Prince Jargo
was on a mission to
slay the evil green dragon
of the kingdom of
Wondrous Land
which consisted of people,
kindly dragons, dragonflies,
huffle-winks and the
mean-spirited green dragon,
his father King Andro insisted
it was time for young
Prince Jargo to be initiated
into adulthood and prove
his worthiness and valor
for the entire kingdom.
King Andro told his son
that he needed proof that
the green dragon was slain
by having him return with
part of its scaly tail and
heartless heart which would
be on display before all the
residents of their land to
celebrate Jargo's courageous
feat and the change of his
status to manhood.
The journey to the cave where
the green dragon lived was
perilous as Prince Jargo and
his white steed climbed carefully
several hundred feet high as
clouds drifted before them
obstructing their view of the
high-altitude lair making
the adventure more difficult
and challenging for the
young and nervous prince.
Suddenly, a fiery streak several
feet long knocked Jargo off his
horse making him dizzy with pain
when he realized he was attacked
by the fiery emblazoned tongue
of the green dragon whom he was
to slay or would he be slain instead?
Unshielding his shiny and diamond
studded sword, Jargo entered the
slimy and awful reeking cave in
which the green dragon lived and to
his dismay discovered that there wasn't
any sign of the dragon making him
wonder how it could hide since his
proportions being tall as several
stories would make it impossible
to do so.
Quickly, Jargo left the cave shaking
in his boots from a fear he had never
known just to become a princely man
for the Wondrous Land and his father's
approval of him.
Immediately, as he stepped outside,
he faced a stumble block----the giant green
dragon was on the ground and not moving
at all, looking still as if dead, so Jargo pierced
it with his sword several times to confirm
of its demise which made the entire
situation much easier for him as he sliced
off part of the tail and cut out its heart,
all proof was packed as he descended
down the steep trail to be welcomed by
King Andro as a courageous and manly prince
who slayed the evil green dragon.

The best of us don't make sense
And it's hard to show all the corners of us
But there is no one to blame but our nature
When what's inside we are supposed to nurture
And it's a case of good vs bad
For some, evil vs the taste of the devil
For that fool likes it more than sour
He make a minute of fear feel like an hour
The best of us see what many others don't
The best of us go through things we can't explain
And the best way to handle what others consider “crazy”
Is to just stay sane. So damn sane.
He may seem so strong, she may seem so soft
Yet it's the talkers just trying to find themselves…
Through words
Yet it's the weak ones who choose to cave in early…
As if suicide doesnt take strength.
And no matter what we go through
Some part of us always stays the same
Some part of us just wants to lay down and rest
While the world wants to continue on with its game
And you don't have to tell a soul
How you really feel about anything
And you don't have to let anyone help you
Even God waits for you to ask
Its called free will, and in it you should bask
And you can change all you want
But you can't replace your womb-given soul
Us women, we literally grow a soul in our core
Only a fool afterwards would strive to do more
And i get sick of being here
Yet i know i have been put someplace safe
Still…yet still…while my heart can calm down between these walls
Something else in my mind just continues, to me, call
And i try to listen
It's just so distant
And don't know how to meet it halfway
For some reason, it also wants me to stay
Whatever or whoever it is
They have all the patience of the worlds entire existence
To let me be still and caught in the middle
They let me feel completely excused
From a place where i was probably abused
They led me to “here”, where I can be left alone
Yet i fear, i deeply miss them…right to the bone
Even though it's like a distant dream
For it i just want to scream
So i just lay here, close my eyes
And keep it in my dream…
That’ll have to do
Since you won't let me come to you
Giving me a long life
In exchange for what, i don't know
But thats whats protecting me
The mystery
In some way…this is all for me
Can we wander without moving?
I’ve found the way and guide you to take a look.
As we’re wandering from the land we known
Wandering, hoping to find our freedom
we don’t know where we’ll find a home of our own.
Perhaps we will be led to a kingdom
Where the king is wise
The queen is kind
But the jester lies
And the people are blind
So the kingdom falls to one inside.
And we try to find a land to call home
Maybe we will find a cave in which to abide
In which a bear has chosen to roam,
And she has cubs to mother
She has food to hunt
So the home we choose must be another
we may wander to the oceanfront.
Where a mermaid may be searching for a friend
But she wants us to come into the sea
But we can’t come to her home, it’d be the end
We must move on to let her be free.
