Music Saves Me

The notes I play

Say what I say

Every day

Music in songs.

The tunes I hear

Dispel my fears

Erase my tears

Where I belong.

Love many styles

Music for miles

Or in store aisles

Songs, short or long.

Reduce my stress

When life’s a mess

Music’s the best

Keeping me strong.

Lyrics that touch

Gives me a crutch

When hurts too much

It’s never wrong.

Many playlists

Very long lists

And songs with twists

I never yawn.

Since, in the end

Music, my friend

A gift that mends

Before we’re gone…

In Good Company

Everyone of us is special

So much so, it makes me tremble

We all have a big gift

Putting many words together

Intricate birds of a feather

Which gives our world a lift.

Our talents span many a form

Creativity is our norm

Writing, our ‘artist type’

Most with much of our craft to do

Poems, stories, and essays too

Sharing these is our hype.

Our various books will come out

Myriad contents they’re about

Entertaining masses

Amazon and other book stores

As our readers want more and more

Providing them passes…

Free As Can Be

Now you’re not here

I won’t shed tears

I have no fears

You can’t hurt me.

I was a fool

And just a tool

Under your rule

I’m just a wee.

Lies and deceit

Bread and no meat

Endless conceit

Just didn’t see.

Gaslit to death

To my last breath

Toxic breadth

Bad place to be.

Like a flat tire

Or a wild fire

A fear inspires

I was your flea.

Then I got smart

Looked in my heart

Saw from the start

On bended knee.

I was your joke

Each word you spoke

To harm and poke

An endless spree.

Then, had my say

I went away

One winter day

I had to flee.

Now, a new life

You’re not my wife

Clear of the strife

Truly, I’m free.

Each day and night

Inspired, I write

My former flight

As my decree.

No more I’ll take

Someone who’s fake

Or major flake

That is the key.

A while myself

Not on a shelf

Or used up elf

Finally me…
