People of today are HURTING,
This is an ISSUE that is very CONCERNING,
It SHOWS in their DEMEANOR,
IT'S DISCERNING,
A HELPING HAND is what
they are YEARNING.

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!!!

Quiet as a CHURCH MOUSE,
I don't MAKE A SOUND,
SPEAKING LOUDLY in my MIND,
Cos, of the PEOPLE ALL AROUND!!!

■~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~■

I want to SPEAK OUT LOUD TO YOU,
I have SO MUCH I want to SAY,
Just SPILLING OUT MY GUTS, but
In a LOW KEY kind of WAY!!!

■~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~■

SILENT UNSPOKEN CONFESSIONS,
That are Needing to BE OUTSPOKEN,
In ORDER for you to COMPREHEND,
I am TORN and MY HEART IS BROKEN,

■~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~■

I need to STOP BEING SO SILENT,
SO DOCILE, and SO KIND,
PUT MY BIG GIRL PANTS ON, and
REALLY RANT TO YOU WHAT'S ON MY MIND!!!!

I'M TIRED OF HOLDING IT IN,
THESE ARE ONLY PART OF LIFE LESSONS,
IT'S TIME FOR US TO HAVE A STERN TALK,

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

In my mind, I am too
old to be having crushes,
It takes Just one thought
of you, and my Soul just gushes,
I can't shake the feeling my heart
Just rushes,
I can't hold in my Emotions and
My face just blushes,
I get real nervous when
you come around,
the butterflies in my stomach
don't want to settle down,
I keep my composure
trying to be cool,
Just one false move will
have me looking like a fool,
I can't help myself, but
What can I say???
I won't pay him no mind
I'll just look the other way,
focus on something other than him
keeps it to myself,
cos, in my heart I can't win,
I wont tell a soul,
I'll keep it on the Hush,
I shall never, ever reveal to
the world My Crush!!!

Terrible Dreams,
as you fall asleep,
Slumber is waiting,
as you go in deep.

A good night's rest
is what you shall seek,
No noise or sounds,
Not even a peep.

So, You close your eyes,
As you close them tight,
To catch some zzz's all
through the darkened night.

A Beautiful Nightmare
is what you see,
It so very vivid it's
hard not to Believe.

What's before you,
it seems so real,
It is so miraculous
You can't help how you Feel.

A Dream that is Delighting, and
Very Enticing,
The Thought of it Inviting,
and yet very Frightening.

It brings you to the saying that:
Dreams do come True,
Then again it's a Dream,
So just might be you.

A Beautiful Nightmare
to True Reality, or
a nightmare unhinged,
You just cannot see.

A Dream within a Dream,
You are not really there,
as you are aroused and
awakened from
A Beautiful Nightmare!!!!

When your Heart is broken, and
The Words within are unspoken,
When you are Hurting inside,
Is when your emotions have awokened,

When you don't know what to say,
As your skies have turned to gray,
When you are used to bright sunshine,
To brighten up your Sunny day,

When a time you were so Happy,
With a big smile on your face,
Now, you're feeling so down and out,
For, your smile has been erased,

When you would stop and smell the roses,
and Dance around with grace,
Now, you feel so cold and lonely,
Oh, the feeling of disgrace,

When heartbroken you try to cope,
with the feelings build up inside,
Even through this time, there is Hope,
Strength and Courage will be your Guide!!

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!!!!

