COS IT'S FRIDAY!

Hmm... I know something important about tomorrow - It's not today! #TGIF #FunAllTheWeekend #Lovers'Post

PROMISE ME TOMORROW

Sierra was her name…

Beauty and Sierra:
One and the same.

“Promise me tomorrow,” she would say
Ever forgetting
That I hold no tomorrow.

Day after day,
She pleaded;
Wanting that which isn’t mine-
Surety for the morrow.


A lying tongue
I would rather not develop
Simply to promise you tomorrow
For my mother always told me
“No one knows tomorrow.”

Whether alive I’d be
To see that day
When all my dreams would come true,
I know not
Yet you say to me
“Promise me tomorrow”

Oh! Sierra,
How I treasure every moment with you!
My heart longs for that day you’d be mine
But you threaten to wreak havoc
At my ingenuous heart
When you say to me
“Promise me tomorrow.”

I know not what tomorrow brings
For I am but human,
I sleep and I wake
Not simply because I will it.
I love you
Ever so dearly
But please understand
When I say I can’t promise you tomorrow.

Someday...

Today's post is a poem written by Yours truly about a week ago. Read and enjoy... Of course, a comment would be appreciated. Thank you. SOMEDAY Someday, all will be history The things we know and even our misery Someday, those who raised us Will wonder if they ever knew us We'll be invincible Strangers to the word "impossible" Then shall our worth be palpable. This is not the end I am only navigating a bend This is not all of me I am more than "we" This is not my best I will be better than the rest Someday we'll sing and dance And leave nothing to chance We'll live out our dream And forget tales so grim; Once again with life brim Someday I say Maybe not today But maybe today We could sow for Someday I shall leap, We shall reap If we plunge in the deep Someday, you and I Shall walk down Fame's aisle Someday... Maybe today! ©Nikosle...

STAY HIGH

Image
    There is a sun in the sky And it’s not gonna die Till I can fly To meet it in the sky. There’s a place I belong: Somewhere I can be wrong And still sing my song Without being treated as dung A black bird once told me “You will never be What you want to be So don’t even bother to see” But I saw… I saw beauty at my core, I saw beyond my every flaw, I saw the world look at me in awe. There’s a place I belong Somewhere I can be wrong And still sing my song Trusting I won’t live in the wrong I’m gonna stay high And I won’t sigh ‘Cause there’s a sun in my sky And it’s not gonna die. ©Nikoslexie 2016

RANDOM WEDNESDAY

It's a dream. No, it can't be true! I am struggling to believe that some moments ago we started Year 2016 and now, we're in the 11th month. Just when the year started to make sense, it wants to run away😢. Let me wish you Happy New Month regardless of how fast the year seems to have run by. I guess I should just accept the reality and make the best of the remaining days... You could join me too😄. Below is a poem that has absolutely NOTHING to do with what's above. That's why it's #RandomWednesday. 😁😁😁 SHADES OF GREY Grey: a blend of black and white Grey: a color filled with shades and grades, It aids my once-true maids In their service to evil Hades. Simply a mark of obscurity Grey would not fade; A sign of wisdom and maturity, For black, the aged would not trade It’s only a mirage; Just a creation of an illusionist’s mind For how shall one rest in the valley of indecision? To be white, he chooses not And to be black, he welcomes not Ove...
