The Scholar Inside

I missed the opportunity & now the market is saturated

The throne was in sight, supposed to be mine

A crown, The sceptre, My ring & coronation, everything in line

Now beyond the fog distance so vast

An outstretched arm from my futures past

I view others running where I failed to begin

Some are rivals. The others.. kin

Envy approaches

I slam the door shut

It seeps in through the seams

I’m defenceless & at a loss

For words, the tip of my tongue itching to spew

My enmity for the rest, that’s my point of view

But the view is skewed & the point misdirected

I was to blame, myself, I must accept it

I am to blame, failed to resurrect it

I will be blamed if I permit envy to turn my eyes green, numb my senses & remove sweetness from my reality

Instead I’ll find new paths & a different lane

Throw caution to the wind then pilot my own plane

Set eyes on views only I can claim

The peak, mountain top. A mirror, my guide

The answers are within me, the scholar inside

But For Now

[blackquillpoetry]

Reassurance

[blackquillpoetry]

Somethings need not be explained nor understood.. Just simply appreciated

[blackquillpoetry]

Fate? Destiny?

Unparalleled control over ones path

Chose or Chosen

Known or unknown

Specific events bound to take place

Alternative futures dependant on certain conditions

Nothing can prevent the initial

Conditional is the latter; if hard work is applied

A Minimal difference between two colossal principles

The initial is ordained, no power, obstacle or force can prevent such an event that fate has decreed

One does not need to work, neither do they need to realise what is happening

They simply must live through life & blessings will find them wherever they go.

The latter? Sadly not promised, guaranteed nor inevitable

Destiny is the calling on ones life which propels an individual to extraordinary heights

An everlasting legacy which can launch at any period of time

But requires the work ethic & desire of Hercules during his labours

A sad reality is that not all will reach their destiny

Some may not even realise it

But in the midst of this all, the two can coexist

We all look at fate & underestimate

Sold by the tip of the iceberg

Fooled by blades of green grass

When their is a field to be obtained

Fate combined with Destiny?!

The unreachable becomes accessible

A kingdom becomes an empire

A snowflake into an avalanche

Raindrop into the deep blue

& a name that will be immortalised into the fabric of our existence

It was my Destiny to write this piece

It was your Fate to read it.

Honeymoon

A man made concept

A false reality created by the drive to make you mine

The courting process

Presenting a warped version of my capabilities

Impossible to maintain

I’d detest to start a camp fire, have it lose its flame

Then constantly strive to reignite it’s heat

I would rather start a fire & continuously Add supplements to aid it’s growth

From ember

To fire

To furnace

A sun...

Eventually a star that burns blue

A life source & inspiration to other budding flames.

3 Steps

Untitled IV

Why don't you smile

My success to date, is day to day survival

Unrivalled potential my father would say

But stagnancy is all I can show

A dormant river clogged with dirt & deprived of life

Why don't you smile

More ideas than actually success

Motivation at an all time high

But continuous streams of obstacles strategically placed on my path

Not enough to completely derail me

Just enough for me to halt all I am striving to accomplish

Why will you smile

Deep contemplation, heavy in objectivity

Self reflection allowed me to comprehend all that pertains to me

To fully develop a game plan to keep marching

I am at one with my being

Fully intertwined in my existence

With this level of cohesiveness

My river will resurrect

My road completely clear

Till the day I enter a new realm

The battle will commence once more

Untitled III

Where am I now?

Physically I am stagnant

Mentally I am ahead of my time

Spiritually I have regressed

& I burden my soul on a daily basis..

Let the journey to realignment begin.

I'm not one of a kind

I'm the only kind..

Hearted individual that seeks a soul tie

Rather than a euphoric combustion

Drenched in sweat & quick to slumber...

[blackquillpoetry]

Untitled II

The truth is I fell for you

Blind folded, hands tied behind my back

I'll be a man & admit

I was at you complete mercy

To my ears your words was truth itself

& your touch love encapsulated

In a world filled with darkness that it became my cloak

You were the radiant ora that spurred me on.

No word of a lie

I hope the woman I end up with is the one I thought you were to be

No word of a lie

You was perfection in my sight

Contrary to my type

You fulfilled every desire

Because love is the only battle that is to be fought without armour

Otherwise how did I expect cupids arrow to penetrate

[blackquillpoetry]

But I Digress

Once

There was a time where I could spot myself in a crowded room

Now I'm left disputing whether I stare at a mirror

Or a painted image on the wall

I was my own mirage

Trapped in a wilderness

Deceived by my confidence

I'll be the man

I'm the chosen one

If not tamed confidence turns to complacency

Deep starvation to satisfied

A forest blaze to a kitchen stove

Having all the answers is a curse in itself

In a midst of a problem it's settling to not know the full extent of the consequence

A childs mentality

Ignorance is bliss

But when you are cursed to truly understand that every action has a reaction & an aftermath

A miscalculation of effort leads to failure

Then depression & the willingness to go again is absent

But I digress
