Hocus Pocus

The night before

Starts with a flicker

A bit of excitement

Yearning for quicker

Out in the horizon

The light changes

Dusk becomes dawn

Emotions in all ranges

This is the day

Make or break

Anxiety heightens

To realize my stake

A question pops

Expands in the mind

Should I have

Oh never mind

Full steam ahead

I jump wholly in

Whatever it is

Bear it within

The sun rises

Here already too late

Time to go

Now is the fate

What is perceived

Dreams of grandeur

Nightmarish horrors

The opening door

Time to see

Critical Focus

I am awakened

Hocus pocus!

These are my thoughts are of the future, of what is around the corner, and how I visualize a fateful day. I'm not sure what this fateful day is about, but it popped into my head just right now. It is a view into the internal mechanism of my mind and its actions, the decision-making process. Does your mind work the same way?  

The Spark That Burns

The spark that burns

Eats me alive

I am consumed

To fight and strive

The time is now

Carpe diem

Seize the moment

Thoughts on a whim

The struggles within

In a barren wasteland

Are but nothing

Against my stand

The anger bursts

A ferocious growl

I am the predator

On the prowl

Inactivity

Can be no more

Rising up

Breaking  through the door

The opportunity is here

Locked and targeted

Aiming high

The mind accelerated

The spark that burns

Empowers me whole

I shoot for the stars

My lofty goal.

I know that I haven't been blogging, but the passion that burns now has returned and I hope to carry this flame as far as it can go. I hope you will join me and thank you for your support.

Trapped in a Flow

Trapped in a flow
Nowhere to go

What shall I do
Feel like fool

Against the current
A theme recurrent

My heart fervent
The mind dissonant

Stewing in my head
Confusion I tread

Need for a spark
For decisions landmark

Forced in a burrow
Creativity in furrow

Searching for the light
Inspiration's delight

Crying out a plea
Yearning to flee

Chastised to be quiet
The soul is a riot

Trapped in a flow
Somewhere I need to go.

My Fate

As the door creaks open
A monstrous figure appears
Dripping tears and sweat
Ferociously emitting fears

He growls fiercely loud
Terrifying the soul
Heat emanates from him
Blanketing the cold

The eyes seek you out
Mystifying in terror
He sees through the dark
Into the most inner

A blaze is lit
Engulfed is the room
I have no way out
Impending doom

I can see the hunger
The agony and pain within
Locked up in dormancy
Too long has it surely been

Rage fuels him
It shrouds the damp air
Encircled in flames
Affixed with a devious stare

A sudden movement
Is all it takes
One swift strike
And death seemingly makes

The ground quickly quivers
He has made his move
The thunderous quake
Like a hammered screw

I fall in grace
He devours the mold
An explosive transformation
Bends into the fold

Awakened from slumber
From the ashes pitiful
Flight takes its strong form
A phoenix in full

Morphed from the dreary
I have become him
In hunger and piercing pain
Filled to the bitter brim

I have returned
From the land of nether
Darting toward the goal
Of the dreams of better

Long it has been lost
Now I gather in powerful force
The passion and motivation
My flight takes it course

I shatter through the door
For opportunities embrace
Trailblazing through stubborn rock
Leaving a clear trace

My soul is lit with fire
The fervor resonates
I'm focused on my desires
I'll make my fate.

Never Give Up

Never give up
No let down
When times seem bleak
And the tide overbearing
Face it full steam

Get off the ground
Refocus the senses
Fixate the eyes
Listen to the beat
Follow the heart

The pain throttles
But soon subsides
The vitality grows
Rage burns furious
A forward march

Resistance to loss
No more agony
I see the goal
Never give up
Never let down
------------------
In dedication to perseverance in attaining personal goals recently realized. A calculated risk taken and rewarded.

In the Zone

Furious in temperament
I fly fast through the pages
In the zone
Fixated on the goal
The sounds disappear
I see only the light
No impedance
A clear path
Nothing can go wrong
I am here at last
Blastoff
Higher and yet much more
The heart slows down
Time is at a still
Freeze frame
My claim to fame
I go for the kill
The task is finished
The pinnacle is reached

Then

Reality hits with a bang!

