Sitting idly
sipping some coffee
& enjoying the beautiful scenery,
I suddenly thought of
you and the old days;
do you remember the days when we
walked together, hand in hand
promising each other that
this bond will never break,
promising each other that
we both will always be there for
each other;
do you remember the days when others
wished that they could have
a bond
like ours?

But now, everything’s changed;
we act like strangers,
walking past each other
locking sight
but with a locked mouth,
our inner soul
tells us not to even exchange a
‘Hello!’
though, deep inside us
we wish to speak to each other,
gossip,
share the latest news,
like we did a few years ago.

I wish,
that the old times could come back:
I wish I could cry on your shoulder,
I wish I could exchange secrets,
I wish we could gossip about people,
I wish this bridge is built all over
again.

I wish.

You are the concealed
hand
that helps us cross
the broken bridge;
You are the concealed chalk
that fills our black lives
full of white.
Your warm, cozy arms –
the palliative spot for a
wounded soul.
You are the sunlight blending
through the curtains
lighting up our lives.
You are the fresh lotus that
fills our flavourless lives
with essence.

To decipher you
is problematic;
how does your instinct
decipher us?

You are a blessing,
only a few are blessed with.
You are the life that leads me
through the dark tunnel
of life.

You are a lady: like no other.
You are my everything.
You are MOM!

The snake
Is on the lake
Eating some cake

Then he has a tummy ache
Because of the cake
Then he meets Jake

Who is awake
Baking some
Cake

Looking at the sky
That is about to cry
Wanting to eat a pie

For the pie
He was to die
Or even lie

Up high in the sky,
I wave goodbye
almost out of sight,
my good friend kite.

I had a bear,
I named it Dare.
He had a friend
Called Claire.
We went to the fair.
And he ate a pear.
He stopped to stare
As he saw a mare
Who had long hair
Which was very rare
And that’s the end of the BEAR.

Popcorn is sweet
Oh so nice
Pop pop pop
Cinema snack
Om nom nom
Really crunchy
Nibbly treat

Blue is the sky
Up above your head,
Blue is the sea
With creatures within,
Violets are blue,
Their petals surround.
How about a rainbow,
With blue blended in?
This is blue!

Fear is a shadow dancing on the wall
It is like an everlasting horror movie planting nightmares in your mind
It is dismay, like a black stone gnawing at your heart
It makes you want to cling to your teddy and pull the covers over your head.

Fear is the monster hiding under your bed
It is like the knot in your stomach
It is uneasiness of knowing something bad will happen and you can’t face it alone
It makes you want to scream for your dad.

Fear is the creak of the staircase
It is like the howling of the wind
It is panic, like the trees tapping on your windows
It makes you want to disappear.

Red is a sunset
Blazing and bright
Sometimes red is a red, red rose
Why, oh why
Did you make me cry?
