I may be a deity, but I do not truly know.
The people talk about me, but have never told me so.
They gather all around me like a holy worship ring...
Staring into my illuminating depths..
I am mesmerizing.
My powers are used to nourish
and also, to protect.
I may sustain a life,
or give a fearful, painful death.
I was created with a positive
and a negative side.
The power I can lend you,
may even let you fly!
Humans will offer the most sacrifice,
In the times of bitter cold and snow.
The trinity of Light, heat, and smoke,
Follow whereever I go.
I am a light in the dark.
I am ultimate power.
I am complete destruction...
In a negligent hour.
I am zeal and passion,
Desire, and hungry heat,
You pray I am controlled
Whenever we may meet.
I am comfort and warmth,
To those tired, stressed out souls,
I am always needed
When survival is the goal.
I soften and blur rough edges,
and I keep secrets safe.
Like a thief I'll steal your treasures...
...And like magic, I erase.

I- I learned so many lessons from your
N- negligent neglection of my rose petal heart
D- Do you ever think about anyone except yourself? I don't
E-even care to ask anymore because I'm learning to love me for everything that is beautiful with the brokenness and pain
P- Pouring peace into my garden with seeds of purpose planted right next to the
E-evergreen foreshadowing the ongoing journey of me. Oh hello,
N-nice to see you in the mirror finally, focus on being the best version of yourself and you will naturally attract what's good for you
D-Don't go searching out of desperation, this will only create a greater separation from your mind and soul
E-Easy hugs you when you kiss everything hard, face your fears and you'll start to see the real you. The
N-new you changing from old clothes,
T-the fit is killing them tonight
p.s. think I'll treat myself to a date night...

Ignorant, is not my identity in my struggle for my race.
Damaged, is not my identity by the disparaging arrows flung at me.
Effected, is not my identity to the wickedness of man.
Negligent, is not my identity as a moral human being.
Tattered, is not my identity.
Impatient, is not my identity to the slow walk in my ancestor's shoes.
Transparent, is not my identity.
Yes, it is not my identity to be caught up in the windmills of others' minds.
Ideology, my identity is invested.
Distinguished is my identity in my faith in the almighty God.
Emancipated is my identity from a life of mental oppression and inhibition.
Navigated am I with a strong will to be a part of a struggle for justice.
Tenacity is my identity.
Ignited is my identity blazed in the hope of a change.
Tagged is my identity by the history of my culture.
Youthful optimism is one of the many facets of my identity.

I have two choices-
Negligence and recklessness.
I am even more dangerous in my sleep.
When my powers cascade.
What kind of disasters happened?
When I was sleeping selfishly?
They don’t know how to tell me it’s my fault…
But I can read their thoughts.
Which are usually ramblings that I can ignore.
But sometimes they are all thinking the same thing.
And I become caught in a kaleidoscope of voices.
Negligent or reckless?
I don’t even remember the crime.
But I do feel better now that midnight has passed.
Because this time I am locked up-
So that the world can be safe from me.

Facing any criticism,
Like crude barbarism,
Had been true terror for me,
Stung my heart like jungly honey-bee...!
Little taunting enough,
To make my mind fluff;
Days and nights I brooded,
Over anything that deluded...!
Psyche filled with suspicion,
At two people's conversation;
They're talking ill of me, I thought,
When got chance, with them I fought...!
Doubts ate up peace like parasites,
Often led to silly fights;
Each one suffered damages,
Thought: have we turned savages...?
Void betwixt like valleys,
Widened each day like alleys;
Why betwixt humans such distance?
Why is such existence?
Tranquility got trailed,
Harmony re-railed;
Enlightenment,
Left negligent...!
During midnight prayers,
Alone at church-upstairs,
Heart filled with fears,
I implored the Lord in tears...!
Could a father see his son cry?
Doesn't he hasten to wipe his eye?
And so the lord responded
Took hold of me as though bonded...!
===
I bloom a smile on all today,
Forgetting events of yesterday;
No doubt; no venom; no burden;
Life has turned Garden of Eden...!

Diving into the wind
reaching for the sunlight,
aglow with the fire of a thousand wishes
granules pulse with prosperity;
Once in a lifetime every time,
negligent to think otherwise;
Fiercely fleeting so grab it
little dragonfly,
invite sparks into the smallest moment;
Electrify
supersonic energy

He was known to be a carefree dandy
Once he got boozed up with brandy
Driving his new car
He felt flying in the air
He wailed, “The brake doesn’t come handy”
Because of over speed, broke the car’s tier
Hit it on a tree with a thud severe
Some people came running
They saw him screaming
In pain, he was springing in the air!
He was lifted up in an ambulance,
With scars all over his countenance.
Some accompanied him
Inside it was quite grim
He was kept under careful observance
Slowly he showed signs of improvement
On limp legs, there were signs of movement
When steadied in health,
Was sad on ill gotten wealth.
On wheels, resolved not to be negligent.

