Choice

RalphLeave a comment

it’s a choice about which future to choose.
my heart says one thing, and my head another.
I’ve tried going with my heart before.
especially when it comes down to choosing a person,
I learned the heart can be misleading.
with people, the answer arrives only too late.
I wonder if I am making the right choice.
I wonder if I can be comfortable in the future
with the choice.
I wonder if I can make a choice without the others’ influence.
we will see in the future.
we will once again,
be tested.

Everything

RalphLeave a comment

even if you know you will lose this fight,
give it your everything.
even if it is obvious the outcome will not change,
give it your everything
even if it means you will lose all you have,
give it your everything.
because life is lived but once
and we are given only one chance
how to live at this moment
here and now.
so give it your everything
into whatever you believe in.

Upgrade

RalphLeave a comment

something happened.
as if a veil of intelligence was revealed,
my mind cleared, my body abided.
I smashed the ball with my racquet,
it returned with accuracy and high velocity.
as if in a flow, high speed exchange continued.
I woke up from the slumber of the average
and felt my new skin of rediscovered self.
Through sublimation, growth, and evolution,
I sensed an upgrade.

Battle

everyone was busy covering themselves.
no one knew what is right or wrong.
we sensed the moment
and grasped at whatever we felt
was a hand of salvage.
there were comrades who saved us,
and those of us who sought to severe the tie
with a sharp little teeth
glistening as they smile.
in the end, we remembered those who saved us.
those who we helped,
and appreciate the fondness we have for each other.
