The second poem below is called “I take it upon myself…” I literally wrote this poem less than two hours ago. When I get an idea for a poem or a song, I quickly have to write it down before I forget it. Usually, I’ll carry that idea for a couple of days until I can fully commit to try and finishing it. But for moments like today where I can actually keep on going and the words are just coming together, I take full advantage and finish it. And that’s just what I did. I hope you enjoy!
Visionary Bliss
By Jessenia Lua
I move my eyes to where the pigments meet
Defined by their natural beauty
Colliding together for your pleasure
His pleasure, her pleasure, their pleasure
Yet not appreciated what it does for everyone
Granted nature and euphoric joy
Blessed bliss with beautified coy
Derived from the spectrum of identifiable splendor
Creating orgasmic vibrations of visionary imperfections
Three dimensional worlds combining your substance
His substance, her substance, their substance
Effervescent grace among warm invitings
Reprimanded gestures of uncanny truths
Denying what should be to discovering youths
Layers of pastels and pedals crossing paths
The mist of rain falling on the covers of the body
Watery eyes among the question for your answer
His answer, her answer, their answer
Truth be told to everyone and to the oblivious soul
It’s a lie when I cry and look for your shoulder
Is my beauty truly in the eye of the beholder?
I take it upon myself…
By Jessenia Lua
I take it upon myself
To look beyond the social façade
To bypass the propaganda
And to live from my own agenda
I take it upon myself
To have self worth and imaginations
To steer free of complications
And reach final destinations
I take it upon myself
To believe in the power of me
To uncoil my insanity
And walk with dignity
I take it upon myself
To clear ambiguous eyes
To change cluttered minds
And reveal my true insides
I take it upon myself…
To believe in all His glory
To evade purgatory
And tell this side of the story
But most of all…
I take it upon myself…
I take it upon myself
To love whole-heartedly
To leave my legacy
And be known for curiosity
I've taken it upon myself
