Why is my heart always full of chaos?
As if it meant to stay in a cage,
Thinking it will come to pass
And filling my mind with a unwritten page.
A rush of sweet dizziness conquer my heart,
It always makes me to run away
Like trying to make a piece of art
But it seems my love wants to fade away.
The days and years are my witness,
As if asking the Lord who I am
I don't know how my feelings need your warmness
Hoping you see just as I am.
The chances that I would meet you,
in this chaotic sea of humanity,
were thinner than a whisper on the wind,
yet somehow—your eyes found mine.
Among strangers with fleeting faces,
you stood still, like a lighthouse burning
through fog and confusion—
a soul I must have known before time began.
Every heartbeat before you was noise,
a restless tide, a meaningless current.
But when your hand brushed mine,
the noise quieted into music.
How strange, how cruelly beautiful—
that in this endless storm of existence,
where souls drift and vanish without reason,
I found you.
And if fate is but a cruel mathematician,
let her try to count again—
for love like ours is not chance,
it is the universe remembering itself.
I think a lot in my head
I wish I could just go to bed
Blinded by thoughts and emotions
The seas of thunder and errosion
The crickets seep into the ears
Blinded by the emotional tears
My brain is exhausted and toasting
My head spinning like it’s roasting
These thoughts I can’t stop
Accelerating to the very top
My patience for this is wearing thin
I itch and peal my skin
I want to get out of this horrid body
Dragged through despair becoming knotty
Though I hate living in this flesh
I also hate my intrusive mesh
Drowning in my own Delusion
Nothing can keep up my illusion
The smiles are all fake
At any moment I might break
Cloaked with
courage---
charity
clashes against
commitment as
carnality
ceaselessly
craves for
comfort while
concern
criticized for
carefree
collaboration
caused by lack of
circumspection
cries out in
confusion for
clarity midst
continual
clamor toward
consecration as
chaotic
chants of
compassion
confront my
conscience only
CHRIST*
can completely
conquer
covering me with
confidence!!!
*Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Seeing you makes me wonder,
How your life's been doing over.
I hope you're getting better,
In everything, you'll be greater
You're happy that's good,
You seemed to be in a great mood.
It's like the warmth of the firewood,
On that part I understood.
In the future don't be scared,
Always be ready and be prepared.
So that in problems you won't be ensnared,
From having a harsh outcome, you'll be spared.
Always take care of your health,
As it is considered as wealth.
Sickness is good at stealth,
Make one wrong move, and it can make you melt.
Avoid people who are chaotic,
Most of them are liars and dramatic.
It's ironic,
That you draw those who're problematic.
Enjoy your day,
Always be okay.
In sadness don't stay,
In problems find a way.
Keep smiling,
Avoid overthinking.
Push forward on the path you're taking,
Be successful and achieve everything.
Focus on self-improvement,
Strive for your achievement.
Make sure to use your talent,
Be like stars as they're eminent.
She's strutting down the neon streets,
With a smile that the world can't beat.
Glitter rains from every note,
Catching fire in her velvet coat.
Crowds roar wild, the beat won't slow,
She's the spark that sets the show.
Dizzy lights and hearts that sway,
In her name, the night's in play.
Gold confetti, fame untamed,
A legacy with joy proclaimed.
Her tunes, they crash, a tidal wave,
On the stage, she's bold, she's brave.
In chaotic bliss, she spins so free,
A dance with fate, her jubilee.
From country twang to pop-star's crown,
Swift's the queen, and never down.
In this shambolic mess of a chaotic world,
insanity has been breeding with contempt.
Fueled by selfishness, narcissism and greed,
they're the motives that lead people astray.
With insatiable wanting more than they need
they proceed to covet things, come what may.
They will take that ego journey and be spurned,
burned, ostracized, and despised by those
with torches to light a flame beneath their toes.
Then, hear them cry while watching them die
for inhumanity in a blazing bonfire of their vanity.

stan sand
Chaos ensues when she enters the venue
Deep-seated insecurities and childhood issues
She takes the beauty and makes it problematic
Chaos is a defining feature of her habits
She aughts be in pictures an award-winning actress.
She embodies the measurements of a diva in distress
She leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes
like a wildfire burning out of control
Malicious, disparaging, unsightly, and misguided
Anger and confused she realizes her world is divided
She wants the power to conquer everyone’s lions
Yet getting taken down by her demonic giants
She's both cold like frost and fierce like a flame
Slurring, cursing, and scandalizing everyone’s name
She is one-sided, so don't waste your time
Trying to persuade her otherwise
The Cross is the only thing that could save that girl
Truth, that’s brighter than a gem, purer than pearls
It's time to unshackle from that intense cord
Jesus’s sacrifice is a gift it is not your award
You don’t have to be pretentious
Just apply yourself & unborn
Time’s brush paints the canvas
of a year untold with precision;
Fine details and soft strokes
take on an emotional outburst;
Of a year untold with precision
the clock accentuates highlights
shaped like roller coaster skylines;
Fine details and soft strokes
joyous freestyle of highs and lows;
Abstract design’s the buzz of life;
Take on an emotional outburst
with a brand new color palette;
Coast on all of the chaotic shades.
The chaos spins like wild tornados
Here, there, on the land everywhere
Disease, war, hatred, chemical weapon
Money is flying in darkness like confetti
Captured by criminals who have demands
Deaths reported daily, now loss of wildlife
Humanity is attacked viciously in every way
The future falters on weak, shaky ground
Days turn into survival, filled with defense
Truth is buried by corrupt liars with messages
Truth tellers who are trying to help, slandered
Evil is literally spreading like a tidal wave hit
It takes courage to pursue goodness against bullies
Hold on tightly to your faith, pursue your purpose
Time is limited amidst loss as seasons change
Love and love some more, wherever you can
Soon through the retreating cold, crocus will bloom
With colors from the love of God to woman and man

I traipse the globe as a travel blog pro,
My peregrine pace never gets too slow -
So crazy chaotic,
Extremely exotic -
Runs me into places and out of dough.

chaos
guilty conscience
count to ten and calm down
compose yourself, collect your thoughts
confess

Contest: Writing Challenge - C words
a cinquain:2,4,6,8,2 syllables, alliteration
Swirling round and round heading down.
Straight and out I cannot see.
Confusion and cloudiness blurry the way.
Swirling round and round heading down.
Mindlessly dancing round the day.
Fixing a gaze of the path of the confused.
Swirling round and round and heading down.
Straight and out I cannot see.
in this whirlwind world
pay the toll shaken the soul
once more and again
