The Mystery Of Destiny

Destiny, oh destiny, why hide thyself from me.
Come out, come out, for all to see.
A life filled with struggle, then at last a surprise.
Why not reveal now how I self-actualize?

Have I no choice of my destination,
How I’ll proceed in my maturation?
How many ways could there be?
Or outcomes to this mystery?

More than one, surely a few,
Leave some things to chance, it’s the least you should do.
I want to have challenges and growth each day,
A purposeful life as I travel my way.

Life’s surely not over, with just destiny
My soul longs to live for eternity.

I Swore I Would Not

I have grown tired of violence over love. 
I threw my cautions aside when I felt this for you,
and I swore I would not be a punished woman. 
You will not be the exception to this any longer.
I cannot believe I thought I could find love in this pain,
as if I deserved to sift through your eagerness to anger to find what love you could spare for me. 
I do not know when I will actualize the reality of where my heart is now,
but I cannot pretend anymore that you did not break me. 
I do not know when you first said you did not love me,
I don't know why I let you take it back. 
But I do not love you, because I cannot love you.
Not when you don't love me.

Success

From the nadir of your hopes
You may rise to the zenith of success
With discipline and diligence
Putting to good use the sinews of your youth.

With commitment and steadfastness
Working vigorously to achieve your goals
And with a mercurial temperament
You're sure to actualize your dreams
For without actions dreams turn become mere myths.

For from the nadir of your hopes 
You may rise even to the zenith of success
You shall rise from the dust 
Beyond the skies shall be your attainments.

You would seem to many a young duckling
Your success story will move many to awe
The secrets behind his success story 
Shall remain an unsolved mystery.

Self Actualize

Darkness falls into endless sleep
Ego spawns, grows to overleap
This dark enemy gloats with glee
A silent death I shall be free

Demons expose the tools of use
With great happiness, self abuse
As if to be an open quay
A silent death I shall be free

Angst of worried despair and grief
There is no end nor no relief
Torture oozes from this emcee
A silent death I shall be free

To kill this ego deep inside
My focused mind becomes clear-eyed
Filled with peace, joy and so much glee
A vibrant life I shall be free

Context
Be like water - still, calm or move rapidly with momentum to bring fresh life.
Even the egotistic ocean of wild seas soon settles to be greeted by the warmth of the sun.

The Phone Number of Death

The phone number of death we dial,
When we near a poisoned phial
To rashly swallow its content,
And actualize a suicidal intent:
Our breathing soon in wheezes,
What the cemetery richly pleases,
A gripping of our tummies in feeble resistance
Every offered revival, vain assistance
Others to start rehearsing their goodbye
To us on a wished hearse lie

And the same phone number we try,
As we enrage folks that skin fry
Before advancing cops of pity dry
And into claims of being surrounded not pry
To pick their life sentence with smiles wry…

Now that I’ve said so I shan’t cry.

Stream of Conciousness

collaborate, elaborate

conductively emasculate

submissive, entanglement

collectively salivate.

redistributive contemplate

delirious encapsulate danger-

actualize, substitutive penalize.

collectively, abstractness from

radiance to darkness.

antagonistic death rate

the fallacy in dead weight.

reprehensible antithesis

conglomerate esophagus. 

speckled and corroded,

constructively demoted.

perniciously solitude, destitute and longitude.

contact free cohesively elongated actuality.

substantially creative

ingeniously innovative.

crafting masterpiece from thread

contempt breeds success or death.

the effort does not translate to achievement.

Alternate Paths

ALTERNATE PATHS 11/11/ 21 
BY LYDIA BRESCIA

My eyes are leaking out the sorrow of a pain 
deep within. Letting go of a passion boldly waved 
before me like a matador teasing a bull. 

It was a Probable reality rich with satisfaction 
and Value Fulfillment trying to actualize
with Not Enough Fuel....
offering a glimpse of untold Joy mixed with Lessons. 

Not chosen-an empty Pathway leading to some 
Other reality, not mine!
That one was for someone else to try! 

