My Poems

Intelligence

Is intelligence only learned in the classroom?
When did be regurgitating lab hamsters having to memorize these so called facts
Make us smart
Why is it that they make the teachers
Teach only one way
When in essence
Human beings learn in many ways
Not just this mundane way of
Someone in front of you
Lecturing you
Force feeding
Information that you can't question
Because they say it has no flaws
But this education system is so flawed
Because it's designed to make us
Only so smart to work
But not smart enough to
Question by being a critical thinker
Being scared of making mistakes
And being wrong
Yet how will we ever learn
How will we expand our minds
If we don't question
If we don't research
If we don't learn through our life experience
Intelligence is earned beyond the classroom
We can be book smart
Street smart
Lab smart
Smart in any way because
We all have minds

Samoa

The pearl of the pacific
Small in land mass
But huge in strength
Love
Culture
Influence
With the blood of the warriors
Flowing
Deeply
Through
The 
Veins
And the vast waters
Surrounding it
Hospitality
With
Smiles
And 
Comfort
The 
Spirit
Of
Our
Ancestors
Who Fought For
Independence
To Be Our
Own Nation
Tiny on the map
But powerful 
Because
Of 
Our Faith
In the 
Heavenly Father
We are more
Than just big
People
Who
Entertain
Or play
Sports
We are 
Proud
Humble
Family Oriented
Laid Back
Passionate
Handsome
Elegant
We
Are
People
Who 
Navigated The Pacific
Oceans with ease
But never accounted for
In the History Books
Yet
We
Are
Here
And
We
Will
Be
Here
Because
We
Are

The Love of My Life

The Love of My Life
You're the pearl of my heart
The apple tree that grows from the sand
The rose that rises from the mud
Your essence is extraordinary
Like snowfall in the desert
Your touch is as calm as the ocean but as cool as the gentle breeze
You can also be as fierce as wildfire but beautiful as a butterfly
You are more than just pleasing to my eyes
You enter my soul as your heal my heart like natural herbs
I love you more than words
As you hold my hand, I will hold yours
As we look into each other's eyes
Our soul's will be filled with the passion and love for each other
Close knit, united and embraced
We together as one from God
Making you my future wife
The Love of My Life​
