"I don't care if it's a joke in your eyes." She said with no hesitancy and a certain sharpness in her voice. Her softness faded and boldness came over. Her stare was razor sharp as though she could **** someone but it was also disciplined more than impulsive. It wasn't rage, it was fire; fierce and courageous that l hadn't ever seen her dress in. She looked intimidating but strong. She looked daunting but fearless. "There is a limit to jokes, I do joke around and it is fun to a certain point. But there are words and actions I will not tolerate and that is my personal choice. My boundary. I don't care if I love you or if you are my friend. I don't care if you are the closest person to me or the farthest. I will not let your actions or words compromise on my self respect anymore. It is my self value that I stand by. Your actions, words do not define me. The way you treat me does not bring down my worth and neither does it matter to me anymore. I am not a reflection of who you treat me. I know who I am now, I know what I stand by. I am not afraid of losing you or afraid to be seen as a person who overreacts" She stepped in closer, sending a shiver down their spine. "This is my self respect, value, and boundary - accept it or leave"

If one don’t smile,
One is dead

If one don’t cry,
One is dead

If one don’t feel pain,
One is dead

Treasure the values
Of all those emotions,
That,
We smile, cry and feel pain

The,
Human connections.

Searching a value of “X”
Entered a elite Pub
Faced Daruma eyes without a familiar face
I was Alien to them, and they were to me.

In a drunk state,
Arousing reasons, absence sense
A query of its own  
Bar tender placed s/t in equidistance ground
Judging people by the questions, they ask
Who got the skin, who got the bones
Difference between living and existing
A winner and a looser
“Why”, “What”, “Who” : never ending interrogations
Less control over all senses
Dare to answer all noble teachers
In Wiki’s failure, repeatedly shaking a head

Value of a "Signature"
Weights value of your “X”
Found an enlightening answer
Dynamic code of a life
My 2nd thought, "A drunk seems master of all."
Shared from my Anthology, Canvas: Echoes and Reflections, 2018.

I'd much rather hear
your lonely silence,
seemingly with no end,
rather than
your empty words,
which never held any sort of value
to you




nor to myself

anymore...

Doe
I woke up this morning
with you on my mind,
and fresh memories
of another perfect night.

I'm in heaven when I'm
spending time with you.

There's nothing on this Earth
that I'd rather do.

Outside the rain's falling
but I don't mind.
Because anytime you're around
the whole world looks so bright.

You make me feel alive,
like nobody else ever could.

You make it easy for me
to see the beauty and the good in this world and so

- -

I don't ever want what we've got now to end.
Above all else, you're the perfect friend,

and like a deer, anytime you appear
in a perfect scene,  you can still add the finishing touch.
When you're here anything that I fear
melts away - and you know how I feel girl - I love you so much but..

- -

It doesn't matter if I can't keep you to myself.
It doesn't matter if I gotta see you leaving with somebody else.

I still want you on my side
in this game they call life.
You're the piece that's been missing
for all of this time

and it took me so long
to work out what was wrong.
But I'd never have known had you
not come along, and so...


It doesn't matter if I can't hold you in my arms all night.
It doesn't matter if I cant wake up to your smile in the morning light.

There's so much in this world
left to do and to see.
It could only be better
in your company.

So though I can't pretend
that my heart will relent,
it's OK.
I just never want what we have now to end...

My perfect friend.
Written for a love over which only our friendship presides.

Don't chase, value, love or need
Mass produced replacable things
We seek with hopes they'll make us whole
They'll fill your house but not your soul

Don't skip the ocean to buy souvenirs
Or that's all you'll have in 20 years
Memories, people, experiences, time
You can buy more decor but clocks can't rewind

that thoughts of you run through me
like water through a river.
that you are as enticing as a great book
maybe even more so.
that i really really value you as a person
as a friend.
that you are as beautiful as the sky
and i love the sky.
this was from over a month ago and is kinda unfinished but i like it :)

"My love,
My Sun God,
The beat of my fragile heart,
The crown of my head,
What is inflation?"
asked the wife to her husband.
"My sweetie  pie,
My Moon Godess Artemis,
My exotic perfume,
It's  simple.
First, when we got married,
You were 36-24-36,
Today you are 48-52-50,
You have everything more than what you had before,
But, your value has become less,
That's INFLATION.
Economy is not hard with a good example
