Joshua Michael Jun 2018
Alors merci, for breaking me
You taught me what's not love
You showed me indifference
Alors merci, for making me tough
...
Alors merci, for leaving me
You broke my chains
You set my mind free
Alors merci, for showing me
...
Alors merci, for being so cold
You showed me to find better
You left me for another to love
Alors merci, for showing me my value
...
Alors merci, for being the wrong one
You allowed me to find the right one
...
Alors merci ma chère
I have found love now and thank you, I was looking in all the wrong people and now I've found the right ones.
Thank you I am happier now.
Dark n Beautiful Apr 2017
The best part of the day was two-thirty for me
The best part of the evening, is when I am on the train
With my thoughts, my aching feet
and you on my mind: the warm feeling

The high risk: the madness, this military world
then I thought of a Jamaican comedy
Shabada, Trever and basement Granny
The vibes, his voice, their natural dialect,
of freedom raw on stage, big up to them
Like the olden days with the pen and paper
Pen pals and old typewriters: we communicate freely
Without the social media tools:
Throughout each line we read, we smile,
We touch the smudge ink on the pages,
its represent the love of someone who cared

However, here today is the trump administration news
The regales stories of families who are being torn apart
The thousands of elephants that are being poached for its ivory tusks
To the messages it sends about an uncaring leadership team
For all my pain, my good deals of the day,
Merci, merci, mercy me!
My plantar fasciitis: when would it all end?
