Cigarette 🚬
Holding it with my fingertips,
Caressing the paper filters,
Lighting a match, inhale, exhale airs,
Air that’s stuffy, foggy, stinky.
It casts an oppressive smell,
That you try to outrun like a bell
Ringing in lunchtime,
The smell becomes a halting
Breath that stalls in your lung
Fighting for oxygen’s purity
To flush out the dreadful
Odor that sticks to hair that fell,
And clothes that have a stench
Of smoke, driving you to asphyxiation
As you endeavor to hide from the pulverization
Of aromas that bleed deposits
Into bronchials that hinder
A normal breather.

Labyrinth
Life is full of predicaments,
Labyrinths are the only road available.
Line your car with gas that spars
Long with the deadly turns that are viable.
Longing for straightforward success,
Laying out your failures that press.
Limp around giving a guess
Looking forward to new life that’s not less.
Legends are complex and teach
Loyalty and friendship, but suppress
Liars that generate a great reach
Leaving them as villains that squeals.
Light up your life with loyals
Living through difficulties and prove
Logical in their enterprises
Letting the faithful mind make a succesful move.

Defining ‘Me’
As a teen, are you aware?
Aware of your strengths,
Aware of your weaknesses,
Aware of your beliefs,
Aware of your needs?
You may have a vague
Notion about all the above,
But can’t define any with clarity.
Make mistakes,
Learn from them, lessons,
Let’s live life with its joys
That reflect your awareness
Of successes and failures.
Your patience, reactions,
And actions define your emotions,
Those help to highlight your characters’
Flexibility when faced with adversities.
Accepting that failure isn’t an end
But a beginning; as it’s where you
Find out about yourself, and become aware.

Silver Light
Silver light shines so bright,
Reflects on your surface in a fight
To blot out the blight
Of oppressive night.
As it shimmers on the lake
At night, it dances with shadows, fake
In their adulation of your stake
In everything that’s ensconced in black.
Its silver sheen is reminiscent
Of the clouds’ silver lining that bent
The impossible to their heaven sent
Hope that relies on faith not being absent.

If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
Rules and discipline are for Sly, our GSD, like candy is to be eaten. He chews out the rules, trying to break them by being cute, cuddly, and loving. When he’s like that, I forget to enforce the rules!

Misty Fog
Fog’s hazy dream world drizzled
Down the mountain side, as the sun’s rays fizzled
Into its relentless brume and lays its web,
Like a spider setting up its nest in fab
Tradition, that calls prey to its behest.
The scene above and below is covered
In a dreamy gauze that needs not be applauded,
As the blurry vision reflects a reality
Few wish to face: life is shady,
Never clear cut, rather its variety, at best,
Its unpredictability takes you away from absolutes
That are limiting in their scopes as brutes
That wrench your rosy world into chaos
Of flutes whose mellow, ethereal sounds floss
Your heart into airy contentment lest …
It dissipates, like the misty miasma in a royal crest.

Intentions
Upon reflection on a year gone by,
I notice that life is short and needs to fly.
As time dissipates in the fog of winter
Storms that flog your optimism into a pauper,
I lie back and wonder …
How do I make the following year better?
My goals are set for my self-improvement,
Where I wish to feel no bereavement.
Goals are so arbitrary, that, at times
They pull you down into hades.
As I set my goals: reducing my intrusive
Conversation and being more conservative
In my opinions, but only with certain
Peoples, who lack perception.
Another goal is to write more,
Submit more, and succeed more.
I believe the latter more feasible,
As the first requires me to be more biddable.
I hope to achieve a certain censorship
As not to come to hardship.

What could you do differently?
If we had hindsight, we’d do many things very differently. However, life doesn’t give you any makeovers, so if you fall into the infinite possibilities of different actions you could have taken, you’ll fall into the abyss of second-guessing your decisions. That will invariably turn into not making a decision at all, making you stagnate in place and never move forward. This is a hard lesson to learn and implement, but it’s worth it. When you reach a place where you can learn from the decisions you make, face the issues and move forward, then, and only then, can you face making decisions knowing that you might have to revisit it.

Wishes
As the countdown to 2023 starts,
My mind takes a long look behind
And wonders what wishes, surprises
Are in store for 2024 that won’t stand
Down to the tests of time.
I wish for a world of peace
I wish for a world without violence,
I wish for justice to prevail,
I wish for family strength and unity,
I wish for a world that’s compassionate and humane,
I wish for honesty to triumph over lies,
I wish that this society’s rules made sense,
I wish, I wish, I wish…
Wishing for something and achieving
Your goal are separate indeed, as
Working hard drives you to attaining
Your objective, while just wishing for it to lands
In your lap will never happen!

Acrostic poems are a form I enjoy using, as it’s challenging to use the word/ title as the start of each line. My aim when using this form is to have the theme of the poem reflect the word/ title. Plus, when the rules require a limited number of lines, it’s simpler to use the Acrostic form.
