there’ll be a Pit on this journey
perhaps a Stop.

an encounter with promises
holding smiles kept broken by deception.

Arrange tables, brush seats
pour relaxation, feed fables
sorry, forgiveness, regrets;
everytime given the obscure choice,
you abandoned your faithful promises.

Look within your heart
fabricate stories far fetched
the reality built in the imagination:
what if I had stayed loyal?
held the promises made to myself?

blames won’t be tossed
grief will be Lost.
After all, these Promises are not the only ones broken.


Inspired by: “Love After Love” – Derek Walcott

This poem is to empower you by reminding you that you shouldn’t just try to be like a specific person. That’s very limiting. Aim to be like them, but just so that you can surpass them! Thank you for watching!

There’s Supposed To Be Magic

There’s supposed to be magic:
A question of perception, and imagination.
With a cohesion of the both
You fool!

All reality is not the same but we
Live within the same reality
The same laws of the planet, rules of gravity

On the same space
So don’t envy another’s grace
For you don’t know. You don’t know. You’ll never know.

With the goals you chase, I hope you real-eyes:
Chase it, don’t complain
Learn, don’t go too insane
Always have your eyes on the prize

These things hardest to find
Are sometimes right in front of our eyes—
So focus your vision!

Count your blessings; Thank each day
Thank your gods or keep belief in fate
The journey you’re given is a blessing
Your struggles are a testament.

The high road is rocky but
These cheat codes that God put on your path
Are revealing internally:
You were meant to thrive.

This spark out of your wand. No matter how small
Is no accident. It’s no mistake. It was designed
You’re on the right path.

You’re doing good.

You’re yelling,
“IT’S NOT FAIR!!”
Cause who you compare yourself to
Was given forgiveness, and not the knife
But has God not put cheat codes in your life?

You’re very busy, as we can see,
Attracting
Complaints from the East, complaints from the West
But didn’t mother tell you,
To count your blessings?!

Don’t you know nothing comes without hard work?
Don’t limit the oil to the hustle
You’re the chance you’re waiting for

This shortcut ain’t it. This shortcut can cut you short!

There’s this idea of magic:
A tendency to achieve the unrealistic; beyond ordinary.
Without having to invest decent effort.

I know, I live by this idea.
Fooling the self without noticing.
But that’s the trick of magic—Abrah Kadabra

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.

It looks like
You’ve spent your life excelling.
So you’ve no clue how to deal
Now that you’re about mediocre
Results.

Maybe you’re not working hard enough,
Maybe trying just a little
harder,
Smarter
Can get you right back on course:
Where you belong – Excellence.

Or maybe you have yet to realize
Your mediocre is everyone else’s
Excellence.
As you curse, damn your chance,
Others seek the wisdom of your guidance.

Don’t underestimate your abilities 
Because of the storm of tragedies 
On your tail.

For better or tough,
You are what you’ve always been
At heart
And nothing will ever change that
You are of
Excellence.

I look to my left and right,
The person closest to me
Was staring cautiously.
As if expecting
Me. With support, belief, trust
Respect in the eyes, telling me I won’t lose his
Respect even when earth splits open the skies.

I look to my left and right,
To the one closest to me
Ensuring I am on a right path,
Cheering me up when I fall,
Giving me his back. So I rise.
To reach for clouds
The sun shining behind him;
Shining behind me.

I look to my left and right
And
The person closest to me
Was
Smiling right for my face,
From
A mirror.

We weren’t walking.
We’ve only been pulling ourselves.
On our way to: Wherever life leads us

*deep breath*

Tell yourself something positive
Onward, Little Soldier!

God gives battles to those who can fight it.
So pick up your bag;
Burdens your soul is doomed to bear

And Toughen up Little Soldier,
You’re victorious.

Well,

Here you are again.

Depressed, and punctured by pain,

Telling yourself it’s the end;

You’ll come to an end.

While,

Knowing that you can stand

And fly again
