Puppy Love
Desire Feb 2019
Gaze in her eyes. Gently rub her ears. Grab her softly. Graciously snuggle. Give her a kiss and talk to her sweetly. Keep it gangsta and real - stay true to the code of love. #NoLimits

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR
Desire Feb 2019
When I reach my end-state,
I hope to see the pearly gate
and see them streets of gold
in a place deemed celestial
                   a place of eternal beings
                   in harmony worshipping
                   the King of kings, by his grace,
                   may we get through,
to, or near the throne,
killed off my flesh and bone,
but spared my soul, so
ever thankful, eternally grateful
                  when I see the cloud descend
                  and hear them trumpets play
                  on the Great and Magnificant day
                  off we go to see this heavenly place
but until then, I'll live
in love and loyalty, hum-b-ly,
as I leave behind a harvest
for our children to reap
                 unearned and undeserving
                 forgiveness was freely given to we
                 making it my duty to live
                 a life that honors He
despite my own imperfect way of living
live honestly; despite your theology
live a life deemed honorably

If you never try at all,
it does no one any good.

If you try just once,
you’ll probably fail.

If you try 100 times,
    you might see victory just once.

Its not about the amount of failed attempts or victories,

Reform
Desire Dec 2018
To the racial remarks: we're all one race - the human race. To the discriminant: don't live the lie that you're superior - we're all just human beings. To the stereotypes: silly sayings don't define someone, not even in the slightest. To supporters: seek light and see if what spurs you is worthy or even righteous. To those in denial: Wake up and seek wisdom - may your ignorance wear off. To the independent: families broken are dependents isolated - individuals internally lost. To the prosecutor: if you were victimized, how would you feel? To the victims: voice yourselves - your vulnerability can be used as a virtue. To the impacted parents and children: continue to climb this mountain, and maybe America will consider your cries. To the next generation: sorry my generation, in many ways, has already failed you... To the next generation: do better than us, and by doing so, you'll prevail too...

Changes are life-transforming, and they all start with the renewing of the mind. You need change to make change. You need change to bring change. To renew your mind is to change your mind. Change it. By reading different books, listening to different podcasts or music; Feed it with life-sustaining and culture-cultivating material and influences. It matters. All of it.

The Way of Love
Desire Feb 2019
There's a bond, between husband and wife,
between father and son, mother and child,
Earth and life; more than death to do you part,
it kindles warmly inside; a never-ending flame
that brightens even our darkest nights;

It ignites when you stare in the eyes of your loved ones,
when you hear those laughs or see them tears of joy
from young ones; a substance we all seek,
larger than the lust we all long for; makes us feel complete
or weak at the knees, its what our souls yearn for,
from the soles of our feet, and the very tips of our toes,
to the tops of our heads, our minds modestly know; we
understand the need but see, knowledge, faith and prophesy,
to say the least, are incomplete, if you know not love,
you gain
nothing;

You remain as such -- just a nowt
Like a flourished flower -- wind wipes it out
And its place knows it no more
Without love, What are we made for?

If I gave away all I have - sacrificed my life and
breathed my last, but had not loved, then its just sad
It was all in vein. Life goes by fast.
Good works are good, but they're not good enough
Love takes compassion to remove all the cuffs --
We are responsible for our relationships
and for the fruit that result as the products;
Forbidden or toxic or rotten or empty,
Healthy or edible --  all evidently
Sow and you reap and you reap what you sow
Love is patient and kind and its anger is slow;

With no record of wrongs, Love rejoices with truth
Love bears all things, believes all things
Hopes all and endures too; Love doesnt boast or envy,
Its not arrogant or rude; Love's not so self-insisting
Love is all these things; How about you?

Do you reflect love or put it to shame?
Does love surround you or are you misplaced?
As I look in this mirror, making known this face,
Am I really the product of God's love and grace?

There's a bond, between husband and wife,
between father and son, mother and child,
Earth and life; more than death to do you part,
it kindles warmly inside; a never-ending flame
that brightens even our darkest nights;

Desire Apr 2019
The past and present, before and after,
lows and highs, are no disguise.
Yet to my surprise, the bad and good,
they build us up, as life should.

To persevere is to prepare
for the battles that are to come.
If you fail, just try again
to prevail and say you won.

Not to brag, but to be a winner,
learn from the losses; with it comes wisdom.
A smarter self, a stronger soul;
Those who never try will never know.

Dig your feet deep in the dirt.
Don't be afraid to put in work.
Do your best as if it today
did not promise you a tomorrow.

