With Such a Marvelous,

As we are walking

As we stroll along

amazed at how dark

We will continue our
LOVELY NIGHT STROLL,
Like LOVE Under the

MANTRA OF 2024!!!
DON'T LET THOSE NEGATIVE VIBES, CREEP IN. JUST WISH IT AWAY WITH THESE ENCOURAGING WORDS!!!
Now you LAY YOURSELF down to SLEEP,
KNOWLEDGE is POWER these LYRICS are DEEP,
CLOSE YOUR EYES and COUNT THOSE SHEEP,
Don't make a SOUND, nor even a PEEP.
Close your eyes and GO TO BED,
Why you STILL UP???
"YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID!!"
If YOU'RE having a RESTLESS NIGHT,
Why don't you just START TO WRITE.
If you had a REALLY ROUGH DAY,
I suggest that YOU SHOULD PRAY,
Consult the LORD, HE'LL SEE YOU THROUGH,
WEARY and TIRED and FEELING SO BLUE,
Get on up, and START TO WRITE,
LIFT YOUR SPIRITS and FEEL DELIGHT
OTHERS, can use some INSPIRING,
WELL, so can you,
MOST DEFINITELY!!!
Rhyming on time LIKE FLOATRY,
LAYING DOWN LINES, have NO WORRIES!!!
A POSTITIVE ASPECT, OH YES INDEED
These line WILL ENCOURAGE,
OH CAN'T YOU SEE!!!
Now, this is my
NIGHTTIME POETRY!!!

The wave of the Oceans
as they crash into the rocks
With a powerful driven force
near the Ocean sea docks

The waves driving force that is
Driven by strong winds and
The Water waves rolling in and
out to sea again

As you sit or even stand
along the shoreline to explore,
discovering seaweed, starfish and seashells, along the wet sandy shores

On the beach you see a crab
as it crawls along the sand,
as you begin to enjoy the
shoreline while holding
sand in your hands

The Clashing tides of the high seas
are Traveling fast at top speed
as to a strong tsunami
Slowly rising up to your knees

A wonderful feeling to go
and explore the Oceans so deep
Along the shoreline to explore
The Oceans deepest peak

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!!!

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.
Like a VIAL of TOXICANTS!!
Do not try to CONSUME ME,
because I am made of POISON!!!
You just didn't see
When you DIED,
I didn't CHOOSE TO **** YOU,
IT was the DESTINY
that YOU HAD CHOSEN!!!
I TRIED TO WARN YOU,
But you just WOULDN'T LISTEN,
But you IGNORED my WARNING, and
YOU ARE NO LONGER LIVING!!!
Like SNOW WHITE BITING
into a POISONOUS APPLE,
within the APPLE the
POISON WAS HIDDEN,
like a VENOMOUS SNAKE,
you just got BITTEN!!!
STAY AWAY FROM ME,
my TOXINS ARE DEADLY!!!
But still would up DIEING,
even though you WEREN'T READY!!!
I TRIED TO FOREWARN YOU!!
NOW, YOU ARE NO LONGER ALIVE
GOT ME FEELING SAD AND BLUE, and
SO, TORN INSIDE!!!!
YOU KNEW that I WAS POISON
WHY DID YOU CONSUME ME???
YOU SHOULD'VE LEFT ME ALONE, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE!!!
YOU DIDN'T TAKE HEED OF
THE WORDS THAT I SAID!!!
AND NOW YOUR NOT BREATHING,
YOU ARE NOW DEAD!!!

Roses are Beautiful,
but, they have thorns.
You can walk through
a rose garden, and your
clothes could be tattered, and torn.
They are indeed Exquisite,
A gift made by nature,
be careful though as
you reach,
For, these thorns
tend to puncture
There very pointy, and
very sharp.
A whole garden full
of nature's
beautiful art
There beauty is sacred,
These Roses are adored,
but, beware of there prickles,
for these
Roses have Thorns!!!

I have come VERY, VERY FAR,
I REFUSE TO TURN AWAY,
Even with CUTS, BRUISES and SCARS.

I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR,
I have had MANY, MANY FIGHTS,
But, I STILL CONTINUED to STAND FIRM,
AND CONQUER THEM WITH ALL of  MY MIGHT!!!

