I don’t know what time it is. I step outside onto my endearingly decorated porch in the cold, brisk air, and that tells me that it’s morning. I reach into my back pocket to find it vacant, then tap the rest of my pockets, searching. Where the hell is my phone? Maybe it can give me a clue or tell me anything that’s happened this past year. Let me backtrack and give you a little explanation:
...
There once was a magnificent kingdom
Ruled by a less than graceful king
But it didn’t matter because he was full of wisdom
He won many wars and his legacy was flourishing
The key ingredient in his success was how he was always optimistic
Try as they may no one could ever stop him
To think they could was just wishful thinking and unrealistic
The crown sat magnificently on his head
And a warrio...
An example is when your sweet, tart, juicy peach begins to rot
You could take another bite but good it would be not
Another example of decay is that faint lingering smell at an open casket funeral
And if you ever lost someone you loved you wouldn’t find that last line humoral
Decay is when a once white collar, kid friendly neighborhood becomes overrun with gangs and robberies
This is when you c...
Sweetness and softness were old friends seldom heard from
As I hold the knife in my hand my heart beats in my chest like a drum
Anger and aggression are now the only friends I know
My heart is cold as ice like it rests in a bed of snow
Strife and oppression are things I’m certainly familiar with
The friends I had will surely start to drift
Once they know what I have done
My own brother star...
I’m truly sorry for everything I put you through
Unspeakable we’re the things that I would do
I was manic and unmedicated, a canon ready to explode
My actions were enough to make your head implode
I know I can’t change the past or erase my mistakes
But I can’t lose you now, ever high are the stakes
My love for you has only since grown
I want to make you feel like a king on a throne
You say ...
Strawberries; purity, sensuality, fertility, abundance, modesty
Due to high vitamin c content, to your health they are a commodity
Apples; good health and future happiness
Their crisp, sweet taste makes them the opposite of nastiness
Peaches; prosperity, happiness, sensuality, immortality
They remind me of my childhood, so I eat them nostalgically
Plums; perseverance and hope, as well as beau...
Trying something new
Like traveling to an unknown city
Stepping on the balcony just to realize there’s no beautiful view
Your first week at a new job
Going through orientation and training
Only to find out, your new boss is a total snob
Sometimes trying something new can be the start of something great
Other times it can lead to disappointments
Despite this, don’t be afraid of new beginnin...
Go the extra mile
Pick up the trash you see in the street on your walk
Hold the door open for the sweet old lady in a wheelchair
Pick up an extra shift to cover for your sick coworker
Make your significant other a decadent meal, but don’t leave out dessert and a bottle of good wine
Braid your patients hair after you give them a shower
Apologize for the things that weren’t your fault, but thi...
Time is of the essence
When we met, you truly valued my presence
Things got rough, arguments, infidelities, and drugs
Now the only thing I truly crave is your hugs
Time and distance can never keep us apart
Baby boy our love is nothing less than art
You help me keep my chin up when things get rough
Your kisses are something that I can never get enough
We slept outside, pouring was the rain ...
Somberness is like a dark sky filled with beautiful and shining stars, but the stars are all concealed up by clouds. It is as dreary as cancelled plans to go chill at a water park with friends, ruined by a rainy day. Have you ever loved someone so dearly, that you’d do any and everything to see them smile, but they simply do not reciprocate those feelings and they’d rather only stay for a while. F...
