a selfish act

when it breakes,darkness fright

your eyes are awoken,though

not your might

and if you see another

with fate as yours

and the emotion

knocks at stiff doors

rocky to a long face

or what ever any case

it should be known

that you're a selfish actor

forgetting the breath giver

is never selfish

 

when smiles,or secret winks

have fallen on deaf glances

but a whinning tongue

grumbling mostly about nothing

frowning

and making stiff

than easing free

is all but folly

to the roundest face

who smiles sunshine

daily

and blossoms

spring

in the warmest chuckle
