we were only three weeks from shore,
when thunder struck and started downpour,
a great mist and fog clouded our eyes,
blinded us to the direction of the tides,
progress soon we did lose,
and as we lamented our perilous cruise,
we did hear an enchanting voice,
we dropped our sails and made the choice,
to rescue that fair maiden poor,
lost at sea like a jewel in a moor,
alas, when we neared her silver tongue,
entranced in the light of the song she sung,
we threw ourselves at her feet,
watched with smiles as she began her feast.
Inspired by the sirens of Greek mythos!

as their statuses increase
no need to cross their shoulders together
                               the less they need a quiet
place, the better
They don't have to be a part of another life
their minds are filled with confusion and pain
There is not a Peace's moment there
but they judge
that it is better
wherever they are
they don't find their hidden selves
(they are  counterfeit lives)
their treasures.
When the guns fell silent in Levantine skies
Hast thou no missiles left for me?
Scarcely a drone within our airspace flies
As thousands now attempt to flee
You’ve heard from me, why I not thee?

Blitz me! Smother me with bombs!
Blast me! Strike me here, from there?
Let mortars fall like sugar plums!
Make ash clouds smoulder, sirens blare
This iron dome has got to give! -
All is fair, in love, and warfare πŸš€
I wrote this as a joke when somebody didn’t respond to a message…

It is NOT intended to be political!
It may not be true
but I'm just sayin
when I commit to you
you go to playin
You make a fool of me
but also yourself
every woman you see
another book on the shelf
I've stuck with you
through thick and thin
but I am through
I'm packin it in
I hope you find
what you're lookin for
I'll do the same in kind
I'll not settle the score.

Pull the lever,
Shift your sights,
Fate’s a force to rally,

Respect the ribbon’s binding,
Guardian rails fail short for trying,
But grief’s a burden to carry,

Can’t you feel the tides turning?
