Saturday is made for relaxing.
Every princess chills on her day off.
Glamorous beauty's a chosen lifestyle.

Standing alone at night on the window
As I look at the bright moon
I think that you would be doing the same
Hope it isn't a counterclaim
It feels like you come beside me soon
I can feel that shiver deep
The thought of not having you around
Surely makes me asleep
My girl longing for your touch
My love for you is such
The thoughts are nice
Just that you are feis Wems
Getting lust overprice; mad oo like you are in love
It would only make things worse and land you in a slough
Make money
It may not give all
But will make romances honey
That's what lasting bond befall
This is a modern era
Love needs it for bond not to collapse in depression like a caldera
Abi na lie¿
Having lived the sedentary lifestyle
for more than quite a while
and hoping it was not too late
I plumped for the thought
of losing weight
as rotund about the middle
I'd become quite stout
joined the gym but couldn't go
so it didn't work out
I ride my winged horse beneath the moon,
With faery fiddles and spirited tunes.
My cowgirl heart and fancy flame,
Wild with glee, they're one and the same.
Sing with winds, play in trees,
Whisper Ogham across the breeze.
Clouds above and oceans below,
Guide this faery wherever she goes.
I see the western sun arise
With faery wings in morning skies.
Crossing the forests, flowing orbs,
Dreamy trails where emotions are absorbed.
Sing windswept, climb the trees,
Whisper Ogham in the breeze.
Clouds above and oceans below,
Guide this faery wherever she goes.
The Oak Grove is my range, dark and old,
With owls and horses bold,
Cowboy blues and faery songs
Will keep the prarie rolling on.
Golden treasure found in the dawn
Faeries in ocean waves carry on.
Golden sparkles and diamonds plead
For riches, that freedom to be me.
Sing with rainbows and climb the trees.
Whisper Ogham in the breeze.
Clouds above and oceans below
Guide faeries wherever they go.
My cowgirl heart is a free faery
In a magic lifestyle meant for me!
Tasteless money, has become like honey
Drugs and all, makes them fall.
No selling of honey
and you will taste no money.
A life gone in a moment, killed by the man
You didn’t serve him; he takes a life because he can.
A gun and a pill, they use at will
No regard for a life, or a wife
They take a pill, and rape a girl
Fatherless boys, motherless girls
They live a life of drugs and pills.
Violence is the order of the day,
you respect them, but they kill anyway.
They live like an animal,
they see their own as disposable.
Life means nothing at all,
whether you stand or fall
Once a gang member,
you are going to have to remember
A life of violence and drugs,
means becoming one of these thugs.
Once you purpose is fulfilled,
there will be nothing but your blood that’s spilled.
I'm a wild nomadic rocker
stratocaster guitar is my one true friend
~ trailblazing through this lifelong journey

We never faked it
always keeping it real
When we get, we ball
When we don't have, we work hard
Life is dually; High or low
Good or bad times, win or lose
We're always ready for anything.
No racing with any
Steadily thriving in our lane
Because we've got no mate
Never to be limited, we're unlimited
For we got taste, depending on our fate.
Zero competition
No confusion
We pray with faith
Showing no hate
For we know our weight
Even without debate.
Let’s get this show on the road,
The car's still empty and we can't seem to load
Susie's applying makeup, Jake’s playing video games,
Mary’s scrolling her socials, where friends call her names.
I want to get to the airport, I want to be
clambering into an Impressionist painting of the sea
Ride the chestnut ponies, get back to something real,
My kids are in a rabbit hole, they forgot how life can feel.
(Chorus)
We're on an oven burner, like a doomed toad—
So let’s get out of here, get this show on the road,
We'll ride wild ponies, neighing by the sea.
We'll go back to living, we'll go back to free.
It helps sometimes to leave a comfort zone,
Children connected to the whole world, but to me they seem alone.
The old ways had their wisdom, and a simpler moral code,
Let’s flip this circus upside down; get this show back on the road.
Can't get you to understand.
I already know your kind.
You're really blind.
Maybe, a sign,
to you, will be given.
To make you change,
your way of living.
I'm through with always giving.
It's only your grave,
that you're digging.
my neighbour was a simple woman
quiet and modest in all ways
she led the kind of life
that most would never envy
from nine to five she'd pay her dues
but then on weekends would come to life
she'd get dolled up and put on heels
and turn into a real live beauty queen

Yesterday I thought of going to the gym
for a minute considered going for a swim
then I remembered I had better things to do
convinced I could come up with a thing or two
Today I was thinking again of going to the gym
but soon gave up on that reckless silly whim
instead stayed home to bake a chocolate cake
planned our supper and thawed a ribeye steak
Tomorrow I'll likely consider going to the gym
but save myself the trouble and just pretend I'm slim
afterall life's too short to waste it breaking in a sweat
while cocktail glasses await to be filled with somethin' wet

Many foreigners living in the Philippines
Quite for a long time now
Come, visit us here anytime
Many months, many years
It will be in your style
Surely, you will find yourself in tropical island
Sipping island made rum
Sun bathing in a beautiful sandy beaches
Picnicking, dining and boodle fighting
Lodging in those affordable affluence hotel
If settled, find your soulmate
Or better still, marry a Filipino woman
Thank you for loving Philippines.
Narcissism
Oh, there are so many bad definitions
Narcissism is not an egoism or selfishness
Ask please Salvadore Dali, the painter
Condemning false ascertainment, it’s love
lifestyle, a style, what gives a protection
Help others, create new things here and there
And, and
the Love
Be health
and, and
Feel well
A waiter
A broker
A trader
An actor
An artist
Must be
magnetic,
good looking
for positive
feedback.
LIFESTYLE BALANCE
Apples, oranges and banana's to,
Strawberries are so delicious,
And are very good for you.
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and some celery,
Make tasty salad dishes for you and me.
Potatoes, carrotts, mushrooms and peas,
A very healthy casserole,
I'll have some, "Yes, please!"
Vitamins are good for your bones, hair and skin,
It is important to eat healthily,
And also for your organs within.
A treat or two, is also fine,
Just occasionally,
Makes it taste more devine!
A walk outside is also refreshing,
Take in the beautiful nature,
Let's hear the birds sing.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
My first poetry book :
Little Daisy Poetry by Daisy Meadows available on Amazon
I arrived to the University, college times behind me as life happens so fast.....
As I started walking...
wandering...
dreaming...
exploring...
exciting....
learning...
timing...
counting....
but Keep looking....
wondering...
As I pass by the others …
they are laughing...chatting...enjoying
but I alone with the same thoughts...
I keeping going and thinking again and again there's a missing piece..
An unspoken question flicked in mind said
"Where I ought to go?"
