Introspect Poems

My soul was killing my flaws

I look at my soul killing its flaws. I appreciate it and let it do so. But when I came back to earth to show them a perfect human, I realized my mistakes made me who I am. Without my flaws, I am just a perfect human—but not me.

Introspect

The fiery tiger lilies upon greenest stems are blossoming
As the sunset behind the gray clouds is dimly glowing.
Gratitude for how every one of us just keep on growing.

Introspect

Are you educated or just literate
Can you replicate or do you just imitate
Are you original or do you plagiarize
Do you comprehend or do you just memorize

How many of your aims are on target
If your reverence for God is on a budget
Are you given to greater works
Or are you wallowing in the allure of the perks

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Windward

The wind
is an agent of change
so I face it
head on

and it always obliges.

Driftwood

The shores

in their stranded
moments of grace.

The Introspect

faith, you kill spiders and cry
faith, you won’t ask questions
how can you not care why?
you listen everyday to everything

the earth’s glow through my blinds
but do you present my chagrin across
and how do you really love?
sight

soul, my tear-soaked little child
soul, you

Harvard Night Introspect (Walls Vs. Bridges)

Harvard, at night - You still sit on the lawn
with the weight of both structures alive in your arms
Rachmaninoff's tears turning black at your hips
The counting of friends on your five finger tips

Sawdust and poetry, building the wall
A thousand feet wide, a thousand feet tall
Running for life times, for miles, a span
built in your introspect,
