Love is: you're given something and you are tempted to finish it, but you remember you want to share it with someone at home. So you control your appetite until you get home.

What is love to you?
Love is a feeling and a decision to do right by your partner. However, love is heavy on the decision part because feelings are frickle and mostly dependent on how you are treated or feel at certain points. Unconditional love is a mirage. Only 2% or less will experience this. What the rest will experience is either close enough to love or not love. For those who experience "close enough to love", have to keep the engine of love greased by their constant efforts. Else it will rot like a dead plant.

Brutal reality of love (lol)
From strangers to strangers, Again I mourn the death of a beautiful beginning and a chaotic progression.

Strangers to Strangers
I'm afraid of what I have become Perhaps, you will make me remember I used to be capable of loving, Perhaps I will make you regret loving me. I don't know, can't make promises. I'm still a mess. Stick by me at your own risk.

At your own risk
When I remember all the people I knew that passed away. I keep wondering; Were their spirits standing next to their bodies watching all the wailing and weeping ? Were they saying. "hey stop crying I can see you!. ..Can't you see me?. I'm here ...I've not left" Were they tired of not being heard, couldn't stand the tears then started off a lonely walk into eternity? or maybe they were escorted by a host of angels ? These answers I do not know.... What I know for sure is.. no matter how frequent death visits, it sure hurts afresh like hell!

Death
Perfection is a mirage and even in me cannot be found Beneath these flaws and differences Are the sounds of hearty laughters And the memories of rapt listening with untainted smiles. What more can a friend cherish and desire? I still find a friend in you.

So I still find a friend in you ♥️♥️♥️
I wanted to try again with the dying ember for a countless time but there was nothing worth going back to, The smoke ebbed and died. Now I know I would never try again

Honey, don't you think it's time you stop hurting yourself?

Untitled
Your journey has been a one of struggles all through A fierce contention between life and death But you strived and survived all these years What happened now that all of a sudden The young seedling have been deprived of light, Shut out completely when its first bud broke free? My heart is torn; I’ve brought flowers, you can’t feel I’m painfully penning down words, you can’t read I wish your heart would beat again And your beautiful eyes will open just one more time So we could have 5 minutes together Reminiscing on good old days. Busyness and distance made our hearts grow apart Forgetting that someday we all will end where we started from Total nakedness, holding nothing from where we came Surrounded by human beings And not life’s fleeting things Yet, I am comforted knowing There is a place for angels in human flesh A place of surpassing peace A place I’m sure you will never miss You treaded this coarse earth with blistered feet But there in your true home, you will walk on golden streets Though your body was consumed by sickness and disease In your glorified apparel it will find release There were times you wondered “why is my course in life like this? ” Honey don’t worry you are on your way to a place where all your tears will cease; And to your troubling questions, you will be given the long- awaiting keys.

WHAT DOES IT MATTER NOW?
I'm done dancing to the tune of others' music. Now is the breaking of a new dawn to turning on the stereo in my heart and keep dancing like no one's watching!!!
