It’s Your Birthday Dad – 30 December
It’s your birthday Dad
But I am feeling sad
Because you are not here
For whom I party and cheer
You love your chocolate cake
As well as some chips with steak
Always looking forward to your gifts
Your lovely smile automatically lifts
Today just feels so empty
I was looking forward to plenty
I am aching from the inside
This feeling, I can just not hide

One Of Those Days
Just one of those days
That feels like a maze
Looking for what to do
Don’t have a damn clue
Ticked off the long checklist
Though social life is dearly missed
The clock is moving fast
Similar to battles of wave and blast
The lockdown is in progress
Oh what a punitive distress
Favourite places are all closed
Hospitality industry seems fully deposed
...

A Rainy Day
The sound of rain
Similar to pouring grain
Streaming on the window
What a beautiful glow
Get on those boots
No need for trendy suits
Jump in the muddy puddle
Forgetting the pain and struggle
Rain drizzling on my face
Not moving from this place
Such a beautiful feeling
This weather is so appealing
Wind pushing the rain away
Come again another da...

Holidays
The holidays are finally here
Dance to the front, dance to the rear
Let the soul unwind and undo
Yet there is so much to get through
Countdown for Christmas has begun
But nothing much can be done
Back into lockdown, now tier four
No more guests knocking at the door
Last minute plans have to change
The whole process feels boring and strange
Lives must be save...

Beaten
A cute and innocent child
So adorable and mild
Was beaten by her mother
Which she kept hidden
Under the duvet cover
For the littlest mistakes
Which all kids make
Would be like torture
Similar to a day of scorcher
What is the need?
For such an evil deed
Mothers are usually caring
Not harsh and blaring
Those slaps and pinches
Like wild cats counting inches
...Tuesday 15th December 2020 5:17 pm
Stay Strong
Hold your head high
Ability to reach the sky
No looking behind
Just a stress-free mind
Face the hurdles
Travelling in circles
Forget the fears
Wipe away those tears
Listen to yourself
Not someone else
It is your freedom and life
Ignoring each and every strife
Be the strong one
Unique like none
Make it work
Joys of affliction lurk
...

Let It Go
Let those grudges go
The world needs a glow
Life is too short
Let’s be each other’s support
No point being angry or sad
Let it go and be glad
So much to look forward to
Rather than sitting and feeling blue
Ups and downs are normal
Don’t be too formal
Close your eyes and lean back
No need to paint that heart black
Hold onto those that love you
K...

Time Is Ticking
The time is ticking
Quickly do the picking
So much on that list
Can shroud in the mist
Make use of the time
Go that extra mile and climb
No ending to definitive success
Just the green button to press
Hold on tight and firmly
And try not to worry
Learning new skills or hobbies
It will be part of many stories
Time will not reverse
Things can go f...

Escape
Switch off your devices
And escape this crisis
Let your eyes close
As the imagination flows
In between a heavenly jungle
Where animals laugh and mumble
Joining them in their wildly dance
Observing the mountain from a glance
Swimming through the grimy mud
Similar to that of a crocodile’s blood
Smelling so natural and fresh
Watching fish caught in the mesh
...Thursday 3rd December 2020 11:07 pm
A Walk Outside
Waking up before the dawn
Getting those trainers on
Making the move outside
Join in for an adventure and ride
Grass swaying side to side
The ducks have nowhere to hide
The fountain spraying water over a distance
What a beautiful view and existence
Buses and cars driving by
White clouds covering the gorgeous sky
A mixture of tunes in my ears
The beauty of ...

Helping The Poor
Helping the poor
Is on my list for sure
They are still one of us
Without money and shelter thus
My duty is to look after them
Being a beautiful gem
With a generous heart and soul
That has always been my goal
Giving some of my earning
Without betrayal or turning
Hoping to put a smile on their face
Showing them my love and grace
Probably not their fault
That th...

Flavours Of Cooking
Cooking is an art
Comes from the heart
No right or wrong
Just be brave and strong
Get out those pots and pans
Play with ingredients using hands
Toss them all in with a smile
Taking care of the diners’ lifestyle
Flavours to enhance taste buds
Similar to the ocean floods
Though these can be varied
The ingredients all get married
A variety of dishes ...