Inspired by times when I am living in the moment, carpe diem, achieving the task I set forth without a problem or an obstacle. Oddly enough, time seems so much in a bliss when you're "in the zone." Too bad these times only last for a small part of life at a time. If only we did not get exhausted. Now I must head to bed. Good night!

Freedom

A wrecking ball
Blows past me
Toward the wall
Set to be free

Standards of the past
Flash before the eyes
Shattered at last
No limit the skies

Forward the march
Uncontrollable yearning
No backward arch
Infernal burning

Hunger strikes a pose
Negligence dissipates
These foes I depose
A new way anticipates

Painful yesteryear
Bellows its last breath
I see no fear
It has been put to death.

Pressure

Mounting in the distance
A whole platoon or two
Oh heck, maybe even more
What is my strategy
Waves are crashing in
I must decide when
Should I run, flee
Who knows what to do
The sand is blowing away
The drums are beating
Calamities bountiful
Confusion rules the day
Strategy is foiled
Oh what the hell
I'll bust it open
Take a chance
Finish what I set out
The clock is ticking
Patience is pixie dust thin
The rush flushes
Within and throughout
The terror of night
Fast forward
Ever blaze of glory
Disaster aversion tactic
I have done it
Sealed the deal
Pushed against the grain
An army of one
Dust my shoulders off
Pow, Bam, Kaboom
Force to be reckoned with
Anger of passion
Fought like rebels
Against the rising tide
The drum beats no more
My heart gleams bold
Pressure
Pressure
Pressure
No more
Period.

In consideration and joy of writing under pressure =) Mostly self-induced because I like to finish my jobs on time or earlier if possible.

An Encore from Linkin Park and Jay Z

Hey guys, sorry for being so busy. I mean to visit your sites and post new writings, but I'm just busy working on stuff that pays the bills, my job. In real life, I'm a freelance writer with an emphasis on medical, health and science. A lot of work came down the pipeline and I'm focused on that work. Anyway, to appease my followers and yes I mean you guys, I am posting a video of my favorite band. Thank you for reading and I appreciate all your comments. Hopefully I'll come back soon. =) Until then, please do enjoy!

Inspired

Spewing beneath
In molten agony
Is the belief
And lack of apathy

What he seeks
The ultimate reward
Fiery flames
Reach the accord

In his dreams
Many times over
Anger speaks
No run for cover

Faithfully built
Aptly skilled
Stroke of genius
Heartily willed

The time has come
Shining bright lights
Zeal for greatness
Set hard on the sights

The moment calls
Onward it beckons
Unleash the fight
A ferocious weapon

With one fell shot
Seething in disgust
The weak fall and fail
In that powerful thrust

That competitive spirit
The passionately desired
Shall never cease
I am inspired.

Written as an inspiration of "Heart of a Champion"

I Believe

I believe
I can do this
Go forward
And achieve
My goals
Aspirations
And dreams

Others may
Even loved ones
Bring you down
Dismiss as real
Jokingly laugh
Blasphemy they say
Not attainable

I will not
Let that seep
Into the core
A defense
Stout and strong
Stubbornly heady
I will go on

They see not
The true ambition
Spit at my decision
Curse my sights
Toss the book
In my face
But I stand still

I see the light
The tunnel
Of my desire
My innermost
Core and heart
Soon you shall see
What I believe.

As a dedication
To those who do not believe
What I can achieve
Hard work
Hearty labor
Never give up
And never cease

I believe
And so I shall see
Soon they shall too
Believe
My dreams
My love
And my passion!

Hunger

There is a yearning
A need and want
That is burning
Inside that flaunts

What shall I do
It growls and rolls
I haven't a clue
The innards bowl

It hits with a pang
Soundly and assuredly
Unbalanced I hang
Looking to hold firmly

I search the field
Looking left and right
For something that yields
Sustenance for the fight

Then the sound grows
Louder and in more pain
Try to shoulder the blows
Alas I cannot tame

The alarms have sounded
Whistles and bells
I have been hounded
Of signs so tell-tell

What are the signs
Odd and discouraging
That hits so unkind
Befalls me staggering?

Hunger.