As we wander from these lands
There are no allies in sight
There are warriors fighting other bands
But we must continue my flight.
On the journey we find
A sparkling winter wood
Where a wolf has sheltered from the wind
He shows us the den with his mate and brood.
Now an ally at our side
we wander through the wood to hunt
As we leave the wood the world opens wide
The world leaves our energy spent.
friends find love
The only ally we found journeys onward
With her gone we travel to the mountains above
The path we follow leads to a kingdom conquered.
we’ve wandered far from a land called home
The journey means many things
All these days we’ve continued to roam
Aching legs make us wish for wings.
following many roaring brooks
Seeing many kingdoms fall
We’ve wandered through hidden nooks
We journey alone for most days of our all.
Only a few allies survive
Wandering through life
Everyone hopes to arrive
To journey to a land without strife,
A land where all are free
An empire to call their own
A world to journey from sea to sea
A place where we don’t have to be grown.
we’ve wandered through valleys
we’ve wandered over the mountains
Learned to hide loss with being happy
Seen the journeys of thousands.
Every day we journey away from the land called home
And every day wander back again
We learn as we roam
But as we arrive home, we complain
Because we don’t want to close the book.
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
You drifted away like a feather
You can do so much better
You wear a humongous sweater on a hot day
You senselessly wear nothing on a cold day
You need to think things through right now
Do you love to be around me? Tell me somehow
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
You’re like a spring of sunshine,
Coming my way – it must be a sign
You’re kind enough to stay longer than expected
I’m thankful you understand that I was neglected
I’m oh so sorry for hurting your delicate feelings in the rather long-gone past
I broke your heart in the dark and you ran away from my grasp with empty goodbyes
You wince with pain in your eager-clustered eyes…not all joyous moments last
You deserted the dire dilemma of a thousand lies…I can hear your echoing cries
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
I should’ve known better than to let you down again and again
I apologize for behaving irrationally and obliviously all of the sudden
I could’ve lifted you so much higher than the highest mountain
I had allowed fear to cave in on my senses…alone in my shadowy den…
Why was I the one to blame for your issues?
Why was I the one to place my feet into your shoes?
Why did you aimlessly walk away from me?
Why did you abruptly abandon me spitefully?
Why did you walk away?
Why did you go astray?
How come you’re gone away so soon?
You flew away like a butterfly out of its cocoon…
How come you left me in the shadows of an uneventful afternoon?
You knew I would hurt without you, dear friend
There is a beloved beginning to your lonesome end
Why did you decide to simply disappear?
Why did you doubt with such pitiful fear?
Why did you go astray?
Why did you walk away?
Don’t walk away or I’ll be in hideous dismay
Don’t run away in the ray of our uniquely unifying day
Don’t gallop away graciously into the moonlit magnificence all the way
Don’t run away from your problems or they will worsen
Don’t walk away from your significant solace adrenalin
Why did you walk away?
I ask to myself with naïve curiosity
Why did you go astray?
Your clever ways are far from witty
Let's dance in the moonlight
Your eyes shine bright like starlight
Hopefully, you'll stay by my side for a little while
You're like a diamond in the cave in sexy style
Headlights
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
Streetlights
They shine bright
Like starlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Like moonlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Headlights
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
Give us some of our last chances
To impress you with our delightful dances
In a trillion trances...
In a trillion prances...
Dancing in circles forever it seems
One day, we will have perfect dreams
Dreams that will come true all the way
So we can dance and sing the night away
Merry voices sing aloud
In the happy-go-lucky crowd
Let me enchant you with our prances
And impress you greatly with our dances
Enhance us with several crazy cirumstances
Headlights
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
Streetlights
They shine bright
Like starlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Like moonlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Headlights
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
Let's watch time fly with wings so bright
Your ears will hear sounds from afar tonight
Maybe someday, you'll take your leave in peace abundantly
You're like a dandelion in the precious prairie, my fairly lovely fairy
Headlights
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
Streetlights
They shine bright
Like starlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Like moonlight...
Ooh...ooh...
Headlights
They sparkle bright
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
In the dead of night...
Oh! Oh!
Let's see the future unwind right now
Your sweet spirit soars serenely and takes its final bow
Remember to forgive the mistakes and misgivings of the past
MIsfortune and mayhem will be gone...YAS! At last
Headlights...
