"teke" poems
Come dance with me, the Teke pledge said,
Offering her carnations red.
Together my love, our feet will fly,
My heart you fill, you’ll not deny.
He held her tight, but loose enough,
To twirl about, and strut her stuff.
A twosome, yet they were one,
Who lived life, love and fun.
He saw the love in her eyes,
The kind of love that never dies.
Their bond, the strongest weld,
To ecstatic future they propelled.
Then, something caught her eye,
An attraction she did not clarify.
Biology became her prime,
For him she left too little time.
He sadly said we need a break,
Then quickly learned a big mistake.
His love for her, he did shout,
She’d return, he had no doubt.
Alas for both, he was wrong,
No more to him, did she belong.
Three years, a thousand days,
Together, in oh so many ways.
The last dance, as he’d recall,
Held no clue what would befall.

To venture into the unknown
To stretch my limits
To boldly go where I have never gone before
If I never try somthing new
If I never teke on new challenges
I will never truly grown
In person
In mind
In body
In soul
In spirit
At times there will be points where I want to quite
I can not
For I can not and will not let the wolrd win
At times there will be great heartaches
I will not let it keep my down
The challenges of life
Are not stumbbling blocks
However they are stepping stones
Each step takes me
Higher into selfawareness
Fuller in the knowledge of
My own abilities
My own streangths
My own desire to progress and move foward
