The vet had been sympathetic in his demeanour
as I gently placed my beloved Shih Zhu
on the sterile stainless-steel table amongst the fumes of disinfectant.
My emotional support pet was shivering uncontrollably with fear.
It took him two days to pass away peacefully.
He was two days in passing—reluctant to give up the good fight—
brave as always when I had supported him during past emergencies.
Life is not lived in a sterile environment—perfumed with expectations—
at times my Shih Zhu had tested my love for him with his antics.
The vet had been clinically detached in his assessment as I hid my fears.

Finally, the options are revealed
The appeal is second to none
Tantalized by various speech patterns
Shocking, awful, and mistaken
Chills travel down the spine
Afraid of what's to come
At the behest of one's empathy
Words cut through obvious defenses
Crying to no one's delight
The weakness can no longer be withheld
Shaking uncontrollably, violating the hollow ground
Confidence is shattered into a million shards of dissonance
Never to be heard from again

How do I know what true love is?
Is it the effervescent warm glow?
Is it the loyalty and respect of masters pup?
Is it the fire of passion that waves uncontrollably?
Is my love truly in love with me?
How do two people to love each other equally?
Do they take turns like musical chairs?
Do they have to complete each others thoughts?
Do I need to always communicate the good and bad?
Do I need the love my woman as much as she loves me?
How does true love evolve over time?
Can it remain a flame despite being on cruise control?
Can it get stronger through pain?
Can I lose it and regain it like losing my phone?
Can I trust the one I have store my love to keep?

We can't tell whom we love
Even if someone who chase you
Seems perfect for your choosing
The heart can never be dictated
It's unpredictable when love hit you
It can never tell when and where
The heart fall for someone else
One thing for sure it can never tell
It can strike to fall without warning
The moment someone barge into
Your mind during your time of sleep
That's one clue your heart sense
Start beating uncontrollably mean
Often if you're busy you think of her
In you're free time you think of her
You're cautious when seeing her
Everything around seems topsy-turvy
In her presence or even thinking her
In all of these the heart is happy
This is what I mean to fall in love.

Shut everything off, sit still in your room.
Make an attempt to do this each day.
I like to picture His name in my mind.
Sometimes the name "God" I will say!
If my mind is starting to drift.
I speak words of love to Him to bring it back.
He helps those with seeking souls to get back on track.
Soon the wave comes washing over me.
Which causes me to uncontrollably cry.
It just might be, so holy is He!,
And union of Creator and creature is why.
I'm so consumed in the atmosphere of the room,
I'm no longer aware that I'm there.
Now in my mind, there's no awareness of time,
It's so beautiful, about nothing do I care.
I bask in His delight, everything feels right,
I'm in the presence of God Most High!
AMAZING! you'll feel. His presence is REAL!
Once you experience Him, you can never deny.
You'll wish you could stay, connected this way.
Nothing else can ever compare to this.
It's so beautifully insane, words cannot explain.
What it feels like to get the Creator's kiss.
When I disconnect, I always regret,
Once again I'm aware of my room.
I go about my way, smiling all day,
Because I'll be reconnecting again soon!

Life doesn’t feel the same, My Darling,
Deprived of your passionate love,
Each and every day aimlessly drags on,
Each and every day feels dreary and treacherous!
Days were joyfully enchanting, nights were supremely blissful,
Never realized parting was so acutely hard!
But came a time there was turbulence in
The relationship, a dark cloud covered our horizon!
My heart sank, tears uncontrollably filled my eyes,
But decision, right for both of us, needed to be taken,
although my heart shattered like a broken-winged bird's,
I stood still - not letting grief drown me miserably!
Deprived of your love - is that fully true!
Pure Love is a gift we rarely receive in a lifetime,
We still love each other…I believe, Love does not end,
Cruel fate decides the eventual direction of our path!

I wake up in a room full of mirrors,
a funhouse of distortion
where reality is blurred.
I gasp, for in one of the mirrors,
I see a young version of me—
rocking and singing a lullaby
to my newborn baby girl,
with a full head of dark hair.
By my side, a little boy with blue eyes and blond hair—
a million-dollar family.
Sighing contently, I hold them close to me.
A muffled sound—sobbing—is heard in the distance,
the sound alarmingly familiar.
The mother sobs uncontrollably,
her graying hair and lines on her face
reveal a much older version of myself,
clutching to her heart
a picture of a beautiful, brown-eyed girl with dimples.
In the mirror, she reads: RIP.
The mirror doesn’t lie.

