Coffee flavored kisses say GoodĀ Morning.Ā 
I love it when you wake me up this way.
I pull you into the bed beside me.

I tease "How bout a roll in the hay?
"She smiles and laughs
"I'm allergic, but if you wanna stay in bed I'll play."

We kiss and tumble through the morning,
She whispers, "Hurry up we haven't got all day!"

I laugh, "Where you gotta be old woman?"
"Nowhere, but go faster anyway!"

I oblige her request,
she always brings out my best,
but as I lay back to rest.
She says,
"Get your *** up old man,
it's your turn to make the coffee!"

I smile, and do as I am told.
Today's gonna be a good day!
Coffee in the morning, no better way to start your day!
LOL
Well almost no better way!
Everything is temporary.
But as long as I live I will face the pain.
Sometimes I feel like I became the monster that I had to deal with all of my life.

I’m stuck again in noise and can’t do what I need to do.
I have to ā€œacceptā€ it.
Over and over.

Sometimes when I finally go outside and I look at the crowd I wonder:
What are we even doing?

All these themes, trends, events, things we do.
Some people are just going about their days.
Moment to moment.

For some it takes effort.
To get there.
Nothing is easy, nothing is ā€œnormalā€.
But then again ā€œnormal is a perceptionā€.

So it ā€œnaturalā€.
But things just don’t come natural to me.
Even though it makes sense in the end.

Most of the time I understand.
The balance that is created.
By forcing me to be stuck.

It's a question
Why do you not use this on yourself

Treason, your over budget.

FBI to the silence

Silence of the surrender

i split myself into a thousand pieces
my parents
my sister
my friends
they all know a different me
i choose which part of me i show and what to hide
but who am i when you put all the puzzle pieces together
isn’t that the person that you want to show

I am light in everything I do
In everything I say to myself
In everywhere I go

I am light in everything I do
The softness within me will never fade

In everything I say to myself
I believe it will come true

In everywhere I go
Each step I take is a quiet glow—
not for the world to remember me,
but to remind myself
that the light has always been within me.
I’m back once more.

I spent a long night contemplating which people to remove from my life, the ones who drag me down.
It’s time for a transformation in 2026, a chance to relieve the pressure in my chest.

Like a Maidenform bra that left an imprint,  
What a relief it is to let them go.  
My poem captures both my spoken and silent reflections.  
You may hear my island accent as you go through it.

This past year has been good for me, despite the COVID-19 pandemic that struck in 2020.  
I had a breakdown yesterday, but today I feel somewhat clear-headed. I can truly recognize certain people for who they are: bullies.

I’m refreshing my social circle for my new friends. I haven't shed many tears this year, as I’ve cut back on gambling and focused more on saving, which is positive. Unfortunately, my *** life has plummeted like the temperature in New York to freezing.

My poetry stays authentic and unrefined, yet my smile has grown friendlier towards strangers. I believe I’m starting to appreciate humanity again.

I still have a long journey ahead to rebuild something called trust. I spent another long night reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses.
Growing up, I cherished the biblical tales that resonated with me.
In many instances, the weaker characters are often taken advantage of by the stronger ones; being vulnerable can lead to exploitation, diminishing our self-worth and power. For what? A fleeting moment of intimacy?

Did you notice my tears in my writing? No?
It's not about what you glance at, but rather what you perceive—Thoreau.(quote)

While you gaze up at the ceiling, mulling over your thoughts, the three parts of your brain are functioning together.  
Nevertheless, weaknesses can cause them to drift apart, making me feel as if I have lost touch with myself.

Today is for me to hear my voice. Farewell, my lover; greetings, new friends. Hello, new friends.
