A Weird is Normal Poetic Moment

Well the first few blogs came with humor and a message. This one comes the same way buuuuuttt not with as much humor but still a message. This entry is more heart felt. Sometimes I get deep in thought and reflection. Often about life, love and what God has in store for me. Often times we struggle mentally and emotionally with those things. I use poetry as an outlet for these things. Now I am no Maya Angelou but decided to share my poetic thoughts. Just decided to post a couple of poems that I wrote from the heart a few years ago (but they still prove true today). One of them is titled I laugh to keep from cryinig which is how I came up with my blog name. Well here goes. I hope you enjoy....


Laugh 2 Keep from Crying
I'm trying so hard to do what's right,
beaten down like I've been in a fight,
but you could never tell...
I'm going through hell
so many obligations and so many resctrictions
but it's ok I'll get over my conflictions
when you see me I'm silly, laughing and joking
but let me let you in on a secret...
I laugh to keep from crying
I've been through family and friends dying
spouse and good friends lying
making myself a success...
I'm really trying
but I just pray
and I just laugh to keep from crying
I'm struggling to stay up
because people and this world are so corrupt
I'm making ends meet
and we'll end up on our feet
God may let me bend yet never break
He won't put more on me than I can take...
I have that faith but when it gets hard
I just keep my head up and...
Laugh to keep from crying.




Mind Complexities

When you look in my mind, whatever you seek, I hope you find,
Be careful, my ming will engulf, tantalite and confuse you,
Have you in a daze no clue what to do, have you zonin' out,
Wonderin' what this life is all about, enter my cranial flow,
You sure you wanna go? Once you enter your mind will blow,
Like a harsh wind during a thunderstorm,
But don't look surprised because you were warned,
Told all of this ahead of time that when you enter my thoughts
they will blow your mind, deep unclear juxtaposed thoughts,
Contemplating one another, but I know my love for God and none other,
The one I chose, my heart lye's with, never once have I played tricks,
I ignite minds with my heart and soul, these things I must unfold,
Not looking for pampering and charity, but instead providing clarity,
Never realized I could flow with such cluster of words,
Dropping emotions in ways never thought of or heard,
That's because it's the speech of the soul, the language of the heart,
A new communication I'm gunna start, well not me,
The language has lingered and lived an eternity,
Allowing my emotions to soar, foolishness no more,
Pure in my mind down to my core,
Good sensations bring fascination with my interpretation, of love,
Which can bring things to the mind never thought of, bad thoughts I leave,
Now in my cerebrum you have traveled, now entwined,
Can you unravel, out of my mind? our of the mental dimensions of me,
To escape back to reality.



Until next time...Thanks for stopping by and I hope ya'll come back nah! Ya hear!?
