Just Look Around

Simple joys of life all around, stop and smell the coffee brew,

Lend an ear to the busker, the music will surely grow on you.

Marvel at beautiful flowers, and the melodious chirping of birds,

That child in the park with a book, lost in the world of wizards.

Smile at the sun, sing in the rain, feel the surrounding gentle breeze,

When water turns to ice outside, enjoy the warmth of your woollies.

Take time to see the sunset, admire the changing colours of the sky,

Nothing 'big' happened, yet what an amazing day just went by.

Special One

Valuable things accompanied, as you walked into my seeking existence,
Igniting spark and spirit within, which otherwise burned in a distance.
Keyed in with perfect harmony, fulfilled all my unknown alien wants,
Raison d'être is your unconditional love, for my inescapable response.
A steady base now laid of relationship, peaceful future is what I dream,
My love promises to be by your side, whatever way the winds may lean.

Sugar and Salt

Life is a bed of roses indeed; a full bloom calls for its prickly spine.
Akin to the plentiful slash and slice, indispensable for a diamond’s shine.

Constant conflict with conspiring world; lose many and triumph a few.
Fall shows the courage to combat, rise like fallen warrior and try anew.

Extended days spent toiling in soil, in the face of scorching sun bright.
Lay to rest or keep at it, the shrubs grow in shade and the trees in light.

2 spoon salt for every 1 of sugar, as too much sweet is sign for danger.
Risk to misconstrue the mirror reflection, and be faced with a stranger.
