Tino's Flowery Thoughts

They whisper shoulds, a chorus in my head, A box of rules where dreams lie choked and dead. The world's a mess, some truths I can't deny, But why conform? It's time for me to fly. Forget the lines, the double standards stark, Where men are free while women leave their mark With scarlet letters on a heart unseen. I'll write my own, a story evergreen. They brand me selfish, stubborn, childish too, But freedom's song beats loud, a vibrant hue. Let them judge, their words can't dim my light, I choose myself, and claim my future bright. This world may bend, with burdens on its back, But I won't break, I'll forge my own new track. No more the script, the roles I didn't choose, I'll paint my world, bathed in vibrant hues. Just human, strong, with a yearning to explore, No damsel, not a trophy to adore. I'll chase my dreams, unafraid to fall, This woman's heart will conquer, stand up tall.

They say love's a breeze, a gentle sigh, But whispers warned, a spark can set you on fire. I didn't know, until your eyes met mine, A blaze ignited, a burning desire. Love, they said, is warm, a steady flame, But the spark, it crackles, wild and untamed. My heart, it stumbles, a frantic drum, Lost in your presence, the world becomes numb. Is the spark love's kin, or a fleeting delight? So sweet, it steals my breath, takes flight. A dangerous dance, a thrilling foray, But wanting both feels selfish, a heart gone astray. One fills the soul, a love deep and true, The other ignites, a vibrant hue. They sing of finding both, a perfect blend, But what if they're scattered, a love to transcend? Love whispers forever, a constant embrace, The spark, a whirlwind, a fleeting chase. My head spins with questions, a tangled mess, Torn in two, a love I can't confess. Heart cries for solace, a steady hand, The spark, a wild dream, a foreign land. Can reason tame this fire's del...

With blessings abound, a heart filled with doubt, She craves for the more, a world to route out. A whisper within, "I deserve what's unseen," But grasping at shadows, what might have been? The world a bouquet, vibrant and bright, Each bloom a desire, a tempting light. But hands can't embrace every fragrant delight, For true satisfaction lies in holding one tight. New wonders will beckon, a constant refrain, A thirst for the novel, a hunger for gain. But chasing the fleeting brings only more pain, Like chasing a high, then facing the rain. The comfort you hold, a warmth seldom known, May lose its appeal when a new seed is sown. But fleeting pleasures leave you all alone, A cycle repeated, on an empty throne. So choose with your heart, not a yearning so blind, The poison of wanting leaves nothing behind. Embrace what you have, let contentment unwind, For true happiness lies in a grateful mind.

Forbidden fruit, a tempting, wicked bite, Now fills my soul with a forbidden light. I craved, I took, a hunger deep inside, No reason strong enough to turn aside. The taste, oh sweet, a reason it was banned, A pleasure endless, grasped within my hand. Like endless food, a hunger unconfined, The more I take, the more my cravings bind. A single bite, a curse they used to say, But on this tree, I've feasted all the way. No curse descends, but pleasure takes its hold, A vibrant life, a story yet untold. They called it poison, meant for one to fear, But what's one man's curse, another holds so dear. Regret now whispers, of chances missed before, A life less sweet, a joy I should've explored. The courage found in darkest desires' flame, Ignites a fire, whispers my own name. This forbidden fruit, my newfound delight, May hold the future, burning ever bright.

"Brother," they say, a label neat and clear, But oh, this brother sets my heart afire, my dear. A friend's dear kin, off-limits by decree, Yet in my mind, a tempting fantasy. "Brother," I sigh, a word that shouldn't thrill, But oh, your smile, a forbidden kind of kill. A perfect face, a dangerous kind of charm, A whispered secret, setting off the alarm. "Brother," I think, with a fluttering beat, Gasoline near a flame, a risky feat. Your eyes hold depths I shouldn't long to see, For there, a blaze could erupt wildly, for thee and for me. A stolen glance, a brush of hands, a spark, Fireworks imagined, leaving their mark. A stolen kiss, a fleeting, sweet embrace, A moment's pleasure, a dangerous space. Goodbyes linger, a hidden, yearning ache, My traitorous heart, a secret it won't break. "Brother," I whisper, a bittersweet refrain, A fire I hold, a love that can't explain. 

