OVERLOAD

"OVERLOAD"

Written by :  David Victor Pavon

MIND BLOWING, FREE FLOWING

THE DANCE FLOORS RAGING

THE DJ'S TURNING IT

I'M ON THE FLOOR 

FUCKIN', BURNING IT....

LET ME SEDUCE YOU WITH MY GROOVE

AND INTRODUCE YOU TO THE WAY I MOVE...

MIND BLOWING, FREE FLOWING

"While listening to a track by DJ David titled OVERLOAD. I began to hear the lyrics I wrote above in my head. Then I started singing along with the track. So now I think I've laid the stepping stone of my segway into collaborating my poetry into music giving an innovative approach to spoken word poetry. I guess this is the new generation's HYBRID approach to spoken word poetry I sorta reinvented. Now to complete the project and BRING IT TO LIFE."

BEHOLD...I AM COMING SOON

"A Groundbreaking Collection featuring 

DAVID VICTOR PAVON along side 55 Queer Ch/Xicano poets from across the Nation and Mexico."

HIDE OUT

"HIDDEN"

WRITTEN BY:  DAVID VICTOR PAVON

IT'S TIME TO LET THESE FEELING'S GO

I BEEN HOLDING ONTO THEM WAY TOO LONG NOW

THEY HAVE HELD ME TOO FAR BACK NOW

IT'S TIME TO PLAY CATCH UP

I HAVE TO DO IT RIGHT NOW

HIDDEN FOR SO LONG

IT'S TIME TO LET THIS SHIT GO

RELEASE MYSELF FROM THIS DOOM 

I AM SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SADNESS AND GLOOM

IT'S TIME TO GET READY AND TREK THE GLOBE

I'M READY FOR THE WORLD

THIS MUCH I DO KNOW

I WILL GIVE YOU ALL OF ME

I WILL GIVE YOU ALL I BEEN BLESSED TO BE

I'LL BE SENDING SHOCK WAVES THROUGH OUT THE SEAS

I WALK OUT CONFIDENT AND SHAMELESS

MY LIFE IS INTACT

WATCH OUT NOW

EXPOSED, UNCENSORED & UNABASHED 

I'M DOING IT MY WAY

 I'M DOING IT ALL THE WAY

  I'M THROUGH BEING HIDDEN

    TIRED OF MY LOVE BEING FORBIDDEN

+Street art is by:BANKSY I titled "Camera Shy" I felt it accompanied the poem "HIDDEN' well. I like the flower have felt camera shy and underexposed. But when I shed the shyness and come out of hiding I can expose the True me in all my wonderful Glory fully exposed in both the physical and emotional sense. *(I originally wrote "HIDDEN" for a Book titled "Joto(ho-toh)v. An Anthology of Queer Chi/Xicano Poetry"  The book is being published and is coming out FALL 2011. It's a  groundbreaking collection featuring 3 entries by me and the  work of 55 Queer Chi/Xicano Poets from across the country and Mexico. I decided to hold onto "HIDDEN" for my personal project which I currently am writing and developing as we speak. "HIDDEN" is a simple piece but it is my declaration of independence so to speak. I am declaring I will no longer edit myself nor be ashamed of my body(the physical me) nor my body of work (my poetry/writings/art). I feel entirely liberated to share my true art in various forms. My love for life, art, poetry, music, photography, film and sexuality will no longer be bound. I feel free to expose the essence of my true self in full (Mind,Body & Soul) As I continue my journey I hope to inspire and conjure up dialogue when my work is presented in various forums. As always Enjoy and Become Your Dream ;-)   

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME;-)

 TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY 

AND I'M FEELING SO GOOD!!!

TODAY LIKE EVERY DAY 

I WILL RADIATE MY LOVE 

AND PASSION AND SHINE BRIGHT!!!

WE ARE SUPERSTARS!!! 

 I WANT YOU ALL TO LET THAT 

STAR SHINE BRIGHTER TODAY!!!

BECOME YOUR DREAM!!!

AS ALWAYS BE YOU, BE ICONIC!!!

