Her dress was magnificent; it showed off her skin
And the green of her eyes. It went well with her lipstick.
He tried his best to talk her out of it.
I never liked phthalo, he said. But she laughed.
Periwinkle? He guessed. She laughed again.
Persian blue? Twinge-let, her parrot said. They both laughed.
You are not talking me out of it, she told him.
I feel sexy and happy, and you will love all the attention
it will give you.
His boss and his boss’s boss could not keep their eyes
off of her.
He did not like it at all!
It is zaffre, she told him afterwards. I will wear it often
and whenever I like. If you want me you will have to get used to it.
Zaffre must be a magical color, he thought, but he got used to it
because he loved her.
They sit and lay beneath the cool shade
Of cypress trees, around the exposed roots
And feathered foliage on beach blankets,
With backpacks, picnic basket full of snacks,
Sandwiches, and drink. Very relaxed.
The chatter sounds, shouts and laughter,
Like a flock of birds on tree boughs,
Making tracks to the Blue hole
A clear blue-green watery playground.
It's quite cool, but you get used to it quickly,
Especially on a hot summer day of swimming.
In swim suits or cut-off jeans, they swing out
On the rope swing, hanging of a limb.
Or, jumping off the edge of the bank,
Into the glistening surface of the water below,
Breaking the surface.
A lot of fun and no one gets hurt.
The light starts slowly etching by and wild gray
And fire color flow through the horizon.
It all comes to an end and the ride home is quiet.

If you have a sleep disorder, I strongly advise that you have it checked
Apparently, if it is serious enough, it can even lead to death
Was diagnosed with very serious "sleep apnea" a while ago
The treatment, is extremely difficult to get used to
Ever try sleeping with two plastic thingies stuck up your nose
I guess I'll get used to it eventually
People that have been using a machine like this for years
Swear by it and tell me the results will be fantastic... like night and day
But I must be patient and persevere. It will take a little while to get used to
Really? Are you saying eventually I won't notice these thingies up my nose?
Maybe if I drug myself till I think I'm a fairy princess
Or a famous Shakespearean actor in tights
I'm willing to give it a shot! Oops! Sorry, lost my train of thought there
The thought of me prancing around as a fairy princess
Has always kind of appealed to me... oops!
I mean, as a Prince Charming
Now back to my sleep apnea, wish me luck
It's supposed to make me more rested, sweet and happy
SO GET OUT OF MY FACE TILL THEN YOU GUYS!
We must be patient, this is not going to happen overnight!

Dead Sure About life
David J Walker
I am dead sure that
The only thing
to write about on the
Otherside
is life
What is there to talk about
That would compare to
perfection
What is there to anticipate in an eternity
that hasn’t already happened
With infinite tomorrows
How good can I feel with
unjuxtaposed sorrows
In a room with stained glass windows
That never open
My halo
Although adjustable
Never seems to fit the way it should
Mother says not to complain
I will get used to it
Father says he finally threw his away
And Nobody noticed
What is there to write about except life
And how often we failed at it
Don't know if you've ever had this affliction
This affliction called Grumble Tummy
Sometimes quite humorous how it vocalizes
With some very strange sounds quite funny
Haven't got a clue what's going on down there
Thought it might be constructing a dam
In an attempt to divert some stuff it's not fond of
Like beets and brussels sprouts from a can
Don't think it appreciates processing that stuff
Would rather have ice cream and pop
Guess it's not wild bout my changing lifestyle
It moans and grumbles nonstop
Told my tummy you better get used to it
It's what you can expect from now on
Asked to keep the grumbling down to a roar
But it's allowed from bedtime till dawn

Good night, sleep tight.
Don't let bug bites.
Avo was unhappy and said
"I thought I was his favorite,
But no, not really.
I have been ignored
Just like the rest of you all"
"Poor C33, she has to cope with us
All by herself". Chilli added.
Banana snapped back
"That's life, get used to it.
Just like the song sang by
Teresa Teng "Forget him".
"Not many people love us forever,
You know." Pear jumped in.
"Yes. It is a tough tough world out there.
Justice is for the rich.
They own and control almost everythings...
I think" Plum said
By now, avo was weeping
And the rest of the fruits were.....
Good night sweet heart,
Tomorrow is another day,
Life moves on, and time never stays.
Sweet heart, let me sing you Brahms lullaby.
"Lullaby, my sweetheart......
Tears run down as the curtains fall on the stage.
As she swallows all the tears down her throat.
She continues to sing
"Say good night. Say goodbye,
Oh my darling, have a good night,
I will see you, in the morning
We are going to have some fun.
As you grow, every day,
I will be with you as always,
I'll never and never
Leave you all by yourself.
Lullaby, my sweetheart,
Oh my baby, a sweet night.
Now I laid you, down to your crib.
I'll see you when the day's begun.
As you go, every where.
I will be right by your side.
As you know, I love you
And for sure I will always do.".
Lullaby, lullaby,
Oh my baby, sleep tight.
In the morning, when the sun rises.
It will be another happy day.
Oh my darling, the angels guard.
As you dream in your good sleep,
Tomorrow, when you wake up
I'll be right here with you.
Thank you Mr Author,
The lyric was written as you requested before.
The office is cold, sterile
smells like the previous patient
The wait isn't bad, you get used to it
The questions keep coming like a string of tennis balls
You hope it will lead to answers
to explain your changing body
which silently moans
The answers come as quickly as the questions
The shoulders relax
The body is silent, barely a whimper
The mind is satisfied and the heart feels lighter
Thank you, Doctor
The gown and the sheet are bunched up
To prepare for the next patient
Who will endure the questions once more
Hope they too get the answers they need.

