This angel of mine...
Was sent from heaven up above
To bring me the greatest gift – Love
Maybe I’m psychic or juss brilliant but I knew right away
That I’d wanna b witchu every day
Not caring wat anyone has to say
I no longer merely look into ur eyes
I see into ur soul and behold the sun rise
And I could never fuck you cuz I loved u
The moment u kissed my lips
I just kept it to myself in case u’d think im ridiculous
But look at us now!
I’ve got u & u’ve got me
So fuck the world
I’ll give u me freely
And every time we get it on
We break dawn

ok its true, i'm obsessed with you
everything about you sticks to me like superglue
the way u move, the way u walk, the way ur lips move
when you talk i could stare and forget the world is there
and don't get me started on that long sexy hair
we've shared so many twilights cuz u keep me up all nite
but just one kiss and u make all my wrongs right
i tried to fight but it was luv at first sight
i need you here, right next to me, so i can feel normal
cuz when we aren't together, my mind is cloudy like bad weather
wondering when i will see you again, wondering when we can be together
and i don't need much just ur touch
satiates me, this isn't like me
to be this ... easy
to please
so please, tell me
that you feel even a fraction the way i do.

First, Love
There's nothing like your 1st love
something every poet should write of
There's nothing that'll ever compare
to the very 1st time I ran my fingers thru your hair
So, let me reminisce...
I remember the first time I laid eyes on you
I wanted to lay my soul on you
while we gazed up at the blue
sky could be fallin' down but long as you were around
nothing mattered but ur gentle hand intwined with mine
time? no, just moments sublime...
I remember the day I sat in the back seat
and stared at u in the rearview
the entire ride
I glanced away when u looked back, I shied
because inside my emotions were at high tide
up until then I'd only felt lust and smug
and love? well,
let's just say it intoxicated me like a designer drug
U were my 1st love, like santos
U were sent from heaven above
thank heaven I wasn't deprived of
and I know I couldn't stop trynna dick u down
but I was young and that's how I expressd being sprung
but if push came to shove, I woulda settled for a bear hug
but there was nothing like layin' u down on the shag rug
givin that hair a tug and overfilling ur mug
with this hot cafe au lait
okay okay, I'm being naughty
but damn how I adored each time I explored your body
mind AND soul
with every moment more love would grow
and together we'd glow
U see, I will never forget my 1st love
u were experienced, I was naive
but you made a brother believe!
and that feeling will never leave
like Adam's love for his Eve
Like a fantasy romantics dream of
u never forget ur first love
the pieces fit like a suede glove
and til this very day
U r still someone I think of.

