_Blue Ticks_

_By Star Boy Jr. & Nadien_


Alone in the night, I wait for a sign,
A message, a word, a glimmer to shine.
But all I see are those cruel little ticks,
Blue and mocking, my heart takes the licks.

I poured out my soul in those heartfelt lines,
Hoping for solace, for love to entwine.
But silence echoes through the cold screen,
As my hopes shatter, my spirit unseen.

The blue ticks stare back, a silent rebuke,
A dagger to the heart, a painful puke.
Did my words mean nothing, my love so small?
Or was it all a game, a cruel, heartless thrall?

I long for a reply, a simple embrace,
A balm for my wounds, a saving grace.
But the ticks remain, unwavering and cold,
Leaving me stranded, in a story untold.

I search for a reason, a clue to it all,
But the silence deafens, as I hit a wall.
Was I not enough, not worthy of time?
Or was I just a fool, lost in my prime?

The blue ticks mock me, a taunting display,
A reminder of love that's faded away.
I yearn for closure, a chance to move on,
But the blue ticks linger, the pain lingers on.

So here I am, with a heart that's torn,
By the cold, cruel silence, by love forlorn.
Blue ticks mark the end, of a love's refrain,
Leaving me broken, in heartache's domain.

*Just like that*

All promise made with no compromise,
Just a while of bond in our own premise,
Explored our fantasies, not minding the falsities,
Letting go of our frinemy, so together to find our destiny.

And just like that we went,
We made mistakes and wept,
Our love, wild ocean swept,
Swept ashore with nothing left,
You left my heart with my head bent,
I felt I lost a trouser and found a belt,
So what we got were child's enjoyment,
Our feelings smelt the best but now depressed.
The soaring wounds got my head bent,
Just like calamity befalling a man's tent,
With no protection, no prevention, not even a net.
I hope this is not breakup, hope it's just a test!

A mother's love, a tireless flame,
Through sleepless nights, she carries the weight.
With weary eyes and a heart that's true,
She works on, for her family's sake.

From dawn till dusk, she never rests,
Her tiredness etched upon her face.
But in her weariness, a strength resides,
A resilience that cannot be erased.

She rises early, before the sun,
To tend to tasks, one by one.
With gentle hands and a loving touch,
She tends to her duties, never undone.

Her days are filled with endless chores,
Yet she never complains, never asks for more.
For in her heart, a love so deep,
She finds the energy to continue to soar.

Through sleepless nights and endless days,
She perseveres, in her own quiet way.
Her sacrifice, a testament of love,
A mother's work, like no other, they say.

So let us honor the tired mother's plight,
Her strength, her love, forever ignite.
For in her weariness, she finds her worth,
A mother's love, the greatest on Earth.

In hearts we find a tender flame,
A glow that seeks no pride or fame.
It whispers soft, "To all extend,
A love that's true, without pretend."

With open arms, we cast a net,
Embracing all, no lines are set.
We offer love, a gift so grand,
In every smile, in every hand.

No strings attached, no debts to pay,
Just hearts that give and light the way.
For in the end, what matters most,
Is love we share, our humble boast.

In the arms of someone new, I found a gentle place,
A harbor of calm, a realm of grace.
Their smile, a sunrise, warm and bright,
Cutting through the shadows of my longest night.

In their eyes, a tranquil sea, a soothing tide,
Where my restless heart could finally reside.
With every laugh, with every tender embrace,
I found a world filled with peace and grace.

They were the lighthouse in my stormy skies,
Guiding me home with their compassionate eyes.
In this new love, I found my peace,
A sweet release, a quiet lease.

A journey from turmoil to a serene view,
Finding grace and peace in someone beautifully new.

*Don't Mourn When I'm Gone*

I can't seem to figure this out,
I'm at a loss for what to do,
I need to escape this world of cruelty,
Leaving this harsh existence behind.

I need to say farewell,
My last farewell will suffice,
I'm drowning in muddled thoughts,
Overwhelmed by my jumbled thoughts.

The biting cold of these winter streets,
Remind me of the pain I feel inside,
Though my emotions are conflicted,I know there's hope beyond these walls.

I'm more than the sum of my suffering,
A human with a beating heart,
I'll find my way in the dark,
Through the endless possibility ahead.

So when I'm gone, don't mourn my loss,
But celebrate the life I lived,
And know that I'm at peace,
In a world beyond this strife.

I don't want to fall in love
It always ends the same
Emotions will build up
Walls will be broken down
Secrets will be whispered
Sooner or later I will fall too deep

Like floating into an ocean of brokenness and wanting to touch the bottom with your feet only to realize that it's deeper than imagined.

Look at me now, almost a second best
This I don't want to go through
I don't want to find myself lost and confused
That "I missed you" will hurt like hell because I feel the sting in my throat from edges of the words that cut so deep.

