"realising" poems
vicious revenge feel its strain. Engrained forever on a decaying brain. For its a plague with no andetote. No cure. Nothings sacred. nothings pure. No honor here to gain but a grasp of guilt, sorrow and pain. A trench deep seated with animosity. Hearts too blinded by hatred to see. Its walls engulfing like vines round a tree. But no vegeance shall set you free. In realising its errors and fate The soul desperately searches to escape. Weary, hollow, it longs to retire But hatred enslaves as its walls grow higher For this is one prison sentence that will never transpire.. If you fight fire with fire.

Revenge
*I am an African My skin is black My hair is black I am black I take pride in my blackness For my colour is not a badge Of shame, but an identity, Yes black is my identify Africa is my identity I am the son  of the black soil, A soil rich in history And blessed with diverse cultures Each unique in their own way, I am an African Africa a nation of the oppressed But slowly rising to conquer And claim what is theirs From the oppressors, Yes the sleeping sons of Jacob Are rising,  slowly realising Their potential as nation , Yes my fellow Africans are rising The black nation is on its knees I'm a proud african, Africa my roots Africa my identity Africa my ancestral land Africa my home Africa is who i am I am African Copyrights.

happiness...is everything. Happiness isnt based on money and sometimes not even on what you're doing. Its about who your with. its about living with no regrets And realising that a bad thing will last a few months, so who cares if he doesnt ask you out? who cares what your parents catch doing with the one who does? and who cares what anyone says about you. Happiness is taking a risk and it pays off and even if it doesnt another oppurtunity presents itself. happiness is staying up all night with your frends. happiness is water fights on late summer evenings. happiness is love....lust only gives moments of happiness to the fact you cant believe you have that person...love leaves you eternally in wonder of how you ended up feeling so right. happiness is being with your friends and wearing crazy *** hats in public happiness is seeing a familiar face in nevr ending sea of lies. happiness is no homework happiness is having tickle fights with the one you love happiness is lying in the sun looking at the clouds happiness is doing wat you want to do happiness is helping one another happiness if giving all of you no matter how much you recieve in return happiness is being able to speak your mind happiness is knowing you have earnt all the praise you get and being able to say thank you...not going red, studying your shoelaces and bringing yourself down happiness is confidence happiness is working hard for something happiness is being wateva you want and not caring what anyone says...you only get to live once..you will nevr live it down if you're on your deathbed and you realise that you've spent your whole life being what everyone else wanted you to be. living a lie happiness is finding out who you are happiness is coming home and your parents ask you how your day was...evn if u jst grunt back happiness is singing in the shower as loud as you can...i mean showers hav that magical power that means no-one else can hear you...rite? happiness is not being afraid to say someone is hot...it makes u all giggly...saying someone is good looking doesnt neccessarily mean you want them happiness is feeling safe happiness is feeling wanted happiness is feeling at peace with yourself happiness is feeling that someone always has your back happiness is when something isnt funny..but your so happy to see someone that u cant stop smiling happiness is that one thing you can nevr really express to someone...its like a drug, it makes you do crazy things...its make you feel ontop of the world. this made me happy knowing that peopl will read this and feel happy it made me happy because i made a good attempt to describe something that can nevr be completely decribed. happiness is the one thing that keeps you going when you're like the single flowers whose colours hav turned to shades of grey i cant explain this happiness

The world is in a dead awkward silence everyone looked at the aggressive brutality and cruel violence They wondered to themselves how did they get here without even realising there were people pulling their strings like a masquerade puppeteer Can you imagine a world without anything but just broken gravel? Living in fear of just catching nothing but just the common cold rattle Growing up to learn the destroyed world and be nothing but just to grow old.. Change the time of you which you live in now technology just complicates our lives and our true knowledge Before everything just becomes nothing but bitterness and displease will it then maybe shock you? And come ten times worst as respiratory disease

Dystopian Destruction
related to childhood emotional abuse or neglect... not to be confused with derealization or 'fantasy prone personality' maladaptive daydreaming is seeing your face when I fall asleep at night or hearing your voice in a children's store "Come look! Look at these shoes!", and seeing you scramble at a pair of sandals Big brown eyes begging me to buy them as "an early birthday present, just this once." Maladaptive daydreaming is blinking and not even having time to register the fact that you'd disappeared and I was standing alone in the children's shoe aisle, on my knees holding a pair of sandals and feeling that same twist in my gut that I did on the day the papers were signed and my passport was stamped, to get on a plane to another country without so much as waving goodbye Maladaptive daydreaming is crying through anti-abortion rhetoric and sympathising with teenage mothers it's seeing you smile behind a nikon camera, calling "Look at this pretty picture I took! See, see?" and then realising that I was only smiling at a fallen camera in the sand Maladaptive daydreaming is regretting a choice I didn't make it's steeling my jaw at immature jokes and relating to all those children raising children Maladaptive daydreaming is regretting giving up a daughter I never had

maladaptive daydreaming
*Being alone doesn't hurt me neither does loneliness. What really hurts is realising that I should be with you right now yet we are trapped in the spokes of this absurdity, and karma just seems happy to see us worlds apart, dying of nostalgia What hurts is missing you.*

