Munting hiram na buhay,                             When will this rented kelan pa yayaon?                                            lifetime pass? Pina-walang kabuluhan                                Time has taken   ang oras na lumipas.                                      the sense of things. Panahon na sinaksi                                         I have witnessed pawang di akin sarili.                                    what is not mine. Kelan ang katapusan?                                    When will this end? Sa oras ng pagtanggap                                   In accepting ng tinig mo? Irog,                                            your voice? My dear, ika'y aking kamatayan.                                   you are my death. Ano ang pinangakong                                    Where is payapa at galak,                                               peace and joy kung puso'y sumisikap                                   if the heart still toils sa inaasahang pangarap?                                towards it's endeavors? Kelan mabubuksan                                          When will I unlock ang pagkakataon ng pangakong                    the promise ligaya mula sa kamay mo?                              from your hands? Di pa sapat ang pagsunod?                             Is compliance not enough? Asan na ang hinanap pangarap na ligaya,      Where is happiness mula sa pawis, pagnanasa?                               sought with sweat and desire Gawin ang lahat                                                  of risking all                 sa anumang konsekwnsya?                               no matter what? Sino ako? Taong                                               Who am I? so presumptive mapangahas sa sariling kalooban,                 of my own will, ligaw sa ilang,                                                   lost in the wild, lasing sa layaw,                                                  drunk for indulgence, lulon sa kadiliman at kawalan.                        drowned into its depths. ano ako sa Yo?                                                   what am i to You? yapak.                                                                 footprints. alabok.                                                                dust. pinag-duraang basura ng lansangan.            garbage spit in the street. Ginawa mo aking kapalaran,                           You made me thus, palayok at pinggan.                                           as a clay *** Sa yong kagustuhan                                          Transformed and used tadhanang pupuntahan.                                    for what you forge. Aking tanggap                                                    I accept kawalan ng karapatan,                                      lost of rights, pagsuko ng kalayaan,                                       surrendered freedom, layag sa kagustuhan,                                         adrift from wants, yaong kababaan.                                                and lowly. Paglisan ng sarili, bihag                                    when i abandon myself, as Your at lingkod mo,                                                      captive and servant nawa'y malaya sa mundo.                                  may i be free of this world.

Bakwit sa Sarili / Refuge from myself
Munting hiram na buhay,                             When will this rented kelan pa yayaon?                                            lifetime pass?

I’m sick of hearing my life’s a haiku. I’m into magic, love, and other sorts of things that are typically voodoo. I’m half ***** from a half assed absent African baby boomer brat. I’m half white trash. Here’s a well formed of dried tears turned into something to sooth my canine teeth. It tastes like Moonshine. I can’t swim anymore, so I’m here drowning in a concrete pool. Always, I look for the hell in you. I sharpen my boot knife for ****** assault protection. The first swipes for the plus 200,000 in counting. The seconds for the 66 percent underreported. The lasts for me, the 29 percent victims aged 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12. We have a higher rate of risking everything. For depression x3. For committing suicide x4. For post traumatic stress disorder x6. For alcohol abuse x13. For drug abuse x26. You all think I’m crazy, I’m not. I sometimes get called stupid, ugly, ***** and thot. I’m in pain, in sorrow. I can’t help it. He did it. No one can undo it. What do we do about it? I wont scream, I won't cry. I’ll ask how he’s doing with glitter and tears in the corner of my eye. And after he's done molesting me, "Want to go grab some coffee or tea?" Personally, I like the cafe down the street. They sell good brunch with amazing croissants. And after this is over, I’d ask him how it was while he turned me over.

