THESE HANDS

THESE HANDS

These hands that held each other

These hands that help each other

These hands so tender and soft like no other

These hands that caressed and embraced

These hands that led to paradise

Your hands that soothed, moved

Your hands that proved

Oh those wondrous, gorgeous hands

That stroked the pain away

Touched this heart and soul

Hugged, cuddled a beaten brow

Oh how, how!

How these hands speak volumes

I DID AND I DON'T AND WON'T ANY MORE

I DID AND I DON’T

AND WON’T ANY MORE

Nothing has changed

You didn’t, you never loved me!

I heard it in the wind

Just that one voice there in the dam darkness

A shadowy voice

Yes a dark, dark voice

That should have been a warning

To let it go, ignore it

What changed you?

Or is that you have never changed?

It has been like this since time immortal

Walking the line

Between the darkness and light

Never deciding which one to choose

But I have been watching

Observing

Taking it all in

The visions, the insights, the warnings too

So dam stupid of me ignoring them

I DID

AND I DON’T

AND WON’T

ANYMORE

The score card has been scored

There is no level pegging no more

No one has lost

And no one has gained

No more pain remains

The anger has gone

You thought that I was still weak

You sure got that wrong

You made the biggest mistake

This time not me!

Just take one look

One long, long look

And you have never noticed

Taken note

But you just didn’t believe it

No she is still weak

But then the inevitable happened

I took that long, long look

Remembered the old

And what happened back then

And came to the conclusion

There is no way back to then

REFLECTION

REFLECTION

Such is the beauty of life

Such is the beauty that surrounds us

Within us

About us

We see the world as a reflection

The sun shines, the world shines

The waters glisten, we glisten

The world grows, we grow

But under those exteriors

Grows a unrest that we all detest

We want, need the world to be perfect

Perfection, free from rejection

Free from dejection

Free from objection

Aiming for an absolute objective

But can we all unite?

In a fight of real reflection

I'm The Cutest ( Monday Funny and Cutee)

I’M THE CUTEST

I am the cutest

And that is for certain

I adored

And that is assured

I have the eyes of tiger

Brown and yellow

Like pots of gold

Oh these eyes

Have stories to be told

Don’t be put off

With this cheeky grin

And my head tilted

To one side

I’m just saying

It’s nice to see you again

Been awhile

Where have you been?

You know my friend

Miss you now

And then

Hey my friend

Just look again

Can I right now depend?

On my friends

Once in awhile

To mend this bend

Right here in my neck?

Hey my friends

Love you so much

You’re the best

From the rest

Cos you love me so much

And that I know I can depend

Who loves you baby?

I sure as do