When the ICE CREAM

LATE AT NIGHT!!
WHEN KIDS ARE ON

WHEN YOU BETTER
HURRY HOME QUICK,

PICKLES and KOOL-AID
was the best, IF I RECALL,
CHIPS and SODA,

OH, IF I COULD JUST JUMP

tell her about THESE PRESENT TIMES,
  I GUARANTEE YOU, IT WILL BLOW HER MIND, and

Instead of a FROWN🙁,

A HAPPY THOUGHT

Your feeling so JOYFUL,

If you keep this up,

The show is now over,
we can all go home,
the Spectacular Entertainment
has now been shown.
A Fantastic show
of awe and suspense,
it just blew us away,
our money was well spent.
The Curtains are down,
The crowds start to form,
we applauded with excitement,
yelling out  "ENCORE!!!"
As we rise from our seats, and
we straightway to the door.
We Laughed and we Cried,
we Cheered and we Sighed,
The Production was Fantastic
now, it's Time to say goodye.
it was a Terrific night
of joy and delight
it was awesome, and
splendid
"JUST DYNAMITE!!!!"
The Auditorium is still,
not a sound or a peep,
what remains in this state,
is the SIGHT OF EMPTY SEATS.
This PRODUCTION is OVER and
has come to an end,

After the Rain,
as the raindrops,
hits the ground,
is so soothing, and
relaxing,
such a wonderful sound,
to me, it's sleeping weather,
being inside is
so much better, because
of such a long drought,
there is no point in going out,
unless you have to,
on the contrary,
it is better to stay inside,
since there is no skies of blue, and
there is No Sunshine,
to Brighten your day,
but Rain clouds instead,
Filled with Skies of gray,
So, if you want my opinion,
to avoid the feeling of dread,
avoid the inclement-like weather, and
Just stay in bed!!!

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
and AS AN ARTIST YOU SMILE!!!

All I know is that you

I'M WRONG,
My MIND is STEADY
WONDERING as I

Don't let the OVERCAST keep you from BREAKING THROUGH with that said: RELEASE THOSE SUNRAYS!!!

You keep telling us LIES, and
keep FEEDING US FIBS,
you are CONCEALING
HIDDEN SECRETS,
to what you REALLY DID,

You keep TELLING LIES,
from ANOTHER to ANOTHER,
To back up THOSE LIES,
to use another LIE to COVER!!!

You keep SPREADING LIES,
We keep HEARING RUMORS,
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,
we come to REALIZE,
The TRUTH IS HIDDEN,
Within the LIARS DISGUISE!!!

IT'S seen in your DEMEANOR,
You can't help BUT TO LIE,
Like the BOY WHO CRIES WOLF,
The WOLF ATE HIM ALIVE!!!!

He kept pulling PRANKS,
like HE was GETTING BY,
But, no one BELIEVED HIM,

What is a BEAUTIFUL DREAM???
MYSTERIOUS THINGS that
are MISUNDERSTOOD,
trying to decipher it,
Oh, only if
you could,
Colors
and objects
that doesn't make
sense, a world where
your mind is filled with
nothing but suspense, amazing
colors, so vivid to see, that
you would not believe,
the temperature is
calm, and with
a
soft sea
breeze, a thought
to fantasize, before your
very eyes, Until you realize,
a hidden message inside, water
trickling down a beautiful
stream, everything is
perfect, everything
is
so serene,
The feeling is
strong, you're living a
fictional reality, there is no
wrong, a dream world
of wonders, So
marvelous
to see,
as
you are
awakened
from
a
BEAUTIFUL

Please pray for Los Angeles!!!


The skies are so gray,
with such a dark gloom,
I can smell the rain,
I hope it comes very soon.

The air is so windy,
The Clouds are set,
Hoping Raindrops fall,
Thus far, nothing yet.

The gray Skies are ready,
Perception predicts Rain,
Of All of the burning Forrest,
I pray this in Jesus Name.

Los Angeles is now Burning,
As an arsonist runs free,
Oh, Please stop these fires,
I beg this and I plea.

As the burning slows down,
It's a sad crying shame,
From losing homes and businesses,
Lies nothing but burned remains.

May the burning start to cease,
As we are wondering why,
Lord, please send us rain,
Form so very, very High,
Form the Heavens above
Of these dark weeping skies!!!!