Then Hope opened another doorway 
leading to some other reality an
even more Joyful probability...
This one ready to come into being!

This one, Ahhh.... includes all that's needed 
to surpass the joys and pleasures and passions
even glimpsed in the un-created path! 
These Lessons were learned with 
Fun and abundance!

This alternate path has a Door
to the Universe Within! <3

Lighted In Spirals

LIGHTED IN SPIRALS

Rewrite the stars,
Strip the firmaments,
Empty the stacks of rain
as the world moves slow mo'
in a spherical spirals of clouds.
Let brightness confine darkness
till the days are profitably used-up,
Then nights can steal day's glory;
Spin us all for the quickie,
Let destinies actualize speedily,
Then the world can only be ours
as we ravel in universe lighted spirals.
Did you think no one can rewrite the stars?
The answer lies in the belly of imagination.

Pouring Down Snow

It's snowing outside today
and sticking in spots
it's as cold as an icicle in the airway
our heat is kicking on lots

I've been thinking concerning messages
that gets sent by our work
I believe a misunderstanding regarding images
that aren't what I meant to perk
if that is the case I apologize
I'm not an evil person for sure
and appreciate the comments you actualize
I'll aim to be clearer adjure
the way I present is meant not to conflict
with anyone who does read
I hope my voice is clear and without to afflict
for I'm trying to be a careful creed

It's snowing outside tonight
it'll be gone by tomorrow it seems
I wish you all a swell night
in whatever time zone sweet dreams

Be Not What You Think You Are But Who You Are

Faith is conceptual belief
and like heaven itself 
it needs no proof
as it transcends time, place,
history, culture and space.
Yet, as faithful as we may be,
we are not of heaven
but are beings of the earth—
Unable to divorce ourselves
from the experiences of time, place,
history, culture or perceived cosmic space.

Life is an earthbound reality
perceived and lived in time, place,
history, culture and space.
And liberation is not what we think
but what we must fight to ensure to be—
To merely seek, ask and knock
is as conceptual as faith is; whereas
fought for and won liberation
is the result of the reality of perceived truth:
you shall know the truth and the truth
shall set you free—free your mind and you are
not just what you think you are but who you are.

P.S:  To think thoughts is one thing;
         to actualize them is another thing.
         Reality is not a concept but an actuality.

A Viennese Waltz

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Viennese waltz, seamless and sublime...
We move as one, adrift on heaven's floor;
and, though my knees go weak, sky-high I soar!
Each measured stride defies a need for time.
Within its reign, we actualize our climb...
impassioned flames, no longer keeping score, 
now steal their way through paradise’s door,
and hardly contemplate this choice a crime.

But, in this blissful state, subdued yet free, 
I've come to fear the thing that I love most
for flames still threaten to devour me;
and I, alone, am dancing with a ghost. 
Each dream, concrete, then sheds all certainty; 
alive, fulfilled, I'm left an empty host…

Time To Grow Up, Time To Let Go

A no brainer, my darling, to continue playing games
Steaming hot one moment, next moment blowing cold
As though cold water couldn’t quench love flames
When like a rogue driver brave braking action you withhold

Hoping a head on collision you can so prevent
With your eyes closed and bullying tactics pushed forward
To actualize an evolutionary event
In which we reap our fair reward

But for the umpteenth time
We run round and round in sterile circles
Aiming for progress only to mime an irrelevant rhyme
Expecting to work miracles

In scenarios you poison
On purpose
As I shout ‘treason’
From the servile source

You glorify
In earnestness
Only to magnify and stupefy
The sadness

That drowns my wonderful world in a sea of sorrow
Without any relief
Yesterday, today or tomorrow
As your mischief

Heightens my determination once and for all
To brighten up prospects for joy
To return to you and I despite the fall
From grace which at our expense debacles enjoy  

Unless either you and I decree it’s time to let go
Or it’s high time we grew up
Escapades, futilities, fantasies and failures to forgo
To gulp good tidings from our lofty love cup.
