Flight of a Butterfly

Slowly walking the path of life,
winging with challenge, joy, and strife.
I came upon a butterfly,
floating, flittering in the sky.

So lightly gliding through the air,
I came to a stop, just to stare.
Created with such symmetry,
designed to live a life so free.

Like a butterfly’s flight in wind,
harder at first than in the end.
Life is seen by our

You Left Me Breathless

You Left Me Breathless

your beauty overwhelmed me
your life was so carefree
I loved you more than you did know
perhaps I told you more than show

when you said goodbye
tears fell from the sky
with you I was so blessed
without you I am so breathless

Reflecting on Carefree days

Looking deep into your invitingly, 
warm, brown eyes, I suddenly felt 
intoxicated, as if I were drunk,
Drunk, dizzy, and unbalanced,
Unbalanced, I stumbled right into an 
old tree,
Tree, it wasn’t any old tree; it was 
the tall palm tree, our secret meeting 
place.

Place, a heart-shaped rose garden, 
where endless hours of daydreaming 
and making plans,
Plans of

Summer Never Lasts

what if what we had was temporary
a momentary glance of happiness
of freedom
of joy 
of reckless youth
a time of love and carelessness

maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay


maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.



Maybe the sun never rose up again after it set that summer.

Broken and shattered

Though, broken and shattered, we could see,
But, waters of life, still flow there free,
Only ghosts do come,
To fetch and drink some,
Meanwhile, the owners left it carefree.

at the end of the day

put up my feet and tune out
my favourite music in the background
forget the daily grind
no worries no busy mind
brush free the day's cobwebs
smile to myself and relax
shake off the weight of the world

Barefoot On The Edge Of Innocence

barefoot on the edge of innocence, 
laughter spilling like petals  
in a summer breeze. 

eyes glinting with mischief,  
a wildflower in a garden of rules,  
her spirit ignites whispers—  
soft shadows of temptation  
wrapped in the silk of youth. 

men glance,  
hungry eyes tracing the curve  
of youth,

Carefree Single

Young and athletic
You just showing your biceps
Young girls smile shy.

Fun In The Sun

Laid out on the beach in that warm tropical sun
Winter is on hold, while I am here to experience heaven and have some fun
The ocean waters with their bright colours call out to me to take a dip
First I must finish my mai tai with one last sip
My whole body I hope soon will turn

Puddles

Fat drops pellet the ground.
Steps splashing, scattering ripples.
Ripples in time, circling out
from the moment, the here, the now, the present.
The present of laughter,
sheer joy at being a child
being cuddled by fat drops
that ripple in rings, then retreat
once memories fade.

Carefree

  I should not like to be carefree
                           for then no one would care about me

The Butterfly

I looked out my window,
	At the gloomy grey sky.
When I saw a butterfly,
	Flitting blissfully by.

Unfettered by worries,
	Not shackled by woe,
A blithe Lepidoptera,
	And its aerial show.

The patter of raindrops,
	Fazed it not a bit,
Blithely it glided,
	On my window did sit.

Ever so nonchalantly,
	It fluttered its wings.
Not a care in the world,
	What a fortunate thing!

 If only my soul,
	Could

Happy Go Lucky Plucky

Be easygoing, jovial, beaming good cheer,
With a happy-go-lucky coat hiding gloom's smear.
Beaming a carefree heart, shining a joyful grin,
Let's rekindle the joyousness that lies within.

No troubles too heavy, no burdens too large,
Can quell a positive attitude in charge,
That finds joyfulness in the simplest recall,
Of revered and cherished good times, big and small.

All it takes is

Happy-Go-Lucky Alive and Free

Happy-go-lucky alive and free

Joyful in all weathers
Embracing the silver lining
Skipping, joie de vivre
Spirit enlivening, vibrant, rejoicing
