What do you get when you mix some bossa nova flavor, an urban griot, an electric guitar, a flautist, a warm Los Angeles night and the secret ingredient? You get a mighty recipe. You get the “Hidden Treasure,” the first single off of Baraka Blue’s new album Majnun’s Lost Memoirs. “I was inspired to write this piece after reading a book called “The Knowing...

you are my favorite poem
the way you write yourself into me
lips bleeding backwards
your fragility is dominating
your moans crushing
you blush violently
there is a soldier in a far off land
whose only source of hope
is dying into you
through running faucets
there is a heat so hot it is cool
there is depth so dark
it is blinding
a pain so intense
it’s ecstatic
it’s from there
that you
are writing
Present
Be safe and glorious today. May you be presently aware as the unfolding of the created realm manifests inside you and around you… And may Hu allow you to see with the eye of inner sight through the veils that block most from being spiritually transformed by drawing gems of wisdom out of the well of life. Ameen.

Daughter of the Moment
she laid there in her bed
and she slightly swayed her head
whispering beneath her breath
I couldn’t make out what she said
she laid there in her bed
and she gently swayed her head
watering beneath my skin
the visions that she bled
I couldn’t escape her sadness
I could not escape her charm
I couldn’t escape her blessing
I could not escape her harm
I was cast into the oceans of the...
