rush of a black dress
a face you looked away from
a smile never returned

Like fine mature wine
Highly appreciated
Well recommended

Never grow oversmart
When your voice is to be heard,
Your request is to be respected,
And you expect a burst of excitement
At the fulfilment of your wish.

Simplicity is the dress of the humble,
And the humble is highly honored.

the dank soil tightened
scent of relief after rain
sunset burned like sighs
in time the gray sky turns blue
so do the streaks in their eyes

lads water her mind
"You look so gorgeous today"
but she's done with scripts
she tests those eyes if they stay
when trivial beauty is stripped

War
Is a poker to stir hate

Peace is water to douse the flames

Sometimes, I
Regret
Not regretting.