//Modest Proposal
A Muslim boy with a clock Is seen as a terrorist with a glock Maybe i'm right, maybe i'm wrong But if he were White, Asian, Hispanic or even Pacific Islander Nobody would of suspected anything. When are we going to stop fearing an entire race for only a portion radical and illogical ways of treating others? I don't tolerate people who behead others if they don't agree with their religion I don't agree with the repressive governments that control everyone and stone them for minor misdemeanors There are good men out there fighting this evil that has plagued their homelands I'm all for ending terrorism of all kinds But let's stop terrorism of innocents too Sure, i'm afraid of what the radicals will do to their own people, my people and the rest of the world But i'll be dammed if i treated somebody from the Middle East like a monster when i don't even know who they are If it wasn't for a Middle Eastern girl The Syrians girls wouldn't have an improved education If it wasn't for a Middle Eastern man fending off the Taliban and risking his entire village to keep Marcus Littrell alive He would of been KIA a long time ago. What about the ones who fought and died for America? Nobody ever mentions them The media wants me to hate them all, but i laugh and shake my head Warped minds trying to warp others I only see the ones who want to do us harm, and the ones who want to live peacefully and away from a life of hell Brothers and sisters, just a different culture and skin color I'm sorry if America seems racist or hateful, but i'm proud to be the one who throws those two words in the trash Because i'm not afraid to speak my mind And i welcome everyone here America is everyone's home. If only the Soviet Union never invaded Afghanistan If only the people were not scared To be free like America. Unity for all, Religious differences and Cultures alike. I hope one day a Muslim man or Woman can walk down an American street without being labeled as a terrorist. I hope one day these repressive governments fall into the hands of democracy And we start the Age of Unity again.

People cheat, people lie To get ahead or just to get by. They do it out of deemed necessity or have made it a successful habit. Some would feel bad, but some wouldn't lose sleep over it. Some lie to protect... Some lie to infect... With little remorse or full blown guilt. Either way risking all they've built. A lie is an accessory that most tend to abuse. A convenient mask for the ugly truth that most would misuse. Lies are... The bane of relationships Destroyer of trust... Conveyed by irresponsible lips. So have I ever lied? Have I ever desecrated honesty's pride? Have I ever wielded it to save others from harm? Have I ever employed it to boost my charm? No I haven't, now that's a lie... Spouted that so easily, I didn't even need to try... Honestly, YES I HAVE. **I am no exception... I am no saint, I'm only human**... with an ill sense of direction. I have lied... How about you? Search deep inside... You know you have too...

The sounding alarm starts the frenzy I hurry myself to shower and dress Slowing just for a moment To strategically place fragrant surprises For later explorations. Accelerating with all urgency I weave through the blockade of traffic Risking it all to preserve Each second, each minute, every moment of time For my waiting infatuation Flushes of excitement consume me As I near my destination I am overwhelmed with pulsating urges As I search for a way to impress you Show advanced appreciation Welcomed with a sensual eagerness Each of us knowing and wanting I ask "Can I play you a tune?" A Love song plays to a faintness As you bring me to satisfaction Then, Ascending to kiss me softly You wish me a good day at work. Wiping excess from your chin You smile and say "See you tomorrow." © Tina Thompson

They say eyes never lie. But how can I know, when yours are always closed? When you're always blocking out the world? Never opening up, or risking being exposed? How can I know, if truth is what you speak? when your eyes, never tell a thing?

Closed eyes. Lies?
It is nestled deep inside the fertile Shenandoah Valley. There is a river that runs amok like a rabid, winded wildcat in the shadows of temptation. And then there’s a back-country woman that just won’t leave my hesitated mind. Taking time to worry all about her, risking heartache to forever go without her— it seems like such an unfair penance, like the result of prison’s popular undeserved sentences. Getting by without a proper windshield, it’s starting to look as if my drummer really is too far off the mark. Wishes to again cross that princess on that old and dusty road. In the end it’s a crime that, quite simply, has no motive. And I’m paying my sentence daily for being a prince—and not the most handsome toad in the land.

