Imagine a place
where your face
looks confident
Amidst a space
where you’re safe
without any doubt
Where your voice
no longer screams
but instead sings
Away from fears
from past years
and insecurities
A world in which
you can switch
and forever ditch
your past flaws
No longer
feelings undesired
they are retired
your now
whole again
Dressed in
new attire
feeling proud
and rediscovered
uncovered from sin
Horns, thorns , torn
GONE
Right, wrong
left, right
up, down
don’t exist
Only one way
for you to go
to know
to show
No stress from
OPTIONS
CHOICES
DECISIONS
SUBCONSCIOUS
SHUT OFF
Just be yourself
ACCEPTED
APPLIED
NO VOCABULARY
NOR WORDS
ONLY FEELINGS
WITH PURE THOUGHTS
OF ENERGY
No turmoil
no regrets
JUST SUCCESS
FOR EVERYONE
All LOVE
No hate
Second guessing
GONE
Everyones mind
STRONG
MENTAL HEALTH
No need for
AWARENESS
there’s nothing wrong
PERFECT
Would a place
or space like this
exist I ask myself
WITHIN MY DREAM
If one bite could be
REVERSED
and WORDS that were
HEARD were honored
by the ones that were
SUPPOSED TO LISTEN
To a GOD versus a snake
that took ADVANTAGE of
US ALL , not just them
SO WE PAY FOR
DECISIONS
Of others
Why not
PUT US
IN THAT PREDICAMENT
and let us
DECIDE our fate
As I awake from my daydream
from a phone ringing
As it almost falls off my leg
I catch it and see
AN APPLE WITH A BITE
OUT OF IT
I-PHONE
Could it be
THE MARK OF THE BEAST
***-***-XXXX
We know they record us
WE KNOW THEY TRACK US
We know they market to us
BASED ON CONVERSATIONS
just like the snake
ALWAYS IN OUR EARS
wait maybe this isn’t a dream
BUT RATHER A NIGHTMARE

The majority of my life
I was dependent on things
wether it was adults from youth
or the insecurities they nurtured
Both led to dependency on
many different types of abuse
All the bad examples, advice
and role models led straight to
the bad vices such as alcohol and drug abuse in my attempts to numb the pain, in an attempt to stop the strain, in an attempt to clear my brain but all I accomplished was more falseness to further nurture more pain within myself and pain to be brought onto others
Many loved ones lost the cost of not handling my  business and delaying the inevitable because eventually there’s no running from the reality of what’s going on, no escape from the hate that resides in my mind, no liquid, no pill, no plant, no substance that could prevent me from knowing the TRUTH
A lesson I learned very late but one must trust the teacher brave enough to venture to the dark side long enough to share the light, She did that for me and I took it for granted, her skies became of the darkest amidst her life while trying to help me help myself survive, She wasn’t just a loved one but most definitely the “Love Of My Life” Her presence created change that never ever would’ve been resurrected
A lifeless lifetime victim was the path that I was traveling
Her love stopped my destiny
DEAD IN IT’S TRACKS
Dead our relationship became
That was the final blow
that it took, for me to look
in the mirror and realize it was
ME and not HER
We’re separated now
PHYSICALLY
But never were we
MENTALLY
Ups and downs
Higher than NASA has been
and lower than the equator
We’ve been through them all
Seconds seemed like years
since we have been apart
Years seemed like milliseconds
when she was in my arms
I know how to change that now
We desire to be together now
With many undetermined pieces to an eternal puzzle of happiness, we just have a couple more variables to figure out ( light at the end of the tunnel) It wasn’t until I became independent that I could cherish what it means to be dependent
Independency should never not be an option and dependency should never be a necessity
When the insecurities were addressed, dissected, studied
and let go of.... FADED
Is when it became apparent the lessons she created that I so hated then but now know the love that would be granted from the POWER OF GROWTH
The result : a better man
the result : a better father
the result: a better son
the result: a rekindled love
the result: the return of my love
INDEPENDENCE isn’t just about being free from others hands but also being free from yourself as well
We can be our own worse enemy, we can be our own culprit and we can make ourselves victims
OR
We can be our own best friend, we can be honest with ourselves and we can create CHANGE

Calm it cocky
call it down
switch the words
straight from the heart
no rehearse
Hearst what
shifter
as in gears
not fears
I’m in fifth gear
she’s screaming for 6
I let off the clutch ......
and pull the e-brake
I'm in control
swerve
skirt skirt
flirt
I’m the one
and the only
Reborn-Rob
Shallow waters

call me what you want
I love who I am
play games
I’m the best
I love checkers
but worship Chess
Mindset is strong
used to hate
being wrong
but not anymore
I love learning
a better way
my mind don’t listen
to that ***** subconscious
telling me there’s only
ONE WAY
Life is what you make it
so make it
OKAY !

mountains shadow,
the dark canvas of the sky
spotted with rhinestones-
starry winking fireflies
as the dreamy drifty clouds
are shyly shifting by,
the strange symphony of a hum & buzz
& the distant crickets cry
awakens other-worldly feelings.
Vaguely hypnotized by its mellow
cruising down this lonely road
mesmerized as the moons gaze follows-
me, sat at the back with the window rolled down
as the nights cool breath gently sways the weeping willows....
I want to live in this moment for eternity
In this nocturnal roadtrip to infinity.
a distant thought of
an intimate dream where
my life depended on me
putting emotions into words
everyday,
writing something
that makes me think
of myself as a decent and productive
human being
somewhere in the herd,
contributing
trying to raise the bar
of  critical thinking
in a thoughtless world
it wasn't so mechanical
so I would be on autopilot
but rather its a journey
a transformation,
always growing
perplexed yet again
at that thought of being
satisfied and optimistic,
looking into the mirror
vacillating as always
who am I today?
what will I get done?
being involved in another
facade or just flow
like water
lacking pretence,
waiting to be profound
over the baggage of rebound
longing both to be
known and hidden,
letting the significant moments
of my life
pass in little incidents
will I take these words
and dive in deep?
or simply give up
and go to sleep?
What if I had to write for my survival?
Will I survive?

