That's the Venice door showered with beauty!
Where loneliness is daily on duty,
By its side, a small pool just sailed two boats,
The occupants are most probably ghosts,
If they're humans, they must be real cuties.

First I saw of this was in Djibouti,
But that was left decrepit and sooty,
So, for elegance that beauty denotes;
That's the Venice door!

The decorations are made quite pretty,
It's like from a last century movie,
Flowers even near the pool that boat floats,
It's the clean surrounding that makes wealth gloats,
Stamps of opulence colors it pretty,
That's the Venice door!

My dinner

My dinner is often late now,
That's totally against my wish,
It is what I'll never allow,
I have to skip this late night dish,

That's totally against my wish,
I just want to reduce my fat,
I need to make my tummy flat.

It is what I'll never allow,
It's better I sleep with hunger,
I want to start looking younger.

I have to skip this late night dish,
So that I can be more healthy,
With power to be more wealthy.

So, I'm now fine

So, I'm now fine with misty eyes,
Right from my slumber, my heart cries,
With my weary face full of fears,
I still played guitar to my dears,
their smiles made me sigh in disguise.

My moans cajole grief to revise,
Etching joy to place me on highs;
oils of lilacs restored my cheers,
So, I'm now fine.

My newfound joy is a surprise,
Just last night, it waved me goodbyes,
Leaving me with eyes full of tears,
That couldn't be dried by all my peers;
meaning if I fall, I can rise.
So, I'm now fine.

Showboating a dreamboat

In your life, goodness has its best role,
You made being great looks very cool,
Your success is cherished even by fools,
Your kindness is used as an effective tool.
.
You are more pleasant than being a dreamboat,
Your smartness is deeper than a sugarcoat,
Your goodness flows from coast to coast,
In the ocean of wisdom, your intelligence floats.

Your affectionate smile soothes many hearts,
Your compassion is beyond the fill of carts,
Your comeliness is yet to have copycats,
Your goodness is available at the drop of a hat.

May the blessings of God ever be in your life,
May you eat the fruits of your labour when they are ripe,
May all the efforts of your haters do a swan dive,
May your life be full of melodies as played on bagpipes.

A saint without a taint

She remains a chaste,
Face, with a beauty paste,
Yet love, she begs to taste,
To satiate an amorous thirst,
Old age knocks in haste,
She fears a love heist.

All she got is hate,
For love, she waits,
Her eyes have baits,
Her lips have gates,
That close late,
Yet no mates.

She looks a saint,
Though with taints:
Her neck has dents;
Seen through a vent,
In her heart, a pain,
She'll always feign.

She's just hell-bent,
It's true love she meant,
Her beauty needs no paint,
Even if only available for rent,
Let real love be in her tent,
But love whisper is faint.

Tortured

My heart bleeds,
No blood seen,
Everyone flees,
Except a teen.

She said no!
Pain is inside,
Nobody knows,
Where it resides.

My tear drops,
She minds not,
Again love flops,
Am I going nuts?

She pitied me,
Still without love,
Her heart is mean,
The shame is 'nough!

She turned away,
That pained more,
So, still not swayed,
My heart mourns.

Her silhouette fades,
She isn't coming back,
Left in the shade,
Alone in the dark.

Only voices of birds,
On the trees,
People already on bed,
Alone with the breeze!

Then a noise nearby,
She finally appears,
Maybe to wave a bye,
To a brief affair.

She came very close,
My legs tremble,
I felt her nose,
My lips crumble!

Her kiss was brief,
Then I woke up,
The dream is a grief,
My tears filled a cup.

Your footprints in my mouth

Your beauty is still as fresh as dew even as middle age tilts,
It's now obvious that you and happiness can never split,
The lamp of kindness, you lighten up lives with, is well lit,
It is in your life that God's favours have the best fits.

Prosperity comes into your life to dance to the best beats,
You hosted success and made it to sit on its most preferred seat,
Your cool mien remains unwavering even under the worst heat,
The air of freshness that comes out of you is always very neat.

Your blessings are well-acknowledged even when it is a fact that you don't cheat,
Your enemies run in trepidation because you give no room for their friendly *****,
That's because God has taught you how best to remove the weeds strangling your wheat,
Your smiles send joy to whoever your soul is pleased with.

Love fills your heart chambers and affection is what comes out of it,
Wherever you graced your wisdom becomes an instant hit,
Because in all situations your intelligence is used to the hilt,
Since your greatness still talks even when you give noone a minute hint.

God's favours now finds comfort in your home on a chair made out of wood of beeches,
Blessings in your life are now as plenty as the sands of the beaches,
Success paddles its boat into your home filling it with the scents of the freshness built into it from planks of a teak.
Your enemies just watch jaw-dropping as the goodness of the Lord keeps increasing in your life as the clocks tick.
