In realms of cyberspace, I fly
searching out treasures in disguise
skirting advertised merchandise
the ordinary, the overemphasized
to anatomize the marginalized
values overlooked otherwise
on the dusty, neglected, virtual aisles
of small sites not over-commercialized
or google ranked and over-publicized
some unexpected payoffs materialize
glittering swag, patiences prize
“Oh, my God - Look!” I vocalize
My girlfriends can’t believe their eyes
“You can find anything,” they surmise.

The fine, blue dress with white spots
overemphasized the shape of your body
and beauty,
but your beautiful green eyes
just like the dark grey clouds
in the sky, were about to cry,
Oh, My Beautiful One,
Tell me
who made you feel and look so unhappy,
Was it anybody else or me?

The clouds stretched through the sky revealing white patches.
It feels ominous as darkness consumes the land,
drifting across the stars.
The stars and little galaxies gallivant
and climb towards their zenith,
devoured by such beauty and
failing to see what else looms above me,
my corner eyes caught hold of them just too late
as the horse and its rider knocked me down with its iron-hoofs. Then I noticed it was suddenly too bright,
the sun had stolen its way in.
There! It stood in its vastness;
I'm left to imagine what lies beyond this bright cloud
as the luminescent sky played hide and seek with darkness.
I slowly drifted far away to a land blissful.
Certain bad things happen to get us off our comfort zone to bigger things; choices we wouldn't have made if situations never forced the hand of fate upon us. Some pain lead to bigger gains, some hurt lead to bigger heart. The importance of learning to transcend beyond these barriers cannot therefore be overemphasized. Look on the brighter side mate, for iron sharpens iron.
