SIDEWAYS EIGHT PROJECTS

This flood of emotions has left me breathless. In the midst of all this commotion somehow death is less of an imposing threat as it once was. Once you have been overcome by your fears, then they have been faced once and for all. You can walk away from them completely, as if they were never there to begin with.

Water is life. Life becomes abundant and green. The flourish aids the spirit. The spirit aids everything.

Embrace the life you have and kiss the wind hello,

Give cheers to those in grave, and those meek and mellow. Celebrate as you can, for the only promise is now, waiting for the unfolding plan, waiting for the fulfilled vow.

~ Longing ~

.

Longing for a place where there is justice and mercy.

Longing for someone’s stare in love, not trying to hurt me.

Longing for fulfillment in every breath, peace in every step, and a spirit that is kept just as quiet as it is kept well adept.

How easy is it to become fulfilled? How challenging is it to live virtually without privacy? Our moments become eons. Our minds become privatized isles. Impenetrable fortresses. Castles of creativity surrounded by moats for sale. The highest bidders are eager to destroy our castles ironically by promising to make everything about them better.

When you have a quiet moment at work.

If you don’t have a quiet moment at work.

When you look in the mirror.

When you look in the fridge.

Along your commute

Coming and going.

Please, take care of yourselves.#poet #poets #poem #poems #poetry #poetsofinstagram #poetsofig #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poemsofinstagram #poetry_addicts #poemsporn #photography #instapics #photographersofig

Help me not to judge. Help me to understand. Help me not to criticize. Help me to elevate. Help me not to breed apathy. Help me to inspire.

Today I reflect upon a King making declarations from the mountaintop. Today I marinate in the art of this world in the wake of deep and regrettable loss. For, in feeling heard, it is my jaw that drops, and a flowing heart of stone gathers moss.

For, if there were no plays, I would not act. If there were no concerts, I would not sing. But even if I was dropped on an island far from this beaten track, unable to bring a journal or a pen, my will would burn again and again, and it wouldn’t change a thing.

I would still be a poet. For as long as I’m alive, I’ll have ink in my veins. As long as I’m alive, my skin will begin to tell stories of pains. For I will always find something to write with, even if I have to cut myself to do it. And I will always find something to write on, even if there’s no one else around who knew it. And, I will always recite what is written aloud, as my bottled message is throttled at the sky. Not because I am proud, but because it is always my reason why.
