      <description>Dreams  

I’m cursed to know

My heart’s desire.

Those dreams

I’ve held so dear.

  

It hurts to look

Within my life

And see none,

Ever near.

      <description>Memories of Old  

What can you do

When memories hurt?

Fear, sadness, rejection,

And loneliness

Pervade my remembrances.

No wonder I am

Who I am?

  

I would cry,

But that seems

So silly . . .</description>

So much to see,

      <description>Vengeance  

How do you like

Being pushed into a corner?

Painful, isn’t it?

  

Who’s crying now?

Who is desperate

And deprived?

  

Welcome!

Welcome!

To my Hell.

Isn't life funny?

People wander,

Some blessed people

Find happiness and joy.

Some people only

Self-loathe.

Many people

Live a combination. . . .</description>

An elegant savage, that's what you are.

How effective your deceptions.

From abuser to Saint,

In the blink of an eye.

 

I defeated you.

      <description>Interpretation:  Divine Sacrifice

 

 

What is

Divine Sacrifice?

 

Can we all not strive?

Struggle?

Give?

 

Is sacrifice only to God?

What of mankind?

      <description>To Be a Knight

One must have Honor,

Loyalty and Valor, too.

 

Honor thy Crown,

Defend her well.

Be strong,

Be courageous.

      <description>Interpretation:  Hard Luck

 

Often I've heard, &amp;quot;If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.&amp;quot;

I challenge that thought~

Hard luck is better than no luck.

      <description>Comedy 2005 

Too serious is the world today.

      <description>My Joys: 

To hear the nights waves as they crash at my feet.
To feel water lap on my ankles and
See the moonlight glisten.

      <description>My Plea

I feel shunned by cupid's bow~

      <description>Quiet Fridays

 

I hate quiet Fridays.

They are hollow and dull.

Their stillness lacks emotion.

No emotions mean no color.

 

I need sound.

I need vibrancy.

I need company…

Or appreciate the dew.

I shudder to be pleasant,

When first,

Speaking to you.

 

Now let's recall priorities,
