Resilient Resistance Unconquerable
Every mundane moment hides a trap door,
A song on the radio, a slammed screen door,
The scent of jasmine floating on summer air—
Each one a key unlocking memories I cannot bear.
Coffee spills across the counter's white,
And suddenly I'm back in that kitchen, that night,
When everything familiar turned strange and wild,
And safety shattered like a cup defiled.
The

Unconquerable
Keep the faith inside you burning
in the face of vanquished hopes
Love will never be the conquered one
Strength will give it will to cope
“Share the hopes within you still
and hold the dreams that in you reside.
Invite a kiss from parted lips
and trace the path where hearts abide.”
Don’t give up your fond desires
and never yield to blind

Unconquerable Hope
The will to keep expecting the far
And celebrate it sometime in a bar
Honey-sweet news defying today’s anguish
And yesterday’s unanswered wish:
Igneous-hard belief that the overcast cloud
Won’t for too long remain proud…
Soon to its cruel tenure serve out
Unconditionally bowing out…
It is unconquerable hope
To in travails steer clear of dope.

Unconquerable
midst the bosom of a once bountiful farm
lies the graveyard of my ancestors~
the gush of tears that flowed here- only the wind knows;
the willows by the brooks~ are barely there,
and those who survived have so many stories to tell.
still flowing- the Vito river
despite so many summer drought
still limpid on its march to the sea
whilst faded

Unconquerable King John
a fire breaks out in his pants
whenever she walks into the room
but she just laughs
at how quaint he is
she has eyes only for the old man at
the end of the bar
his beat era leather socks are just up her alley
his pocket protector lifestyle is just
the thing for her wedding plans
she could always see herself
with his

Unconquerable, William Ernest Henley
Dust never settles on my back
Nor does rain on my nose
As the demands of the day persevere
The quietness of the night strengthens my soul
Pain is a stimulus of sorts
A constant reminder of my work still to be done
Time has indeed served as a mirror of my mistakes
Yet I persevere until the battle is won
Visions of