When times were easy, and
Life was greater,
the last the croc said:
See you later Alligator,
and the Last Gator replied
with glee in his eyes,
after a while crocodile,
as they both realized,
It's been a while and
It's been quite a minute,
Since The last time they spoke, and
when the times
have been Splendid!!
It's time that we part,
It's been a while crocodile,
I'll see you later alligator, and
Let's not make it a whole!!!

The DREAMER that is FACING REALITY;
is like EAST meets WEST,
MINUS the CATASTROPHE.
It is MAINLY SAYING THAT;
it is your TIME, and
the TIMING IS NOW!!
FACE YOUR REALITY,
go on, and STAND OUT;
Let the WORLD SEE who
you REALLY ARE.
You have PURSUED and WORKED SO VERY, VERY HARD,
you have come VERY FAR.
SO, what are you gonna do???,
PURSUE YOUR DREAMS or CONTINUE
to WAIT A WHILE,
you have been WAITING
for SO LONG.
SO, what are you
WAITING FOR???
better do it while you can, or
it will FLY
OUT THE DOOR.
So, WIPE the SLEEP out your EYES,
LOOK ALIVE, RISE and SHINE,
Let your DREAMS COME TO LIGHT,
And your FUTURE WILL BE BRIGHT

When Loneliness is your spouse,
You two can lounge around in the house,
Be bored, say nothing and just be still,
Don't interact, just kick back and mainly just chill.

There's no talking back, no nagging, no sound
The House is so still that there's no one around
The lonely sets in, its just you alone,
Being in SOLITUDE is what is now shown

No backtalkling, nagging or even arguments,
Just a quiet still calmness
that is heaven sent

There's nothing wrong
with ISOLATION,
To be by yourself and
have RESTORATION,
It allows you the time
to be with one's self
Recooperate yourself
minus everybody else

There's nothing wrong
with having guest, but after
they leave you settle and rest,

So, happy to see them,
but, now it's time for them to leave
You finally unwind, relax
and can breathe

You seem so Different,
you are just not the same,
I am starting to notice
that you have CHANGED!!

The things you use to Do,
The things you use to Say,
Has all Subsided, and
has gone FAR AWAY!!!

They say CHANGE IS GOOD!!
It's like you have TRANSFORMED!!
You're a Different person now,
Who could ask for more!!

You seem so different,
From the inside out,
You're a Changed Individual,
Now, what's that all about?

I like this NEW YOU,
I'm not gonna LIE,
You seem MORE COOL,
and yet REALLY FLY!!!

There's a Change in you,
that I have come to notice,
Your CALM, ENERGETIC,
and indeed your
MORE FOCUSED!!

I Like the New You!!
No, I don't find it STRANGE,
I'm just putting it to NOTICE,
THAT YOU HAVE CHANGED!!!!

The ripple effects of
the water is calm,
baby waves moving
along the shoreline,
Poems, Lyrics, Sonnets, and
haikus of all kinds,
the crashing of currents
of powerful Tides.
Words to inspire, to
motivate, and to encourage,
Conquer these dark seas,
and build up some courage,
you are above the water,
don't let it bring to you discourage.
Words can express and
bring to you hope
When you are tired and
weary, and when you have to cope
These murky sea waters
may be your downfall,
A helping hand needed or
for someone to call,
just be assured
CHRIST IS THE ANSWER,
TO IT ALL!!!!

It takes Heart,
Heart, just to stand your ground,
To Be Confident, and to be bold,
So, Speak up, and stand proud,
Believe in your rights,
For, your days will be bright,
Continue to Shine, and
You will Be out of sight,
God is on your side, and
you will be Alright,
Some people will oppose,
Some people could be so cold,
Continue to Trust God,
For, your Blessings are Foretold,
It's gonna get rough, but
the going gets tough,
When people are slowful, and Lackadaisical,
You just keep on pushing, and
Your Blessings will flow,
So, don't give up,
get on your mark,
Just keep on believing,
because,
It takes Heart!!!!
