I walked in the coffee shop down the street
The clouds were dark as the rain poured down
I went into the coffee shop and took my seat
I look through the window a view of the town
The place was filled with noise of chattering
People get about and just making conversation
Fresh brewed coffee filled the air with its aroma
A girl walked in which caught my attention
She sat down on a table right next to mine
Hold onto a cup of coffee with a tear in her eye
I went over to her table and asked her why
" Just another bad day" was her reply
That was the start of our conversation
Drinking coffee and sharing our stories
Trading our secrets with no hesitation
Who knew all of the broken pieces
Could be fix with coffee and conversations

Lambe

I remembered the great days
Where everything felt right
So many words I needed to say
I promise the truth and no lies
The days where I spent with them
My friends in the basking sun
They accepted me for who I am
I remember jokes and lame punts
I remember smiles that were made
I remember the secrets we had shared
These people that I do really care
These people I call my best mates
Now all I know is we are farther apart
Sometimes I think back it makes me sad
All I know you are all inside my heart
These people I will always remember
The fun we all had when we are together
The memories I have will remain forever

This is a poem I dedicated to my friends Jojo, Abdel, Alip and Hafiz. I hope you guys like it I mean it isn't much. This poem is about friendship and the title that was given is due to the group name that were given to us. I hope you guys enjoy it

Death

Death has walked these very halls
Creeping and slowly watching
The innocent life which would fall
In the hands of its reckoning

Death would just wander about
Looking at the little fragile lives
Which could easily be taken out
As simple as throwing a dice

Time was on the side of death
For it had all the time in the world
No one could ever be saved
When it comes to collect your soul

Cherish every little moments that you have
All the happiness through joy and the laugh
Because honestly we would never know
When death comes knocking on your door

This is just something for the recent event involving the loss of life

Curious

Why must there be war?
Why can't we all live in peace?
What is it all worth for?
Why can't we avoid all this?
All the blood of the innocent
Falling slowly by the street
The lives of an innocent person
Death lingers and slowly it creeps
Gunfire blows the silence
People running in fear
Why is there no balance?
Why is there even war here?
The sad tragedy has only left me
Wondering in my own curiosity
Why can't we just spread love?
Why must we spread hate?
Can't we all live together peacefully?
Because honestly all this war has left me
Wondering in my own curiosity

Sanctuary

The sound of nature echos around
There is only peace to be found
The nature offers only tranquility
An escape from the noise of cars
An escape from the hectic city
A place that offers you sanctuary

Time

Day by day slowly passes by,
365 days seems to be a lot,
But a year has pass in a blink of an eye,
Time is shorter than I have thought,
Hours pass, minutes and seconds follow,
If only time could easily to be bought,
Then people could have much to do,
Make smiles and heals the sorrow,
Time is gold as the people say,
So don't live your life feeling hollow,
Cheer up and enjoy every single day,
It is still a mystery for tomorrow,
Death lingers around to collect its pay,
Just appreciate time as much as you can,
Because everybody knows that,
Time and tide wait for no man,

Please Stay

I have so many things to say
Though I have forgotten a few
I remembered how much I care
I always hope in my arms you'd stay
Never leave my sight
Never leave my mind
Never leave for a second
Just say that you're mine
I know that this is not enough
To prove how much I'm in love
If you walk on and just leave
I will surely fall down and cry
Cause you are the air I breathe
The sun that fills up my sky
So please don't you ever go away
Promise me in my heart you'll stay
