Definite Love Of My Life

[5 min read]

You are unique, oh, very much so in your way.
Your shape, your feel in my arms.
I'm no racist, but your colour puts others to shame.
I smack my lips in delight, my pupils dilate and I drool at your sight.

IF YOU HAVE GRANDPARENTS

If you have grandparents...

There may not be a next time,
Right now may be all you have.
Spend quality time with them,
Lavish love, attention and care on them.
Spend that loose cash on them.

If you have grandparents...

My mother loves art

"My mother loves art"
He said from behind me.
Infront of us a man in a painting,
Who was suddenly smiling.

Heroes

I never knew my father,
But I had heard from my mother,
That he was the best hero there ever was,
With his smile he ended wars.

When Man meets Woman

When man meets woman, it's fate as far as the eye can see,

Its destiny wielded by all forces earth, fire and sea.

Ice block sold here

‘Ice block sold here’,

Marks the gate,

Red and black with spikes on the fence,

Scared men away,

Good thing I’m not a man then.

Buy me a rose

[1 min read]

I once met a lady with an amazing soul,
She had  blue eyes and a wonderful smile,
She had that kind of love that could fill any hole,
She had that laugh that resounded in your head for a while.

'There was no way I was letting her go' I thought,
'She was the one' I also thought.
And everytime she smiled over her shoulder,
She looked a lifetime younger.

One day while we drank cocoa on a blissful Sunday 5pm,
She leaned back into the crook of my arm,
And slightly played with her dress hem,
"Buy me a rose please dear dear Max."

Of course I replied "I'll get you one, is that all you want?"
She nodded and smiled.
"I'd give you the moon if that's what you want."
"I'll take it", she said with yet another smile.

The next day I bought her the rose,
And a necklace coloured moonlight blue.
But then, the Lord called her home.
I mourned for a decade,
Her going was all too soon.

And even though I  got married  a decade later,
Every night as I laid in bed I could still hear her,
"Buy me a rose Max."
That's all she ever asked.

Between A Rock And A Hard Place

There are words too full in my mouth.

Too heavy in my chest.

These are words I can't express.

 I've tried to swallow but I can't digest.

She walked to the road wearing little to nothing,

Alone

I decided to look up the word ‘alone’
So I checked the dictionary on my phone,
And the results got me thinking.
So I did a bit more of searching,
I decided to look up loneliness,
But that just got my thoughts in a bit of a mess.
