A World Of Hope

When there’s a world in front of me
But “nothing” is the only possibility

I try, I try. I’ve tried, I’ve tried.
Swim in a high current trickling
Away with everything:
Including my pride

And hope.
Everything needed to untie the rope
And flow…

Every morning, the sun still shines
It unrolls the sky into a blanket of hope
That covers the world—having enough for
Everybody.

When I was a child,
I used to get struck by lightning
Of amazement,
Each time I realized: the sky never really runs out

It goes as far as your dreams dare to.
And then, some more.
Especially when your back is against the wall
Especially when all hope seems to be at loss.

Hey guys 🙂

It’s been a while. As an artist, I’ve been thinking about how it’s my duty to create art to release into the world in times like this. When the world is in chaos, people turn to art. I love how everyone is coming together and contributing with what they have to help lessen the anxiety brought by the uncertainty of the world’s current situation. I send out a prayer and good energy to those who have lost this battle with Covid-19, and to those who are still fighting. I send out love, eternal blessings, and every positive energy in the world, to those working in a hospital, fighting to save lives against an outrageous enemy. And much thanks and blessings to governments around the world for trying to find balance and steady ground in these trying times.

Stay strong. Keep fighting. And let your hope be the last thing that this virus takes from you. ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾 stay home and wash your hands.

Tinder Chronicles

I see all the trauma
She has overcome
The manifestation of beauty
She’d made sure to become;
The light, art, joy and glory
That’s to come.

Hearing my heart, as it tells me
It would give up anything to be with you.
We are ready to give up everything.
For you to call us yours;
Call this dream ours.

And that’s dangerous. It always is.
You look like a girl I’d give up everything for,
Just for you to be mine.
You be Mine.

“Love” creates this false perception that
People can be—become your property.
And we’ve all owned into it. So, I guess that’s why
The past has been hectic, drama, a lie
Confused.

These thoughts go through my mind
As I tap
Tap, and tap.

My Black So Beautiful

My black so beautiful,
Even through all these funerals

It’s more alive than you,
More spirited than anything;
More woke than your 3-day resurrection.

They’ll try to turn us down. Turn us against each other
Be unattractive to our own

But the ugly is in them.

They tell us about places of graves
Then take us to death.
Tell us to turn it down, or they’ll become [our] deaf(th)

But our life line is still more brilliant than theirs.

While their ancestors are the causes and reasons of why
This world boils in mayhem
We draw strength and courage from the spirits of ours.

So each time we get knocked down,
Our resilience will make the loudest of sounds
Break the ground. Stand back up.

On that same day.

Tonight, like a regular Monday night, I pulled up at the Bowery Poetry Club to warm my soul with some Poetry. While observing the crowd, I saw her. Looking at her, I thought, “ummmmmm (x1000000), she looks familiar 🤔” then, “ummmmmm, she looks like Rupi Kaur”. I pondered on it some more then concluded, “naahhh, Rupi Kaur is taller than that”…but man, moments passed and I just couldn’t shake the thought. So I turned to the Bowery Poetry interns and manager, and whispered, “y’all, is that Rupi Kaur???” Confused, the manager responds, “nnoooo” with certainty. I replied, “but she looks sssssooooo much like Rupi!!” At that, he said, “well, go ask her, man”. So, collecting all the courage and strength in my youthful body, I pulled up on her with a, “hey, you look A LOT like Rupi Kaur”. At that, she replied with a smile, “I am Rupi Kaur.” I froze. Then exploded with, “omg! You’re Rupi Kaur!!! Wait, YOU DO KNOW YOU’RE RUPI KAUR, RIGHT?? Like you’re famous-famous!” Then I blabbered and fanboyed some more, and we took a quadrillion selfies!
.
Tis was a good night, y’all.

A Smile, a Mountain and a Path

They say one person can’t ACTUALLY move mountains,
But that smile…
Gosh! That smile could beam n’ blow a hole
Through a mountain
So tell me, ain’t that the same thing?

What’s the point of moving a mountain when a laughter
Can show your path through it?

That smile transforms your face into a body–a beauty
That is ready to rise to be heavenly
A form that’s so fitting;
A look so natural.

Makes me wonder if your sad face be a mask?

Life on a Tightrope

Living life on a single strand.
One strand of breath
A strand of care
A strand of worry,
Step by step, trying to save ourselves from death.
It was never easy.
To know your steps were not taken freely:
Walking on strands, trying to balance until someone understands

Life is quiet. Walking on a tight rope.
All you have is your heart and soul, as your breath tries to cope.
Some days, we may encounter a special figure.
Not constrained or chained but
Relaxed; Freedom.
Its only feature.
“Happiness”, they call it

But we had already accused it of misdemeanor.

Life is fear, even in our wildest hopes.
We try to hold time and bend it
Like wizards with fear of losing it.
Running after wild hopes, often
Because our true desires is perhaps bound to be slopes

We’re scared. So we’re living on a tight rope.

Shadows on the Walls

My shadows are smart.
They don’t follow me into the chaos;
Not stepping one foot into the starlessness
Created for me.

More vibrant than the nerdy girl
Is their smile in my light.
It’s their chance
To draw me into plight

Consume the luminous atmosphere
That dares to scrap their walls
Or whistle near their floors
It’s their chance to reign again

Shadows:
Reflections of your darkness,
Your demons striving to retain life
Because demons, used to be angels.

A Song’s Strength

Come home later,
Ditch life’s ladder
Search for better,
Though it is wrong.

You should leave but,
Stay a while.
Stay for style.
Worry not about drowning
Darling, we’re strong.

Let’s go,
Unfinished importance became normal:
Homework, sleep, curfew
Or melancholy’s lasso
We’re born to endure long.

Rise to a drowsy sun
Embrace its dark glory like nuns.
We’re in the low, but have found its upper.
Not doing your forward,
We’re different.

High or below,
Homie, we’re strong.
Like a song.

Hello everyone!

 

If you have been following my blog for a while then you will notice that, lately, I have been much more active on this blog. I have been posting more and interacting with followers, potential followers, and blogs that I follow much more! That is because, as many of you may know, I recently graduated from college. Therefore, I have more time on my hands. So I am using that time to write, be more active on my blog, Instagram page, YouTube page and Facebook page.

Of course, one of the main reasons why I am being more active on these pages is that I want to grow. Unfortunately, I cannot grow without YOU, my followers–new and old–who interact with my content every day. Therefore, I would like to give back to you guys by making sure that I post content that you enjoy (poetry and videos, of course)!

So, please comment below what you would like to read about more, on my page. What you like to read about the most and other topics and type of contents that you want to see more of, on my page. All of that is to help me grow and to make your journey on my blog more enjoyable!

Thank you very much, and please comment!
