Life is short

Premium Member Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long
Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long, and the world is full of questions that remain suspended in the air, unanswered. I want to explore as much as possible, to learn about cultures that clothe the heart, to speak new languages that open doors to unknown universes, to try skills that ignite...

Life is short make it work
When I was serious You took for granted. Totally ignored my requests Treated them like games. Used it to against. And support your anger. Flying those Fs words Towards my simple world. Once, I tried teasing you, You found it too offensive. Ended our very unstable friendship, While behaving insensibly and immaturely, When thing has gone dead, What would you do instead? Long for many new days, So I...

Breaking promises
Wednesday, August 2024. Good morning to my friend. Yes, I promises you I would stop messaging you, But I just can’t help it, so I broke my promises. Since you would not read them, I might as well do it, Write whatever I wanted to say. I miss you like a bullet in my head. It gave me headache and...

Life Is Short so why not make it sweet also It is fragile, can be taken from you in an instant. Value it deeply, don't take it for granted because you never know when it will be exhausted, finished Savor each moment Count your Blessings Enjoy all the fruits that it has to offer As long as you have your health you're ahead of the game Be grateful for we are only on this...

Life Is Short
It's her birthday! Neither the first nor the second, Just born and just celebrated, for she has journeyed through for so long, so long to stare at the clear sky, so long the register as a part of the world, so long to put an end to the prolonged wait of all the people excited to catch her glimpse. Her journey has...

We only get the chance to see the beauty of a tulip for a couple of weeks once a year.Strange kind of it's like life if you don't pay attention to the good things they'll be gone. Life teaches you many different lessons as a tulip appreciate what you have before you never have it....

Choking, churning dense river of clouds. Vengeful, raging, wrathful airspace, where seraphs and cherubs are murdered, where cold torrential demons are unleashed. Dank deep noons and nights interbreed, incestuous and quailing, unholy waters wailing, exploding, spilling specters, erasing, defacing, disgracing all that was. We all know the inequality of cruelty. Cloudbursts inflict the most on the least. Drenched hopes and soaked assumptions are undone by mudslides,...

It’s hard to leap into a place Where different ways await us And we may struggle keeping pace With habits that may date us. So grow or stagnate, that’s the choice, Though change might make...