They glimmer anew
Out of the blue...
Ah! Ah!
Out of the blue...
Hmmm...oooooh...
If I had my way...that's how this started
how I wanted to compose my latest masterpiece
though in the position I'm in
my thoughts reign weary
as I struggle not to slumber while standing
so I take a seat to distract my bleeding mind
What luck has befallen me this week
safe to say it's all in the wind
Riddle me this: what else can I do to unwind
cancel out the growing cancer called stress
rid myself of the rage rumbling below the surface
purge the persistent pressure upon my shoulders and be myself
but as myself I've exhausted all my options
I'm exhausted but I can never sleep
it waits for the wrong time to strike
with the duration bouncing between hours 2 to 1
creating mire anger I have to unleash
through manner of shouting, mostly at myself
at everyone trying to tell me what I need
Funny thing about what I need
I and only I know what I need
I need everyone to leave me alone, leave me be
all except for five
take me out of the equation and five becomes four
How do I feel today, in love with Esmeralda
and in her regard to her, I still need to construct
construct her a ballad
decorated in purple roses and strawberry fields
a promise I've not completely kept
in contrast to the ballad I gave verbally the other day
How do I feel today
in like, in lust fueled by confusion
with red tinted pink lips belonging to Ally Grey
a confession awaiting expression
only forced by heat and sluggishness
still she's a beauty in tiger skin
never caged but never free
is she even into me
How do I feel today
vulnerable like the song I first shared
with the ears of Sarah sweet Sorceress
vulnerable for consistently letting her in
vulnerable for days I can't control
vulnerable for days I wish to explode
How do I feel today'
breakable so break me out
transform me, glass, into brick
so I don't cave in upon myself so easily
but if forsaken my request is stick dynamite within my skin
end it quickly, only promise to remember me
Remember me, a recent movie I've seen
but did you see this coming
Fin'
I'm your subconscious that speaking at you night when you try to sleep,
I represent the pain you try to hide when I show you the problem you face,
The voice in your ear when you're near the edge deep,
Trying to hide from me is impossible you must embrace,
All the guilt that holding you down Daniel,
You try believe you're fine as your walls cave in,
I represent everything you used to love that turn your hate Daniel,
Your heart is gone as this shadow fills the void in.
You look around trying figure out why,
As the pressure builds up wanna cry?
It's hopeless to turn your back now,
I give you opportunities to fix change now I'm in this place,
I'm the ringing in your ears that doesn't go away,
The headache you get when you feel happy,
You put this aside for long,
Among the problem you're blindly to,
I'll show every minute you talk to.
I'm becoming the hate you try to fade away your emotions are speaking loudly Daniel,
Are you here or are you there wanting to cry for you know I'm right,
Reasons why you been having sleepless nights.
I'm the karma you try to out run,
The one who fills your thoughts with your flaws, imperfections, things you been blind to.
I'm the reason why your fire you have burning is going out,
Count the times you try to save,
Now this last flame you have won't last if you don't man up,
Your last opportunity to seize Daniel.
Your shoulders are about to give in if you don't,
Your twenties are about to begin,
Believe me I'll make it hell for you,
It'll get worst if you back down,
Don't play the blaming game Daniel,
Your last shot.
I'm the reason why you haven't written in five weeks,
You're becoming weak your thoughts are screaming,
The voices become louder then they are,
I'm here screaming for you Daniel wake up!!!,
How many poems do I have to create to show an audience that yourself is falling apart they believe its a tale.
Not seeing it's real you know what's the deal Daniel time to seize this last shot.

Keep thinking, keep interested, keep praying, keep dreaming. Be mentally sensitive at all times so that the magic word that motivates you may one day speak to your deep inner self. Norman Vincent Peale
____________________________________________
Keep faith and brace to initiate your wave.
Stay resilient—reject to succumb or cave.
Dwell directly down the desire you have set.
Venture for your ambitions without regret.
Strive to weather any obstacle or spree.
Undying faith and clear aims are success key
Implies sacrifice, commitment, and skill too
These are critical to an edge or breakthrough.
Fulfill your goals, none is vain if you believe.
No drag can be dealt and no dole can deceive.
After exertion—there is no desultory vitality.
Never settle for a skewed version of reality.
I was supine simply—staring at the wall.
Blinding lights shatter the glass hall.
Growing an overwhelming feeling of fear.
