Friends come and go
The heart continues to grow
The heart continues to know
The heart continues to sow
And to reap and to glow
The heart continue to flow
And to reminisce today tomorrow.

Poetry
GLASS OF US
If the glass is half full
Is my desire for you half empty?
Because our journey just began
But our feelings are already so plenty –
Is the glass empty or full of years?
Is the glass empty or full of cares?
Is the glass empty or full of fears?
Just drink up, my dear. Cheers!

THOUGHT FLIGHT
Your thought is your flight
Fly high, fly far, fly like animals roam
Following the light,
And when you’re done, fly back home.

TRUE LOVE
I just want somebody
Who thinks I’m a nobody
But doesn’t want anybody
Else but me.

EVENING
Evening vibes
Evening rides
Evening thrives
Evening cries
Evening smiles
Evening lies
Evening Why’s?

NIGHT DRIVE
Speeding through the night
Nighting through the speed
Through night and speed
I sight a nocturnal light
And sometimes it just feels so right.

DON’T LOOK BACK
DON’T LOOK BACK
Don’t look back
Just attack
Your future
And you can be very sure
You’ll grow forward
And move upward
And win onward.
As simple as it sounds to you,
Yet it is true.

UNFRIENDING
A friend
Is a person who your heart trusts
With or without a reason understandable to your mind.
And when your heart then distrusts
There is also a reason why
But sometimes only the intuition knows it at first
If the friend has told a deep lie
And then the truth and the lie
Begin to grow side by side beside each other
And the matured truth shall say to the matured lie
How strange, how hard to believe,
That you and I once thought we were friends.

THE WORTH OF AN EARTHLIFE
Some people come into your life
To make you doubt your worth –
Some people come into your life
To make you know your worth.
Some people’s death
Begins at their birth –
Some people’s birth
And rebirth
Continues all through their time on earth.
And the more you lose your sense of worth
The more you regain your sense of worth.

TIME’S TIME
There will come a time
When time will come early
And there will come a time
When time will come late
There will come a time
When time will come in handy
And there will come a time
Where time will become problematic
Whatever time it is
There will come a time
When you meet it
And when you need it
But have it no more.