Dusted Off
Do not adjust your television set.
The film is black and white, and the quality is a bit grainy. It's instantly clear this is a clip from one of those TV variety shows from another time, the type that sadly declined along with the attention spans of millions who once made them a staple of prime-time viewing. A figure appears in the spotlight, casting a dramatic shadow.
"When I said...I needed you..."
To say she commands the stage is an understatement. The dramatic arm gestures- either reaching forward in desperation, or being defiantly thrown back with each declaration of despair- constantly threaten to upstage the voice, but never do. The song progresses toward a sweeping modulation. She clutches her chest as she pleads once again with her wayward lover, "you don't have to say you love me". And after taking the audience on one of the most harrowing emotional roller-coaster rides pop music has ever produced, she bows graciously. And the moment fades to black...
I have not mentioned the voice. It's unlike any I've heard before. It's a sturdy, reedy-type instrument, remarkably capable of being both heartily robust and tremendously fragile at the same time. Yet what she has revealed in this moment is only a glimpse of what that voice was actually capable of, the intensity of the joy and sorrow it so deftly could convey. This voice would cross genres, generations and musical tastes. It would change with time and tribulation, but it would ultimately never lose the intangible quality that makes it so mesmerizing in this brief, grainy, black and white moment.
Her name is Dusty Springfield.
It was her precise ear, and that unrelenting desire to produce great music that produced some of modern history’s greatest pop symphonies- and in a decade crowded with them. The opening bars of “I Only Want to Be With You”- her first hit and still one of her best loved- heralded not only the arrival of a new era, but of a voice that would storm through radios and across the landscape of the tumultuous 1960’s culture. Her first album, titled simply A Girl Called Dusty, succinctly heralded for audiences the force that had been unleashed. It also subtlety hinted at the complexities that simmered just below the surface. But a force in Pop Music was born, and for the first five years of her solo career, the titles jump out in such quick succession, it’s a mere mortal’s forgivable sin to overlook more than one or two. There were so many classics. Hits on both sides of the pond. And so many hidden treasures.
It’s the most horrible of ironies that during a period of true revelation of her strengths as an artist, her commercial fortunes would decline. Perhaps it was inevitable. The 1970’s were the decade of the singer/songwriter, where puffed-with-pride critics would dismiss the luminous adventures of a vocal interpreter as fluff. Utter nonsense in retrospect. It’s just a shame that critics chose to adjust their posturing decades later, and welcome deserving pieces of art as A Brand New Me and Cameo as the superior slices of mastery that they were. In their time, they were appallingly neglected.
Some may argue that she shortchanged herself as a person, being lost in (as the mesmerizing “Soft Core”, the closing track of White Heat puts it) a maze “of drugs and alibis”. Discussion of her activities and of her sexuality seems to permeate this period. Another injustice. It’s pointless to over-analyze, and simply wrong to judge. Perhaps it’s at this juncture where Mary O’Brien and Dusty Springfield, in the darkest of days, bumped into each other.
Fortunately, Dusty Springfield’s life and career were not to remain tied ominously to tragedy or failure. In the early months of 1988, radios around the world carried that unmistakable voice again. The Pet Shop Boys provided Dusty with what she so deserved, a vehicle to exhibit that voice to its best advantage. That moment remains crystallized in pop history:
“…Since you went away, I’ve been hanging around…I’ve been wondering why, I’m feeling down. You went away, it should make me feel better. But I don’t know…”
Dusty Springfield was back.
I wonder if Dusty was aware that she had been a prophet of the new female vocalist in popular music. That she became a revolutionary figure to so many men and women searching for their own sexual freedom. That the voice- that same sturdy, reedy-like instrument that blazed against some of the most magical music ever created, will continue to be heard, and studied, and appreciated…long after we have all completed our time in this world.
Maybe she would’ve been amused. Perhaps she wouldn’t have noticed.
After all, underneath all the physical detail, the makeup and hair, and behind that unforgettable voice, she was, after all, just a girl…a girl called Dusty…

Markus has been my friend, colleague and confidant for almost eighteen years, introducing me to genre's of art, music and film I would've otherwise overlooked. Together we co-wrote "Tru Love", a track featured on my demo which gained airplay and spawned the interest of both Jive and Motown Records. I look forward to posting more of his work here soon.

TakeMeAway
take me away from all this death
i have no strength to thank every breath
take me away from all this pain
it beats down on my spirit like acid rain
take me away from wolves disguised as friends
who take and take
and take from me with no end
take me away from my thirsts
take me away from my thirsts
that never get quenched
sometimes i feel so dead i can smell
sometimes i feel so dead i can smell
my own stench
take me away from the memories
take me away from the memories
that haunt me
from the nightmares that terrorize me
from the fears that paralyze me
butbefore you take me anywhere
take me away
from myself.

American Screams
i am not
the man i imagined i would be
i'm aversion of me i never wanted to see
the seeds i planted.. the paradise i envisioned
never came to fruition
the mission:
failed
the promises:
bailed
heaven turned into hell
my bright light is now a shell
i was sooo high...
i died slowly as i fell
short of my american dreams
now i awake from nightmares in screams
pseudo smiles stop me from bursting at the seams
i could cry a river
and deliver my pain like a drought begs for rain
im slowly
slowly
going
in

4:Rotating:Hips
ur reflection in my erection
lost in contemplation of unprotected
animalistic penetration
untamed ejaculation: beyond expectation
upon the futon
we migrate into satiation
full arousal upon culmination
of sweet sweat gold slager saliva
pouring down from above: liquid love
panting and ranting (yes)
moaning then groaning (mmhhmmn)
drunk with lust (yes...)
scent of tantric sex replaces the aroma of incense
smoothly move
bumping and grinding
slipping into sliding
standing, riding
passion fruit lips
electric finger tips ...languid savoring sips
moist warmthness to no end!
we EXPLODE. exhausted.
yet READY
to do it
again

My Godfather taught me
that men don't cry
it's feminine, weak, pathetic
I remember that day like yesterday
my grandparents, who were my parents, were fighting
my rapacity for them to not hurt eachother
expressed itself in tears
my uncle looked straight into my eyes
and with a dominant, masculine, disgusted voice
he condescendingly commanded:
Hassan! STOP crying!

