If you're willing to question the wilt of the rose, then you never deserved to have had it at it's bloom.
Sun addled brain seems aloft
Is it red,green or yellow?
Like a clown and his perks
Bright technicolour with a grin so wide
It flips, it spins, no sign of despair


A coat of many colours
Any dream will do
Toss a coin to find a clue
A kiss under the mistletoe
Drop a tear in the ocean
Maybe a bounty on the shooting star
The finders keepers
Loosers weepers

Patchwork of life, that holds today or tomorrow
If it fits,it ships
A one of a kind and the ony one too
A coat of many colours
Any dream will do

Soon you will realize that the inner critic grew a large tall trunk with thorny branches. Entangled your inners and is now playing monsters in your head. Casting its shadows of doubt, despair and hoplessness.

Thus be wary of the inner critic, and tread carefully in its waters. For what may seem innocuous can turn detrimental.  Shattering dreams and ambitions, leaving you in a never ending quagmire.
Tame the tongue of your inner critic before it eats you alive like poison

Their hearts begged the heavens for them to meet. But not a single hello came from him or her when they  finally met. Just Silence, shattering hopes of a besought desire fulfilled .

The ocean gives you love, peace and freedom all at once.

What an old soul you are,
Donned in leather that strikes tales of time
Cool tie and rocky shoes,
Leaves the girls smitten, caught in your gleam.
A presence that that feels like a rhyme
Is it your poise or charisma that draws them near? I ponder

Your mad hatter jokes weave laughter like art,
To what do I owe this delightful cheer?
A dance with you was never my intent.
With a glass down, I fix my flair,
Ready to strut to your grooves embrace,
“Shall we?” you say, each pun in sync,
A wink and a smile, together with a tip on the hat.

“Be mine for the night,” you say it with a smize
“If and only if we dance till the dawn breaks!” I reply
Laughter ensues and you pull me in,
Cheek to cheek, in this moment, we’re drawn.

Must be the wine, or is it the gentlemans pride, I ponder. You pull me in more and set loose for a little twirl.  We glide across the floor
Transforming the night.

The music spins and thrills. Slow and steady, we move on the edge
Glowing under the disco’s ball , letting the shadows sway
You pause and time stands still 
A grip on the guitar
with every strum you play.
A melody adored, an echo of the past,
In your music, it binds
Time gently unwinds
In the rhythm of your grace

The mind, a labyrinth of mystery,
A riddle for the essence of being.
Thoughts cascade, a torrent of wonder,
Ideas intertwine, forging new paths.

Guard it from  the sway of opinion,
Embrace the awe in every potential.
Never underestimate its vast greatness;
In the depths of your mind, let brilliance awaken.
Explore the corners of what’s yet to be.
Unravel the stories that linger like ghosts,
Unearth hidden treasures, the things you love most.
Unleash your greatness
Take it upon yourself to shut down any negativity flowing your way. And greatly do so by affirming joys as loud and clear as possible and watch your life flourish.