I got cayenne in my coffee
and I served it up myself
I mixed it up with the cinnamon
and it sure woke up my mouth
You kept me up all night again
but only in my dreams
it seems you are not done with me
so 5th dimension is the only means
[Chorus]
Life is truely different
when you open your third eye
It takes on different meanings
when you stop sorting with pride
realize you are always a student
and the lessons are served up
be eager to get on with it
and for your next glow-up
[verse]
Whatever your dust-up
get up, do it
just get to it
life marches on
you get used to it
I am here if you choose
and this won't ever go away
and it will always be this intense
that's the twin flame way
Spiritually awake
you can now explore
and unexpected lessons
will show up at your door
I did not start it
I am merely a catalyst
my job here is as teacher
the divines right hand
I show up when needed
and in divine time
but a glow-up is needed
for us to combine
You have to match my energy
You have to be on my verve
you gotta have some game
gotta gotta gotta have that nerve
AH, AH, AH, AH OHHHH
[verse]
I did not create this script
it comes from up there
we live to level up
or we get left in the dust
We keep coming back
to the drawing board
and presented the same lesson again
till its like we are bored
You gotta gotta have that nerve
you have to have verve
you have to match my energy
you gotta have some game
[verse]
Whatever your dust up
get up, do it
just get to it
just get to it
just get to it
just get to it
I am here if you choose
to get up do it, just get to it
life marches on
you get used to it
I am here if you choose
and this won't ever go away
and it will always be this intense
that's the twin flame way
and it will always be this intense
that's the twin flame way
Spiritually awake
you can now explore
and unexpected lessons
will show up at your door
will show up at your door
I did not start it
I am merely a catalyst
my job here is as teacher
the divines right hand
I show up when needed
and in divine time
but a glow-u is needed
for us to combine
You gotta get to it
gotta get down an do it
get on it
just do it
do it
comon - just do it
do it, do it, do it, do it YEAH!
[music fades]
Expectations
No rest
No time to breathe
A weight on your chest
Nothing less than excellence
Even that's not enough
A world that tells black people
That even if you follow the rules
You are still not good enough
Because as long as your black
They will always have the last laugh
In a world that preaches equality
It sure is a hypocrite
From young we are taught that life is a test
That no matter how hard we work
We will always be seen as less
Even with perfect scores we still come last
A crooked system used to keep us at the bottom
A crooked system used to make sure our life is a struggle
A box with no key deprived of freedom
Locked in with chains so we can't outshine them
Doing everything in their power
To watch us sink
In an ocean that steals our breath
Drowning in a watery abyss
A constant fight to stay afloat
Whilst they just stare at us
A fight that isn't fair
The water keeps us suppressed
So everytime we open our mouth
The water sinks our words
Just like everytime we try to speak
We are labelled dramatic
All this happening whilst the weight of their hate
Slowly drowns us to death
In a world that claims progression
The education system sets us back
Policing black children
Whilst holding us back
So all the white kids can succeed
Then tell us we will never amount to anything
That all we are good for is a prison sentence
Drilling inferiority straight into our chest
To make sure discrimination is the only education we will get
The only lesson received is how racism will never end
The syllabus being slurs and all the different ways we are hated
Buy something they seem to forget
Is we have legacies of strength
We are stronger than the hate that you threat
You push us down and yet we continously get up
We are made of tungsten the strongest element
You think you can break us
Your hate will break instead
You try to steal our breath
But our oxygen tank is unlimited
We are here for the long run
You'll just have to get used to it
We are here to stay
And we will never let you forget
Why don’t I feel sad …why don’t I sit and cry
I am simply in limbo
Our lives have changed forever
Mum has moved out of her home
She couldn’t stay in the house with you no longer there
She kept expecting to see you in your armchair or standing by the window
I have no tears to cry …
Guess I shed them in the weeks before you died
After 18 years of helping you both my life is back to being mine
I am sure in time I will get used to it
But now I simply feel empty and confused
Death is a part of the cycle of life
I thought it would be easier for me now you are gone
But it’s harder than ever