Goin Narcissist on the Narcissist
Maybe I'm a Masochist
This is What you Wanted
You asked for this
Couldn't Resist
Left to Reminisce
Just End It
The Way I feel is Irrelevant
Negligent
Malevolent
Assist You in My Own Abuse
Let Me Help You Tie The Noose
Nothing Left To Lose
Too Late to Call a Truce
Chunk The Duce
I Swear on God
I Will Survive
I Will Be Fine
I Will Go On
In Spite Of You

she came in discreet way to me
and asked me
are you going with me?
negligent and rude
I told her
I can't, sorry,
but I have so many laundry and so many bills
to be paid without delay
but certainly
for sure
I'll release myself, only to have a little patience
she sat down on a chair and said
there is no problem
I'm waiting
solve quickly what you have to solve
because the interval in which the traffic is quieter
is small
then comes the madness
something you will not face, believe me
you didn't learn on time
to get rich
to scream
to shout
you didn't like when you were a kid, when you were a teenager
when you were in shape
to attend meetings, meetings, boring events
you won't even like it now. it's hard, you'll be spit
expelled
you will be too old for all this
you will also be an "old sucker"
which everyone will laugh at
I'd like to spare you all this, hurry up a little
I look at her face
and I don't believe what she says
poppies also grow on the heap
and what a bright color they have
hey, why do you mourn for me?

In every weary word, there is a selfish storm,
Within a blinding blurred of a formless form…
Thoughts are lost amidst the negligent nights,
Tongues are tossed upon blasphemous bites.
Cloudy confusion arises from its sacrificial still,
As the able abeyant advises the wandering will…
The silence surrenders to the drowning deluge,
For the rain remembers to release in its refuge.
Where the idealized illusions come out to play,
The stigmatic seclusions dormant in disarray…
Whirl winding whispers decay in the distance,
Amongst tangled twisters of raging resistance.

Spray your love in the masochistic mist,
shapely satisfying the illicit itch...
With handcuffs upon the wicked wrist,
narcotic nectars that will bewitch…
Salacious secretions that must assist,
appeasing appetites that shall enrich...
Salivating on parts hardly ever kissed,
exploring erotica within its niche…
Licentious desires amidst negligent night,
engulfing erections are craving...
Passionate pistils partake in their plight,
tender thoughts are misbehaving…
Bodies in motion divulge in delight,
as animalistic aphrodisiacs are raving...
Concupiscence convulsions do bite;
willing wanton wizards are waving…
Hold me tight as we twist and twitch,
upon luscious landscapes yearning...
Libidinousness lactations in their stitch,
beauteous breasts are burning…
Carnal covetousness stings their pitch,
for evocative emulations returning...
Leaving humble humanity in the ditch,
lacrimal lewdness upon learning.

If we only sleep in life.
we are just negligent and
lazy ...
If we are actually proactive,
we are totally instruments
of life...
If only we live crying,
we are only useless drops
in the rain ...
If we are truly smiling
and we cheer up, we are
vital strength at the universe ...
If we cultivate hatred,
we are the evil that delays progress ...
If we cultivate peace and harmony,
we are co-participants
from universal love ...!

Within my psychedelic psychosis divided by hell’s malignant mitosis,
Navigated by narcotized neurosis absorption through opiate osmosis…
Within my lunatic leverage of will, I needed to miraculously madly mill,
The negligent neurons of my ill amidst a faltering fragment of my spill.
My eyes that bear the bevel upon derelict distortions of a devious devil,
Laboring the leprous level of the seismic seizures that I neatly nestle…
In the abyss of my lacrimal laugh, I stand segmental with my satirical staff,
Decorative deceptions on my behalf as I stare at the world a genuine gaffe.
No real resolution to ponder for the quicksand of mind quivers yonder,
A sinkhole of a weeping wander amongst sacrifices of a slaving squander…
Thus in my sanctimonious seclusion within my catacombs of confusion,
The universe disperses diffusion along with programmatic parallel illusion.

For I awake within a dichotomous dream,
I ask what is real that the eye may gleam…
Realities regulate as the heads at the helm,
As dimensions deliberate a deceitful realm…
I walk through forests of faceless feeble time,
Nurturing nightmares of a calamitous climb…
Confronting creatures, succulents of the soul,
Upon Quantum quicksands of a nightly stroll…
I then Nova with the numinous sacred suns,
Ethereal explosions causing sacerdotal strums…
Decoratively dancing divine where Angel's trend,
Reaching the edge where some decline & descend…
All this within a differential devisable dream,
And idol illusions resonate and reign supreme…
For what is a dream without its raging reality?
Reality without dreams a sacrificial silent sea.