It was but was not god nor  goddess. It was but was not deva nor devi. It was but was not angel nor demon. It was but was not metaphysical being of any kind. It was but had not any name nor could it be named. It was but had not any  face nor likeness. It was but had not any body or corporeal state. It was but had not any form nor lack of form. It was but not incarnate nor disincarnate. It was but was not existent nor non-existent. It was but could be described in words in any way. It was but had not depth nor height nor breadth nor volume. It was  but could not be measured in any way. It was but had not materiality of any kind. It was but had not immateriality of any kind. It was but had not space nor lack  of space. It was but had not direction nor lack  of direction. It was but had not nothingness. It was  but had not somethingness. It was but had not anythingness. It was but had not beingness. It was but not Isness or non-Isness. It was but had not light nor dark. It was but had not wetness nor dryness. It was but was not nowhere. It was but was not nowhere. It was but was not somewhere. It was but was not anywhere. It was and then It manifested the nature of Its essence and became the universe and all that was in the universe. All that was incarnate and disincarnate. All that was physical and metaphysical. All that was existent and non-existent. And still It was. It manifested Itself in ignorance of Its own nature as the Isness of the Universe, in order to participate in the existence It had created from Its own essence,on an equal and fair level with humanity. It gave of its own essence by putting a small piece of its own essence--the individual Isness-which is equal and autonomous and individual and independent--into all human bodies,both female and male,at conception. And It made humans ignorant of their nature--the  individual Isness-- as It  made itself ignorant of Its own nature. And then It set humans and Itself the Riddle of the Existence that had come from Its manifestation of its nature as the universe and all that was in it. It posed these three questions to humanity and to Itself. 1--Who am I?. 2--Why am I here?. 3--When I knowhow I am then what is my purpose?. Who am I?. Like all humans,and for the sake of fairness, It manifested Itself  into ignorance of its own nature also. The Isness of the Universe set humans the task of realising their own nature--which is the individual Isness--as an equal individual autonomous and independent part of the essence of the Isness of the Universe,so that they could then show the Isness of the Universe Its own essence and then share existence together. The principle governing Its action in creating the universe and all it contains, especially humanity,was that before you can reach the heights of existence you must go through the depths of existence. Why am I here?. Obviously I am here to answer the first question. After answering the first question --which can only be done existentially and not intellectually-- there would then be the third question to be answered. The answer to the first question lies in regaining your existential nature--the individual Isness--as a small but equal,independent, individual,nameless,formless,genderless and non-physical Isness formed from the Isness of the Universe which is free from Mind and Conditioned Identity. The answer  does  NOT lie in amassing the false knowledge of all "religions" and "political systems  that the Mind and Conditioned Identity have created in order to mislead the individual Isness from realising ,existentially,its true nature. The Isness of the Universe  did not want a world of maniputed puppets,as the Mind/Conditioned Identity,does but in order to achieve fairness in solving the Riddle of Existence,it gave humanity these attributes and the ability to live out their opposites.

SONNET TRIBUTE: RINA D. VARGAS-MALIG
Why is it that we are always wanting time to pass quickly? We're constantly watching the clock, waiting for the minutes to fly by But we never look at what it really represents At how every minute that passes Is a minute of your life that won't ever come back Can't ever be recovered As it is lost in the hands of a clock that is forever ticking Counting down every second Every minute Every hour of the rest of our lives. Each time we look at a clock Watching the hands slowly tick by We never do realise the meaning of what it is actually counting down to. For it isn't really counting that one meeting you don't want to go to Or that single maths period that feels like it will never end. No. That clock is actually counting down towards the final moments of the best times of our lives The ones that we take advantage of without even realising it Whether it's our years in school, Or the last few years of our childhood. The final few days you have left to spend with a loved one, Or the true bliss of your first real relationship. You see, through the good times and the bad The smiles, the tears and the laughs The times that you never really want to end, And the ones you wish were over in a heartbeat; This clock will be forever in the back of your mind Counting down the hours, minutes, seconds Towards the end. And it's only then that you realise That you wish to turn it back and start again. But you don't know how And those last few hours that you have left Won't be spent looking at a clock. But instead will be used to look over every single moment of your life From the beginning to the end. And it's only then, that the clock will finally stop ticking.

