bring along your heart
face its fetters and fears
come to her, near and bare
turn to the moonglade, is there

what part has one played
of accountability and flight
lost in twilight and moment
that one cannot see, so torment

what is keeping you unfair
out of the love one deserves
be a master you love to serve
see how much of it unnerves

leave nostalgia of the past  
as glowing path never go astray
is just one fallen heart away
to a place calling one to stay

I rather wake up
to headache than to a heart
that aches without you

I rather drown in
an overactive mind than clarify
that assumptions made about you

I rather live in denial
of a mistaken love than bravely
terminate a toxic one with you

I rather escape to
a world of make-believe than
create a real one sooner for you

I rather pass out to
a state of palpable stupor than
chart to a clear future by you
(revision). A lament on life's observations. May we find compassion but not be an enabler.

teach a kid to tie
a shoe lace is harder
loops and crossings
over and under
tricky little fingers
trying to master
then they learnt
and move on
another feather
in the cap
Remember to be a kid sometimes, relearning to tie a shoe lace

unity makes security
happiness is my harmony
honesty means authenticity
vulnerability gives me serenity
contentment equals tranquility
upset any of these immaturely
with aggression or stupidity
will ruin our stability
What are you prepared to struggle for?Everything else is just scenery
An old 2016 poem that's still relevant.

at the turn of road
much has unloaded
fountain ebbs n flows
eve and an unknown
the endless abodes
a seeking soul dwells
one shell for another
much stories to tell
a little plastromancy
and live life chancy
or settle thy roots to
fold up the parachutes

When the body gets
so tired of the way it feels,
renewal next life

Equality is treating
everyone the same
Equity is giving
everyone the same
chance to advance
society's severest test

Sometimes sighted
ones has to be given
the braille test
including the jury
for a wrong righted
affrights no one
Inspired by Jodi Picoult's, Small Great Things.
