I am a simpleton,
I have nothing to give accept a smile,
A gift of joy.
The corners of my mouth turn up,
My cheeks lift and my smile reaches my eyes which twinkle,
Shows I am happy from the inside.
It makes me look younger,
Gives me confidence,
Shows I am friendly.
My smile closes the distance between me and the other,
It brings cheer and lightens the mood,
It reduces the stress.
My smile is contagious,
It spreads happiness,
It's healthy,
Boosts my immune system by relaxing me.
A smile costs so little,
Gives such a lot,
It is an act of charity,
Smile and the world will smile with you.

i stand

on top

of a cliff

mesmerised

by your beauty;

you are

the ocean.

my heart beats fast

as i

look down below.

the hue of blue

beckons me.

the sound

of the waves

crashing

whispers

a gentle “hello”

to me.

the wind’s

gentle embrace

gives me

unexplainable warmth.

i always wanted

to jump

into your beauty —

but for now,

i’ll enjoy where i am.
i feel bad for not posting my constant emotional outbursts since i’m out of town and enjoying the beuty of beaches so here’s something i wrote in relation to cliff diving yesterday.

it was so scary but i jumped regardless. and i actually did it three times. it was so exciting.

and just like that,
as the
warm sunlight
touches my face
slowly,
i told myself
to breathe.

Sleep ‘till you wake up
No need to make up
For anyone
Or anything

Rest and relax now
No need to stress now
Just clear your head
And go to bed

Dreams will be here soon
Focus on now, soon
You’ll see the way
It’s another day

Closing your eyes, hush
Sounds minimized, hush
It’s all you need
Just go to sleep

Just go to sleep.

Sometimes you just gotta sit back and face that you deserve it.... sleep.

Like billowing drapes in the
infamously airy Fitzgerald scene,
deep cerulean waves transform me
into an idle dope.

Still yet existing, breathing,
confined
to les regles of the trade
even in the softly overwhelming shadow
of the undiscovered waters.

The soft breeze only provides temporary
relaxation.
I am strongly affected in my physical state:
vegetative, even.
But my psyche screams for

A true offering of peace,
the final offering,
the permanent offering,
the end.

Most active feet will suffer blisters
Most of us know how it feels
Most of us know how it hurts
The problem of athleticism

And almost wish you didn't
It pays not to over do it
Now it's paying
You back

Put away your sneakers
Put away  your shoes
Put away the boots
Put up your feet

Get a good
Book

I don't smoke to get high,
It's so much more than that
I smoke to suddenly feel
all 650 muscles
simultaneously
relax.
