2 Fingers Up
Self reflecting with two
fingers up. Projecting peace,
A double entendre.
Happy, with a joyful smile
Showing my teeth.

A Farwell to the past versions of me.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Emotional Creatures
Some of us worry about
“Certain features”,
We go through “desperate measures”.
To provide some type of pleasure.
We’re Constantly under pressure,
Fighting with gravity.
We are searching and looking
Browsing at eye candy,
Looks are appealing, but
To get a taste.
You might Unwrap other
Feelings!
Revealing the mind is
So divine,
Sometimes it’s quiet and unspoken,
Then sometimes it’s loud!
When it’s provoken,
Soo, maybe….it’s better to
Leave it unopened.
The power of emotions, blows up!
Some atomic fluids flowing. Now,
We’re chemically influenced.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Michael, I love how you explain the complexity of emotions we encounter as humans each day. Our emotions have the power to influence us in a variety of ways and in many cases, we are unable to control them. It is so interesting that we have such little power against something that is so prevalent in our lives. Thank you for sharing this poem!

Beautiful piece, love it. You’ve painted a picture with these words You’ve chosen to use. I had a similar feelings for a female.
And sometimes I see her pretty face & pretty smile through my meditation.
Eyes are closed catching a glimpse of her silhouette. One I would consider a best friend even though we might wanna take it further than that.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Write a love letter to something (not someone) that you love 1 months ago
Love Driven
Love comes in many
Forms, it doesn’t
Have to be sexual.
The concept of love
Is different for each and
Everyone of us.
Some love to touch,
While others love to talk,
Hear the reassuring sound
From the words that come out.
Love is expensive and expressive.
It’s addictive but don’t get it twisted,
The words “I LOVE YOU” don’t mean shit.
Love is a feeling that is revealing through
The ears, the eyes, can be touched from
Vibrations of the frequency of the voice.
Once you hear that certain noise,
Ears perk up like a dog, now you’re filled
With joy. Even the scent can bring some
Love as your brain ignites and triggers
A wonderful feeling from inside.
Love struck like lightning from deep
Inside my mind, I had to express Myself.
I’ve felt love from plenty.
I’ve showed love, also experienced
& expressed it gradually.
Without loving myself,how
Could I show it,
Love is diverse
& driven from Emotions.Voting starts May 1, 2025 12:00am

Self Reflection
Mirror Mirror on the wall,
Can I ask a few questions?
From different angles,
Different times &
Different spaces,
As my mind processes
This energy I’m emitting.
Looking for my reflection, perception
Always looking different, the
Human I’m becoming is
Constantly growing.While Looking
Through different angles,
Different times & different spaces.
Acknowledgement of growth
So I ask my mirrored self,
Where else can we go?
With the space & time.
What are we gonna do
With them both?
To create a better brighter image.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Why and how do
We reflect these images.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Michael, this is a beautiful poem! I love how you acknowledge your growth but still strive for improvement constantly. Too often, we get too content with where we are and forget the importance of growing into stronger, wiser, and better versions of ourselves. Thank you for inspiring me!

