Mark always claimed his late-
night drives were just to clear
his head.
His wife believed him until
she found a second phone
inside his desk.
The screen lit up with a
emoji text message from
a name she knew well.
"Can't wait until we can finally
stop hiding our love, Charlie,"
it read.
Her husband was sleeping
with the one man she trusted
the most: her twin brother.
Rumple Stein returns with a
chilling watching about the
true price of a mission tooth.
Rumple Stein steps from the
dark corner of the room,
His crooked hands weaving a
tale of deep doom.
"Listen close, little child, as
you drift off to sleep,
There is a terrible price for
the secrets you keep."
He points a long finger at the
gap in your smile,
"The Tooth Fairy watches
your bed all the while."
"If you hide a lost tooth
underneath the white sheet,
You must leave a shiny silver
coin for her treat."
For she is no angel with soft
glowing halo wings,
But a pale, bony phantom
that silently clings.
If the coin isn't there when
she slips through the air,
She will twist all your thoughts
into frozen despair.
With sharp rusted pliers and a
cold, breathless hiss,
She will take every tooth for
the coin that you miss.
She will yank out the top and
rip out the bottom,
Leaving empty red guns
where you completely forgot
them.
Without any teeth, your soft
voice will just fade,
Trapped in the silence of the
bargain you made.
You will never speak words,
you will nevermore shout,
Once the cruel bone collector
had cleared your mouth out.
I want to hug your entire body and die of love for a lifetime
Yes friend that is how
I feel about you
Also It is your special
Love that I want
So badly
Don't forget to hug
My whole body
That is something
I just love receiving from you
Yes I am happy that we have each
Other in our lives
And I could never lived
Without you
You mean the world to me
Also we belong in God's life
We would be lost if
We didn't had God in our lives
Your name defines my love, a song flowing through my entire being,
Your presence is the rhythm of my heart, the metronome of our eternal dance,
To keep your smile ever alive, I vowed to embrace any pain,
Even when envy and indifference wait to crush me under their weight.
I buried them far away when your lips whispered our first love,
Your words turned the world's burden into a gentle, warm breeze,
You saw my imperfections and never turned away from our path,
How could I deny your flaws when they are stars in your vast sky?
Your flaws are part of you, a puzzle that only I can understand,
If my heart has room for you, it will always have room for them too,
Being together means more than always walking side by side in life,
It's about growing, healing, and rising together on our journey.
I have never been more grateful for the gift you offer me,
With you, I discovered the light that long awaited to be set free,
We rewrote stories and shaped our destinies in an eternal embrace,
In a world where love flows forever, and we are waves in motion.
The night has spread its cloak of cold stars over the entire earth,
I, a lost soul, call to merge with you into eternity,
In winter sheets, like two flames dancing their shadows,
Weaving our dreams into a secret ritual under the moonlight.
You, my distant light, are the beacon at the horizon of my heart,
The distance between us stretches like an ocean of endless silence,
My thoughts sink, transforming into waves of longing,
Shaking my tranquility, while desires remain unfulfilled in the abyss.
My lonely bed becomes a vast and deep universe of dreaming,
Embraced by the hope of your coming, like a dream of silk and light,
My soul waits for you to hold it in your warm and gentle arms,
To melt away the silence in your embrace and create eternal love.
Love my broken heart with the tenderness of a spring breeze,
Whisper sweet words to me and weave them into a fabric of peace,
Let me float on the wings of pure fantasy, escaping routine,
We travel through the symphony of the night, lost in timelessness.
We are twin rhythms of the same heart, beating in unison,
In the endless symphony of the night, where time loses its form.
In her words, I discover an entire universe, a world hidden beneath the everyday mundane,
She, fascinating with every glance and thought, a muse that knows no end,
When she waters the daisies in her garden, they sing hymns of gratitude to her,
And her smile, like a sun, illuminates the entire sky of my heart,
This smile makes the heart bloom more than the daisies,
She is magic incarnate, a being from ethereal dreams, always strong,
Nowhere common, nowhere fragile, but a presence that defies all limits,
Wherever she goes, flowers smile, and sunlight dances around her,
Suitors are enchanted by her, everything becomes more desirable under her gaze,
Like a dream turned into reality, a magic that never fades,
She is happiness personified, wearing elegance like a crown,
A crown of stars eternally shining on the brow of an ethereal goddess,
I will never cease to revere her, devoted for all eternity,
Beside her, every moment becomes poetry, my soul finds solace,
In her divine and sublime presence, eternity gains a new meaning,
And her love, like a beacon, lights my way in the endless sea.
Flaming whirlwind dance of the two steppers
They burn the floor up with their clicking shoes
I cannot keep my eyes off them
Surely they will win the contest
The entire room is silent except for those two
Others leave the dance floor, to stare
It is like watching the happily ever after of a movie
I am thrilled she is my daughter with her new groom

I’ve lived my entire life in the dark
Never knowing what was around the bend.
My future would always seem pretty stark.
I never knew on whom I could depend.
My life was very different from yours,
That I can absolutely guarantee.
I never saw anything but closed doors.
But please don’t ever take pity on me.
Early on, I would try to get along
Simply by understanding my limits.
But my will power wasn’t very strong
And I felt trapped every, single minute.
Then one day, I learned that it could all change,
That I could live my life out of the dark.
This new world, to me, never felt strange.
All I needed was that one, little spark.
Love is like a string of dreams.
It is all empty when awaken.
Perhaps I was born to be that much sentimental.
Thus, I am teased by love.
The dream we are chasing after is vanished as time pass by.
We comprehend that love is out of our control completely, only when we awaken.
I longed for flying high up to the sky, and I was so much impulsive at the beginning.
If I still think of you someday, you should believe that I was deeply in love with you once.
Love is like a string of dreams.
It is growing in the fantasy.
If we do not see eye to eye, our love will be all in vain in our entire life, then !!!

It takes hundred of years sitting together in the same boat.
It takes thousand of years sharing the same bed with.
It calls: The predestined affinity.
I do not discern
distance between
me and the moon...
if she lives in
my heart...
Don't realize because they
say the sun
is inaccessible...
if in me It created
permanent station...
nothing to be surprised
how do i feel if we all own
the absolute universe
inward us... !
I was having a mediocre day.
Nothing exciting or unusual
Until I passed a meadow
Lovely she was but lovelier
was the laughter of a little girl
She appeared to be about three
She was holding flowers and laughing
Her laugh and smile were both contagious.
I felt myself smiling.
Began to whistle spontaneously.
The entire day rescued and enthused
by the optimistic laughter of a pretty waif
Whose name I do not know
However, her laugh will forever be remembered
as it revived my soul, helping me to recall that
there is always goodness in the world somewhere.

One minute everything was fine but the next, everything went sour.
Terrorists hijacked some planes and attacked the World Trade Towers.
Because of those damn terrorists, 2,977 innocent people were killed.
They attacked the World Trade Towers which took six years to build.
Construction of the Towers began in 1966 and ended in 1972.
What those terrorists did was a cowardly and evil thing to do.
The people who were born on that day are now adults legally, time flies.
An entire nation still mourns the loss of each and every person who died.
(I dedicate this poem to the nearly 3,000 people who perished on September 11, 2001.)
