Genuine
In these times we are LIVING IN,
it is HARD TO REVEAL,
Whether if GENUINE or FAKE,
It's a THING we all have to DEAL.
Of all of the MAKEUP,
of a FACE that IS CONCEALED,
LASHES, WEAVES, and TATTOOS,
Of a FACADE is your COMFORT and SHIELD
We HIDE BEHIND these THINGS because
We just CANNOT UNVEIL,
We don't want to BE JUDGED or
hear how PEOPLE REALLY FEEL.
So, In these DAYS and TIME,
We SHIELD our OUTSIDES FROM WITHIN
We don't want to SHOW the REAL US,
INSTEAD we CHOOSE NOT to
BE GENUINE!!!!

Does anyone understand this meaning or writing ofthis message?? It's simply stating, at times, we hide behind facades that isn't really us. We do this to please others hoping they will accept us instead of judging who we really are. That's why we do it. If you learn to get to know them then the outer shouldn't matter. Trust me we've all been there. What do you think???

The LITTLE THINGS in LIFE
There are the
LITTLE THINGS
in LIFE,
we seem
to NOT REALLY NOTICE.
because of the
BIG THINGS
in LIFE,
that we seem
to be MORE FOCUSED!!!
The LITTLE THINGS lead
to BIG THINGS,
as YOU can
PLAINLY SEE,
Taking BABY STEPS
instead of GIANT ONES
WILL FLOW VERY NATURALLY.
Make NOTE of the
WONDERFUL THINGS,
That are HAPPENING ALL AROUND
From the BIRDS SINGING and CHIRPING,
To the BEE'S BUZZING SOUND.
NATURE is so BEAUTIFUL
It's MOTHER NATURE'S
own PLAYGROUND,
If you PAY CLOSE ATTENTION
to THE LITTLE THINGS  
YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT WHAT IS FOUND!!!!

Light
You are the LIGHT,
of an ILLUMINATING SOUL,
That'll BRIGHTEN up the DARKNESS,
Everywhere you go.

A LIGHT so BRIGHT,
YOU HAVE SUCH A GLOW,
When you enter the scene,
Onlookers will KNOW,

People can't help but
to see your SHINE,
Your SHINE is so LOUD
Others will go BLIND.

PEOPLE will see YOU,
Oh, YEAH THEY DO!!!
Your LIGHT is being NOTICED,
IS WHY HATERS DON'T LIKE YOU!!!

GLOW Like a LIGHT BUG,
Get out and SHINE,
As FAR AS the HATERS,
DON'T PAY THEM NO MIND!!!

CONTINUE TO GLOW,
WHEREVER YOU GO,
BE A LIGHT THAT STANDS OUT,
SO, THAT THIS DARK WORLD WOULD KNOW!!!

You knew my EVERY THOUGHTS,
PET PEEVES and so MUCH MORE,

That's what you are,
even when I WALKED DISTANCE AWAY,
YOU WERE NEVER, EVER TOO FAR!!!
When I felt COLD AND LONELY,
You were ALWAYS BY MY SIDE,
You STAYED RIGHT UP ON ME, and
You ALWAYS was MY GUIDE.
When I felt like I was ALL ALONE
the LONELINESS SEEMS to NEVER END,  
All I have to do is: LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER

To Poetry or not to Poetry
To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
Shall I write poetry or not write poetry? That is the question
Shall I recite poetry or not recite poetry that is a suggestion
Shall I study poetry or not study poetry that is an observation
Can I be loved or not be loved
that is the affection
Can I deal with life or not deal with life
that is called Life's Lessons
Can I share my feelings or not share my feelings they would be my Expressions
Shall I acknowledge or not acknowledge
These are my confessions.
If I will, if I won't, if I can, if I don't
If I must, I will try
to continue as I write.
To Poetry or not to Poetry, that is the Question!!
I would say yes
If I was asked to do so,
I would do it as a
Profession

The Breath of Life
If the air that we breathe
is withheld, we will perish
The Breath of Life is a gift,
we should all greatly cherish

Breathing is essential and
This is so true It signifies Life
The air flows through you

We need air to breathe
it is how we survive
If our air is cut off
we will not be alive

POETRY IS ART,
Like PAINTING WORDS
with a PAINTBRUSH,
VERY SLOWLY, DON'T RUSH,
LYRICAL WORDS as to
an ARTIST PAINTING PALLETTE,
Giving a VISUAL EFFECT of
POETIC GIVEN TALENT.
Every STROKE of the BRUSH,
Is to the WORDS that are DRAMATIC,
When your CREATIVITY is DONE,
You look upon it and say:
FANTASTIC!!!!
It may have TAKEN A WHILE but
yet you're STILL VERY PROUD,
YOUR WRITINGS DO STAND OUT,
IT'S ACCOMPLISHED, COMPLETE

Don't mind me just doing some free writing or whatever comes to me. My mind is full of imaginations so, I decided to free write this creation.
If I were a shooting star,
I would be free
Grant People wishes and Let it Be
You could watch me fly as I start to Soar
Make dreams come true and
so much more.

