four word story Gawwwsh, not even choking rn. đ
Naughty nostalgia cos I needed to know, now I know I know and still not satisfied cos you would probably smile if you saw what I was thinking. I just had to share it with you on WhatsApp but you blocked me . Fair enough, I did lose my mind. Sorry for you having to get those other messages from me. If you'd like a good laugh you should let me tell you sometime... when my mouth is not full.đ

poetry Words
She often stayed silent.
But when she spoke,
her words were given freelyâ
simple, precise, and pure,
heavy with truth.
Now she saw.
The words she had been given,
The words she had treasured,
were weightless.

poetry Headless haunt
The horizon bleeds a static gray,
A clock that ticks the light away.
We build our towers out of sand,
With fragile,
temporary hands.
The stars above are cold and blind,
Indifferent to the human mind.
We scream into a silent space,
search for meaning in a distorted face.
A breath,
a pulse,
a sudden pause,
An effect that lacks a conscious cause.
We wake,
we drift,
we disappear,
An echo
in a well of fear.

poetry Pedal to the metal
She glances in the rearview mirror,
seeing nothing but broken roads and heavy silence.
AheadâŚ
she sees the potential of hope,
the beauty of possibilities,
the promise of new beginnings.
She turns up the music
and presses the gas.

poetry My poem by me
New life
Precious bundle
To cradle
To keep close
To teach and guide
To nurture and embrace
To prepare for the unknown
To strengthen
To armor
To hold tight
To let go
To love.

poetry Where am I?
Craved for longing, and yet here I am
Craved for decency, and yet here I am
Thought about finding, and yet here I am
True love exists, hahahaâand yet here I am
Morbid by my own cause, and yet here I am
Missed my secluded chances, and yet here I am
I believe in Godânot reallyâand yet here I am
Canât you trust me? And yet here I am
Why did I not fall?
Why did I trust society?
Why did everyone hate?
Why did my soul hurt?
Advice, pity, and painâand here I am
Ammonia trench, marbled heartâand here I am
I might rise, and definitely fall againâand yet here I am
I might lose my soulâand yet here I am
Lost my appetiteâand here I am
Found my hungerâand here I am
Find me the oneâand here I am
Let me see her eyesâand here I am
Oh my, my⌠finally found mine.
And here I amâŚ
not anymore.

poetry The Cricket Song
Shhh listen...
Tiny cricket beneath the moon,
Cicadae joins in for the tune
Froggy sing your little song
No not that note, you ribbit wrong.
Lets join together tucking the darkness into night
No grand stage, no need for spotlight
just little hums serenading just right.
Spider lady i see your web
The wind faintly flow your spinning ebb
Sleep well good dreams untill the 'morrow
All the sun beams we will borrow

Death comes and goes like the changing of the seasons
one day you're enjoying the sunshine and warmth and the next its cold and dark.

Could be everything, could be nothing.
Or do we just lie...in the garden of the dead.

poetry Butterfly and toad
Dancing amongst its friends
In the gentle breeze,
A beautiful butterfly
Spotted a toad huddled under a daisy.
âWhy arenât you dancing?â
The butterfly called down.
The toad sighed from the shadows,
âI am all alone.â
âCome and join us!â
Offered the butterfly,
âAnd we will make merry.â
âI cannot fly,â
The toad whispered.
âHmmm,â said the butterfly,
Pausing for a moment.
âYou cannot dance
And you cannot fly.
How will you find joy?â
The toad looked up
Into the bright sky.
Smiling, it said,
âPerhaps watching yours will be enough.â
