rest. and still strong, you fought on. i pray you find someone who loves you for your scars your scars will tell the stories your lips cannot. your scars will reveal secrets your heart cannot. your scars will create meaning to the little things you do. so find someone who loves you for your scars. this is all that I can pray for, for you and for you, and for you...

Spoken Word and Hip-Hop

0 min read

Speech rules our daily  interactions: from the job we hold to the friends we cherish and who we respect and follow. Most of the time, we fail to realize the total impact that words have on our psyche, personality, and poise. Instead, people tend to gravitate towards those who speak like them, whether that criteria is based on vocabulary, accent, and/or individual tones and overtures. Spoken word and hip-hop arguably stand as the two primary forces of the power of speech. Countless examples exist that showcase the influence the two concepts have on both moral actions and human accountability. The duo inspire countless thousands to speak up an
