Seeing Past the Misty Fog (Poem)

As I pull through in the misty fog,

Everywhere is blurry 

But the forefront. 

I put my backpack on my back,

I open it, 

Let the trash drop. 

One by one 

The trash drops, 

As I steadily gaze at the forefront,

Fully immersed on this present moment, 

To bring me all I love and need, 

Fully immersed on this present moment, 

To unfold my path and destiny.

Devotion in the Wrong Place

Some gain the world, but they lose themselves in the process. For what good is it to gain the world, but not acknowledge his true self? And what good is it to live a life of luxury, and wear the most expensive garments, but not know anything about his true identity? Danny G.

I want to take this opportunity to inform my readers that my paperback book and e-book “23 Poetic Cues” is available for purchase on the homepage of my website. Have a great day!

Needy for Love (Poem)

Stacey was a kind-hearted soul,

Wanting to make her mark in the world.

Happy and seemingly carefree,

Perky and everyone adored her.

Though she was upbeat at first, 

She craved attention 

And affection,

So much that it became her only obsession. 

Her dad was a drunk,

Would get home from work, 

Drink all night long.

Though she loved her dad, 

As he was fighting his demons inside,

She knew there was much more to his disguise. 

The more she craved his attention, 

She felt empty inside.

She had this obsession, 

For a man to love her 

And guide her path.

She became needy for love,

Outside love became her only obsession 

And joy.

She could not stop this obsession, 

Until one day, she looked in the mirror

With a dismayed expression on her face,

And told herself, 

Love is from within,

And knew, her life was forever changed.

Future Changes With Perspective (Poem)

I look at you, from a distance saying,

How will you unfold from this distant smile?

Will you live in the moment, as the Buddhists do? 

Will you embrace the moment, 

Be you, and chase your dreams? 

Will you press pause, 

Stand still, despite the pain? 

The moment I choose, 

The future changes,

And the moment I choose, 

From a state 

Of grace, 

The future changes. 

The moment I choose, 

From this space 

Of enlightenment,

The future changes.

Press pause, stand still,

And just be.

From this state of grace,

Everything changes,

From this space of enlightenment, 

Everything changes,

For me, you,

And the ultimate expansion 

Of humanity.

I Forgive You Because (Poem)

I forgive you because, 

Holding on to hurts of the past 

Is being shackled to the ground

With no escape 

But the sound of your voice belittling,

With your sarcastic remarks.

I forgive you because,

If I don’t,

I will sleep walk my whole life,

Never getting anywhere 

But listening to your voice

Condescending and obstructive. 

I forgive you because, 

The one who holds on, 

Never embraces the world 

For all its beauty but imperfections

To discover ourselves anew.

I forgive you because,

It’s the only way to correlate, 

And accept the world 

Despite its imperfections  

And treachery.

I forgive you because,

It’s for my own good,

And I forgive you, 

To move on, 

From the sabotaging pain,

Of holding on.

Searching From the Core (Poem)

We’re always searching for more,   

Through the highs or lows,

We have a burning desire, 

To feel more 

Inside our soul.

Life is a series 

Of seasons, 

To discover ourselves anew,

In a process of love, opposites and desire.

We all seek expansion,

To escape the boredom and latent,

In the upbeat, chaotic world of our nation.

Some sleep walk, 

Others persistently march, 

Towards their destiny,

And follow the mark.

Others follow the pact, 

And end up with back packs 

Loaded with scrap.

As we contemplate 

It’s all a choice,

Which inevitably,

Leads us back home.

If we simply listen,

Past the distractions 

Of the chaotic disarray, 

We hear the voice within, 

Calling us to greatness.

 

Despair Made Me Stronger (Poem)

My deepest moments of despair, 

Brought about my strength,

And perseverance and faith.

The moments I so wanted an escape, 

Were the moments I prayed and praised 

Despite the heartache.

The moments of despair   

Reconciled me into appreciation.

It’s what pushed me to be grateful, 

Despite the trash in my back pack.

This persistent wave of despair and depression, 

Would knock me down 

Aggressively without warning. 

A constant cloud, 

That would follow me

Just waiting to be poured on. 

It’s my stiff upper lip, 

My determination, 

That pulled me through, 

Despite my carry-on loaded with scrap. 

Today I thank my despair, 

Because in the end

It made me stronger, 

Persistent, 

And aggressively bold,

To not give in 

Until my promise is fulfilled, 

And I’m still standing, 

Like a palm tree,

That bends, but never falls.

 

Love is a Compass (Poem)

Love is a compass,

A guided direction 

To bring us closer 

To our divine destiny.

Though we may not know it,

Every loved one brings us closer, 

To our dreams,

And mission.

As we struggle to find the answer,

A loved one gives us insight, 

To our divine calling and 

Unanswered questions.

Though we fight or argue,

Love always sustains, 

Because we’re all human beings 

Interconnected as a whole.

Though some come, some leave,

The true ones always leaves a print,

And one step closer

To our divine destiny.

One step closer, 

To understand to each other

And ourselves as a whole.

Worth in the Wrong Places (Poem)

Some search their lifetime,

For wealth, riches  

And fame.

The exhilaration 

Of riches, fame, 

Compliments 

And flatters, 

All for possessions and a pay check.

They live their lives, 

Trying to gain worth, 

Through their name 

And pocket-book, 

And status. 

Then when finally, their dream is fulfilled,

They have all the money they wished, 

And compliments and flatters 

Behind a hidden mask.

One day, 

When the riches and fame

Evade them,

They lose themselves, in the process.

True Love is Inevitable (Poem)

True love is inevitable, 

Like a magnet 

That never ceases to attract.

Like a roller coaster ride, 

That never ceases to die.

A true connection,

More than lust,

A reunion with a soul,

That we need for expansion as a whole. 

A reunion that never ceases to exist, 

As they imprint their name in our heart,

And help us fulfill our mission.

A reunion that’s unavoidable, 

Because these two are meant to be,

Bound for connection 

Ultimately, to complete our soul.
