"My Work Is My Hobby"


My Work is my Hobby by Simplymarrimye - pic 1


 "I was born to find the BEAUTY in everyone "

 A strong, dependable Taurus who leads the way when it comes to reaping the rewards of hard work. Lovers of everything that is fine and beautiful, Taureans surround themselves with material gains. This is a sensual, tactile sign. Touch is very important in everything from work to romance. Stable and conservative, Taureans are among the most reliable of the zodiac. While sometimes viewed as stubborn, this sign will plod along on a task until the very end, ensuring that everything is up to standard. They're highly creative and thoroughly enjoy making things with their own hands.

Looking At The Brighter Side






I know it's been a while...
Things changed but for the better.
Some are not meant to unfold
yet there are good ones that happened.

I lost track but now I'm back.
Hoping for the best to come.
I wish to forget the past...
keep the faith and move forward...

I've never been so passionate
to write what's on my mind...
This time I want  greener crops
that will bring abundance...

Retrospect

Retrospect by simplymarrimye


The beauty of life may come in handy
Morning brings new hope and fresh starts
As we open our eyes... we gaze upon sunrise
As we sleep at night... we glance at moonlight.

Look around... a brief smile may capture your soul
A vivid retrospect flashes back from a distance
Leaving a shadow of someone in your past
An awakening of the mind... made you deaf and blind.

Light is what you see when darkness subsides
Now you can seek whatever  had been lost
Let the wounds be healed by the passing of time
It's your turn to restore, recharge and regain to finally relieve the pain.


The Bridge Of Life

The Bridge Of Life by Simplymarrimye


The bridge of life may be strong or weak
It may be high but never too low
It may be long but never too short
We start in one end...to reach the other side.

It is a journey to a destination
We keep going without obstacles
We may halt, if something hinders.
It needs support to carry the weight of heavy loads.

The bridge of life may collapse or fall
When its foundation is shaky and unstable
It may break apart and leave us hanging
With nothing to hold... but only faith to lead the way.

"We'll cross the bridge when we get there."
Whatever kind of bridge we have in our life
If we remain firm and determined...
No bridge is long or weak enough to make us stumble down.


I'm in Cloud 9

I'm in cloud 9 by simplymarrimye
The reasons why I'm in cloud 9

Beyond happiness is what you feel
when you're in cloud 9
It's like you're floating on air
and you wish to stay there forever

Living a life in comfort and wealth
brings an extreme euphoria
but  a castle is an empty place
without a loving king and queen to embrace

Life is Colorful


Life is Colorful by simplymarrimye

My youngest son made this canvass
If you will just look at it,
different colored lines are entangled
Like LIFE, 
it's simple yet complicated.
We live in a world 
where black is black and white is white.
It's how we see the color of life… 
our own life.
Sometimes, it’s blue…
We are sad and regretful
There are times, 
we’re in flaming red…
We feel passionate and aggressive
We always hope 
for greener pasture
Abundance in any aspect
But life will never be constant.
Change is inevitable 
and time is moving fast-forward.
If we are slow, we'll be left behind.
The colors may change
but how we spend every moment of life
is what truly matters.
The choice is ours...
It's how we paint our own canvass


Broken Vow




Expectation comes with love
Whether we admit it or not we tend to hope for things to happen


Broken vow by simplymarrimye


You promised me a bed of roses
but thorns are scattered beneath our sheets.

You promised me the stars in the sky
but I always see them every time you punch my face.

You promised that you'll never leave me
but now, I'm alone and miserable.

You promised me love everlasting
but you broke my heart and crushed it into pieces.

Your every promise is a broken vow
that never should I believed at all.


Forgiveness

Forgiveness by simplymarrimye

Indeed, to forgive is hard
and sometimes we cannot give it overnight.

Some people may need more time...
more courage to heal the wounds of the past.

It's a decision to make...
a choice that will set us free from the chains of hate and anger.
