"uncertainness" poems
Mindy takes a seat opposite me,
as if we're about to engage in some serious conversation.
Christmas carols would make the background stale
if there was no twist to them.
"Thanks for buying the ice cream," she reiterates for the fourth time,
her potential lover-girl Jaclyn repeating the sentiment half-heartedly.
"It's no problem."
I reply with my usual comeback.
"I'm sorry Daniel couldn't come.
He had excuses
akin to my last three boyfriends,
and you know how long those lasted.
It's enough to make me want to go straight."
"I can make you straight."
"What?"
"What?"
And we continue as if nothing happened.
Jaclyn eats her ice cream as Mindy shares hers with me.
It has a twang to it, a strange flavor she made herself
that you wouldn't expect to be so good until you tried it.
Deep in my core, that ice cream sent a chill through my body–
a chill of uncertainness.

How was the West really won?
Also how a sunset meant you were done
In a town called CENTER GULCH, TEXAS, it was a busy affair of stagecoaches and Sheriff Toby Jackson
He was a Sheriff that kept order in town being his action
But it took a little persuasion
Those stagecoaches in their days made your **** so sore
The whole idea, why would anyone want to explore?
But what transportation mode did you have then?
The Hound bus didn’t come until when
Then there were some attacking Indians storming through Center Gulch
Go ahead, you can budge
But now it is the Sheriff Jackson and the Indian Chief Red Devil face to face
The sun above was beating down hard
But wait a minute that’s my heart pounding
There was a stillness, and feeling of uncertainness
Sheriff Jackson had his gun ready with his hands at his side, and Indian Chief Red Devil with arrows ready to shoot
But suddenly from Borderville, some mean looking Villians had the shot the Sheriff and the Indian Chief
Immediately there was no relief
The Villains escaped in the winding hills
We are left with one big still
However an adventure that had you in a moment of will
End of story
Until next time being another glory
A sunrise that was and a sunset of the west days
We bid the tumbleweed goodbye
Here’s dust in your eye.

It was a past about a horse and a Cowboy
But it wasn’t a story of Indians in attack, but happiness being a joy
This was a time when the West had already won
It was some Navajo Indians who became friends among
The Navajo Indians shared cultures and traditions
The Cowboy trained the Indians in how to ride a horse
It was a nature care thing having no force
The Navajo Indians lived in their own reservation
You could call it preservation
The Navajo Indians were trained for battle and attack
Yet some people wonder about that
But the Cowboy instilled that there was trust
He also showed no need to fuss
The horse even familiarized himself with the other horses of the Navajo Indians
Everyone got along
This was the books past back that needed to belong
This was the chapters throughout the book
All one has to do is just take a look
Western movies always portrayed Indians with Wagons and Stagecoach attacks
However, that was the movie’s action fact
It didn’t always happen like that
There was calmness but some fear with uncertainness
People were living in assumption and not on trust
Yet the Cowboy and a horse showing Indians can be friends
But the book illustrated in not to live in fear
A book that showed the story right
What was darkness have shed some light.

It was a moment of darkness
Light beyond reach
Yet a voice with inspiration too preach
All I could do was stare at the night
Since there wasn’t anything too view in sight
I just sat and bared my plight
It happened all of a sudden
The city was blacked out community by community
But it became a unity shattered by darkness
The stare became how much can one bare
But there was plenty of time too spare
Yet the uncertainness of darkness became a tone of beware
This was something I wanted too share
Darkness from when, and later light came at the end.

Uncertainness blossoms to this realm
things go by itself, so does the world
unexpected turn of events
shows the opposite of life,
just like the world
beware, beware, be safe but don't play
square
the world isn't fair.

Abandoned
Left to fend
Not knowing a thing
Expected to survive
Adrift
In a sea of forgottenness
In a blanket of misery
Hungry
Afraid
No where to go
No one to run to
Knowing deep down
I won't survive
Dread
Roaring in my soul
Fear
Clouding my thoughts
Emotions raging
Going insane
From the uncertainness
And abandonment
Feeling reality's sharp sting
Finally realizing for the first time
He used me
****** me dry
Like a ravenous vampire
Drank every last drop
Until all that's left
Is a shell of
Myself

Blue screen
Red eyes
2am
Frowning with smile
Looking straight in her eyes
As he swipe through her profile
Switching app to app
To see her latest stride
Morning
At noon
Tired eyes
Still she is on mind
Follow, friend request or ping,
What should he do?
To let her know,
He too subsist
Nervous
Courageous
Full of Fear
Followed, requested and pinged too
Felt as a proposal
For her to choose
Between him and the other guys who send her posts too
Scrolling
Waiting
Updating
Thinking, he is ignored
He was being okay
But Phone chimed
Notifying “one new request”.
Happiness
Shaking breaths
Fear of uncertainness
As he opened,
Its her request
He accepted as soon as he can
Showing his keenness
Thinking to makes his move
Without caring if its too soon
Likes
Comments
Mutual friends
All know what it meant
He thought
Hi, hello or what up?
Before, he asks
“If she mind being on her what’s app?”
Stressed
Hope-full
Full of expectations
“Hey, how you doing?” He texted
In seconds
Phone chimed
It notified, she “posted a new picture”
He instantly commented and liked
Waiting for her to reply
Days passed
Likes, comments, content shared
But she didn’t replied
How she was?
And He thought
He was someone more
Another night
Red eyes
2am
And one more profile.
