we should have seen
we had it coming
looking at pictures of an empty Piccadilly Circus
or the Eifel Tower in Paris is empty of life except
for police cars cruising to fine anyone breaking the law.
The emptiness is enormous and frightening to think
how quickly humankind can disappear forever
When the pandemic is over, there might be another one.
Millions of people all over the world rotting in their homes
the disappearance of humans is a near reality.
The only hope is that we lived a tolerable good life.
The future will consist of animals hunting each other. ...

Don't take knowone for granted
It's true what the elders say that we should never take nothing for granted, as this is life in real life time. For sure do you know for sure that tomorrow, isn't a promise 🤨 for it's a blessing in the form of a gift, to have and behold of a precious kind of life, as well as a beautiful blessing sometimes as a disguise. For sure it's never good to be taken for granted, just like love and happiness of a kindness of a beautiful heart. ❤️ But yet there are those who are creatures of habits, that just don't want to do right for they prefer to do wrong, 😔 to someone...

Last drinks shouts the tender
drink em up
it's time to be out
I need to get home
so sip the last of your beer
slam down the last shots
head toward the outside
the chill of the night
fought off by the incoherence of
alcohols numb
the wisps of the smoke machine swirls
and clings like sad fog
to the crusted carpets
where booze and blood
bile and tears have stained my memories
with exquisite times and the haunted agony
of a thousand-thousand poets ...

Father, I get so much Joy after I had prayed to you
Father, I get so much
Joy after I had prayed
To you
Before I go to sleep
Every single night
In my bed
Tonight when I had prayed
To you in my prayer
I had asked for you
To remove the anger
That I have
And also I ask my father
To help me with daily
Problems
Because I am not sure
How to work in solving
My daily problems
Also, my father when I sleep
In my bed at night
I never wake up
In the middle of the night
I sleep all through the night
Like a log
Also, I know that you
Father...
Joy after I had prayed
To you
Before I go to sleep
Every single night
In my bed
Tonight when I had prayed
To you in my prayer
I had asked for you
To remove the anger
That I have
And also I ask my father
To help me with daily
Problems
Because I am not sure
How to work in solving
My daily problems
Also, my father when I sleep
In my bed at night
I never wake up
In the middle of the night
I sleep all through the night
Like a log
Also, I know that you
Father...

Writers thoughts
I write and write for hours, you see,
With ink-stained fingers, I set my thoughts free.
Words dance on paper, a rhythm, a song,
Yet silence replies, where do I belong?
The clock ticks away, as shadows grow long,
Each line that I craft, feels both weak and strong.
I pour out my heart, my dreams and my fears,
But the echo I hear just adds to my tears.
In each stanza I weave, a story untold,
Hoping for warmth, a connection to hold.
Yet the stillness surrounds me, a heavy, soft shroud,
I whisper my musings but never aloud. ...

But the echo I hear just adds to my tears.

If ever we tarry apart a spell
If ever we tarry apart a spell
Because circumstance conspired with fate
Remember all our days for your heart's sake;
Remember and wear a little smile.
Keep it as one would a given token
Until in flesh we unite once again.
Because circumstance conspired with fate
Remember all our days for your heart's sake;
Remember and wear a little smile.
Keep it as one would a given token
Until in flesh we unite once again.

When it's not love no more
Through this life we all will go through somethings, that are necessary for you to understand, that love is a two way street of give and take. For you have to learn how to navigate, through the process of the nonsense of the hurt and pain. That surely will come with confusion and displacement of what, love really is to the deepness of the truth of the heart. ❤️ For sure what you would you rather have in your own life, for wouldn't you want a relationship with a positive, commitment and real consistency to be able to share your life with for better or worse. As it is true that...

You can't see sadness here
You can't see sadness here
My friends
Because I am a happy men
And I am living a beautiful
Life that my father gave to me
Many years ago
After he made me with
His holy hands
And placed me on earth
To live
Friends I love my life
Here on earth
My friends
Because I am a happy men
And I am living a beautiful
Life that my father gave to me
Many years ago
After he made me with
His holy hands
And placed me on earth
To live
Friends I love my life
Here on earth

What If
What If”
What if I never devour your ruby mouth again?
What if you get lost in the wilderness of evil sin?
If what, I ask myself do I recall you in my dreams?
Always the same one, couldn't hear my screams
Everyday begging that you would let me back in
But what if the sunset doesn't come to rise again?
What if you stop painting the sky for only my eyes?
What if you never decorated my heart by surprise?
And what if these days won't carry on for us forever?
What if your kisses aren't carried by a gusty...
What if I never devour your ruby mouth again?
What if you get lost in the wilderness of evil sin?
If what, I ask myself do I recall you in my dreams?
Always the same one, couldn't hear my screams
Everyday begging that you would let me back in
But what if the sunset doesn't come to rise again?
What if you stop painting the sky for only my eyes?
What if you never decorated my heart by surprise?
And what if these days won't carry on for us forever?
What if your kisses aren't carried by a gusty...

Reverie in Warner Theatre
Listening in the dark
just Jason and his guitar
reminding me of all the times
I've been betrayed
by my own rhymes
and constructed phrases
I'm okay with it
in a crooked smile, shiny eyes
kind of way
All the love songs (and poetry)
do mean different things today
and while that may hurt
in the moments you realize they do
there's some comfort in that truth
Every note, clear as a bell
fills the hushed theatre
and finds me in my seat
turning pages of memories
while I etch this one
on...

The paths unclear
Heckled by emotions
Making a mind so jaded
The memories are there
But the colours are faded
Happiness and health
Trust and fear
The windows all misty
The paths unlclear
Making a mind so jaded
The memories are there
But the colours are faded
Happiness and health
Trust and fear
The windows all misty
The paths unlclear

The March Continues...Time Lonely Proceeds
An epilogue ending of a beginning. For another end is wide open as hearing the reverberate echo of drums...A pattern rudiment of undeveloped starts. This is the world that we know which continually spins on course. Harsh are the uncompromising laws of time.
Depth of slumber, darken trails feet obey & follow. A sleepwalk harrowing trance of dire rules, guides one easily towards the threshold of the night. Fear of opening that drawer...Fear of opening that door...Fear of being here...
