Forever

Gently kissing her fears away

Assuring her that he is here to stay

Knowing that he is all she sees

He doesn't waste his time on envy

Secure in her, and all she is

Feeling her is all he needs

Defining moments
Sprawled across time
Confirming actions
Coinciding sublime

He knew they were meant to connect
Understood how circumstances tore her down
Rather than run from the tears of the one he loved
Being a man of valor, he embraced her in
All her raw essence, watching her heal
While he drew the blueprint to
Prosper alongside her for
All the days of
His life
As one

Forever

Nohoikawai - Prophecy Unveiled

Nohoikawai

I see you once again

Nohoikawai

You reveal more each time

Nohoikawai

The center of it all

The reason for its bond

The heart of all its trust

One who dwelleth beside still water

Content in warm sunlight

He who overcometh all

No time wasted anterior.

Nohoikawai

How so much to say

Nohoikawai

Your spirit speaks so loud

Nohoikawai

Reveal evasive dreams

Bring forth your light

Embrace your inner rhythm

One who remains steadfast

Driven by reigns of loyalty

Observing stars in darkened skies

Protection of the one.

Nohoikawai

Prophecy unveiled

Nobody could have seen

What you have shown

No fortune untold by its master

Heightened breath of life

Rapid the exchange

Solidifying truth

Bound in light

Fortitude of righteousness

Pillar of grace

Manifested destiny

Decipher

Beauty lies within the skies

Parents singing children's lullabies

Slumber revealing worlds unknown

Reaping from seeds of past lives sown

Collecting data to even scores

No time to waste on relentless wars

Calculating moves, inspiring dreams

Deciphering codes etched in seams

Confirmation dropping dynamite

Exploiting truth of darkened light

Balancing between galaxies

Striking down fallacies

Essence Forever More

Essence driven beyond broken dreams

Painful events aren't always what they seem

There seems to be silver lining in the sky

Such as to remind one who you are and why

Gentle reflections of who you truly are

Not that blemished bullshit societal scar

Eviction notices to rented empty space

Mindless connections become disgrace

Cutting loses that wage senseless war

Generating deeper roots of peace forever more

True North

Every compass has directions four

But a true north holds much more

Than what ordinary compasses could ever hold

Than the greatest story ever to have been told

My true north

Leads me where still waters lie

Where steep valley walls embrace me

Safely tucked away from danger's reach

Game Over

Slow to begin

Accelerating with time

Gaining strength

Momentum rising

Interception

Deception

Game Over

The Woman You've Become

This poem is dedicated to my only beloved daughter
My resurrection in full correction


Every time I think of the woman you've become

I sit and ask myself, just what have I done?

From the choice of your name

To your eyes, a mirrored treat

Since the moment I felt you

Alive, safely in my womb

Moments we cherished

Battles endured together

Years of testimony

As the years often reveal

As I sit back to watch the woman you've become

I think to myself, just what have I done?

Perched in the corner
Watching over you

Noticing how you
Conduct your affairs

I can see that you
Handle all life with great care

I see how you flutter
When missions are complete

I see how you empathize
When the load gets heavy

I see how you defend
Each boundary you create

I see how you respect
Your sparrow's fate

And I sit back to reflect on what I have done
That makes me so proud of the woman you've become

Myriad of Illusion

Pale moon high

Fateful midnight

Astrological action

Two stars collide

Abashed in sparkles

Moments entwined

Chivalry presented

Epic parallel ride

Drifting in galaxies

Distances apart

Crossing skies

Planetary specialty

Cosmic event over

Finite coexistence

Infinitely bonded

Never and forever

Neither existing

Coexisting

Primal

Breathtaking

Utopic

Destiny

Dimension of fate

Constellations

Whisked away

Myriad of illusion

Restoration En Route

Rain upon the floor of heaven

Glorious sight to behold

Lush fauna speaking tones of green

Amidst speckles of edible delicacies

Juicy purple mangoes, adorn trees

Sweet touch of honey bee

All things life

Asphalt roads bridging distances

Concrete walls enclosing secrets

Screaming darkened eyelids

Jungles of rubbish strewn streets

All thing desparity

Builders developing subdivisions

Empty, unsold labor

Perched upon burials

Haunted to spirituality

Abandoned

Trees in flower pots

Awaiting to root 

Food in growth

Restoration en route

Mankind Lost

Distances between dimensions 

Wisdom bequested, ancestral generation

Frequent confirmation

Joyous deviation

Creating 

Unification

Alone wisdom cried from the hilltop

Knowledge falling upon deafened ears

People searching for salvation

Global disasters cut remaining trees

But salvation is not near.

Waiting on Jesus to do what we should have done

What we should have done

Long long ago.

She cries, wisdom cries

But no one is listening

Unsheltered disenfranchisement

Ending times roar war cries

Louder than waves of deceit

Trumpets are sounded

Beasts lie in await

The kill is near

Slaughtering cries

Victims shipwrecked

Only strong survive

Yet wisdom cries

She cries knowledge

Upon deafened ears

Upon deaded ears

Mankind lost

The Sisterhood of Kanaka Maoli

Her people were her everything in her world

She was wisdom's voice and mother nature's little girl

A mother and friend to many,  but alone on her path

She took no prisoners, she turned hardship into laughter

Since day one, always losing her life

But an airplant of sorts, she continued to thrive

A sister to many, a lover to few

When times were hard, she knew what to do

Gaslighting effects destroyed her beliefs

So she ran from the liars, the paupers of deceit

She ran until she could no longer stand on her feet

Broken down, she cried in despair

Thank God for one sister who really did care

That sister took care and dressed all her wounds

They played and they laughed from sunrise to high moon

They healed and they grew, oh what a sight

Building lo'i and gardens every day and night

Healing the people, masses at a time

Realizing their dreams, saving every dime

Taking no prisoners but setting them free

For this is the sisterhood of Kanaka Maoli

Write

Write.

When your heart flutters,

Write.

When your tears fall,

Write.

When the world has fallen on you,

Write.

Write as if your life depends on it.

Write as if your soul was speaking.

Write as if it were all that's left,

But write.

Write if you are right

Write if you are wrong

Write about everything

a bird

a tree

a morning song.

Write through the good times,

Write through the bad.

Write in distress, but

Never forget to give thanks when you're glad.