LOVE TO YOU ALL XOXO

CLOSET ROMANCE

"RUNNING THROUGH SHADOWS"

WRITTEN BY:  DAVID VICTOR PAVON

Forget what we set out for, I can feel it’s more

Then we halt, people gaze, then you graze away

You are always leaving me wanting more

Which leaves us without a way to be open

I’m tired of this closet 

Can’t you see these walls closing in on me

I can’t deal, won’t deal with it anymore! 

Tu eres todo en mi!

It hurts to see the shame in your eyes

I suffer, we both suffer in silence

This is me and we are us

If you can’t deal with us

Then this romance is a bust

Are you really just fulfilled with lust?

I thought this was deep

I swear you were deeper

Don’t let this affair be stifled.

This is who we are

At this point I don’t care who knows

As long as we know what we feel inside

What I feel is pure love

I don’t care what your mother, brother, father, sister, 

primo, homeboy, pasteur, priest or tea party says

We are who we are

I am not ashamed of who I am

You can stay closeted and down low 

For all the wrong people

For all of the wrong reasons 

Yet only we will suffer

What we have is so right 

And you listen to them say we are wrong

What about you?

I know you feel this passion inside

I know it’s what makes you feel so alive

Why do you choose to void yourself of happiness?

Aren’t you tired of running through shadows

Feeling guilty and shallow?

Why must we let the world override us?

Strip our freedom’s away and hide us

What about our liberty? 

What about our choice?

What about our love? 

Is it this fear that makes you stay in the closet?

And for what, fear of your families disapproval? 

Fear for being who you are?

Fear for being different? 

Fear for not being macho? 

Fear for loving me? 

Fear of being a homo, fag, queer or joto? 

I say who cares what they will say

 Think, label, define, categorize or call you

Your gay and you were born this way!!!

______________________________________________

-(*This poem is about being in a gay closeted relationship. There is much truth about my first gay romances through out this entry. I often felt outcast and alienated when ever my sexuality was questioned. I always kept my love affairs in the shadows along with the down low guys I fell for. I hope we as people can accept ourselves for who and what we are. I also hope you can accept others for who and what they are, no matter the differences. Like the last line in my poem and as  Gaga pledges"you were born this way"!!! 

It's the simplicity of the message that is so truthful.

Be you, Be ICONIC ;-) 

*The above stencil street art "Gay Romance" by an unknown artist. It's reminiscent of work I adore by BANKSY and other street artist I plan to showcase in the future. If you have an artwork you'd like to share please email me davidvictorpavon@gmail.com ;-)

GOOD FRIDAY/EASTER SUNDAY

H.I.M

WRITTEN BY: DAVID VICTOR PAVON

Selflessness and no regret

As long as I live my life like H.I.M

A deity in disguise

A sinner on the rise

I stare blank into the alter

I hear words with no feeling

I see sinners but no saints

All I can think about is this nation in decay

Born into Catholicism 

Raised to be wrong

My voice to God’s ear seems to far gone

A vessel of sort’s full of remorse

I’m wronged even when it feel’s so right

My heart is crying in despair

 Lost in emotion I look upon the crucifix on my wall

No immediate reception

I’m no eminant acception 

Waiting idle for my reconciliation 

Looking, searching and wondering aimlessly

A lost soul with puncture wounds

In desperate need to make my soul whole

On this holy day, with this holy bread 

My hearts acceptance is a vital key

My faith is proven, my love is strong

My soul no longer searches 

My heart no longer aches

What ever is bestowed upon me

Is a pain I can take

I see the crucifix upon my wall 

I can finally see 

For we all were meant to be

Just like H.I.M

_____________________________________________

-*I always have had misconceptions and preconceived notions about religion. I was born and raised as a Catholic and believe in GOD. I am open to spirituality in whole. My belief system is a combination of a few Religions. All in all GOD and faith is a key factor. Equality for all and live with L.O.V.E and never forget H.I.M.  Look within yourself and all the answers you will find in your heart;-)

(The "Jesus Gift" is an artwork by the artist BANKSY. You may see a theme with me matching up my poems with his works. Either I find a piece I fancy, then I become inspired to write a piece. In this case I wrote a poem then I found the perfect corresponding artwork to accompany my selection. Either way I enjoy the visuals that bring my word's to life. As always Become your dream, ENJOY:-)

FAME WHORE FOR HIRE?!? LMAO

"FAME WHORE"

WRITTEN BY: DAVID VICTOR PAVON

LIGHT'S, CAMERA, ACTION

ALL EQUAL FAME IN MY FRACTION.

