Sorest of cheated hearts, by Time
An unfulfilled dreamer's.
Youth regained! When the Eterrnal
Draws such of flights, ideal.
Now on soul-wings! Till the substance
Of those happy visions
Demystifies. Love, its roofed ark;
Both a-gleam; in God's park.
FREE DREAMS, EXPENSIVE HUSTLES
HUSTLE: the power to hold dreams by the throttle
And run individual race like a hurdle.
DREAMS: You see her in abstraction, form-fleshed,
Holds the power to set the real you unleashed.
HUSTLE: He's your companion to the dreamland,
It demystifies obscurity & what you can't withstand.
DREAMS: the currency of the rich and famous,
the lingual franca of the poor and ignoramus.
Irrespective of economy, the DREAM is free,
the HUSTLE is sold separately & answers not to plea.
DREAM big but spend the HUSTLE currency well enough.
Big dreams are what big hustles are made of.

Immersed in doctrine from the very start
I never stood a chance to realize
that souls offtimes begin with works of art
God's truth opaque instills, demystifies
Sapient Mystics such as I can't comply
lifted up to the sky those amber eyes
of mine dilate, with questions giving rise
a sequence of pure grace with love agape
Buddhist velathums of sojournic plies
my soulful essence finally, takes shape.
