PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I want to realize myself,

I want to actualize myself,

I want to maximize myself,

Reaching my potentialities.



My soul yearns for mastery

To be what I want to be,

To achieve my goal in life,

And reach the top of my destiny.



Great searching in my soul,

My spirit panting and searching,

Searching for the ladder,

The steps of self-actualization,

The crescendo of greatness,

The zenith of mastery,



Yes, to the top I come,

Far above mediocrity,

Beyond the reach of  failure,

The dream of the brave,

The goal of the wise,

Set in the above,

Fixed in the below

That’s where I want to be.



Great searching in my soul,

For peace and tranquility,

The serendipity of paradise,

The galaxy of milk and honey,

Where the soul is settle.



I once tried the ladder of wealth,

And the scaffold of opulence,

Sweet at the beginning,

Until the ladder cracked,

The got pains, fear and insecurity,

My soul been tormented.



Also tried the ladder of drugs,

Making marijuana my shepherd,

Which made me lie down in brown weeds,

It started TO destroy my soul,

Then I realized the realization I sought,

Isn’t in pot or coke.



Then I tried the ladder of sex,

Giving and taking pleasure,

Satisfied in the euphoria of orgasm,

Sucking and been sucked,

Feeling and been felt,

Doing and been done,

Riding in the wings of sensuality,

Flying to the utopia of actualization,

But that was 10 million miles away from Graceland.



What is the ladder, if not sex?

What is the scaffold, if not drug, money or power?

What is the ladder, tell me if you know.

The way to the mastery of life,

The path to self-realization,

The gate to life actualization,

The place of Nirvana



I may no know it all,

But all I’ve tried led to fiasco,

Then, one thing is left,

One path to be tried,

One region yet uncharted,

The way of the cross,

The path of the Absolute Reality,

The gate of the Ultimate,

The Paradise of Eden,

Where the soul finds true rest.
