Day 6...

You may know me.

I don't know you yet.

But I feel we've met long ago.

No past life flow. No silly reincarnated stories of anguish.

See, you're a stranger to me and, no stranger words have been said- you are who I see.

In my thoughts

In my dreams

In my mirror

You succeed to make yourself known.

To look right thru me.

And as much as I try to deny who you are

My eyes are your eyes

We share the same soul.

I haven't tapped into the beauty that is you. I know.

So day after day,I make it a goal.

To get up, and get into who you are.

Our gaze intertwined.

No longer feeling forced.

No longer deemed lazy, or running, or weak...

I laugh and I cry and I smile.

And I stare.

Hypnotized because you are a reflection of who I can be!

Who I am becoming...

I stare. In awe.

Knowing that people go thru their entire lives not seeing their stranger.

I know I'm blessed.

Refuse to second guess.

Sometimes question, why I let me become the stranger.

And when I no longer see you as the stranger pieces of me is the day we finally meet.

You Love Me...

I bore easily.

But when it comes to you,

there is something not-so-new,

that takes over me.

I can't explain

the unthinkable strain you have over me.

Never do I ever want you to let go of me.

Your words, they flow deep and it is thru me

That I will express all the love you have given me,

You see my Music, it comforts me

In ways that I never knew it could for me.

And before I discovered it,

it discovered me.

Now,

As I sit with this impromptu blog,

aka, my lyrically melody,

Under the dark blue sky,

the streetlights blinding me.

I let my fingers walk across the keyboard gently...

My mind, infinitely in your grasp and

this is how you've continuously treated me!

So as I write thee,

I'm taking out the time

to appreciate you loving me.

I know my music loves me.

Because there is no place in this world

that you would not take me!

And all you've ever asked was for me to be me.

And thru you I can be complete.

From A Distance...

...and as I watch the stars

from afar I wonder...

Will it be me?

Should I even question

the distance of it's reality?

Will I be placed among them

instead of looking up at their amazing grace and,

in that space,

that empty space

is my place in the sky.

Prepared, polished and ready

when I feel the fear is gone and

its my time.

The days pass,

the work flows and,

from a distance I truly know that

the empty space that I see

is reserved for me.

A few weeks ago, I was interviewed by the lovely Tunisia Engram for her segment called, Lyrically Speaking' for a new locally-based show called 'In The Midst'. The show airs on Comcast channel 66 and Verizon channel 29 every Wednesday at 1pm.

It was a great experience and I'm so appreciative that she even thought of me!

Catch me at the 12:44 mark:)

Networking...

I went to homecoming this past weekend. I worked my butt off! I spoke to all my friends and fellow musicians that went to Clark Atlanta University. Gained a few brilliant connections and validated the value of networking- even if you think you know people already, you don't know what they've done. You don't really know what a person has been up to unless you speak with them and see them in action!

It pays to talk. With substance and confidence.

It also pays to keep in touch. I will do just that!

Look Away!...

Nah, I'm just playing.

But not really.

As the fall gets going, I'm becoming busier. I am SO loving it! I had my very first interview as B.Fly and, it went so well that, I get to perform at a launch party. *insert happy dance*

I call this post "look away" for a few reasons:

The less I worry about the things I can't control, the less stress I'm under.

The less stress I'm under, the more creative I am.

The more creative I am, the more music I create.

Its an endless masterpiece- this cyclical motion of life. What we choose to gaze at shapes us. Its what we ultimately learn from and sometimes, we have to un-learn the things that cause the drama.

So, will you look away with me?

4th Quarter...

Earlier today, I was on twitter (@bflybelton) and I tweeted:

"4th quarter. Are you tying up loose ends or, are you just getting started??"

Well, what's your answer?

Are you still talking about the same goals you wanted to reach back in January, February, March...?

Or,

Are you acting on those words? Have you completed the goal?

Personally, my goals have become more concrete and realistic with time. This comes from a great deal of work, sweat, tears...and swift kicks in the ego. (yall know who you are. cant thank you enough!)

It also comes from watching others. The ones that push pride to the side. The ones that burn bridges. I've seen it all, simply because I found my patience to watch and learn...

The 4th Quarter is 30 days away. Have you done, reached, accomplished? Are you close? Or are you still talking?

I'm confident that my 4th Quarter is abundant. I have no fear. Let's get it!!

Fun Facts...

Fun Facts I've learned along the way. Mostly in 2009-2010 because now, I have more time to focus on life around me.

1- Helping people help themselves is a win.

