Be happy -
knowing that you're hurt?
Be amazed -
on how unfair life is to you?
Be sad -
believing you deserve it?

Be feeling empty -
knowing that for one day,
just one day,
you'd made me feel all these.

Today I welcome the day
with the things I did not have yesterday
a brand new day ushers new hope
to believe in myself to bring a change

below charms her arms crossed,
a mean, meaning mad, again
what it is i do not know
that brought her to
be so angry.

I sneakily disguise guise
warily trying to disarm
this cute stick of dynamite
so armed with something
I did but do I know?
What?

Approaching her warily
I brush against her side
then breathe a breath aimed
at her cheek , breathlessly,
I say' Honey,
remember last night?"

I then search for that spark
that means either all is all right,
or that that small pack of dynamite,
is
about to go off.

I find solace in the clouds
-she brings rain
to cool my brow

tranquil in my fever-
I close my eyes
and leave here

solace in tranquility.
