This world

**I’ll sit and watch the world slowly die,**

**Money becomes worthless,**

**Sincere snakes lie,**



**Is power really worth this?**

****

**Separated by sides,**

**In endless greeds abyss,**

****

Princess

She was always told;

straighten your back!

or, a princess is never cold!


and one night, she had a panic attack

she screamed and cried

her whole body racked


her mother came in and pried;

Sit up, and don't do that again!

'yes' she lied....

Draft

Isn’t it so

The beauty of day

Life on the go


Don’t pass it by

Rivers and dust

The clouds in the sky


Think as you must

Curiosity to love

Build up your trust...

For Forever And More

Not the prompt


A little inspiration from “dear Evan Hansen”

Their song “for forever”

(Go watch it maybe, it’s great, and really sad, so be careful)




The day has begun

The day I’ve hoped for,

For forever and more


We sit in the back

Waving our hands out the window

It’s going to be the best day, I really know


We both walk out

We’re really there

I can feel the wind running through my hair


The da...

Oceans

The tide rolls in and out

Bringing beautiful new things to light

In front of you new life will sprout


The waves roll in with high height

They come with a mighty roar

Waves are really a sight


The ocean seems to raise a war

But brings a quiet peace

And they all connect at the seashore


Watch the tension that is released

When you watch the glass water

And see the joy that is increased...

Time

Time flies

Faster than I can say

“Wait!”

Faster than I can realize

The place I’m in

Faster than I can take in

Who I am.


But time flies

And since I realize

I’ll try to notice what’s going on

Maybe I’ll try something new

To live in the moment.



Time flies

Try to see everything

One last time....

Betwixt Rain And Snow

Sinking into inner ringed green

Unfurling from cold spring’s slumber

Lazarus rootstocks preen


By Blacktop hot as summer

Bats swope no see ums

As fireflies ignite in number


In this febrile season

Ninety days betwixt rain and snow

Wildness racing against reason...

Broken Glass

Shattered and broken upon the floor,

Like my heart beating in my chest,

Watching you walk out through the door.


Snatching my soul from my breast,

Never again able to trust,

Even when I saw you at your best.


Misunderstood your love for lust,

Like broken glass my heart is no more,

Tainted like iron beginning to rust.


Loving you from my core,

But now you’ve left me in the dark,

Just like...

Tranquil

Beneath the sky so vast and deeply blue,

I wandered through a meadow bathed in gold,

Where every flower seemed a spark anew.


The whispers of the wind, a tale retold,

Of days long past when time was young and free,

In nature's arms, her secrets to unfold.


A river sang its song in harmony,

With rustling leaves that danced upon the breeze,

A symphony of life and mystery.


Amidst this sc...

Douala: A Tropical Melody

In Douala's heart, where Wouri's waters flow,

A bustling rhythm pulses through the streets,

Where palm trees sway and vibrant markets glow.


The estuary's embrace, where ocean meets,

Reveals a city rich in history's tale,

From Portuguese shores to colonial feats.


Once Kamerun's capital, proud and hale,

Douala thrived as trade winds swept the shore,

Slave ships departed, laden with their wail.


No...
