Jesus Manriquez Poem
Young one, I will guide you as best as I can
But you can't always be stuck holding my hand
Young one, the world is yours just don't be afraid
When your world seems to darken, that is me casting you shade

Jesus Manriquez Poem
Prevented by chains of numeric organization
Ready for more but only stuck in contemplation
Just like a soldier told “Stay at your station”
Liberty and justice, now that’s a sensation
Life is hard but they hardly know my situation
My brain reaches panic due to this unjust nation
No reason to give up just told to be at ease
Calmness soothes, but causes time to freeze
Action and reaction, time to break this chain
Analyze, critique, sit and watch in pain
Bleakness and some turmoil come eat at the soul
Trying to start but stuck already on hold
Why or how, are but just some of the inquiries
Is my life going to always be stuck in this misery?
Bide your time, they say patience is a virtue
But waiting only does so much, it may just hurt you
Sip softly come drown your sorrows
Might as well who knows if there even is a tomorrow
Thieving and lying answering the devil’s call
Open arms ready to catch you right when you fall
No papers or numbers considered insignificant
Ride this train called life and look you’re diligent
Endurance is without a doubt the key to success
You can keep going as long as you have that thump in your chest
3 2 1 time to come to an end
Maybe I will drop more stories some time again

Jesus Manriquez Poem
Your hair is dark,
Your stature petite
If your beauty was my opponent
I would already concede defeat
Smooth and soft,
Silk is what describes you
To describe your skin,
I couldn't do it in a haiku
The reason being
Your beauty is divine
Delve into fantasy
Wishing you were mine
Soaring to the stars
Breaching past a cloud
My mind comes to panic
When I hear this beauty's sound
Her voice is soft
Her eyes hypnotize
Your heart like a pool
Where I would dip inside
Maybe it's lust
Maybe something more
Who knows exactly
What this future holds in store
But for now I contemplate
Wait for the proper time
I don't know your name,
And you surely don't know mine
You pass me a gaze
Confusion in the highest
I guess the question is
Which one of us is shyest?
Yet another gaze
This one directly to my eyes
Am I a fool?
Am I letting this chance pass by?
I remain serene
Looking confident on the surface
Why the smiles and gazes
What is their actual purpose?
Unsure and in doubt
I formulate a plan
I summon courage
For courage is what makes a man
The action is about to begin
When I tell you to sit next to me
I do not know what to call you,
So for now it will be caramel complexity

Jesus Manriquez Poem
Reared and disciplined
But never in immortality
Confined to repetition
Wading through banality
Longing for an aura of comfort and peace
I run from the reaper, as if I could escape that beast
She stalks me adroitly
I wait for her steel
My sweat is profuse
My soul I can feel
Warm is her touch
Gentle her demeanor
Loving her embrace,
A beauty if you have seen her
Before I could contemplate
Even the most logical thought
She marked me on her list
And of me, she never forgot
Oh reaper, come take me away
Vanquish the weak, but with you I wish to stay
Feeling so gelid without your caress
You whisper softly, "Come my child and lean on my chest"
I follow blindly for your voice is my nepenthe
Never could I expect such beauty to be so deathly
My soul I give to you and to you alone
Even the mightiest of kings, will one day give you his throne
My lady, come hither and remove my strife
I pray to you softly
Comfort me with your scythe

Jesus Manriquez Poem
Silent and swift
In the shadows you rest
Plotting your course of action
Your victims are what's next
You strike when least expected
The light causes you pain
Your method of attacking is cowardly
But of that you feel no shame
In the shadows you delve
In sin you find your peace
I think I see you coming
No it's just the movement of the trees
Muscles clench
I know you are near
Remain calm
Of you I have no fear
Though you are a demon
and indulge in profanity
I must be lax
I will not resort to insanity
My pathways are lonely
But only to some extent
You seem to be in proximity
With me your life is spent
Following me cautiously
Wishing to do me harm
I know I will conquer
That is why your presence is of no alarm
You laugh with much malice
And I return the favor
You come very close
But your threats have lost their flavor
I come to you now
When the odds have switched sides
Your are now my victim
And my victims will die
My prey I have made you
At my approach you retreat
I knock you to the ground
And shout "Get on your feet!"
Mostly empty bluffs and promises of danger
I have been through this before
We are familiars, far from actual strangers
Return to the shadows
from which you came
I strike with all might
and cast you to the flame
A vile creature
Your deserve no mercy
You tried to cause me pain
But your lies do not hurt me
I wake up to realize
This was all just a dream
But it felt so real
I could have sworn I heard you scream
A nightmare of a demon
Who whispers my name
You appear so real
But you are only in my brain
No matter, I dare you
To try and strike me once more
I am the champion
And your corpse I will leave to the floor
I await your return
Your remarks are very shallow
I grow bored of this
I come for you demon in the shadow

Jesus Manriquez Poem
Swift and elegant
You know what is best
But the masses blemish your name
They cause painful distress
Your heart and mind unified in singularity
Your actions are just, but they are often in scarcity
Pray softly,
May your deeds come to light
There is distinction between permissibility
And that which is right
I know you will come soon and cause revelation
Do so hastily, and without hesitation
I ask you kindly,
Recall the individuals which need you the most
I believe you will not let me down,
and to you I give this toast
For Justice the panacea and the remedy to us all
Your empire is grand, and your evil exploiters will fall

Jesus Manriquez Poem
Feet firm and steady on the ground
Don't fire yet, wait for the first round
The shrapnel flies,
it's already too late
The enemy is advancing
your life is now left to fate
Contemplating about your past
how once in your greater youth
Your searched far and asked why
Seeking out, justice and truth
Set out to serve your country and hold out her ideals
You are confident and ready, until you see what a bullet feels
Wounds the to the chest
Ringing in the ears
Life flashes by
Your face full of tears
Wishing to go back home
of find comfort in your platoon
The lead flies by
Your life may be ending soon
Your world turns to black
Your vision goes to obscure
You wind up back in a hospital
They say rest is your cure
Reminisce of the events which got you to this moment
Medicine is your remedy, it's usually something potent
They claim you a hero, for your valiant deeds
But just recalling the events causes you to freeze
The horrors of war scar your inner mind
They send chills right down to your spine
You were raised to fight back, as if there were any other choice
It seems like you have been brain-washed
To simply vanquish, and rejoice...
