Meander
TheConcretePoet Mar 2021
I surrender to feelings of which I crave,
the thoughts of chance and misbehave.
I surrender tears of love and pain,
memories raw, unfiltered, invade my brain.
I surrender now, I have weakened some,
once the might of many, now just one.
I surrender to the inevitable, I see because I must,
my faith and love in you, I trust.

I have 20/20 vision
TheConcretePoet Oct 2019
I watch as a lifeless limb drifts down the river of life.
I watch as a storm cloud races across an otherwise empty sky of blue.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch a brilliant flame extinguished and waft away a wisp of smoke.
I watch as a leaf falls from its tree never to be one again.

I watch these things, I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch as raindrops fall from the sky,
I watch them nourish God's green earth.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the firefly bring light to the evening sky,
I watch the spider spin its masterpiece,

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the sun fall beneath the horizon as darkness takes up residence.
I watch the moon but just one half, the other half playfully hides.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the bird out on the wire and marvel at its balance.
I watch as stars fight to outshine one another in a beautifully moonlit sky.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the envious, as green as the first summer's day,
I watch their greenness turn to red, as rage has now consumed them.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the homeless sift through trash,
I watch this as my heart is heavy, my eyes begin to water.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch the evil get rewarded and carry on unscathed.
I watch the good have to fight epic battles just to live another day.

I watch these things , I watch....
I always watch these things.

I watch a mother hug their newborn,
I watch the cycle of this life,

I watch these things , I watch ....
I always will watch these things!

"Relationship in colors"

You've always been my blue
The way the sky just pours down on me and you

You've always been my pink
Delicate and mesmerizing, you cause well built ships to sink

You've always been my yellow
The sunflower that lovingly greets me goodbye and hello

You've always been my green
Walking along side thee, heads turn attentively, in envy

You've always been my white
Crisp, clean and angelic, for your love I will fight

You've always been violet
Your love is like purple rain and the only love that is climactic in the quiet

You've always been my black
In the night time you are naughty but beautiful light you never lack

You've always been my orange
My favorite color and a love that I keep in storage

You've always been my red
You're a red rose and the definition of love that keeps me never lonely in my bed

You've always been my brown
You have the love that I wish, to never put down

I just wrote this.
Colors, their vibrancy and meaning are unique to all of us.
Write your own?

I love you all.
Good morning

silent realization
TheConcretePoet Feb 2021
silence
during a
storm
is louder
than any
thunder

nothing more
than past
acquaintances
apparently...
no
wonder

my memory
is steadfast
and keen

actions
of silence,
to harvest,
to glean

much is
learned
from
silence
during
a storm

appearing
in
reality's
form....

quietly in
the dirt,
the silent
present
themselves
as worms

prey for
the birds
watching
from
the trees

in turn,
it's
flipped
script
misery....

there
will now be
absolute
silence
from me

If darkness can get darker,
I've been there.
Not once or twice.
Darkness being midnight,
a pack of wolves surrounded I have dared.
Fear of my own mortality has long been at nil.
I carry two legs of the enormously labored,
and eyes that bare witness to an unwanted hill.
In death I want my spirit to finally lay most perfectly still.

Unselfish wisdom
TheConcretePoet Jul 2021
What about me?
L👀k at me.

This:
Is
A human beings
predictable
selfish behavior.

It seeps out

It oozes out
of some.

When we stop
putting so much
emphasis,
so much energy
into worrying;

what about me?

That's when you
have arrived.
That's when you
have figured
out life.

Look around you.
There is so much
happening
around you,
besides you.

Stop making
life just
about you.

That's the
best way of
failing
at life.

We all have
mountains
to climb.

You can get
to the top by
remaining
humble
and kind.

my first night in icu
TheConcretePoet Aug 2020
my life has changed forever

from normal, my everyday life now does sever

july 4th weekend, fireworks were going off inside of me

my racing heart had finally brought me to bended knee

afib, supraventricular tachycardia...

congestive heart failure was my flava'

rushed to the icu...

sign these here papers the doctor asked me to do

we've exhausted all medicines, all of them we've went through

i ask, can i call my wife in case i never speak to her again

there was no answer, it was the most scared and alone i ever felt then

icu doctors huddled and staring at me like i am a mystery

they shock me and send thousands of volts of electricity through me

the paddles burn and welt
my chest and back

my room filled with chaos it certainly did not lack

bells and alarms made my ears want to cry

lying there thinking....it was my time to die.

If I laid next to her,
I know that I would want more.

'Cause, when I look at her,
all of her,
I get these feelings inside of me that are unique,
feelings within my deepest core that only she seems to kindle.

It's a fire,
a warmth,
that always seems to exist inside me, whenever she is in my presence whether it is mid summer or winter.

I fantasize of one day holding her tightly, greedily while I am awake at work or deep within my sleep.

I just want to know if what I am feeling is....