Some days I sing into the void
Vibrating with serotonin and enthusiasm
Unable to imagine a reality without a never ending stream of intense euphoria
Other days I am the void
Radiating melancholy and agony uncontrollably
My own intrusive thoughts slice through me like daggers
You called me sunshine
Yet I was shivering in the tundra of my mind
I'm reminded one does not have to feel warm to illuminate others

flirting with my friend
so lovely and radiant in the sun is she
her smile inspires my smile
Mom's Watchful Eye from Heaven keeps me respectful
my strong belief in being faithful keeps me smart and grounded
as we say our goodbyes, we say Sincerity Prayers for each other
she gives me a meaningful slap on my left arm, which makes Mom smile in Heaven
a female dove with a watchful eye lands on my left shoulder out of nowhere and pecks me repeatedly on my forehead
my friend, who i playfully flirted with, begins laughing uncontrollably
she then says, 'uh huh, that's what your flirting behind gets'
i reply by saying 'WHAT ABOUT YOU?!?'
you answer by saying 'you have a Precious Blessing Beyond Worthy of Counting'
i wave a final goodbye with a rare smile and simply say 'Yes Mom'

What is my ability,
The Gift you've given me?
Apparently it wasn't money.
No matter what I tried to be,
There was never enough to see,
Pass the pile of bills in front of me.
Constantly a place to be,
Never enough time for me,
Draining all my energy.
In a pit of misery,
A person I was trained to be,
Now again my pockets empty.
Nothing in front of me,
Trying to use my ability,
Without being able to see,
Frustration and anger envelope me.
Emotions run uncontrollably,
Into this wall,
I hope I built it properly.
Catching the negativity,
Transmuting energy,
I'm not afraid to be me.
My own university,
The school of adversity,
Diversity,
Where you are me,
A living Library of Love.
Words from Heaven above,
Directly from the ONE,
Who created this son.

Pain
With my head hung low
ive nowhere to go
No words can explain
this mysterious pain
It comes on so fast
How long will it last
my heart is pounding, my head starts to spin
Please go away, I dont want you again
im uncontrollably crying
It feels like im dying
my bodys trembling, my hands start to shake
i feel so helpless with all these horrible aches
Someone, please help me, make this go away
i can't stand to feel this way not one more day
Someone, please help me, im down on my knees
im scared and helpless and no one believes
With my head hung low
not knowing where to go
i'll try yet again to explain
my mysterious pain

Emotions are stroking,
Combing through my being.
Seeing them growing,
Now taking control of me.
My tongue acts appropriately,
A person I don't want to be.
Acting uncontrollably,
And then feeling sorry.
Emotions just grab ahold of me,
Running my reality,
Ruining what I thought to be.
Battling duality,
Challenging all of me,
Revealing what I could't see.
As energy affects everybody,
Emotions signal the party,
Attracting those just like me.
Trapped in a cycle of fighting me,
Repeating in my reality,
Creating problems unconsciously.
As the patterns dig deeply,
Deeper until you see,
Their reflection in reality.
Our reaction creates the wake,
Effecting the direction you take.
Repeatedly stuck in this wheel,
Storing emotions until we heal.

The lights flicker on
In the room
The young girl sleeps in
Her smile widens as
She sees her mother
Come in with a book
In her hand
As she sits down
On the bed
The mother brushes
The girl’s hair off her
Face and begins
Reading to her
Watching
As her daughter’s eyes
Softly close
She glances again
And gasps
Seeing a corpse
Replace
Her daughter’s
Once living body
She tries to look
Away
But her head seems
To be unable to move
Forcing the mother
To watch
She wakes up in a panicked
State
Her heart racing
Sweat running down
Her forehead
Hand shaking
Uncontrollably
In her mind
She wishes she could stop
The hallucinations
And nightmares
Entering her mind
But she’s unable
To accept
Her daughter’s dead

What is beauty to me
Beauty is the walk of a woman in heels
The swing and sway of her hips
The subtle uncertainty of her steps
The vulnerability in her eyes
As she feels all the staring eyes
Devouring her beauty
There is nothing more charming
Than the little girl look in her eyes
As she enjoys the attention
But at the same time is uncomfortable
In the role of a seductress
What is beauty to me?
The sweet woman smell as she passes by
Nothing in the whole wide world
Either natural or manufactured
Can even come close to equaling
This ravishing potion that says love
In no uncertain terms, the message comes through
Loud and clear without a word being spoken
As males of the species
We are uncontrollably under her spell
What is beauty to me...
WOMAN!!!

A vortex of energy surrounds me,
Its shared collectively.
Full of possibility,
And my responsibility.
Bare feet grounding my body,
I begin to see Its capability.
Spinning uncontrollably,
It has a Hold of me.
Affecting my whole reality,
Directing where it carries me.
Puzzle pieces swirling,
Holding me down.
I begin twirling,
Turning it around.
Reversing rotation,
Pieces fall to the Ground.
Changing the motion,
A commotion,
Kicks up dust from the past.
Coming in fast,
Blasting the momentum.
Where did that come from,
Another Conundrum.
This Energy,
The Negativity,
All the broken parts of me,
Taking responsibility.
Sifting thoroughly,
The ashes of my choices.
My final approach,
Silencing the voices.
Dust settling into place,
My body happy with the change.
My Vortex reforming,
Conforming to a refined design.
My energy cleansed by the Divine,
Love now embracing,
The twirling thoughts in my mind.
