on love and reciprocity

the person who truly loves
seeks not to be loved in return,
for true love is not founded on
the grounds of reciprocity.

happiness is a choice

the perfect day is in your thoughts
think happy and you will be
happiness does not end
with gloomy days and overcast skies

everyday is an opportunity
to feel really nice
you may feel blue, or feel so sad
nothing can stop you from feeling bad

but remember you have the choice
and you may choose to be happy
then you will see the sweetest smile
there in the mirror, look and see!

Saturday Afternoon

Nothing is lovelier
Than seeing hues of orange and red
Amidst the pale blue sky;
But nothing is more romantic
Than watching this magic unfold
With you by my side.

looking for thy self?

the self
can never go missing
nor unled
it does not need
a path to tread
it need not
be found
as it never leaves
because
the self
is not something
that one seeks
the self
is something
that one creates
