Dreams

Don’t let one bad day
Entice you to throw your dreams away
Because they could come true
On any given day
At any given time
In any given way
All you need is to believe
Because we need our dreams to feed
Our souls
Fuel our hearts
Nourish our minds
Lead us to the place we see
When we close our eyes
And drift away from reality
And visualize
What could be

Patience is the deep breath you take when you just can’t take it anymore

It’s the rhythmic beating of your heart when you are around someone you adore

Patience is not settling for anything less than your goals

Patience is a standoff between your mind body and soul

Patience is that calming feeling you get when you come off the ultimate high

Patience is the warm feeling you get from staring at the clear blue sky, smelling The spring rain, listening to the birds chirp, watching them fly by

Patience is a virtue this is true

Patience is the way the person who truly loves you feels about you.

The most unselfish thing you can do
Is give another a part of you
Not just because they need it
But because you want to
That type of investment
Of ones time
Never creates a deficit
You never loose a dime
When you give a piece of you
Often you will find
That the return on that investment
Enriches you in a way
That make you internally wealthy
Every single day

When you pass me on the street
Please don’t judge me by what you see
Judge me by the inner me
The one that wants the world to be
A better place for all to be

Free of crime and poverty
Filled with joy and honesty
Free of hate and jealousy
Filled with love and prosperity

On judgement day when they come for me
These are the values I want them to see
For they are the inner me

I love the crossroads between
Imperfection and figuring it out
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel
Killer of self doubt
Liberation for the imagination
A path forward...a new day
To do life in your own unique way

All I need is a reason to write and I can bring my deepest thoughts to life
in the form of a poem, so they shine in the darkest of night

Every notion is mixed with potion and laced with emotion. Where do they start? They are conceived  in my mind but grow in my heart

They take birth in 3 phases. The 1st  is letters scattered like random chatter, you can’t make them out. In the 2nd, letters come together to form words with no meaning, but move about. By the 3rd phase the words have matured and begin to take form. In that stage a poem is born to forever live on a page

Every poem is its own, with its own distinct features. Though no two are alike they should all be treated equal

You hurt
But you don’t make it worse
Your words set people free
At times you are a revelation
During darker moments
You are hard to see
You are oil and water to your counterpart
You refuse to lie
Even when you sleep
You are the vessel
That carries love to the heart
You are the joy that people seek
YOU ARE THE TRUTH
And you carry a badge of pride
And police our reality
