Cages to ward out others
Cages to keep me in
Cages of the mind
Until it’s reached it’s bitter end
Cages of conformity
Cages of restraint
Cages to mask my anger
From the rules now set in place
Cages are restricting
Cages that persist
Cages made for safety
Cages to resist
Toilet paper dwindling
Not enough to share
No longer is it within my reach
To wipe my derrière

Toilet paper is most craved, an object of desire; you need three yards on curry night when your backside goes on fire.    

If no paper is available
I recommend you spritz
Because no one likes a ***** ***
After someone.....


‪Once my days were quite serene‬
‪My nights were there for me to dream‬
‪Now I wake and emanate a scream‬
So I ate and ate all the ice cream
There’s no more food, just canned sardines
‬I’ve completely lost my self esteem
There seems to be a pressing theme
I don’t want to turn in to a crying meme
I’m so bored indoors for quarantine‬
When will they concoct a new vaccine‬
Maybe under a new regime?
Everywhere and anywhere that I choose to be
There’s a whole wide world of problems waiting for you and me
And if I find the answers to the questions that I seek
I can afford the knowledge, but knowledge don’t come cheap

So, come if you wanna come
Say what you gotta say
Stand where you gotta stand
Just know I’ll find a way

Obstacles won’t deter me
Words are just there to speak
The voices inside my head
Are always running on repeat

I won’t back down to no one
The promises I make I keep
I don’t shy away from danger
At any given moment, I’ll take the leap

So come if you wanna come
Say what you gotta say
Stand where you gotta stand
Just know I’ll find a way

You know I’m not your savior
I can’t protect you from me
Don’t harbor any resentments
I’m just fulfilling my destiny

I won’t resort to violence
I just need space to breathe
It’s all about perception
And missed opportunities

So come if you wanna come
Say what you gotta say
Stand where you gotta stand
Just know I’ll find a way

Leave if you wanna leave
Stay if you wanna stay
Love who you wanna love
Just stay the hell away from me
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
Whether near, or over yonder
Through my phone, awe still inspires
While separate for the coronavirus
Hearts maintain if love is pure
So I remain, behind closed doors
When hearts are full, and love is blind
Profess your love through FaceTime.
Lavender

Purple fields of lavender
Pollinating honey bees
Moved by subtle gusts of wind and a passing breeze
With gentle sounds, and swaying trees
Springtime’s presence upon us, feeling quite at ease
At its essence, pure and sweet
Consistent as a latent heat
Like Mother Nature’s own heart beat
Is where someday I’d like to meet
‪Watch the canvas come alive‬
‪As the painters paint strokes glide‬
‪A visually and captivating scene ‬
‪Of storm clouds and a sea of green‬
‪What’s more, if you look closer still‬
‪You’ll notice the ocean water spill‬
‪Now, with the living room all wet‬
‪You begin to wonder as to the artists intent‬
