The Poetry Marathon

Successfully, surfing, strong sisters,

Unconsciously united under the unexpected,

Recognizing rapport,

Visualizing variants of valor,

Imagine implying the impossible,

Vivid voices,

Obviously, obliterating opposition,

Releasing restraint, regaining relief.

Love,

Chicken, basketball,

Eating, crunching, playing,

Adore, passionate, delicious, delectable,

Deceiving, lying, confusing,

Liars, disorganization

Hate.

I can’t stop, won’t stop,

This is not no easy chore,

Bursting energy.

I’ve never said this before,

To you at least,

So, be careful how you respond,

As you recall, my feelings,

You have always tried to appease,

There’s no mystery in how I feel,

The slightest hints of flirts,

Pulsating chest, nerves revealed,

Truth hidden beneath barriers still being broken,

However, I’ve found there is comfort here,

So, I remain…

Sheltered with doubt, hope, suspicions,

Here it is; for you, there is affection,

A warmth feeling, hot chocolate couldn’t provide,

Distance and time has gone by,

Yet these feelings has yet to subside,

On the contrary, they’ve grown stronger,

With every sun that sets and rises,

The calendar pages turn,

Alexa, has turned off the light once more,

Night has fallen,

Sun has rose, eyes awaken to a new day,

He’s gone, he was never here,

It was just a dream.

Expect the unexpected,

What’s expected is not presented,

Therefore, I accept the likely presence of what’s unexpected,

Though it’s not easy to weather the storm,

Seasons change; after the rain,

Rainbows always form,

Despite the miniscule differences in each situation,

A commonality is the unexpected will arrive,

Must we prepare to expect the unexpected.

From ear to ear, I smile,

Utilizing each facial muscle bone,

Pearly whites gleaming,

Twinkle of my eye sparkling,

High cheek bones, minus the dimples,

A soft grin, slight angle of my lips,

I smile…

Through happy and sad occasions,

Laughing off frustrations,

Amused by the simplest gestures,

Because it’s much easier than to frown,

And it makes it much better,

I smile.

Erasing all fear,

Creating a web of faith,

Jumping in feet first.

Deserving of love,

A rightful passage in life,

I’m worthy of love.

The sun is setting,

A new horizon is near,

Embrace the new day.

Take me back to the waters of the deep blue ,

Where billies of clouds covers oceans sky’s,

And peace and serenity intertwine,

Sights of wondrous sunrise and sunset,

Rays of sun kissing my sweet melanin skin,

Soft sand sifting through my toes,

Worry me not today,

For I have reached a state of bliss,

And in this moment,

I am and so shall I be,

Closing my eyes to visualize,

The sights, smells, sounds,

I am here;

I have found such a blissful place,

I must bottle it up and close it real tight,

Save it for when a reminder of such a time,

exited in time.