The Perfect Poet
Writing from my heart
Been like this from the start
No fancy words or phrases
So fans don’t fall into mazes
Love to make poems rhyme
Expressions and thoughts that sublime
Usually quite concise and punchy
Reaching different people in every country
Some poems are funny, some intense
Fans realise and start making sense
All coming straight from the soul
Deter...

That Time Of Season – Winter
Here comes that time of season
That always has a valid reason
Wrapping up in the cosy duvet
Similar to robbing the Goulet
Wearing those thick and warm socks
That feels like it is stuffed with rocks
Turning the heating on day and night
And watching the striking darkness, no light
Having warm drinks and soup
To avoid nasty aches and croup
Popping on the jacket...
Monday 23rd November 2020 10:57 pm
Want To Party
I want to party all night
Keep the stress out of sight
Not get into an awful fight
Just make the gloomy times bright
Lockdown is really killing it
No friends around, just sit sit sit
Really hope we get out of this pit
So once again lives can be lit
Missing the awesome old days
Feels like being hit with a blaze
No party means extreme boredom
Just staring a...

Size Does Not Matter
Let me make you feel better
Your size does not matter
Every inch of you is beautiful
No chance of being irrefutable
Don’t hide your real beauty
Your sense of a simple duty
Show them what you have
Display those gorgeous calves
No need to feel insecure
If you do, I have the cure
Get those lovely hips moving
Your size will not stop you from roving
Fr...

Never Loved You
I never loved you
Being honest and true
I was forcedly tied
So I had to abide
You were not my sort
So I took you to court
Your true colours came out
Without me having to shout
Though we felt rumpy-pumpy once
I utterly found you to be a dunce
For which I paid the price for
Thanks to my mother for sure
A signature on a piece of paper
Does not mea...
Saturday 21st November 2020 11:05 pm
Single
Being single is my game
It gives me so much fame
No arguments or blames
Or calling out dirty names
I am a good flirt
That is truly overt
Wearing a beautiful skirt
With my stunning red shirt
Not tied up with anyone
Just have one gorgeous son
Enjoying life and having fun
Not thinking about what is done
Feels like I am sweet sixteen
I am here and ...
Friday 20th November 2020 4:30 pm
Trust
Trust is very hard to obtain
Once broken, it can cause pain
Similar to shards of glass
Totally difficult to walk pass
Times are changing so fast
People are not like how they were in the past
As some may have two sides
Of which one the mirror hides
The current timings make it hard to trust
Feels likes the heart is bleeding in dust
People can change instantly
...Wednesday 18th November 2020 10:50 pm
Move To The Rhythm
Let’s just live it up
Like an icy crystal cup
Whether sad or happy
Or just feeling snappy
Let’s move and shake
And wriggle like a snake
There is no right or wrong
Never weak, but always strong
Move to the rhythm
Blinded by the vision
Hear the sound and beat
Giving that ooze and heat
Shake off your body
Similar to a hot toddy
It will free you...
Tuesday 17th November 2020 3:46 pm
Memories
Memories are to treasure
Bringing back blossom with pleasure
Regardless of the good or sad
It is the preeminent you ever had
Memories are like an album
Similar to that of platinum
Looking at what you went through
Visioning what you can do
Some memories are permanently wiped out
Don’t want to tell anyone what it was about
No need to keep them stored in
Jus...

Festival Of Lights
Here comes the festival of lights
The one that makes the year bright
Gathering, eating and praying together
Similar to the shining sapphire weather
Diwali is the time for celebrations
No need to send out specific invitations
The entire nation can join in
Regardless of race, ethnicity and skin
Let us all celebrate Diwali together
And remain as one forever

I Am The Girl
All falling for my beauty
Because I am such a cutie
So elegant and naughty
Even when I turn forty
Doing the impish things
Using my gorgeous wings
Soaring fire that sings
Discarding vicissitudes that life brings
Turning the world from misery to glory
Disentangling the dim-remembered story
Similar to that of a limestone quarry
Do you understand my allegory?
...Saturday 14th November 2020 3:50 pm
Smile
I am going to make you smile
Help you go that extra mile
It does not cost anything
Outfly the bird with your super wing
Smiles are completely free
Try it, at least for me
Your worries and stress will end
Because you have me as your good friend
Don’t hide your beautiful smile
Similar to paperwork in a file
Let it take over your burden
And cover it up behin...

