A Blues for.... , 2015

Say baby, can I be your king?

Can I be the only man that makes your frown turn upside down, can I place my hand your thigh and see you bite your bottom lip, can I be the moon brightening your dark lonely nights, let me lips play a sound of melodic blues, producing rhythms in the air making your body wine and turn, slow dancing and romancing in the dark night as our bodies never lose touch, kiss me deep and feel my inner soul touch yours, be my queen, open me up to your Queendom and allow me to enjoy the many secrets and hidden treasures kept from everyone before me, make me worthy to one day bow on one knee, Queens deserve Kings, and this King wants you as his Queen

Actions louder than Words, 2015

We are firm believers of actions speak louder than words, actions should be so loud that words are never needed to spoken, that validation from one’s lips is never sought but only an addition to what is already being shown, do so much that are drowning knee deep in your love, that your love has soaked their every piece of clothing, never expecting a person to know what you feel for them, but always go high and beyond for them to see what you feel for them, so tomorrow is a new day, it’s a moment that can begin with a grand gesture of love, near or far, but allow the words you speak to only be a bonus to the love shown, but not the primary display of it, a person’s eyes seek actions and their ears seek words, feed both and your will never decrease but flourish and blossom many beautiful things, more actions and just enough words

If you truly love someone, stop telling them, completely stop for just a few days and go out your way to show them, not making everything from a monetary aspect either, a loving letter sent via text, a selfie with a beautiful caption, or even a phone call hoping it went to voicemail so you could leave a loving message, the little things that can make a persons’ day crumble into a sun flower, the words ” I love you, ” haven’t lost their power but of the recent times, actions speak louder than words, so If you’ve lived your relationship in fear of doing something new, going out your way for your new found love, or even making excuses from your past, I suggest you stop now, because there is no excuse to not show someone you love how much you love them, because the person on the other end of the relationship may feel unappreciated, uncared for, and possibly taken for granted, they continually jump over mountains, only expecting that maybe tomorrow will be different, maybe you’ll finally come around, but for how long do you plan on making them wait?, so today I only suggest to you, no more excuses, take those risk, and do crazy things people in love do, or else you might lose the one person who truly loves you

SHADE:

For years my heart ached; I was sore from the pain others had brought into my heart.. I started to lose belief and faith, there was no hope left.. I would be alone forever is what I told myself.. I couldn’t endure the pain love had brought again so I swore off of love and closed the door; love was no longer welcomed in my heart.. You tried, you put in all the effort and remained persistent but I turned you down each and every time; I turned you away but still yet you stayed.. I started to feel again but fear wouldn’t let me show it.. When it seemed like you were giving up I couldn’t bear it.. The thought of losing you drove me insane, the thought of you not texting me each morning made me realize I not only wanted you but that I needed you.. My heart was melting although I tried to avoid it I couldn’t; I was falling, I was falling in love and it felt good.. My sore heart felt whole again.. You made your way into a heart that swore off of love.. Maybe I wouldn’t be alone after all..

KOPONG:

Finally understanding why you cherish me so much, the pain you endured from your past has continued to haunt and repeat itself, those that promised you love never measured up to its true meaning, but for some odd reason you believed in me, you told yourself that no matter how bad the past was, you would give me a try, maybe for the last time but you felt it was worth the jump, you always made sure I felt loved and cared for, placing me at the top of your list, nights never went by without a soft kiss goodnight on the lips, we argued rarely, more times of enjoyment and excitement were made, and the day you finally allowed me in your heart, had to be a day more enjoying than Christmas as a child, no materialistic gifts could match this amazing one, so believe me, I am honored to have your love and I just want you to know, I love you just as much if not more

LOVE, 2015

LOVE should be able to with hold any damage, trample any monster, return to its enjoying moments after the storm blows over, but your LOVE should be strong and powerful, among only you two, never allowing outsiders in, standing tall as one, your LOVE is suppose to be your escape from life when times get rough, replacing nights out with friends, because you would rather bathe and lay down in LOVE, If you’re in love and this isn’t what your LOVE is, take the necessary steps to get it there, practice communication, understanding, and growth, remember you both are flawed, and will show a horrible part of yourselves every now and then, but it is up to them to help you better yourself, LOVE is empowering and educating, let LOVE lead you into a beautiful place, just you two

EARTH, 2015

She was the earth, like everything in it and nothing out of it, she held all the beautiful moments of the summer, and could be as cold as the Chicago winters, but when she cooled down, she was like the spring, raining tears and emotional, but I never frowned upon her different characteristics, because like life, nothing is one way, shit gets tough and then the timeless memories arrive, nights filled with tugs of the blunt and cups of straight Hennessy no chaser, she was Art in ways she couldn't even understand, so like the earth, she stood alone as the coldest planet, though the universe had other beautiful planets, she was the only that caught my attention, scientist couldn't explain her greatness, nor could religious leaders describe her, so I kept her close, kept her a secret, and kept her elevated and motivated, because she was the earth, and no one could tell her shit

LATE NIGHTS IN PARADISE, 2015

Take moment and just sit back, or possibly stand up, whichever works better for you, but find your sense of peace and open your mind, this isn't any type of Art, but Art of a new generation, Andy Warhol... Basquiat... Keith Haring led the way, then they passed the torch to King Rello, he made them proud, presenting to the people something timeless, putting our minds in places even puffs of Kush couldn't, displaying simple things in abstract ways, Late Nights in Paradise,  a place where cups of Hennessy aren't 10dollars but rather complimentary, a place where the beauty of breast aren't given a negative connotation, a place where the sun isn't need because the moon is bright enough, a place where King Rello allows us for once to see through his creative genius, and a place where you'll forever regret life if you don't visit

*Dedicated to Terrell Rello Jones & Late Nights in Paradise

Search for that part of yourself that's not scared to take risk, talk to that person within that is ready to experience the most spontaneous things, that individual that finds joy in the little and big things, remembering life is about adding more stories to the book, having things to teach our great great grand kids yet to come, even if the moments aren't as you planned it to be, they are moments nonetheless to add to the experiences, so have faith, be hopeful and just JUMP

SUNFLOWER, 2015

I kept waiting for her to come around, she told me I played too many games and didn't show her that I truly wanted her, but rather she was looking for the wrong things as a sign of my attraction, pointless outings when we could have just spent moments being a muse to each others art, I wanted her to be my sunflower, the type of flower that wasn't over hyped like roses, the type of flower that held a glow no matter the climate change, and the type of flower I would cherish close to me
