ALL I SEE

​

 

When all things faced their back at me
And sorrow created in me a sea,
I have someone who comes to me
To tell me there's more to what I see.
When I jumped the hurdles of life
I fell flat on the floor of my flaw,
A menacing moans mounted my mouth
To gives ear to me, same one I saw.
When disappointment deigned my door
And forced frustration on my heart
Like waterfall from a hill,
I have someone who comes to me
She's always there, my Mother is all I see!

SHE WENT HOME

 

​

She went home and told her man,
That of all her life as a woman
She had known no man like me
But… She went home.
She said my heart was smoothie pure.
The words I spoke were but a cure,
That cure her issues without a fee,
But… She went home.
My praises dawned on her lips,
Each time I dished for her some tips,
That set her gauche lifestyle free

Yet...
