HORROR MOVIE


HORROR MOVIE

Oh what
A face.
Early in 
The morning 
And I feel
Sunshine
Has forgotten
To
Awake.

Sigh...
I had dreams
I'd felt 
So high!

I fear
That face
Not with
Dread
But with
The possibility 
I might
Puke
All over 
The bed!

It is 
Such a 
Killjoy.
The expression
Dark and
Frowny
A face
From a
Yet to be
Made
Horror
Movie.

I shall not
Watch
It for
Sure
As I already
Have seen
The trailer...

Hands down
It's an
Award winner
For the
Worst
Best film
Ever!

MY FRIENDS



MY FRIENDS


I sat 
With my
Friends
On a 
Rainy eve...

It was
Blowing hard
And the raindops
Danced
To the 
Wind.

We watched
As we 
Commented
On it 
All!

My friends
Loved it.
Of course
They did
And why
Wouldn't they?

It was
Their first
Rain storm 

Here, I should
Explain 
My friends
Are 
True game!

They can
Make
A boring
Thing
Feel interesting 
In a grand 
Way.

Indeed
My friends 
Make
Great company
To have
Around
Whether its
Sun or
Rain!

LET THEM PLAY



LET THEM PLAY

Toys, everywhere
Toys.
A child-s 
Dream come
True.
It is the
Identity 
Of their youth.

Not all
Can have
Play things
In today's 
World...

The voice
Of laughter 
Has been
Stolen
By war...

Leaders play,
Like
Children 
With
Innocent
Lives.
Their games
Are teating
Lives apart.

Laughs 
Are cries
Of innocence
Lost...

Nowhere 
Are there
Toys.

It's so
Heart-wrenching
To see, 
Read and 
Hear.

The sirens
Of war
Drown the 
Sound Of
Children 
Playing
With toys.

Get a
Grip
Turn it all
Around.
Let toys be
Everywhere,
Let innocence
Abound.

Let peace
Reign
And war 
End.

Let toys
Be played 
With
By every
Child
In every
Land!

BEHIND SLEEPY EYES


BEHIND SLEEPY EYES

When my
Eyes
Are laden
With sleep,
It is you
I see.

Such a 
Welcoming site, 
I want
To
Embrace
You
To me...

Okay, you say
With your
Warm smile 
And in
Your arms
I cuddle
Falling asleep
Instantly!

We have
Adventures
Together,
We are home...

We laugh
And are
Happy
I want
Nothing 
More...

In your
Presence
I am
Whole!

When it
Is time
To awaken,
I am very
Reluctant...

I don't want
To lose
Sight
Of you...

You are
Never far
You tell
Me
You are
Always
In my
Heart, 
Behind sleepy
Eyes
Within
Reach.

I know it's
True,
I agree...

You are
My reason
For waking up
And wanting 
To sleep.

You are
Now
My
Beautiful dream
I long to
See!

PRAISE OUR PAST



PRAISE OUR PAST

Oh let us
Speak
And act
Our part
From 
The heart.

Let us
Tell tales
True
About our
Land
Me
And you.

With pride
Let us
Sing
Of who
We are.. 
Of out
Glorious
Past!

It has
Made us
The folk
That are
Loved
Around the
World.

Indeed
Without the
Past
Today wouldn't be
Ours
To behold.

Thanks to
It,
We are
The smartest,
Kindest,
Most friendly
Of the whole.

Praises, praises
Galore!

Truly
Let us
Shun not
Our history
For without
It
Here, we
Wouldn't be!

THE KEY



THE KEY

A tinkle
Of a
Laugh
And I am
Head over
Heels
Charmed.

I find 
Myself
Smiling!

I could
Dance
And
Prance
Just to the
Sound
Of 
That
Laugh. 

It's music
That's 
Magic
Which
Is
Lacking
In this
World!

I have 
It
Here
With me
The key
To the
World's
Anri-misery.

A tinkling
Laugh
Is what 
It is!

WITHIN EMBRACE



WITHIN EMBRACE

Oh gently
Hold me.
In your 
Embrace
Let me
Be.

Smile and
Sing
The reflection
Of
Your soul.
That I
May
Feel wrapped
In you
Whole!

I will
Slip
My arms
Around
You
The better
To not
Fall free...

Without
This embrace
I dare not
Live.

Oh hold
Me close
Tenderly...
Within your
Embrace
I will 
Breathe...

The joy
Of just
Being.
Me!
