sometimes
dreams do come true
while
the
heart is pure
from
the
shining night before
only
when
i
am thinking of you
and
i am still sure
love begins with a kiss
though
you said that you loved me
darling
i
am still in love with you

I’m sorry to see
you’re falling apart
It could be different you know
We could strive to make things better
  Reimagine our roles…
These dreams manifest themselves
in clusters of agreements
Sort them out and sigh…
Accept the moment
and in the light you’ll receive it
Catch ahold and fly!

Nothing occupies the small tool
than constant vigil of a bigger tool
its a reflected glory kinda thing
though some might say
its crippling envy
while others say No!
we all know small tools
are not usually the sharpest tools in the box
the smart ones are kept in proper kits
and used delicately
and they do not begrude the larger tools

When you get the measure of the Piped Piper
he tell you he is a kindergarten helper
but even more of a joke is he expects you to buy that
some people have the subtlety of a sledge hammer

If you know the gate is locked securely
why are you employing a million locksmiths
and seven guard dogs
and ten watch men
to guard a toilet
are the bowl and basin
gold and encrusted with diamonds
methinks some have taken leave of their senses

Even the biggest fool
would have cottoned on years ago
that its design to create emotional destabilisation
which in turn could exacerbate stress and fuel depression
creating a feeling of constant irritability and anxiety
all one should state at this junction
with sublime grace and aplomb
and the usual wisecrack....cheeky
'Man, its great to be underestimated'
As they say in the Army
No battle plan ever survived first contact with the enemy
A perfect tactical plan is like a unicorn, because anyone can tell you what it looks like, but no one has actually ever seen one.......

i spend my days
pouring myself into the cups of others

only to find that
when it’s time for myself
to take a sip

all that’s left
in my cup
is the remainder of a girl
who gave too much
self care is extremely important. most days I fight my depression by putting smiles onto others faces, but forgetting about my once bright smile.