Vibrations
magnetic force fields
Pyramids
gravitational pull
Mother Nature
runs her course
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
Canyons, Mountains
waterfalls, valleys
Earth’s stones
laid to rest
An outer galaxy
with random threats
Comets, asteroids
and meteorites
DEBRIS
Complexity
in movement
Spin, rotate
and Directions
North, South, East and West
Compass directs
Our Fate
beyond known
Knowledge
The key to unlock
all these secrets
Amidst the bottom
of the oceans
SOMEWHERE
Maybe , maybe not
somewhat unlikely
the magic 8 ball
displays on the Circle Screen
Fast forward
current time
Added stresses
to age old problems
Pollution
overpopulation
islands surrounded by
PLASTIC BOTTLES
Overcrowded landfills
extinct animals
periodic oil spills
Where’s Mother Nature’s
MASK ?
When is tomorrow ?
and who’s living for then ?
In a world that’s all about
NOW NOW NOW
HOW did it come to this
when did happiness
come in the form of
POSSESSIONS
The comet already came
the asteroid already hit
the meteorites everywhere
When mankind landed
it may have been
friendly fire
But that was then
and not now
Every step we take more debris we leave falling behind
Doubt that ?
Then look back
COMPARE
Stare , but please quit pretending
you can’t See, or afford to
PAY ATTENTION
It’s the season for littering , let’s all do our part to keep this earth clean and hold people accountable .
Poetry by MAN May 2021
Wizard of word
My style absurd
Cross the line
The one that's blurred
What is written
May never be spoken
Feed the minds
Till they open
What is my magic?
Let me define
It's the rhythm
Laced with rhyme
Reach beyond
Transcend time
Work together
Humanity will climb
Ego power
Wilt like a flower
Without praise or constant shower
Needs a stroke every hour
All for fun
My words will run
Till the magic I become
Some may think an awful fate
An endless palette to create
Splash of love dab of hate
Master balance become great
For those who speak but are never heard
Living with sickness that can be cured
Every emotion must be stirred
You are too Wizard of word
Some freestyle I wrote awhile ago..

A journey, a dream
to become better
I desire, regardless
the statistics
or what they say

To be realistic
I was captive
to past patterns
they nurtured
but not me

It wasn’t until
I realized this
that I could ever
be able to see
the difference

Once I did
I felt tricked
I was a slave
to bad luck and
a sinners way

Lost love
the cost of
my heritage
my only inheritance
but that was before

Criss cross
no longer parallel
perpendicular
to their views
I now will remain

They love me
they love me not
I’m no longer bitter
they loved me
the best they could

The bandages
are all gone
the scars have faded
I’m no longer adapted
but rather accepted

A soldier in war
coming back home
cannot be that man
that war made him
or had created

A doctor in surgery
trying dearly
to save a life
that has barely a chance
to be able to survive

That doctor
cannot take that death
to his home, nor be proud
of his failures when he
truly tried his best to be a hero

However he shouldn’t feel
ashamed but giving
the circumstances
how can he feel any different ? welcome to life

A board game that never
promises any winners
regardless the talent
or the efforts, wrong or right
no difference sometimes

I’m no mathematician
but it seems lately
it’s all just numbers
and all the smart ones
keep becoming more wealthy

You, him, her and I
the young , the old
And even the babies
we all are just numbers
they add, subtract. divide and
MULTIPLY

IRRELEVANT, IRRELEVANT
I scream because it doesn’t matter what they do nor what they did , I am who I am and know what it is .... that makes me or takes me to where I need to go

My mind the sky . My brain the star , like a compass to lead my heart just below , the right way , our souls float within our whole environment amidst our shells, this is our gravity to attract other like minds , this is our deterrent too, to the ones that try to dispute what we know is true

Faith
       Soul
         MIND-⭐️
             Soul
                Heart ❤️
​​​​                      Soul

Our energy consumes our world and protects us all , but until the energy is pure the light will never shine bright for the heart to see the star that leads us in life’s night or creates day !
SUN

A BEAUTIFUL GALAXY WE ALL CAN BE AND IF ALL MINDS WERE SKIES AND ALL BRAINS WERE STARs AND ALL HEARTS WERE ABLE TO FOLLOW BRIGHT MINDS
imagine the souls that would fly
IMAGINE YOU, HER, HIM, I , THE YOUNG, OLD AND
EVEN THE BABIES

what a world this would be
what a life we all could live
WHAT A LIFE
For you and I

Another facing the screen
writing profanities
thinking insanity
stitching verses acrimonious
or playing pungent words-harmonious
fabricating delusive fantasies
in feelings of pure ecstasy
melancholy or malignity
forged in the bliss of minimalism
or the complex art of maximalism
inspiring poetic athleticism
pressing keys with blazing passion
in an 1880's typists fashion
or pondering by the window
creating a marvelous crescendo
evoking curiosity,
a poetic monstrosity
of thought provoking quality
for questioning our entity
or embracing the obvious,
in whimsical simplicity.
A poetical society
behind my pixelated screen
indulge in poetic impropriety
in Hellopoetry!
written in free verse, as liberating as poetry should be