I still close my eyes and dream of sheer
Strolling in a dense woodland as it gets dark
Bright stars and an orange moon draw a spark.
Anything in my close vicinity is lively and alive.
Soaked and at peace, with no drive to strive.
The faded history will be right in our grasp.
The faults and lofty goals no longer unclasp.
In the deepest, darkest world, there is no fear.
I am presently unfettered, resistant, and clear.
Living this way would have been flawless.
Relishing the splendor, peace, and aweless.
Realizing that our destiny is in His control.
Trusting His epic might bestow souls console.
Embrace the light of faith—let fears starve.
Dreaming, wishing, and aiming may carve
That's why I keep trying; it's due to one desire.
A dream of freedom and justice never conspires.
If you have faith, your dreams will come true.
And boldly uncover the potential inside you.
Thus, resist the urge to cave up and cave in.
Keep your faith and let your adventure spin.
Be brave.
My light in your darkness,
shivers before these winds.
Warm your hands and slow the death,
until these nights all flee.
Be brave and part your lips.
Drown my soul and wipe those tears.
Rise for me and not feel grief,
take these steps as life is brief.
Thieves will try and take your peace,
but I still stay and can not cease.
Lift that chin, do not cave in,
letting go is your life of sin.
Though I know these nights are grim,
as I’ve been noticing your grin,
turn into a dim light that flickers.
Smile one time so bright,
to love a heart that simmers,
from the fires that you lit.
I miss the bits,
we had, between us two.
Though what’s sad is you,
saw the first two breaths of forever,
which you threw.
You were calm, when I was through.
I do not know if you’re the victim,
or if you’re the cruel.
Either way I’ve been a fool,
I will not sink for whom let me pursue, my doom.
I will not live for cowards, who dare not speak their truth,
rather hide, stay silent then try to bend my views.
I suppose the only news that matter,
is if you’re brave enough to win a heart that’s shattered.
Broken glass cuts,
but the view outside this darkness is worth the hurt.
Be brave,
be brave and do not fall slave to these ill vines.
Even life falls to ash, before the fleeting time.
Do not try to find peace, where they’re all blind.
Do not think you’re alone, in your cold mind,
I am there with you and it’s all fine.
Darkness crawls faster, as moments fly by.
I can no longer suffer, or wish for peace to find,
me, unchanged and still as kind.
Take my hands before I fall and cross my finish line.
God is with the righteous, so we’re all right.
do not fear the judgement, of those who can die.
All sins forgiven before her eyes,
and she shared a little wisdom so I too can try.
These are my last words, my hail Mary.
Do not let in those who only have envy.
Our roads are scary and very long,
but they all lead to a place we both call home.
I too, dislike it: there are things that are important beyond all this fiddle.
Reading it, however, with a perfect contempt for it, one discovers that there is in
it after all, a place for the genuine.
-Marianne Moore
For nonese rhymes, care too little
and structured prose, care too much.
My friends, I have not yet seen
poetry of a true mind.
I must be cruel, to be kind
what you may repress,
I unveil.
what you may build,
I dismantle.
who am I to judge creativity?
the axiom of peripheral thought,
there is no poetry, just symbols
of the mind.
The imaginary is my playground
The subconscious is my work place,
language is your burden!
unrestricted, a bitter taste,
inklings of a garden gaze.
Write a line and destroy the page.
Write a stanza and destroy
your doubts.
We are all a young Picasso,
our world is essentially
a bottle out at sea.
Walk a mile, or maybe two,
until your feet blister
until your legs cave in,
experience is like a rag doll
throw things across,
a crowded room.
Make sure you attach
no notes that explain your words,
like a photograph needs nothing
except the souls they capture.
Fellow poets! show the world
your prowess in emotion,
your exclusive ability to
alter perspective,
imagination and stillness
of a fragmented life.
Shakespeare never once loved,
because he knew it all too well.
Poe never once wept,
because he knew it all too well.
Their hell, their beautiful ordered paradise,
would be our palette for design.
Imagine a world, do you see it?
exactly, it is not visible because
it is not poetry, it is unreliable.
our list? goes as follows...
Love.
Hate.
Interests.
Affliction.
Beauty.
Benevolence.
Sincerity.
Alienation.
Bliss.
Macabre and the Melancholy
reality of truth.
These are the keys
to open your poetic doors.
I will be waiting there for you.
