If my principles
die,
It has to be
with
me,
Never before me.

Like autumn leaves, our love
begins to beautifully grow
into a vibrant, colourful, 
radiant, and vivid glow

And just when love becomes
the most exotic and bright, 
it withers away and dies 
until the next autumn sight

A professor explained to me once
how there is a limited number
of possible designs for making
an arrow point function as intended.

You can't stick a round rock on a stick
and expect it to penetrate like a dart.

It has to be sharp and hard, yet light
to fly like a feather straight and true
to the heart. I said, you mean like love?

She said, yeah, like love, kinda like love.

She's the greatest woman I know,
She's beautiful,
Her brains are incredible,
She works so hard,
Sometimes I feel she does way too much for me,
Oh she can pray!bet she's always on guard,
She's taught me how to not just look but see,
She's strong at heart,
Determined,full of faith and most loving,
Having her has nothing to do with luck,
I'm really blessed and highly favoured for having her,
She's my fathers life companion,
I call her mummy
I love her so dearly.

You made a poet fall in love with you
And expected her not to write sonnets about your eyes
Haikus about the way you kissed her in the moonlight
Expected the fire in her heart not to inspire couplets
You made a poet fall in love with you, and when you left
Expected her not to write pages about the ache in her chest
Write a soliloquy dedicated to her tears
Expected her not to feel every gut wrenching moment of the pen hitting paper like your words hit her in the most vulnerable places of her mind.
You made a poet fall in love with you, and you expected her to be silent.
That is no fault of hers.

My eyes have captured so many visions of you
The way you smile
How beautifully you dance
I see your heart
It's so gentle and white in the purest form

Your strength is relentless
Your determination always prevalent

My eyes have captured so many visions of you
I've had the honour
The time
To watch you grow
My aim was to guide you
To teach you
Yet you have taught me so much more
Your energy
Humour
Fun
Intelligence
Shines like the brightest star

My eyes have captured so many visions of you
From the first day I held you
And each night since
I have watched you sleep
Stroked your beautiful face
Wishing all the best for you
Hoping all your dreams will come true
Being your mother
Has been the greatest blessing
As I remember each moment
Treasured Memories
My eyes capturing so many visions of you
Painting daily........
A portrait of my love ~

Dream dreams you're scared of dreaming,
Think thoughts you're scared of thinking,
Your head isn't transparent,
No one will see them,
Hold dear to your dreams ; big dreams,
As they live in your mind,
It begins to formulate ways to achieve them.

You didn't just happen,
You were created,
You're incredibly beautiful/handsome even when plain,
Opinions shouldn't define you,
Define yourself,
You won't ever live here again,
So living based on peoples opinions will just wear you out for nothing.

The feeling of feeling invisible;
Feels like dreams are impossible,
Because no one really sees you,
And it feels like about success,you have no clue,
And you feel you being praised isn't due,
It hurts,it feels hopeless
Until you realise that its not about who sees you,
Its about what you know is within you,
The power in your mind,the power of your thoughts.
And your will to rise above your own expectations,
Then you'll move from invisible to invincible.