GROWING UP I didn't have male role models to model myself after. Most ridiculed me for being unique, rather than embracing me or taking me under their wing. My father always played a role in my life but it was my grandfather, Nathaniel Souto, who took on the full responsibility. He was a "man's man" and the definition of a man from the 1960's; strong, stoic, resilient, protective, an earner and provider. He never had to beg, borrow or steal. He was a man of few words but when those few words were spoken you listened. My grandfather is the real reason I went to college and devoted my life to educating myself, making a name for myself, continuously challenging myself and never allowing anyone to run my life or make my decisions. I remember being young and comparing other fathers to him. They failed in comparison. One need only visit the formidible 3 Morgan Terrace to witness his beautiful house, healthy well-cared for children and his wife, the most beautiful woman to walk the face of the earth, my grandmother, Mary Souto. In my eyes he had everything.. everything worth having. I've spent my life trying to achieve something similiar to what he achieved. I thank him for inspiring me. And today, I still thank him.. For reminding me that I've still got a long way to go.
My GrandParents.. 2gether 4ever..

"U are my drug! And I refuse to go to rehab!"
VICODEN
Jesus Christ I need u
to know u, grow with u, to show u
all the immaculate bright
concealed light has in store for us
this mid-summer twilight
i want us to vent then get deliciously decadent
ur blessing is surely heavensent!
...so why repent?
u could be my cure, my guiltiest pleasure
for sure...
for surely its the calmest ocean
resting in ur hungry eyes
maybe its my unyielding yearning for ur
pink plump lips on my pulsating paradise
u make my sunrise, u make me ...rise
only Jehovah can smother my cries
Life is packed with panic & lies
2gether we can vaporize! G-D
damn! I hunger for ur kiss!
just the fantasy imbues me with blessed bliss
u could be my favorite dish
I'm too impatient to wait
for fate to let our souls mate
I've been here forever, where've u been?
join me in euphoria
Like vicoden
I don't believe in
sin!
I said, I do not believe in
sin!
this circle will never ever
ceasetospin
the ecstasy begins beneath the velvet
then works its way within illuminating our skin
till the spaces between our face's thin
surely! u could be my heaven?
surely! u could replace my vicoden?
take me there... I wanna go
take me away... I need to know
take me there.. it's time...
to go.

I n c e s s a n t l y
IN THE ABSENCE
of romance feeling & passion
my love for you thrives incessantly
it's a never ending fire of desire
as well as a bottomless sea of ethereal ecstasy
our bodies don't mate
our souls do!
I feel like you're my destiny
in your eyes.. my future
in your soul.. my home
7 seconds after we part
I miss/yearn/crave you so bad it hurts
my love for you t r a n s c e n d s
time space & all cognitive boundaries
You are my sunlight and my moonlight too
of everything I've ever fantasized
I've found even more in you
Sweet lullabies, spontaneous thoughts,
inegmatical affection
I'm beyond obsession and infatuation
In the absense of romance feeling and passion, even intimacy
my love for you thrives
incessantly.

Cabo Verde
Pictures of The Cape Verde Islands from my friend's recent trip there.. Jealous I couldn't make it to the land my great grandmother left in 1908 for the United States... one day...
FYI: Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) is 10 volcanic islands 500 miles off the west coast of Africa. Inhabitated by approximately 500 thousand beautiful souls.. we obtained our independece from Portugal on July 5,1975 (thankyajesus!)
::brown::as::dirt::
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
And Jehovah formed man from the dirt of the ground, and blew into
his nostrils the berath of life; and man became a living soul
brown is my skin
and it won't wash away
no matter how hard you scrub
open your eyes! unlock your mind!
I witnessed the conception of time
dark brown skin
darker than the warmest night
on the coast of Brava in Cabo Verde
serenading a ballad of soul
loudest you've ever heard!
this brown skin is the "fire" in Fogo
the "wild" in Brava
the "salt" in Sal
and the "good view" in Boa Vista
brown skin
reflecting my nine lives
my
nine moods
my
ten islands
separtated by the north Atlantic ocean
United
by our different shades of brown
brown skin!
brown as dirty ground
beneath your foot steps
dark as the dust that rises with each step
brown as it was
in the beginning of time
when GOD reached down his divine hand
and composed: MAN

