Life in short words - poetry book

Wherever you go, there is High society, low society Right or wrong; both have rules, matey! I knew we dress-up to fit in But was amused to find that we dress down to fit in too Being intelligent is a curse in a school, So some dumb down to be liked; quite a few Who writes the rules Who cooks up the standards, you muppet Who’s taking care of the planet when education is an industry for profit Wasted a precious life on trying to be the middle class That degree, that job, a marriage and a few kids We were told that is life So we made the bids And we believe that we lived I look forward to a new society, where my personal robot will take care of the mundane societal tasks While I will have time to smell the roses 🌹 and in sunshine, I will bask

Love The scent of roses 🌹 is love Wide smile, calm forehead, A deep breath is love Holding hands in silence is love Thinking of nobody else in that moment is love A feeling of music in the air is love A soft pink rose is gentle love A hot pink is excitement in love A dark red rose is lusty love There are so many ways to love You love but are you in love? How many days of love? Love bombing love or old wine love? Show your pretty side love or spill your guts love? Do you love or are you in love? Overthinking already! Stop! Lose your mind and just love 💕 Too much logic, is the enemy of love Become blind to the faults and just love! There is no life when you forsake love So just feel the breeze gently touch you Let the warmth of sun engulf you Fly off with clouds and just love ❤️ Do you love!?! Do you? Do you? Do you?

Love is a sweet illusion Your imagination of perfection A heart makes a decision Long before other person’s permission Like someone sprinkled fairy dust And your brain got rust All you are left with is a thirst For this one person But there is something to understand, and you must That love is a stage of life It’s not everlasting That it will fade Like the rainbow in the sky You must keep having fun Until the inner commitment comes That may last longer And help the bond become stronger But if one of these days He says it’s gone away You will be broken and shaken You feel forsaken That will be the time to love yourself And find the true love inside The stable feeling that doesn’t fade away I hope you find that sunray, within

SELF MOTIVATION Bent knees, tucked tummy, hands together, jaws tight Baby sleeping posture, and no dreams at night Is it stress? Is it fighting an inside fight? I thought I was happy? What’s up body? Why are you bothered? Lying in bed for hours Looking at funny reels So you can’t tell how it feels? Trying to lose yourself? Seven billion people on this planet Ain’t that enough real friends for you? Come on let’s jog, swim and run Enough rest, let’s have some fun Not amused by this thought? You know what! You’re right It’s painless and comfy Let’s sleep tight

Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s love, hey, hey! Looking for meaning of life Sometimes one loses the meaning altogether Knowledge is great but intuitive knowing is better Wealth is great but health is greater Parties are great but one true friend is better Judging others or comparing for self- improvement, I rather do the latter City traffic is killing and country living is better Yet active life is thrilling than hundreds of acres and nobody to chatter Sitting in silence for sanity but too much silence can make you madder What to do, who to support, where to live or just retire Decisions, decisions, they make me so tired From plastics to people, there is so much fake Just love the nature for sanity’s sake There is no God, there is no plan It’s all just random, love this or that! Eat fruit with ice-cream, so you don’t get too fat! Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s love, hey, hey!

There is a spider 🕷️ on my wall Welcome to Australia, baby doll Be glad it’s not a red-back in your shoe 👠 Or your shoe on a red-belly black snake 🐍 hu hu For me a magpie swoooing down to attack the head is enough Yet, I had to see a croc 🐊 to make me puff I haven’t met a shark while swimming Or been bitten by bluebottles burning O, there is so much spark and joy On big Aussie island, oy oy!

Head in dreams, yet stuff in rows here Every item on my shelf is a free flight to somewhere People of every age, every genre come here Some sit, some pick, some read, some play Work feels like socialising all day That’s the customer’s impression of this profession, along with reading glasses and old age People of my type are obsessed with fresh smell of books Whether it’s about horses or chooks Nowadays I have a little more serious face As I work with academics and get the referencing straight

Valentine, this love is clandestine Tell the world you are mine Dreams, flowers, smell of roses Bring out the camera let’s make some poses I love you , you love me I can’t see the world You are beautiful, you are my bird Rush of feelings, and smiles so wide Touch me, kiss me, be my bride With you near me, my world is so cool 😎 Music in the air, dancing two fools!

