  • My happy place

    My happy place

    I wished for a place, my happy place
    A place where I’d be myself
    Where I’d be alone, yes all alone
    My mind left to itself

    My dream came true, and one fine day
    I had my wonderful place
    It feels like my cocoon, my bubble
    Yes, my own happy space

    I have a desk, a chair, a lamp
    My books, some paper and a pen
    A cup of coffee, pictures on the wall
    To look at every now and then

    Add to that, my comfy bed
    A place to take my beauty nap
    Where I’d be one with my dreams;
    My fantasies I’d unwrap

    The view outside is breathtaking
    And the clear cool air feels nice
    The peace and quiet make a perfect mix
    Like a mix of sugar and spice

    I love the fact that it has a lot of light
    It keeps me thinking good
    It simply keeps me happy all day
    And brightens up my mood

    And I love to be there all day long
    Not a second left to waste
    I thank my stars for letting me have
    My own happy place

  • Lost in the ashes

    Lost in the ashes

    A horrific blaze
    Engulfed my home
    Reducing my life
    To ashes and dust

    Those ashes were once
    Things that meant the world to me;
    Memories of childhood, now
    Reduced to cinders.

    In the smoky haze
    I search frantically
    But all I can see are embers
    Part of a horrific design;

    Burnt pictures lying everywhere
    Pieces of my childhood lost
    Half burnt faces lie around the floor
    Smiling no more

    The fire lay waste
    To all my belongings
    They were simply objects, insignificant
    Never meant to last –

    Like the pieces of broken glass
    Now crumbling beneath my feet
    They were made to be destroyed
    They were made to be replaced

    But in the blaze that night
    I lost something more
    That I could not find in the ashes;

    It was irreplaceable;
    And more than just my belongings,
    Much more than memories,

    I lost something dearer –
    A part of me.

  • Music to my ears

    Music to my ears

    It feels wonderful
    To be so close to you
    To feel your warmth
    On this cold, winter day.

    Listen closely
    I can hear our hearts beat
    In unison, like they’re one
    And not in two different bodies.

    Your breath is like
    A sweet whisper;
    And the soft quiver
    In your lips
    Feels like an echo
    In my mind.

    Your every nuance
    Your every move
    Is a delight to me
    And music to my ears.
