I’m a hundred percent comfortable,Don’t have to put up a front.You’re completely reliable,The past, don’t have to confront.The future is ours,To shape as we like;Together for many hours,Traveling the world on a bike.Spending these times, wondrous,Nev...

Unappreciated Love

Gave everything to make this work,While your part, you shirk.Risk my reputation,Being with a man of your station.Yet, you’re unappreciative,Rather incommunicative.You close your ears to my voice,If you have a choice.Gee, why did you wantMe to be your...

Jackpot

Before I could hit the jackpot,And be well heeled,I became a crackpot,My fate sealed. Betting all my earnings,Believing in my luck,Waiting for the evenings,Hoping for a quick buck. O’er and o’er been let down,Hands in my empty pockets,A heap on the g...

Wiping the sleep from my eyes,Barely able to stifle a yawn,I stretch my back fully,And try to appreciate a glorious dawn.Have had eight hours in bed,A long night of unrest.Could not shut down my mind,Wondering when it left, the zest.I ain’t my usual...

Hopped on a bus,Lured by the city lights,Forgot about the grime and dust,No rest even after sleepless nights. Left behind mundane livingAnd also my beloved home.Parents were most unforgiving,So from now on, I’m on my own. With a little experience und...
