In The World of Make Believe

Leave a reply

The world is forever changing,
As we wake up,
Our bodies are forever paining,
So what’s up,
We forever blaming,
Do we know what’s wrong,
We are forever paving,
The world of make believe,
Why do we lie to ourselves,
I guess me, myself and I is not a team,
How can I believe lies,
Forgetting the burden of proof,
Which is truth,
So why do I run with lies,
The problem is really within you,
So rid our lives of lies,
And stick the facts,
A fact plus a fact,
Is a BIGGER fact.

In The Meantime

Leave a reply

While I sit by the window,
Waiting,
For I am always waiting,
Waiting for something interesting to pass by,
I see,
And only you,
Hiding behind the tree,
I know it was you,
It’s only you,
That wears that bright yellow hat,
And those flats,
Your ears tend to stick out,
I am not sure how you can ever,
Cover up that,
I see you, trying to pass by my house again,
Knowing you didn’t pick a flower for me,
Leaving me so sad,
I won’t chase you,
Just know,
Meantime I stay waiting,
I am missing you so bad.

Patterns To Break | Past Generations #poetry

Leave a reply

I wake up,
To meet me,
The person I created,
The person I always been,
Am I ready to break the habit,
For, I didn’t design this path,
It was created by mass culture,
My mom and dad couldn’t unclaim,
So I fight to break,
So I push and I kick,
Until the glass is shattered,
Going to places I have never been.

I love a good book. It’s a special time shared reading and taking in the words of an author, an authority and experience. I have a long list of books I want to read, but of course, I don’t have unlimited hours, as you can check my Goodreads book review listing and my Bookshelf Page on my website for more on books I am currently reading, and planning to read.

I am huge fan of sports & athletes and I love their stories.

1st on my list is, The Mamba Mentality by Kobe Bryant. As a former athlete in Soccer, Tennis, Track & Field, and Cycling, I can be highly competitive and have a strong personality. I feel I will have a lot to pull from this book.

2nd on my list is, Unlabel by Marc Ecko. Being a creative and a lover of fashion, culture and identity, this book is look in the right direction to understand my style and vision.

How To Love You With Warmed Hearts Cry | Poem

Loving You With A Warm Heart

As a token,
Of my dedication,
I am educated,
To feel your love,
Thus,
Sprinkled from the heavens,
I am begging,
To never be without,
However,
As I hold close,
Equally,
No takeaways,
Everyday is a brighter day,
Whereas,
I hope you never say,
I left you cold,
Further more,
I left you with a warmed heart.

Experimenting Through Failure | Poem | Story

Leave a reply

In my head, I stay,
For hours, for days,
In ways I try,
To create,
Something new,
Everytime I wake,
Deep down,
I want to find a hit,
A win,
So I can feel,
Something new,
Rather than losing,
Choosing to not quit,
I am experimenting,
With all I got,
And my wit,
Through all failure,
Until the hours,
The days,
Start to change.

Digging Through My Pockets | Poem | Quote

Digging through pockets,
I have always found,
Myself,
It’s just that some pockets are deeper,
And takes a bit longer,
Than expected.

The Life I Pictured A Year Ago

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
View all responses

Granted, I am a fun-loving, cool guy who writes free verse poetry in his sleep. I truly do create these amazing stories, fantasies, and concepts through my dreams and nightmares. Short-form writing has always been my key to life after learning psychology, I speak too much. Also, I learn in English after a few C’s; get to the point already.

Through reading more books, I learned many talents from Atomic Habits, One Minute Manager, Steal Like an Artist, The Art of War, and the 48 Laws of Power. Now, did I read these books in the same year? Nope! After talking to many people online and off, and watching many interviews with a handy pen and paper, or my smartphone notepad, I was put onto some of the most amazing books to be more well rounded in life.

One of the deepest sentiments I keep in my life every single year, which comes from my favorite HBO TV show, Entourage, is that I don’t want to be a suit. I can act like a suit, but I am a creative.

I picture myself a year ago, bursting back on the scene to explore more of my talents and skills and just be a positive influence on others, being a creative. Being a suit, for which I am a bit in my day work for unnatural reasons, I can come off strong and a bit menancing because I am very good at what I do, but being that empathic creative encourager of awesomeness and positivity, I will always thank my creative side.

Flying To Beaches, Eating Peaches, Shhh Don’t Tell Secrets | Free Verse

1 Reply

I would sing if I could,
I am boarding flights,
As I know I would,
To reach to the beaches,
Islands with sexy features,
Far from the normal,
It’s the risks I take,
Using the money I make,
Ooops another PTO used,
I am at the gate,
Starting to shake,
As the plane takes off,
A glass of wine,
My shoes are off,
I am flying high,
In the sky,
Fireworks in my eyes,
Can’t wait for my surprise,
As soon as I land,
Foot in sand,
Fuji, Thailand or Japan,
Bahamas, Aruba, I don’t give a damn,
Moving according to plan,
Peaches and fruits so juicy,
Meet me in the jacuzzi,
Listening to I Wanna Rock by Lil Uzi,
Bubbles & bottles are popping,
Juices are flowing,
Where I am at,
And who I am with,
You don’t need,
To be knowing,
Closed lips do exist,
Until they open wide,
I don’t tell secrets,
Tattle taling,
They ain’t even my style.