Back-Country Woman
Never will I be covered in tattoos My legs and toes shall forever stay bruised. I’ll never paint or carry a tune Forever and ever, I’ll wear a tutu. I won’t dye my hair pink or blue My piercings will stay as the simple two Nails cut short and hair in a bun In ballet, this must be done. Pink tights by the mound Bobby pins all around Leotards on the floor Pointe shoes by the door. Toes taped so tightly Smiling big and brightly Red lipstick adding to her beauty The dancer moves so smoothly. Turned out from my hips No words coming from my lips I dance sweetly to the sound Ooh ballet, to you, I am bound. Full of grace, never haste Filling perfectly my costume of lace Ever so sweet, my dancing feet Step after step, I repeat and repeat. Obtaining perfection is my key It’s what I strive for, it’s all that defines me Pushing harder and harder to reach my goal It’s what I live for, ballet is my soul. My toes may bleed And my knees, grow weak But I’ll never stop dancing… Not until I reach my peak. Pirouette, Pirouette Dancer’s silhouette Practicing at dusk Dedication is a must. Stretching my limbs Choreographing on a whim Alway aiming to be stronger To hold my arabesque longer. When I do finally reach that triple pirouette and all is done and all is set I put myself back into class Aiming for a fourth, to be better than the last. This is the life of a dancer en point Risking the health of her feet, legs and joints Just for that one perfect moment on stage Where the ballerina stands tall and all are amazed.

Just give me a reason, to get my heart beating. As the world falls apart around us, all we can do is hold on and take my hand. I'd risk everything for you, reaching into the denial, risking loosing my mind. Just reach for my hand. You might call me crazy, but I'd stand on the edge, till there's nothing left, waiting for the end. Say another word, because I doubt I could hear you, with the silence between us. Just reach for my hand. I'd do anything for you, while asking "why are you such trouble?" From our first kiss, your eyes held wide... (why were they open?) Just give me a reason, to get my heart beating. As the world falls apart around us, all we can do is hold on and take my hand. Just reach for me.

Take my hand.
Awaiting the storm Forming on distant shores. Preparing myself for The oceans tidal swell. Opening my heart To the rawest of elements. I ride the anticipation Of the coming waves. Conquering the building Fear as the water leaps high. A great solid wall Unfurling its rippling energy. Through the tube, Board skimming, skipping. Flirting with danger, Risking everything, Inside a living Hollow cocoon of Thundering power. Controlled fear beats Inside my pumping heart, Driving my adrenaline Through to spiritual fulfilment. On exiting the beast, It rolls onward to its death. Through its existence We both lived, sharing A unique oneness. Children of nature within A union of creation, so special, It takes the breath away. Savouring my exhilaration,   I see another wave being born, And prepare to surf again. ©Paul M Chafer 2014

Surfing
Isolated from reality Nothings what it seems Roaming the world asleep You take refuge in your dreams You go with the flow The current pulls you along Drowning out your conscience Its neither right nor wrong Influenced by your surroundings Unaware your slowly drowning Gasping for air Grasping at what's not there Submerged in shallow water Struggling to breathe Finding your self at last You realize you've been deceived Instinct kicks in You begin to swim Risking it all Listening to your wake up call

wakeup call
Less than a month I'll be 18 years old Maybe I'll be able to grasp The escape rope of life Stop breast feeding on the ******* of my parents wealth Drink the sweet vitamin enrich milk of freedom No longer the outcast of school hallways ***** looks of freshman As they all say they want to **** me Knowing all to well I'm not risking life in jail Can you believe it I'm almost 18 Nothings changed I've been 23 since my parents forced me to be the mature one

Can You Believe It
We were both gamblers, And darling, we were all in. Knowing there was a possibility Of holes left in our hearts being unable to mend. I know life always has a way of leaving us broken, but darling, for tonight, let's pretend. Risking the chance we could be left with nothing, we put in all we had. But in the end, even though we lost everything, life didn't seem so bad. We knew what we were getting ourselves into. All or nothing It just so happens that this time, Life chose nothing. But we still somehow believed that we had gained from something. We had discovered sides of ourselves that the other brought to light, And they were worth knowing, even though now, we are simply a lost dream in the night.

