Poem: As We Are

I don't want to be consistent
But yet I want to be resistant
Not because I'm being difficult
But sometimes I don't know who to trust
I've never believed in luck
And that's how I got my guts
To stand up and stand out
I do doubt myself and my strengths
Because the world focuses so much on
Weaknesses or personal appearances
Forgetting that so much is unknown
And our little temporary thrones
Are really useless and of little interest
Thrones have no depth and
although there is temporary wealth
It can't save our souls or make our bodies
Whole if we get sick
I'll just be me
With my flaws and talents
My bravery and need to repent
My frankness and shyness
My moods and my quirks
I'll remain inconsistent
Obstinate and tolerant
Because all of us are as we are

POEM: Easter

When it's Easter

It's either a siesta

or a fiesta

but there's a good reason

for the season

and even though the story has some treason

and we do spend some time grieving

over the deceiving

we stay believing

that we have a heavenly father

who looks after

us despite our falters

our shortcomings

wrongdoings

and falsifying

our resistance

our pretense

and our negative insistence

Thank God for his blessings

his caring

and his understanding

cause if he goes by what he observes

for sure we don't deserve

any part of his love

Thoughts About A Vine

It's easy to get distracted and detracted from what you have to do. We are so busy and are so involved. We are social and yet so anti-social. I like how a vine runs because it flows by its needs. It has to survive and will grow on other trees, on concrete, on soil and depending on the situation, even through a car.

Sometimes we need to be like a vine and be tough and resilient. We have to push through and make things happen for ourselves. We have to be able to adapt and develop ourselves. There is a lot to do and a lot to learn. The key is in our hands. A vine starts with one root. A pumpkin vine develops other roots along the way and we have to develop positive relationships while we are on our journey.

You can learn a lot from nature because of the way it adapts and grows. I want to be a vine of positivity and of compassion. I want my vine to have success, growth and inspiration as well. Think about your life and your journey. What impact do you want to make? What will you be a vine of?

Poem: Confused

Possibly a margin
Of error or was it terror
Designed to mix up
Our minds
Like a Kool-Aid flavor of lime
Don't drink and drive
To keep a life
From a lost state
In a debate on faith
But with no substance
And no endurance
Guaranteed that
You will not heed
I breathe in heavy gasps
As I lapse into
Not me
I really can't see
Cause one decree
Like an off deed
Turns into many others
And those who speak
With the 'other tongue' side
Take us for the ride
Not on a glider
But this one is a slider
Not wider but just confused

Poem: One with Words

I write to become
One with words
To resuscitate
Not divide and conquer
To disseminate
What could be useful
Because I am hopeful
I remain an optimist
Not only to give you
A gist or a hint
But to tell it to you
Raw with details
To ensure that
You understand
My passionate chords
Of words
That I use to light
The fire to inspire
The desire
For you to want more
I write to become
One with words
And I share these thoughts
Free of cost
