Playing in your school yard Always full of joy Our neighborhood makes it Very hard to be employed. Children, jewels growing up Smiling and giving Impressionably able to mold Smiling as your life unfolds. Exams are always hardest Feigning satisfaction during hunger Hoping for a feast before the pain Smiling because life has much to gain.                      Jewels, making it in the world A story is told Your heart glows brightly like the diamond you are A star Life sits at your feet A life busy, things to do with people you meet Your glimmer dims Zirconia is a jewel still Aging with time The jewels, some are mine Their cut and edges sharp not smooth Setting them apart Jewels with and without heart ...

                                      Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Jakob Owens Valentines Day and Love I'm not looking for roses, Don't send me a bouquet. I'm not feeling for your chocolates Don't get me started on even cake I'm not feeling for the date night Nor the sentiments of love Why do you wait on Valentines Day To give me all the above? I'm not feeling for your phone call To ask me out, for dinner this time I'm not waiting for a special song The one, that says "you'll always be mine" I'm not trying to be difficult Really, I'm not sure you can see Why do you wait for Valentines Day To say - I love you, my boo, my baby? I'm not going to try to tell you About all the days you made me cry I'm not even going to give you One more reason, to stay at my side I'm still the person you met so long ago The one you promised to be faithful to Why should I wait for just one day To hear you love me too...

                                  Photo Credits: unsplash,com/Ivana Medic After Romance… Can’t let you sweep me off my feet I’ve learnt that romance can be quite cheap A few words and whispers Then suddenly it’s all guile But it soon will be over Romance will die No sadness intended but romance should be banned It deserves to go hiding In fairytale Wonderland Don’t think I am still a fool Romance died soon after My graduation from school The butterflies have stopped living In my belly and my head Experience has taught me Timeless love may be dead Let the man I have yet to meet understand Romance left me waiting in another land Romance may be dead for me But for you I will pray That you find someone to love and romance you In that perfect special way. The best is yet to come, but take no advice from me Romance is okay if it makes you happy. 11/02/2021 Copyright ©2021 Dwordslayer & Donna-Luisa Eversle...

                                              Photo Credits:unsplash.com/Kelly Sikkema Romance gone wrong I used to dream that I would meet Someone who would love me completely He would want to give the roses a chance And he would find just the right music To give me romance. For many years I read and created a mold A man above all who’s love would unfold Before his heart would be left unfulfilled He would want to be with me A romantic way to live Yet, many moons have since past My slipper is lost, The prince in my fairy tale Replaced by frogs with no songs My Romance gone wrong Still, in my older years I still hope maybe The elusive romance will somehow find me And I will be tasked to dig deep And compromise Romance or folly, temptation may be denied What is the romance we desire when we wait When the fantasy plays in your heart and the dance stops before it begins What re...

                                             Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Alex Ringer Understanding Life I sit alone and think Wondering about my time here on earth. When we are born It is our death which comes next We walk through this world Not knowing the day, the hour, or the moment, when we will say goodbye. Do you live to die or are dying to live? When life happens, we grow And when death is coming We do not know. Thus, we forget that time is all we have that we hold, purposing ourselves on earth. I sit alone reflecting on, all the folks once judged, maybe also being judged. The unfairness of time, it does not give time for full recompense. There is joy and kindness later on in life, because we learnt from our experiences and lived our lessons well. Can we redo from birth to present? Is there a way to turn back the clock to be- a better human, maybe? Yet the curtain wi...

My mittens are on and my scarf wound tight. Going out to do shopping and get home before night. Winter in London is happiness to me It’s a tropical reversal And all I want it to be. Catching my first flight Eight hours away I found to my surprise, I wanted to stay. The clothes and the fashion The food and the fun My first visit to London in winter, Was loved by everyone. When my business was finished It was onto the sights And I was ever so entranced by the cold winter’s night. I never felt the frost bite Nor the chattering of my teeth. It was pubbing and laughter I was in my glee. The day came too soon when I had to say goodbye My heart now belongs to a cold winter’s night. A fairytale that ...
