when i wake up from an endless dream
it feels as if my life is not needed,
with what happened in that dream
it felt so real and i succeeded,
clearly my reality isn't this,
my mind created a dream to which it was bliss,
and now i am now sad that it has ended,
because it was all make-belief and it was pretended
maybe a world with just you is the only dream I want to live
because life without you isn't worth dreaming

you are in my imagination,
you are a random face without a name,
only in my imagination,
you do not exist, what else is there to say?
I'll probably never meet you,
I saw you for a second,
I have instantly forgotten your face,
and you will remain in that one place,
where I was asleep
and now when I wake up my life is incomplete

i swear no one will have a clue what this poem is about but basically I dreamed about a random guy and I fell in love with him in my dream but in reality I saw that dude for less than one second and the geezer don't even exist so my mind conjured up a false reality. I'm never going to see that perfect man again. can't even remember what he looks like!

why put it in draft?

what makes you put your poems in 'draft'
to stop the exposure of your craft?
it's a nuisance because you think it's daft
but it always holds meaning like witchcraft
it has a purpose, well to you
that's why you wrote it down...to use
to show the world what you can do
it's coming from your point of view

what stops me is that i feel it's incomplete,
is there more to be said in this treat?
you indulge in other people's poems, to eat
and it fulfils your hunger like a juicy piece of meat

but sometimes my poems feel like a snack,
it doesn't really attack and although it's pretty whack,
I do have a knack, however i sometimes lack
what is the life hack to fill my audience back with content
so i put it in draft

thanks to jake mattu, my fellow primary school friend who is attempting to chat me up after 7 years. he is on facetime call to me right now and he actually helped me complete this poem which was just sitting in my drafts. ta jaffa cake x

odd

it is odd
that i have forgot
the previous poems which i have wrote
the frame of mind, my mind was framed
in such a tragic way back then
now it's alright, i seem to think
although i stress, i'm not blessed
but to your interest, i will not rest
in knowing my poems, the truth,
the facts, revealed on a screen
is true
and me
even though
it was like a century
ago
how odd

the meaning of love

love is much more profound then you think it is to be,
love is so much deeper than how it's conceived to be seen,
everyone associates love with relationships
what about the love within your family or even yourself
meditate on the thought of love
think of a central stone, restore your body to peace
if you can't love yourself how can you love someone else
that's wise words, it doesn't only come from me

so what is the definition of love?
love is an intense feeling of deep affection,
love is a great interest and pleasure in something,
love is a ****** love for someone,

with him

whenever i look into his eyes,
i see a glint, a little sparkle there,
his luscious lips are soft to the touch,
plump and brown with a hint of red,
his small cute smile lights up my heart,
he's warm and fuzzy
never do i want to part away from him,
to stay with him,
make love with him,
and be with him

writing a poem about writing a poem

i write something and i stop halfway
it is kinda funny because i lost my way
lost my train of thought, i write something and fray
because sometimes i don't know what to say
i try to continue the rhyme but it doesn't work
do my sentences form any sense because in my brain it does work
but when i re-read and think of everyone else
they'll just have no idea of what i'm actually trying to say
