The Scorpion's Life Lesson
Let me tell you my story
Not that it covers me in glory
Looking to be ferried across a river
A frog took me on board as long as I stung him never
Halfway across we were chatting happily
When the temptation to bite his neck came snappily
And loth to miss such a chance
My fangs plunged him into his

Life Lesson
Sometimes, one should accept
That gain is not only in terms of money
But in terms of experience;
A lesson that could help him sail
Along the oceans of storms
For the rest of his life.
It is not about not falling down
For no one is perfect
But it's about standing up after each

Greed
Those who wish for everything, discover nothing.
Those who seek the most find the least.
Those who desire recognition learn ignorance.
Those who pursue solidarity obtain peace.

Life Lesson
Get it together!
You cant live with anger.
Life has tolls, ups and downs.
The heart should not be bitter,
but sweet and full of love.
Laugh often,
Hug, kiss, gather and show compassion.
Live not of the worldly things,
live with what makes you heart full.
As a bluebird sings and the leaves blow,
Hear the beautiful noises as the weather changes.

Why I Walked Away
I walked away, once I realized it's not like before...
I walked away as I saw emptiness in your eyes,
I walked away, the day you treated me like nobody...
I walked away, once you told me you don't feel the same...
I walked away, as you said I'm being sensitive,
I walked away when you didn't care to understand,
I

Do You Love You
Do you love you? Ask it true
Before you love, cast love anew
If not for self, how love to gain
From others, love will seem in vain
Love all that you, imperfections, and flaws
Embrace them, give yourself applause
For when you love, it's plain to see
Love from others, will come naturally
Take a moment, look deep within
Ask yourself, do you

An Injustice By Romance
She is ten years my senior technically she is a mother figure more than a lover.
Therefore l expect her kisses tender like lavender and maybe a member of November rains and smiles , but no!
She is something like an Oliver Twist story , begging and begging for something she knows life will never give that

Master Gardener
Her dad was the kindest, gentlest man she ever knew…he was always humble…never mean…he could grow anything in his garden…he was born with his two thumbs…green.
He often told her the important lessons of life…those you really need to know…can be found by planting a garden and watching the flowers grow.
A garden teaches you to participate

Don'T Tease
Wait, I won't open the door of the sky
It's heaven of peace
The ground you are living is firing
It's burning fire pitch
War, the war makes you hero
Both of dead and alive soldiers,
Gives nothing the war except destroying
The peace of living gone too far
Draw the democratic field feeding the corpse
Don't tease the sky by your mind of

Life Lesson
Tup tup tup, Her flimsy wings flutter
Tik tik tik, She knocks the inner door
Appears to connote life lessons
Could be heard only if we listen
Tethered her body and mind inside dark chrysalis
But blissful life, her soul envisaged and analysed
Soon emerges from a monochrome cocoon
And gracefully dances to the heavenly tune
Jumps across the colorful ixora flowers
Life saving

Secret of the Knees
What makes a good mother?
What makes a good home?
Her granddaughter asked
A woman always on her knees my child
For pretty faces in time get old
And bodies eventually age
But past all that what really keeps
Is the character built upon her knees
A pillar she must be for many you see
A source of strength and comfort too
And she herself