Disobedient, disregarding the authority ? Have you never seen the iron fist of authority You may want all goodness and just Access for all, quick action and do what you must But have you got the approval of the authority first? You silly pooch, you should protect your own interests first How can I help is not their attitude Wait for as long as you need to is the route Fast and furious is not everybody’s mantra Sometimes you need to understand the slow tantra What you call over- reaction is their way of perfection They’re right, you estimated them wrong No matter how loud you sing your self righteous song They’re now going to make an example of it all

All I want is to know The nature of things and beings So I can predict the future The future that does come Slowly, surely, sneakily Did you notice? The flower that bloomed today Was a bud yesterday You know tomorrow the petals will Scatter on the ground, for sure It’s the cycle of things, I note I know these things, I understand But what to do with human mind That doesn’t decide Once decided, doesn’t stick to the decision? Why ii gluttons itself for punishment Punishment of uncertainty and unclarity What will be tomorrow Where will I live and make a safe world. Why warlike situation in peace? Changing home, not knowing where to plant my garden Enough uncertainty to kill me For I have already died enough times Stop the uncertainty For which cause I studied, got a job For which cause I married And gave birth to a lot For I wanted familiar and certain love Lots of it, forever! Alas! Uncertainty never left my side Invisible enemy, one of a kind Only because I want no change In s...

It bothers me All that I am not The perfection I seek in myself That I have not The stories told so elaborately by some The way I can’t The poems written so perfectly by others The way I can’t The songs sung so beautifully by the gifted ones The way I can’t If we are all connected For God is one Then I call upon those who have the talent and the skills perfected To guide me, help me hone my skills I seek perfection in all I do In all I am and all I can be Hear my prayer, oneness of this universe! Make me perfect in all things I do It’s the calling of my free will I seek not money, glory or power All I seek is perfection in all that I love!

We got tired, love expired Words exchanged and we got fired That’s not love, that you required True love looks like patience and compassion It waits for personal growth and returned attraction True love is delusional, it doesn’t take no for an answer It dies waiting for someone’s return It wastes a lifetime in fantasy It cries when reality burns 🥵

Inside the bubble, life is like a cuddle The bubble is protection, in it is no trouble Let the bubble stay for as long as possible When the bubble bursts, it hurts They will stumble Like waking up from a dream Of Princess in a pretty castle The real life is much harsher Those skyscrapers that looked like fairytale landscape Are shouting out the true stories of disparity and money chase I never heard before the noises of window opening next door The noise of shower everyday at 4 Before that was the ambulance and the plane going offshore Yes, the city has lots of eateries and parks Nice beaches and sandstone rocks But I have seen those and now what Do I want to stay a pawn or a mint cog What will I think about this decision At my deathbed, when it lifts all fog? Will I long for acres of land with own forest and water Would I wish I had travelled the world And not lived in a quarter? Why do I analyse life so closely And make my life harder?

Celebration days! Like holidays! Persevered to perfect to earn my own respect Then sat down like I had enough Finally won what made me puff Is it a win? Or a smack on the chin? Prices so high, I can’t afford, I will die! Is this win providing all the answers Is it music for the soul or lancers? Should I take it or leave Would I smile or would I grieve? Decisions of life like cutting own skin with a sharp knife! Cut so deep Would I ever heal? Every win has a price It’s a roll of the dice!

O shooting star, I wish that this peaceful night may last forever!  That I keep gazing upon the twinkling stars and walking under the beautiful sky!  Thank you to all my close friends and to worries, I say goodbye!  It’s the best time for true reflection  The satisfaction of existence so serene, where no work pressures apply  Dear beautiful stars, I just want to say hi 👋 Never mind the humans,  They have the habit of squeezing blood even from the dying  Hence, they want to wish upon you and overlook the fact that you have just died!  O shooting star, I felt your stardust on my face  And my soul felt light

Sore Not so sure Was it fun Or was it a chore? Life! changing country New culture, new beliefs different values, different skills Lots of dollars and double the bills Was I comfy ? Did the inflation give me chills? Working, working to get ahead somewhere Never enough time to sit on a chair Turn my head to the sky and just stare Those fluffy clouds and those twinkling stars Don’t they pass by my sky? Or do I not have the time to lie? Freedom from money, almost impossible task Death is approaching and life is going fast

Love, kindness, joy, peace Hard to achieve even without fees Guided meditation on YouTube says hi You think mind chatter will say goodbye? Sitting in a room counting breaths and noticing skin brushing with breeze Facing self is tough, but why? Sitting still is a task, don’t lie Harder than working hard all day Counting money and checking your pay Balancing career focus and spiritual success Add some healthy eating and exercise without fuss Then achieving adventure goals in my head And keeping family and friends content That’s a lot of asking from any dumbhead It’s 3am and I can’t go to bed!

Dreams of a virgin Buying plot on a white cloud Pretty she is and of her youth she’s proud She chatters and laughs real loud Life is going to be lavish She has no doubt Expensive embroidered dresses and jewellery of all sorts People all around will obey her orders like princesses personal robots Yes, dreams are fun, dreams are tall No, they don’t all come true And the castle falls Hush, don’t say a gloomy word to the bride Little girl inside her will get scared And under the bed she will hide Let the young lass dream away Let the fairies and wizards brighten her day