Breaking Dawn
I was so wrong
to treat you like we don't belong
I'm not so strong.. when we don't get along
Foolish pride kept me from crying
A cocky smile outside
I'm not so strong.. when we don't get along
Foolish pride kept me from crying
A cocky smile outside
while inside I'm slowly dying
I'd rather be "the man" than
I'd rather be "the man" than
give you the upper hand
but now I watch time blow away like sand
No one can know me like you know me
How can anyone see the side you showed me?
You don't know what you've got till its gone
and I realize it now all nite..
but now I watch time blow away like sand
No one can know me like you know me
How can anyone see the side you showed me?
You don't know what you've got till its gone
and I realize it now all nite..
until the break of dawn

I CHASED MY HEART UNTIL LIFE IMITATED ART
To paint the mundane grind
Into something vivid for my anguished mind
If I could mend the universe
and the essence of time
I would erase your dis ease
And set ur body, mind and soul
In perpetual peace
And you would challenge Neptune
Just like you used to…
But I cannot do these things
For I am only a human being
Being in a state of sadness
I can hear the angels weep
They cry so loud
At night
I cannot
Sleep…
Rest In Perpetual Peace Andy.. U were more than a stepfather...

Allow me to introduce myself.
I am the disease of addiction---
Alcoholism - drugs - eating - sex
I am cunning, baffling and powerful.
I am the disease of addiction---
Alcoholism - drugs - eating - sex
I am cunning, baffling and powerful.
That's me!!!!
I have killed millions, and I am pleased.
I love to catch you
I have killed millions, and I am pleased.
I love to catch you
with the element of surprise.
I love pretending I am your friend and lover.
I have given you comforted, have I not?
Wasn't I there when you were lonely?
When you wanted to die, didn't you call me?
Wasn't I always there?
I love it when I make you so numb
you can neither hurt nor cry--
you can't feel anything at all.
This is true Glory.
I give you instant gratification.
I've always been there for you!
When things were going right in your life,
you invited me.
You said you didn't deserve these good things.
I was the only one who would agree with you.
Together we were able to destroy
all things good in your life
all I asked of you was long-term suffering.
People don't take me seriously.
They take strokes seriously,
heart attacks seriously,
even diabetes they take seriously.
Fools that they are, they don't know
that without my help these things
would not be made possible.
I am such a hated disease,
and yet I do not come uninvited.
You choose to have me!
So many have chosen me over
reality, peace and serenity.
You don't see me, but I am growing bigger than ever.
When you allow me to control you,
I LIVE.
When you live
I CAN'T.
But I am here.... and until we meet again,
If we meet again - - - -
I WISH YOU DEATH AND SUFFERING.
I love pretending I am your friend and lover.

I was happy to find my poem "SoulKiss" featured on a popular poetry site.. I was irate to see that the webdesigner decided to promote himself as the author. I was more than happy to firmly inform him that I hold the copyright and gave him twenty four hours to make the change or delete it entirely... or face my rath. He decided to keep the poem and give credit to its true author.. Me. So, please enjoy SoulKiss:
SoulKiss
...A passionate kiss that provokes a blush when one attempts to tame the rush of two lovers locked in the exotic bliss of a sweet sensual soul kiss...
The moment our lips met I learned
that there is more to Love than making love
Your kiss is as natural as a river returning home to the sea...
Sweet & intoxicating like wine
yet agonizing, because your heart is not mine
I'm cool, I'm sexy
but I will never know love
until you make it with me
I imagine making love to you
is like swimming in an aqua sea of erotic bliss
as our bodies mix like Tropicana as we soul kiss
I don't want your caress!
unless there's emotion behind it,
you don't have to say "I Love You"
to prove you do !
instead, place your soul against mine
with all your heart
Take your soul and kiss, why resist?
I can't describe this vibe, but its vital to me, like tears to pain
so blast "Rush Rush" and shall we slowdance naked?
In the purple rain?
The closer I get to you
the more I feel at home
no more do I stand in crowded rooms
feeling so alone
I've had many lovers, but no others made me feel
the way you make me feel,
that's how I know your kiss has soul and its for real...
As we indulge in this vicarious pleasure I vow to follow the Kama Sutra
so you'll never crave another lover & it all starts with this...
a soul
& a kiss...

Nothing takes the past away.. Like the future! This weekend was the beginning of a new chapter in my life and my creative juices are already bursting.. so stay tuned! I eased my mind of my tribulations by spending the day in Boston with people who reminded me who I am. Between stops at the infamous Cheers and Starbucks, I took this picture of a monument dedicated to the legendary Paul Revere who was glorified after his death for his role as a messenger in the battles of Lexington and Concord, his name and his "midnight ride" are well-known in the United States as a patriotic symbol. In his lifetime, Revere was a prosperous and prominent Boston craftsman, who helped organize an intelligence and alarm system to keep watch on the British military.

