Best Aspirer Poems
I stand before you a bitter man, my life ruled by anger and hate with a heart full of passion
and love trying to claw it’s way to the surface through a chest of ice.
I have control over my life and all within, my problems are my own and my fists do my
talking but if you were to take that control away, you would see my tears, tears of fear that
hide in the shadows of my soul, a sign of cowardice, a sign of weakness, a sign of defeat.
I stand before you a bitter man, my life ruled by the memory of my past with a child
battered and
bruised silently crying for the help he knows he’ll never get.
I have a partner who loves and respect me, I have children who look to me as a role model
but if you were to take this family away you would see a frightened little boy who is afraid to
be alone, scared of the dark and the monsters that lurk within, unable to cope with the
pressures of life who’s only feeling of safety comes with a blanket pulled over his head.
I stand before you a bitter man, my life ruled by the aspirer to be unlike those who took an
innocent boy and twisted, tore, broke and destroyed his soul for fun with a body full of pain
and anger.
I built the fragments piece by piece from a shattered remnant, broken still but able to feel,
although not complete I pass for human but if you were to take this soul from me and watch
as the pieces fell one by one to the cold damp floor, you would not want to look back up, for
no longer would I be on the edge of sanity but flying over the line like a vulture stalking it’s
prey, were there once stood a man would now stand a monster.
I stand before you a bitter man, my life ruled by my own selfishness and ignorance of all
things I don’t understand with a desire to learn everything and a young man who’s thirst for
knowledge is unquenchable.
I have with me a answer to everything, I twist and manipulate the question until my answer
fits like the smallest of hands in a newly knitted glove and is accepted without second
thought but if you were to take that answer away from me you would see a boy lost and
confused knowing nothing outside of his own range of mind, scared to venture into the open
world out of fear it may consume him.
I now stand before you a bitter man
With an aspiration to be greater than what I am.
Immaterial Soul
A sprout abundant of immortal hope,
a search of a pulse of love in his heart,
an empty threat vivid in a man of a dying soul,
as the echoes in his heart race to slay him whole.
Hope arrives within stone’s throw.
A shining star at the groove of absolute all-ness,
a crowning jewel for the kin Vincente’s,
the only appetite tis’ sole aspirer, to be one with all my family,
so shall it be my destiny found.
My greatest fear is death, the unknown timelessness of eternal life,
where confinement and salvation touch shoulders.
Immortality is a remote axiom, an alchemists’ fame of soul remembrance
A mortal’s search of Tipler’s omega point,
the last hope of salvation adjacent to this point,
tis not found but earned long as: the moral laws written on thy heart ensue.
Gilgamesh first state awed his last, the divines’ gift to he, astray,
the fountain of eternal life alludes his last state tis’ only hope is consciousness of thy neural network
Annus Miribalis hath hope for Gilgamesh’s immortal life.
So set him free. Let angles guide thy through the herculean task,
strength and honor hear of Gilgamesh’s survival, his sink in armor of humility indulgence, a chain of association whose lineage is of no close origins.
For gins today “weakness” in armor flourish as strength in fame of tomorrow.
A peerless thought patrols Gilgamesh’s talent, change the world with a breadth of “élan’ vital”
Annus Miribalis hath hope for Gilgamesh’s immortal life.
Through the looking glass of all mortals dogma,
Faith model give rise to sovereign heavenly body in one piece.
Tis thy divine decree. Sole talent forge the apples’ fruit skin,
Gilgamesh’s purpose put to bed past regret.
To unite, to end suffering and shatter all man-kinds intrinsic prisons.
Gilgamesh's journey tips the edge…
Have I mentioned how difficult it is
Being an artist
At a kids’ fair
That’s so nice you’re
Incredible you should
Keep it up
They walk by and I
Make my living on
Sweet words and
Sorry eyes because
I’m good but
Nobody cares, nobody
Comes back or
Spares the money the kids
Don’t
Care
i.
Glassy eyes like
Smooth polished lake, like
Underwater forests, like
Crashing sea salt water taffy
He says there’s a place where
My green scaled my
Yellow eyed my
Angry thorned seasnake
Shimmers round, circling
Children laugh and
Children sit royal
Secure in Mr. Seasnake and his
Loyalty because his
Anger gives way, because
Waves crash and give way, because
I painted my heart
In his eyes
ii.
He asks if I’ve seen it
If I’ve seen the recreation
The ceiling of the high school
Where students paint aspirations on the walls that contain them
Where Michelangelo’s a brushstroke away
Where they laugh because they know
The masters never die and
They are the masters now and
Tear it down all you like but
Adam is born
Again and again
At my fingers or
Yours in your mind or
Mine, Well
I hadn’t seen
I’d looked but
Not really I tell you I won’t forget
And the day before it burned I saw
Honest conversation like it’s
Written in the sky and I swear
I’ll paint your goodbyes
I’ll be the
Aspirer
Master
Student, my
Michelangelo
iii.
Have I mentioned you yet
You’re that woman I
Hope I’ll become that woman
I want to be you’re that
Smile breaking the boredom you’re that
I don’t know what I’m doing, that
Don’t have a plan but
I know what makes me happy so
Give me it all
There is this lady
whom I'll call Ms Maybe
cause she excites
and spites
each man in her life
as she's not ready to become a wife.
Ms Maybe
is a real Daisy
that turns shady
in the blink of an eye.
She's a one-of-a-kind flower
that transforms by the hour.
Goodbye lady who turns each admirer
and aspirer
into a perspirer.
Farewell Ms Maybe
whose heart has turned cold lately.
Hello Ms Steady
who is ready
to welcome her future baby daddy.
I've written a song for the Olympic Games in Paris, France, 2024.
The French version is via Google translation. Thank you. Hopefully it's a good one.

Olympic stars shine true
The world is watching you
Together we are one
Underneath this blue marble sun
Olympic stars shine forever
This time is your now or never
Seize the moment, seize the day
Be your best, come what may
Olympic stars shine bright
Like Olympus' Gods were mighty
We stand on each other's shoulders
And together we are golden
Olympic stars shine and spark
To be the best becomes your mark
Reach heights that we may rise
Teach us all to aspire and thrive
Olympic stars shine your greatness
Be the pinnacle of our human race
Set an example of integrity and vision
So that each of us will achieve our mission

Les stars olympiques brillent fidèlement
Le monde vous regarde
Ensemble nous sommes un
Sous ce soleil de marbre bleu
Les étoiles olympiques brillent pour toujours
Cette fois c'est ton maintenant ou jamais
Saisissez l'instant, saisissez le jour
Soyez à votre meilleur, quoi qu'il arrive
Les étoiles olympiques brillent
Comme si les dieux de l'Olympe étaient puissants
Nous nous tenons sur les épaules l'un de l'autre
Et ensemble nous sommes en or
Les étoiles olympiques brillent et étincellent
Être le meilleur devient votre marque
Atteignez des hauteurs que nous pouvons atteindre
Apprenez-nous tous à aspirer et à prospérer
Les étoiles olympiques font briller ta grandeur
Soyez le summum de notre race humaine
Donner l’exemple d’intégrité et de vision
Pour que chacun de nous accomplisse sa mission
