Conversation

Conversation I had yesterday with Gatsheni
Made me question my existence and illuminated loopholes in my spiritual task

Some steps requires one to be bold and embrace fully what my purpose is upon this cosmos, fear and what people will be say stigma, will delay one's progress

It's about time I serve my purpose, pity many will fall off from my side... 

Echoing substations from my ancestors, reverberates, bold decisions are to be made, it's time I project without fear of favor, the message is deafening...

trusting the bearers and the process is inevitable, before the damage becomes amorphous for me to contain further... 

The sage and candles are burning too low for my aura, but I the voices echoes, it's now or never


Premium Member Unconscious Bias

I forgive the stars sleeping in nothingness,
             too afraid to embrace eclipsed spheres….. 

In the midst of sweltering gloaming,  
I ascend, obscured and tarnished,  
like a tainted trinket lost  
in the tangerine haze.  
For I’ve long been burning  
from the coals of stigma~
stamping labels upon troubled torrents,  
using malignant metals,  
mirroring the fear within lichen eyes,  
consumed by ancient  
arrows of anguish~
from the era of Hercules and Midas.  
But if only they knew, there is  
no remedy for the jaded jewels that  
refuse to sparkle, 
for my purity remains unseen in  
growing darkness,  
oblivious to the liquid gold  
that flickers compassion,  
as they see not 
beyond their fractured vision.

O distorted colors of the sun,  
I’m not your perplexed perspective;  
I breathe in hues of humanity,  
infused with luminous lavender.  
I’m not a Medusa siren luring you  
to serpentine rocks;  
I swim in chromatic, evanescent streams,  
brimming with blissful bioluminescence,  
illuminating my way under the midnight sky.

I’m not the suffocating wintry winds  
freezing oxygen in your lungs.  
While it seems your tongue is silenced 
and tied to the twisted strings  
of broken instruments, 
I ink words of hope and
empathy upon your cynical skin.

I am more than the blind rage  
seeping in fury.  
I’m not a heartless harpy  
screeching into the emptiness~
drenched in despair,  
pushing boundaries to  
the ends of the earth.  
I am Atlas holding the world on  
his shoulders,  
I am the glistening stars aching  
to touch the silver ring around  
the jasmine moon.

But life is like a helix fixated  
on unconscious bias,  
constantly critical of diverse dialects,  
watching me struggle to stand  
under the weight of pressure,  
knees buckling as your assumptions  
lacerate me, breaking me down,  
burying me in your ruthless riddles.

I feel rumbling dirt beneath  
my bleeding feet.  
My sarcophagus is rising,  
built from your putrid ideals of me.  
Losing footing, I refuse to fall into  
the seething seas of sorrow.

So remember, I was never  
the soulless monster hiding  
beneath your ignorant bed.  
But I am now the skeletons  
etched within the cataclysmic  
aftermath of your 
shallow misconceptions.

Premium Member Conscious Magical Dreaming To Eternity

Sweet dreams are fantastic and enchanting,
The golden wings of brightness are quite chanting,
The natural beauty of songbirds is like fairy dust,
In this dream, I broke down with joy and bust.

Oh, dream! The ominous curved shape was not scary,
Chimera! The vampire seemed merry,
Then the classic scary stigma of horror vampire,
Fear of satanic blasphemy grew as a damper.

Oh! I closed my eyes in horror at that terrible sight!
His hypnotic eyes stopped the trembling, awe-inspiring flight!
The Vampiric myth unsolved puzzle may be resolved tonight,
My heart raced as the ego chiseled my family's artistic heights.

There is tranquility and calmness in my head, 
Trying to remember how beatific this time is ahead, 
I am grateful to God for my golden vision, 
which appears to be a wonderful envision.

A mysterious traveler from our odd planet, 
At home, into the magical realm of sleep gamut,
In a dream, I filled out a waiver and escaped Vietnam,
And I joined the National Guard, my favorite aplomb.

My favorite subject at school was English Literature,
Dad said math and science were vital, not litterateur,
I focused on calculus and left grammar to my proclivity,
I learned to design technical visuals, not creatively.

We were labeled "baby boomers," but we were war babies,
It ensures the happiness of possible rivals abides,
Living in America exposed me to a touch of pioneer history, 
Technology and industry drive us forward through mystery.

The dream ceased without falling for the intelligentsia,
She freed me from lethargy by having me fight inertia,
Without her, I could have abused booze and heroin, 
It's simpler to surrender to laziness than to be a heroine.

I rode the conveyor to the consulting to provide luxury,
I wrote finance and tech books to show I hump Riff Poetry,
Now I am in search of mystical sights and cosmic vibes,
When the writing is over, I shall resume painting the jibes.

The most exciting dreams are abruptly interrupted,
When the sun's rays approached, rouse erupted,
Appealing experiences, from a need for sleep, 
More people assumed occult esoteric creep.

Happiness In Joy of Memory

It's good to celebrate 
           Or may be not
               Our tale's effect brought
                    How on campus, we acclimate

I remember her, the smile and rapport
     In memory of what activity do and did
        How grades' influence was so candid
               In memory shall live evermore

Heartbroken is of no factual cure
      But fighting back is a grace, for sure 
          That failure is not a one-way track
                 Tightening focus' stigma a hunchback

Never again, after SPED I did swear
     Will other worlds be proved unfair
             Up the same part in pursuit wandered
                  Focus and fighting back, longer pondered

Though distraction may lament the two
        Maturity and experience will come so true 
           Little will it ever come to really last
               In time, the dance, the stumble of mindache past

The treasured past time was unkind 
    It left wall, well, and wish deep behind
        Moving on fuels the weather's heart desires 
             To cope with each passing changes' fires 

Your signature has been smartly found 
    Amidst the quests of the severe ground
         Older but you are wiser by the day 
              Rough-smooth tides, yet you turn each your way 

Happy birthday to the troubled peace
    The ease of craving unrelentingly,  masterpiece
       Growing from the day's raining cloud
          And the dim lightening tearing the thunder so loud 

In the life and dream you sought 
     Live gracefully the way mercy ought 
        Time wanders interestingly with no grin 
             Your dream(s) fade sure not in aged skin 

To you whose care is no ghost 
       Thy warm spirit, I forever toast
             Grow old with love and sweet fun
                Counting blessings through graceful luck you won
             
KEEP LIVING...

