My Brother's Keeper
Am I my brother’s keeper? Well…in a way I keep your secrets in a chamber of my heart I keep your confidences hidden behind the lids of my eyes I keep your skeletons locked in the cupboard of my mind I keep your insecurities safe in a bag of many tears you’ve cried I keep your hopes in a jar with...

Anaconda's Aerial Ambition Abridged
An anaconda, Arthur, so wide, Tried to join a tightrope, and sighed. He wobbled and swayed, Then simply just stayed, "That's not balance," he hissed, "I've been lied!" ©bfa032225 ...

Greatness? No, Thanks
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." — Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V Some are born to crowns and gold, With power strong and wealth untold. Some will climb, with sweat and pain, To carve their names and stake their claim. And then there’s me—a simple bloke, Who’d rather nap than wear a cloak. Greatness...

The Weight of Heights
They called him a child of the sky, a storm-born spark, a rising sun His steps were light, his hands were quick, he climbed before he learned to run The world below had sung his name, its voices laced with awe and might You’ll reach the peak they whispered low, where all the stars align in light He climbed through fire, through fractured...

In Another Life
In another life, I was a poet just as I am now. I have no idea when I started writing or how. The ambition to motivate has always been with me. I never hesitate to motivate and lift humanity to a higher degree ...

Insanity
Morning glory, The mountains stand in brown nudity, There's no shame in being mighty echoes the wind, The air is taut with the brooding silence of a storm, It will rain tears sooner or later, And the roar of affliction will cut through the silence, The rage of war will be a din, Churning cataracts of unceasing wants, Our hunger refuses to be...

Ambition
Greedy for affection Such is a sin Keep still Stay satisfied With remnants of love A heart that yearns Seldom leads to rejoice Stay put Keep complacent Contentment is no affliction Know that your desires shall never come to fruition...

Premium Member Victory Is Overrated
They call it a race, but it feels more like a circus— tightropes stretched over flames, clowns tripping over their own pride, while I, in my worn sneakers, stroll past their delicate egos. Let them shout. Their speed is a gunshot— all noise, no aim. I’ve got the calm of a bassline, the steady rhythm of knowing that slow doesn’t mean weak. Victory? It’s a cheap bottle...

The Burden of Dreams
A man with dreams, so bright and grand, Sought capital from a bank's cold hand. He borrowed much, with hope so high, Bet his house, beneath the sky. The bank’s burden, a weight unseen, He turned to cheer in a bar’s dim sheen. With borrowed funds, he drank his fill, A fleeting joy, but fate’s cruel thrill. A girl beside, with eyes that...

Premium Member Ambition - in Kamalas own words
What if I can see it, smell it, almost touch it, That gilded throne where I will proudly sit, Would people think me mad, Is my ambition so preposterous and bad. And why not me, have I not earned this crown, Someone not worthy of that queenly gown, Bejeweled and composed for all to see, My vassals all around, bowing deep to...

The Mask of Ambition
Seeking to heighten Your small frame, On tiptoe, yet you Already mock your aim. For cheating's fleeting gains Shall swiftly fade, And leave you poorer Than when you first did trade. It's not the feathers That give birds their flight, But wings of strength, That lift them to the light. Hard work and patience, These are virtues true, That shall reward you, With a success anew. ...

Ambition
You walked into my life and turn it upside down, you were certain that I could wear the golden crown, you have been following me from I was a child and you made several stories, books and movie but until this day, I have not seen a dime for all the useless sacrifice. The people...

Acme
Upon the mountaintop where eagles soar, Above the clouds, where dreams take flight so high, A world of endless blue and golden lore, Where sunlit peaks embrace the open sky. Here, courage blooms in hearts that dare to climb, Each step a testament to strength and will, Where stars align to mark the passage time, And hopes ascend, with destiny to fill. In...
