Do you fear death,
Our vested demise,
The end of all things
When you close your eyes.

So what in your life,
Have you left undone,
A kiss or a kindness
A nose-rub for fun.

We all take our leave,
Our end is for sure,
So today love the other,
Let your actions endure.

Time so precious,
A one way street,
Pause and wonder,
Life can't repeat.

I publish ******* by the gig,
Silly, simple rhymes that jig,
Maybe one day I'll remember,
The path I took to poet- pretender.

I really don't know how I got here,
A drunken quest to be a Shakespeare,
Perhaps it's all a dream and drama,
And in the end perhaps it's karma.

If we are what we do,
And then what we eat,
If habits form habits
Is there no way to cheat?

Only actions make change,
We must move to adapt,
How simple it seems,
No need to hold back.

If you want a new you,
Then go for a walk,
You'll never reach higher,
With nothing but talk.

Beware the life spent in pursuit,

Of happiness and joy,

A life lived longing, hoping,

Can make pleasure our decoy.


Time better spent posed standing still,

Attracting to us the things that thrill,

Be the magnet, be the pull,

Attract and capture the beautiful.

So
Tell me your secrets,
So hidden from view,
Each mystery a jewel,
I'll search for my clue.

I love to dance naked,
Perhaps so do you,
So share me your secrets,
And we'll rendezvous.

OK.
Always think in questions,
Be the first one to ask 'why'.

Then follow with an easy 'how',
Exposing truth from lies.

My favourite is a simple 'where',
An adventure to be sure.

'When' tags and lands you in the past,
And makes the 'where' endure.

Now only our poor 'what' remains
Whatever can we say.

Asking questions daily
Makes my life seem quite Ok.
Think in questions. best advice I ever got..hh

What has life taught,
What message spins,
Does evil have
A twice evil twin.

The greed and the fear,
The lust is to win,
Does all torment stop,
When true love begins.

God doesn't cry,
In His chagrin,
He waits for us patiently
To search from within.
