Slow Dance

This fast pace feels like a craze,

Trapped and lost in an endless maze.

The world spins on, a cruel chase,

Erase my worries, leave no trace.

All day, I yearn for your serene face.

You catch my gaze; my heart starts to race,

Your heart sets mine ablaze.

I freeze there, unable to faze,

As my eyes turn blurred, caught in a haze.

With every step, I long to embrace,

To fall apart, to melt in your grace.

Yet here I stand, frozen in place,

As the silence grows, my soul in a daze,

Unable to put it in phrase,

But I know this ain’t just a phase—

Are you feeling the same, in case?

You are my warm sunrays on my bluest days,

Will you stay even if life shows all shades of grays?

Through every storm, you’ll be my light that stays,

You make me happy with your nonchalant ways.

We vibe and dance, like carefree strays,

I still remember those unforgettable days,

A memory that forever stays.

In the dark, our hands locked, and the music plays,

As we move together, the rhythm softly sways.

Your voice, a soft whisper where time always delays,

Where you are, my whole world lays.

I met you in France, caught in a dreamy trance,

Fell in love at first glance, my heart began to prance.

Through life's trials, our love will enhance,

Forever in your love, I’ll take a stance.

It felt like fate's sweet chance,

A spark ignited, a sweet romance.

It's part of God’s intricate plans,

To hold your heart in my trembling hands.

Babe, let go of all the sadness,

And join me in a slow dance.

Pay Day.

You offer me a salary,

But it’s nothing but slavery,

A leash disguised as charity,

Playing us as pieces in your gallery.

Long hours of work, no sign of bravery,

In your cavalry, no signs of rivalry.

It’s just Calvary, no signs of generosity.

Your rules are arbitrary,

Your power temporary.

Your gaze, predatory,

Your grip on us tight, almost military.

Dreams fade away; our plight is customary,

In this grind, hope feels secondary.

Yet the fire in our souls burns incendiary.

Yeah, it's payday—

Another goddamn reminder of this cage I stay,

Trapped in every single day, can't break away.

Endless toil with no delay;

Where’s the time for me to stray?

Chasing goals that fade and fray,

While life outside gets swept away.

We’re giving more than we can weigh,

But what’s the cost at the end of the day?

You offer me incentives,

Yet they feel vindictive, often deceptive—

Not impressive or seductive,

Just draining and restrictive.

Is this the price of being productive?

A life where balance seems ineffective?

You ask for perspective?

Here’s the narrative:

Everything’s exclusive and expensive,

Yet time for ourselves seems excessive.

Living like we’re primitive,

Chained to endless objectives.

You want us collective,

But forget we’re reflective—

Burning inside, raging explosive.

Burnout feels destructive;

This cycle is corrosive.

Let’s make it inventive,

Be introspective and innovative.

Seek solutions that are creative,

Not just focused on what's abrasive.

In a world so reactive,

We must be smart and proactive—

Detect what’s broken and defective,

Not just productive, but perceptive,

And truly transformative.

It’s the rhythm where we finally agree—

It’s the foundation for us to be free.

Work-life balance isn’t a plea,

So let’s shift from slavery to sanity,

A workplace built on humanity.

Health and happiness should be our creed.

This is what we truly need.

Let peace and harmony take the lead,

Where strength and justice boldly breed,

And starve the roots of fear and greed.

Let humanity sow the seed

Of acts of kindness—that's the only deed.

With hope as a guide and dreams to feed,

Together, we can all succeed.

Through It All: A Promise.

I thought I would catch and release,

For the sake of my own peace,

All the things I want to seize.

Living in my head as if they’ve paid an endless lease.

I wish I could make them cease,

Just to find a moment of ease,

Amidst the trees and gushing streams.

Pessimistic thoughts pile up and tease,

Pulling me down like a relentless squeeze.

What are Your plans, God? Lead me the right way, please,

As the days continue to freeze.

Everything falls into place,

Though I feel like a shattered, missing puzzle piece.

So, let’s make a promise, even if it seems foolish,

To love ourselves in times both cruel and devilish.

To protect ourselves, no matter if we flourish or perish,

We are born pure and good—let’s believe and cherish.

And never let our dreams or hearts feel selfish.

Nothing will define us—not even a blemish.

