Ivan Ivanowsky Truly Art of Verse, sounds like poems you might read in famous books. He stands out from the hip-hop I possess with his vocabulary and themes of love. Favorite track: Pondered Type Love.

Body Rock Verse 1: Educated by Blue Scholars and supports the Common Market Lover of the Elements, let my eloquence bomb and spark it She was about the Love and the positive vibes Progression holds the essence where my prerogative lies I stride with focus, concentrated beyond the fool’s work So I give respects and props to Grandfather DJ Kool Herc I search for peacefulness without a disaster’s trace So I factor the chaptered ‘pattering’ shattering like a Masta Ace I have to chase this feeling, down through my arteries To spark the star degrees to start the shining harmony that churns My Soul Brother, the grains of the season fits To this love brewing because she’s the Main Ingredient You see well, like C. L., she was quite Smooth I grooved to her vibrations that released the Soul Movement Tunes bent as the Black Moon sent the facts As she carried De La Soul and Wu Tang wax in her backpack Verse 2: Behold her Blueprints, as they carry through the Atmosphere Some people thought she left but it’s clear that the magic is here Distinguished from the image of those lost and pillaged For Hip Hop exists in a Native Tongue Slum Village Its finish, lies hidden from those willingly blinded For we keep our heads high as we stay Criminal Minded She chants, fierce war poems at the top of her lungs Prepared to defend freedom creatively strapped with Native Guns Busting holes into the night sky til it bleeds the sunlight Greeting revolution rock a KRS ONE mic As we tear down the walls to uneasiness may we, Find that there is a Light that shines special for Jay Dee But is it crazy that maybe we cast Shadows on the Sun While People Under the Stairs stay rattling across the drums Keep marching forward the motion is very beautiful Microphone Fiend Queen, indubitably musical Verse 3: It’s amazing the way that she Rocks the Aesop Her motion is passed the place where Grace stops With steady expansion beyond beauty’s philosophy Reflecting Eternally with a Talib Kweli-ty My Resurrection, I now firmly hold a Common Sense To this Love that shines like a Black Star with Mos Def-inite sentiments Her excellence measured with warm cultural light beams So I bask in her sunshine even in my night dreams But it might seem that my flight streams along the consciousness She gave me an open mind so that I could accomplish bliss Conjured this in graffiti so that she could truly hear me For I Quest like a Tribe to provide a Low End Theory She keeps it moving, Soul & Body groovin’ to the truth My mind manifests a Black Thought nestled in the Roots I shoot stars with my pen strokes as the bars hit reality She’s the Art of my Verse atop a starlit canopy

Verse One:: The breeze feels warm as it wraps itself around me Galaxy grooves above to further astound me Surround me with your arms, envelop me my highness Your embrace encompasses heaven, developing divine bliss! I find it's a duller shade, that's faded by the miles Isles and masses between us leave me dreaming of your smile For it's beyond me the way you break reality's seams Being as beautiful as you are inside my fantasy's dreams The canopy teems electric, with liquid starlight Providing guided luminosity for the hard fight Though it be long distance, still clear in my Heart's Sight For I will see you again in either near or far heights Impossible to explain what you do to me Welcome the pressure of the feeling overflowing fluidly To new degrees as I feel my Heart's Warmth Rise Much ado about the Love even the Truth doth recognize :chorus: I feel the breeze (Pressing like a long distant whisper) As if many moons and suns (have gone since I have kissed her) I walk with a trudge (thrusting my gaze towards the skies) Noting that the twinkle of the stars (resembled the shine in her eyes) Now I'mah walk to the galaxy's end (Where reality's lines blur) Riding Wild Shooting stars (until the moment that I find her) Finally again (draped in the curtain of lunar lightbeams) But it appears that she exists merely in my scenic nightdreams Verse Two:: As if you, walked on clouds levitated by doves Mended my broken heart and resurrected my love Tugged upon my Heart strings to magnify this view Of my vision listen to my Soul express I miss you The way tired weary eyes seek sanctuary and solace For your radiance is beyond the Helious Summer solstice I wrote this as I focused on the last past two weeks That are now moments I hold dear that I crash into when I seek Comfort and rest - my lungs work to express The freshness of your beauty but I'm left with little breath So I breathe deep, inhaling you to max capacity Exhaling Love for my missing half in actuality Disasters be your absence in any occurring sphere So I call to the Incubus as I WISH YOU WERE HERE Sharing with you Peace never in devious positions For I miss you simply put within this Aqueous Transmission ::Chorus:: Verse Three: Awaking with you in my arms, Gives me Warm Bliss To know that such a feeling on Earth is born to exist Oh how I miss the way we fit and how I would hold you As if our spirits intertwined as well as our Souls too Like canvas beneath the paint or like paper and pen Rather like beats over rhymes, amazing the way we blend Together like a twinkle and the stars throughout Outer Space Knowing you share the same feelings sends me to a place Of Utopian measure it's an explosion of pleasure I'm in between dreams cause it's better when we're together For anyone can connect, I'm searching for something strong For no matter the distance, nothing'll sever the bond Of our, Heart's connection which embarks in a direction So my Love can learn the language to articulate affection Astounded by the way we're consumed by the kiss of one Leaves us longing for each other like the Moon misses the Sun....
