LETTER TO MY BELOVED by Pauldesimple

Dear beloved
I'm sorry to inform you that I had resolved
And arrived at the conclusion
To stop our distant communication
And put an end to our beautiful relationship
And glowing friendship

For I'm becoming insane

And can no longer bear the pain

Of traveling to your place

Before I see your face

Furthermore I'm tired of writing

And endlessly waiting

For days

Before hearing from you always

For whenever I pick my handset

To call your gadget

It's either switched off

Since power in you area is always off

Or out of service

The usual from our telecommunication companies

So I decide to do this

That we might have peace

Finally I'm coming to see your mother

And ask your father

For your hand in marriage

Because our love has come of age

And I can't give away

Whatever the pay

Thereby saying goodbye to a relationship

And welcoming companionship

But before I end this letter

I have a question that needs an urgent answer 

Baby

Will you marry me?

Your truly

And faithfully

by Pauldesimple

MY ORDEAL by Pauldesimple

My rehearsal before the mirror

Was concluded without an error

My lines were intact 

And my stage movements perfect

I was prepared to dazzle my audience

With a beautiful performance

At first, I was in charge

Taking my audience on a voyage

Into my world of rhymes

And mimes

And the look on every face

Shows that we were on the same phase

Then suddenly I missed a last word

A miss I could not afford

I saw my world falling

Even with the conditioner on, 

I was sweating

Going forward became impossible

Moving backward wasn't available

I was in the middle of nowhere

So I stopped there

Yet with this commotion

I received a standing ovation

But I went home infuriated

And defeated
