In your mind you conclude that
'this one is a dried bone'.
And you look at me as if am alone, 
But i have got back bone that makes 
Me rise.

I rise! for i am the glittering shining rising star.
I am the African sunrise
I am the future...

Hailey was so much impressed by Saint John that thinking of him was an eager excitement. She talked with him always stirred, becoming twice the lady she was, with the hand missing glasses and whenever close to him feeling idyllically calm and peaceful. No-stress. Yes,...

the road to her was not easy
the valleys of her mind were not smooth ones
there were times when love smelled like new suitcases
there were times when hate and its pungency was the freshest scent
however here we still remain wrapped in each others arms
how we can...

IT AIN’T ALL THAT    

That’s all
As the rain responds to a rose’s call
That’s all
Since the only way I can get to her is to knock down another wall
And that’s all as far as I can see
That’s all and I’ve had enough if...

If the moon rose in the morning
      and the sun in the evening
    without the least warning
      What would folks be perceiving
  
    Would they be disbelieving

I see you there in despair my dear friend
medical needs, kids to feed, job now lost
I will get you food no matter the cost

It doesn't always work all of the time.
I can't recall a day in my 2 weeks here
that I've successfully managed to suspend my decline.
I go to work in my usual way,
I stare down to the ground as I make my way,
but more times than none...

I am in love with a smile,
That fills my stomach with butterflies,
I stare back, unconscious,
A smile hidden behind a disguise,

I am love with a pair of eyes,
That look at me now with hate,
I search for that little sparkle,
A sparkle that was left to disintegrate,

Quarantined, you're stuck behind panes of glass,

depriving you of physical contact.

Goodbyes get exchanged like a fumbled pass,

sorta clumsy, putting on a brave act.

Ah, maw, we’ll visit you here on the grass

however long it takes, and that's a fact.

Life bustling all around me
As fast and unhinged as I once was
Seems crazy that I was caught up
Entranced within the walls
Of that fanatical maze
Sold on the idea
More is better and faster is smarter
That’s a pace for the young
Going nowhere fast
I wouldn’t switch my age
With just...

She was the greatest kisser ever, but I tend to focus on flaws,
and she had the biggest Adams apple that I ever saw....

However you do it, just get away
Regularly do it, and for a whole day

Get away from routine
Get off of your screen
Put down that device
Please take my advice

Live in the moment. Ditch the stress
You can't predict the future or change the past

Do it this week, and...
