DESCRIPTIVE POETRY
No Artist, No Poet
no Artist, no Poet
Vickie M. Ortiz Vazquez
I am not an artist
So, I doodle
Play with shapes, colors
Juxtapose
Yet, I am no artist
Inscriptive, descriptive visual symbols come about
Recognizable shapes, not what it seems
Misunderstood at first glace
Driven by a part of me you do not know
I am not an artist
So, I doodle
Play with shapes, colors
Juxtapose
Yet, I am no artist
Lines meet to reveal a thought
Experience
Fuel by what has been heard
Watched
Felt
Syllables merge to form words, sentences
Beliefs
I am not an artist neither a poet
So, I write
Use words to paint my thoughts
Yet, I am no artist nor poet
Black book to grey notebook
Symbols meet; apart by soft-hard covers
Thoughts described
Driven by the woman, teenager
Childhood memories
Stitch by a common thread
Me, myself and I
I am not an artist
So, I doodle
I am not an artist neither a poet
So, I write
Yet, I am no artist nor poet
I am lifes fool
Touch by moments of inspiration
I am natures creation
Design to loose and gain
I am societys product
Branded by many labels
Constricted, tormented by my brothers and sisters
I am not an artist
So, I doodle
Play with shapes, colors
Juxtapose
Yet, I am no artist
I am not an artist neither a poet
So, I write
Use words to paint my thoughts
Yet, I am no artist nor poet
Work in progress
Lifes path
Unfinished piece, lifetime work
Brush strokes, wide-simple yet complicated
Narrow path full of passion
Torture
Bristled brushes with primary colors
Endless possibilities
Motifs floating about
I am not an artist
So, I doodle
Play with shapes, colors
Juxtapose
Yet, I am no artist
Expressive words delineate motifs
Continuous mark with an end
To express what cannot be said
Mumble within me without escape
I am not an artist neither a poet
So, I write
Use words to paint my thoughts
Yet, I am no artist nor poet
I am lifes fool
Touch by moments of inspiration
I am natures creation
Design to loose and gain
I am lifes fool
Touch by moments of inspiration
The Poem
Stars blaze the night
While a pen of tears
Smears words across,
A white sheet of fears
Letting out your soul
To breathe a verse
Something you seek
No need to rehearse
A powerful statement
The thoughts from within
A time taking pain
Once you finally begin
A constant word play
Descriptive and woven
The purest of feelings
Are the ones youve chosen
To write and recite
Put down in words
Because balls of paper
Will never be heard.
LYRIC POETRY
The word LOVE
The word love
what a powerful word that binds the world together
what a strong word that cause the world to gather
oh what a word that multiplies the earth and fulfill the purpose of
man creation
the word love
what a great world that caused God the Greatest gift to the world
what a word that brings peace to the world despite our diversity
love the greatest weapon on the surface of the earth
A word that is greater than hate despite its equal letters in spelling
love a Name that God himself answers
oh the word love
A Journey of the Mind
A Journey of the Mind
I'm a little closer to heaven up here in the hills
Far away from the big smoke and all the city frills
Winding up the Alpine Way, whether day of night
Is such a blissful thing to do, as if a bird in flight
This one of seven summits was a monumental find
To be content to live here is a journey of the mind
START
A Journey of the Mind
Some folk make this journey early in their life
They have no need for clutter and endless years of strife
Wisdom, peace and contentment are worth living for
Instead of the current trend to long for more and more
This one of seven summits was a monumental find
To be content to live here is a journey of the mind
The trees and rocks are spirits of passed Aborigines
Who lived and roamed in the mountains, and danced Corroborees
Kosciuszko's face has softened over the centuries
While twisted tortured snow gums dread the next years freeze
This one of seven summits was a monumental find
To be content to live here is a journey of the mind.
DRAMATIC POETRY
About that Child
A heard a little girl,
Crying out "Please stop this world from trying! to hurt my very
soul!"
I asked myself how?
She knew the very second,
Just how far she'd come,
To living in a dream,
To sitting in the sun,
I asked her hey darling,
I heard your pain was real?
