Today is Coach Amir's birthday, and he told me to write him a story 😂 I couldn't think of a story so I tried to write a poem... Happy Birthday Coach! Long may you have the strength for the wonderful work that you do. On February 15th, during midday at work,Through the chaos in office …

W is for Weary with toil…
My favourite poem is a sonnet written by William Shakespeare. For those who may not know, a sonnet is a fourteen line poem, and few years ago, I needed to write one on the fourteenth day of a thirty day writing challenge I took on. At the time I had no faith in my ability …

Early in the morning,at the breaking of first light,Whether rested or run-down,Chess rouses me from night. When work stresses me out,and colleagues don't give me space,The Microwave bell never fails,to put a smile on my face. When the demons in my headrun rampant just for sport,These sounds say that for Someone,I'm more than a passing …
Disarmed
Throughout my life I've come to find,That love and romance aren't always kind,For me there rarely was a happy end,Most preferring me as only a friend. As the years rolled by I started to secure,The atria where my deepest are stored,I erected a wall and fortified my defense,Locked and alarmed against every pretence. The smoothest …
War zone
This body is a battlefield, A heart at war with a head, A head that knows certain things cannot be, A heart that longs for them silently... Regardless of the victor, A cost there definitely will be, There won't be any spoils of war,Just carnage you cannot see. Neither side has an advantage, No allies …
A Touch to remember
Sitting on my office chair,scrolling through desktop folders,A pair of hands come from behind,to rest upon my shoulders… The stroke and squeeze that followEvoke memories that make my heart soar,But reality brings it right back down,'Cause the hands on me aren't yours… There's witchcraft in your lips,and magic in your skin,With every kiss and touch,you …
Dear Person
Dear Person, if only you knew,The secrets hidden in the words I spew,The truth hidden in the things I say,in the things I do for you on any day. Dear Person, when needed, I'll be your reality check,Your jaws of life in any wreck,A vault for things you want to safeguard,A support for all the …
Unarmed
As a child I lived in a world of dreams, The fabric of my life woven with unusual seams, It never occurred that my life could be other, A father, twelve children, and not one but two mothers. Behind every dream though, lurks a reality, One I was shielded from constantly, But one day the …
You made me love you
It wasn't the plan, the boundaries I knew, I was never supposed to fall for you. But with the passing of time, in a way I never expected to, You stole into my heart and made me love you. You snuck in through a window I didn't know I'd left open, and set traps I …
The best place
Cradled in your arms, Tightly gripped between your hands, Cocooned in your smell.
