Do You See Me Yet?

Think about
Breaking through every barrier and ceiling in your path
Shake away from every hand trying to hold you down
Rip out of the grasp of every negative idea stifling your growth
While stiff arming your past failures
and go…
As high as you believe you can possibly go
and then…
Keep going

Get rid of your clothes
Your earrings
Your jewelry
All of your personal belongings that you’re afraid to lose
Drop your baggage at the curb
Forget all of those dreadful memories that rear their ugly heads
Every time you start to reach for greatness
and bend your knees while standing on a Cumulus Cloud
and jump right out of the galaxy
and then…
Keep going

Throw away your doubt
Your fear
Your self-hate
Your lack of confidence
Your insecurity
Discard all of your mental inhibitions
Until Love is the only thing you have left
and then…
Keep going

Start believing the impossible is possible
Start believing you are destined for great things
Start believing your dreams are not wishful thinking
But prophetic visions of realities yet to come
Use your love to propel you
Replace your hesitation with unwavering faith
and grab a hold of your destiny
and then…
Keep going

Now,
Open your eyes and look
Do you see me yet?

What Happened? (A Haiku dedicated to the Lost Art of Poetry)

Hands clap for poets
Erotic innuendo
They used to speak truth

Love Is…

Love is
A cold blooded
Terrorist
Using guerrilla warfare techniques
To attack
Then retreat
Hiding in some cave
In some remote location
Waiting
For another opportunity
To strike

Love is
A spitting Cobra
Hypnotizing
With its sway
Hurling venom
From close range
Like scud missiles
Clouding
Your vision
Quickly
Overtaking your system
Until you’re hopelessly
Paralyzed
and then
Hovers
Waiting for you to fall
While taunting you
With its hisses
Devours you whole,
then retreats
and waits
For you to breakdown
Slowly

If only you could
Learn to dance
Like the Mongoose
You would at least stand
A chance
Against Love