Does forever truly bind, a love that won't unwind? Two souls entwined, a constant, loyal mind? But whispers fill the air, of vows and hearts astray, Happy couples falter, where's the happily ever after, they say? Unhappy hearts, with loyalty's heavy chain, A loveless dance, a life lived in vain. Vows like empty vowels, a promise on the breeze, Shattered by temptations, carried on the seas. Imperfection's truth, a flaw in human form, Why pledge forever, amidst life's coming storm? Marriage, a choice, not just a blissful dream, To weather hardship, a committed team. Money, time, and distance, mere excuses in disguise, "Something different" a yearning in our eyes. Miscommunication's thorns, a garden overgrown, Love untended, a promise overthrown. But hold, dear heart, is love truly confined? Can forever exist, in a single, searching mind? Perhaps love's a journey, with many ports to call, Intense connections, that rise and sometimes fall. Is love a si...

Not heartless, but caught in a tangled game, A pull towards you, whispers my own name. Worlds apart, a logic hard to see, But stolen moments are all I crave of thee. Your style ignites, your calmness sets me free, A drama-free zone, where I long to be. Kisses, a pleasure, a fleeting delight, Your playful hobby, burning ever so bright. Untamed spirit, respect in your embrace, A mystery lingers, etched upon your face. A simple hello, a harmless desire, But wanting more sets my soul on fire. Love's not the answer, a yearning undefined, A past filled with passion, a new feeling we find. More than a fling, but falling's out of reach, Loneliness lingers, your memory a breach. The thought of you thrills, a forbidden delight, Ignorance a shield, keeping things light. This tangled mess, a whatchamacallit strange, A bond unlabeled, a beautiful derange. No map for this journey, no guide by our side, But a feeling so potent, we can't just hide. We'll dance in the unknown, with hear...

Sweet words whispered, promises like rain, A player's charm, a heart-aching strain. Believe the lies, and you'll surely be played, Love's real embrace forever delayed. Doubt's whispers shunned, a game you can't win, Head spun with dreams, a love locked within. Those who warn you, a nuisance they seem, Blind to the truth, lost in a love's dream. All for nothing, a lonely goodbye, Empty promises, a teardrop-stained eye. The "why" lingers, a haunting refrain, Lost in the game, love turned to pain. With every beat, a love you imbue, A puppet on strings, a perfect you. Their whispered future, a castle of sand, Words like quicksilver, slip through your hand. They'll vanish in mist, leaving you alone, A game well played, to a heart of stone. "Don't hate the player," they'll coldly proclaim, Leaving you broken, whispering your own name. But listen closely, a truth to behold, Don't fear the risk, a story untold. Love with courage, with...

A million words, a book untold, My love for you, a story to unfold. Each verse, a whisper, faint and shy, Yet oceans deep, my feelings lie. Annoying, yes, I know it's true, But patience blooms, from love for you. Provoked you may be, but anger fades, Replaced by grace, in love's sweet parades. Through troubles stirred, a shield so strong, You guard my path, where I belong. A sister wished for, a dream come true, A shoulder's comfort, just for me and you. Grateful whispers, a heartfelt sigh, For years of love, that never die. Selfish, perhaps, this bond we share, But sisterhood's embrace, a burden we dare. Deputy parent, a playful name, A love that binds, a love aflame. These words, I say, with grateful tears, Chido, my sister, for all the years.

So yeah l have decided to open up a little bit about my feelings. I have tried to suppress my feelings for some time now but I guess it's high time I open up maybe it will help me get over it.  It happened that I meet this other guy a few months ago and I knew he liked me and I enjoyed watching him trying so hard to contain himself about his feelings for me, all these years I never understood how hard and painful it is not to be loved back by someone you love. I enjoyed breaking up with people but now I regret all those moments and if it was that easy I would go back and rectify my mistakes. You know what it was that moment when I thought that we were about to start to have something real when he started to push me away. It pained me all day as I saw him posting and updating his social media accounts and he never bothered himself to check up on me or reply to my overdue messages, I know it shouldn't matter but how can it not if it's him. From the looks of it, I now have to ...
