Where Legends are born

Being pronounced "Dead to Reason"
He murdered Her, the Scorpion King did, My husband, the Legendary Robin Williams did one sunny afternoon in his lead with Dustin Hoffman in "Hook"
His Dream was clear, a rough, clear man, a flowered vest, a ronin world, unlike its story sea of Sky and Rainbow Fairy bend and origin of the Stars called the legendary, mythological fairy World and Realm called Planet, Fllie, the size of Neptune, only Carbuncled and personified under each Blue orbital for the Stars.
He withheld himself, and made his Own heart smile, a faint glow of Innocence no one could see one outmatch for a billion Starry skies of Childhood Nephilim of the millennium falcon
And for that, his Flight was Merry, Mary. And for that, We, the fairy of the Stars, shall always remember Him.

 No Mountain too Steep if you truly believe

Words In a Fist

Your words hurt more then ice cold fists

I don't see how you could have missed

Your words of spite, I know not against me

You take it on on the ones you love

Like a boxer with a barbwire glove

The words you use hurt more then ever 

I can't see why you want us together 

Maybe one day you could see

I'm not good enough for you, and your words outmatch me

It hurts my heart and breaks my soul

If only someday you'd believe what I had told

I loved you the day I say your face

And I will till I am forgotten and old

Though the words you hit me with

I know I am a dolt

The words you throw in my face feels like a lightning bolt

Your words will do as much as they feel

I know the way you treat me

Is undirected, because I feel your empathy 

When you throw the final punch

Aim for my heart, and try to forgive me


The Ants and the Wasp

Once upon a time,
some ants lived happily together in their nest.
Birds, rabbits, frogs, and beetles 
admired and envied their harmonic way of living.

One day, a wasp invaded their space;
it forced itself into their home,
with its dark, scary sting and body.

All the ants ran away for their lives,
except for one tiny ant - he stood
right in front of the wasp's sting!
The wasp was irritated and amazed
by this young insect's courage.

"Do you know you are no match for me?!"
the wasp scorned the young ant.

The ant was unshaken and unmoved!

"Together we can outmatch you!" the
ant shouted.

The rest of the ants felt the burning
courage from the young ant’s voice,
and rose up in arms to fight the wasp;
to fight for their home
to fight for their freedom.

The wasp’s sting was no match for thousands of ants.
He was carried and thrown into a bird’s nest,
where he became the birds’ meal.

The young ant, from then on,
became a hero. He was knighted by the Queen Ant, 
and from then on he was called Sir Victor.

Unbearable Beauty On Her Face

I first saw sensuality on her face;
Sweet, red lips, bedroom eyes,
And a smooth, flawless face.

It was the most beautiful face that I had
Ever seen; the horizon as the sun sets
Or a sky bursting with meteor showers
Couldn’t outmatch it.

Tears in my eyes was my response
To this master art; I couldn’t bear
My emotions seeing Gaia in front of me;
Her beauty revealing her infinite divinity.