Narcissist Love
I definitely won’t make any apologies for saying this and if anyone isn't careful she’ll leave them in a ditch. But don't get me wrong, I am not referring to any woman by that name only to the powers of deception that are played within the devil's game.                      When you consider how much trouble she has caused; without a moment’s lapse or of one repentant paused, in human affairs over the years since the advent of man; it’s a wonder that she hasn’t yet been flushed in the pan. In case you might just be wondering what I’m talking about Maya is the female equivalent of Satan who is a **** lout, and who plays around deceiving anyone that ignores the Truth which has been ingrained in our mind and heart since our youth. In fact anything that is Divine, noble, good and of inestimable worth Maya will try to turn it around into a thing seeming of much less birth. She thus plays around with our emotions causing one to doubt and fear where the reality of a situation would be to have faith and some cheer. Her main battle is waged within a vulnerable human heart and mind especially when an individual is undergoing difficulties of any kind. She is also the one who arouses anger, jealousy, lust, greed and pride, being full of all those traits herself and more she projects them outside. We must try and be aware of the extent of her subtle delusion and escape any entanglement in the net of her worldly illusion; that so many people are now caught up in without their real knowing not realising that Love and Truth are the things most worth showing. ______________________________

Almost 3 years. That’s all it took, 3 years for me to fall in love with you. We never became anything, it was because I never wanted us to be. I wasted every single thing you gave me. I threw away the flowers you gave me for my birthday because of the reason I thought they were too cliche, I crumpled the love letters you wrote for me for I didn’t want your words to be my medicine, I never accepted the love you were giving me because I refuse to let anyone in. And after 3 years, I realised that I also needed flowers not just thorns, that I was suffering from taking poison for years because I never took your medicine and that sometimes it would be great to let someone in. You gave everything to me, your eyes somehow managed to have some light in them whenever they saw me but I killed the light and turned it into darkness, you do not own your smile anymore since you gave it to me but I returned it to you that’s why right now all you could ever do is frown because I erased it from you, and you gave me your entire universe but unfortunately I wasn’t interested in cosmology back then. But now? There is nothing I want to study but your universe and all that’s revolving around it. I did all of those things,  maybe that’s why you became the first word of this paragraph. You became my almost, and not just an ordinary one, but an almost that I could never ever forget. We were the children of love, however timing wants us to be orphans.  Just when I started realising my love for you, you found yourself. You built your own universe and your smile became even more happier than before, your eyes speak a thousand words now, they are no longer the ones I wasted. I would do anything if I could ever just turn back time, I would hold you and tell you that I feel the same, I would give you all the things you gave me, I would do anything for you. Too many could have been, should have been, and what ifs. But nothing could ever change what is happening, perhaps it’s right for me to feel this, to feel this pain, the pain that I gave you. Love wanted us to feel the same. Timing does too, but the difference is timing wants us to feel the same pain. I don’t want to beg you to love me, or to stay, or to do everything just to bring back the flames because baby all I am about to do is to hope.  I will not hope for you,  but I will hope for days. I hope for the day everything would finally be okay. I hope for the day that we are both happy, and that we are ready to make each other happier. I hope for the day that we can both see the moon in our eyes and the sun in our smiles. I hope for the day that we are both prepared to let each other in, and that we are no longer cowards but brave people. I hope for the day that we are finally exploring each other's universe and we will both realise that is the only thing we would ever want to study. I hope for the day our fire will warm us both instead of burning us to death. I hope your water will cleanse me and mine will make you feel alive instead of drowning each other because of our deep oceans. I hope for the day that we can finally heal one another instead of destroying each other. I hope for the day that we consider each other to be our home, not just some place you can go to because you don’t have anywhere else to stay. I hope that we will no longer fight the hurricanes and storms we gave to each other, because one day, we would conquer them, hand in hand, together.  I hope for the day that you are no longer my almost, but my always.  And maybe, one day, timing will be our friend not our foe, or maybe we would even be strong enough to fight it, but right now we aren’t even strong enough to fight for our love. I will hope for these days to come, I will hope for these things to happen, I will hope for everything. Because that’s the only thing I could do right now.