Love your story! I enjoy running,
It’s a high on it own. That was a goal of mine at one point. I started to get to
About 3 miles in about 50 minutes.
Love to push myself a little more as you did. Even tried to get my speed up.
The fastest I have got a single mile in
Was 7 minutes 48 seconds.
And the high from that felt like
An accomplished moment.
Thanks fir sharing your story
I’m gonna have to try to get
Back into this.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Health, Wellness and Chronic Conditions group 1 months, 2 weeks ago
A part of me-Now- apart from me
Dissatisfied, looking unbothered
Smiles on the outside
With holding information.
Why waste my breath on explaining?
I’m learning to vent through
Poetry and music.
That’s the best way to
Get to know me,
I’m even getting to know myself.
As I sit back and think
Of my impatient past, with
Social anxiety. Had to basically
Learn how to live without the use of
Opiates, I was constantly sedated
For year’s. Knew I had to quit.
Then eventually went cold turkey,
I could probably say Marijuana
Helped me. I’ve attempted to quit
Multiple times go 3 to 5 days
Going through a sickness. Withdrawals
Are no joke when it comes to this.
So I used Marijuana to help
With my appetite and insomnia.
& alleviate my anxiety,
I’ve tried prescriptions
For it but I lost weight &
My appetite. So I let those go to.
To me it wasn’t worth it,
I have even come to a hatred
For pills in general.
Broke some bones after being
Clean. I’ve denied any pain meds
I couldn’t handle the thought of me
Out here hurting inside like that
Again. For years I’ve hidden it
But then eventually people see
And it’s not hidden.
Trying to hide the rattling sounds
Of a prescription,
Went and seen a shrink
Asking questions about how
I feel and think. I did this voluntarily,
In search for answers!
Then went off into
The abyss, as my biological body
Has adapted to certain things
Creating new proteins.
Another moment that turned
Out scary and exciting.
Development of knowledge
As I start to become it.
Now I’m reflecting it,
This is just my story, my
Experience, my testament.
They say we’re all the same
But what works for me
Could be different for other’s.
In my opinion from my
New found perception.
This is just part of my Development
We’re all out here with different views,
Different struggles, different battles.
In every culture in every religion
What it really comes down
To is the belief system.
Integrated with information
Like a genetic memory.
The DNA within,
Conflicting as it’s constantly changing.
Influenced with intuition,
Brings up another point about
Family & traditions, cultural & environmental
Experience. we’re all brought up different
They say only elephants hold
A genetic memory,
But, doesn’t everything have
A natural instinct?
Working on my crown
As I build my wisdom & connection.
I’m very thankful & feel
Extremely blessed to climb
Out of that addiction.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Michael, I am so glad that you have the strength to beat your addiction. In my opinion, that is one of the most difficult things for people to accomplish. The fact that you continued to have pills offered to you but that you refused to take them shows that you are committed to your journey. I am inspired by you! Thank you for sharing your experience.

E-motional-Picture
Heart went up in smoke.
Then turned cold,
Watching time unfold
As I inhale & exhale.
Observing the twists & turns
Of my vapors fading.
Just an observation, manipulating
“My space” through
(Time) as i Emit energy.
Particles partially fading
In a particular way.
To capture a picture.
Would be soo… captivating.
“Slow motion” catching a glimpse
Of 《time》 fading.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Michael, this is a powerful poem. It is amazing how time is something that we base our entire lives on but also something that cannot be touched, captured, or duplicated. You are right that it would be captivating to catch a glimpse of time as it comes and goes in our lives. Thank you for sharing this piece!

Time Collapse
Time collapsed, reached
That destination.
Time to take it further.
Contemplating and recalculating
With another goal to reach.
Time consuming with
Work, reading & writing
Wonders of where to venture off to next.
Feet firmly planted trying to stay one step Ahead, staying in the moment & mixed past
Times for the “future” in the present.
Tenacious Times fall with a gift.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Michael, I really like the way you describe time in your poetry. It is such a fundamental part of our existence and we get so caught up in “making” enough time to reach our goals. In reality, humans are just vessels that time travels through without pause. We only have a finite amount of time and should do our best to appreciate it.

Royal Tree
Planting a royal tree,
It’s blossoms with love
Grown with loyalty.
Sprouted in the darkness.
With the crown loving the light.
Rooted in nature, with water
Becoming bigger & stronger.

Love is what we give shouldn’t be what we search for. Once it finds us
In the form of our perception
Hard to accept it as a blessing.

Pouring out my heart
Pouring out my heart
Through this art
Writing about a new start
Or a moment that my life
Started to fall apart
Broken pieces
Putting together my thesis
Sharing my painful
And joyful experiences
So here’s a shot of me
If you’re interested in a drink
Pouring out my heart
A shot of love a with a
Splash hope
Mixed with life
Might have you feeling alright
Pouring out my heart
