awareness

in reflection
of orange orchid orchard
I dive

wild origin
tenderest under water terrain
holds me oceanic
all I am
is now
a replenishing harmonium
occurs through my body
dolphins move
through my spine
in sonar verses

The First Day
There is comfort
in close to
or hard
cold
Facts
There is comfort
in brutal honesty
you tell
to others
or others
tell
to you
There is comfort
in the knowledge
that one is
learning
to ride the waves
of dissolution
riding the waves
of psychological
Pain
to surf through
ones
tunnel vision
of shadows and fears
to immerge
into a bright
calm
breathless
First Day
of a new life
in close to
or hard

There is comfort

Hit
Locked in vision.
Trapped, awaiting my decision.
Non-related interests compressed into a mission.
One triggered muscle group away from losing vital fluid and gray matter on display.
Is your life worth taking?
Is your wife a widow in the making?
So close. So crisp and clear in my scope.
Yet so far away.
Surreal, while my breath is held so no words to say.
Nothing personal. A cold hearted job which i didn’t plan on taking first of all.
Second, i don’t even stand fully behind my country or understand fully how i...

Thanksgiving
speaking out my gratitude
thankfulness in verse
when negativity is our tendency
discontentment makes a bad situation worse
what we lack or all we have is a matter of perception
grateful for the blessing and the source
making vows with my confession
trajectories of decline fight to find recourse
blemishes on the beauty of our lives steal attention away
retrain focus to fixate on the light of another day
one more breath to live and get it right despite the ways we fail
one more song to sing, as the melody outlives tragedy,...

Silence to systemic, institutionalized and deadly barbaric racism is itself egregious violence!
By Stanley Collymore
No malevolently downtrodden and
rampantly abused people ever
actually won, or could have
realistically hoped to do
so, an enforced upon
them moral, vitally economic or
social equality revolution simply
by means of peaceful, people
protests; since all those who
bravely tried to do so were
fundamentally at the best
either derisorily laughed
at or, otherwise, rather
viciously and ignobaly
treated by all those
who had the whip
hand over them.
And for those...

Music Class
Music Class
Deep in the cloisters of terracotta
belles effloresce with beaus
among rows of wooden desks
where coeds have sat for a century
while breathing sighs of summer love.
Their poetry is the blue sky
under which gardens blossom
in sonnets of sunshine
heaped in bales of gold.
The young ladies chatter like Chickadees
with gentlemen in a college-lyceum
where Bach can’t compete
with green grass and blue skies.
So we follow the sun
onto the campus green
where lasses are peonies ...

The wallflower`s perch
14/31
It survives, with toes its foothold
to crevice, or slim ledge
reflecting the sun, in colours so bold,
expressions of scent,
clinging to the edge
A salutary lesson; mind in isolation
fighting all the knockout blows
hanging holds, be our obsession
the screw that turns, but remain composed

Super hero
Super hero
If you could be a Super hero, which one would you be, there's so many hero's to choose from, come play this game with me
Would you be Superman, faster than the speed of light, always there to save the world, protecting what is right
What about the Dark Knight, Batman whose, secretly Bruce Wayne, no real Super powers but obviously rich and with a brain
Thor the God of Thunder, with his hammer only those worthy can lift, he flies and his so powerful, a useful hero gift
Iron man has the gadgets, he has all the high tech toys,...

Love in the Moment
live for the moment
doesn’t matter if you lose it
only need the journey
even when you falter
don't be afraid to try
always keep that rawness
inside you need to harness
kindness, respect, and love
take it all in before it’s gone
I always want to know it
bring it in and hold it
show compassion before it’s gone
love in the moment
this is my happiness
writing love, killing sadness
letting go of depression
no reason to harbor the past
throw mistakes to the wind ...

Smile
Every Day you need to find a reason to Smile.
On some days this will seem impossible
especially on the darkest days.
However you need to get up
and keep going,
get up and fight for your dreams:
You need to get up and Conquer.
.
Smile, for your Journey
has been confirmed.

Inspiration
When I think I'm running out of inspiration
I look around me to search
For that source of joy
That would inspire me to keep going
And lift me from whatever feelings
That weigh me down
There are many things in life
That could inspire me
Things that are worth living for
That gives me more reason to live
And appreciate life despite the challenges I face in living day by day
My family is one of those reasons
And the most important of all
Their love is all that matters
That alone is enough
To push me and keep me...