Fly With Me
Come and fly with me
You will be able to see
Beautiful colours of this world
That have gradually unfurled
Come and fly with me
Open your eyes with this key
Discover the charms of nature
And every happy living creature
Come and fly with me
Let it out and be free
So many opportunities arising
Is it not abundantly surprising?
Come and fly with me

Thursday 12th November 2020 11:17 pm
Freedom
I love to open my wings and be free
Be as happy as I can possibly be
Leaving the sorrows and fears behind
Making it exclusively difficult to find
I am not into marriages or tied relationships
Though I still enjoy a kiss on my delicate lips
I don’t like being controlled or dominated
It makes me feel severely incriminated
I like to explore and be innovative
Multi...

I Am Real
I have a line of fans
Who clap their hands
Because of who I am
Not hidden behind the cam
I am a shining star
That can take you far
I don’t have two sides
Nor any surprising rides
I don’t have a mask on
Fresh like the beautiful dawn
I am undoubtedly real
Making me so ideal
Once you are in my world
I guarantee you will never be hurled
Because ...

Father
Why did you leave me?
The worst tragedy that can be
You were always by my side
It feels like there is no place to hide
You used to fill me with sunshine
Because you were always mine
Our bonding was like no other
Not the one you had with my sister or brother
Life feels empty without you
My heart feels tangled up in blue
Seems like you are watching me from hea...

The Missing Sunday
Imagine Sunday being missed in the week
Similar to somebody that is scared to speak
It would feel like something is not right
As difficult it was to tell black from white
A missing Sunday means no rest
Nothing would be better or the best
No friends, family, games or fun
Like silent public streets with the missing sun
Sunday is about feet up with a cuppa
And pla...

The Parcel Courier
When he knocks on the door
It feels nothing like before
He gazes into my eyes
Making my beautiful soul rise
He greets me with a smile
Standing on the doorstep for a while
Probably wants to utter some words
Similar to flocking and hungry birds
He seems like a charm
That can be of no harm
Though he is a stranger
I cannot disregard the danger
He does...

Loneliness
Loneliness is a killer
Don’t look in the mirror
There is nobody around
Not a single scream or sound
The room is empty
Even if you count to twenty
No knocking on the door
The owls called out no more
Let me be the colourful fireworks
That gives strength and funny quirks
Killing this loneliness in seconds
Just follow my powerful beckons
Get up and da...

Lockdown Blues
Once again we feel blue
Without having a clue
When life will go back to normal
Without getting too formal
The lockdown has begun
There is no place to run
I can only sense misery
That is causing a lot of injury
We need to make the most of it
To ensure we don’t fully quit
Maybe learn a new skill
Rather than just sitting still
Life does not end here
...Friday 6th November 2020 11:16 pm
Keep Trying
There are times when you will fall
And bang your head against the wall
Some doors will close for good
Even though we did the best we could
Many obstacles will appear your way
The aim is to not let them stay
Pull yourself together and keep trying
Tell yourself it is not worth dying
Keep pushing yourself to reach your aim
Fate will come to you with fame
Believ...

Hatred
Why is there so much hate?
The world needs love of heavy weight
People are losing their faith
And scared to jump out of their wraith
Religion, ethnicity and culture are a label
We are all linked together like a cable
Why can’t we all be one?
And fill each other’s life with fun
It does not matter what your race
Or the colour of your face
We are in this world ...
Tuesday 3rd November 2020 10:50 pm
Dance It Out
Let your body groove
As you have nothing to prove
Life is too short to be sad
Or even become mad
No need to sit quietly
You can get up finally
Dance the night away
Like there is no other day
Let your body unwind
Just free your mind
There is no need to worry
Just hang on, what is the hurry?
Release your beautiful soul
As if out of control
Dan...

