If Hillary somehow taken Trump's sauce
Found her ladle before her e-mails loss
Dumped all the macaroni
From the plate of Trump phoney
Our stomachs now would not ache, turn and toss

Hillary had the kitchen sink, was a huge favorite on betting sites and had the presidential election won in her back pocket. When it counted the most- the debates, defending the discrepancy regarding her e-mails she became doe eyed and became the hunted.

The One That Got Away

My ‘if only’
My inconsolable regret,
My struggle and my strength.

'In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.'
- Albert Camus

Cartoon Characters

Are black clouds swirling above my head?
Are birds and butterflies?
Can you tell when I'm angry?
Does smoke spew from my ears?
Wouldn't that be easier?
If we were animations
Alive and fictitious
Right there
Before your eyes
I reflate after every defeat
Arrive safe and clean and unbroken
Back in my bed the next morning
Nothing happened
Wouldn't that be easier?

write everyday or brilliant thoughts will fly from your head.
it'll be an airport, everything passing through never stopping for a quiet conversation about love

The boy who laughs

The Catman told a joke
The boy's laughter bounced off the walls
I knew that laugh, so I smiled to myself

I knew before even seeing him
His broad smile lights up the room
His full laugh fills the room
fills me

If only I could be the reason for his smile
If only I could be within his sight
If only it could be as more than a friend

Something I wrote a couple years ago about a boy I liked.

You may notice that I use code names for some people I refer to.

If only

If only I'd said the words
what my heart wants to convey,
I bet we are now both happy
singing our songs together.

If only I have clearly shown
how my feelings are sincere.
Perhaps you're still here
Smiling at me so clear.

If only I had said honestly
that our feelings are mutual
I wouldn't regret that day
and writing this poem.

If I could have the chance
to fall in love again
I wouldn't be the same coward
I'll be one step forward.

Can you even imagine how powerful I'd be if I loved myself even half as much as I wish you loved me?

Longing..

I long...
                      For you to hold my hands
                      while doing everything we planned.

                                For you to whisper in my ears
                                as you drive away my fears.

                      For you to be my light
                      Every time darkness covers my sight.

                                For me to listen to your heart's beat,
                                each moment we meet.

As much as I want this, reality strikes and it's hard to dismiss.
That even if I know this is all wrong, it's still you I always long.
