Quarrel

2 May 2021 1 minute read 2 comments emily2u

The dawn has not arrived,Louder your screams get.An old argument is revived,Your cussing sounds bad. Oh, parents of mine,Before it’s too late,Please draw the line,Between love and hate. Won’t do any good,To your kids, specifically,Being in this dark...

Vain

1 May 2021 1 minute read 5 comments emily2u

It’s my bane,That you’re so vain.Unexpected for a man,Who has only me as a fan.Been a couple for ages,But towards the last stages,Haven’t gone out much,After you’ve turned into such.Already in our seventies,No more invitations to parties,Since we alw...

I swear to God aboveMy loyalty won’t diminish.You’re just the one I love,And sincerely cherish.When our paths crossed,I was stricken by lightning.Into the air, was tossed,It was my life’s beginning.Since our first date,I’m on cloud nine,Have found my...

Amnesia

Feeling bored,Sitting in the loo,I’m left to rot,With nothing to do. Drained of energy,No interest in anything.Have to get out of this lethargy,But I just can’t think. I’ve memory block,These couple of years.The ticking of my biological clock,Evokes...

Jailbird

Committed a crime,And suffered for it.Only still in my prime,But already look beat. Totally ignorant,At the age of thirty.Soon, I was burnt,Had to pay the penalty. Served my sentence,Just released from prison.Now, full of repentance,Trying to be a ni...

In Coma

You lie on this bed,Neither dead nor alive.Whatever the doctors said,You’ll come back to life. By your side I stay,Providing support and care,Twenty-four hours a day ---Leave you awhile, don’t dare. Down on my knees,To God I pray nightly.I’m willing...

Fateful

Lying awake this wintry night,Sleep eludes me.My heart feels light,Thinking of my trip out to sea.We were on a sailing boat,Was already late.I forgot to take along my coat,It was pure fate.Just the start of winter,Temperature was low.From the galley,...

Joy

25 Apr 2021 1 minute read 8 comments emily2u

Joy isn’t easily understood,For it’s indefinable.Not many have it this good,So, it’s excusable.You’re the one manWho gives me this sensation.Why is it that only you can,Requires no investigation.Never known joyBefore you existed,Filling me with delig...

​ Image Source.​​​ Running grasses and trees? No, the bus is definitely running and the trees and grasses are static. Uncontrollable breezes blow as I look out to catch some muses.   The trees and grasses! In the journey on life, blessings have been...

Duck Race

At the park,People are watchingA swift brown duck,Which is set on winning.The hundred-meter duck race,Is in progress in the pond.Other partakers with the same faceLook bored, about to yawn.The first prize of a grand,Makes the owners full of eagerness...
