I Don't Have
The Answer
Until I Get
An Answer.
Until Then
Then.

Next to a wise man
a brilliant woman, a muse
never Medusa
Like time
Efficency has slipped away secretly
From our bodies
Causing unpredicted destruction
Even the slightest bone
And the smoothest joint
Without sympathy
The joint jelly dries up like a leaf
The strong bone becomes brittle like a twig
Gain in time loss in health
Aging is unquestionable
Like the scientific laws
And so
Make use of them
Before it's too late
utopia and bliss_
unadorned, natural,
uttermost last journey,
unfathomable peace ...
undulating green, and
ultramarine seas flow_
"unbroken is my faith"

Third Place
He roved to their yard with fire
He bounced to the barns
And blazed them down to ashes.
They watched in pains
As he blamed it upon the fire.
He wandered to their stream with filths
He traversed to its source
And spread upon its face the filths.
The groaned in pang
As he blamed it upon the filths
He strolled to their market with light fingers
He made for their purses
And poured them down his porch.
They whimpered in grief
As he blamed it upon the fingers
He paced to their yard, again
He poached their pots
And protruded his big belly from them.
A young lad from the new edge of the yard
Whispered "but this isn't right".
"Hush!" The elders cautioned
In defeated voices
"He is the unquestionable, a blue blooded being"
Morality’s general
with an intimidating aura
and a commanding presence;
this charisma’s description
is a single lane void of corners
written in a dictionary
consisting of a single page.
Blamelessness so standardized
to be empirical
and ruthless to liberalism.
Pragmatism functions but under
the administration of apt discipline
with no chance for taste
and appetite to have their says.
Lips when open
are gates for words of absolution.
Yeah and nay
never exchanging importance
and with an illumination
so exact and precise
that even distant acquaintances
can join in attestation
of its attributes
to become a part of a bunch
of its unsolicited witnesses.
Shoulders of personality
grow high above the heads temple
and character, steeply mountainous
and impossible for compromise to climb.
Such dart hits same spot
over and over again on the board;
such skin keeps to its attitude,
never longing to be tanned or bleached
what a wealthy tiny island
so respected by its surrounding waters!
Imagine what life would be like
if our worth were determine by man
if our mistakes were a barometer of our worth
our favour would run hot and cold
like a see-saw through each day
each breathe we took would be a struggle
the one thing we do without thinking
would be so difficult to achieve
but we've been blessed beyond our imagination
because even in our darkest hour
even when we are down in the valley
God sees our worth
His Son chose to die for us
He declared; she is worth the sacrifice
He declared; he is worth the sacrifice
when in doubt,
when we feel unloved
we need to focus on the cross
God thought we were worth the sacrifice then
He still does; even today

The scars are slowly fading away
A pity the fear seems to be here to stay
We use to share a love so deep
Heaven knows how we let it just seep
Through our fingers -
Your love turned to a slap,
A swear word to bring your point across
I didn’t know fear until a few years ago
When you accidently pushed me away
Your sorry still echo until today
You’ve said it so many times
Every other day -
I needed to get away,
Not just for myself but for our unborn child
Now here I sit, with nothing
But a friend’s unquestionable love,
That gives me the strength to go on
The ability to start anew
Showing me there is a life beyond
Swear words and abuse
I may not have those creature comforts
You use to provide
But I can fall asleep peacefully at night
Knowing our baby is safe
And his mom will not wake up with a
Swollen lip or blue eye in the morning

*not a true story - was written for a writing project the theme was Domestic Violence*
Unstrung as the brave
Nonviolent in protests
Questioning moral wrong
Unfavorable of unfairness
Extravagant in ideas
Supporting freedom
Taunted by the ignorant
Irascible over foolishness
Obsessed by cleanliness
Nameless to the envious
Ambiguous in everything
Bountiful in blessings
Liberal in thoughts
Enthused by laughter
The agile leopard
dives into the deep waters
to seek its dead prey
Entered in Raul Moreno's contest, " Primal Instinct "
Just Imagining the tyrant sand
that covers my toes as i step within.
Shielding my feet from the beaming sunlight
that reminds me nothing of my home life,
Unpeaceful and unquestionable.
My long flowing hair whispering in the wind
wondering when i might get away for good.
Seeking admiration, affection, and warmth.
watching in the distance a family,
enchanted,blissful, and playful.
Still reminding be nothing of my home life,
Unpeaceful and unquestionable.
The waves sprawling on the shore,
causing excitement and confusion.
Wishing that someday i
can feel so much happiness
that all my pain can be washed away,
this is reminding me of my home life,
Unpeaceful and unquestionable.