Colorblind
...look into my eyes and tell me what u see...
When u look into my eyes, who do u see?
If u can't see beyond the horizon
U'll never fathom the mysteries of the universe, or me
People too often ask: Are u Black? Latino?
Middle Eastern? What are u?
(as if being myself is not enough)
So I tell them:
I AM the personification
of God's greatest creation
Hand-crafted, in His image and likness..
just like U
Cuz if ur human and I'm human
How come we can't comprehend
the petty differences upon which we depend
to avoid a peson who could've been
another friend?
When's this shit gonna end...
Its no wonder we can't move forward
Its no wonder we can't move forward
with all this baggage we're draggin'
I mean, we should never forget
where we've been
but when will we begin
to see beyond the hue of skin?
What is race?
What are we running to?
or from...
let's reserve the competition for track & field
let's clench our fists for human power
instead of segregated power
U can rationalize with ur heart..
not just ur mind
it's a privilege to see
but a gift to be
Colorblind.

You love me
You love me so much
You love me
You love me more than yourself
You love me
You love me more than any thing
You love me
You love loving me
You love me
You love me more than I love me
You love me
You love me more
You love me
So much that I can't leave the door.

butterscotch liquid eyes
I gaze into you
instantly hypnotized
who am I to scrutinize?
intoxicated with explicit fantasies
of you suckin' me
unabashedly naked & freakishly free
you read my mind...
bringing your perfect plump lips closer to mine
your breath's scent is so sweet
I brush my nervous fingers across your cheek
your skin.. so cool
your skin.. so smooth
I can barely breath, I can barely move
you bypass my eager lips for my neck
aha, I close my eyes, you have found my weakness-
I open my eyes:
To immortality.
Suffer Ring
This sting..
this suffer ring
aching for it to melt away
and take me with it
life's not beauty full anymore, anyway
How could I lose my faith?
how do I bereave the death of my savior?
your adorable smile
your flirtatious ways
the lust-filled nights & days
How do I move on when there's no where to go?
you left me naked in the snow
now I know
I'll be alone
For ever
How come we can't be together?
While in side you
I vowed to offer you happiness
But I guess you weren't convinced
You finished it before it started
now what do I do with the memories we made?
the sentiments we shared?
the truths we bared?
only thing I had to look forward to
was you!
now what the fuck do I do?
I've never felt so… empty
and its killing me to see
you're back in that motherfucker's arms instead of mine!
I thought he was a disgrace?
I was here to take his place
and shower you with affectionate
kisses on your stunning face
Don't be surprised
If you never see me again
I can't be your friend!
I saw my future in your seductive eyes
When this world was hideous
You made everyday a pulsating paradise
I asked for nothing …except your hand
Now I'm br oken
like an expired token
I collect dust
snub lust
waiting for the day
when I may
make love again
waiting for a day
to convince myself hope is here to stay
Waiting for a day
That just may
Never
Come.

GOD/SEX
May my soft voice rest in the nest of your ear drum, humming a hymn, lulling you into serene sleep where erotic dreams creep, I gently kiss your forehead, you slowly close your eyes, You just may have to sacrifice
to inherit paradise…
Ignite the wick/ gonna lick/ till we stick/ before I bless you/ with a thick/ diction/ longing to be unleashed/ released/ reading your palms/ with my palms/ all over your satin skin/ pulsating within/ why is it a sin to love/ G0D & SEX/ who do you think invented ecstasy/ when you’re next to me/ time stands still/ as our souls kiss/ metaphysical bliss/ never mind 3/ I need but one/ wish/ you might, wish you may, use your body to say/ I Love You/ like leaves love trees/ gonna hella/ fuck/ your mind/ while holding back the hands of time/ passion climbs/ ethereal chimes/ our bodies rhyme/ a bohemian brother of few words/ many actions/ equate fractions/ with sexual contractions/ beneath the velvet/ slippery when wet/ love to swim/ hittin skins/ working hips with a samba beat/ yea… I hate doin’ dishes/ but I love to eat/ with your feet/ pointed toward heaven/ just when/ you moaned my Arabic name/ a lethal thrust came/ liquid candy rain/ extinguishing desires burning flame/ 3 shots of mental jism/ sensual wisdom/ magical rod/ in the crevice of a moment/ 2 become 1/ we end with an Amen/ now we’re both closer/ to heaven/
