I may not be the sharpest lead in the pencil
Or the brightest jewel in the display case
I also may not be one learned in higher degree
But I do have common sense in its place

My brains blade may only slice warm butter
And the Gummy bears in my thoughts a bit soft
I may only have, street smarts to lean back
But I know the difference between right and wrong

I'm certainly not the deepest layered lasagna
Or hold the brightest bulb in my head
But I know without a doubt that you struggle without
The first hand knowledge in common sense

these words are a paraphrasing of the famous words from
Martin Niemöller,
an anti-******, German Christian pastor:

"First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I wasn’t a trade unionist, so I didn’t speak out.

Then they came for the Jews.
I wasn’t a Jew so I didn’t speak out.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one to speak for me.”

A Love Poem?

Oh yes, surely, is not written, love thy neighbor as you love thyself
~~~

17[a] You must not hate your brother in your heart.
/ [17b] You must surely reprove your fellow citizen
/ [17c] so that you do not incur sin on account of him.
18[a] You must not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people,
/ [18b] but you must love your neighbor as yourself.
/ [18c] I am the LORD.

— Leviticus 19:17-18
I can see how I did a little damage
Your eyes wonder everywhere but mine
As you walk away.
I can't blame you,
I would be the same.

"Long time no see," several times he repeats
I finally forget the past
Before I saw your face today
"I know" I casually say.

I want to remember every word you say
But forget enough to not obsess

Boy, if you only knew
The million times I imagined this day
I have no motive
Just to give
Not expecting to receive
What else can I say
I was wrong
I made a mistake.
Give me a couple more days.
I'll explain this to you all the way.

I remember all the reasons I fell heads over heals
How words slip out of your mouth
As if so thirty for air
He's a child in a mans body
Awe how precious and sweet
I just fall even deeper through the night
So invested
You watch the movie
While I can't help but be watching you
Silently thinking
All the times I imagined you...
Now you are finally here beside me
We can't erase
But we can be pass it all
These funny scenes
Bring light and laughter
Things are never as bad as they seem
The worst is over
Now lets play the field
No rush
I'll treat you like a friend
I've got time

"Sometimes I walk by and see you,
Working away" He says and says
"Maybe sometime, you should check out the new place?"
He continues to say
For sure I say

And that was the day
A long awaited event
Planned
Finally seeing his face again

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.

In a life of black and white,
She swears shes got colour.

In this prism,
She dances freely in her
kaleidoscopic
world.

I wish I could be free like that.

I feel the shadow
moving slowly across
the view of life
as the season's change.

The transition of light
limited by the shortness
of the day bringing
me to a yearly change.

Drawing me to a darker place
within the depths
of my mind.
I find comfort within.

Slowly withdrawing
from the world
I know,
finding comfort in solitude.
in the darkness,
there are different kinds of light
.
there are lights that;
too bright for you to see the truth,
too dim for you to distinguish the reality from fantasy.
there are also lights that may burn you down.

but the best of all is the light that comes from him---
Our Father.

Our God
