Cautious

Be cautious, high voltage.

Maybe rude

Maybe kind

Snap off without notice

Then act like everything’s fine

Sincere eyes tucked behind a wise grin

Never know if you’ll see them again

They’re rare like hitting the lottery

Fickled like catching the wind

Stepping out every so often

To feel the sand in-between loose toes

To laugh at past mistakes

To blow kisses out the car window

But they disappear with the arrival of snow

When the birds return

Love blooms with the scents of spring

And their ambitions soar on feathered wings

But until then be cautious

Love always, Esha

Real Ones

Real Ones  

I gotta give a shout-out to the real ones 

That still believe 

Despite the trauma that the world brings 

You still search for better things 

No longer clinging to the hopes of breaking their ceiling 

That had you reeling 

The injustice of a system that does not care about you 

Or your feelings  

Has failed to stop your climb 

You are a lion inside 

Devoid of the ignorance 

That makes a wise man blind 

Thanks for reading!

Sincerely, Esha
