A disappointing fate deals the card of an ironic life.
An irony that comes with a smile,
A smile of which is upside down, accompanied by tears.
A life where everything held dear is meant to be broken,
For the amazing love once felt now escapades its way out,
Trailing behind it a presence of remembrance,
A sense of mesmerization in [...]

The sun is slowly rising,
The sea is sadly singing,
The birds are anxiously chirping,
And I’m sitting there watching,
As the world takes on a new fashion,
And America takes on a new passion,
As a nation we are moving on,
Labeling what’s behind us as gone,
And what’s in front of us as beyond,
The human imagination,
A creation of fascination,
A nation of [...]

It’s raining in my heart.
The tears won’t stop tonight.
In the end we both left each other behind.
Two pride enveloped fools.
It’s like the short lived, forgotten memories,
You last left behind for me.
Like forever - I am missing you
The world without you will be full of darkness.
Many times I wished it was all just a dream.
Day by [...]

I suddenly think of you when the leaves begin to change color,
Autumn is here, the stars are beginning to disappear, shying away under the gathering clouds,
An army of dismay is marching through a world already in despair,
Where have you gone, when the rays of hope have stopped shining,
The silver breezes of wind are beginning to [...]

The deceitful summer tricks the trees, roots, and animals into momentary prosperity.
Later, leaves yellow, then leap from trees in a tumbling lamentation at green’s going off.
Winter pales and shrouds the gladiolas from witnessing spring’s demise.
Twilight mourns the bright, babe of morn with a black cloak.
Yet the moon remains hopeful, bearing a light in hopes of [...]

His dark, sleepless eyes squinted against the sunlit horizon as he softly gasped for air. Each breath of the filthy forest oxygen he inhaled caused his stomach to quiver, but he seemed indifferent to it. The intense summer sun smoldered the diamond-cut sword against his thigh, but he could not move for fear of being [...]

After reading “Once More to the Lake,” I noticed E. B. White’s adverse perspective towards new inventions and changes. “Peace and goodness and jollity. The only thing that was wrong now, really, was the sound of the place, an unfamiliar nervous sound of the outboard motors,” emphasizing his hatred towards technological improvements. Further supporting his [...]

A speck of snow slowly descends from the sad sky, gracefully landing on a mound created by others before it. A brief breeze carries the next set of snow off course, and a new mound is generated. I sit by the crackling fireplace anticipating a day’s fun outside. Closing my eyes, I imagine all the [...]

Nostalgic Green, the color of youth and hope,
Deflecting images of the past into the future,
Mounds of history covered in green, burnt to ashes,
Oceans of fire burning the flames of hope,
Against the emerald past,
Pushing the future towards nostalgia…
Looking back at the good old days,
Too far to remember, too close to forget,
But the color remains as the [...]

You can hear a round of applause,
When a gallant American soldier falls,
Deep down the dark halls,
The applause amplifies as time stalls,
Everything is quiet and still,
Even in the midst of a painful shrill,
Even in the Midst of someone being killed,
You can still hear the thrill,
Screaming and yelling so loud,
Each one saying, “I’m so proud,”
I sit there [...]