Do you ever write something So good That you feel like you've peaked As a writer? And everything from then on Is a question in your head? Maybe you should never Pick up a pencil again Because your writing career Has already been wrapped up Tightly with a bow Maybe you planned to be a poet Get a proper creative writing degree And forever make a living Off the rhythm of words But every idea now Seems like a steaming pile of **** Compared to your last masterpiece So it just sits Rotting in your brain Until you stink With a lack of genuine creativity Maybe you've written so much That your rhymes Begin to sound tired And overused But if you don't rhyme It sounds as if you've gotten lazy So no matter what you put down The effort doesn't show Maybe writing about the ordinary Seems boring But writing the extraordinary Has already been done And every option in between Seems like a cheap plagiarism Maybe your standards got too high And people expect more from you So every ounce of energy you have Is wasted on doubting yourself Until you're too exhausted To write at all Maybe you dreamt too big Maybe quitting while you're ahead Sounds better than actually trying Maybe the emptiness you feel When you don't write Is worth not risking failure Maybe saying goodbye To your dreams now Will be easier Than a downward spiral From the inability To write something better than before Or maybe You're just overthinking it.

Overthinking
. *asks the one in the $9 Craigslist chair, legs crossed like a philosopher mid-way through a YouTube binge on dark matter and dopamine fasting.* He thinks it’s profound. It’s not. It’s a shrug in a trench coat. A crisis dressed up in code. An old fear wearing digital cologne. If this is a simulation— ***what the **** are we simulating?*** Heartbreak? Minimum wage despair? The number of times I check my phone hoping it’s her? Is it a stress test for gods, a beta for consciousness, a joke? Because if someone coded this— they should be fired. Or worshipped. Or sued. Where’s the patch notes, the exit key, the server room in the sky? Where’s the moment it glitches and someone finally says, “Oops, our bad— you weren’t meant to feel all of that.” You talk about the veil of illusion but you still cry in parking lots. You still ghost your therapist. You still love people who don’t text back. You bleed, you ache, you spiral— whether you’re made of atoms *or ******* pixels.* Your god wears headphones. Your sacred text is a Stack Overflow thread. Your heaven is a loading screen. Your hell is just Monday. You pray in 1080p to a silent DevOps deity who hasn’t pushed an update since the Bronze Age. This isn’t philosophy. It’s cosplay for cowards. It’s a way to sound deep without touching dirt. Without risking faith. Without changing anything. Because if it’s a sim, you don’t have to care. If it’s a sim, you don’t have to try. You can just sit there, scrolling. Wondering if the fire is ray-traced. But here, the only questions that matter: Does it hurt? Do you love? Can you lose? Because if the answer is yesyou’re in it. Whatever it is. Simulation or not.

Because if the answer is yesyou’re in it. Whatever it is. Simulation or not.

I know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know. Let all who know tell me about what I don't know. Check your self and let me know what you want from me. The whole world is not really good or bad place. It is a mystery that you cannot fathom. To play your own game and win must be your priority. Life is about risking and sharing the gifts, talents and abilities you were endowed with and finding your place in the scheme of things, and to leave your signature and fingerprints in the canvas of life. It is about opening up with love, kindness and compassion and be generous in nature. To lavishly share your life and contribute in abundance the blessings you were gifted with. It is about transforming yourself into an exulted being you were created to be. To find the balance that centers you. It's about daily discovery of your innate dormant natural endowments and how to safely use it to your advantage and the benefits of mankind. It is about opening up like the rose flower, sharing your fragrance. ©2018,Emeka Mokeme. All Rights Reserved.

SHARE YOUR FRAGRANCE
Rolling dawn to dusk across the starry length, Spiraling circles amidst blazing orbs. Held no memories of my stellar birth, Nor tell vast upheavals of mighty epics.   Early shedding of original flames, A layer of hydrogen was burned away. Convulsions, diarrhea shrouds my youth, A steamy cloak caresses my tender skin.   Around four billion laps before this day, Life awakened in my ancient depths. Poison polluted my outer coat, aye, As oxygen poured from primal bugs.   Cycles of warmth and ice marks my crotch, Evolving life, risking death, must adapt. Such poor creatures persist beneath my watch, I shelter them from the frigid void.   Toward the day of the dull red giant, Even I am facing the gates of malicious wrath. All shall perish under their final monument, From youth, to strength, then wisdom, onto death.   Sadly, star dust tells no tales.

