This is me trying

I do,

I do think about you.

In parking lots

in grocery lines

in coffee shops

in dinning halls

in podium stands

in traffic jams.

During long exams

during long rides

during warm hugs

during cold stares

during painful sweat

during cheerful tears.

I still find you in the warmth of my bed,

in the spilling of the milk.

I haven't forgotten you,

I swore I never would, and

I mean to be a woman of word.

So dear little me,

I'm making this for you.

I'll make our dreams come true.

Poetry: Describe a Desperate Love
Describe a moment in which love felt uncertain, suffocating and so dire that it brought you or the character to a panic.

Zorro

oh you were so inviting under that july sun

my rain knew how to stop only right then

When it met your eyes and saw the stars

oh you were so inviting,

you were shining so bright

in that crowd of sad cows.

you gifted me a new set of thoughts

a new set of feelings yo wear

my head started yelling the rules

but my heart kept singing your song

I knew you weren't mine

still, I allowed myself to rest

on that warm shoulder of yours

the regret only ate me when she was around

it only felt like a sin when you were in her lips

we were doomed since the beginning

still I chose to be by your side

your light was so bright I couldn't stop.

yes, maybe I overdosed

but how could have I not

when your smile made the roses sing

and the wind dance

oh dear D,

I hope you are no longer with that girl,

Because she was so nice

And i wouldn't wish sweet mockingbird to be with

A treacherous stupid fox

Fortune Cookie Fun!
Fortune cookies may not actually be authentically Chinese (a fun curiosity that likely originated with a Japanese family in San Francisco) but…they are still fun & exciting to open! Write me a fortune in 15 words or less. If you can, include some alliteration.
