A poem a day

-

Amidst the trail of my thoughts 

I came to a halt 

Something eccentric

But somehow familiar

I felt a gap in me 

That drew me close 

Closer To reality 

You ever did your best ? 

But never succeeded ?

You ever felt you deserved something ?

But it just slipped 

Outer your firm grip ?

Did you hold your chin in pain ? 

Or you shed tears

... 

That still didn't make a difference 

Or mayhap it did 

Because life 

Is just a mystery

Life

Dance all night long And practice yoga the next day.  Drink wine but don't forget your green juice.  Eat chocolate when your heart wants it  And eat kale salad when your body needs it.  Wear high heals on Saturday  And walk barefoot on Sunday.  Live high and low.  Move and stay still.  Embrace all sides of who you are.  Be bold,  Brave,  Spontaneous, And loud, And let that complement your abilities  To find silence,  patience,  peace  And modesty.  Aim for balance.  Make your own rules and follow your own path. And let nobody tell you to live like them.  Balance is the key.  Be you.  Bye bye!

The daughter of my eldest wife

 I wanna write a poem  One about a woman  The daughter of my eldest wife  The one I don't call by her name  I wanna write a story One about my favourite person The one who only seems wrong  When she makes things right  I wanna write a song  One about my source of motivation  The one I don't point a finger at  Nor exchange words with I wanna paint a picture  One about my mother  The only one whom my pain  She feels
