Sydney my citySydney my love, Sydney my city
Splendour and majesty, nothing such pretty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city.
First rays of the sun, spread here fun.
Opera, Harbour Bridge, Blue Mountain.
Pretty pretty places, plenty plenty beauty.
Sydney my love, Sydney my city
Clean clean beaches, green green trees,
Pleasant weather, cool cool breeze.
Kissing the shores, sea waives sporty.

Ode to SilenceYou drown out every noise,
In stillness, we hear your voice.
This is the seeker’s guide,
For those in search of the truth.
You open the door to the light,
We emerge from the recalcitrant night,
To find the treasures we seek
And the pathway to Zion’s gate.
You summon the...

Symphony of whispersIn a world of noise where the distractions reign,
Amidst the proliferation of mobile phones,
You find your haven, a refuge from the din,
In the depths of quiet, where your spirit roams.
While parties surge like waves upon the shore,
And social media dances, a fickle flame,
Your...

Ode to the Quiet FlameO soul unbound by pomp or praise,
You walk the earth in humble ways—
No jeweled crown, no trumpet sound,
Yet peace and warmth in you are found.
Where others rush with tangled aim,
You breathe with calm, you speak with flame
Of steady hope and open skies,
A...

Ode to a New DayYou beckon to me, and I respond.
You open the door and take me by the hand.
You guide me as I see, learn, and sometimes comprehend.
You script and unfurl,
And I play my role, desiring to add my lines.
The elements, like soldiers, carry out their duties— ...

Ode to Self-Esteem
O, Self-Esteem, elusive, fragile grace,
A quiet strength that lights the inner space.
No gilded crown, no trinket bought and sold,
But inner worth, a story to unfold.
You are the root from which true courage springs,
The steady hum when life's harsh discord rings.
Without your touch, the finest talents dim,
A whispered "no" before the race begins.
You don't demand perfection,...

Self EsteemShe rises, she rises like the sun that knows no shame,
this woman-teacher-poet-mother-flame,
her soul vast as the sky that holds all storms
yet gentle as the dewdrop kissing the earth at dawn.
O Universe, behold your daughter who has learned
the sacred secret whispered by the wind,
that worth is not a treasure buried deep
but seed-song scattered wide like prayers...

Ode to my selfThere's a lonely shadow here.
Its on my wall, down a narrow
staircase, and down the hall.
I'm never lonely, I just lose myself.
Down another hallway that leads Stright to hell.
and wouldn't relinquish what id never sell, so
Theres a fire burning its my own personal hell.
so I'm walking backwards now, trying to find my self
but my vision...

ODE TO THE BALD AND BEAUTIFULHe primps that dome like it’s his crown,
A shiny orb, the talk of town.
Shaves that bowling ball twice a day,
No rogue hairs dare to stay.
Refined olive oil, scentless, slick—
His scalp’s own secret, glossy trick.
Then Axe spray rains, a scented storm,
Because the ladies find that charm.
Post-shower, towel wraps so neat,
Humidity’s spa for his heat.
Pores open wide,...

ODE TO A LOYAL DREAMERIn Alabama’s warm embrace, you stood,
Barefoot and bold, with heart and soul imbued.
A flame unwavering, steady and bright,
You chase the shadows, bring dreams to light.
Devoted hand in hand, you never roam,
Her spark, your anchor, your guiding home.
Through roaring crowds and neon gleam,
You carry her love in every dream.
With passion fierce, you seek and find,
The sacred...

I Glowed Within My OdeI am always willing to learn, I am curious to learn about myself
And I am man enough to admit when I need help
Accepting of my mistakes even if I don't know what it’s for
My radiant smile will always testify to me being honest and filled with candor
And I know how to adjust, my personality never...

An Ode to My See-Through MindMy head has always been made of glass,
and inside it lives a faint idea of who I am.
She used to be a silhouette,
but even then she wasn’t very defined.
In eighth grade, I believed that she lived in the shadows,
because showing herself felt heavier
than living in the trenches of our own mind.
In a way, she was...