The thoughts that tarnish,

The ones we wish to abolish,

Let’s cast them into shadows and watch them diminish,

As our spirits rise anew and replenish.

We will extinguish the anguish,

As our fears and doubts slowly vanish.

We will still listen to our voice, even if it sounds childish.

Through trials and errors, we will learn to distinguish.

No matter what, we will be classic and stylish,

With confidence, we’ll embellish and swish.

And through it all, let our inner child relish,

As we continue forward, we will accomplish,

An unbroken promise to grow and nourish.

Again & Again

I met you online,
That's when my heart inclined.
I always whine,
To you, not being mine—
You became my dopamine.
In your love, I find my lifeline.

I met you in a grocery line,
I guess we are destined.
Fate did align,
My thoughts, like a train.
In your love, my purpose I find.

Our souls drenched in rain,
Forever memories I retain.
I cherish your clothes with wine's stain.

I want to ease your mind,
I want to call you mine.
If all the stars align,
I know that it is a sign.

Our love will shine,
With you, my hands intertwine.
All troubles will refrain—
I assure you, we will be fine.

My angel, you are divine.
With glasses of wine,
In the woods of pine,
We will dance and dine.

In every whispered line,
Our hearts combine.
Through every life's design,
Together we remain.

We'll conquer every pain,
In joy and in strain.
Our love will always shine.

Your features, feline—
Graceful and refined.
Your persona, like sunshine—
Radiant, warm, and kind.

I fall for you again
And again.

Hustle Culture

This hustle culture feels so toxic,

Can’t stay all stoic; it’s too chaotic.

I miss the days I was carefree, so frolic,

Now it’s all about speed—turning sonic.

I can’t voice my pain; it’s not phonic,

Dreams dissolve in a grind so chronic.

I miss the days when life was symphonic.

Chasing goals, but the joy feels hypnotic,

Every moment blurs, turning robotic.

I scream inside, yet the silence is ironic,

Is this the price we pay to be iconic?

When did emotions grow so platonic?

As the clock goes tik tik tik,

I feel the weight, but I won’t get sick.

Trying hard, refusing to quit,

Weariness and fatigue might prick,

But my hard work is no mere skit.

This isn’t idiotic or just a trick;

Results don’t come with a single click

Or a finger flick—this isn’t magic.

No need to feel pathetic or panic,

Even when life feels this hectic.

I dream of a future so exotic,

So I’ll push forward, starting from the basics.

With every step, I’ll come back classic—

This energy is electric, and it’s epic.

I’ll find joy in the process, not just the result,

Challenging each day as a young adult.

Thriving in the hustle cult,

Learning to rise above every insult.

Sometimes, I just need to step back and reset,

Take a breath, let the world forget.

Sometimes, I just need to touch some grass, I guess,

Clear my mind, let stress pass and regress.

Disconnect to reconnect, find my peace,

Let the world slow down and let my mind release.

All In, All Yours

Just tell me, babe, don’t be shy.
I see the truth behind your eyes.
Say you’ll love me, love me ‘til the day you die.

This love we’ve built won’t fade or dry.
I’m all in, and I won’t deny.
I’ll give my all; I’m willing to try.
With you, my world feels justified.
I know it’s worth the fight.

No secrets to hide, no alibi.
No lie, no sigh—just you and I.
No red flags, no tears to cry.
Your heart’s the one thing money won’t buy.

We’re meant to be, no need to ask why.
Don’t let this love burn out and fry.
Let’s get drunk in love and feel so high.
Destiny pulled us together, and our hearts tie.
Our love, written in the constellations, forever in the sky.

I Bet You Felt Loved

I bet you felt loved,
I thought you'd claim me, brave and bold.
We'd share our dreams, together grow old.
But no one sees when love turns cold,
Until the ego rises, and truth unfolds.

I held on to forever, but forever was sold,
Now we're left with stories untold.
I clung to sacred love, my soul consoled,
But you let it go, with nothing to hold.
You walked away, left love uncontrolled,
Time wore us down like stones that rolled,
Pulled apart by invisible strings of gold.

When I questioned, you turned to scold.
Fast and sharp, you struck your bolt.
It hit like lightning, a piercing volt,
Left me shattered, feeling the jolt.
You gave me enough—enough to fold.
No thoughts of mending, no, I won’t.
I’m done pretending—now I revolt.
