The Illusion of A Dream Come True
Lost in a war of thoughts that compete for my inordinate affections
On a scale of vanity to the cost of living and all that takes from me
Dare I risk the hopes of dreaming as I mortgage my heart to the point of bankruptcy for a voice
What’s the worth of being heard when pricelessness is price gouged on the terms of desperation
Taking advantage of time sensitive opportunities without a bargain for passion
How do I cash out when I’m up
The house always wins and the payouts are lacking
Feeling like an underrated wonder, caught in the marvel of the...

If Angel's Had Quills == A Spirit's Journal
*760 BCE**: Aboard the *Odyssey*, riding out a ferocious storm. The winds howl like the cries of old gods. I spot mermaids weaving through the frothy waves, their songs filled with longing. Odysseus grips the mast, defiant against nature's fury. Meanwhile, half the crew is experiencing seasickness like never before—it's hard to look heroic when you're clinging to a barrel for dear life.
**April 24, 1184 BCE**: I arrive late at Troy; the Greeks have already begun their invasion. They stumble from the wooden horse like newborn foals, tripping over their own swords. I can't help but...

The prodigal sock
One fine day,
a sock decided to run away
I found its twin
lying indifferently
in the wardrobe
I did a bit of probe
But he didn't care
where his bro
had fled
I searched and
searched
and searched
But in vain...
I was getting late for school
frustratingly I cursed the twain

The Mystic Silence Of The Pine Forest
I make sporadic visits to the mountain, the usual track is shepherds' pathway,
smooth and mild, smelling meek sheep, and stern shepherds, and a watchful dog.
The mystic forest keeps a godly silence, wrapped in misty veil; bending deeply
in meditation,steady and motionless.
What secrets does it keep, what riddles upon which does it sleep, where will its small veins
Travel, and how does it breath in what we exhale,? even the birds nestle, live within,
hardly a chirp is head, among the foliage or a Scream is yelled
inside...

Raindrops
As I take my final walk
Down to my favorite lake
The voices from beyond talk
Reflecting on my life I shake
Myself staring back at me
In the crystal blue reflection
My life and my history
And a thorough introspection
I see my reflection start to cry
My tears I try to splash away
Regret that made me want to die
Revisiting me this incredible day
The dark angry clouds form
Cutting through me like a knife
Then the water transforms
As I anguish at my life
...

The Hunchback of The Beautiful Poem
There is so much poetry than makes you happy for a while, then you spend the rest of your life in regrets,
i can give you a rose, freshly picked from a flowery garden, one that blooms in spring,
just for a moment which will wither the moment its perfume is gone.Abroad laugh
that ends in tears and fears and desolation and sorrows..it's like a fast food
you buy from the sidewalk kiosk, its full, fleshy, garnished, spicy that makes you say,
'' yummy !!, just walk a few steps, and you will get '' Hangry.''...angry+ hungry ...

From Nature Onto The Books
i can give you solution to your questions, which will fade away as soon as you walk away;''Go look for the answers''
Poetry is " lyrics " of the music of your feelings,so, know how to play your heart strings, they might sound dissonant if you fake them..
*******
To be insolent is to give negative answers to positive questions and statements
Ethical response is given without exclamation marks ?, nor interjections !, " if you doubt what you say....hmm "
********
The poesy that revolves only around you"...

She never listened to anybody
This was around the time I was 8 or 9 years old.
I was in the 3rd grade.
The teacher's aid always told her and the rest of us not to stand up on the swing.
She always did it anyway.
She never listened to anybody.
I heard she had a terrible upbringing.
She was beaten by her mother for being mischievous and defiant.
Her father would come home when he wanted to.
He was a traveling salesman.
Supposedly he had two mistresses, with families in Texas & Virginia.
I hated her guts because she always used to chase me home from school, pull my hair...

THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME
About what I have been going through since 2021 with different stages of cancers prostate cancer and kidney function and tumors and lung cancer 🙏 This isn't really about me it's about you 🤔 YET my real question to you is WHO DO YOU TURN TOO, when you are lost and confuse and afraid. AS you sit alone within the very confinement of your four walls 🧱 that you call home 🏡, as it is there where you can find yourself in peace with tranquility. For the betterment of your life for it is necessary, to be able to understand, that no day. WILL never be the same...

The Typewriter
When a boy, the world appears near
climbing over fences, no need to open a gate
Across our house, a grey building, a school
for those who wanted to be welders or
architects or some other trade.
The caretaker had many keys, we thought
he was the boss, wore a yellow coat
and walked with dignity
He shouted at us kids to show who
tough he was, but most of the time
he let us play in the schoolyard
in a ditch, a trapped cat. we lowered
a bucket down for the moggy to jump into
but it was not willing, the...