Even with these OBSTACLES and BARRIERS,
I REFUSE to TURN AROUND and RETREAT,

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!!

Don't make a
SOUND, the settling
of COMPLETE STILLNESS,
So, QUIET that
you could
HEAR A PIN DROP,
The CALMNESS is SO EERIE,
it could make your
HEART STOP,
or even SKIP A BEAT,
the SOUND of
MICE SCURRYING,
along the
WOODEN FLOOR,
as you step and
the FLOOR CREAKS,
realizing that THE WOOD
floor PANEL IS WEAK,
The STILL of
the DARK in a
SILENT ROOM,
Where the only LIGHT
you have BEAMS
down from the MOON,
through your
WINDOW PANE,
The MOON ILLUMINATES
just so much
LIGHT,
ENABLING you could SEE,
As it SHINES THROUGH
the DARKNESS and
YOUR CALM and at EASE,
The ROOM is so STILL,
THE ROOM IS SO CALM, but
SOON MORNING SHALL ARRIVE
AS WE WELCOME
THE NEW DAWN!!!

In ORDER for you to COMPREHEND,

Sometimes I want to Choke you
Sometimes I want to Hug you
At times I want to Poke you
You make me want to Slap you
I Really want to Kick you
But just remember that
ALL the time I want to Love you 😍 ❤️  💕
But Sometimes I just can't stand you
Sometimes I get real agitated
At times you get on my case
Because of tensions your racking my nerves
You need to get outta my face
When Lonely your on my mind
I wanna be with you ALL the time
in Reality you will Find
I'm your Baby and you're Mine
But you get on my nerves

TEARS that FALL LIKE WATERFALLS,
are the TEARS THAT FALL
from your EYES,
are the RAINDROPS that RAIN
DOWN HEAVY,
from the CLOUDY HEAVENLY SKIES!!
So, let the TEARDROPS FALL like
WATERFALLS,
Just RELEASE and
LET THEM GO,
Like a CASCADE of WATER
THAT IS FALLING,
Just let the TEARDROPS FLOW!!
WATERFALLS CAN DRY OUT, from
NO RAIN that is CAUSED by DROUGHT,
NO MORE SUFFERING, and NO MORE FEARS,
SO, GO ON AND DRY THOSE TEARS!!

Note: If the Waterfalls can dry out, then
so can your tears!!!
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

The Breath of Life is a
Beautiful feeling,
If you are breathing air now,
It is Truly a Blessing!!!!

As they ALL COLLIDE and
DANCE IN SWEET HARMONY
DANCING around in CIRCLES,
PLAYFUL AS CAN BE.

The COLORS are so REMARKABLE,
as they do their COLORFUL DANCE,
It's so BEAUTIFUL and DELIGHTFUL,

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,

There are the
LITTLE THINGS
in LIFE,
we seem
to NOT REALLY NOTICE.
because of the
BIG THINGS
in LIFE,

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.

You were like (MY SHADOW),
OH WAIT!!!
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
and there she is:
MY SHADOWY FRIEND!!!

The DREAMER that DREAMS, and
that likes to EXPLORE,
INSPIRATION of IMAGINATIONS,
as to an EAGLE THAT SOARS,
The VISIONARY CAN IMAGINE
WHAT IS IN STORE
of the FUTURISTIC THINGS, and
so MUCH MORE
They SIT and they WONDER,
what is to become,
as they continue to IMAGINE,
What is UNDER THE SUN,
Hoping ONE DAY,
as well as it SEEMS,
Their VISIONS would COME TRUE
for ALL TO SEE!!!!

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

Just forget about YESTERDAY and FOCUS on TODAY IS THE MANTRA OF 2024!!!
Don't you know that
you are Loved??
Someone close to you,
does really care,
Someone wants you to
succeed in Life, and
if you're feeling down,
they will always be there!!
Someone out there
is on your side
Rooting you on
to keep hope alive.
Believing in you and
all of your desires
Praying and hoping
that they will transpire
Dreams and Aspirations,
Coming to light,
You Sparkle like a star
what a beautiful sight
You stared from the
bottom and it was rough
You Persevered and pursued and
You know that you're tough
Your Strength and Courage
came from high up above,
Someone up there Loves you,
So Remember:
You are Loved!!!
