All I Can Offer You
A thousand fair suitors all stab at your heart,
those poets of movement and jockeys of art.
The high-volume vendors who hustle romance,
splashing their canvas with color and dance.
The blasters of trumpets, gold banners unfurled,
they offer lush gardens in glistening worlds;
yes, bearers of torches and carvers of stone
who whisper their

What more do I have to offer?
Nothingness knows my name…
It shames me even when i’m in the middle of everyone
I lost all hope hopping for the kindest gestures
I’ve crawled between growling creatures
What more do I have to offer?
A space has turned out to be my home
I find welcome in the streets
I’m stripped naked all I once wore was

In the depths of silence, I have never been able to offer you much, have I, solitary traveler
In the depths of silence, I have never been able to offer you much, have I, solitary traveler,
I cannot brew healing potions for the wounds and scars gathered like memories on your skin,
I cannot forge mighty swords to chase away the demons that set your soul ablaze,
I cannot weave shields against betrayals that touch you

They Offer You Certainty As If It Is Not A Thing They Broke
Can you trust someone you have doubted in the past? It feels like asking a cracked mirror to show you the truth. Like setting your compass to a magnet and pretending the direction still means something. The apology might come, just in velvet, but still, you remember how cold the knife felt even before it

Life Is A One Time Offer
Life is a one time offer
Use it well to your advantage
Be an example to do good to others
In doing business, act with fairness
Extend help in times of calamity
Never become rich in the usury of others
Give love with a compassionate heart
Help those who cannot help themselves
Never be enamored of things temporal
Seek things which leads you to

Offer
Do you understand what becomes of me
when you give your love like an offer?
Unbeknownst to you this attachment feeds
standing now at the height of my father
How I fear you see the epitome
of rejection in my stature
Whether spoken or surreptitious be
I have given all to your nature

IRONY OF LIFE
People betrayed me because of what I don't have
Now they have what I want but can't give it to me
Kindness is who you are not what you have, take note
Common sense is not common but discrimination is
Discernment is the guild of a wise man every dawn.
Think different from others staying unique amidst
Behaving in a reasonable

Don't pull me when I offer you my hand
Illness you had,
made me sometimes mad.
But seeing you begin fat,
and laying you flat,
making speaking you like a rat.
But I fell inlove with how the amount of puppies and humans you pat.
And in the amount of happiness how you chat.
I was okay with it drifting away.
Because I love you.
And I'll always *protect* you.
That
