God* --- omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent
verily reached down to me
offering His friendship and fellowship.
With trust in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ...
...I am endowed by faith that pleases HIM, all by His grace
Now, my vibrant relationship with HIM keeps on getting sweeter daily
making me affirm His attributes:
His love, indeed redemptive
His mercy, always restorative
His grace, truly rehabilitative
His power, surely constructive
His kindness, greatly palliative
His peace, divinely sedative
His precepts, wisely informative
His goodness, supremely creative
His statutes, clearly declarative
His admonitions, graciously punitive
His testimonies, joyously affirmative
His doctrines, steadfastly effective
His reproofs, compassionately positive
His commandments, authoritatively imperative.
*Revelation 19:6 ... Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

I’ve been working since I was twelve years old,
But my first on-the-books job
Was as a sailor in the US Navy,
Gunners Mate.
Six years and three Westpac deployments.
Fifty months of sea duty
Changed me for good and bad.
Over the years since,
I’ve had many terms of employment,
Both full and part-time.
My part-time jobs have included
Hanging wallpaper and painting houses.
Building stockade style fences.
Landscaping and more landscaping.
Cleaning commercial kitchen exhaust hoods.
I’ve been a receptionist at yoga studios,
A registered yoga instructor,
A certified personal trainer,
A high school cross country,
Wrestling, and track & field coach.
I’ve been a substitute teacher
At every grade level, K-12.
I’ve also been a supervisor of
Student teachers earning their
Master’s degrees in education.
Most recently, I work as a museum docent.
My full-time jobs have included
Bartender in a low-life country dive.
(Yes, I drank on the job.)
Laborer in a garment factory,
(Yes, I drank on the job.)
A refrigerated trailer factory,
(Yes, I drank on the job.)
And a lamp factory.
(It was too hot to drink anything but water on the job.)
I’ve engraved gift items in a mall kiosk.
Yes, I drank on the job.
I’ve worked at a day camp for disabled adults
And was a resident advisor in a facility
For profoundly disabled adults.
I’ve been a public-school custodian,
And a teacher of high school history and sociology,
My longest tenure at any job, by far.
My final full-time job
Was as a maintenance superintendent
In a seventy-building garden apartment complex.
I’ve also been a writer of fiction
Who draws from experience
Attempting to fashion a plausible tale.
Secured by the Saviour’s seal, I'm satisfied*
Settled upon Scriptures’ salvation-security...
Separated against satanic strongholds
Standing despite stormy sorrows and sufferings...
Supplied with grace-sufficiency
Succeeding as a faithful steward though struggling from sins...
Surely soulwinning, serving, supplicating
Savouring God’s love, showing His compassion sincerely...
Sharing His goodness of kindness-touch with steadfastness
Supernaturally sowing righteousness’ seeds.
Proverbs 19:23 The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.

My own gypsy roaming in countless hemispheres
A painter who splashes emotions of life’s tones
Maybe a lightkeeper flaming a child’s wonder
Also, a bookworm awed by enigmatic anti-heroes
My siblings’ event planner for grand occasions
Yes, a film buff loading adrenalin at plot’s turn
This off-key singer come open mic time
An insolent activist when values are compromised
My kin’s nervous wreck... afraid of heights
A non-stop dancer jigging even on tabletops!
Indeed, an angel card reader faking psychic powers
A believer of joy based on destiny number 7
The female version of Pan trapped in child-like whims
An incurable romantic who dreads goodbyes
This poet draining the marrow of a parched pen
A meditation/ yoga soul grounded in nothingness
Thus, one pilgrim in search of my higher self’s grail
~ In my roller-coaster, charmed world, I am still
finding parts of myself that thirst to be known.

I hear voices telling me to stop
I hear voices telling me to go;
I hear your voice laughing at me,
I hear my voice strangled choking;
I hear voices telling me ‘You’re ugly.’
Those same voices will say ‘You’re pretty.’
I hear voices telling me ‘You aren’t loved .’
I hear voices say ‘and you never were.’
I hear your voice saying nothing,
I hear my voice echoing my insanity;
I hear voices telling me ‘You’re ugly.’
Those same voices will say ‘You’re pretty.‘
I hear voices cursing my vulnerability;
I hear you taking advantage of kindness,
among other things;
I hear my voice growing not speaking.
I hear voices that say you’re ugly, crazy.
I hear voices that lie and tell the truth.
First day of the week is about believing --
what you see is what you get after striving
First day in school is about excitement
a combination of fear and amusement
First day of pay at work is about engagement --
engaging in gimmicks, parties and payment
First day is what everybody is waiting for
a sunny day, rainy day or snowy day
First day is about dreaming
dreaming of something without spending
First day of training is winning
winning without jerking
First day is New Year's Day
this is why not all countries have the same calendar for Christmas Day
First day in the gym is showmanship --
cuteness with sportsmanship
First day can also be the last day
just started and not finishing, with or without pay
... is about counting what you want to have
same first day when you fell asleep working too hard to keep a job
... is about resurrection
after reminiscing your old creation
... is about parenting
single or married, you are unrelenting
... is about renewal
a dowry, backpay or withdrawal
...is about rewards
after long months or years of not moving backwards
... is about a period
only for females, stars of myriad
... is about forgiving
giving without parental conditioning
... is about driving
seated and tranquil while smiling
... is a debut
what is what, who is who
... is like a prom
you get hugged or dragged in a ring apron...
What is your "First Day" about?

10 POEMS THAT DEFINE ME (that's your title) Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Line Gauthier
**A DEDICATION TO
MY FUTURE, TRUE LOVE.**
A moment of bliss
For you and i,
A moment so real
I feel it will never end.
The sound of our kisses
The promises
Of our future,
The absence of heart
Break torture,
The words of our eye
balls
The verdicts of our
hearts...
Builds our walls of bliss.
A moment of bliss
For you and i,
A moment of laughter,
Laughter to last longer,
Prolonging our affair that
Is sealed above.
A moment of bliss.
For you and i,
When you read those
verses,
Slowly and mildly,
Piecing through my soul,
Like mothers words...
A moment of bliss,
For you and i,
A moment so sweet like
cherries
And candies.
A moment so smooth
like
The surface of your lips...
Leaving me in a trance,
When i recover,
We will continue from
where
We stopped...
Savoring the bliss for
you and i...
"WHEN
SHE COMES IN, IT WILL BE
ALL BLISS"
