A baby lays in his mother's arms.
The mother coos, enchanted by his charm.
He stretches and lets out a little smile,
When he realizes he's in his mother's arms 'cause he's fragile.

Faced by many difficulties and challenges,
Encompassed by their anger and outrages,
They fail to realize something great,
And because of that they fall prey to the devil who gave them a bait.

They don't realize that they're loved my the Almighty.
They're blinded by misfortunes that seems mighty.
They're weary and worn every day and this leaves traces,
And not a smile can be seen on their faces.

Can they ever realized that they're important?
Can they ever see that they're not just servants?
That they mean so much more; daughters and sons,
That by and by, their battles will be won?

That because they're loved, they should change their mood?
That they are not forgotten by the God who does good?
That even at their lowest they mean so much to Him,
So they should smile and be grateful to Him?

Have you ever wondered?
How tired a person can be—
Not physically, not even mentally
but—
Something that this world might never see.

I asked myself,
"Parisha, how you've grown up, don't you love your childhood?"
And only i could hear back was......
the calm voice of my warm breeze.

Though, it amazes me—
Amazes me with the miracles,
Miracles that might represents me as mad  as world won't believe....
But, don't do I deserves to feel—Special?

Special to be my God's priority,
Special to be someone worth enough for my loved ones,
Special to be the person the world might stop and ask,
“Hey… are you okay?”

Tired of hoping,
Tired of waiting,
tired of loving someone so deep
that my heart feels older than my years as it is—

And still I wonder—
why does it amaze me,
that I can face this world
with the happiest smile?
A smile that postered peace has cracks…
Cracks that were covered that start to appear in times of great test, revealing its uncertainty, vulnerability, venom towards the thing that makes it fear…

The smile is a signature of submission
A stamp of insecurity
Because to feel one must think, not temporarily fix,
And to truly fix, one must insist on feeling - everything…

A smile full of love, wisdom and youth never fails, but is thrown; blasted by veiled vast-disappointments, so that the face that holds it moistens with incredulity…

But a smile that has no truth -
When it starts to fray; stiffens easily - turns anodyne, bitter, frozen…
Until the corpse behind that smile becomes clearer - and dictates death with no mirror…

But beware… you can turn away all mirrors
Yet in the darkness they will linger, slither, shimmer, hunt you down…
There’s no escaping from the silent screams in your head and eventually this realm of darkness will fully consume you - if you choose to take this path of lies, safety, silk teeth…etiquette… wrong rest.

Your future shines bright from the heavens
I wish you'd see it for yourself
But instead, I watch your sad eyes look back
on pasts and regrets
and also continue on with a smile

Some say that the world will end in fire, and some say it’ll end in ice
Some say that the world will end in explosion, the cause of the despise
Some say that we’ll move to a world we’ll learn to love, to miss our home
That we destroyed, So we’ll fly away again into the stars but still we are alone
Some say that the world will end in darkness, when our beloved light goes out
Or the god that is said to rule us, will tire and we’ll never know what the story was about
Some say that the world will end in nothing, for we’ll not comprehend it when it comes
We’ll be angry or upset, in our last moments, or perhaps holding the ones we love
I don’t know how the world would end, but maybe it’ll end when we do
The earth will grow back into the place that it deserved to
Or maybe it will end when the world breaks apart, unable to hold itself any more
Or maybe it will be when we are the ones to tear apart, ****** and full of gore
Or maybe it will never end, and though we will stop life will continue on
In a universe without us, in a universe where we are all gone
Silence of the world, slowly rocking itself asleep
Our cries were no more, nothing else to believe
Perhaps we were not meant to be in the start, for this world is out to ****
And battling nature, we’ve begun to feast at each other, our own blood what spills
There are a million ways that the world will end, and for us it seems important
But we continue to ignore that we are the cause of almost all of them
Maybe the end doesn’t matter, because at the last page of a book we cannot write more
We do not write the story, the path of fate, we know not what’s in store
So maybe if we work to make it better than it was, and maybe make it last
And not be stuck in our heads about who to love, when the world’s ending so fast
Perhaps we don’t need a war, and maybe we need unity
But there must be some sort of end, even in eternity
We can just live today as if it doesn’t exist, smile some more instead of smiling so less
The people that will come will go, and it’s okay to make a mess
Remember to clean up, for someday this will all end, best to make a home out of nothing left
Let’s leave something so the ink doesn’t dry up too soon, write our own story
While fate writes ours too
I am dying to be by you, at your bedside
Mon amour, I yearn every second to be by your side
To soothe the pain, to give you a good massage
To mesmerize you and to send the right message
To your body, to your soul and to your enduring heart
Darling, going forward, you and I should never be apart.

I am dying to be with you at night and day
Throughout your rehabilitation and your stay
At any medical facilities. I miss you very bad
I miss you all the time. I am both sad and mad
That I am not with you right now and today
I’m craving and dying to be by your side right away.

I will see you soon. I will be with you all the time
I will be the sweet healer who will happily rhyme
For you. I had been waiting for the perfect occasion
To come. I am eager to see you smile and laugh again
I am dying to be sitting and standing at your bed side
Sweetheart, I miss you like a sad lover, like a poor child.

I downloaded Duolingo,
thought, “Cool, I’ll learn some French!”
But now that little owl
got me living on the bench.

I opened it for practice,
just fooling around,
but now I know Korean—
about two hundred words down!

I practice small sentences,
I sound kinda neat,
like (saranghae) —
and sometimes (shebal!) in heat.

Chinese is harder,
I’ll admit with a sigh,
but hey, twenty words—
I can still order chai.

I skipped one single lesson,
just ONE—don’t roll your eyes,
next thing I know he’s texting me:
“Practice… or goodbyes.”

I chase K-dramas nightly,
my goal is quite clear:
understand the crying scene
before subs appear!

But the owl is relentless,
he haunts me in my dreams,
taps on my window,
and silently screams.

I drill German phrases
before I even pray,
and sometimes I swear I hear him whisper:
“Now… Italian with me.”

So if one day you see me
laugh, gasp, or freeze,
just know it’s not me losing it—
it’s that green-eyed nightmare
telling me to learn… or else.

The moon was but a sliver of a smile in the sky
It followed me relentlessly as my world passed me by
I kind of like being followed by a smile,
Haven’t had one myself in quite a while
So I smile back at that waning moon
And drive on, drive on in my motor car cocoon
Wrote this at 70 MPH going down the expressway and dictating to my phone. Took me 13 miles to complete. The moon really was smiling at me!
