    This one here was recently created for my Pudding of my life. Hope you like it.

    I always remember how I first saw you;
    It was a common night but a wonderful sight;
    I was staring at a girl who was wearing a smile,
    That made a wonderful night just a common sight.

    I knew I was under a spell,
    When my mind began to dismiss and let the heart transform its thoughts into a poem;
    It traversed the horizon which separates reality and fantasy;
    I ended up resting in a meadow of your beauty.

    Thereon, all went well and we started ourlives together;
    There have been a lot of mishaps and yet here we are,
    Charging towards our destiny;
    With you I know this is victory.

    Writing words to describe how I feel is certainly not enough;
    My actions have subdued throughout the years;
    Manning the ship we are on, I failed to appreciate you as the other lead;
    Sitting here in the corner, I began to recall..

    Before I met you, I had always been looking for signs;
    Staring into space, sending off my soul,
    To an alternate universe of desires;
    Designing an absolute fate that I own.

    Thinking of you, I finally discovered,
    You have always been the sign,
    And it was you and me waiting each other's souls to cross paths.
    For when it happened, it stayed forever.

    I remember the night when I first saw you;
    Outside, the night was when all the stars gathered in dusk heaven, fashioning different patterns of entities and twinkling around the crescent moon;
    All the universe showered an ever-glow whose brightness only spoke of wonder;
    I wonder why I wasn't there;
    Oh! I forgot I was staring at my destiny..

    This place went quiet. Anyway, the first of two poems that I'm sharing this month; Backup.

    Hurt by the stone
    Hurled from a throne
    Left on one’s own
    Afar from the known

    A great wide view
    Of the grey and blue
    Unseen to you
    Evermore, it is true

    Backup, you need it
    Ground, you cede it
    Advice, you heed it
    Honesty, you bleed it

    Erased from the board
    Escaped from the hoard
    To hit one last chord
    Before it’s assured

    Traffic, you hear it
    Camera, you’re near it
    Public, you fear it
    Private, you smear it

    Truth out of sight
    Lies multiplied by might
    A group in the light
    Backup tonight

    August 2019 Poem 2, Beneficial. (A bit later than I had originally intended, but here it is).

    A race against the inclination
    Time-honoured hands hold with frustration
    The note which reads your heart aloud
    The darker thoughts leave you not proud

    Smile or frown, both are upside-down
    Expressions become the world’s new clown
    Truth in writing obfuscated
    Meaning loved but reason hated

    The waiting game too often played
    A shadow ignored, a guilt displayed
    The benefit seen by a mere few
    From the concoction that they brew

    A withering hope left to rot
    A story untold and tied in a knot
    To make it back from the brink
    Only to be the one to sit and think

    Is it beneficial? How do you know?
    Is it expedient, in the back row?
    Is it intelligent, this grand design?
    Is it beneficial? If it isn’t, then fine.

    This is the place
    So dark and groovy
    It's certainly a mace
    Almost like a movie

    Keeping up with the pace
    It's certainly not easy
    Creating my own base
    My breath is so wheezy

    To think I would join
    After OroJackson
    A kick in my groin
    It's time to take action

    September 2019 Poem 1, Obstacle. Only poem this month as I struggled to motivate myself these past few weeks.

    Difficult, not impossible
    Struggle, not unbearable
    Dreams that are believable
    Goals that are achievable

    Problem solving, not wishing
    Thinking through it, not around it
    This is a good start

    Obstacle that you see ahead
    Face the challenge, move forward
    A scheme to undermine you
    Only if you perceive it so

    Try something, try anything
    Do it, overcome that obstacle
    That’s the idea, at least

    A myriad of possibilities
    None of them stand alone
    Choosing from a crowd
    Who catches the first stone?

    Steady yourself now
    The truth is coming
    Maybe the obstacle
    Might just be too great

    October 2019 Poem 1, Phoenix.