PAPARAZZI LEAD'S AT PEREZ HILTON 

AND TMZ SPEAD'S.

MY HUNGER FOR THE LIME LIGHT

IGNITE'S AN INFERNO IN MY SIGHT.

MY PASSION FOR PERFECTION,

MY PERSISTENCE FOR FAME AND

 GLORY RUN WILD IN MY STORY.

I'VE ALWAY'S HAD THE NEED TO BE

ON THE V.I.P SIDE OF THE VELVET ROPE.

THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE DESIRE,

I'M A FAME WHORE FOR HIRE?!?!

WHAT A DREAM IT IS TO BE 

A HOLLYWOOD SCANDAL.

ALL CAPTURED LIVE AND ON T.V.

FAME=WHORE

WHORE=FAME

LIGHT'S, CAMERA, ACTION

LOOK OUT CAUSE I HAVE MORE

ACTION THAN ALL THE JACKSON'S.

SCANDAL AND ME ARE A RECIPE FOR A #1

HIT, YEAH YOU KNOW YOU'D FOLLOW ME;-)

EXPLICIT IS MY FIRST NAME,

 MY MIDDLE NAME SCANDAL

AND MY LAST NAME IS BREAKING NEWS!

NOW I INTERRUPT THIS MONOLOGUE

FOR THE REMIX!

LIGHT'S, CAMERA, ACTION

I'LL HAVE YOU ALL CLINGING TO 

THIS NUMBER ONE ATTRACTION!

FAME WHORE FOR HIRE?!?

WHAT ALL MEDIA DESIRE'S.

_________________________

-"I wrote 'Fame Whore' as an ode to my EGO. An ego that underneath it all desire's the need to be famous in any way, shape or form. I guess it's my way to vent out my real secret feeling's about wanting to be the center of all (media) attention. I love a little scandal every now and then. Not in a harmful way, please don't get it twisted LOL! Like my girl Sara say's "In the summer I wear Scandal's instead of Sandal's" LOL,,,I love my close friend's, I guess because they share my odd sense of no hold's barred humor. So "FAME WHORE" is my cheer's to FAME

;-)

*The street art piece "Where's Hollywood" is by the artist BANKSY. I am captivated as well as inspired by his artworks. The artwork gets me motivated and creatively inspired to write. I saw this piece and "FAME WHORE" is what evolved from me appreciating the art by BANKSY. I feel very connected to his work.

THE GLIMMER EFFECT

GLIMMER

WRITTEN BY: DAVID VICTOR PAVON

Walking in the shadows

Living in despair

I connected with no one

But bonded with everyone

I felt so out of place

Insecurities swallowed my soul

People just don't know

I gave into my sadness

Explored every possible badness

In conclusion it was pure madness

My brass behavior drifted me away from me

I turned my back on all that was meant to be

I was lost in the haze

Burned to a blaze 

My heart was hanging heavy

Eager to leave it all behind

I finally saw a glimmer

A light shining out of my shadow

A place to feel the warmth

A place to feel like me

I escaped my horrid complex

I eluded the evils of my doom

No longer a victim of circumstance

I stand as a product of GOD's greatness

I was inspired by this piece of street art created by BANSKY. I wrote "GLIMMER" yesterday in just under 5 minutes. It's direct, honest, heartfelt and to the point, just like the artwork.

I FINALLY SAW THE FILM "EXIT THROUGH THE GIFT SHOP" AND I WAS COMPLETELY INSPIRED BY THE ARTWORK OF BANKSY. TWO OF HIS PIECES INSPIRED ME TO WRITE A POEM TITLED "GLIMMER". THE STRAIGHT FORWARD PIECES BANKSY CREATED REMIND ME OF MYSELF. LOOKING AT THE PIECES IS A REFLECTION OF MYSELF. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE TWO ARTWORKS THAT INSPIRED THE FIRST POEM I AM SHARING WITH ALL OF YOU. ENJOY;-)
