no place, i would rather be.
sitting on golden sand, by sea.
once single, then dyad, now triad.
growing in love our little family.

and the sun shines down glad,
and we chase away, lingering sad
and we smile, the summer day long.
and i watch play, boy and proud dad

but in other climes, a sad song,
plays in a room where life is not long
and there is much pain
and somehow it is so, very wrong,

that some live and gain
and some who, seeded by bad grain,
are short changed, days of life
and  deseperate death reigns.


but in both places, love conquers strife
and in both places love is beautifuly rife.
love, lives hopeful and large, everywhere
because whether  long or short, we all live under damocle'an knife.....

prompt; write a ruba'i/ ruba'iyat.(persian writing  form similar to a quatrain, with a specific rhyming scheme.)


this is my first attempt, i wanted to contrast the ease of some lives as opposed to others and the indifferent fate that will someday claim us all....

i could just go downstairs
look you in the eyes
and open my mouth
smile, speak, anything
i could just get next to you
and sit down in triumph
for having proved myself wrong
and have a conversation
about anything you want
i could just get my nose
out of my book
tearing my eyes away from the words
that offer me an excuse to be alone
and show you that i know
youre more important
i could prove to myself that i am STRONG
and i CAN try
i could just try...
just...
but i dont.
instead
im sitting in the dark
(i cant see anything)
eating mac n cheese
and thinking about how much i want you
alone with my
comfort food and comfort thoughts
because i could and i should but i cant
......but im deseperate...

one thousand feathers,
a bird does not make,
less there are wings
a heart and beak
and such a deseperate
want to fly,
into the upper reaches
of the bluest, widest sky.

without these things,
it is just a pile of dreams,
lost and forgotten.

no, it seems to be,
one thousand feathers
in a pile, is a sad
and sorry thing.

If I ever said "I love you"
I'm sorry
Selfish me
Only deseperate to feel.

searching,
searching,
im searching
for somewhere to call my home
cause i feel like im falling off
but i think the universe has better plans for me
but i feel like thats not what i need
battling with myself, and my thoughts are no help
so call me deseperate
i just need someone to cloud mental
i dream of better life
so show me that its worth living still
cause im dying inside for real
its tiring doing this all my life
sometimes i just want to die
i dont want no one sight
because in a blink of eye
i fall in love everytime
with every person who makes it seem
like these moments aint temporary
the heart is so decieving
and i can not believe it
this is what i do to myself
baby i think i need some help
She is just chilling out when she sees your red face.
She looks up to see your red face.
She sees your crisp blue eyes watery.
And you say to her "I think I am in love with you!"
At first, she is shell Shocked
And then...

You reach around her waist and pulling her to her feet, Embracing her into a hug. Pulling her towards you. Slowly pour your love into your kiss. Deeping it further as you go. Arms still held tightly around her waist. Her hand snakes its way up to your neck and resting it in your hair.
She wishes...
She wishes she can make this last forever. But when the time came, she became deseperate  to have you in her hold. You grabbing her and kissing her. But then you pull her closer to your chest. Both of you are breathing shallow and panting.

"I love you"...
All she could manage to say was "I love you too."
Then you started laughing. Calling her your little ball of fire...
The Dreams I have are Magical.
