Traveller's Rants

My eyes tell tales of loss,
when I try, I fall and things go for a toss,
The joke is that those who saw me falling,
befriended me again, when I got up, they came calling,
They don't know of the struggles that come with the climb,
When I needed their help, they had no time.

I gotta be strong and move this boulder,
Too many ambitions upon my shoulder,
I got nothing but these words I write,
Unfulfilled dreams keep me up all night,
I can't live on words and silly rhymes,
But I sing what I feel inside,
Life's too short and love is precious,
I don't want to be someone pretentious...

Life has got its many highs and lows,
To some failures I have been exposed,
Hopes were shattered and dreams were ruined,
Then I run and hide to save my skin,


It is a long journey to the top,
Makes me stronger, even if I fall change tracks, or make a quick stop.
I've become an experienced fool, a strong survivor,
With a love and zest for life and the eye of a tiger.
Happiness and comfort are fair-weather friends,
They come and go as they please, not there till the end.
With my health and breath, I tread onward,
With new thoughts new friends, new experiences, as I move forward.
I can't ask for too much, its all a ride,
Taking things one step at a time,
Always hoping, always praying,
For a life worthwhile, still in the making.
Despite all avenues on earth being uncertain,
I'll still be bold, break loose,  and win.

What's at stake with a Mistake

Image
Samples in plain sight for all to see, examples of how not to be, Using the wrong tools for the right work, All stupidity I should have rather shirked, How could I avoid a mistake in the first place? Good and bad were so well interlaced , So many slight actions, slight signs, slight words, Hello! Something's wrong here! I always find myself being nice, then I look back and say, I should have thought twice, work-analyse-regret and again work-analyse-regret, Seems like a chain of actions that repeats itself, and then I fret and forget, I can see a pattern emerging here, It is replete with passiveness and fear, although there is a superhuman within, I fail to feed it and it grows thin, Took a chance on something and someone that seemed remotely worthwhile, I took to heart, useless feeedback ,with a forced smile. Didn't know where to run, didn't know where to hide I saw smiling faces all around me, yet I sensed that there was going to be a landslide, I needed to break this cycl...

Eyes Wide Shut

Eyes wide open, crying Heart thought things would work out, at the start, Tears of sadness, piercing stone When he left her, she felt all alone. Love of her life, gone away, Her sole wish was that he'd stay. She moved herself to get to him, But,it made no difference since he'd already been taken. She'd give him everything he wanted, She wanted him to be happy with her, life would be sorted. But, there were others who vied for him, He'd let them fall for him and the fools rushed in. From amongst the sadness, The past also held moments of gladness, Laughter and smiles abounded whilst she basked in his presence, She sang, danced and learnt some important life lessons, She wanted to be his gift, His muse that guarateed an instant mood lift, If he'd want her to let go, she'd willingly comply because she wanted his dreams to soar sky high Then confusion ensued and care was lost, Energy and wasted time was the blatant cost, She still couldn't see with her eyes wid...

If the Mountain Seems Too Big Today.....

If the mountain seems too big today  then climb a hill instead; If morning brings you sadness  it’s okay to stay in bed.  If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,  There’s no shame in rearranging,  don’t make yourself feel worse. If a shower stings like needles  and a bath feels like you’ll drown; If you haven’t washed your hair for days,  don’t throw away your crown! A day is not a lifetime. A rest is not defeat. Don’t think of it as failure, Just a quiet, kind retreat.  It’s okay to take a moment From an anxious, fractured mind. The world will not stop turning While you get realigned! The mountain will still be there When you want to try again You can climb it in your own time, Just love yourself till then!                                              ...
