Oh World so beautiful,

I can't see you,

But don't think you can fool me,

I can always feel you.

The injustice,

The discrimination,

The pain,

The sadness,

My soul sees everything,

And it burns with madness,

But there are sprinklings of joy,

Now and then,

People who you find,

To be real gems.

Passing their good cheer,

And sailing along,

Making us smile,

Giving us a song.

In times of silence,

I often wonder,

Why these wars,

Why this plunder,

Let's surrender to the good,

Shape the world in the way it should,

Let's exist in harmony I say,

Never give in to cynicism or dismay.

Hope lives on,

Gives us life,

I Believe in Humanity,

Let's make this right.!

My eyes are red from crying,

My heart is slowly dying,

Seeing you gently lay on the hospital bed,

Remembering all the things you had said,

You still have a smile on your your face,

Preparing to leave us for a better place.

I know you were lying,

'Everything will be alright',

You told me so convincingly,

You never wanted to leave our side,

But in this moment of truth,

You were brave as a warrior going to battle,

Telling us not to be weak and distraught.

There is not a day anymore,

That I forget to curse,

The evil monster called Blood Cancer,

That possessed you completely,

Now, you have a few hours left,

In this beautiful journey called life,

Wish I could join you,

Travel to the next chapter,

For a possible existence together.

We lived our whole life here on Earth,

Together, side by side,

Now you are leaving me alone,

And I can't bear you gone,

Our room will be empty,

Of the joyful cheer and cries,

No more broken toys,

No more silly fights,

And sharing snacks at night.

This is the saddest day of my life,

But your ever present angelic smile,

Is hurting me more than ever,

You are leaving us too early.......

Promise to stay by my side always,

I will never forget you Malcolm!

-Your twin brother, Robin

I sit down to write,

on a blank sheet so white,

My mind is about to explode,

Words are about to flow,

But I hear a familiar sound,

It's the notification on my phone,

My bubble of thought is broken,

The magical world I created is crumbling,

I have to make a quick decision,

I take a look at another stupid offer,

No, it was not a message from my lover, 

I come back to my blank page,

But my mind has become sore,

It doesn't cooperate anymore.

My lover has taken over my mind,

The blank white sheet stares sadly at me,

I sit there staring back helplessly,

Who can save me from this dilemma,

To let go and forgive my lover, 

Or go back to create magic on paper.
