A Heart Bright Like the Sun

When I came to this crossroad, I met this lovely young lady.

She had no face and I could only see her soul.

I knelt down beside her and said how is your soul is so radiant?

She said when you center yourself, you enter the state of allowing yourself to see all that is good and evil.

She was the one meant for me and her soul was as bright as the sun.

I took the road to the left and never saw her again.

The next day I came back and there was no light at the crossroad but a black heart.

What is the moral of the story?

This is how I feel.

No one is for certain who you will meet at each crossroad of our lives.

Don't lose a chance to make something out of each crossroad.

Then I picked up that heart put it in the pocket on my sleeve and wore it there for all the world to see.

I walked across a tiny wooden bridge where I met a man with no soul just a mangled face.

We spoke about the people on this road.

We talked till sunset.

He said I can give you what you need.

He wanted to buy a page of my story in exchange that he would revive her.

He goes on, give me your hearts and I will make you one.

I gave the gnarled-faced man, our hearts to be intertwined.

He pushed them together, fusing them in a great ball of light that escaped with colors the likes that the world has ne'r seen before.

Hope was born.

She never came back but I had a newfound appreciation for love.

Love is not always going to be handed to us, it's never easy, can't be bought, and always comes with a price.

I wanted to find love but the mangled-faced man gave me hope.

It is so strange what the darkness brings and how it brings out the light in places where you would never see it.

Lost Boys

Lost Boys So am I lost. When I walk around aimlessly,   To you I appear lost. I’m not you. I would never have that desire. Being chained to a wall like a yellow canary. Chirping when there is a lack of air. You suffocate me. I’ve only been lost once. When that canary died I became lost. I almost didn’t make it out. You slowly choked the life force out of me. Till swam out of your grasp. It was like breathing air for the first time. I wander because I can, Not because I’m lost. See me for who I am. Trust me it could be worse. I know who I am. Do you know who I am. I’m an entity unto all my own. I'm not sure if this is about anyone in specific but I have a feeling it's about my ex bestfriend. If it is this correlates to when I was dumped and she said I'm afraid you'll amount to nothing because you hung around him. I am my own entity and I march to my own beat through life. It also could correlate to how ...

Manners

Manners P’s and Q’s. We hear about do’s and don’ts. Where’s my five dollars a man screams out the bus window. The kid sending his father off to the mines,   Says look in your box. Don’t look past the future. We should name our children after gods, prophets and philosophers. Not cars, cereal or carnal pleasures. Flip flop for a second. Hold my hand. Grow old with me she says softly. Leave me alone she screams. It’s over we know. Ride free, flip the handle bars of life and pop a superman. We know some of us struggle.   Who said you get a fighting chance. Think about it   You could have been somewhere else. Today is the best time to be born. Mind your manners. You could have been snuffed out. Hold your hand out and shout. Don’t be too proud to give away those five dollars. You might need it down the road. This was just a fun poem about how life is fast and jumbled sometimes. As it being a mess, we s...

I'm the Oldest Damn It!

What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude. -Brené Brown I was told that my siblings don't want a relationship with me because I at some point said in a way that I'm the oldest and I deserve respect. When you are in your twenties you're dumb as bricks when it comes to common sense. Obviously being who I am and my DNA, I would be heated a little. I've grown up a lot since I was in my 20's. I moved to back to Syracuse to form a relationship with my biological family. It obviously didn't work because I'm the black sheep and it's okay even if it hurts my biological dad. I don't know if they all the abuse and who he was before he was their father. Now he's a 180% different man and they are lucky. I didn't get that opportunity that they were privileged with. God's power has the ability to change even the most wicked men. I'm thankful for God's grace because many instances I'd be dead. He poured out his grace and mer...
