Days like this, make me smile,

Days like this, brings me bliss,

Days like tppphis, seems so short,

Days like this, fills my heart.

Days like this, won’t last long,

Days like this, change my mind,

Days like this, makes me write,

Days like this, wipes my tears,

Days like this, fear is gone.

Days like this, might return,

Days like this, youth seems done,

Days like this, grow we must,

Days like this, wish you well.

121. Tonight We Dine.

So here we are, alone at last,
The warm sea air, feels our mood,
The meal was exquisite, the wine full bodied,
My date delightful, her beauty unending.

We talked for hours, her life of flowers,
Adventures and trials, strength and resolve,
Laughter and flirting, touching and looking,
Into her eyes, my fears subsides.

She sense in me, my heart on sleeves,
No question too hard, just boldness to give,
My all to her, my thoughts inside,
I sense in her, a past betrayal.

She made mistakes, much like the norm,
She trusted too quick, men eager to please,
They broke her heart, now guarded she lived,
Not searching for love, just hoping to live.

I held her hands, not trying to hurt,
Offered support and encouraged her love,
She mustn’t give up, I summed up my thoughts,
She mustard a smile and held my hand tight.

The sunset was blissful, together we walked,
She rested her head, upon my shoulder,
Along the beach, our foot steps in sync,
I held her close, this sunset our own.

120. My Sweet Interruption.

I’m at the beach, head in book,
Drink to hand, losing time,
Love the calm, sun above,
Life so kind, sea so rich

The crowd is some, the air so bliss,
Nothing here, but peace and rest,
She took a seat, next to mine,
Her scent of rose, distracts my mind.

It took awhile, for me to brave,
The looking up, to see her beauty,
Her gentle smile and stunning eyes,
Brings joy untold, my heart now smiles.

Just say “hello,” my heart demands,
Just say anything, my mind inclines,
Can’t let her go, without a word,
She turns and smiles, I’m stunned and try.

“Hi,” crept out, not sure which tone,
She motioned back, her sweet “hello,”
Time just froze, is she an angel?
We chat and flirt, it felt alright.

She’s here alone, she is a doctor,
Just check me over, my mind commanded,
We shared this moment and watched the sunset,
So much in common, our feets now touching.

119. My Expiry.

Pick a day, chose the date,
Leave it all, all behind,
Do not play, cannot stay,
Time to go, let them know.

Did my best, walked the path,
Just the norm, can’t complain,
Raised my kids, loved my wife,
Stayed the course, now to rest.

Worked and toiled, years now old,
Youth inside, heart still nine,
Wrote a book, shared it all,
Lost my wife, few years back.

Kids now men, living their life,
Get a call, once or twice,
Hurts a lot, walking alone,
Pace now slow, heart still gold.

Seen a lot, good and bad,
Changing seasons, world in treason,
Prices high and people struggling,
Mental stress and broken spirits.

Take a seat, in this park,
Say a prayer, to expiry,
Take me now, miss my wife,
My times to leave, no wish to stay.

118. Is It Goodbye?

Is it goodbye? A question asked,
In her face, states my case,
Such confusion, ever lingers,
Held her hands, showed I’m here.

We’ve been together, at least a decade,
The fun and laughter, happiness and wonder,
The ups and downs, came and went,
But love still burns, its flame still warms.

Blame the times, blame the world,
We fought at times, but grew like rhymes,
No child to bound us, just us and dance,
We cherished each other, we loved and lived.

But things do change and time does ask,
Will love stay same? If hearts grow cold,
Love’s warmth did fade, our lives evades,
We became more friends, damn fools we are.

So here I am, hair now white,
Skin little frail, heart is weak,
You wanted more, the world to see,
Our plans now different, our lives now distance.

You took that flight, BA229,
It left on Friday, at 12.09pm,
We shared a kiss and hugged like kids,
“See you soon, ” you whispered kindly.

I did not take, my eyes off you,
You boarded the plane and boarded my heart,
I watched your takeoff, a smile and freedom,
My mind spins lightly, Is it goodbye Dee?

117. Another Date.

Another Date, another time,
Another chance, to get it right,
Play the fool, laugh a lot,
Stay the course, brave the rot.

Played it safe, wore a suit,
Choose a places, we both felt safe,
Candlelight adorn the room,
Gentle strings, makes us beam

This the hour, hope and flower,
Eating cake, whilst she vapes,
Lightly conversing, discovering my verses,
The locking of eyes, surrenders our surprise.

