you mock my pain,
cheering me on.

for real.

i’m annoyed.
a bit hurt.
disappointed,
because my first attempt
didn’t work.

you tell me it’s okay —
when it’s not.
you say it’s an easy fix —
i know it is.
yet i sit in the grump,
because i wasted time,
energy,
looking forward to this.

if it’s a let-down,
you say, ten percent of it is.
i say, ninety —
so you argue,
i’m too pessimistic.

bite me.
this one is about those annoyingly positive people.
how cruel of you to exhaust moments of delight into staying here
forever.
It can't.
Joy,
delight,
excitement,
laughs,
smiles,
sunshine,
happiness are all fleeting emotions. They come by as a swift of wind to kiss you so impressing that you may be tempted.
You may be tempted to make it last.
happiness is a part of nature that we solmely feel,
you cannot make it last.
Love is more than words,
there may be tears
Love isn’t done in one night,
you work on it for years
It’s the little things you do,
to let them know you care
The hugs and the kisses,
locking eyes with loving stares
It may bring hard times,
when you only have each other
There will be the joy,
of knowing there is no other
Love is a flame,
you can’t let it go cold
You keep the spark alive,
so it never gets old
Love is those memories,
the kisses and the nights
It is two lives brought together,
bells, whistles, and flashing lights
Love is everything,
the journey may bring
The everlasting promise,
beyond the diamond ring
Make love in your heart,
for the one you love every day
Take the time, live your dreams,
so that love will always stay

My morning write for the day.
When lovers marry,
their joy becomes my sorrow,
I curse you, silent.
We could also marry, we could have joys too, I would not curse you...

i return to write with a brand new pen,
the paper’s different, yet i begin again.
this time it’s someone who makes me smile,
not the chaos i held for a lonely while.

your room was messy, his is neat,
you made me cry, he makes joy complete.
he respects me, you pushed and yelled,
he loves his family, your heart rebelled.

he shuns the fight, you loved the gun,
he’s my angel, you were no one.
and yet for a year i held your flame,
blind to god, playing your game.

but now i’m free, my heart’s in light,
i left the darkness, embraced the right.

A classroom isn't just a space
Here children grasp and learn
A space to train yourself
A place to thrive and burn.

From random jokes to teacher's scold
It's walls preserves stories untold
From tears to laughter echoing walls
Here, success makes a call.

Secrets shared, thoughts the same,
Opinion exchanged, memories made
But these beautiful days are impermanent
Like the colours of an old film fade.

Vibrant, lively atmosphere
Walls adorned with charts,
From our beautiful memories,
It's very hard to depart.

It's a place to explore oneself,
Your true self comes alive
Not just a daily destination
It's a classroom called life.
To create or to consume, that is the question
To cook or to gorge, needs answering
When a leaf flutters down from a tree
Dead, worn and bereft of life
The earth greets it with little mercy
And proceeds to devour it utterly
But ask the tree what she poured into that leaf
And she answers calmly, all the life that came before me
Our duty is to be, but our desire is to set free
What lives within us, from others already freed
From the mortal yoke
It takes a poke, a nudge and sometimes a push
For it comes not easy, not easily shook
But once you breathe the air of creation
You will never again question
Whether to eat or create
You draw upon the joys and pain of the billions before you
And you exhale into being, a beautiful bloom
Struggling to create something, speaking my truth

My Kitty claims my heart and soul,
Her love a fire that makes me whole.

She curls beside me, soft and bright,
A gentle flame that warms the night.

Her eyes like moons that glow and gleam,
Reflecting all my secret dream.

She purrs, she teases, sweet and near,
Her tender touch dissolves all fear.

With every hug and gentle sigh,
She lifts my heart where love can fly.

No hand but hers can touch my soul,
No eyes but hers can see me whole.

She kneads my chest with tiny paws,
A playful queen without a cause.

She nips, she squeezes, holding tight,
Her playful grip feels just so right.

With tiny bites she comes so near,
A playful hunger so bright and clear.

Her tiny paws, a gentle claw,
Remind me love has playful law.

She mews, she chirps, a flirtful sound,
Her playful sound is all around.

She owns my night, she owns my day,
No gaze can steal her love away.

Forever hers, my heart is bound,
In Kitty’s love, my joy is found.

With you, love lights my every day,
My heart alight in endless ways.

So stay, my Kitty, by my side,
For you alone are my heart’s true guide.
