Thank you Cmac 🙏💙

Nice one Marcia! 💙

still a dreamer
still a believer
roaming around
in #boxer trousers
t-shirt saying
"I don't care"
But now I had
a little one
playing in my arms
& Now she is
graduating already
I still roam around in
boxer trousers
t-shirt now says
"world peace"
still a dreamer
still a believer

Yeah alright,
don't talk to me
I can also be
indifferent too
I can also give
cold shoulders
if you think
you can win
the argument
by going silent
so be it
but I think
you know
that eventually
your tears
or your smile
are my Achilles #heel
where I surrender
and lose all the battles
#vss365

I have been reading
about brave men
of honour and courage
They were called a #patriot
And then now I read
about the patriots often
They seem to hate
other human beings
including the children
calling them aliens
The patriots are scared
of homeless people
running away to
save their lives
#vss365

I've forgotten too many things
but won't forget
when my little brother
clawed my face in anger
when we stole
classmate's lunch
or when someone lit
firecrackers in school toilet
names mum called me
when she got angry
No, won't forget that though
I've forgotten too many things

Thank you Michael. We all collect these stains I suppose. How we deal with these past memories is what life is all about in my opinion. 🙏💙

Life flows
mostly linear
But does it?
Often we find ourself
reliving certain moments
again and again
We all have lived
such a #moment
where the time stops
A moment which
like a stubborn stain
remains there
and we keep reliving
its pain or the joy
Who says life is linear!
#vss365

People see their reflection in the world Marcia. In fact you are the amazing one! 💙
And I am lucky that my words get your attention

🙏💙

Nice one Marcia! Lovely presentation too 💙

Thanks Aron 🙏💙
Battle continues I suppose 🙂

Thank you jriegs 🙏💙

The day rises
with brightness of your smile
The night arrives
in shades of your brows
You know my world
spins with every sign of yours
So why your eyes lie to me
Why your smile keeps secrets
Why all this #vagary
with someone
who lives and dies
just for your love
#vss365

Marcia you are so kind. Thank you 🙏💙

I have always been
reading your face
to find if my feeling
have any place
your smile says much
but also hides a lot
your eyes just #enigma
they will talk just not
but still there are moments
when you lay it all bare
I see my reflection and
my story is written there
#vss365

My bag has many pockets
one has dreams
and the other wishes
but then there is one pocket
which I keep shut
because it is up to no good
last time it opened
there were ohhhhhhs
and ahhhhhs all around
My focus of course
remains on that pocket although
my bag has many pockets
#FromOneLine

Thank you Marcia 💙🙏

When you know everything,
there is a problem
And also when
you found a #guru
and you became
a blind follower
A guru can only
show you some paths
or a path
YOU have to decide
which one is your way
YOU have to guide
yourself in the path
that is meant
for YOU
Your ultimate guru
is always YOU
#vss365

all my life
I wished for
good time
all my life
I wanted
happiness and peace
And still
my #guru in life
have been
the tough times
When I learnt most
about love and pain
about life and suffering
#vss365

What happened to
those dreams
those wishes
those milestones
Wasn't that a
fascinating #liminal age
when everything was possible
and then life happens
some dreams
are still achieved however
ah well!
no complaints
no regrets still
#vss365

In our world
there was only love
nothing negative
just trust and care
There existed
another world
in parallel I suppose
full of doubts
negativity and mistrust
Don't know
if those two
fought for existence
But I know
the second one won!
#vss365

In a usually calm life
every now & then
we get caught
in a #vortex of emotions
emotions, which are
trying to find their place
in a usually calm life
to create some spice to it
to remove boredom from it
which then creates
some disruptive moments
in a usually calm life
#vss365

all my life
I swept away
all my fears
under the rug
and moved on
with success
and happiness however
susurrus of those fears
keeps me awake at night
Every now and then
I pull one of those
out of the rug
and face it
with full force
That is the only way
to clear away
your closet of fears
#vss365

we met in this life
clicked together like this
like made for each other
or we have a
#primordial connection
which will exist
till end of time too
you and I
two faces
of the same soul
#vss365

The string snapped
It lasted that long
that was a miracle anyway
They were tied together
like soulmates although
Doubts he had however
dripped on string
burned it slowly
He didn't realise
& sleepwalked through it
and when day when
he needed it most
The string snapped
#FromOneLine

Thank you 💙🙏

It wasn't the noise she expected
speech she perfected
for the whole school
that would be so cool
but her courage did crumble
her knees started to tremble
her voice then deserted
A squeak is all that ejected
inaudible that she blurted
It wasn't the noise she expected
#FromOneLine

Four was too many
he wud've settled for any
girl he was hoping for
had closed on him her door
now he was desperate
couldn't rely on his fate
girl who said yes
he was ready to impress
she came with her friend
who brought her husband
two wud've been plenty
four was too many
#FromOneLine

The passage to her heart
went through a #strait
so narrow that any thought
would think twice
before passing through
any feeling would weigh
its options before daring to pass
until one day
when he touched her soul
and her world bloomed
opening all ways to her heart
