Love does not pay the bills
Why are women labelled as shallow when they mary for financial stability?
The men that cry out for gold diggers are the same ones that benefit from these women settling...
Cause lets face it guys, most men don't own a mantion or posess a collection of luxury cars.
So when you find yourself crying out for injustice, think of this:
Did you mary for love or did you do it for all the benefits you could get from this partership?
At the end of the day, Love will not save you when your marriage falls appart, but money will...

Your Silence
Today, like any other day, I'm running around in circles, thinking of you.
I'm hesitant to verbalise it out loud, fearing what others might say or do.
It makes no sense, I know, to yearn for someone long gone.
You vanished without saying a word, leaving me with just this empty dawn.
You took a piece of me, the part that loved you best,
The part that cherished every moment, every laugh, every rest.
I've tried to fill the void, but nothing seems to fit.
The ache within me grows, a constant gnawing pit.
Your silence is a heavy chain, that...

Relationships are dying
It breaks my heart to say
We will never feel love the same way
That 80's-90's love, you are longing for
Resides in your mind only, there are no suitors
Your romantic partner, has his own agenda
Once he gets what he wants, it's sayonara
Your ride or die
Became ride and bye
Stages of romance, don't go past the flirt
Efforts stop at pulling up your skirt
True relations have lost their luster
Selfishness became the master
If you are born GenX, it's not hard to see
What was once experienced is now meant to flee ...

Played
Many more words I could lay on this page About you, about us, my mind in a haze
My memory fading, It was moons ago
Pen bleeding thoughts on cruise control
projecting imaginary lullabies, in lieu of our story
I never could be sure of how you felt about me
You opened my heart and left it on the verge of nothingness
Avoiding me like the plague, god is my witness
I would have moved mountains for you, I think I still would
You deprived yourself of the engine that could
For what it's worth, I thought I was played
If it wasn't the case,...

Virtue
Don't patronise, you know yourself
Please hold my hand, I beg you
A shoulder to bear my mental health
I need support to see me through
My light is getting dim,
My soul needs resusitation
My Demeanor on a lim,
I'm craving your affection
Only your presence could ignite that spark
Your luminescence in my dark
Come to me silently and hold me close
Our connection, a defebrilator
I ask you humbly for another dose
Could you grant your friend that favor?
So near yet so far, It's driving me...
Please hold my hand, I beg you
A shoulder to bear my mental health
I need support to see me through
My light is getting dim,
My soul needs resusitation
My Demeanor on a lim,

Only your presence could ignite that spark
Your luminescence in my dark
Come to me silently and hold me close

So near yet so far, It's driving me...

Crossroads of my heart
Wich path to take at this stage of life
I thought I'd know which heart to show
But here I linger in this uncertain limbo
Torn between the warmth of love or traveling life solo
Part of me yearns for that special soul connection
To feel the love, the touch, the sweet oblivion
Of someone so dear, who'll cherish and adore
But another part of my heart values independence more
The freedom to roam, to soar life's breeze
To answer to none, to not ask please
Solitude's comfort, the peace that it brings
Is it proven to...

Fascinating comparison
What a testament to my character
To be compared to a samurai
A modern day cavalier
With qualities to justify
What an honor to be perceived as such
I am humbled by this friend's words
They go straight to my heart they mean so much
I take it as a compliment
With gratitude, I accept this praise
And strive to live up to these noble ways
To embody the heart of a true warrior born
With loyalty and courage shining through
Respect and integrity, a badge of honor
Worn
Am I deserving of such flattering remarks from...

Valentine's day
How on earth did Valentine's day evolve from ancient Roman traditions and the martyrdom of priest Valentine, to a celebration of romantic love?
It is such a mystery to me...
Never cared for it really, all this rehearsed staged display of a more modern tradition, born thousands of years ago from an execution.
Kind of changes the perspective of it doesn't it?
Besides, should'nt love be celebrated year round?
For what it's worth, happy Valentine's day...

The moon is my compass
The moon, my compass charts this celestial sea,
Wholeheartedly I tread the lunar path,
Entranced by its delicate feminine breath
As its fullness unfolds
It illuminates my soul's darkest nights and awakens the depths within thee
Summoning the tender, the wild and the free
Its silvery glow, unleashes the mystique of my inner goddess....

Distinctive souls
I am drawn to the unconventional few
The fearless, the true
Authentic souls who spread out
Their colors, blue
With hearts ablaze, they shatter the mold
Unveiling iridescent colors, their spirits unfold.
In a world that often rewards conformity
These brave individuals forge their own symmetry
They defy the norm refusing to be tamed
Their courage a glimmer of hope, illuminating the unexplored
Those who shatter chains, who resist the mundane,
Who reject the emptiness of a narcissistic reign.
My heart belongs to these deep...

Unchained
I once conformed to the beaten path,
Believing solitude was a life unfulfilled.
The weight of expectation, a burden to bear,
Each failed relationship a reflection of my worthlessness to share.
But in stillness, I discovered a truth profound,
The emptiness I felt was not solitude, but a love unreciprocated, unbound.
I toiled in relationships, pouring heart and soul,
Only to find myself alone, my spirit growing old.
Now, I shed the chains that society dictates,
Embracing my individuality, no longer hesitant.
I rediscover myself, my...

Healing
Healing is such a complicated journey as no human being is given the same hand of cards to play in the game of life.
I always thought that with time, the wounds from a perticular breakup, would hurt less and the blood would dissipate in a vague memory tucked in its own understanding of the traces it left behind.
I never came to terms with why that specific relationship, affected my soul in such a powerful manner. The colors were brighter with him and the melody euphonious. Aromas of life exhilirated my spirit, whenever he was around.
I don't think he truly...
