Lord,
help me shed this ego-atrophy.
Like a second skin I'm desperate to peel away.
Undoubtedly knowing this is the final fray.
Don't leave me, I beg you. Lord
Please don't give up on me yet.
I've made repetitive decisions,
stumbling once more in this drug addicted trap.
I see the line you drew in the sand.
While the wall of the world is built sky high.
I'm teetering on the edge.
I pray you don't send me Lord, right over the ledge.
So many unfinished poems, linger behind my lips.
You saved me in my darkest nights, trapped in the abyss.
You found me when I lost myself,
right in the nick of time.
Humbly asking you My Savior
just one more day.
There are so many thoughts within one mind;
some are lost, while others are forgotten.
These thoughts begin bleeding out as I write.
I shed tears while missing the sun, all while gazing at the stars burning bright.
Unlocked cage in addiction, but my flesh isn't accepting the loss of the fight.
Take me back to ground zero, beginning with the circle of life.
I reminisce about the garden where my heart still resides.
Replaying every song forever in my mind.
Wishing for God's well of living water, to quench my thirsty soul.
As reconstruction continues, the conversation persists.
Vivid memories dating back to when I was a kid.
Water flows downstream, the river running as much as I am.
Sent a key and a mirror, illuminating what my eyes cannot hide.
Breakthrough roadway ahead
faithful is God,
all while slipping in sin.
New journey is His Rock
Rock His is journey new
sin is slipping while all
God is faithful.
Ahead roadway breakthrough
They all speak in tongues
A powerful influence
No king resides here
"Nothing is impossible, the word itself says, "I'm possible!" ~ Audrey Hepburn
Two powerful words both very shockable.
"You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore." ~ Christopher Columbus
Christopher Columbus opened wide the door,
to see and hear the ocean roar.
"Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it." ~ Charles Swindoll
In life I will not quit,
for God gave me the wit.
"If the wind will not serve, take the oars" ~ Latin Proverb
Will the wind open the doors?
Maybe showing sea dinosaurs.
"Fall seven times and stand up eight" ~ old proverb
What will be my fate?
Getting back up will make me great.
Each one here has a different meaning,
some from life and some from dreaming.
The most powerful
thing in the World
is the Mind
Much more so
than the sword
It can accomplish
wonderful things,
benefit human kind,
create solutions
for the World's problems
It has an imagination
which fosters creative endeavors
Distinguishes us from
all animals
on the planet
It should be used
for positive purposes
to advance the
cause for all humans
It creates cures
for many diseases
and helps us
to live a
long prosperous life
"What I have Learned about Broken Promises is Priceless." By Poet
As a young child,
friends would make a promise.
They would break their word,
followed by hurt.
The dating world was famous for this trick,
as boys loved to break their promise.
Did it make them feel powerful?
Maybe!
My dad was a very wise person,
he never made many promises.
Guess he knew the pain hiding behind words,
words that were unkept are friends with lies.
He would say,
we will see or maybe.
I knew if he had made me a promise,
it was guaranteed to be done.
So glad this lesson was learned as a child,
thanks dad.

When the aching intensity of indecision
Nails your feet grasping to the buckling floor
And your outstretched arms are too weak to fight,
Summon courage from the flailing, swirling air.
Gather yourself and lean into Light.
When fear has curdled what’s left of your brain
And no passage of time will ease the pain
And you’re sitting in darkness with no means to fight,
Summon inner wisdom from your beating heart.
Gather yourself and lean into Light.
When the circle is shrinking; no friends left in sight
And you sit alone on the sharp edge not knowing what’s right
And you rail at the darkness, both fists in the air
Summon your anger at what brought you there.
Gather your courage, return to the fight.
Reach for Power and lean into the Light.
It’s all an illusion, a mere trick of self-deception.
Stop telling yourself you are powerless and small.
In every atom of your body, every song of your Soul
Power rises and falls as you summon and call.
You have all you need. You are streamlined for flight.
Reach for Power and lean into Light
Crown of Shadows
I never longed for shadow’s crown,
But you kept trying to strike me down.
You played me false, you played me sly,
Now watch me strike and hear you cry.
You lit the spark, I fed the flame,
You wrote the rules, I’ll change the game.
You drew the blade, I wore the scar,
Now watch me rise for who you are.
I am the queen of night’s domain,
Born from betrayal, forged in pain.
The chains are gone, the mask is mine,
I walk the dark, my grand design.
You wanted war, I’ll give you more,
A thousand storms outside your door.
You called me villain, wrote that part,
But I’m the queen with a burning heart.
So, hear my vow, it’s carved in stone,
I’ll claim the throne you thought your own.
The crown is twisted, sharp, and true,
The villain lives, because of you.
— Fizza Bukhari
heard some one saying
humans are powerful
indeed they are powerful, capturing mountain lands,sky,even animals bigger then them
but are they powerful enough to hold onto the one they love?
are they powerful enough to hold there heart when someone they love breaks it into pieces
are they really powerful enough to get the one they loved ?
and the question still remains
are humans really powerful enough?
the one that stands so powerful how come become powerless in love ?
Fool a very powerful word,
with four unassuming letters.
Young and dumb in school,
we said we would be best friends forever.
Then came your wedding,
I took you to find your pretty dress.
Your mom and sister were no where in sight.
As your maid of honor,
I stand tall and proud watching over you both.
Your sister came as a guest,
her husband never bothered to show up.
You asked me to keep your lies,
and I did.
My mouth was glued shut,
not a word to be spoken.
Your letter came,
as I read my heart broke into a million pieces,
my fingers were burned from the paper and words.
How could you say these things to me?
Over the many long years,
had I been a fool dressed as a friend to you?
Starfall where visions bloom into bliss.
I lift my gaze into the stratosphere,
Seeking knowledge to bless
The mind, the spirit, the soul.
By the light of day,
Through the darkness of night,
I strive to see more clearly,
Asleep within my dreams,
Yet awake with the passing hours,
Clutching the words
That rise straight from the heart.
I feel powerful when birds fly away,
I approach– they erupt!
My agency clear on display,
To my illusive control,
I’m amused they obey,
It’s time’s dualistic dance,
of predator and prey,
Self awakens through others,
All becomes One, as we play,
I’m imprinting the present,
When I walk out of my way,
A flock by emergence,
Patterns form, never to stay,
Co-creating a moment,
Spikes spice into my day,
I feel so powerful,
When birds fly away.
