Come see me live on IG this Thursday. I have a story to tell.
Bee mindful… there’s sooo many bees in my backyard. They always remind me that there’s work to be done. If you’re a nature lover and or looking for ways to be mindful during this time. I’ll be sharing lots of my perspective and full sets and videos of my hikes etc. on my Patreon. Join only if you can. Much love 🖤
A story about a little birdie that told me to go look outside at the sun. #byejohn
Annual event where some of the dopest poets and singers come together to battle it out with their best sex and love pieces… there will be a live band, food, drinks and much more! You do not want to miss it!
I took this picture then I wrote a poem:
No strings attached, I’m an aquatic plant who’s roots free float across the ocean like bottles with messages inside them…
(I’m him)
I dream of freedom
Threesomes
People who think for themselves
Open minds to further open mines
And a love so unconditional my fuck ups look perfect…
(I’m perfect)
When you don’t compare me to any man.
I’m not any man
And… A flaw is only something you saw in someone else that I lack
(See me)
See black
See king
See things you’ve never seen in this light
Or this life
See right…
through me if you so choose to…
Like no windows
No buildings
No walls are there to tell you I exist.
See an infinite amount of space open enough for you to be yourself without ever questioning the shit…
(I Just live)
On my own terms
Less thoughts about others thoughts about my decisions
That’s none of my business
I can’t put my happiness in the balance of temporary friendships
(I’m dying)
In good health for now so there’s time to love more people
Do what feels right
And accept that I might get it wrong sometimes
Right now…
(I’m alive)
So I might as well enjoy this shit…
In 2013, John began production of his 5th spoken word album black cloud. After recording most of the tracks, the computer containing all of his raw unmastered files crashed. Having to record everything over, John became frustrated and chose not to release the project. Until one day after several personal battles with himself he decided the world needed to hear this album. Instead of recording it over he decided to use the raw unmastered tracks to add to the metaphor that is Black Cloud. Inspired by a Joe Budden song, John began writing and recording this album detailing some of his most personal thoughts and feelings. His battles with depression, love, religion, and so much more. 3 years later he’s starting to see the sun and feel it’s time to let the black cloud that’s been hanging over him pass so he can move forward…
