Sin

Sin
Im guilty as charged
I’ve committed a sin
Im keeping my sin
Tightly within
Actually I would
Rather not
I had *** with the
Wife’s sister
She’s rather hot.
I don’t even like her
The nether regions
We’re warm
All this is going to do
Is kick up a storm.
Shall I let it run
its ugly course
Keep my sin to myself
Looks like we’re heading
For divorce
What the future holds
I shall ponder and dread
All I can say her sister
Is great in bed.
On Independence day everyone
Is from Zimbabwe today and

In the dawn’s embrace we stand tall
And proud and our voices united as
One loving nation and from the our
Struggles and our past we rise with pride
In freedom's light we choose to glide and
Zimbabwe's freedom will echo
Around the world

And Zimbabwe colours are so
Beautiful and bright and they sparkle
In the sky every night and our
Hearts are beating strong
On this very special day and
Zimbabwe the land of hope
And everlasting dreams in
Every soul our independence gleams

And Zimbabwe our nation will forever soar
So raise a glass on Independence day
And let the celebrations flow
For Zimbabwe's freedom will forever glow

And the Zimbabwe flag will
Fly high up in the clear blue sky and
A testament to freedom's gentle breeze
And Zimbabwe is forever inside our heart's

And so let unity's spirit forever
Grow and Zimbabwe
Our country a rising star
And reaching for the sky and beneath
Our nation's flag and forever
And always Zimbabwe
Our spirits will always fly high.

I used to draw on my arm all the time
Nothing big or elaborate
Just a triangle
One triangle
Then I wouldn’t hear the end of it
Everyone complaining
Ink poisoning
Future punk
What’s next, a motorcycle?
So I stopped
I stopped drawing that little triangle on my wrist
Right above my pulse point
But with it
I
Stopped
L I v I n g.
A triangle was supposed to be the strongest shape
It was supposed to make me strong
But I wasn’t even strong enough
To let it stay
Just a small note I didn’t think would be obvious if I didn’t say anything the “I v I” in “l I v I n g“ is supposed to make it look like the ‘v’ is trapped by the two ‘I’s

Whose pen commands the garden of her grief?
The vines grow perfect—never choke the gate.
Each thorn arranged, like pain seeks its relief
In blooms too neat to carry real weight.

She sings like sirens housed in mirrored halls,
A practiced ache that never truly breaks.
Each echo wears a mask, each silence stalls—
A thousand deaths, but none that rattle stakes.

Is she the ghost, or just the mourning veil?
A candle lit to cast a gentler shade?
The wax runs clear, the flame too soft to flail—
Like sorrow dressed for show, not meant to fade.

If I loved you anymore,
my heart would swell
and turn into a circle.

And judging by the way
you make me feel,
it's only a matter of time,
and I really don't mind.
Can't take full credit for this one, but I just couldn't resist sharing.
My heart is a circle, because of a special someone.

I yelled in anguish
Dropped to my
Knees as if in pain
What he said to me
Was a nectar  to
My brain.
Forty years of
marriage
Thinking we will
Do the course
Now he’***** me
He wants a
******* divorce.
I did agree
he said now
I am free
Unbeknown to him
Six months earlier
I had won 30 million
On the lottery.

Mrs Timetable
Will my inner child
Catch up to my adult mind
And collab
Or collide?
Childhood problems in my adult brain