an open letter to my favourite almost
Almost 3 years. That’s all it took, 3 years for me to fall in love with you. We never became anything, it was because I never wanted us to be. I wasted every single thing you gave me. I threw away the flowers you gave me for my birthday because of the reason I thought they were too cliche, I crumpled the love letters you wrote for me for I didn’t want your words to be my medicine, I never accepted the love you were giving me because I refuse to let anyone in. And after 3 years, I realised that I also needed flowers not just thorns, that I was suffering from taking poison for years because I never took your medicine and that sometimes it would be great to let someone in. You gave everything to me, your eyes somehow managed to have some light in them whenever they saw me but I killed the light and turned it into darkness, you do not own your smile anymore since you gave it to me but I returned it to you that’s why right now all you could ever do is frown because I erased it from you, and you gave me your entire universe but unfortunately I wasn’t interested in cosmology back then. But now? There is nothing I want to study but your universe and all that’s revolving around it. I did all of those things,  maybe that’s why you became the first word of this paragraph. You became my almost, and not just an ordinary one, but an almost that I could never ever forget. We were the children of love, however timing wants us to be orphans.  Just when I started realising my love for you, you found yourself. You built your own universe and your smile became even more happier than before, your eyes speak a thousand words now, they are no longer the ones I wasted. I would do anything if I could ever just turn back time, I would hold you and tell you that I feel the same, I would give you all the things you gave me, I would do anything for you. Too many could have been, should have been, and what ifs. But nothing could ever change what is happening, perhaps it’s right for me to feel this, to feel this pain, the pain that I gave you. Love wanted us to feel the same. Timing does too, but the difference is timing wants us to feel the same pain. I don’t want to beg you to love me, or to stay, or to do everything just to bring back the flames because baby all I am about to do is to hope.  I will not hope for you,  but I will hope for days. I hope for the day everything would finally be okay. I hope for the day that we are both happy, and that we are ready to make each other happier. I hope for the day that we can both see the moon in our eyes and the sun in our smiles. I hope for the day that we are both prepared to let each other in, and that we are no longer cowards but brave people. I hope for the day that we are finally exploring each other's universe and we will both realise that is the only thing we would ever want to study. I hope for the day our fire will warm us both instead of burning us to death. I hope your water will cleanse me and mine will make you feel alive instead of drowning each other because of our deep oceans. I hope for the day that we can finally heal one another instead of destroying each other. I hope for the day that we consider each other to be our home, not just some place you can go to because you don’t have anywhere else to stay. I hope that we will no longer fight the hurricanes and storms we gave to each other, because one day, we would conquer them, hand in hand, together.  I hope for the day that you are no longer my almost, but my always.  And maybe, one day, timing will be our friend not our foe, or maybe we would even be strong enough to fight it, but right now we aren’t even strong enough to fight for our love. I will hope for these days to come, I will hope for these things to happen, I will hope for everything. Because that’s the only thing I could do right now.

We sat together, Staring up. A cover of white. Wondering to ourselves "Will we ever take flight?" We could be the paper planes That we've always dreamed of being. Soaring High above the sky. Not realising. The yearning for more. Learning and growing. Thinking. Stopping. Breathing. We sat together Wanting to be more, Like the paper planes. The ones we love. The ones that soar.

invisibility
Did you know that since I met you I haven’t finished a single cup of coffee, or had a dream that I could remember or gone to bed the same day that I got up? I’m not complaining mind you. I just find it intriguing the little things you have changed in my life without even realising it, without any effort. My life used to be mostly empty, as in devoid of things, vacuous perhaps, if that means like a vacuum. I mean there was lots of space in it that wasn’t filled with anything in particular. But you have managed to fill all of that nothingness up. The times when I used to sit here and daydream about nothing, suddenly there you are. When I close my eyes before going to sleep and used to spend on average seven minutes thinking of nothing (and that a scientific fact not one I made up) I now spend (on average) seven minutes thinking about you. In that fraction of a second when breathing in turns to breathing out, there you are. In that fraction of a second when I blink, its you I see. Because its you I yearn for. Because its you I want to have and hold and kiss and caress and so much more that I dare not write, even in a poem. But how? How did you do this? How did you invade my very psyche, my soul, my spirit so completely so effortlessly and with such subtlety that I never even noticed. Until I noticed. And its not like I noticed you were here and watched as you spread to there but you were suddenly everywhere. Places no one else had ever been before. Ever. Places that people I had known for much longer and much more intimately had never been able to reach. And yet there you are. Sitting on a swing. Waiting. I just wish I knew what for.

Mobile phone Apple I pad Are these great inventions Or are they bad? Face book Twitter Take all our time I refuse to succumb There not taking mine Then there's face time Available to see Whoever you like But they won't see me People like sheep go on line Not realising Just how much time That they have wasted Nothing gained Many have been bullied Many brought to shame There's a lack of privacy Lack of respect Being projected We therefore must protect Our self preservation Dignity pride Or you may just find Your washed up With the tide Sure I'm not alone in thinking Life was a slower Pace Before  Internet intervention And mobile phone took their place .....

