Waking up early steals your sleep, but sleeping too long steals your peace
Waking up early steals your sleep, but sleeping too long steals your peace,
Like a morning thief leaving shadows in place of unfulfilled dreams,
Movement makes you feel pain in your muscles, but stillness weakens you,
Like a stone statue crumbling under the weight of time, without motion.
Earning money requires time and effort, but lacking it steals your

Witch Steals Kids Candies
The corpulent witch was laughing herself practically sick.
Her striped socks made her thighs look unusually thick.
I stole the kid’s candies, and I had a smooth booking.
She bragged this loudly not seeing a child looking.
The child told other children, and they formed a plan.
They tricked the witch into becoming part of their clan.
We have her now!

Who Steals Justice
We don't know who steals justice
But we know who steals your heart
Greed steals your heart
And your heart steals justice
At the very beginning
Conspiracy is set
Unfair rules are set
Overlapping and overlapping
Overrule and overrule
It takes tremendous time and effort
To discard them one by one
Greed is just like cancer
Which spreads and spreads
A long suffer indeed
Before it's cured

Depression Steals Real Lives
Depression kills
Real lives.
Depression steals
Real lives.
Self-punishment
Is not the answer.
Self-fulfillment
Is the profound desire
To love oneself, to be proud,
To hope and to cry out loud
That happiness and success
Are waiting near the corner.
Suicide is evidently not the answer.
Joy can neutralize anxiety, anguish and anger.
Depression is a bad disease, take it seriously.
Nothing is simplistic, simple or easy
In life. Stay

Debonair Dog Steals the Show
Debonair Dog sauntered into flower show at quarter to three
We offered her a glass of divinely suited lemon tea.
As she held the cup, we noted her paw’s prominent pinky.
She pronounced the ebony cone flowers a bit too inky
Her hat was the most admirable periwinkle blue,
Her purple suit outstanding, a designer’s ultimate coop.
What breed is she?

Ego Steals Joy - Tm
Waving her hand, flaunting her iPhone
Bragging about it in a loud tone
Back home filled with utter glee
But wishing to be loan free
When alone, in her face worry shone

Mess Steals My Energy
The mess is creeping up into my guts
Giving me a punch. I turn my cheek so it does not slap me.
Clutter tightens the unhappy bands around my heart.
Makes me feel depressed, lethargic.
Energy level is a thousand past zero.
I am helpless now. Stagnant. Immobile.
Overwhelmed, I feel myself shut down.
What would you do it this was your

Worry Steals My Muse
Worry can sometimes steal my muse, quickly taking it away
I worry about the well-being and safety of others now
I pray they will get through this difficult ordeal, somehow
But the worry brings a blank page to mind, less writing today

Sparky Steals the Sled
Winter knocking at my door bringing its presence
Trees boughs drooping with weight of its omnipresent
Crystal flakes glide down from heaven unspoiled and white
Very quietly alight in the silent night
Noses and cheeks left frozen with its crimson touch
Our knees knocking and teeth chattering they won’t hush
With its ambiance brought considerable fun
Sleds are out for a

Darkness Steals
My heart quite deep within me quakes
when darkness steals the sky.
The night rolls out its raven cape
and stars from shadow, fly.
Gray threadlike clouds adorn the deep
and look down as to spy.
The silence of each long, dark hour
is nightfall's strong ally.
Below, on earth, from our purview
we sleep, we work, and play.
Too often as our life unwinds
we

When Darkness Steals Her Light
Babies freezing to death in Syria
Being chopped to bits in Africa
Beheaded in Mexico
Shot through their tiny hearts in America
Starving all around this world
So what is it that you want to write about: What
Is it exactly ? Houses passing budgets; more bullets
Less food more war machines less treatment more
Neglect ? Smile for their camera walk down,