Premium Member Enlightened By Anima

I bridged the chasm and entered ambiguous halls
Climbed over barbed fences inside my mind's walls
To glimpse the core of how men and women relate
Among flowering vines behind the garden gate.

Within a flower is both gamete and stigma
As semen to ovary   -   what an enigma!
Nestled deep in my breast, I hear a sultry voice,
"Which would I be if I'd been given the choice?"

I am content with my life in a single ilk
I give in to the urge to wear lace and silk 
A little more mascara and blush on my face
I desire to be a lady with charm and grace

I wear jeans and boots, shorten the length of my hair
But some days high heels are what I choose to wear
Two halves of one heart, beating in rhythmic sync
Twins in one body but both sharing the same link

One set of footprints I leave on a virgin shore
I know who I am, but sometimes yearn for more
I'm searching for what lies behind the waterfall
The answer discovered when I hear my siren call

One foot in each of two very different worlds
Climbing trees like boys with painted nails of a girl
When asked my favorite color, I always say it's blue
But I'm also partial to pinks in pastel shades and hue.

I search my thoughts to see if gendering is mental
Knowing I'm more the damsel, not frail but gentle
When my psyche roars like a lion, I can repress
the savage beast in me when I wear a pretty dress

In kindred thoughts my anima/animas keep in touch
I respect my masculine inflection, but not too much
I don't saunter like a guy. I'm not one of them
My hips sway like a girl, so cherchez la femme.*

*Cherchez la femme is a French phrase which literally means "look for the woman."

Prisoner

Initiation led in an immoral way
                      in this era of Kali
carried in pain all around
             in ruse and chicane.
Here plunder is organized freely
           it has became a slaughterhouse
poison is flowing everywhere and
                   all are engaged in ruse. 
All are violent in heart and mind
               inhumanity takes place in run
in each corner of the world and
             all they are playing with gun.
The river has become gloomy with blood
           people are dying in violent hands
all are in grief and sorrow and
                  there is happy no one.
All the countries are engage in war
               peoples are in trap of religion
there is nothing but cruelty and 
           the stigma covered the full moon. 
Lust and delusion overwhelmed and
                 pollution are taking place in each mind
they has no compassion nor they are human
           wherever I look, the monster is ruling on.
In form of incarnation of Vishnu
                  youth, come in force, come on
why are you so poor in soul today
              why dwelling like prisoner at home?

Premium Member A Net of Tears

While chasing after my beguiling muse
I fell into the bottomless abyss
Free falling into darkness does confuse
Despair replaces fragile happiness

This chill of loneliness I've felt before
No longer does the darkness summon fear
Cause hope is like a beacon on the shore
And love of friends provides a net of tears

But getting out is not an easy task
It all depends on just how far I fall
And when I reach the top I'll don my mask
To hide the shame and stigma of it all

Then once again I'll strive to reach my goal
To find a cover for this damn manhole

When It Rains It Pours

In the silence of your mind, 
thoughts overflow like your cup is running over
But you stay strong and confident like a soldier.
In the face of treat, you hold your composure.
Cold shoulder, pain that's in the eyes of the beholder.
Blockage to your heart, being protected by a boulder. 
 
A mockingbird that's never been killed 
It pours on this end, like when hearing the funeral bells 
Like May, June rain every day it fall.
A philosopher in the making, 
Something like Plato in his prime.
Or Shakespeare one of a kind.

You stay on your grind for the blessings to grow over time 
Stay through to your nature 
Like being in your natural habitat.

Mother's words hit harder now that you're older 
Like yesterday to today now having to look over your shoulder. 

They mistake kindness for weakness 
Timid for scared 
Helping out for being ordered around 
That's the type of stigma when you're young. 

When it rains, it pours over here 
Blessings in abundance 
Bless beyond years of hardship 
Like the titanic but this ship won't sink.

Thinking about it and complaining about it at the same time 
I'm one in the making like Walther Rodney 
These steady strong bones was meant to brake wave 
Like Mark Anthony I'm the definition of brave.

Eternally Guarded

I did not
have friends
when I was
little
because
other Latines
in Chicago
didn't want
to befriend
the local
autistic
weird girl
or deal
with the
stigma
of being
associated
with the
adopted.

Just like
Setsuna Meioh
I guarded
a time door
to ancient
memories
for what
felt like
an eternity
and that
isolation
is basically
why I tend
to still choose
to be alone
even though
I know that
I do have
friends now.

Note: Setsuna Meioh does not belong to me. But she is one of Naoko Takeuchi's fictional characters whose essence resonates with me the most out of all the Sailor Senshi.

Entity

lying in the abyss that desire keeps revolving
in the hot shiver of cold feeling
that are always spinning.
In the story of the forbidden place at night
enchanted youths are immersed in illusory dreams
and silently they are decaying.
In the sullen light of the moon
the bright flame of perverted dreams
being suppressed into the dark forest that in.
Sometimes it cries by the joint effort of hip
end of that riddle the interim birth
is getting mingled into the stigma to dominant.
The roar of the sea erupts back and forth
failed and fall in the heart of the sand of the beach
entity is getting disappears 
in pain.
