1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Discover me

Once upon a time

This man he had to rhyme

He was a rather grumpy guy

And he did not like to lie

Spontaneous was he

Imaginative as can be

Sarcasm flooded him

Bursting from within

Moralistic fool

Certainly not cool

Principally strong

Hates being wrong

Such a stubborn fool

Bullied at school

Unpopular to the max

Will never look back

1. Rhyming poetry to change your day

Play your life, roll the dice

Sun is rising, Oh so hot

Sat here naked, Wondering what

To do with my day

Or should I just lay

Not a care in the world

The time can unfurl

To be free to be

What ever I want truly

No restraints

No complaints

No pain

No refrain

Liberation

Respiration

Play your life

Roll the dice

Fate, or is it?

.

What do you think about fate?

What does it say to you?

Is it what’s meant to happen?

What life puts you through?
I ask myself the question

Then I say I’m gonna change it

Then I ask myself again

Has it changed or was it this?
I’m not happy in life

Was it meant to be?

It’s me who decides.

Am I sure? Am I free?
We are never really free in life

Choices to be made all the time

We are all just obedient cogs

Decided that we will tow the line

Always one

Why is there always one ?

One who you cannot stand

Who gets underneath your skin

Eats away at you from within

You cannot lash out, it’s not correct!

Be the adult, it’s him the pest.

Resist resist, don’t bite you fool.

Be the bigger man, it’s all cool.

His arrogance and ego will get him.

He’ll do it all by himself.

But why is there always one?

Easy life never was any fun

New work

Forget me

I’ve thought about you

For as long as I can think

I cherish the most

How much we speak

.

All the little comments

Sparking my delight

Makes me want you even more

Not just to pass the night

.

You planted the seed

A long time ago

You nurtured the seedling

As you watched it grow

.

You would water it

As you would see fit

Not really protecting it

Just a little bit

.

When confessing my feelings

Hoping there was a chance

You would pull away

Not even a glance

.

That plant you had nurtured

Was being left to die

With words uttered forget me

It was all just a lie

New work

Without you there is no me

You said you would be here

Down by the water

As the sun rose

And we would be in each others arms

.

But you’re not here

As you promised

What’s going on?

Why did you lie?

.

I sit by the water

As if my tears had filled the lake

And all I can think

Is why did I make this mistake?

.

I trusted you

That you would be mine

I gave myself

I was your shrine

.

I left everything

And now I am here alone

I don’t even have a place

To call my home

.

Where are you?

Please find me

I can’t be by myself

Without you there is no me

New work

The warmth within

Oh how I despise

The frightfully cold delight

The wind is curling my toes

And blowing me to and fro

.

I can’t stand it anymore

I just want it to thaw

Just go away, pesky snow

On your way, begone, go

.

I’m freezing all the way to my bones

So cold, even in my home

Even this cup of tea

Is doing nothing for me

.

Rain rain and rain again

Floods ahoy, when will it end?

The bridges are closed

There’s rain to my toes

.

Breathe…… Breathe

It’s not forever

It will pass

Never say never

.

And where are the flowers?

In my wanting voice

Where are you hiding?

When can I rejoice?

.

It’s nearly here

Almost out of the woods

The forest flooded too

If only it could

.

Watching the raindrops

Trickle the window

Tracing with my finger

To and fro

.

Till that first day of warmth

Feel that sun on your skin

Oh how it feels good

Feeling the warmth within

New work

I can’t even answer why

I have found you

After all this time

Perfect for me

Finally mine

.

But doubt is sewed

That little seed

Starting to grow

Like a fucking weed

.

Why do you torment me?

I never asked

Why do you follow me?

Shine on my past

.

I’m happy now

But am I?

What do you want?

How can I know?

.

A million questions

Buzzing around

Building its nest

Deeply profound

.

I don’t know how to deal

How to even try

I have lost the skills

My will is dry

.

Will the droplet fall?

Off of the edge

Will the puddle form?

Will the thoughts pledge?

.

Will the puddle become a river ?

That my boat will sink

Or will I reach the side ?

Climb to the brink

.

I feel I would float off to the sea

There my thoughts can die

As for what to do now

I can’t even answer why

New work

Let us be one

I never thought sleeping in your arms

Would feel so good

I can’t remember the last time

I was with someone

You light me up with your smile

Your eyes magically enticing me

If this feeling was a drug

I want to stay forever dependent

There can be no consequences

Euphoric pleasure filling my blood

Inject me in my veins

And never let the supply end

Closing my eyes watching the stars

In the darkness

Forever in your warmth

Enveloping me

Crawl inside me

And let us be one