The Gaia Monologue
Free falling through eyes wide open As the wind of alive fills the room of life A piano nearby listens Dreaming in the key of flesh All the silence in the world moves here The heart of risking nothing and everything at once lifts time Fear cannot ever fly this high to see you in the other without guise Fright has too many masks and no way to remove them Nude-time is gravity’s secret gift to those who only dance with true abandon Beings unafraid of fiery tears laughing and wanderlust exposed No other way home Every moment is dying On lips that live within words and the whispers of thoughts stir Everything said and heard contains the death of afraid now Every soul step closer is leaving all clocks behind The first kiss can wait forever For it has already caressed complete naked honesty We shiver Choosing To never harm how all love is sacred

Complete Naked Honesty
Ever had the feeling of being trapped in a glass box with the air slowly running out, with every breath? In sun, rain, snow and storm, the box gets dark or warm but what you can do always remains the same. Have you just simply wanted to walk away or break free? To travel the world taming Lion cubs and petting great white sharks? To wake up to a sunrise in a Dutch farm and watch it set over the Mediterranean sea? To teach children in Thailand or India? To salsa on the streets of Mexico or be blinded by the lights in Dubai? Have you ever wanted to be border-less? To not be punished for being born in a country where the sun is hot and people are poor? Have you ever just wanted to work, get a place, pay taxes, and not ignore the growling of your stomach so your 5 pound takeaway stretches over 3 days postponing the date to buy the next food stock? Have you ever wanted to check your bank account without having your fingers crossed, because even though you know the exact balance you hope by some miracle it will be more? Have you prayed for immigration to back the hell off leaving you to make a living without risking deportation? Have you ever got tired of playing by the rules when the Albanian Mafia and Walmart makes more money per hour than what you'd make in a lifetime, or two? With heart aches and emotional games, and attending Sunday mass becoming more of a cliché, with rejection and doors closed, at the cost of owning a brown passport, with your head spinning and back against the wall, have you wondered what life wants from you at all? To all the women being trafficked for *** and the children slaving away spinning Persian carpets, tonight it's too cold to snow outside my glass box. Inside, it's too sad to cry...

Here thinking Is it worth it All that hard work Trying to get his attencion Risking my education Trying to be there for him While he doesnt realize I am there. Is it all part of destiny Or is it a part of life Is it all what I have done It is all because of my mistakes I am here Wondering if he ever thinks of me Hoping that he loves me to Wishing he could look At my smile and fall for me Just like I fell for him I love him, wishings he loved me Yet in English clas He does not even turn my way I wish he could know But I am not scared to say anything I wish he could understand That I am falling in love every second Even more I need him to see I need him to know That every second I think of what could be

Fallin in love, hard
I find it scary to love someone like this. You give everything you have your love, time & attention. Hoping that they will do & feel the same way like you do. Missing them every single time, making sure that they're happy & remain contented with you, & your love. Doing everything that you could to make sure that they wouldn't leave you, alone. At the same time, giving them space & freedom that they want & deserve. To make sure they won't feel locked, stuck & chained with you. Loving someone so deeply, pure, sincere & innocent is not an easy task. This might sound narcissistic, but I admire myself & those who has done it? It is scary, yes. No assurances that all of it wouldn't be wasted. Maybe that's the beauty of love Making smart & logical people; dumb, fearless & illogical. Driving human beings, insane & risking it all, for the name of love.

Pros and Cons of Love
She is my light in every pitch black evening. Her light cuts through every angle brightening up each part of me. She is my only guide the star I follow to a final destination of home, of happiness of eternal warmth and security. She is my inspiration. The reason I wake up everyday with purpose, with intent of becoming a better me. The reason, I go to sleep with a smile. For every slumber, comes another morning which means a day closer to her. She is my stargirl. :) She is loved. She is yearned for. She is worth waiting and risking for. Yours and only yours, Anne. Your Mims