We question till late, our lives and hates,
Two people so different, two hearts so blessed,
A glimpse of love, so effortlessly we flirt,
Together we share, our hands now touch

It’s now or never, to reason with fear,
I’ve waited too long, this moment to own,
I leaned toward her, her lips greatly divine,
This date wonderfully kind, my Clare beautifully mine.

116. Send Me.

See them planning, see them trying, 

Hear them screaming, feel their shouting, 

All eyes watching, can’t fake wanting, 

They try controlling, minds start doubting. 

Tongues be asking, hearts debating, 

Ears now aching, answers fading, 

Hands now folded, rage is loaded, 

Seats all creaking, faces blinking. 

Now comes questions, causing frictions, 

They seek answers, no one dancing, 

Suddenly the vote, all hands remote, 

Chose the one, send hope packing. 

All mouths silence, no one chanced it, 

Wishing and waiting, bravely they fronted, 

Harboring the will, but keep so still, 

Needing a victor, send me, I whispered.

115. A Piece Of Me.

A piece of me, failed today, 

It’s hard to say, the way I feel, 

Some tried and failed, to live today, 

It’s not okay, you seems to preach. 

We’re not the same, so stop the blame, 

You stand so tall, above life’s call, 

You seek the Divine, well so do I, 

How dare you say, you know my pain. 

You write your words, without much sound, 

It looks the same, has those old fools, 

You seems to heal, much like the brave, 

You hold no ill, just push and pull. 

Leave me to cry, don’t stop my tears, 

Can’t take your smile, just disappear, 

My past I’ll hold, it got me here, 

Yes I do pray, so judge me not. 

You write your books and form your clubs, 

You bear the rot, you now call gold, 

Just take this piece, you seem so pleased, 

I don’t want peace, just leave me be.

114. They Stole Our Votes!

They queued since dawn, this line their time,
A vote to cast, true change to seek,
Each person a story, their presence life’s glory,
No honour in rushing, just patience in waiting.

The leaders we chose, forgot their ways,
We voted for better, they settled for money,
The rich grew richer, the humble grew poor,
No difference between them, just status defines us.

We hunger and starve, no food in sight,
The prices have rocketed, out bellies grow slim,
A shortage of food, the lies they sold,
A wastage of resources, no benefits or plans.

They invested in death, by arming the law,
No interest in protects, they slaughtered their own,
In horror we’re tormented, in sadness you watched,
Our voices now silenced, a dictator is born.

His family enriched, by the taxes they stole,
The rich nations rejoice, our resources they steal,
The dictator presents, the truth he resents,
Our people suffer, whilst your United Nation fluffs.

Truth be told, truth is old,
Years will pass, generations will die,
Change is slow, life is short,
Taken for granted, voted for nothing.

113. Beyond Arrival.

There was a night, not like no other,
I took a stroll, along life’s shores,
In search of peace, or space to think,
The clear night skies, reveals my scars.

Around the sight, laid out above,
The stars of night, eternally beautiful,
My eyes in awe, my soul delights,
The calmness around, revives my now.

I walked for miles, without much sound,
My mind now floats, away from me,
Into the distance, beyond my reason,
I’m not my own, my heart like stone.

From dark to light, it shone so bright,
Towards my place, it drew much pace,
In shock I froze, with tears I rose,
What beuty befall, a star now falls.

It feels so wrong, I lose my might,
My throat now dry, the star is near,
Night now is day and Earth is bliss,
Beyond my dreams, an arrival it seems.

112. Into Me

There is a guy, inside my mind,
He’s cute and tall, so says my mum,
He wears his heart, for all to see,
He’s real and says, not much to me.

We work together, each day is different,
Our eyes have met, that moment was great,
He’s shy for sure, because he pretends,
To not take notice, each moment we share.

He has a name, I want to own,
He’s gentle and keeps, away from gossip,
I once got dared, to say hello,
His sweet response, shows me he cares.

I wished he’d ask, me out one day,
A meal or snack, to easy our curiosity,
No need for guards, around our hearts,
He’s worth the risk, am I insane?

He’s into me, I tell my mind,
I stay the course, within this space,
I’ll pray we talk, or share a case,
I stare at him, he smile at me.
