I am the warm embrace that breaks the chill,
The steady anchor when the waters rise,
I am the quiet peace that cures your ill,
The golden truth beneath untroubled skies.
I hold your trembling hand against the storm,
I guide your tired steps into the light,
To keep your fragile, weary spirit warm,
And watch you safely through the darkest night.
I am your faithful shield, your closest friend,
The heart that beats in rhythm with your own,
I promise I will guard you to the end,
So you will never have to walk alone.
Step closer now, and let me lock the door—
I am the surgeon, and you are on the floor.
Smell your words
Make it stinks
Usualness heart will embrace it
Spell your thoughts
Make it sounds real in fault
Wandering heart will go loose
Such is the play of a lively class
Which Literature crave out of every student
In shadows where our whispers play,
Two hearts entwined in soft ballet,
Forbidden dreams in moonlight gleam,
Each stolen glance, a secret scheme,
Desire ignites the hidden spark,
A bond that blooms in endless dark,
Yet fate conspires to keep us far,
And yet here we are.

Flowers with love hearts from you dear,

Thank You for all you had to say.
I need hugs and kisses for me,
sitting with cookies and hot tea.
You so far away.
As an Isrealite leaving Egypt we might see?a Venezulaen president.. Pushed out

What has the ability to reach in and twist your radio dial from happy Sunshine FM, to Doom and Gloom FM, against your will?
I thought we could make it, if given half a chance,
never dreaming it would be our last dance.
It's just not fair for life to be so cruel!
I loved you so much and tried for so long
to convince you that loving me wasn't wrong.
Now you think I was playing you for a fool!
I put up with a lot of 'cause you were The One;
stuck by you even when I knew it was dumb.
You put me through hell, but I was 'in love'!
But, as fate would have it, I came into money
and then you decided you wanted only me.
Seems all you needed was that one little shove.
Now I'm not stupid; I knew the score.
But when you started calling me a whore
after I was the one paying all the bills!
The love is gone. I don't care anymore.
It felt good to be able to show you the door.
And no, I'm not putting you in my will!

Monocrostic (Birthday of Evajane C. Rojo)
Cinderella had fun at the ball
with her Prince charming, handsome and tall.
It got late and she would
run home fast as she could-
but one slipper fell off in a fall.
The Prince found it and let people know
he must find Cinderella, although
her glass shoe needs to fit-
those that don't, he'll omit.
The contenders did soon come and go.
Not one woman could match the small size.
Surely most of them did agonize!
But her mean stepsisters
chose to be enlisters
made a plan for large feet to disguise!
They then cut off some toes and the heel
disregarding the pain they would feel
planned to fool the Prince who
placed one shoe and withdrew!
As blood flowed, he collapsed with a squeal!
Cinderella forgave them for this-
took them under her wing with some bliss.
Found them men to soon wed.
At the wedding, instead-
pigeons plucked their eyes out with a hiss!
The cupboards were bare.
The stepmother said,
“There’s not enough.
Leave them instead.”
Into the woods
with crusts of bread,
they were left to starve
or end up dead.
The world was cruel,
the fire cold.
But children learn
to grow up bold.
The witch was hunger
in disguise.
They saw the truth
behind her eyes.
They lit the fire.
They found a way.
Two kids came back—
but not the same.
Golly, gee willikers, gee whiz
My punch lines have lost all their fizz ~
Where has that fizz gone
It’s missing since dawn ~
Critics say: ‘Tis what ‘tis what ‘tis
The serpent hissed,
on the first day of school,
looking around to find a group to poison
a group to fool.
It's slitted eyes wandered around
searching and searching.
at last the serpent found,
the fools laughing and smiling.
The serpent went,
its black heart beating with eagerness
the smell of innocence. it was addicting.
The fools invited the serpent with open arms
unknowing of the doom that awaited.
Thus, the damage begun,
gossip spread like wildfire
'did you hear? the fools did... how ridiculous!'
The serpent drank it all in. like ambrosia
The fools had been fooled.
The serpent went home, delighted by the turns of event.
It was night,when the fools came
painted red with revenge
for the first time ever, the serpent felt...scared
the serpent backed away, all while hissing
The fools smiles turned haunting
The serpent went missing
and the fools waited,
for another serpent to come hissing
