Gray skies greet me
Quiet streets almost empty
People sitting at cafes huddled together because of the coolness

Cool Sunday morning
Last day of the weekend
People enjoying the moment before the start of another week

Cool Sunday morning
 Nov 2024 BipolarBear

Your cruel words are cursory
Mean less than null to me

Don’t need a PhD
Learnt more in nursery

Sweet song of ‘helping me’
No more than sophistry

Pick out the forgery
Lies with no artistry

Flowing in, eyeless grin
Sugary medicine

Gaslighting, infighting
Snarl under strobe-lighting

Saccharine blathering
Indolent flattering

Backhanded compliments
Heard without inner sense

I reject totally
Self-slighting sorcery

Callous affrontery
Bankrupting bursary

I have observed more
Preserved more

Have learned more
Deserve more

Have value
Don't argue

Can trust me
I must be

Enough being
just, me

So hear me,
my dear me,
coz now we agree

I am worthy

BLT Webster’s Word of the Day challenge (cursory) date 3rd November 2024. Done or made quickly.
I dont need any praise from you,
we are stuck together like glue to a shoe.
If still it is not clear to you,
I bequest a piece my poetry to you.

You say I'm headstrong,
you say I am naive.
You say I annoy you,
and then you say I make u smile.

U have an ego like Barrymore Drew,
I am tired of telling what I feel and knew.
And if you still dont know what to say and do,
Just know that I never felt it, till I met you.

Reality is a staircase leading nowhere,
believe me, I am not trying to be Shakespeare
I wanna go to the moon and see everything that's there,
And you are there with me, is all that I care.

Some will say i am confused,
you might say- 'I am insane'.
I'd say this is the choice I am making,
And never able to establish a blame.

The heart wants what it wants,
the mind sometimes may not matter.
Love sought is good,
but given unsought is even better.
When I miss you, I write,
I don't know what else to do.
This point may now seem obvious and trite,
Strange, how my life has begun anew.

Strange, how my life has begun anew,
but there is clearly something wrong with you.
I dunno what will it take for you to respond,
Mate, we are wasting some precious seconds.

Mate, we are clearly running out of time,
I wanna be yours and make you mine.
So, come with me in this evening divine,
Lets leave our footprints in the sands of time..
It's simple but not easy,
I am romantic but not crazy.
I wish I had been a little choosy,
Then my life would have been nothing but rosy.
You must be thinking why am I sounding breezy,
Saying such lines which are cheesy,
And disturbing you when you are so busy.
You want to get some sleep and you're already dizzy.
To you, it might seem a little hazy,
But you don't want to come out as nosey,
And you want us to remain cozy,
One wrong move can be lousy.
So, you smile and say, "she's simple but it's not going to be easy!!!"
My life ***** because
I fall asleep with great difficulty and
I fall in love easily..

I think my life would be better if
I fell asleep easily and
not fall in love so soon..

Then I ask you, “I feel I have fallen in love and I’m falling asleep easily; this’ good, isn’t it?” You look at me with a smile and you say, “no, it is because you’ve fallen sick and taking those pills...”

I really need to sleep :)
Sleep eludes me, evades me, escapes my eye
I can’t fall asleep, however hard I may try
I feel so helpless, I can almost cry
There’s nothing more miserable than the feeling that you’re alive when you so badly want to die...
