WHAT I SEE

Seeing this wicked world through my eyes
sorrow is so apparent I can hear the cries
Nothing is really as it should be
humanity gone bad is 'What I See'

Respect in every facet of life has obviously gone astray
humanities moral fiber decays a bit more each day
Advocates of 'faith' molest children without losing position
validation of just how truly pathetic the human condition

'What I see' are people embracing evil like it's no longer wrong
while aggressively eliminating goodness as if it doesn't belong
Unfortunately things are steadily going to get even worse
this world has become infected by some irreparable curse

'I see' sanity streaking towards the brink of eradication
a world so precarious its fate inevitably extinction

DON'T GIVE WAY

When fed up you just wanna throw up your hands
question how much longer you can face life's demands
When so distraught it's arduous getting out of bed
even when wide awake you still feel dead

When anxiety is so overwhelming you wanna scream
your nightmarish life isn't simply some bad dream
When feeling so insignificant you wouldn't be missed
past sick of being screwed before getting kissed

When demons persist you ponder if it's time to quit
desire in every capacity has vanished bit by bit
When suicide infiltrates your thoughts keep them at bay
after reaching your last thread of hope 'Don't Give Way'!

Moving On

The road to life has been a winding one.
Hills and valleys, resting to rising suns
From babies cooings to young woman's dreams
Seasoned woman now but my works not done.
Little lost not knowing which road to take
Sometimes no decisions are the best to make
It seems so close but yet so far away
One day I will rest when I am in my grave

I seek solitude but life still seeks me out
My name chimes as clear as a bell
Natures beating drum the beating of my heart
Mystifying me as if I am under a spell
Talking softly heard as loud as a shout
Removing all insecurities and doubt
Touched by the Gods of the Universe
Embracing, no longer feeling cursed

Let go of silly petty things release their hold
Follow the path towards knowing yourself
Don't believe everything your told
Search for peace not strife
Revealing love through your life
Time is short but please don't run
Or you might pass all the fun
Search for spiritual not financial wealth



I hear the beating of the drum
Work here is almost done
I choose the road of the resting sun

About this poem:
I think when we are ready to move on in life each of us knows when it is time, be it emotional or physical moving. We know when the journey needs to move on. To stay complacent would somehow stop the growth.

ELVIS

Elvis was born in Tupelo Mississippi in nineteen thirty five
stepped out of poverty to become the biggest presence alive
He is arguably the most influential force ever
his significance is certain to be forever

Elvis entertained like no-one before or since
with appeal surpassing that of any Prince
Reeling in awe when he sang was not by choice
you couldn't help but when hearing his angelic voice

Women lost control at the sight of this debonair man
screaming, crying, and lusting like no-other fanatic fan
Men felt he was cooler than anyone could be
all wished they could be as desirable as he

A unique talent that sang like no-other could sing
reason he became known throughout the world as "The King"
The dedication his fans possess for him will not fade
to them he is the most admirable person ever made

Like with many others a drug dependency took its toll
culminating in the early demise of his troubled soul
Each year his memory is celebrated at his Memphis home
at Graceland Mansion Elvis' spirit will forever roam

IF ONLY

Never imagined my eyes would be witness
to something as breathtaking as she
Captivates like Moon light glistening
atop the darkened sea

In this surreal moment my soul
feels 'one' with tranquility
These inexplicable feelings certainly
because of she

Incredibly resplendent body blinding from afar
though weak kneed I spring to a stand
I see her and I reminiscing outside Tiki Bar
following stroll along beaches shore hand in hand

Oh boy! I apparently nodded off
during night replacing day
Wow, that stupefying lady starred
in dream I had today

FRIENDS

The term 'Friend' recklessly used no doubt
call one 'friend' you know NOTHING about
True Blue Friends extremely rare if not extinct
agree or don't just wanna make you think

Not shocked that most possess gullible mentality
believing you have many friends isn't reality
Acquaintances or buddies much more reasonable
perpetual jealousy makes true friends less feasible

A morally defunct world negates trusting completely
BEST FRIENDS deceive you more discreetly
many so-called 'friends' are cunningly malicious
don't be blind there's reason to be suspicious

Two-Faced 'friends' are part of your everyday
that's a sad fact I can definitively convey
Vast experience validates my every word
truly clueless if you dismiss this as absurd

Witnessing "friends" stab "friends" sickens me
'friend' requires absolute 'trust' that can't be
When told "My Best Friend" did me wrong
I grin knowing it would happen all along

MOM

Mom, you left this vile world on Oct. 4, 2008
the utter cruelty of your passing I'll always hate
for a moment every day I cry for you inside
when you exhausted your last breathe I too died

Crushing emptiness since you left mother dear
love and thoughts of you could never disappear
Gatherings minus you lacks meaning like before
honestly they aren't looked forward to anymore

Mom I hope you forgave any hurt I caused you
inducing pain one thing I'd never purposely do
Most important was showing how deeply I cared
forever cherishing every single moment we shared

Love for you stronger than any words could convey
sorry if I made you doubt that for even a day
Saying "I hope I die before you" wasn't being insane
losing you brings to fruition my most undesirable pain

I knew your spouse induced unhappiness for years
your sadness I couldn't ease kept my soul in tears
You weren't just mom you were my only friend
hopeful we'll reunite after my life reaches its end

PRECARIOUS ADVENTURE

With reluctance friends enter the unexplored woods
immediately Mosquitoes try infiltrating their hoods
They suddenly become spooked by an eerie sound
as other airborne pest begin to swarm around

They commence to machete through dense brush
moving cautiously determined to stay hush
Group huddles closer while forwarding deeper
faces depict fear of alerting a Predacious sleeper

Body parts bleed from prickly scratches
shedded skins lay visible in patches
Ominous echoes permeate their ears
eyes opened wide reflect hidden fears

They turn to one another uttering not a peep
realizing they may have ventured too deep
They seem paralyzed about what to do
adrenaline gives fight to continue through

Each stare at one another with thoughts the same
let's fall back to entrance from which we came
They all scurry as their hearts intensely pound
after exit exhaustion drops them to the ground

LOVE

Love inexplicably strikes without warning
like lightning from ominous sky
Just as quickly leave one mourning
without a goodbye or reason why

Most joy stems from being in love
euphoria higher than heavens above
It's life shattering losing your mate
pain only broken hearts generate

Loves become arduous to maintain
like birds fighting gale force rain
Impedes seeing what cheaters disguise
reason many are repeatedly victimized

Initially believing love last forever
now married rarely remain together
Love has forever symbolized unfair
unfortunate for humans I declare
