Love, colouring 
battle-scarred
at rainbow's end
the dream maker

There, seen
gone
unbound
in Harrods and its bins

Given, taken
starving the rich
feeding the poor
flattening this land

Love, near
deaf, dumb
far-flung, yet found
rooted voices without a sound

*

I'm the jailer
your inmate
and I hunt for you through these bars
the harder you tug at my side

Certificate U

Love

Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so. I think Shakespeare? Happiness is so elusive. Not when you have what you want,  but when you want what you have. It is true.

And also, "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be" -Abraham Lincoln

Sometimes one is afraid of success because he is more afraid of failure. Bit of a bastard.
