Converge and Other Poems

By Alex Andy Phuong

Converge

Resist the urge
 To inflict harm
 Yet do not conform
 Either
 Simply merge
 And unite
 For we are all
 In this together

Take the Break

When there are times
 Where one must cope
 No need to struggle
 Overpower and overcome
 For being free
 Involves
 Breaking free
 From negativity
 And being at peace
 To bring about peace

Adult

He is working hard
 Instead of hardly working
 That makes him a man

Anew

Renew
 And begin
 A new life
 Free from strife
 Despite the inevitability
 Of challenges and
 The normally natural ending
 Each day offers hope
 As the sun rises at daybreak
 So the ones willing
 To seize the day
 Could make the most
 Of daylight
 For even as night
 Descends
 Light and life
 Can still shine bright
 So all that lives
 Can reimagine
 Reality
 Especially beyond
 Post-modernity

Beyond the Veil

What will it take for
 People to see past the veil
 Behind fantasy

Fashionable

Out of fashion
 Sometimes lacking passion
 Live with vivacity
 And cope with reality
 By dressing
 And addressing
 Life itself

Solution

Solve through a solution
 Revolutionize reality
 By understanding that
 The world does not revolve
 Around a specific individual
 Yet the orbit
 Can revolve more smoothly
 Starting by simply
 Accepting reality

Comely

pleasurably conforming
 To notions of
 good appearance,
 suitability,
 proportion
 having a pleasing appearance
 Rather than
 Homely
 or plain
 Avoiding decadence
 And choosing humbleness
 Believe in earthly humility

Aria

Accompanied song
 Solo voice
 Verbalizing
 Vocalizing
 Angelic singing
 And letting water flow
 To cleanse
 As an opera
 Becomes increasingly
 Operatic
 While music flows
 In musical waves
 As the aria
 Fills the air
 With symphonically symphonic
 sounds

Dreaming of Pemberley

Richly artistic estate
 Reminding lovers to
 Appreciate
 Truly romantic passion
 Spread love, not hate
 And never underestimate
 The power of first impressions
 For they are not always correct
 And genteel gentlemen
 Could learn to mature
 While hearts stay pure
 So that true love could endure