Whilst camouflaged The Golden Dragonfly With emerald eyes And rubies, and diamonds Upon it's wings, and tail Slept And whilst it slept It dreamed And within its dream It wandered Flying over a turquoise pool The Golden Dragonfly Began to ponder On its existence And wondered why It was a dragonfly But then she saw her own reflection On the soft rippling blue water As she became aware Of her own beauty And instantly found An inner tranquility Just at that moment As is the way of dreams A long rolling tongue Shot out And swallowed the Golden Dragonfly whole The frog Had no other thought Than to feast The Golden Dragonfly Then woke up Relieved That it had only been a dream But now Also aware That it now had conscious thought Beyond its natural instinct And at first Felt quite afraid Looking around its surroundings First making sure That there were no frogs around It glanced up And realised It was attached To the outer skin Of a curious looking creature Some kind of giant With hair flowing In the soft zephyr breeze And without realising Spoke to the giant "What are you?" The giant Looking startled Had obviously wondered Where the small voice was coming from The Golden Dragonfly Spoke again "Are you going to eat me?" The giant Then realised where The voice was coming from Looked around before answering Whispered, "No!" The Golden Dragonfly Accepted that this was at least true "My name is Lucianne" said the Golden Dragonfly Not knowing, until that moment That she had a name "My name is Petra" said the giant With the long flowing hair "I don't understand how it is possible to be conversing with a dragonfly" The Golden Dragonfly Felt the same confusion As it had never conversed with anything, ever And never had questions to ask But now The questions came quicker Than her wing beats The giant spoke again "You are welcome to remain on my waistcoat" "And we can speak more, when we get to my home" At that moment A sudden gust of wind Blew the Golden Dragonfly Off the waistcoat Into some dense undergrowth And within this undergrowth Sat a frog And in an eye blink A long rolling tongue shot out And swallowed the Golden Dragonfly Whole The giant, named Petra Searched the undergrowth For several hours Shouting out for Lucianne Other giants around Became concerned When Petra explained That she was looking for A talking Golden Dragonfly called Lucianne Petra would often return to the park But never again Did she see, or hear The Golden Dragonfly again by Jemia

Sitting in a corner A cigarette lit up in her hand Recurring scenes of mayhem One test worse than the last A breaking point She had enough A gun in one hand Decisions to be made A kiss to the weapon Dropping the danger Lifted herself from the hiding spot Moving on *Realising She is only going to keep falling Attacks will keep coming Weapons will keep appearing But she will always be laying them down* That will make her The badass I love

Empowerment is to stop begging you to come home, self love is realising a soulmate would never leave you alone, happiness is letting the loneliness fade, fulfilment is realising the best lives are self made.

I was mad. I was mad about being second best. I was mad about taking a second place in your heads. I was mad about what you discussed behind my back. I was mad about realising how mad it all made me become. I was sad. I was sad about how excluded you made me feel. I was sad about how vulnerable I had let myself become. I was sad about not feeling as important to you anymore. I was sad because I felt so alone without you. With you. I was tired. I was tired of seeing them push me aside. I was tired of being interrupted for your gains. I was tired of being used to broaden your shoulders And widen your egos I was tired of seeing her face and hearing you laugh at her words. I was wounded. Wounded because you left me all alone when I needed you. Wounded because you chose them over me. And her. Wounded because I had finally found my place and they took it from me. Wounded because my mistakes were haunting me. Wounded because you were hurting me, neglecting me, rejecting me. Now you've come back to me. Come back like I predicted. Come back like none of this ever happened. Come back like she was never here. Like I never asked you that question. Come back like we were never different. Come back like my heart is still yours and yours is still mine. And now you smile at me, Talk to me, Laugh at me like nothing ever happened, nothing ever changed. Like we will still remain The same And I don't know what to think anymore Other than what love is made of.

Once upon a time was a girl named Candy Sweet as a flower and loved all so much. She was granted a wish by a fairy named Mandy that turned into candy all that she touched. The town was filled with the sweets of Candy the rocks and the houses and bicycles too. Candy would say that the world was just dandy! parading the streets in her candy suede shoes. But everything ends and also for Candy when all that she touched would turn into sweets. Realising a candy-lover's not handy she walked alone on candy-cobbled streets. And loneliness came like a night over Candy crying skittles she soon went insane. She cursed the wish she was granted by Mandy as she crumbled and cracked like a candy cane. For the rest of the year the children ate candy the rocks and the houses and bicycles too. The children would say that the world was just dandy and the last sweet they shared was a candy suede shoe.
