Best Potential Poems

You can act like the world owe you everything 
Or you can go out there 
Take a deep breath

Old girlfriends, my dad’s drifting down that path,
Into death valley as my mom seethes wrath.
The old man’s gone crazy.
His mind sharp, not lazy.
Mom’s dried the dishes. Dad’s in the flight path.

Is this tangible as depicted by my senses?
Never knowing if I am here or there in my alibi,
Foreseeing a multitude of path that lies in unison,
Intuitively choosing as choices disappear in the drag,
Nesting in my being, will I bid in a fond adieu?

Mother,

I meant to finish college and
go get my Master’s degree,
to become and engineer
and built great things in our cities.

I meant to show you my new house
with a suite above the garage,
so you could leave that damn ghetto
and have a safe placed to lodge.

I meant to...

Weekend clouds remind me of home
Deviating myself not to be alone
The sky during sunset turns pale
I fell into a loophole the day after.

Many hold you during the first breath
They will be there behind, watching you
Even moments with mates never fade,
You hope to have eternal time...

promise may be both a blessing and curse
sometimes turning into something far worse
potential the symbol for higher things
