I see it on their faces.
Something is not right.
A thinking look, fragile like lace,
A worrying sight.

All six of them look fine,
But I see behind those eyes.
They wonder what times left
Before one day he gulp dies….

Sometimes they’d joke,
With their nieces and nephews in the room.
And went they don’t, they sort of mope.
Face blank, mind thinking.
Worrying for the one they love the most.
Because if you try, somehow, someone can see through it

A Spell Of Courage
Khadi Alza Apr 6
What is it, my dear?
Why is there a tear,
Glistening down your cheek.
What is it, dear child, do you seek?

Oh, fairy godmother!
It is they, they're the bother!
With their snobbish attitude,
Leaving me here, in solitude.

They make my heart aches,
While I give them smiles that are all fakes.
They don't listen to me!
You see,
They cut my words like a dagger,
Which makes them the ragger!

Life with them is tough
And if I try to talk, they'll scoff.
So I just keep quiet,
While they make a nonsense riot.

Fairy godmother, I beg of you,
To cast a spell that's true,
That would help me
And set me free.

Oh, that, my dear, I can.
But here's the plan:
You follow after me,
For saying what I say is the key.

Let your voice roar like thunder,
And not carelessly blunder.
Let you stand tall like a mountain in the storm,
With your bravery taking form.

Say what you need to say,
For how else would they change their ways?
Let them hear you roar like a lion,
So you'd stand out like Orion.

With words of strength and a heart of gold,
Let courage take flight, and make you bold.

Burned UP Passion
Khadi Alza Apr 28
The skies are grey,
My mind, now blank.
I cannot go another day,
Staring into this empty plank.

It shouldn't be dull and grey,
Cause it should be a colourful array!
For me to be proud of,
But now, I'd rather give it a shove.

But what happens when that fire inside you dies?
What happens then?
Do you have to keep telling them lies
And asking yourselves when?

Or maybe the fire hasn't died,
Dimmed is all. I thought it lied.
For a passion like this, don't disappear,
Maybe it's hiding itself under the pier.

But the fire inside you does die.
One day,
Someday.
And I'm afraid that day is near.

Alone
Khadi Alza May 7
A little girl all alone,
With no place to call home.
Her red shoes the only thing she owns,
Given to her by a grumpy old gnome.

exhaustion
Khadi Alza May 7
My body aches,
My eyes droop.
Legs on fire,
Arms no use.

Energy low,
Yet I push my self.
Then, COLLAPSE!
Into your arms.

You hold me close,
Yet it’s not use.
My whole body’s on fire.
Hope I don’t burn you too…

— The End —
