never unhappy

pull yourself together

retreat

into your soul

breathe mindfully

and

you will never be unhappy again

an irresolute attribute

beauty

is an irresolute attribute

for

at its prime

instills vanity

but when it fades

it gives way

to a diffident old age

a beautiful soul

it’s God’s gift

when you have good looks

and people love you

but

what about the beautiful soul

which is

always overlooked

Lost poetry

“where did you go?”

I asked my poetry

“you went…

in the search of greener pastures ”

she replied…

violated

talk to my face

let your eyes focus

on my eyes

dont let them wander

down my neck …to my breasts

for it unnerves me

as

i am a mother,a sister and a wife

and the way you stare

makes me feel violated

marital discord

Sleeping in separate rooms

The whirring of the air conditioner

Keeps me company

connection

walking along

the crowded roads

a sea of people

in their own worlds

a microcosm

they carry

with them,

detached…

…yet connected…

by life
