Where Nothing Happens
here, between myself and myself,
God dwells when
He flees the world.
I found Him once
in a forgotten loaf of bread
on the steps of a hospice,
in an old woman asking forgiveness
for simply living.
He did not ask who I am.
He touched my brow
and retreated back into the wound.
we do not think.
we defend ourselves from thoughts
as from a

This is what happens when I've you more
I’ve run into this truth three times now
I know I’m hard to love.
But every I love you I ever gave
Was carved from the depths of my soul.
It wasn’t light.
It wasn’t fleeting.
It was real.
And it hurt.
Reading old messages,
Seeing your name,
Thinking of being with you—
It tears through me
Like love turned blade.
Each memory driving it deeper.
It got unbearable.
Not

LIFE AS IT HAPPENS
BAD THINGS HAPPEN AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIME.
WE CALL IT MURPHY'S LAW, BAD LUCK, EVEN KARMA.
GOOD THINGS HAPPEN, AND WE REFER TO IT AS SERENDIPITY,
MIRACLES OR A FORTUNATE EVENT.
BE IN THE MOMENT AND EMBRACE THE DAY AS IT COMES.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT GOD WILL SURPRISE YOU WITH.

Don't You Hate When This Happens
A burr stuck smack-dab in the back
of his white tuxedo
Everyone pointing at it
He couldn’t quite reach it though
Balked at removing his tux

When Something Special Happens again, and again, finally
We said goodbye to August, 2015, and in that year we shared
The day we met, our futures set, in unison we're declared
That Christmas came and went, knowing we'd share it soon
Eight Thousand Miles apart, it felt like we were on the Moon
Twenty Sixteen we've entered, as we work towards that day
The day we chose, June

When Something Special Happens again, and again
Now for the long flight home feeling lost in present roam
Reliving our past days, weeks, my minds in wanting comb
Her smile, her charm, her look of warm, inviting adorn
We walked, we talked, but we never baulked our future born
Now eight thousand miles from each other, but, just yesterday
We joked, we laughed, we kissed, we cried,

When Something Special Happens again
We were worlds apart, yet when words were selected
Something special happened, and we became elected
We chatted about our families, us in generalisation
Our works, our likes, our wants, to familiarisation
Next thing we knew, I, flight booked, nigh on 8000 miles
Upon landing at 'Ninoy' to be met with hundreds of smiles
McBlimey, I said to myself, is Eloisa

Hate Happens
The group you are in did not win
Now your mind begins to unwind
Fear grows for "They" are different
Dangerous and a threat akin
To a fascist re-emergence
The things you hate about the winner
Are the things you fear lie within
So you project onto others
The motives you've repressed as sin
Feeling powerless and ashamed
You lash out hiding from inner pain
Seeking

Life happens
Life happens
Life is beautiful oh yes it is
Life is this life is that they say
But how many are living nowadays
What is the Cost of our freedom
Are we born to pay
How can we deal with all this net of debt world wide
What is the escape root to our global poverty

What Happens, Happens
Written By: D. Collins 12/24/24
What happens to us will happen to us, alone.
Through every day of our lives, until we're gone.
Each path is different for every one of us.
What happens will be fate, or a stroke of luck.
There'll be times when bad fate rears its ugly head.
That's when we learn that we're so ill-prepared.
We

Life Happens
Life happens people come, and go, Some are self absorbed, also people are plain out of touch.. Life happens
Criticism, Fears, Insecurities, Don't take it personally. Life happens
Obstacles often may hinder one's journey yet don't lose
one's self-worth, Keep uplifting yourself without anyone's
approval. Life

Love Happens
Scribbling in my writer's cafe,
Love happens along our way,
It's a keyboard pixie society,
You're a charming man,
Disarming, you can,
Cannot measure bliss,
"No Spring chicken, miss!"
Specks in vast universe,
Lovers love this verse,
Plan our pleasure today,
Love happens along the way.
