Promise me
You’ll never vacuum your heart
Never discard my love
Never scrap my affections
Never trash my memories
Or ever bin my emotions
If my love litters your heart
Let it remain so
Let it be untidy, unclean
If you ever clean it
I’ll make it messy again

A Lion’s Cub Went To A Club
A lion’s cub went to a club
To dance with a vixen’s son
All the chimps caught a glimpse
Of the fun that had begun
In jumped a rabbit who had a habit
Of ruining everyone’s night
He wildly bounced with the drunken hounds
Till all the beasts were out of sight
Who Is Death?
Is Death your friend?
Will you go to her in your hour of need?
Is Death your partner?
Does she lay by your bedside and haunt you throughout the night?
Is Death your sister?
Does she play with you?
Is Death your pet?
Do you play with her?
Is Death your saviour?
Untitled #7
He dreamed more than he should have dreamt
He lived in a world of his own
He never knew the aches of loneliness
Though he lived and died alone
Flip-flops
Flip, flop; my flip-flops flop
My flip-flops flip and flop
Drip, drop; the raindrops drop
The raindrops drip and drop
We Float
We float
Through the prisms of space and time
Through the eyes of the mind
Through each other
We float
Without a destination
With imagination
Holding each other
We float
Zig-zag, vroom-vroom
Straight and round and round
Smiling
We float
We float
Nobody to catch us
Nobody to instruct us
Faraway
We float
Puffy
Some clouds are filled with water
Some clouds are full of snow
But I am filled with magic
Wherever I may go
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho
I float over the oceans
I float over the lands
Wherever I be pouring
I’ll be making friends
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho
Sometimes I’m swell and puffy
Sometimes I shrink my size
Sometimes I have my party
Sometimes it’s just the skies
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho
I often dance while flying
I often blow and swing
Wherever I am going
I’d be sure to sing
Ho ho ho
Oh oh
Ho ho ho
A Club Made Just For Me
They kicked me out of office
They kicked me out of home
They kicked me like I’m kick-y
I find myself alone
They kicked me out of parties
They kicked me out of pubs
They kicked me out of circles
I had to build my club
A club that’s fresh and lively
A club that feels like home
A club made just for me
A club where you can’t come
The membership is frozen
You have to face the snub
Only one could revel
In an all-exclusive club
I don’t need no parties
I don’t need no pubs
I don’t need no circles
I’ve got my loyal club
Void
Come here, Darkness; sit with me
Show me what I cannot see
Tell me tales of a faraway land
Where you float from end to end
Touch me with your lifeless hand
Sit with me and be my friend
Nothing is what it appears to be
In your void I breathe endlessly
Do Not Read This
Let me clarify to you right from the start
Do not read this if you’re weak of heart
If your dear ones fear that you’ll tear apart
Let this be a warning if you’re unprepared
Do not read this if you are easily scared
Not even if you’ve lost a bet or been dared
Do not read this in the dark of the night
First you ensure that there’s plenty of light
Lest you may end up with a terrible fright
Do not read this to your daughter or son
Do not think this is going to be fun
In fact do not read this out to anyone
Do not read this. Do something else instead
Unless you want to mess with your head
Heed my words and you will be forever glad
Do not read this
Well, you made it till the end despite my warnings. In that case let me try another piece of reverse psychology on you. Do not press the Donate button below 😁