FROM THE PIT
Desire Nov 2020
In a dream, warnings heed
From the pit, my soul - he keeps
Awake, I pray, and see his face
I shout of joy, and sing him praise.

My sins are spared,
Perversions pardoned,
My ways are not repaid to me
For, from the pit, my soul is kept
My life is lit, and I - redeemed

Chance after chance, and time again
Into the pit, his hand extends
Pulls us up, turns us about
Not graved to perish, but to live devout.

His mercies anew; his truths revealed
Saved from the pit, sown in his fields
His grace - sufficient, where sin spewed its spout.
His love has no end - my soul has no doubt.
For, from the pit, my soul - he keeps.
My life is lit, and I - redeemed.

Saying What's on My Mind
Desire Dec 2018
I'm just an average guy...
I've got normal problems and a normal life
I've also got a voice inside
silently speaking - sounds of my mind
I wonder, does it have a mind of its own?
Always flooding like a river formed by a hurricane,
if my head gets too cloudy,
there'll be a high chance of rain and scattered brainstorms

It might short-fuse my hippocampus
unable to remember how to see;
a blacked-out occipital lobe
I still don't see how the backs of our brains allow us to see
through the front our faces and out of our eyes,
where most of the water falls
despite the brain's overflowing, muddy river,
or the temporary lack of sight,
I still have a voice.

And with it, I will share all of the stories stored within this blackbox,
and only this light can find them and shine on them.
My voice, a wave riding my mind's ocean's surface
This voice, this wave, this sound,
a complicatedly, clear conscious,
called into focus...
[a sound of (my) mind]

There’s a crown with your name on it
‘Cause, girl, you’re royalty
The feeling is simply amazing
Red carpet for the Queen

Real sweet - you’re my cup of tea
My fine wine, a shot with lime,
You make me stomp my feet
Dancing every time

& the feeling is simply amazing
The shine in your tiara’s got me crystal-gazing
Your smile in your eyes’ got my arm-hairs raising
You wave and I bow, but my heart’s really racing

Cause, girl, you’re royalty
Red carpet for the Queen
You make me stomp my feet
& the feeling’s amazing (x3)
3 random words were given to me (crown, stomp, amazing) and I had 20 minutes to write a poem with those 3 words. I hope you enjoy this piece ✨

FROM THE SLUMS
Desire Jan 2019
We must become far more than what the system wants us to be.
We are surpassing standards our peers have failed to reach.
We are achieving goals and making it to places
    our ancestors once dreamed.
We are living the wildest dreams of those before us.
We are going to places not even some of
    our parents have been to or seen.
Who are you becoming?
XLVII. FROM THE SLUMS
-
With the weight of responsibility of trying to secure a future for one's family, with the pressures of progressing and "making it" in life, there are those who are fighting and pushing forward! While people sit back, comfortably, living crowded and messy lives, and living from check to check, there's a people focused on marching ahead... In no way am I replacing faith with "success" but there's a difference in doing what you can and trusting the process from remaining comfortable in circumstances that weren't meant to be permanent in the first place!

Choose Wisely
Desire Dec 2018
One choice is all it takes...
to make or ruin our lives,
and apart from grace,
it's hard for one's soul to survive
theft, death, or ****,
or other reasons that make it hard to rationalize, or mediate -
many minds destroyed by disturbing disasters that devastate
us,
distorting truth, love, and hate,
sometimes they break our beings;
We can't contemplate these feelings.
Is this our fate?
For some, it unfortunately becomes fatal.
For others, there's a faith that saves,
making a way when we're unable,
to move.
Regardless of one's belief or views,
lets look back at what's being presented before you on the table:

One choice is all it takes...

As the suspect or victim,
we pick our choices and choose how to deal with our given circumstances,
to include the circumstances we didn't choose to be in, or begin with, in the first place.
Even when things happen outside of our control
We control our choices and responses,
as everything unfolds,
and for some choices, come consequence -
the thing we say someone's gotta own
up to, and rightfully so...
So may we have an awareness of ourselves
and arch attention or focus to
making better choices, because
One choice is all it takes...
[be intentional]

"You can't take back what you've already done or been through, but you can choose how to deal with it, and you can make choices for the betterment of the circumstance, of yourself, and of others... choose wisely, and know that we're created for good works..." - Desire R.

TRUTH BE TOLD

You can forgive a liar,
but lies are poison to the vein.
Hard truths may hurt, but
the pain fades and trust will remain...
Lies are deadly, especially the ones
you try to take to the grave.
Just be honest and tell the whole truth;
don't add or take a thing away...
