Stuck IN The House!!!

Let's get in a good mood 
Stray away from the goings on in the world which we can't avoid, 
Although we prepare, 
The rest of the world is out there...

Let's talk about things that fill us with laughter, 
Over Zoom, Skype or other apps,
No more paranoia,
Put a stop to and alla that...

Talk about the good times,
Like parties, mishaps and shenanigans, 
Soon, God Willing we'll have more,
To talk about once again...

Like, not later but soon,
Soon is as God allows, 
But for now,  the best thing is,
Isolation resulting in lockdown...

Phone call, chat, postage stamp,
Or stone's throw away,
Pick a nifty method reaching out,
Make someone's day...

Get reacquainted with family by spending quality time,
Make the most of being home,
As apposed to wishing you had time...

Unfortunately recognize strangers,
Who matter most,
Work and school has turned us into familiar, family ghosts...

It might be awkward starting off, not knowing what to do,
Played games and watching movies till,
Your brains turn into goo...

Make a cake even if you're not a baking fan,
Put puzzles on the table that requires,
Helping hands...

Have a conversation about 3 things you would wish for,
If you had three wishes besides,
Spending time outdoors...

Gather up donations, color, play charades,
Tie-dye shirts, Simon Says, 
Read a book backwards instead..

There's lots of thing to do inside, 
If only you'd imagine,
Keep your spirits up and,
Let not your heart be saddened

Another Random/Wisdom/Thought

Often we find ourselves dealing with highs and lows, from one peak of extreme to the other.

Constantly seeking for balance, peace and commitment in forms that best suit our religious beliefs, personal identity and thought process.

Although we encounter such levels of bliss and chaos, we revisit the formula for sanity and tweak it, trying to achieve tranquility yet again.

Is it possible we experience these moments as a way to work on dealing with something that never goes away instead of trying to eliminate the inevitable?

Then let's assume such an idea and try to PERFECT our responses and prepare ourselves for the next test!

Words...

What's the point of speaking when,

No one's listening,

Too busy bypassing what's coming out of your mouth...

Ducking dodging when they see you comin',

Avoiding conversation because,

It's not interesting,

They can't fallow or,

Don't care to,

Cuz it's you...

Feel like a stranger when I'm at work,

When I'm at home,

Always alone...

Staying occupied with the thoughts in my head,

Prayers that I've said,

All through my silence...

Turning smiles upside down,

Then they beg your pardon,

Politely you accept but,

The truth is your upset...

I guess it a feeling that I'll never get used to,

Although I'm accustomed,

At times I just play dumb...

Random: Deep Down Inside

Speakin' in an unplugged microphone,
Yelling to an empty crowd,
Paying attention to no one,
But the silence of the loud...

Scribble on blank pages with invisible crayons,
Words appearing clear as far as the mind,
Can see...

Reading braille, hands tied behind my back,
Laughing at the punchline from the quiet comedian,
As she cries the heartache of a winner.

So RAndom, So RusTy, BeeN Too LONg









Off the deep end
Pencil, marker, or pen
Gettin spellbound,

Astound, profound,
Verbs other shit and pronouns...

Gotta funny feelin'
Gotta, keep typin,
Trippin' over word semantics,
Lyrical acrobatics,

Not stick shift but, Automatic,
Charismatic must admit
I'm not half bad at it...

Been a while since I've been on,
Thinkin' bout it since I've been gone,
Left for a moment, now I'm back again,
Pick up where I left, let the poems begin...

Not tryin to be cute,
Not tryin to act funny,
Do it for the love,
I ain't makin' no money,

I love's what I do and I
Do what I does,
Glad to be back,
C'mon and show me some
Ear hustling love,

Tell me you missed,
Don't try to kiss me,
Corona's for real,
Grab a mask and shield,

Earbuds, and speakers,
Bobbin' your head,
Hearin the words that come out of my head,
Hearin the words, don't know what to say next,

Ran out of thoughts,
Got me feelin' perplexed,
No time to get vexed,
Blogging virtual text,

No time to stumble,
You know me, I stay humble,
WArming UP and I'm stretchin'
So please pay attention...

I'm a little rusty but,
I'll bounce back quick
Is it just me,
Unique blogger chick

Strenghts Weakness




It takes a woman to make moves,
Woah, man,
I'm making moves, 
To defeat and overcome,
Emotional break down of the pendulum,
That swings between tears, fears, and anger,

Stranger to myself of the foreigner I've become,
Ill will undone, 
From the shield, I slang from,

Acting too hard as if I was real,
Believed if I played hard enough,
This persona of being tough,
Thick skin and strong posture,

All the while, 
The imposter,
Trying hard to hide who I was,
It didn't fit,
Like OJ's glove...

What I recall from days back when,
My front had dropped,
Exposing me again,
The shell I once tried to wear,
My strength in truth,
It could not bear,

It could not hold,
I was too bold,
The fake was an imposter of me,
The me that I am,
The woman I've been, 
The joke I played in front of my friends,

I appeared as weak when I tried to be strong,
A front I chose to carry on,
Y'all kept me going,
Egged me on,
For fear intimidating,
Held tounges for too long,
Kept me at bay,
To secure your preception,
Lifes strongest lady,
With true imperfections,

True as I am,
True as I've been,
Regained consciousness,
From the me within,
Y'all still act funny,
Fake smiles and such,
Bracing for the day,
I'd beat you to the punch,

Figured out your apprehension,
Of why you failed to mention,
Standing by witnessing my act,
Playing like I was alla that,
While you watched me carry on,
But the vail would hold for so long,
Now you wanna act surprised,
When the true me poured out from inside.

What happened to being more than friends,
Family's what you labeled me,
Held you close by my right hand,
Thought you held me from the quicksand,

Thought you had my back from being close,
Keep it honest, keep me in line,
All the while you were ghost,
Invisible to the naked eye.

It's alright, I guess I learned,
Everyone, I must discern,
But most of all, I'll never doubt,
Or pretend what I'm about.

Strong like might, huge like damn,
Holding back the might