Love Is Blind
Love is a beautiful flower
Just like a relaxing warm shower
It does not matter what the gender
You just have to happily surrender
Feelings cannot be hidden away
Is this not what you wanted me to say?
No need to be scared of the world
As long as you are in my arms, nicely curled
It does not matter what the age, ethnicity and sex
Because love is not about being c...

It Is Not About Money
Money does not mean everything
It does not give you the breath to sing
It can be a challenge to earn
Making the heart wither and burn
Love cannot be replaced by money
As it does not make life very sunny
But nowadays it is about the status
Similar to firemen wearing breathing apparatus
Money cannot buy happiness
Maybe just a little touch of tenderness
I canno...

Express Yourself
Let yourself open up
Go on, break that cup
Show me how you feel
And I will make you heal
Don’t keep it stored in
Or you will never win
Look yourself in the eye
Let me help you reach the sky
What is keeping you curled?
Understand this is a free world
Where you cannot be controlled
As you are not a product sold
Let me dig into you
And see why you...

Don’t Be My Guest Covid
You have hit us all so hard
My heart feels deeply scarred
When are you going to let us go?
You have already given us a big blow
Many lives have been lost
But how would you understand the cost?
You just want to take take take
And continue spreading the damn outbreak
Life has become so boring and dull
It has traumatised my inner skull
Let us live our lives to ...

Spring's Paradise
As the Earth’s alignment is tilted towards the Sun…
And the number of daylight hours increase…
The trees put forth new leaves…
Making nature look exquisite and at peace!
In the early morning, we hear birds chirping in trees…
The cuckoos’ sweet notes captivating us…
The bees’ hum filling our souls with delights…
Prompting that Spring is here, so banish the gloomy gus!

Dedicated To You
Let me thank all the famous writers around the world
Who have inspired me to get hold of my pen and notebook
Without them, my mind would have just whirled
Making me feel like an old pothook.
I enjoy delving into the writing of many famous people
From the well-known Robert Hayden to Emily Dickinson
These are just a few names to scribble
There are many more, which are yet t...

Happiness
It is hard to be happy
When you feel crappy
But we have to try
Before our soul says bye
Littlest things can cheer us
Or make us want to fuss
Let’s try and be blissful
To make time more peaceful
Happiness is like a rainbow
Which you want to show
Some colours may fade
But some may have a deeper shade
I want to be happy
And avoid living in the all...

Dreamer
Every dreamer loves to dream
Either with eyes open or shut
Clearly they can see the gleam
An amazing feeling in their gut
Dreams may not come true
As god makes the plan
Dreamers’ heart may break in two
But they are back where they began
Life and dreams may not match
Which dreamers do not realise
Some prospects are there to catch
With a great deal of surpr...

Motherhood
Being a mother is a miracle
Where it brings a shine of light
Even though condition was critical
It made my life so bright
My son is a precious gold
Which I cannot afford to lose
Even when I turn old
He will be the one I choose
Motherhood is an experience
That lasts for a lifetime
It has raised my intelligence
Way above the country skyline
How can ...

The Jungle of Horror
As the night approaches
The jungle gets dark
I see the appearance of spooky cockroaches
As well as a bloodcurdling shark
I lay my tent near the creepy hills
Close my eyes to take a deep breath
Suddenly I get strange chills
Open my eyes to see dead Beth
I start running towards the woods
Feeling extremely petrified
I cover myself with two hoods
Till I hear ...

The Eleventh Hour (Poem)
The battlefield is finally clear
Thank you to those that have sacrificed
Without you the country would have been in fear
And innocent lives would have been sliced
Let us all cheer for the victory
And the brave soldiers that put their hearts to it
This gave us the everlasting liberty
Otherwise our country would have split
Those with courage have passed away
But ...
Wednesday 12th August 2020 3:03 pm
Life (Poem)
Life is a game
Without any shame
We have to move on
Before we are gone
Life can be challenging
We may be panicking
There is no way out
Other than to shout
People want to hurt us
And make life a fuss
We have to face it
Or fall into a pit
Let’s wake up
And be happy as a pup
There is so much to do
Without feeling so blue
Life is beau...
