UPDATE:
1) The Expression Session was a great success. It even inspired people who wanted to just watch, to step on stage and read a story or some poems.
2) Italy was amazing! They were praising my poems and I will definitely “tour” the country and perform.
Back to the grind! I wrote 3 poems the past week. Here’s one:
The Pledge
Patience. Persistence.
I am beyond grateful for your existence
as I tumbled and stumbled
through a non-secured tunnel.
However, I suspect you of foul play.
That’s right, you’ve been caught, nothing to say?
I mean, what kind of love is this?
At first I thought I struck it rich
but it seems you always had a motive
and honestly, I don’t know if
it’s possible to forget or even forgive
due to the shock that has taken
over my being. It ain’t like you were fakin’
your feelings but I might’ve mistaken
your meanings for supporting me.
I’ve explained all possibilities
and it’s plain to see
that you’ve been using and possibly me
abusing the
connection that I unwittingly
established some years ago.
___________________________________
Now that I know,
I don’t care.
This two-person Voltron
we have goin’ on relies on
facing everything as one.
It’s created this calculating, insane
Poet tapping into countless brains
helping others gain
an understanding of what lies
beyond the 10 percent. All ties
to previous lives
will be severed and will never
be held, much less, contained, ever.
So please, I write to thee
continue to use me.
I pledge to forever be
Your willing vessel, dear Poetry.
