Love

Love can be simple.
It can be the pleasure you get
When you read an all-time favourite book of yours.
It can be the happy reminiscing
While listening to an old song.
It can be the secret smiles you share
With your loved one across a room.

Love can be complicated.
It can be the tears you shed
When you fight with someone dear.
It can be the tug you feel in your chest
When you see an old lover.
It can even be the pain you feel
When your heart has been broken by someone.

But one thing can be said for sure –
Love is universal.
It’s all-consuming.
Omnipresent.
It makes us laugh,
It makes us cry;
But in the end we know
That each one of us has loved,
At least once in our lives.

Once Went Down a Road

I once went down a road

And saw my Sociology teacher;

She came to me and told me

That I couldn’t ever teach her.

I once went down a road

And saw my Economics teacher;

She came to me and told me

That I couldn’t ever be her.

I once went down a road

And saw my Biology teacher;

She came to me and told me

That I had to cut a creature.

I once went down a road

And saw my EVE teacher;

She came to me and told me

That I really should be neater.

I once went down a road

And saw my Psychology teacher;

She came to me and told me

That I couldn’t ever cheat her.

I once went down a road

And saw my English teacher;

She came to me and told me

That I shouldn’t be a writer.
