The defense is automatic
Actions, autonomic
Devoted to the cause, charismatic
Emotions for all seasons, climatic
I weary,
I smile
I compliment, silently
I advise
I encourage
l congratulate, mutely
l feel
I break
l heal, repeatedly
I love
I pray
I hope, constantly
My feelings
My devotion
My actions, unsolicited.

Unsolicited Advice
Unsolicited advice
against its storm I brace
Showing no fear or shame
as they get up in my face
In other words ...
They tell me to zig
when I'm zagging
"Hurry up man!"
when I'm lagging
"That's not the way
I'd do it!" they opine
"Better listen to me,
get to it!" every time
Hmm, if that's true
then I'll know
just what to do
when I am you!

I like my poem the way it is

Are in need of buoying.
Or in a case I read about,

Some Unsolicited Advice
Turn off the alarm before you unlatch,
Don't count your chickens before they hatch
No two snowflakes, they say, ever match
Sneaky shysters are very hard to catch,
Don't ruin torn jeans with a brand new patch
If your taffy won't stretch, try a new batch.

Unsolicited Messages
I know that you got my message

Please don't tell me you're busy
Cause that is not an excuse
I wasn't checking but you were online
Probably texting another guy
You saw my status don't deny
And didn't even flinch to say hi
Do you think I deserve that

I
order
some coffee –
Americano –
wait with anticipation.
Superheated steam scalds the essence from the beans,
then rising from the cup, that rich fresh-brewed aroma.
I
savour
the vapours –
pure Arabica -
then notice in the saucer
something which I did not order : a biscuit,
yes, cellophane-wrapped an unsolicited biscuit,
the ubiquitous and unsolicited caramelised biscuit !
I
wonder
what’s it worth,
my unsolicited biscuit ?
I’ll send it back
