Harvard’s a black hole, info wise. So, let’s see.. what’s going on? What’s in the news? Anything? Anything? Hot take.. Not to be spicy and negative, but sometimes i’m too much myself. Too comfortable, open and vocal. I can be opinionated. Who knows who’s listening? It could be anyone. “That’s not red, it’s carmine,” I blirt. There’s a rise and rush of feelings around the table. FAQs...

we plan our future but have not added our broken leg Bam! Ouch! Things change fast We begin to heal filled with optimism We can still reach our goal a temporary side road we replan, replenish, rehearse Refocus on our future Car wreck! What? We’re hospitalized and helpless Rehab takes a long time Depression might set in We are disabled, disillusioned and disheveled Is there a glimmer of hope? Can we continue...

NO ONE TAKES ANYTHING AWAY
It was an ordinary funeral, nothing striking—except the strange restraint of the living. The coffin, made of somber wood, bore an inscription, succinct, sincere, almost brutal: In this world, no one takes anything away. And just below, like the advice of an old master to his absent-minded disciple: Be humble, and thank even your enemies. Take pleasure, as much as you can, in...

Premium Member His eyes, molten amber in the midday sun's rays, shine with an intensity that takes my breath away
His eyes, molten amber in the midday sun's rays, shine with an intensity that takes my breath away, Falling in love with him was an inevitable crime when our gazes met in a moment of eternity, Those sparkling gems express unspoken feelings, unwritten stories, promises yet to be uttered, I lose myself in their beauty, remaining motionless, a...

Premium Member what it takes to recover
Recovery turns to reduction. Curing a disorder of consumption through crumbs, Staring at the dish before me, An enemy of the state of my mind. I fear I’ll turn back to a pantry for protection, While taking microbites in front of peers. My fear turns to fullness, And I empty my being, My soul, My vitality And flush it away. ...

PROBLEM
Problem Very disturbing Being the victor Makes you happy, Being the loser Make you worry and worthless. Problem a disruption Very annoying To the educated It Hinders growth Destroys relationships Leaving many vulnerable Acting from panic and fear. Have anything flourish amidst war?? No schooling and more Problem very practical When you get a prey It awards you When you bite More than you can chew It disgrace you Don't let folly takes...

Bloom takes its hold
As the last petal falls, Fall chases out summer. Dead leaves drift into halls, Winds hum like a drummer. Days were spent very short, As long nights bring deep sleeps. Cold breeze came as escort To the houses it sweeps. Frost adorns windowpanes, While the coal fire glows. Golden fields brim with grains, Hens cluck as a cock crows. The last petal still swirls As the night air...

The winner takes it all - a original poem inspired by the song by ABBA
I played my part, I gave my best, Yet unlike me, you did it effortless, No trophy to hold or prize to claim Just empty hands and an echo of shame. I stand beside the constant cheers for your glory, left alone in my own forlorn story. You smiled as if it were just fate, As if my...
