Failure Speaks
Failure Speaks Hey, you! I'm Failure, The shadow that looms near, The ogre that haunts your dreams, The weight that clips your wings. But know me as the miles you must roam, The obstacles you must overcome, The falls that test your will, For the eagle in you to soar still. ...

Endurance
Ahead a trail that stretches with his finish line unseen, at the start he ponders what this one will mean, this obstacle will be like no other he thought, an obstacle different than everything he's fought, cool crisp morning air fills his lung, pistol raises, the starting chime has rung, months of discipline has lead him here, even the thought of loss...

Living For a Crown
A face with the bitterest frown, For long years expecting a crown; Now in prickly sweat bathed And A Tongue is scathed … It’s really an awful spectacle, Facing no challenge, no obstacle, As reported by his mirror Doing so without error; Ability he’s got and Agility And all his life no infirmity. So, why is he, Chief Favor Facing Monarchical Disfavor; For long years living for...

Spreading Tentacles In the Face of Obstacles
He is out to spread his tentacles In the face, of combative obstacles, And dying to end through a tackle Any unacceptable spectacle Between The Rickety and The Ramshackle: Busy roads he’d started their channels, Hateful robbers sealing off their tunnels, Corrupt judges replacing with panels, Supported subsidy showing with funnels, Filling stations without towels obliging flannels Bottled water for user of runnels His love...

An Obstacle To Large To Mention
Here I am again buried under by this grain of sand At the beach oceans mock me. Waves laugh real tears Pretty bikini girls wearing two strings saunter by All smiles as they admire my bulky hunk muscles As I hide my grief from them and open seas The speck of sand won’t move an inch from...

Obstacle Course
M-ist, fog, and haze A-re nowhere in sight; R-ise of the morning sun I-s setting things aright. C-oal clouds twelfth February A-re all becoming white; R-ed beacon sweet Sunday is truly burning bright.

The Obstacle
I was brought her under the false impression that this was one big adventure I listened to my intuition (hopelessly wrong) I was confident and excited and young but time can change people Now I feel older than the trees in Century Park trapped in a concrete jungle despairing, hopeless, but alive; my confidence withered like the cacti on my balcony hot,...
