Phoenix James - THESE WORDS (Official Audio) Spoken Word Poetry

Let these words
Eternally bless you
As they
Undress
And caress you
Stroke you
And provoke you
Open you
And evoke in you
A desire
Wild as fire
A need irreplaceable
A passion aggressive
And insatiable
A lust for loose lips
That drip
Words in multiples
So freely
So frequent
And so hot
That you won't want them to stop
Running
But keep coming
And coming
And coming

Let these words
Get in you
Touch every nerve and sinew
Let them send you
Hurled into
Worlds renewed
Serve you with a verse from the food of truth
Shelter and clothe you
Wash over you
Clean you, redeem you
Take you deep within parts of yourself you've never been to
Thought you might never find
Never see
Or in your life time
Get to go to
In their embrace
Let them enfold you
Hold you
Mould you and control you
Let them forever remind your spirit
Mind
Body and soul
From head to toe that I
Phenzwaan
Told you

To be reassured
And to make no mistake
That you can respect and take these words
Or you can reject and hate these words
But you will never ever
Be able to forget or forsake these words
Neglect or shake these words
Dissect or break these words
Are
Composed in phonetic code
Not verse
So such attempts
Would only serve to recreate these words
Even now as I speak
They seep deep into your subconscious
Changing from form to form
Like the universe
Is vast
Are free

Free as the unseen seed that freely grows
Free as the unseen energy that freely flows
Free as the very breath flowing from your nose
Free as the unseen force of spiritual law that controls
Let them steal you
Let them heal you
Let them elevate your soul
These words of sustenance
Penned for empty bowls
Let them fill you up
Warm you up
Give you goose bumps
Curl your toes
Let them itch you
Let them scratch you
Annoy you
Get all up in your clothes
Let them course right through your veins
Like our ancestors woes

Let them in
Let them under your skin
Into your flesh
Into your bones
Let them get to you
Let them infect you
Let them kill you
Resurrect and rebuild you
These words used to raise slaves from the dead
And they still do
Let them will you
Fulfil you
Distil you
Thrill you
Chill you in the blistering cold of their winter nights
Singe you in the hot heat of their blazing sunlight
Because, you see
I want you to feel these words
Digest these words
Deep inside your chest conceal these words
Breathe these words
As I speak these words
Be replete with these words
So even in sleep
You can repeat these words

I believe every soul across the globe should know these words
So I go tell these words, go sell these words
Go through and repel hell with these words
And here now they dwell
Like the tenacious scent of natures purest herbs
Can you smell these words
Can you
Permeating like the sweet fragrance from Egyptian oils
Pressed from precious flowers
Cultivated on Egyptian soil
Just lingering
Dip your fingers in
And hold these words
Never let go of these words
Always uphold these words
Never shun these words
Or run from these words

Instead
Chase these words
Come face these words
Come taste these words
Grafted from years of tears and pain
Crafted on behalf of the slain
And all those still here
In this struggle to maintain
And as many walk these cold streets begging for change
When will enough people see
That they're not really begging for change
They are begging for change
And who knows
They may too claim me insane
Because I'm here right now doing the same
So come take these words
Before it's too late for words
Assimilate these words
Appreciate these words
Articulate these words
Perpetuate these words

And if the day should come
When men aim to tame these words
Shame these words
Change, rearrange, restrain or set up against these words
My friend, until the end…
Defend these words
And when my physical can no longer contain
Comprehend
Explain
Or ascend these words
Remember these words
These lyrics
Etched into the very depths of your spirit
Forever living
Left where you'll never forget they exist
Where you can never resist their rhythm
Hauntingly beautiful
They will be heard
Until then
I'll keep giving
And giving
And giving
And giving
And giving
And giving
These words
