"Bucket List"
February 20, 2011
Before I age beyond functionality's prime
And long before the end of my time
a to-do list for life, dubbed a bucket list
It’s a road map for the moments I might’ve missed
Roast marshmallows, light it on fire
Showers with warm towels from the dryer
Fireworks and glow sticks to illuminate childhood
Catching fireflies and feeling emotions only children could
Listen to the wind, take a hike alone
Reach out to a stranger, Friendship on loan
Make someone smile, dive out of the sky
Waste away a Sunday, as snow piles high
Spend evenings in good company of friends
What completes a life really just depends
Is it doing something great, or meeting someone new
Maybe falling in love should be added too
Kiss passionately in the pouring rain
Have a romantic dinner aboard a city-train
See a shooting star, make rocks skip across a lake
Be a witness of a what a miracle can make
On my list, I want to stand and be taken away
By the beauty of this earth, words couldn’t say
For any explanation would be injustice to the scene
Some marvels are uniquely pristine
But most of all
I want to feel the thrill of a the fall
And when I am caught in this trance
I want to promise myself a fighting chance
These items on a list will simply remind
There’s more to life than what I find
A good life, is one lived full, and complete
Like watching a beautifully composed symphony on the street
Follow your heart, and that inner desire
Chasing life and passion on fire
Don't let fear of possibility prevent
The best moments of life you could've spent

"The Persuit"
"The Pursuit"
February 2, 2011
There’s a sensation overcoming my mind
Created from moments forgot or left behind
It’s something quite different and unique
There’s no cons for me to critique
Trying hard to define
Something simply divine
It’s a higher emotion for sure
Never better, for what were
It’s like a passion was set free
Giving reason to what wants to be
A special type of feeling
It’s aftermath is just so appealing
People chase this high
And now I’m understanding why
It’s an understanding with acceptance
Creativity imagined from misunderstood brilliance
It’s unpredictable, unable to accurately anticipate
This phenomena that facilitates neurons to elate
Misdirected intention led to false actualization
One that produced some sort of complication
But this sensation doesn’t care
About people, how or where
It doesn’t judge, but it knows morality
Determining its presence on that principality
It’s very rare to come across it on your own
Or even with someone you’ve hardly known
But it’s unpredictable and may surprise
Attempting to surface where opportunity lies
It’s hidden beneath detection of plain sight
An opportunity undercover if chosen right
Careful to reveal itself only to those who earned
A right to feel the karmic balance returned
For bad as it was, it became something great
Sometimes things seem to arrive a little late
But it appeared at just the right time
To ignore it would be a cosmic crime
It cannot be simply found
Often a journey, by which some are bound
You may search an entire incarnation
Never encountering it along the duration
Unable to be sold or bought
Nor is it something taught
Some chase, some enjoy, while few brings
This phenomenon is like flying atop feathered wings
If you happen to encounter such a feeling
You won’t be able to hide what it’s revealing
For it is honest and pure, special like magic
It can even surface in a life, oh, so tragic
It comes and goes as it may please
Blind in sight, a heart from where it sees
It cannot be fooled, understanding past event
Sometimes it can feel almost heaven sent
Weightless, free, uninfluenced by corruption
It’s unaffected by momentary interruption
If you catch it, but let it leave
Returning to those who really believe
The goodness of a life can be forgot
When bad things start happening more often than not
Feeling like you may have lost it, coming back never
I promise, you won’t feel this way forever
It knows not the car you drive
Or the person who makes you feel alive
It knows only personal experience
With forgiveness and bravery granting clearance
If it appears to you and asks a name
Simply reply, "it’s all the same"
For Happiness doesn’t have formal presentation
It’s everywhere, waiting for an invitation
