One Day Everything Will Change

/

…days seem dark

The hope feels lost

The faith seems to be in doubt

The nights seem to be endless

The dreams have turned into nightmares

The love have turned into hate

The friends have turned into enemies

The light at the end of the tunnel has burnt out 

The family has turned into distant friends

What else that is supposed to be good turn into darkness?!

~One Day Everything Will Change!~

Change can turn everything that was once dark back into Light 

That tiny piece of Faith/Hope follow it and never lose it!

Things will get…

The Blues Are All Around

/

A classic blues lyric lamenting life’s troubles

————

Oh, there’s grey skies above me

Grass ‘neath my feet is dead and brown

Yeah, there’s grey skies above me

Grass ‘neath my feet is dead and brown

Well, my troubles all surround me

And the blues are all around

Oh, I got no job this morning

‘Cause the factory closed down

Yeah, I got no job this morning

‘Cause the factory closed down

Well, my troubles all surround me

And the blues are all around


Oh, my bills are piling higher

Not a dollar to be found

Yeah, my bills are piling…

Paragon Paradise

…by pyrography

Best friends with a child prodigy

Singing to myself while spinning in circles

The festival was lively with entertainment

Admiring black lacquer jewelry boxes and ruby glassware

No more lovely music or twirling ballerinas

Likes the idea of having decorative plates instead of serving plates

A bird statue placed in front of a handheld fan

Remembering the professor who studies paradigms

Would rather be caught up in tediousness

They didn't beg but I didn't protest

Familiar stare due to similar…

Stubbornness from Both Sides

/

…the pain would subside

The longings would reside

Hearts will stop following false hope

And the times of ignorance would never come to cope

Oh I am hurting myself

Can't do much about it to cure heartfelt

It's in the depth of the bosom

The dissatisfaction of situations filled with emotions

I wonder where did I go wrong

What did I do to go through hailstorm

Was always devoted into prayers to get her

And now I am cut into fragments divided in layers

Stubbornness from both sides

I wonder does she feel the same as I go through…

Abstinence: Still I Wait

/

For those who wait to have sex before a intimate or marital relationship.

————

…may tempt me throughout my days

With your cruel, tantalizing ways,

You may manipulate me into sensuality

But still, through spirituality, I’ll wait.

Does my purity vex you?

Why are you so hostile with me?

Cause I achieved freedom to choose

My head is held high and I’m set free.

Just like a female tiger hunting prey,

With the instinct to feed her mate,

Just like the hunter watches prey migrate,

Still I’ll wait.

Did you want to see me falter?

Sexual used up and…

The Love I Once Had

/

Pain written on a pad

————

…love I once had for him is dead and gone. Oh how hard was it for him to leave me alone. Or was it’s hard for me to just leave and move on. Alone I already, was. I suppose but me being around him had me feeling like the love still can grow strong. Than again it was just me. Oh no, how silly was that lie. I thought to self about my wealth, health and happiness and realize that it’s sinking because of him. He will not and can not help me or…

Monster Truck

/

…daisies with downward facing petals

You’re in a monster truck

Driving off the road

A child chases after a wild animal with claws

Insincere recommendation for a main course

Temper tantrum over tanzanite studs

Hose running onto the sidewalk and onto the street

A watering hole

Found a crow corpse

Wants to spoil me

Life holds on to us

Waiting for the wind to settle to…

Borrowed Time

/

Heartbreak, mending, heroin and recovering

————

…unfair my life was blighted by substance

and the memories are difficult,

though I still notice all the anguish and injustice?


So if I was to accept this “God given talent”

and let my creativity flow,

I think I’ll push this envelope and make this unpleasant.


Joyce, Poe, Gialketsis and Tennyson

add mine to my favorites,

impacting the inspiration of the English language.


These kinetic adversaries that just seemed to spew

tsk tsk,

for my family and friends and that substance you!


I won’t be cowardice and I will speak strictly

my spirit is shaking,

up to the day…

Am I Answering My Me Questions?

/

My first serious journey searching for my true me, spiritually.

————

…I interpret see not our given home

Earth, does it also mean it is not for our planet of

Inhabited ears of clay? Or am I once again answering

My me questions of questions already answered?

Then there is nothing given man that is not meant to be

Shared in some shape form or fashion, magnifying your

Wind of quickening’s life to our aliveness? One breath in

Representation of one born body of truths spoken births.

Thus, we are spiritual, historical, unifying remembrances,

Seeing again the oneness in a language…

Time

/

…hours

From you 

Without you 

On a journey

Finding self

Hurting from withdrawal 

Fearing a new addiction

A new one to be physical with

A cold heart filled with

Reasons not to try

Trust comes hard but in the 

Abstaining you have clarity 

So now only real and truth draw you

Stop ass shaking and let’s talk

Pay no attention to the movement 

Of my eyes your sexy is not what they seek

Body language is a giveaway 

As I move…
