YOU

On this day, I read these words

you will only see me once

On this day, I thought to myself

not a chance

 

You became my crayon box

where I can pick a colour for the day

and as time went by, I opened my heart

for you to come and stay

 

You inspired me to colour in my life

sometimes outside the lines

I became my own Picasso

 You became my Mona Lisa

Blessings

Sometimes we are so busy
we don't see them changing our lives
Too many things that are stealing our attention
so many blessings are going unmentioned

Let's stop to acknowledge some
or rather make time for one
It will open our eyes to the miracles
hiding in a simple blessing from above

When I breathe a sigh of relief
realising blessings are mine to keep
How could I ever miss this on...

The Gifts of life

To breathe is not a thought
          We do it all day
      Never realised we do
      Since it's a gift of life 

         To love you is easy
               I do it all day
          Never realised I do
Since it's just another gift of life.

Raping Mother earth

Seeing how mother earth is raped every day

Polluting the air and water with no end

Scraping the oceans for the last bit of fish

 Saving the forests is a joke, they just pretend 

 

While COP 26 trying to make some rules

taking Air and Water for fools

Exposing that 1% of us, more or less

is producing 66% of the mess

 

Now, they want to go to Mars

with no air to bre...

Pick me a Star

Would you pick me a star?

one of those shining far, far away

Always there when Night-time fall

please bring one home to stay

 

Would you pick me a star?

that one, light years away

I know it will take us forever and a day

bring it home, we can put it the jar

 

Would you pick me a galaxy of stars?

choose a million between Jupiter and Mars

We can sprinkle them on t...

Seasons

Some people have a favourite season

 

The beautiful bright sunny days of Summer

perhaps the subtle colours of Autumn

Maybe the endless smells of Spring

or the cosiness that only Winter can bring.

 

Me… I fell in love with the changes in seasons

they are like my children

Everyone with their own mystique

changing before my eyes while growing up to be unique.

 

I ...

To be engaged

 

To get engaged was based on a question

a question to me my wife

That was done with the sole intention

to be with you for the rest of my life

 

But to be engaged is more than a question

it a declaration that I share a dream

To dream with you, forever and a day

about tomorrows that might come our way

 

One day this engagement will come to an end

to be replaced b...

engagement

I see tomorrow, born from death

When death steal your tomorrow
leaving you with more questions than sorrows
What is life, so fragile, no time to waste
who am I, where do I belong, where is my space?

Memories painting a picture against the wall
trying to make sense of yesterday’s Fall
Some make you smile, some make you cry
there is nothing of yesterday to deny.

As time tempers the Mind and heals the Heart
the Soul is...

The riddle called Love

The riddle called love ... 

A debate as old as the mountains
with no definitive answer in sight.
Who has an answer 
Who might be wrong or right? 

Adel sings, sometimes it lasts
Nazareth sings it hurts.
Ellie Chu from the half of it, thinks it's 
"messy and horrible and selfish and bold". 

Turn it upside down. What is it not?

Love is not guaranteed
nor just a simple choice
  Not...

Love

You are

You are the "feeling-home" feeling
of the smell of freshly brewed beans
in the coffee-shop, you set up in my heart

 

You are the peace the sunset brings
when the last strokes are painted
on the palette of the horizon
where my eyes take rest

 

You are the mystery in a misty morning
when the sun is sleeping in
and the fog that the sea breeze brings

takes custody of the valleys ...

About Magic

To deeply love someone
That gives purpose

To unmistakably be loved by someone
Breathtaking

But to be passionately in love with each other
That's where the magic is!

How to lose valentine’s day


They celebrate this day 
to make sure that she knows
Flowers or chocolates they say
to make her feel special on Valentine’s day!

So much rest on your actions today
getting it wrong, might be your last day?
So choose your gift well
last year’s flowers will probably not sell!

But why?

Love can be expressed in 101 ways
express kindness and respect
Treat her like a guest @ home

Whispers in the Dark

 

Some nights I will wake up @ 3

not sure if I am alone or whether you with me

I will feel my way in the dark to give you a hug

finding some comfort in the snug.

 

Not sure if you are sleeping or awake

I will whisper I love you, for lover’s sake

Waiting for: I love you too…

to echo in the dark.

 

Some nights I will wake up @ three

sure that I am alone, you are n...

The Animal called FEAR

Some time ago, I got a bank card with the Tap to Pay option. Negative talk and conspiracy theories that someone will scam my money just walking past me in the shopping mall made me afraid to have one, let alone use one.

When COVID-19 came, I did not want to touch anything, not the card machine, nor the keyboard to type in my pin. My Tap to Pay card was suddenly my best friend!

What happened?...

COVID 19

 

Is mother earth trying to tell?

you, humans, made the earth a hell

Is she angry with us that we pollute?

raping the planet, always busy to loot

 

Whether COVID is man-made or not

created by politics, mistake or a BOT

We need to face the consequences of our ways

we need to take care of all life, if we want to stay

 

As we are busy writing history for books to come

Valentine who?

If one were to live in the Sahara desert
Surrounded by skylines and dunes
Blessed with sand in abundance
What Idiot will celebrate Sand day once a year?

If one were to sail the oceans
Surrounded by water and waves Blessed with fish and seagulls every day What idiot will celebrate Ocean day once a year?

If one were to travel the galaxies
Surrounded by Blackholes and Planets blessed with ...

No Words to Explain

No words can explain
 

They ask me why, what do you see

I have no words to explain

 No reason why she is working for me 

 

Millions of people will be better than any reason

Millions of notions will trump her by far

 No reason why she is raising the bar 

 

Her smile is in the breeze of the sea

 My heart is at peace, to let it be

 Her kindness, like the waves washin...

To the woman in our lives

They are strange; they are not like us,

the can’t do stuff without a fuss.

We men, we just want to get it done

they will spice it up and have some fun.

 

Not sure why God decided to make,

them woman, the fairer of the two.

Perhaps we will never understand His take

but it is working well, that is true.

 

We men we don’t get it, nor will we ever understand,

what they...

Who am I

The earth is scattered with Billions of people. Last time someone cared to count, they said we passed the 7 billion mark.

Everybody is busy with something. Some are trying to change the world... some are using the world... some are raping the world. Others are just swept away or dragged along by the world. Mother Earth has her own problems coping with all these people... every one with his own ...

The Place in my Soul

The Place in my Soul

 

It was like yesterday when I start to remember

When the face of a man, softly said-

Hey, little baby, it's Daddy here, you must wake up,

it is your first day in December

 

It was like yesterday when he picked me up from the tar

It is going to be ok, as he brushed the sand from my knee

Tomorrow the sore will be far

 

It was like yesterday whe...

It is that time of day...

 

It is that time of day...

 

It is that time of day when the clouds on the horizon are getting the better of the sun

The last rays are running on the water to reach the seashore before the sun dims for the day

The low tide is softly playing between the rusty structures and corroded concrete

Of what use to be a fence to tell the beach walkers, this is the end

 

It is that t...
