RANDOM WEDNESDAY

Have you ever been in a meeting or a class and the only thing you can think of is food? You are just sitting there nodding as if you are following what is being said when in reality, you are far away. When the moment of your disgrace comes, your stomach will let out a loud rumble😊 or you will be asked a question that you won't be able to answer for obvious reasons 😊😊😊

WANDERING SPIRIT
O wandering spirit of mine
Come back and be in line;
Let me cease to dwell in between
For I am neither here nor there.
Like an absent presence,
I sit, I smile, I gaze, I speak
Though I am far away…

He speaks; she squeaks
I cannot but see
The happiness that leaks
From all but me…
I can’t help my longing for a repast
As my belly rumbles fast
And my mind wanders still…

O wandering spirit of mine,
Come back and be in line
Let me cease to dwell in between
For I am neither here nor there.

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...
