Me
I wish I knew who I am
I thought I knew but have no clue
I look into a mirror, and what is it
I see?
A reflection of me!!
Not as others see me,
or so I have been told
for like looking through a
glass darkly, it distorts
not just me, but everything
that's seen
from a different point of view
Until you look upon your face
as others see you true
you'll never really know
the person that is you
No one else can tell you
what they really see
for when I look into
a mirror I see a different me
Tis the same with deeper meanings
so because I am not sure
I will leave what I really
look like at G-d's holy door
For he truly knows me
the good and the bad
whether I am happy
or whether I am sad
He looks upon my features
as the other people do
but he also looks much deeper
and sees inside my soul
he looks beyond the superficial
and can work miracles I know
So I shall leave my face and
heart within his tender hands
and know that everything is
done within a grander plan
that transcends the superficial
this visage others see
I will trust in his love and
guidance for he knows the real me!

About this poem:
I believe we all see a shadow of our real selves...... x
Post Comment
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we fall
Life's full of hurdles, and even brick walls
But we grow with experience, through the good and the bad
Look forward with wisdom, not back at what we could have had
When one door closes, it's time to move 'home'
New chapter in your book, whole world to roam
Our days run fast, in the blink of an eye
Make time last well, before we reach the sky
Live in every moment, take in all the air
Be grateful for now, run without a care
For one day we will be aged, looking back when we're grey
To give yourself good memories, you must live for each day

The Wise man feels his imperfections and is humbled. He labors in vain for his own approbation. But the fool peeps into the shadow stream of his own mind and is pleased with the pebbles which he sees at the bottom. He brings them up, display them as pearls, and with the applause of others he delights in himself.

About this poem:
Many of us speak on things without root knowledge. And because of not having root knowledge we usually will speak about anything, positively or negatively, without full facts. We become self righteous on many levels and eventually become false prophets. And the more we attract ignorant crowds who embrace our incompleteness, the more monstrous we become.

A little check mark next to my name
Or any slip of paper to bookmark
What I have set off like firecrackers
Such images to take center stage
When something strange becomes
Suddenly so curious so wondrous
To go back to day after day
What wild scenes will take place
Beckoning as would be for beauty
Beholding something more valuable
Does a simple shutter speed capture
Something that will last forevermore
An imagine ingrained in your brain
Now even with your eyes closed
In the sunbeams streaming rapture
A simple truth never shown more
Nor most interestingly composed
Then the pictures that will take shape
Like the great spotlight on the wall
And the star starts falling will glow
Only briefly after going along so far
Delight and dance in your heart

A POETS LIFE
STEPHEN DUNNE
THE LIFE OF A POET,
ALTHOUGH MOST WON’T KNOW IT,
IS ONE OF FOREVER THOUGHT
THINKING OF LINES,
A THOUSAND TIMES,
THAT NEVER SEEM TO SAY IT
FEELINGS THAT SEEM WORTHLESS,
AND ALMOST ENDLESS,
OCCUR AGAIN AND AGAIN
A TEMPTATION THAT LURES,
TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS,
PUT EACH AND EVERY WAY
AND AS THE POETS DREAM,
OTHER PEOPLE ALWAYS SEEM,
UNABLE TO SEE THIER CAUSE
BUT WHEN HE IS GONE,
HE’LL BE REMEMBERED LONG,
FOR THE WORDS HE ALWAYS SOUGHT

Come on let's
Piece this together
The pain n the pleasure
Through any length n any measure
Delving deeper under pressure
Trying to find the answer
To all the questions they ask
But I know it's impossible
To go living through the past
Don't tell no lie
There's a natural mystic flowing through the air
Thanks Bob
Yet still I n I sob
Cos real is real
Can't help what ya feel
What ya see
So many
Buying into the illusion of this shizz
Before ya know it it's too late to live
And yet still to worry about him or her
Causes a blur
And so I concur
And refer
Back to the mirror
To receive breathe n see this more clearer
Everything designed for you to fear him or fear her
And even the mirror
Geeeeezzzzzz
And rewind n come again
Your soul is your best friend
Pay attention
And don't forget to smile more

Rip rending bending
Descending ascending
Uncomp n comprehending
Destructive forces amending n mending
Pour empty full cup to All sending
Unfriending befriending
No sight of a beginning or ending
Closed to open up n sing
Giving takin
Breaking making
Chaotic chaos pain stakin
From da roots shakin
Giratin vibratin deflatin elevatin
Flyin without wings!
The relevant relevance through to thoughts of thoughts n things of things
An unbroken circle like rings
An it rings
And it rings
Spoken words of pains n sufferings
Manifesting
Unmanifesting
It's always a blessed ting
A blessing
A blissing
A multidimensional string
On a guitar
From Pluto to Mars
Mars bars fat whips n cars
Supanovas n stars
Laa la laa la laaaaa
Spiraling
Circling
Potholes n hurdling
Curling twirling
Pull back n get hurled iN
Inhaling exhaling
Patiently prevailing
Like on a ship sailing
Rough n calm seas
Breathing positive influence
Comprehending magnificence
Understanding overstanding the science
The Love the violence
I AM
I AM that
Lyrically
Alchemical
Mystically magical
Spittin shots to ya heart lika fine art
Nursing I'm burstin lighting up ya chakras
Got ya Kundalini pacin n racin all up in ya structure
Call me a Divine doctor
Goin to work like surgery
Rewiring reconnecting up those memories
I been sent here to remove fear
And to make a way clear
To set those minds free like the air
All seeking n searching for materialistic things
Cash money gold rings n bling blings
Divine Love is what I bring
Spittin bars from Mars n all kinda stars as i sing
Deeper higher vibrating
The essence of ma presence intelligently interrogating
Pumped up never deflating
I won't jest I'm on a quest
To bring these elements into sequence
This energy potent n immense
Tearing down all barrier n fence
And now the blind see n yes they see sense

What are you waiting for?
Why don't you let that Love pour?
A little more
A lotta more
I implore to endure
The thin n thick of it
The two faced liar n hypocrite
Let nobody n no thing dampen your Spirit
Of course life experiences leave you in doubt
Self made prison walls n ya can't get out
You gave your heart lika token
But then the trust was broken
Not once
Not twice
Even more than thrice
And this time afraid to roll them dice
Walk around with the face cold like ice
That's not very nice
Is it?
Allowing the world to take your shine
Shizz happens n ya can't press rewind
Instead try to understand the lesson
And even if ya can't, know that the experience is designed for your progression
Every level of oppression
Don't hate it embrace it
Take time to sit back n reflect
Always with gratitude n respect
Why wait for the perfect moment
Pick any moment n make it perfect

Knowing why
I want to cry
Vision in eye
Persistent more to try
Deny the mind think blind
When time young kind
Struggle through fire
Inner belief growing higher
Pulls closer they admire
Destiny perpetual desire
Future stories told
Inescapable the hold
Amazing I know
Energy said to grow
Feeling a step untold
Trust in self guts behold
Remember inside
Any moment meaning collide
Emotion override
Tenacity set decide
Begin a stride
Dreams undenied