She said she wasn't lonely, that he only wants to feel,
You see my favored crowd,
I tell you all this so,
This gentle little girl,
Can continue to live and grow,
Away from all the pain,
Of demonstrated strain,
On lives so new and fresh,
There cannot be a name,
So please don't hurt my children,
Calls God from above,
They are the ones,
Who make my life fulfilled
True Friends
As I think of our friendship, I begin to see
Mere words can't describe what you mean to me.
When this cold, hard world has me lonesome and blue
I look up to see my angel, my sweet angel, you.
You dry the tears that fall from my eyes.
You bring me sunshine to brighten my sky.
You rescue me when I'm scared and alone
And take my hand to lead me home.
No matter the miles that keep us apart
We're always together in each other's hearts
Sometimes we take for granted, I fear,
The ones who are so close and dear.
We get so caught up in life and things we must do
Sometimes we forget to stop and say I love you.
If ever you felt I forgot or didn't care
Let me stop right now, my true feelings I'll share.
You're the sun in my sky, the bed where I lie.
You're the home where I'm safe, the field where I play.
You're everything I am, everything I do
NARRATIVE
POETRY
ONLY A CHILD CAN SEE
Watch your back and turn on the light
Cracked doll face wont let you out of sight
Babys nightmare third party at night
Joining your lullaby holding baby so tight
Cries so loud at the ceiling she stares
Strange clatter I too can clearly hear
No one is there; just me and my sugar
I peeked but no one is on the gable
I can hear my heartbeat as I walk
Towards the baby Gods help I ask
Stop! Someone toddles at my back
Baby howled as she slowly turns black
I give Thanks
I give thanks
for a Dementia patient growing more loving in latter years, my
mother
for a Dad who has diabetes, high-blood pressure, overweight, and
should have been in the grave 20 years earlier like father and
brother
I give thanks
for a wife with lymphoma who has shown her faith and love of God
for a son who traveled the world and used nursing skills for others
for a daughter with challenges growing up, after college had four
job offers
I give thanks
For churches that I have attended that have helped mature me
For good jobs to help take care of my family and those in need
For a great education from a Community College and University
For iron sharpening friends and mentors in to my life they gave
For my Lord Jesus Christ who first loved and got me saved
I give thanks
Win The Fight
Hey, I've been walking 'round the city all day
Just to find you walking away, right out from my arms
And you, you always wanna do what you do
And I have to find out the truth
From others who are in love with you(Oh)
But I, I don't think I'll go on
I, but I know I'm gonna have to try
Lord, give me a reason why
Gonna know what to do
Gonna find out the truth
Gonna see the reason why
Gonna go with the flow
Ain't gonna lose control
'Cause I know I'm gonna win the fight
Screaming yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
But I, I don't think I'll go on
I, but I know I'm gonna have to try
Lord, give me a reason why
Gonna know what to do
Gonna find out the truth
Gonna see the reason why
Gonna go with the flow
Ain't gonna lose control
'Cause I know I'm gonna win the fight
Screaming yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
RAP:
Yo're the answer to the question the life may bring
And if I still have chance I wanna give you a ring
And I remember when you sing me to sleep the pain is deep, cause you are
the only girl that I would love to keep
And I, I regret every night you cry
And the truth deep down I cry
And I want you back in my life
Gonna know what to do
Gonna find out the truth
Gonna see the reason why
Gonna go with the flow
Ain't gonna lose control
'Cause I know I'm gonna win the fight
Screaming yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah
RAP:
Malimit sa oras na naghihintay
Sa dala katiyakan na siya ay magre-reply
Sa mga text, ano ba 'yan, isip ko'y nawiwindang
'Di ko 'to gets, pa'no na 'yan, ngayon ito dumidighay
Kasi uhaw na uhaw na uhaw na ako sa pagkasabik ko sa'yo
Tapos ibinabaling na lang ang mata sa iba
At sa akin ay pusong bato
Sumama aking loob
At nag-iba aking kutob
Na wala na ba ang pag-ibig na siyang sa akin ang tuhog
But I, I don't think I'll go on
I, but I know I'm gonna have to try
Lord, give me a reason why
Gonna know what to do
Gonna find out the truth
Gonna see the reason why
Gonna go with the flow
Ain't gonna lose control
'Cause I know I'm gonna win the fight
Screaming yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh yeah (2X)
