Embarrassed to Admit That
I broke one of my cardinal rules
I looked up one of my exes
What I saw upon her profile popping up
Is that she has achieved everything she has ever wanted
More especially everything we once spoke about
In that moment I felt happy for her
However I felt equally as embarrassed
I felt embarrassed by my own life
My end of the bargain had never been achieved
I'm no closer to my dreams today
Than when I was when I was with her
I felt embarrassed to think about
If the roles were reversed my own story
Would fill her with relief ...

I Know This Is Your First Day
Look,
I know
this is your
first day on the
job. But could you please
do me a favor and
rub my back gently? Feels good
so far. Wait a minute. I feel
something going inside my...! Please take
it out! It... it... also feels so damn good!

To ignore the signs
Let's take a moment to analyze what I'm saying to you all, that are involved in this conversation, with the realization of understanding. FOR how many times have your own thoughts, shown you that, what you don't see is that, what you need to see, but yet we refuse to not acknowledge it 🤔 For sure the same thing holds true, in our own personal relationships, when things start to fall out of place that you, start to notice the deepness of the shifting of common sense. 🤫 But yet we still ignore the current changes in high sights 😕 of what our own brain 🧠 is trying...

THE OLD CHICKEN COUP
There she stood with tears rolling down her face and cheeks
Looking downward – such innocence – mild and meek
Her first trip to the slaughter house was no joke
Proved to be a one-sick hoax!
Slowly but surely – she told us the story
Leaving out NOT the gory!
“I was asked by dad
To join him fast
To pick out a chicken
“O Good Rid dens!
At last – no fret
I’m picking out my very first pet!"
Is what I thought
When my breath I caught!"
So, with joy in my heart,
And exuberantly joyful at the...

"The Sea's Silent Symphony"
The sun, a molten gold coin, shimmered on the surface of the Coral Triangle, a vast, pulsating heart of the ocean. Spring’s gentle warmth had coaxed a symphony of life from the depths. Coral polyps, tiny architects of the sea, unfurled their delicate tentacles, capturing the sun-kissed plankton that drifted on the currents. Clownfish, their vibrant orange stripes flashing like jewels, darted amongst the anemones, their symbiotic dance a testament to the intricate balance of this underwater Eden.

Her Friends Yelled "April Fools!!"
Matt saw Hilary standing naked.
She was waiting for Tom to arrive.
Her friends yelled "April Fools!!"
That made Hilary cry with closed eyes.
Matt got naked and behind poor Hilary.

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...

Please Disappear
Wake up, I want your lies
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever

The Aversion You Live
Fields of delight
Smell the lie divine
Right this way
Do not decline
Taste the deceit
Your version that might
be more sweet
than the aversion you live
Standing outside the fire
Standing there you lust
Virility smolders into
a tepid perversion of
an orange sky
Your ashes into it
Smell the lie divine
Right this way
Do not decline
Taste the deceit
Your version that might
be more sweet
than the aversion you live
Standing outside the fire
Standing there you lust
Virility smolders into
a tepid perversion of
an orange sky
Your ashes into it

I borrowed something, perhaps a book, which is always just a book,
or a fork which is never wholly a fork,
an apple torch, actually a beacon light,
the entire colour yellow,
not like late nights whispering secrets,
or the scent of vanilla on pine,
not like a garden, or a documentary
or a song,
not like the taste of salt,
sand beneath feet,
not on a mound under small trees,
or above a river, under others,
not like others, the presumption and nervousness of others,
not like words, or sounds,

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...

See You In the Next Life
There was a time when I was
insouciant
the amount of fucks I gave
were counted in negative numbers
and I could internally quote my favourite comedian
“So what if you’re offended, nothing happens,
it’s not like you’re going to say
damn I was offended, I was hurt
and then I woke up with cancer”
and I’m sure there’s onlookers with a sense of
Schadenfraude at my inability
to swagger around with the big dick energy I took
for granted, thinking that because I could write
in a way that hits
I was bulletproof
because...
