Poems about Choices and Decisions
#choices
Poems about choices and decisions, poetry about making important life decisions, and evaluating different options. In a world of possibilities, it can be overwhelming when presented with different choices; decisions which may affect our lives and the lives of others.
Ripples of Moments in Time
A fleeting stroke of fate's design,
Waltzing with life's delicate line,
One ponders with a curious chime,
How destiny ripples through the paradigm.
I yearn to sail through time's embrace,
Witness the future, its enigmatic grace,
Unravel secrets, the unknown space,
That bind me tightly, a cosmic trace.
The past, a history we've sown,
The future veiled, yet to be known,
The present fleetingly is shown,
As the future, in time, becomes its own.
Waltzing with life's delicate line,
One ponders with a curious chime,
How destiny ripples through the paradigm.
I yearn to sail through time's embrace,
Witness the future, its enigmatic grace,
Unravel secrets, the unknown space,
That bind me tightly, a cosmic trace.
The past, a history we've sown,
The future veiled, yet to be known,
The present fleetingly is shown,
As the future, in time, becomes its own.

black waters
i dreamed
last night,
as if
i was
floating over
your ocean,
the sky
was clear,
the moon
was lit,
but,
the waters,
they themselves
were black
and
as i dreamed,
you were
there,
you in
your antique
boat, sails
heavy with
wind,
each glimpse
that came
from
the moon
saw you
closer
to your ideas
of what
you hoped
to find.

Where dark lies
Where dark lies
I have gone so far
down at times that
despair has become
my focus and death
has looked like
paradise.
Why am I still
here? Because
I stared death
in its face and
met the challenge
it represented.
Knowing myself
was the challenge
and I realised in
the mirror was
myself looking back.
Overcoming me took
me to realise that
stopping me from
jumping into an
abyss only took
me.

Cloaking Him In The Footsteps Of My Softness
MANHATTAN UPPER EAST SIDE
740 Park Avenue
Manhattan, New York
Tristano’s Penthouse
Artesia was still pissed Tristano did not leave her wallet at the front desk; on the other hand, the excitement of seeing him again thrilled her. She looked over at the door attendant, who was all too happy to accompany her on the elevator.
The elevator crested, the doors opened.
The door attendant looked Artesia’s physique up and down.
“Do you need me to escort you to Mr. Giordano’s door?”
“No thank you.”
Artesia stepped off...

Matchmaking
After Sarah and I shared our first kiss, we returned to The Professor (John) and continued to show him affection.
Feeling the mass of this man I’d once loved so deeply made me dizzy with desire, but a nagging sense of regret overcame me as I paused and bowed my head with John's cock resting against my lips. I knew what needed to happen. John should have Sarah and I knew she wanted him. Yes, they should have each other, and I should find Joseph as quickly as possible. The depth of my arousal would have to go somewhere!
I rose and let Sarah continue while I warmed my...

Unfate
Brain a little different
Sensitive and pimpin it
Ever since I limped in
And shouted, "Bring the gimp in
A little simple and
plain Jane's addiction
The claim that stains my diction
Remains that dude be fighting
All the moods that spite him
foolishly delighted
in the fact he's frightened
Unusually enlightened
The sort of sordid ordinance
That always moves to write them
But the blues be bright when
The fool is up inside them
The lightning from my lighter
Strikes the joint, then I be high again ...

your choices are your destiny
“The choice to make good choices is the best choice you can choose.
Fail to make that choice and on most choices you will lose.”―Ryan Lilly
you can't soar in a windless sky,
or summit-seek on smooth rocks;
your choices are your destiny,
your vices your in-trade stocks.
you can't see forward looking back,
or make advance retreating,
...

UNLIMITED BEING IN LIFE (morning reflections of self perception; 3-12-2007, Galveston Island, Texas)ll always
all I really
know for sure
at this point in my life
is no boundaries
laws nor rules

attempts and pressure
to impose or force upon me
can never hold me hostage
confine control

The Art Of The Deal
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK
Fifth Avenue
Artesia walked out of Fashion and Accessories Boutique.
She strolled to her two-seater convertible BMW, unlocked the door, and placed her shopping parcels on the passenger seat. She pushed the door close and walked around to the driver side of her vehicle. She opened the door, got in, and pulled the door close. She pulled the sun-visor down and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She touched her upswept hairstyle.
“Nice job Leslie.”
Artesia plugged the key inside the ignition, snapped her...

Choices
I can’t sit here and ask myself,
Why is this happening to me?
I am a product of my own choices
I am in charge of my own destiny.
I am the engineer and the architect,
Of my faith and fate as much as it can be,
Even when there are things I can’t control,
My reaction depends on my personality.
I will never look at someone else’s success,
And ask myself, why not me?
For I know they’ve put in the hard work,
For now they enjoy the fruits of their labor...
…and productivity.
I am the creator, whether it’s now or...

Technical Difficulty
Straight to the brain making the memory reset
Stopping folks in mid-stroke from finishing sex,
“The performance delivered can be interpreted as good
That is why the masses chant ‘fuck Mr. Rogers Neighborhood’,
“With smooth beat downs and action that flow quick
Coming through the television like a hard-ass brick,
“Making the competition last stage Covid sick
Having motherfuckas run to the TV after they shit,
“So put the weak to bed or send them outside
This is some wicked shit and not for innocent eyes,

Decisions & Deceptions
Equations of false perceptions
That equate to misconceptions
Cause miscommunications
That transition into weapons
The best protection is to question
Not formulations of calculations
Whose assumptions lead to divisions
Valuations of depreciation; in relations
This is the summation and conclusion
Of a conversation with introspection
Will it take separations via subtractions
In order for my peace to reach fruition
Life's full of tough decisions & deceptions
That equate to misconceptions
Cause miscommunications
That transition into weapons
The best protection is to question
Not formulations of calculations
Whose assumptions lead to divisions
Valuations of depreciation; in relations
This is the summation and conclusion
Of a conversation with introspection
Will it take separations via subtractions
In order for my peace to reach fruition
Life's full of tough decisions & deceptions