Across the Horizon and
through the Night Sky
The Galaxies, planets, and
so very high
Past the moon and past the planets
Up, up, and away and passing by orbits.

As the Earth Orbits around the Sun
As the twinkling stars twinkle in the sky
As the shooting star shoots right by
Across the Night Sky So Very, very High!!

If I were a Shooting Star Wow!!
What a Sight!!
To see me Shoot Across the Sky at Night.
A Spectacular Vision, you must see.
To make a wish and to only believe!!

They say that LOVE
is a four letter word,
The feeling of
LONGING and ATTRACTION,
A deep feeling of
FONDNESS and TENDERNESS and
of a Deep, Deep
LOVE CONNECTION!!!

It doesn't always have to be about AFFECTION,
There is a FRIENDSHIP and
a FAMILY TYPE OF LOVE!!!

To back up THOSE LIES,
to use another LIE to COVER!!!

You keep SPREADING LIES,

But, your LIES will
COME TO SURFACE,
not LATER, but SOONER!!

Now, TELL US THE TRUTH,
You think that we are FOOLISH,
But, We Really are not,
So, come clean with
WHAT YOU DID!!!

Now, TELL US THE TRUTH,
You Keep trying to DECEIVE,
Your LIES sound so DOUBTFUL,
THAT THEY ARE HARD TO BELIEVE!!!

You think you got AWAY,
or that you are GETTING BY,
You BETTER CONFESS and
QUIT TELLING THESE LIES!!!

It's REALLY AMAZING,
The question is WHY???
You LIE SO GOOD,
you BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES!!!

It not a SUPRISE,

The TRUTH IS HIDDEN,
Within the LIARS DISGUISE!!!

IT'S seen in your DEMEANOR,
You can't help BUT TO LIE,

It SHOWS in their DEMEANOR,

A SHOULDER to LEAN ON,
to WEEP and to CRY,
FOR SOMEONE to CARE and
to be by THEIR SIDE.

To VENT, DECOMPRESS, and
for YOU to LEND AN EAR.
To LET GO of FRUSTRATIONS and
also their FEARS.

HOLDING ON TO GRUDGES
FROM SO MANY YEARS,

The HURTING, the PAIN,
the LOSSES and the GAINS,
THE HEALING IS A PROCESS, but
The SUFFERING, IT REMAINS!!!

ASK GOD FOR HIS GUIDANCE,
HE WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY,
THE PEOPLE ARE HURTING,
GIVES US COMFORT, THIS I PRAY!!!

While HE is
CREEP, CREEP, CREEPIN,
while you are
SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEPIN,
HE thought
you didn't know
whom, he was
PEEP, PEEP, PEEPIN!!
Well, you are NOT ASLEEP,

YOU got to STAY WOKE
just for your OWN SAKE.

while your up here PEEPIN,
Looking HIGH and LOW,
at what He is SEEKING
It doesn't make since,
It's REALLY NOT FAIR,
He all OVER THE PLACE
CREEPIN EVERYWHERE!!!
He is PLOTTING and SCHEMING
While you are up in your FEELINGS.
Your poor TATTERED SOUL,

Your insides messed up,
from the FLOOR to the CEILING!!!
But, that's ALRIGHT,
YOU will be okay.
As the saying goes
KARMA IS ON THE WAY!!!!

He fell for her the moment he saw her at the Carnival. Entriguing, yet Mysterious, Enchanting, yet Seductive. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, like he was in a trance. He just had to get to know her. He wanted to get close to her. Curiosity kills the cat, and he was very curious to know who this mysterious woman was. It was something about her that he can't help but to be drawn to her. Like a Love spell was cast upon him.  So, he tried to follow her through the crowds of Happy People as he swiftly moved through the crowds trying to keep up, it seems as if she moved farther and farther. The more he moved the farther she moved. By the time he made it through the crowds to a clear distance, she was gone. He was disappointed. It had seemed as if she had suddenly dissipated into thin air. Was she really there or was he looking at a apparition only he can see, as if she was trying to get his attention??? He knows he not crazy, or that his mind is messing with him, He knows what he saw, like an Angel before his very eyes!!! She could've been an Angel in Disguise, He has No idea where she could've gone. Could He have been dreaming, Well, He is wide awake. That same night while sleeping, he sees her in his dreams, Is she trying to give him some type of message??? He just didn't understand. So, finally, He just forgot about her after some time. About a month or so later, he decided to stop by a Coffee shop for coffee before heading to work. As, he waited in line, something caught his attention, as he looked to the right, There she was, the mysterious woman from the Carnival!!! His eyes had widened, he just couldn't believe it. It was really her, sitting alone, enjoying her Caramel Macchatto. She felt his glance, looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back, he grabbed his coffee, and felt it was okay to approach her. So, he did, and he asked was it okay to sit down, and she said yes. Since discovery of her at the Carnival, they started talking. Come to find out, she's very distanced in the same area as he, and they have a lot in common. This to him was Love at first sight, He searched for her, and actually gave up trying to find her, however it was fate that brought them together ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
