Fellow
• Such a charming fellow
• With eyes a vibrant yellow
• He'll stare you down
• Often with a frown
• Befriend him and you'll see he's quite mellow

Snakes That Befriend and Kill
death came from rattle snakes
build a fort just to dig his grave
air became thinner inside
with every single inhale
mesmerised by the good feeling
his obscured vision of love
couldn't differ between words or places
memories that still haunt him at dawn
one common bite and 100 different faces
excruciating pain and smile on their faces
black dahlia flourished in my rose

befriend all tiny creatures
Befriend all tiny creatures
Open up your empathy genes
let the small ant live
OUCH!
Okay, not this small ant
because he was a biter
But befriend the moths, the butterflies,
the grasshoppers, the damsel flies,
be kind to the spider
allow her to build her gorgeous web
befriend the tiny ones
for who knows?
in an alternative universe
you might be wishing they were
all befriending you.

Befriend Everyone
Befriend everybody, make them like you
Do whatever you can, dance the old soft shoe
Make a peapod want to give you her brew
Embrace a cactus, loan a lizard your dew.
You never know when you will need a friend.
Some people do not have one to the lonely end.
Befriend everyone, some day you might need someone to help

Befriending the Beast
Jabberwock, oh jabberwock, how misunderstood you are
Fierce men come by to steal your head, but only leave a scar.
you yearn not for blood, but love I think,
a scratch beneath your chin.
But when men arrive with swords
you fight them on a whim.
Ignorant they are, dear wocky, scaly beast,
can't blame you now, my jabby friend, for making

Frenemy
‘Tis a tingle at the tips of thy lips where I shall plant a kiss,_
then slightly lick the curves and slopes of their mounds to partake _
of the taste of treachery that lingers with thee still.
Allow me to brush mine ears across the thoughts of thine mind to perceive the envy ‘twas

Fragile Crown
Have you—the uncounted colorless—truly crowned on us?
You seem to grin triumphantly from your fake castle.
But wait!
We won’t count on your temporary winning.
Life has trained us to befriend enemies:
Cancer, Chicken Fox, Small Fox, Chikungunya, Ebola,
Influenza, Malaria, Rubella, Roseola, SARS, HIV,
You name it…and Corona is of no difference!
Playing with fright, you’re so contagious, but

Life Means Life
Life only means life
when sorrow is sturdily liberated
from a fearful heart.
Yet the strongest heart valiantly beats
when life frees life
into liberated sadness,
not to fearlessly beat but
befriend sorrow.

To Ignore Or Befriend
If you live your life correctly,
death walks close by your side
To constantly remind you,
that time’s not on your side
Your choice on how to handle,
to ignore or then befriend
Will change your life completely
—as each day begins again

The Raven and the Coyote
The Raven and the Coyote
The Raven watched the moon. Her interest awoken by the sitting Coyote on the mountain ridge. The Coyote was the trickster, he should be dancing and creating havoc. He sat watching the raising moon since early dust. The piercing eyes of the Raven watched the subdued Coyote with great interest.

What Sleep Can'T Befriend
Are you the hero
of a recurring dream
Or the victim
of a life undone
Are you the ambassador
for all you esteem
Or a fugitive
—a soul on the run
Are you a real friend
beyond trial and strife
Whose allegiance
now stalwart defends
Are you the true master
of all your desires
Or the

Befriend Time
Never believe time is straight
Then time you will never hate
Control your time with all your might
Keep time well within your sight
Time is a shadow of mist
Filling our souls with lies
It’s March we cannot resist
Fight back and utilise
Time our enemy or our friend
Don’t ignore it, it will be your end
Time our friend will make

and i can't help but feel even sadder
