Is love an addiction?
Some say yes it is,
With no center for rehabilitation.
Some say no it can't be.
It is like meditation,
And soul attain salvation.
Some say it motivates,
Which help to upgrade.
Some say it is cancer,
Which repeatedly occcur.
Some say waste of time,
Never forget a stich in time saves nine.
Some say it is mind blowing,
But never an easygoing.
Some say it is a one way traffic,
But still it is terrific.
Idea of love uniquely unite all,
Each creature stands tall,
And finds no discrimination at all.
Death
Death you’re coming so nothing really matters
I’ll forgive my trespassers as and when.
Though it’s hard, and difficult, I will do this.
Because you have no timetable, I’m aware.
No point in not speaking or grudges to bear.
Even though people never fail to bewilder.
I’ll try and live the next day as if my last, but of course,
It depends totally on circumstances and my
Bad temper, and others lack of consideration.
Though they never seem to obey the rules
Of friendship and love, it’s all one-way traffic.
Well, let’s be honest, it’s their problem really
Not mine. To betray is the highest crime, but
It happens, day after day and is never ending.
Their fears drip on them and saturate, nothing
I can do about that. Promise me, well if you can
Make it quick, sudden, because, I’m not the bravest man.

Explain the rules,
All you callous ghouls,
What are rules?
Power games for you!
One way traffic, you see,
Why are you exploiting me?
Why can't you get someone better?
Write me your rules in a letter!
So, you callous ghouls,
You explain your rules,
Maybe there are no rules,
You made it all up to suit you,
You write down your rules!
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.”
- Dr. Seuss
Beams dim...beams bright
Headlights...too dark headlights!
Tyres screeching...eyes screaming terror’s thread
Sirens wailing a deafening... ‘Life’s under threat!’
A high speed chase onto one way traffic
Bells ringing...the crash paints chaos too graphic
Hurry, hurry...ambulance on the double!
On_off surviving grizzly-like-troubles
Fireman down the sliding pole... fire truck under the table
To the accident scene in the kitchen...survivors to unmangle
“Mommy...mommy have you seen the policeman?!”
“You ought to take better care of your toys young man!”

Casarah Nance's Dr. Seuss Quote Prompt
Another morning awakening,
Rolling down cloud blankets,
Down pouring,a mild rain,
Keeping the Sun one way traffic,
No cloud,
No thunder,
No lightening,
Down pouring,mild rain,
The wings of flys becoming wet,
Burden bit,
Drops of snow sitting on their back on thrones,
Shining like gems,
Painless,
The King silence in the ruling,
No cloud,no thunder and no lightening,
Down pouring snow rain!
Good deeds are for our completion
The pleasure is immense a true satisfaction
Looking at the receiver would be elation
Their enormous smile leaves you in dissipation
If you could be at the right moment that in itself is a sanction
Good deed a one way traffic in succession
Nothing expected something achieved is an inspiration
Education to the child in need is a realization
A future well planned is an execution
Hunger satiated is a dreamy jubilation
One should be blessed to be there for all these contribution
Winter months show you the needy in desperation
When reached,you see their gratification
These are the simple feelings in revelation
That one needs in life to sustain consideration
Share and you live in compensation….. sunkan
Why is it that when I think about you
I find my self inanely grinning
Yet I get nothing back from you
That would get my giddy head spinning
I can’t go on getting nothing back
I have wasted too much time on you
I need to feel your love, but I don’t
So breaking up is the only thing to do
Breaking up is hard to do, so says the song
But that doesn’t apply in this case
For when I tell that our affair is over
No hint of emotion shows on your face
I should perhaps have realised
Your heart was not there for the winning
But blinded by my love I didn’t notice
You were indifferent from the beginning
