I once arose before the dawn
To seek a reason to go on
I kissed the rising sun just for fun
And set out on my merry way

It might have been a Tuesday now
I saw the grazing Holstein cow
A ship that had run aground it's bow
But no reason for this beautiful day

I walked along the concrete streets
I talked to strangers in bare feet
I queried everyone I'd meet
But no one could give me the OK

I swam across the snake filled river
I took bee's honey with a dibber
It made my stomach ache and quiver
So I lay down on the sands by the Bay

A horseshoe crab came racing by
He had no time for my questions why
Then I spied the hermit crab go sly
As he withdrew deep into his shell

Then the porpoise jumped and laughed
When I was quick to ask
They flashed off and left me daft
To the questions that I quelled

A sea turtle stroked on through
Eating up the jellyfish they do
But his conceit just left me blue
When he told me to go to Hell

I raised up my eyes to the air
Seagulls were flying everywhere
But they left white in my hair
That's when the hammer hit the nail

I then knew the secret to life
There would no longer be all that strife
Confusion was cut in two like a knife
I drew my gun and the seagulls fell

So the answer is ,
Don't let anyone **** on you

Don't write his name in poems
Don't even speak to the walls
Keep your love a secret
If he doesn't care at all

Don't go engraving his name
on the canvas made of your skin
Hide him inside the hollows of your chest
Fade him behind a smokescreen

Don't christen his memories
You don't label them with dates
What worth were these days anyway
If he didn't dare to stay

Don't antagonize if the world does not know
Let me tell you what to do
If you think you really love him so much
(And Unless he's telling to wait
or you know for a fact he'll change)
WAKE UP!
And move the !%&# on.
I wouldn't agree to this myself. Cause maybe moving on is so terribly hard. What the hell on earth does "moving on" even mean.!? You don't forget someone, never ever! You WONT forget anything. God, you can almost wish you had amnesia, but until that happens, nope.. you can never just delete someone from your hard drive. You... JUST STOP LOOKING BACK. You'll always cherish them and their memories and that is a good thing. It's good not to hold grudges against someone who never loved you back. I mean, yes hate them.. Hate them as much as you love them. But if you will just plain hate them now, just think about it, was it even love in the first place. Or was it just obsession? So, yeah. Stop looking back. In the future, when someone asks, you tell them "Yes, there was someone. Someone dear to me." But you don't tell them who they were or where they are. You don't, because you're just reviving them in your mind.  If you never had them in the first place, and if they never liked you even once, then maybe being in love with them is a lesson. A lesson that, if someone loves you so much, you shouldn't ignore that. You shouldn't ignore what you went through, and you shouldn't let anyone else go through that for you.! Because if someone does love you so much, they'd always make sure you stay happy. Even if they had to keep their distance to do that. But if you find someone who loves you mad, more than any person ever did.. you don't let them go. Because they will never do that too.

But of-course, there are cases that have exceptions. Being in love with your best friend, still in love with your ex-wife/husband. Sometimes, holding on is okay too. Leave that to another poem someday.

Have an amazing day reader. Fall in love!! Maybe the first time, maybe again. Maybe, you just might be loved back. :)

A wall clock, slowly ticking on the side table
A ceiling fan, hurling with the lowest speed setting
A sudden breeze, rushing in through the windows
tiny LED lights, like ghosts illuminating in the pitch black night
All these sounds, stirring in the air
The screeching of cars outside
And rustling of nearby trees
A heart thumping, calm, inside a body on the bed
Sudden thoughts, saddening and exciting
The duality of the melancholic mind
A face looking up, staring at nothing but darkness, thinking
"Will I see the morning?"

Come take my hand
we’ve not a care
As beauty flows
for us to share

Now reaching forth
so endlessly
As far as any
eye can see

In rainbow fields
where flowers play
Along the fence
soft breezes sway

Of colors bright
and pastel gleam
A butterfly,
a winding stream

While robins sing
in wondrous style
And nature brings
to us a smile

A dream beneath
blue skies above
This day with you
*the one I love
Everyday is beautiful when you are in love

Thank you for reading