    Watching it die is painful
    Its cry pierces through all that hear it
    Turning away is disdainful
    Though it is best not to be near it

    The light erupts and is blinding
    The pain is felt and known
    The moment is scarred and winding
    The memory lingers, not shown

    The fire burns with an intense heat
    Hotter than when it was alive
    The scorching marks left on the street
    Were indicative of its dive

    Just minutes after the cries of pain
    The majestic creature withers away
    Until only ashes remain
    A reminder of the loss that day

    Yet those ashes do not rest
    For they begin to stir
    First they form a welcoming nest
    And then, the unhatched bird

    A mythical nest and a mythical egg
    Resting in an unlikely place
    To everyone, the witness does beg
    To leave the egg and save face

    The phoenix died today
    But also was reborn
    And finally the people say
    They are less forlorn

    November 2019 Poem, Jebediah. Something a little different, and a note that whatever I had in my head for earlier weeks disappeared, so I only have this poem this month.

    Jebediah
    You conspire
    To be the fire
    On the pedestal

    I see right through you
    And tell it to you
    I know what you want
    and you are a fool

    Go the distance
    Feel resistance
    Back to business
    A supplement for you
    and your outdated life

    Triumph hardly
    Be foolhardy
    And return
    To your little hovel

    Jebediah
    Down to the wire
    Are you on fire?
    That’s more than just a little spark

    Ham-fisted rumour
    Fat twisted humour
    A cut that is only
    Skin deep

    Learn yourself
    Through metaphors
    View the very ground
    As a weapon of war

    Jebediah
    Lookin’ spryer
    You’ve been fired?
    Well it’s back to the drawing board

    Left alone
    Without a home
    Mind your dome
    Glass shatters
    When there’s too many cracks

    Enough subjective
    Barely objective
    Feeling protective
    Not quite effective
    It’s enough to let you lose your mind

    No end in sight
    Die as you might
    It’ll be alright
    Before the eyes flood with black

    Jebediah
    Ascended higher
    Safe from fire
    Now where shall the rest of us go?

    Wanted to share something that will be in the next chapter of Terminus, a sea shanty entitled I'd Happily Die At Sea.

    Oh, the sunrise o’er the ocean blue
    It makes me want to dance
    Until my skin is a purple hue
    For that’s a true romance.

    The sea, she is my only friend,
    to this I can attest,
    and if I were to die with her,
    that would be oh the best.

    Oh, I’d happily die at sea
    There are no other ways,
    A thousand pardons, but for me
    That’s how I’ll spend my days.

    A life so wild is well-lived
    I’ll show ye how it’s done,
    Now’s not the time to be pensive
    We’re out here having fun.

    Oh, a penny to my name
    Is treasure enough for me,
    When nothing ever looks the same
    Upon the open sea.

    The shanty comes to its last verse
    I hope your spirits soared
    ‘Cause if not then a pirate’s curse
    Shall be your soul’s reward.

    First poem of 2020, Word Soup.

    Meat, meta, mate, team, tame
    All different words but the letters the same
    If you get confused, just remember the name
    It means another mean or median lion’s mane

    Beat, beta, bate, mead, made, dame
    Four letters can be versatile and far from lame
    A meal for the soul, maelstrom, male name
    Much to take in, so treat as a game

    Game, mega, mage, lead, deal, dale
    Perhaps you’d figure this idea would grow stale
    Hardly, you’ve yet to hear the tale
    Of the hare running late, its jacket a bright teal, what a steal

    Laid, dial, leek, keel, loaf, foal
    This word soup keeps pouring, so what is the goal?
    A cafe saves face by saving the vase
    The second before it can fall

    East, eats, seat, sate, teas
    Perhaps you could tell me what everyone else sees?
    A cape keeps up pace, peeks at speaking peace
    And in finite states there are tastes

    Shut, huts, tush, hubs, bush
    The possible speeds by with a daring whoosh
    But by now, I’ve kept you long enough
    Perhaps I missed some, but this rhyming thing is tough
