How long must he wait?How perversely exciting it used to be, in
the months after you made your decision
to abandon this hopeless situation
meaning [rueful laughter] the UK, not so much
the shattered bones of you and me
I was still hanging on, a faithful puppy
getting up early and heading out to Heathrow
to provide the welcome committee
and then I went straight to work?...

Missing The Good ThingThe good thing is I am never going to be crying,
But the truth is there is still this deep heartaching longing
For that very something with that very someone I am missing....

a little balm and a little honeyin every pack of pistachios there are
one or two shells which are resistant to
the fingernail the addictive leverage
the satisfying splitting apart
you put them aside and save them for later
meanwhile pick, click, chew and finally
return to the awkward ones
refusing to yield their treasure
curse them go ahead curse them you won't
be defeated, you will solve their riddle

Sweet SorrowBonnie Brown was in love with Charles, like black pearl clings to night,
So young and engaged to be married, like myriad stars, shining white.
They were active professionals, dwelling in a charming, bustling town;
As warbling charms orange noon, after pink mist clears, with no sound.
They had dreams of future and a family, like purple nights of...

Complicated girlCOMPLICATED GIRL
I woke up to the sound of water,
splashing on the floor...
I wonder what's got into her now
I jumped up as quickly as I could,
leaping from the bed...
Hoping that she's still here somehow
Bridge
What's my life becoming,
Where'd it all go wrong,
Isn't it a grand illusion anyway?
Chorus
So I will try to understand,
she's a...

Tangled up in youTangled up in blue Bob Dylan song contest
Tangled up in you
I remember the day I saw her,
running down the avenue...
Chestnut hair flowing in the air,
I was taken by the view
She was running late, ran by my gate,
saying how do you do....
I said, don't run away, come make my day,
turn...

Never PostedI wrote
then paused,
ball pen hovering—
the words too bare.
They sat
on yellow sheets,
unsealed and unsent
in little brown envelopes.
A line
meant for truth,
one for letting go,
another for quiet peace.
I wrote
“I miss you,”
maybe even “I love you,”
then crossed half the page.
Sometimes
I read through
the unsaid in my heart,
and almost sent a word.
Your name—
blue, unfading
crawl the old sheets,
but my voice never...

STAR IN HEAVEN
There is a star up in Heaven
Deeply nested in my lonely heart
I talk to it every night
Its beauty is ethereal
I still love you the same
The eternal bond is so unreal
It gives me the wings of a crane

Raak jy aan my - English translation includedRaak jy aan my
Die more son is ‘n kus op my wang
So sag soos ‘n veer, raak jy aan my
met die son en maak my verlang,
Die straal in die maan lig, streel my oë
So sag en teer, raak jy aan my
dat ek jou sien met ander oë.
Die wind waai en my omhels
So hou jy my...

Real Pain[Verse 1]
Everything you did, I kicked to the dust
Told me that you loved me, but that wasnt enough
Tired of bein’ second when you put them first
You let me down so much, now I got nothin’ to trust
You’d lie, say you comin', I’d sit and wait
But when I’m bleedin’ inside,...

RainI sit here thinking alone in the rain,
thinking of my sorrow, misery, and pain.
I sit here listening to the thunder crashing down,
knowing my life is better when you’re around.
As I sit here watching the storm roll on,
all I think about is you, and how you are gone.
As I look at the dark clouds above,
I sit...

A fence and an unforgettable memory2024.5.26
Sunday, My house was broke in.
The next day, you messaged me "Good morning".
Two hours later, I explained about the robbery.
"Invaded?? i went past and saw
The police van this morning.
I was a bit worried that
Something might have happened."
From that day, every evening,
You came to my place and stay till quite late.
You made sure I was protected,
Until...

Missing YouIt's a funny
strange thing
When you're not around
Like the lack
of a smile
On a circus clown
Or a ferris wheel,
With all empty seats
a candied apple, More tart than sweet
Like a merry-go-round
That looks kind of scary
Or that huge prize teddy
You're not here to carry
An amusement park, On a winters day
And as...

Missing YouMissing you is like missing a shot,
It's so very painful because everyone puts the blame of you,
It's been a little over 2 years since,
July 3, 2021,
You were able to see my mom get married again,
Though you weren't sitting in a chair down with us,
And you didn’t know how to use technology,
But I don't think you...
