DAY 23

A great poet was born 

and he died today. 

Within 52 years,

he had compared many a fair lady

to some summer's day. 

He had said what was to be 

and what was not to be 

But let us not celebrate

a man who may have died 52

but shall live for thousands of years 

through the words he so carefully strung

and touched the souls of millions

and inspired us to begin our song 

and feat on the food of love. 

Happy Birthday and deathday

o mighty giant. 

April the 22nd

DAY 22

Deep within my soul 

is the man that wishes to save

the world of his friends and those he loves,

and those who he has long since left. 

I do not know how to stop him. 

Wherever I tread and see sorrow

the instinct deep within 

is to arm myself with strength, 

for myself and for a friend. 

I will try to bargain with heartache 

or hunt away anxiety 

and then smite the might innards of depression 

that someone I maybe carrying. 

But there's more to be a hero then thought.

Our fables and ballads lie to us: 

a hero cannot always win

for in our lives, 

the innocent must decide

if they truly want to be saved. 

And am I truly this hero?

Some sort of cape and tights wonder?

Isn't all within a soul that yearns

for love and for approval

that will never be answered. 

I wish to save those who cannot be

and maybe answer a need to feel good, 

but I should perhaps remember

to save myself before attempting

to help anyone else. 

But I hope that some days,

my answering to a call

shall just put a smile on a face 

or make a dark day seem brighter

like so many heroes have done for me 

then the man deep within my soul

will perhaps rest for some good time.

(On time, hurrah!)

DAY 21

Fret not over your body's height

it means nothing to a wider world

where all walks of life roam wander. 

As you join them - you shall stand tall

no one ever need ask what height you are 

when you stand so tall in halls of law, 

where you shall be seen as a giant

as knowledge flows so naturally from you. 

For you are tall amongst those men, 

this body only shows a 'small' part of that.

For Daf.

Also made my notepad before making it online.

DAY 20

The day has come

where the green smoke rises

in an attempt for justice. 

Damage may come, 

but a choice should be made

by the inhaler 

not by the law. 

Drinking gives excuse 

for girls to let dresses hang down

and boys to be primal

and ol' bacco gives companies

a choice of candidate 

in elections and chemicals in your lungs. 

All the green smokes 

says

is to be tested before its intake

and then to simply relax

in fields and forest. 

Happy 4/20.

April the 19th

(This was done yesterday, I somehow forgot to post it even though I did it quite early for me but nonetheless, here it is!):

DAY 19

A navy sky at night

can match up to a sky full of stars.

It's simply tainted colour of the day

makes a feel of spring in the air. 

Shades stretch along the sky, 

man-made lights making lighter parts

It shows as rather remarkable

and as if daylight never really left you.

DAY 18

Patience is the practise

of a writer with an idea.

He needs music, 

using a beat to write along to

He needs time, 

which is always lacking 

and he needs caffeine 

so when the real writing starts

he's awake. 

Then he needs a critic

who hates every word

and a friend who loves everything

he will ever put his creative fingers on

and then some patience

to finish, redraft and do more. 

That's the practise. 

April the 17th.

DAY 17

We choose to celebrate your birth,

on this day where you body arrived.

But I question is this was when you were born.

The time I refer to cannot be pinpointed

it happened over decades as you became

the great hero I know you as today.

The wisdom and strength, the bravery,

when they were “born” within you,

THAT was the day you were born.

It can't be tied to any document,

I think the only thing to be said

is that day when you knew

that Ania rose from a slumber

like sleeping beauty awaiting the call

from the person you had already become.

Maybe you are not complete yet,

maybe we are still waiting for that soul

to truly be born.

But from what can be seen

is a strong and wise person

who loves and who's iron willed

and if you are not truly born yet,

then only the best is to come. 

Happy Birthday Dad, with love.
