  • the plastic bag smile (have a nice day !)

    Reflected, an iris
    of colored contexts
    that once had reception without spectacles. 

    I signed voluntarily the letters to a name
    that I sincerely wanted to keep. 

    I tried to limit the lines
    that divided the print
    of a written statement of deliverance;
    a sealed inner sanctum
    that has remained defunct
    while displaced of force
    all along devout of a substance, 

    my words strived to be read
    ingrained on paper
    placed in constants
    among summations of variables 

    clearly he scribed drafts
    maintaining a patterned
    complex of metaphors
    only to contradict 

    the expressions layered,
    confusing this thinker
    so that the reader
    may interpret a plausible 
    audibility for thought 

    looking beyond spectrums
    of what is to be foreseen

  • Holding to Allow

    familiar waters
    flow like a wave,
    trickle a rhythmic down poor
    grasping solace spaces
    within conducive centers

    signs-other wise noted
    of alternating views,
    bundled for impulsive branches

    so that we may realize
    what we lack at times

    a pull upon the contrary
    system

    without a bias past



  • phases

    the lunacy that is foreseen
    from the eccentric glow
    of what we affix as attentive
    waves in contracted honesty 

    pulling for a duality
    despite our trained individuality
    with this intended dissension  
    we are seeking comfort 
    pushing within our fortified
    facades dwelling, foretelling

    melodic expressions revealing a need for innocence
    to run proportionally with socratic thought

  • two you

    I cannot deliberately let my thoughts
     submit to the analysis of others, 

    i play this bored game of horizontal
    and vertical accesses 
    repeatedly looking for anticipations 

    Waiting patiently in mannerisms
    yet arrested in my thoughts
    of what may surely come 

    Hiding behind pieces of subjected
    characterized moves, with expected directions
    looking for counters prefixed  with in black and white

     We autonomously stop time
    continue
    and repeat
     monotonously the labors
    of harboring secrecy  

    We seek company
    to displace reality
    within moving emotion 

    checking to see our common
    modality for commodities

  • 3PM.

    we write songs,
    methodically tapping
    in respiration and inspiration
    of each tone within;

    and, in verse
    we lend vocals
    to our local
    thoughts, though
    we ought to focus
    beyond us,
    we owe it to others.

    the listeners
    that bother our melodies,
    that sharply crash us flat,
    noting,
    that we have fallen
    beneath a metronome.

    an everlasting audience,
    where we continue to measure
    our cleft sentences
    punctuated with hands in offerings"
    and holding a drum stick!

    an angle missing from their perspective
    which has been subjective to incidence.

    a credence
    for our music

    we need it's alleviation and relation
    to our taxis for a mind of relaxation

  • Why has poetry been coupled with rhyme ?

    Poetry by any sort of standard definition is an exposition of one's thoughts, emotions, or experiences in which evokes a reflective emotional response to the reader.

    The interesting point that correlates Rhyme with poetry is the primal necessity of communication. When we speak a word or write and it has a measure of rhyme involved, one should look of the word choices and subjects behind the rhymes

    Rhyme from an etymological analysis is the use of similar sounds within the words of a language. Rhyme can be notably observed in the syllabic sounds of the suffixes and prefixes of words. Contextually suffixes and prefixes are derivatives in the evolution of human languages, where some words have been rooted and transplanted from even the most contrasting cultures.

    For example cat, mat, hat, sat, all have the stress use of syllable "-at" and from a perspective one an allude there is directive use in the base of the language in this case English. By changing the first letter we change one sound from an animal (Cat) to an action (sat). Language then builds on these similarities, which is notably seen in the Latin roots of most of the romantic language.

    The point that I'm attempting to make here is that there’s a connection of the roots of language and how rhyme conveys a emotional response; a poet chooses certain words to create imagery, symbolism, metaphor, personification etc. but with the use of rhyme the expression becomes bolder, and interpersonal with the reader. This typicality found with rhyme and poetry is not just a classic form of a writing medium it's a time capsule of how far our languages have diversified but yet have remained quite connected.

  • carry-on

    We travel
    from a place
    that for a time being
    we call home.

    Carrying our belongings
    to be assessed.
    How much does this weigh?
    ;upon your shoulders
    are the dimensions
    within a range of acceptance?

    the inquisition continues
    through piercing eyes
    that invade our privacy
    so that dangers
    may be diverted.

    in the relief
    we sit
    in thoughts
    concerns,
    realizations,
    and contentment
    abound emotions.

    We arrive and depart
    through terminals
    and gates.
    Labels with letters and numbers
    hopeful that our destinations
    will impart a change,
    because we travel
    here beyond human limits.
    Through the skies
    we have wings.

  • Socratic Realizations

    It is futile
    to rationalize and scrutinize
    the aspects of life,

    because for someone to truly understand everything;
    places the mind
    into a detached complacency and loneliness.

    A state of being that is not of human nature with even the most recluse.

  • Horizons

    time dwindles,
    like the whistling
    annoyance of the morning
    alarm clock
    upon the now perturbed
    ear drum.

    a thumping sound
    now sums up these tones and hands
    us passing sands again.

    hopefully gaining
    through the contours
    of this mind,

    a broad to narrow
    perspective of what reminds
    me of these times.

  • Constant Winters

    You sit there
    devout in your intentions,
    Deeply sure
    that the path laid
    is the path surely taken.

    Frozen in my views
    merely
    kneeling
    before alters of instituted obstacles,
    feeling, pleading with myself
    that what is set before me
    is a fork with a middle way
    taking my own trident
    to absolve into paganistic
    views of this world
    where each objective
    has a celestial voice

    my comforts are
    within knowing
    and not what I try to understand

    This is my mind thwarting fear
    but repeatedly left in complacency.
    Giving answers to my own questions
    While my self interrogation
    Never has been set in this time.

    But always focused on the future
    With a pessimistic view of the world

    So that I can be secure
    not be shocked, and surprised

    To prevent myself to be mechanized
    To form thoughts away from obscurity
    So that I will not compulsively lie to sleep

    I need to be difficult, and serious.

    I need to be a person that gives them self
    Hardships, days that put others to quickly raised flags
    Because for some unexplainable reason, easiness, failure, and simply being stationary
    Never has kept me defeated, but has provided me success.

    I know myself but not well, but enough to realize my faults, and actions

    My mind is always thinking, moving, caring, reasoning, and limiting itself
    Because I am still simply a human trying to use sense in this world

    We forget we are human;
    We lay frozen in these carnal desires
    We need to melt away
    And be mindful of our winters
