Conceal your tears behind a smile Don’t cry, let no one see you swea… Keep your woes in secret exile Your biggest hurts you must forget Bury the grief that burns inside

Balcony, he sat in early morning The waves on the starboard he’s be… The gray ocean, choppy, looks forb… And the next few hours may be daun… For nimbus clouds towards the ship…

Rain never ending Barren hillsides devouring Mudslides triggering The rain’s often a blessing Or catastrophe brewing!

A sweet smile twinkle in her eyes Happiness unmistakable Squealing she runs to her mother Excitement uncontrollable Watching her reaction priceless

Buds on trees flow’ring With the mercury rising Soon will be blooming Crystal brook tinkling The sound of water flowing

Just for Laughs We’re amidst a drought Save water, shower next week Make it really quick Save it for a cup of tea

nestled in my folds a serpent sleeps, coiled in fate waiting for her touch sweet figs mask the whispered deat… gold and venom, silken breath

At the intersection of happiness And sadness: pure joy and unresolv… You’ll find a man, no feelings and… A sociopath who’s morally adrift! No other person can be at that poi…

Beneath his harsh tone, An ache he cannot let go Grief’s quiet poison In lashing out, he conceals The black emptiness he feels

On an old rocking chair, he sat Daydreaming, in a reverie Grinning, a beaming Cheshire cat Rememb’ring days fun and carefree Flashbacks of youthful escapades

The years had passed, yet here we… Our voices strong, our laughter br… As if the past were clear in sight No time could ever stifle that We spoke of days so wild and free

Sleet then freezing rain Impassable roads highways Perhaps many days Fireplace roaring flames Keeping warm the dreary room

Plucked from a tree branch Shoved into a witch’s hand; I had big dreams, man! Not to be some cursed death snack My fate is truly out of whack