Then I lost my mind and nothing feels right anymore
My pillow yet again become my best companion
Because it hold and the tears my eyes will give out

That feeling when you look into my eyes and I could feel the vibration and connection will just be lost.
I want forever but it's just a myth

So if this is what is coming, I don't want it.
It may make my heart stop working..

A Happy Life

To live a happy life:
it is simple.
All you have to do
is try not to get yourself
killed or thrown in jail.
Stay away from anything that
threatens the life out of you.
Meet good people.
Meet bad people.
Love good people.
Love bad people.
Leave good people
Leave bad people.
Do everything in twos:
both good and bad,
live both on the edge
and then, forget everything
and go again, begin again.
You will live the same
life at least 10 times.
You will see it all for what
it is: good or bad.
You will know this,
and you will still not learn
how to get away from it.
It is all around you:
good and bad.
Just remember …
try not to get yourself killed
🍂

💬 Who are you?

*CEASE BEING A SAINT.*

Lost in thoughts
Hoping to be found
Whether by the pirates
Or the thought guards
It doesn't matter!

As I trek down the thoughts
I get to wonder
Wonder deep in the wonderland
While questions pop up in the mideast
As they get exclamation mark at the end!

My love is genuine en true
I make sacrifices for you
I've gone against tides en storms for you
I've been your wall while your getting stoned
I've taken all your foals to make you look good, I ask me why?

You saw me as a lab rat
Carrying out your tests on me
Not minding how I felt
Whether in pain or not
Satisfying yourself is all that matters.

Why put my love into test?
Have I not proved myself to you?
Why toil with my feelings en emotions?
I always come back to you like I left
It's high time I stop being a saint!

I've always loved to read. To hold a book in my arms, the scent from it's pages wafting to my nose. I've loved to build expectations of characters, to anticipate the plot and it's twists. I've loved to go through the lines, each line resonating through me like an experience. Relieving through it. I've loved to identify the heroes and the villains alike. To know who is the villain from their first introduction in the book. How beautiful it has been, that part of me. The part that found it fun reading. Sometimes a book a day sometimes just a chapter. Absorbing tidbits from all that I've read. Trivia that shaped who I've become. I am glad I got to see that. To be introduced into that world. For the recommendations I read and those still on my reading list. To everyone that has shared a book with me, I am glad. You made me.

_The fallen_

Jagged.
Jagged pieces of my heart.
On the ground.
I fell for the oldest trick in the book.
I thought i had escaped cupid's arrow.
See my heart was made of stone, from the last bout of love.
I didn't plan on falling, I just Fel(i) sha
You exfoliated the walls of my heart now it lays on my feet as a pile of scree.
Your love blew hot and cold, cracking my defenses little by little .
I gave you access to parts of me the moonlight doesn't shine on.
This is where we stand now and ocean apart,
Yet you used to part it whenever you missed me.
Distance was never a thing.
Yet now here we are, with me left with nothing but a broken heart.

`WE LEFT HOME TO FEED HOME```

We left our homes, our families *dear* ,
With heavy hearts, and eyes full of *tears* ,
But it was a sacrifice we had to make,
To give our people a chance to survive and *thrive* .

Our journey was long, and the road was *tough* ,
We walked for miles, and slept in the *rough* ,
But we never gave up, for we knew our *goal* ,
To feed the hungry, and heal the lost *soul* .

The land was barren, and the soil was *dry* ,
But we dug deep, with sweat and *sigh* ,
And planted the seeds, of hope and *love* ,
To nourish our people, below and *above* .

The sun was hot, the wind was *cold* ,
But we sowed the crops, with a heart so *bold* ,
And we watched with joy, as the seeds did *grow* ,
To give our people a future, bright and *glow* .

We left our homes, to feed our *home* ,
To give our people a chance to *roam* ,
Free from hunger, free from *fear* ,
With food and love, always *near* .

So let us continue, with all our *might* ,
To fight the hunger, with all our *might* ,
For we left our homes, to feed our *home* ,
And that's a legacy, to forever *roam* .

Ask me my crush,
Ask me what's my wish,
And what my heart wants.

I won't lie,
It's all about her,
Yes that fine smile.

Today is her day,
Day she saw the sun,
And got the brighter smile.

Maureen the star,
The hearted story,
The sweet story teller.

Happy birthday lady,
Happy birthday princess,
Queen of the spoken poetry.

Feel the best,
Win the trophies,
And be the great star.

Play to win,
Hit to score,
And kneel to pray.

Have it great,
Cheers as you dance,
And let joy fill your heart.

Happiness I wish for you,
Blessings I ask for you,
As you grow successfully.

🥰❤️❤️🥰
