A poetic post

Thanks for checkin' out Bsombin'!! I'm still working on my book of poems. I'm almost done writing & have started working on creating & sorting all the images that will be used for the book. The finished book will have images to go with each poem, in order to touch my readers a little deeper. I am very passionate about this project & want it to impact people with as much emotion as I am putting into it, so I decided to add my visual art to the book to help pull the reader further into my world. The end result, for the reader, should be a walk through their emotional gambit. A journey through self lead by my words & visions. Here is one of my most recent poems written for the book. I hope you enjoy it!! Please check back soon for more bsombin'!

"The Napalm Sea"

As it looked out on the 

Horizon...

God seized the meek,

While it was at ease, &

Hurled it into the

Violent seas

Under waves that

Swelled & crashed,

It's whole was stripped,

Drowned, & Smashed

Then, by currents

Swift & strong,

Pulled to depths

Where none belong,

...Can not breath & 

Light is gone,

There's nothing's right,

In this abyss of wrong,

Yet, still not stuck,

It's dragged along,

Finding solace 

In an angel's song,

Faith not spent,

Though the struggle's long...

Just then the seas turned

To napalm...

Somehow, though,

It retains aplomb,

&, in the fire, 

It finds a calm,

An explosion within,

Transformation bomb,

Brings forth a Phoenix

Chanting psalms...

Now the Phoenix

Can swim free...

Free from drowning

In a sea of misery!

Free to fly

To it's destiny!

Free to become

What it was meant to be!

...It had to drown, &

Go through the fire,

To be purified of 

Weakness & dark desires!

It had to be stripped,

& smashed, too,

In order to be rebuilt, &

Made better, as new!

Now, soaring,

With upward aim,

It just has to 

Adapt to the burn of flames,

...Though, as time passed,

The burn did too,

&, through it's trials,

Strong & wise, the meek grew!

Keep in mind what it went through,

& never give up,

Regardless of what kind of seas you're tossed into!
