How many stars are in the nighttime sky
Millions, billions, trillions, gazillions?
Like my love for you my dearest soul
The answer in both cases is infinite
There are no boundaries
Since this old world began
No greater love has ever existed
One day, the world will know
Ours will be right up there among
The greatest love stories ever told
But we're not looking for fame or fortune
As long as we can express our love to each other
My dearest one, our love will survive
Our love will flourish
I wish there were other words
Words never before uttered
To describe how I feel, how I melt at your touch
How my whole world revolves around you
Until these words are added to Webster's
I will simply say, “I love you!”
Neocolonialism
I fell in love
It cost everything
The moment I lost myself
I've heard of wars were people take all you have. The ones you love, The things you like and sometimes even normalness and identity. What does it feel to ache to be normal to be comfortable. Things to be perfect... So that your mind will be sane.
I am dumb
I accept that
Like an illness with no cure
I know how it feels
When I don't know where it will be shot right here
Ohhhh
Too much traumas
Only to realise am on stage
Maybe a comedian
What do these producers want to watch
Hmmm
I am fooled
If the world was one billion
They will tell me there is no life.
If I gave a dream
They will destroy me
An idea
Cost a person
My own is theirs
They steal mine in gazillions
And give me rubbish... A handful and that is the worst love.
How many stars are in the nighttime sky
Millions, billions, trillions, gazillions?

shaking fairyland forest
gazillions of acorns sleet
are the squirrels playing slots —
Vegas on my roof.

Willie Wonka can no more hire any of us
Down he has gone with a bad case of the virus.
And we fear his magical factory will close
If we fail to take over the lease,I suppose
At this difficult crisis Covid -ridden time
Not to take over would be a serious crime
But what will you decide to make ?Somebody asks
What else but gazillions of reusable masks
Coloured with hopeful rainbows and marked NHS
That's just what is essentially needed ,I guess
With every welcome covering for a face
You would enter a draw for a trip into space
That would more than lift you both body and spirit
And would give you physical distancing with it
Gratitude
Generous honesty
Granting serenity
Goes all the way inside
Glows gathers Gaya earth
Glorious foundations
Grants gracious splendid gifts
Gives thanks to galaxy
Grows changes gains graces
Gazillions rewards
Generates momentum
Glances at peacekeeping
Game-changing composure
Galvanises strengthens
Goes forth and multiplies
Guess who wins in the end
Gathers love compassion
Guarding non-violence
Germinates truthfulness
Gobbles up aggression
Guides paths-ways and journey
Guarantees salvation

Thinking of girls in my life back then
Searching for beauty was no use
I'm sure one was from a horror movie
She possessed the appeal of a moose!
Promised I wouldn't mention names
But her first initial is Thelma
Had a huge wart on the tip of her nose
Gorgeous? What can I tell ya!
Let me explain 'bout that lovely schnoz
It was as long as from here to Tuesday
Protruding teeth, was missing a few
Just a little off white... good news eh!
Her eyes were kinda distracting too
Each looked in a different direction
Hair was stringy and different lengths
Blue lipstick and a very bad complexion!
So all in all, I guess you might say
Wasn't one of your ravishing beauties
Body odour like that of a koala
But as far as I could tell, no cooties!
Had some redeeming features though
She possessed a heart of pure gold
Would donate the shirt right off her back
Problem was it was smelly and old!
Sure could pick 'em way back when
Her daddy was worth a few million
So to me, Thelma was a raving beauty
Now my wife and I'm worth gazillions!

Dedicated To All The True Lovers Out There
How many stars are in the night sky
Millions, billions, trillions, gazillions?
Like my love for you my dearest soul
The answer in both cases is “unlimited”
There are no boundaries
Since this old world began
No greater love has ever existed
One day, the world will know
Ours will be right up there among
The greatest love stories ever told
But we're not looking for fame or fortune
As long as we can express our love to each other
My dearest one, our love will survive
Our love will flourish
I wish there were other words
Words never before uttered
To describe how I feel, how I melt at your touch
How my whole world revolves around you
Until these words are added to Webster's
I will simply say, “I love you!”

With a sleight of hand and a sparkle of light,
Our magic effortlessly evades every mortal’s site.
Incantations and chanting tongue incessantly flowing
Most are absolutely bewitched without ever knowing.
Sentiments of excitement weakness, and even awe.
Wonderment befalls all gape with an open jaw.
Tapping the wand and gesturing a hand about,
Mind-boggling flashes gazillions of colors throughout.
Suddenly, the juncture clear a single silhouette stands.
Romantically he gestures unhurriedly opening his hands.
Divine messenger’s murmur deafening thunder roars.
One finale undulation swift release uncovered it soars.
Floating star ward for each to witness and praise.
Creators’ creation it has only taken seven days.
Motionless yet descending now completely fulfilled.
Creator accomplished shroud away life begins thrilled.
Basically, this is a number
Adding too much to the
Zillions or gazillions of ... wait ... what exactly
Is it we're adding here? ... might be
Like the national debt or a
Little centipede counting ... hmm, or
Interest payments never to be made
On a war that will
Never end or are we just
Seeking sanctuary in a bazillion words?
