Harmony of Opposites: A Mother's Love
Opposites yet the same, my mother and I,
As I grow older, clarity fills the sky.
I used to strive to be the opposite of my mom.
But now I see our shared traits, a bond set free.
In a simple smile or a turn of phrase,
Her presence echoes through my very ways.
The way I move, too the way I speak,
A reflection of her, even when I sleep.
To be distinct, to forge my own path,
Her essence lingers, an unbreakable tether that lasts.
She loves the religion, I am stardust's child,
Country versus rock, opinions running wild.
She stands with...

Whirlwind of Dreams: A Symphony of Light
In the whirlwind of change, my spirit soared,
A book with my mom, our creation of love.
Soon to be complete, ready to release,
A journey of words, our hearts find peace.
Through the pages, our dreams will unfold,
Stories of bravery, resilience untold.
In the embrace of words, we'll touch many hearts,
Spreading joy, healing wounds, igniting sparks.
A new chapter unfolds, my grid awaits,
Where New Orleans dances, within digital gates.
A long-awaited dream, magic brought to life.
A tapestry of colors, swirling so brightly.

Lessons From Rocky: A Father's Day Reflection
On Father's Day, I dig deep within my soul,
Seeking gratitude to make me whole.
My real father, distant and few,
Only three meetings before he passed away.
My adopted father, a painful chapter,
Cast me aside for his real daughter.
A wellspring of hurt I've carried so long,
Yet this year, my heart sings a different song.
Rocky, I thank you, though not as intended,
For teaching me how love should not be amended.
A road I'll avoid, a path that will remain uncharted,
Your lessons ignited a fire, undeparted.

Unveiling Illusions: A Heart's Journey to Self-Love
In shadows' grip, my toxic trait prevails,
Seeking goodness in those who never cared,
They treat me harshly, cast me to the winds,
Yet my heart remains, love intact.
Each chance bestowed, a throat's piercing blow,
No blindness veils their true selves from sight,
Yet still, my soul yearns for that spark of light,
Hope's ember flickering, my heart's resolute plight.
Oh, how I shatter my own fragile heart,
Seeking virtues where they refuse to communicate,
Weariness consumes me, as I chase empty dreams,
For within their souls,...

"Echoes of Resilience"
In a realm where friendships feigned,
Their intentions masked, deceit ingrained,
They sought my secrets, their greed untamed,
To use against me, a plot untamed.
If fortune smiled, and wealth did bloom,
Or clientele flocked to dispel my gloom,
They'd whisper falsehoods, weave their loom,
In hopes my riches they would consume.
But lies are frail, like fragile glass,
And truth will surface as shadows pass,
To loyal clients, I'd raise a glass,
Exposing the charlatans en masse.
Yet, in my tale, as life unveiled,
In pages of...

Resurgence: A Journey Unveiled
In the depths of despair, embraced in the year 2018,
My spirit embarked on a chase, a journey of fate.
From darkness' clutches, I emerged to see the light,
A quest of self-discovery, my heart alight.
Oh, what an untamed path, a ride of wild extremes,
An adventure tumultuous, unbinding my dreams.
I heeded the whispers deep within, yearnings untold,
Through pain and struggle, my starting point I behold.
In the ballet of demons, my soul danced with woe,
Yet from that agony, my voice began to grow.
In fragments shattered, I reclaimed what was...

Everlasting Threads: A Tapestry of Friendship
In the tapestry of time, over three decades' span,
We grew up as comrades, connected at 15 our life began.
Though our paths may have diverged, distance be damned,
My perception and feelings for you forever withstand.
As youth, we braved a world steeped in its worst,
Yet never succumbed to its snares, never immersed.
Within your core, a strength untainted and real,
Not tethered to religion, but a power you conceal.
It's you, my dear friend, with boundless might,
Your inner reservoir of energy shines so bright.
And if you ever need an extra juju...

The Woman Within
For too many years, I've carried a dream,
Of a woman so beautiful, a Goddess, it seems.
In my vision, she's by my side,
Loving me unconditionally, in a magical ride.
But as I searched for her, my heart grew tired,
Expecting others to fulfill what I desired.
I placed upon them the weight of my dream,
Unconditional love, a love supreme.
it was unfair, a burden they couldn't carry,
And it brought heartache, leaving me in despair.
I've decided to let go of that chase,
To find the love within, to embrace my own grace.
Through my inner...

Finding Inspiration in the Silence
Numbness grips my heart and soul,
A silence so deafening, a black hole.
I know the truth, the lies, the game,
But my words are lost, my inspiration tamed.
Motivation seems to have fled,
Leaving behind an empty bed.
I try to write, to create a new,
But the words won't come, the magic askew.
It's not about her, but me,
The point of doing it, hard to see.
I know the power is inside,
But finding it, a bumpy ride.
I'll take a breath, a moment to feel,
The pain, the hurt, and let it heal.
For sometimes it's okay...
A silence so deafening, a black hole.
I know the truth, the lies, the game,
But my words are lost, my inspiration tamed.
Motivation seems to have fled,
Leaving behind an empty bed.
I try to write, to create a new,
But the words won't come, the magic askew.
It's not about her, but me,
The point of doing it, hard to see.
I know the power is inside,
But finding it, a bumpy ride.
I'll take a breath, a moment to feel,
The pain, the hurt, and let it heal.
For sometimes it's okay...

Transforming Pain into Poetry
Poetry is my soul's healer,
My heart bleeds the words to seal her.
My art, my poetry, and my VR building,
Transform negativity into positive feeling.
Growth is never an easy path,
Painful lessons that bring a new craft.
The journey is long, far from over,
But I'll keep creating from my core, a treasure.
What my heart desires, I will create,
No one can take it or underestimate.
My poetry is the mirror of my soul,
And with each word, I am made whole.
My heart bleeds the words to seal her.
My art, my poetry, and my VR building,
Transform negativity into positive feeling.
Growth is never an easy path,
Painful lessons that bring a new craft.
The journey is long, far from over,
But I'll keep creating from my core, a treasure.
What my heart desires, I will create,
No one can take it or underestimate.
My poetry is the mirror of my soul,
And with each word, I am made whole.

Boomerang of Betrayal
The one who used, lied, and betrayed my trust,
Karma is a bitch, and it's now a requisite.
The boomerang effect, it's coming back around,
To knock you down, to bring you to the ground.
You thought you had me fooled, you thought you won,
But the game is over, I see you for who you are,
Behind the mask of charm and grace, a narcissist hides their toxic face
Your lies and deceit, no longer worth condoning.
My trust was a gift, and you threw it away,
But now the price you pay, it's time to pay.
Karma is a bitch, and it's come for you,
I may...

Rebuilding Myself
In my memory, a picture I found
Of me and my grandpa, I felt love all around
I felt safe and warm, in his loving embrace
Before my world shattered, leaving me in a dark place
But now I've done the inner work, to put back the pieces
To rebuild my heart, and heal myself.
To my younger self, I make a promise to you
To feel that love and joy, and to make it anew.
I'll give myself happiness, love, and freedom once more
Stronger this time, unbreakable at the core
I'll build it myself, and no one can take it away
I'll keep shining...
Of me and my grandpa, I felt love all around

Before my world shattered, leaving me in a dark place

To my younger self, I make a promise to you
To feel that love and joy, and to make it anew.
I'll give myself happiness, love, and freedom once more
Stronger this time, unbreakable at the core
I'll build it myself, and no one can take it away
I'll keep shining...
