splendors of the night

Inhaling and
exhaling

Learning that
all things are better left unsaid

When a
fool sounds
and looks
like a fool

Stay silent
and enjoy
the debauchery

When insecurities
are inflated with
petty jabs, competitive
licks, which is hilarious
when both parties are
don’t have the same
anatomical configurations

One must admit the
verbal assertion doesn’t
equate confidence

It asserts the level
of low emotional
intelligence

Material belongings
are fleeting, like the
waterfalls of the Niagara
Falls

When emotional
instability has not
been resolved, healed
particularly from a masculine


It’s a scary and a
dangerous flight

Grateful for not
leaping to
a liability

Particularly, when
one ancestor forewarned
and said to stand clear
of potential lethal danger

It’s poison ivy
for your mind, body
and spirit

And you will live
a life of misery hurt
and tears

As a highly favored
of a child of ancestors
royalty

They commune and
found it is best to
leave in peace

As an obedient child
of my ancestors, grandmother,
one move accordingly

Not everything needs
an explanation

Everything
is a teachable
moment–that’s
the beauty of
life

Don’t let someone
manipulate you with
low-quality stationery
placeholders disguised
as a recipe of fine dining

Stay vigilant
and don’t
compromise
on quality and standards

Because some
are too much of
an imbecile
to see they
are only fooling
themselves
with mind games
that were already
invented, crafted
and molded already

As my loving
fatherly figure
told me not to
never react to
idiots–
which are reflective
to their inner childhood
trauma that they have
yet to heal

Let a fool continue
sounding
like one–

As they think
they are master
con artist but not
realizing they are
not satisfied with
themselves—

So, six months
of therapy is
not enough, sweetie-

Projection is the
little child screaming
for help–

Trying to make someone jealous
when the doors
are already closed
is a sign of immaturity
and lack of
emotional intelligence

So be careful
as it will
haunt you if
you have not
look at the
person in the
mirror and
take
the time to
reflect and work
on those misguided
wounds that you wave
as confidence–

There’s pure
genuine love in
ones’ heart in
ending what was
not meant to be–

Humbleness and
confidence is an
absolute and
one doesn’t need
assert or scream
like a wounded, hurt little child–

Life is too short and
unpredictable,
so never assume you’re
better or beneath
someone else–

Just like a rug can
be pulled out from
under you, you can
lose everything
at any moment–

So, learning to
be humble and
reserving your
ego is called
emotional maturity–

As we age,
it’s easy to assume
that we automatically
become wiser and
more mature. However,
the truth is that maturity
is not a guarantee with
each passing year


True maturity is
achieved through
experience, self-reflection,
and a willingness to learn
and grow. Don’t let the
calendar fool you –
real maturity is earned, not given–

Therefore,
flourish in unsettled
and unresolved
trauma that
trapped within
the walls of stubbornness

As one enjoys the
blessings on what
to come and not
allowing others
opinion sway or
damper one’s
achievement
of healing and
happiness–

Allow the flow
of the breeze to
find its course in
the rhythm of
the waves of the ocean

Thank you
for showing me
who you are-
as I enjoy a good
laughter–

Love + Light
