Insatiable Tumultuous hunger pangs Unrestrainable The right kind of food For the right kind of appetite Serves just two persons Multiple courses Quite a feast for the senses Divine, yet sinful Best enjoyed while hot Small portioned delicacies Consume immediately Top with a cigarette Then realize: you are still Insatiable

Who Says Men Have All The Power? (Senryu Series)
She told me once that she's never seen a firefly. Last night, I tried to catch her one. The evening breeze had drawn it close; silently it wandered through the open window. At first, moonlight masked its entrance. The modest torch it carried had been overwhelmed by shades of grey. It landed on a tiny leaf, from vines that crawled up the walls, and into my room. Resting quietly on its platform, the dull, green strobe pulsated, slow constant rhythm. I cupped my hands, extended them, and gently reached out toward the unsuspecting visitor. It stayed, motionless. At that moment, I knew it was mine to keep. For you. For me? I can't remember. It had become my light, my warmth. All that mattered, to me it was. I opened my cupped hands. Still it stayed, motionless. One, two, three, four. I noticed that every burst had become dimmer than the previous. It was dying. *I imagined it must've tried hard, gathering enough courage to shine brightly in the darkness, but a firefly cannot outshine the brightest star.* If I had known. If I listened, I would've heard its humble plea: *Though my light fades, let me rest here in your own warmth. You don't glow green, but I see it. You are shining. Let me rest here in your own warmth.* She told me once that she's never seen a firefly. Tonight, I will tell her how I had caught her one, and what I learned: *Seek not the weak light that flickers in another. Look inside you. It burns bright red.*

Re: The Annual Office Shindig Where You Should Attend (Even If You Don't Want To)
*We walked past the old acacia tree It was raining, we were wet, but she held my hand and pushed on We sat on a park bench She laid her head on my shoulder, and she told me: true love waits* Wait she said We were wet Her fingers dug in my shoulders. I laid her head on the grass She pulled me close, I pushed on They could have seen us from the park as it rained beneath the acacia
