the night before
Christmas the night
before the first day of
school after a long
summer vacation a strong
anticipation looking
forward to wearing
new clothes and shoes
waking up on the day
of my birthday knowing
there will be cake and
ice cream returning
home excited to see
my siblings mamas
voice yelling out
the screen door come
home for dinner I
can no longer
remember the smell
only describe scent
sight and sound of
a long ago November
lingering in the frosty
crisp air ghostly to think
how long the host
been asleep only
memories and a
aging book with
flimsy pages
how to cook the
past old trditions
lack flavor don't
feed me frozen dessert
and tell me it's ice cream
cake is cake unless
it's dry as desert
sand eat a salad if
the lettuce real
it's wise to try
before you buy give
it a good feel if it
don't last if it lose
its shine better not
pout better not cry
even stars fizzle out

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY The Immortal Wize
Literal Calculations (10232025)you don't have to be a mathematical genius to know when things aren't adding up lately things ain't been adding up certain situations and stories being told about certain situations don't make logical sense especially when there's missing pieces of information no reasonable or likely explanation for the situation there's always air and opportunity for clarification to clear the static it's hard to dispute the truth it's safer to stay out the loop when a strong desire to know could tighten the noose  |

Spin Around (10222025)I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you like my song I wonder if you dance I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you sing along I wonder if you dance I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you like the tone I wonder if I could sit down to write you a poem I wonder if you dance I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you like the sound I wonder what you do if I played the piano and sung you a song I wonder if I could touch you without hands I wonder if you dance I wonder if you feel the vibe I wonder if you dance |
The Idea & The Emotion (10212025)lending a voice to the struggle to create order and meaning out of chaos "a poet gotta write" taking the tiniest partical crafting it into something remarkable "a poet gotta write" like a contender gotta bout like a owl gotta whoo "a poet gotta write" a urgent need not merely an artistic hobby "a poet gotta write" like a sworn oath to observe and reflect the truth of the world "a poet gotta write" connecting the beauty and pain of humanity shaping words to give form to the formless "a poet gotta write" a vessel of expression channeling emotions that need to bleed to expose a need to heal connecting words to create verses and phases "a poet gotta write" to escape and find a way to articulate inner turmoil "a poet gotta write" fanning the flame without expectation of fame "a poet gotta write" transforming pain and sorrow into something tangible to navigate the flow let it resonate "a poet gotta write" giving life to the invisible a profound need to bring life to the unseen... |
Undertone (10192025)I love you but I failed at loving you how you needed me to love you I was willing to learn but you couldn't teach me how to I'm a visual learner you couldn't show me the way to your heart when half of the time you didn't know which way to go you didn't know north from south east from west you couldn't draw me a map I patiently waited for you to decide what you had a taste for you never could decide I always had to be the one to decide for you no matter what I chose on the menu you didn't like I smiled while screaming inside "SHE'S NEVER SATISFIED" for all the years we spent swapping DNA when you bump your noggin I get a headache when I left I said "it's not you it's me" that's not true I was lying through my teeth I would tell you anything to break free besides all the run ins we had a good run we had some good times shared a lot of laughs we had a load of fun even though we had to color the blues to make a difficult situation brighter I gave you a slew of clues you couldn't read th... |
Casting Lots (10192025)you finally reach the stage where you realize everything you thought you knew about the spell caster is a lie you traveled this far to discover everything you ever needed in life was always inside it's the final act in which signifies the conclusion of an event which is your life drawing to a close you open your eyes one more time and see it all clear nothing is what it appears to be you step out to take a bow and wait for a bouquet but the audience has gone to sleep and yet to awake feeling as if you been betrayed by the one who you portrayed believing it's all true is a risk we all take we'll go out the way to get it appraised only to find out its fake false and a waste of faith |
Final Breaking Point (10132025)not everyone has a gun but everyone has a trigger I say this because any day any time any place any where you might come across or cross the line of someone pushed beyond their limit fed up pissed off down to their last straw let's say their fresh out ain't got no mo straws but got a gun and quick to draw and you did or said something to tick 'em off we all have something that we know can easily set us off but we can't expect everyone else to know what that something is this is what makes the world a dangerous place to live in every day you have to figure out different ways to stay alive the objective is to keep moving forward and survive with every stride and not be victimize the pendulum swings both ways side to side our next move could be suicide read the room read the signs these are the times to be extra cautious and very careful not to put our self in a avoidable position for someone else to decide whether we live or die and we must take extra precautionary measures to keep ou... |
First And Foremost (10102025)I can't say you broke my heart it was already broke you gave me false hope I believed in us thought you believed in us too when the covenant broke I found out it wasn't true I never cried so much in my life since the time my heart first broke it had me at the end of my rope couldn't cope acting like I'm on dope everyday I wrote to stay afloat only a poet knows it's better when it flows like tears throughout the years threw out the old me no longer feel like you owe me an explanation for sinking the relation ship and ruining the situation we had I no longer feel bad I'm good better than you thought I would ever be I was foolish to think you would never leave me high and dry without supplies left for dead still survived only God knows how I rise too resilient to feel the pain but still sometimes I feel the strain it feels strange but not too intense to complain |
Too Close To The Sun (10102025)awhile back people were going on about the rapture I don't know what gave them the idea it was going to happen then I'm wise enough to say I don't know what's going on but what if it did happen like a dream that we completely forgotten upon waking maybe it already or did happen and what we're experiencing is symptoms of being left behind and those who thought they were going to be invited up to have hot tea and toasty crumpets in the sky were simply delusional at the time |