2- Don't be so consumed with the future. Keep your feet firmly on the ground you're walking now.

3- No one. I mean NOBODY, is a mind reader. Always ask questions and retain answers.

4- The thing that I cannot ever control is you.

5- Same goes for me.

6- Speak your profession into existence. And make sure it's the one you're destined to do.

*For example, I am B.Fly. The Singer, Writer, World-renowned Artist.

*No one can tell me different.

7- It's okay to doubt, just don't doubt yourself into failure.

8- For goodness sake, you're human. Stop trying to be perfect!

9- The only way you can please everyone else is by pleasing yourself FIRST and ONLY.

10- Having a big heart and not getting taken advantage of IS possible. It's okay to love and respect one another.

Yall can thank me later ;)

What Is Love...

What does love feel like?

Is it silk, satin or, cashmere with lace trim?

Wool, rayon, pleather or, crushed velvet? In triple-digit weather...lol

Is it a polyester spandex blend, that hugs you tight in all the right places, all while making you sweat with frustration because, its not a gentle embrace?

There are many analogies I can use.

I know. I mean, deep down in my gut and in my heart, that love is simple!! It's one of the easiest things we have on the planet yet, we make it SO hard. Damn. Why??

When I see people holding hands down the street, I smile. Because I know that possibly 5 minutes before they stepped out, that may have had a petty disagreement. But love, true love, knows how to communicate. Often without saying a single word.

Love is your favorite fabric, drink, food, person, happy-place. No one man or woman should be deprived.

Day 5...

Dear Dreams-

You're getting stronger and much clearer each day. Some people may think I'm crazy for investing so much importance in my dreams but, there's no explanation needed when you reveal so much truth...

Like, when last August, I had a dream a Lion was attacking my territory? I got fired 2 days later.

Or when I dreamt that a woman was taking the time of a person I love so dearly? Yep, she was and still is...

How about another! When I had the dream where I was writing a song, and two days later, a producer called me and asked me to record some original music...

I don't give you all the credit tho, my dear Dreams. All of it really is linked to my spirituality and confidence in God. You see, without that link, I don't believe that you would be so vivid. I don't believe that names, places and perfect detail would even come to me.

The other day, I had a dream that I was yelling, but no one heard me. I knew then that, yelling, screaming, repeating words in vain was just a waste of my energy and, a lost of creative strength and valuable time.

So today, I blog. This serves many purposes in my life and I couldn't be happier for it. :)

The advantage? I'm closer to God. I have a better understanding of me and my goals in life. I know what b.s. I will not take. I know that I can't get a grasp of my circumstances if I'm always talking and not listening.

The only disadvantage is that I don't take heed until its too late. That's just sometimes. I may not see whats right in front of me until it hurts too deep. Dreams, you're teaching me to follow and trust my instincts. And believe what is being shown to me. What's right in front of my face.

Many Thanks-

B.Fly

P.S.: Some people may think it's crazy. They just don't believe. And, you know what? It's not for them to believe however, In due time, they will see.

Day 4...

To My Sister-

I took sound advice from someone the other day, that led me to believe that, your words were not from a place where hurt resides. They are from a place where you care enough not to sugar- coat. I am supposedly 'overreacting', when the 'fat bitch' phrase is thrown around because, you care so very dearly about my health and well-being...

Let me not get too sarcastic. I'd still put my life on the line for you. Ans, all the years of my admiration still won't equal the future days of bragging rights I feel I'm entitled to. To say my sister is a children's Nurse, A mother of 2 beautiful children, a safe sex advocate, public speaker, and literary junkie, makes me feel like there's a Nobel Peace Prize winner in my presence!

All I want to say? I love you. I still look up to you. You still are my everything sister. You're the only one I've got and, thats no punishment to me. One day, you'll see that I'm no burden either.

Forever-

Your Baby Sister

Into the Night...

Into the Night.

He rides.

Car waxed so right that you could see the night off the paint.

Red-coated, like the passion.

The fire inside him.

Skyline glaring back at you, he looks in his rear view...

Rides thru the night,

Stars so bright reflecting off the eyes of him.

Steps out the car, 6 foot god that Rome missed out on,

But Babylon appreciates his craft...

Gets to the club to see the people dancing to his beats.

They're hypnotized by the sound.

They have no clue that he's the man who plans the chords just right,

with just one press,

an ear, wrapped so tight around the melody...

But all we see is the DJ, spin in order, blinded by the flashing lights...

So, he steps out, and rides back into the night.
