I haven't written anything truly meaningful in a while, my soul is silent
I haven't written anything truly meaningful in a while, my soul is silent,
So, could you speak to me a little more, give me a voice through your presence?
It’s not about selfishness, but the ink in the pen yearns for your attention, it trembles,
It desires you, more intensely than I do, in a silent dance of

OUR LIFESTYLE
We never faked it
always keeping it real
When we get, we ball
When we don't have, we work hard
Life is dually; High or low
Good or bad times, win or lose
We're always ready for anything.
No racing with any
Steadily thriving in our lane
Because we've got no mate
Never to be limited, we're unlimited
For we got taste, depending on our

Anything But Sleep
Anything but sleep.
Fall over the steps.
And invisible soup spilling everywhere.
There’s a feeling of grappling.
Eyes bulging.
Anything but sleep.
Money, crying,
Mourning,
Never snoring.
Lying down.
Can’t see much.
Still awake though.
Anything but sleep.
Give me butterflies covered in slime.
Or burning ears.
Please give me…
Anything but sleep.
I might be immortal.
And

Anything Goes
Perhaps he's crackers
to embrace glitz
(to paraphrase Irving Berlin)
'Putin on the Ritz'
tho'
'Sometimes something is better than nothing'
went the writing on the wall
yet
'Too much of nothing'
(wrote the Zimmerman)
is really no good at all
and
'Everything comes to those who wait'
an optimist put in prose
but
Cole Porter said it best
when he wrote, 'Anything Goes'

If Anything Will Ever Change
Nowdays society is in total chaos, don't keep asking yourself
" If Anything ever changes ": who dares to fight has no fear;
making the same mistake is silly, try to improve yourself,
choose positivity to free doubt from desolation and despair.
Don't sit in that corner for too long and wish for happiness,
we create our own misery

It doesn't much matter anyway
What color
You pick
Any will do, aside from the original

Maybe I Shouldn't've Said Anything

NO ONE TAKES ANYTHING AWAY
It was an ordinary funeral,
nothing striking—except the strange restraint of the living.
The coffin, made of somber wood, bore an inscription,
succinct, sincere, almost brutal:
In this world, no one takes anything away.
And just below,
like the advice of an old master to his absent-minded disciple:
Be humble, and thank even your enemies.
Take pleasure, as much as you can, in

Anything and Everything
Have you ever shed a tear for me?
I've cried a sea for you
Don't tell me that I shouldn't have
I did and I still do
Love has no sense of can or can't
It knows no right or wrong
It's only wish is to enchant
The subject of its song
It's written for a someone
A pretty

Don't Serve Me Anything Old and Cheesy
I've been served lots of unappetizing things
that simply did not please my palette.
Being force fed with bitter or insincere words
is unappealing presented as a crisp green salad.
I would rather be underfed and malnourished
than to feast on something too briny or cheesy.
I won't feast on a buffet of regurgitated foods,
like dill pickles

If I'm an advocate for anything, I'm an apostle of movement
If I'm an advocate for anything, I'm an apostle of movement,
To venture far, to roam unknown worlds and dreams,
To cross oceans of time and rivers of memories,
To lose yourself in others' footsteps, to taste stories written in aromas, in colors.
Each journey is a mosaic of souls, a map of unseen emotions,
Rise from the comfort of

BRAVENESS
Bravery
His attribute
Always doing
What others are afraid of
Very determined, not desperate
He's so confident and courageous.
Braveness
He's so fearless
Always ready
To face whatever is ahead
He's a risk taker
He's thy people's hope
Even danger can't stop him.
Braveness
Forward and onward
He's always ready
He's not a coward
Always doing the impossible
By setting
