Collected Poems, Haikus and A Riddle!

This is some of the work from over the years that I've parsed through and felt like sharing with you.

Collected Poems, Haikus and A Riddle!
High Resolution Textures

The Haikus are closest to the top and the longer poems are further down.

Lights:

Shinning quiet light

Blinding in its modesty

Destroys the darkness.

Destruction:

Annihilation comes.

All creatures will bow before

Destruction can save.

Choice:

The great illusion

Of the middle and of time.

Both real and unreal.

Illusions:

Are they tricks and lies

or swift truths too quick to see.

Not honest or false.

Abide:

To not abide by

The way of other people

Is to forge your path.

Respect:

Respect, look back.

To return to look upon

Others through yourself.

Heaven:

It exists on earth.

Residing still within us

Permeates through all.

Solatium:

Empathy removed.

Solatium replaces.

Unable to fill.

Human Element:

Human element

Stays unquantifiable

Yet connects us all.

Devil:

The duality

Of Him who created all.

Human perception.

Transitions:

Chopped trees bring new life.

Elemental life reborn,

Short perspective long.

Airplane:

Big fart canister.

Flies through the air dropping shit.

Attempt not to breathe.

Riddle:

A thick wooden house

Will open for those who knock

upon gambrel roofs.

Front Window:

A Child’s head, barely reaching above, watches time from the front window of the train, first ahead, then within, then gone. The child is more aware of time now than he ever has been or will be. He is aware that time is simply movement, and without movement, time ceases.

Dreams:

Dreams litter city streets like the glass of broken hearts, slicing through soles of those who dare to walk undefended as themselves. Our dreams leave by tired feet that ooze crimson through cracked concrete; the gluttonous gutters gobbling what we could be in exchange for what we are. It is a sinister revenge that we are made to walk upon the bodies of old dreams, but we are better for it too as pain makes the memory of our dreams stick.


Puns:

There is no courage without rage.

There are no friendships without end.

There is no father without her.

There is no harmony without harm.

One can never understand anything by looking down upon it.

Peace always has small beginnings.

Art is the heart of the earth,

Every brother is an other.

There is no religion without a region.

Knowledge can only exist on the edge of now.

Information is form yet uncreated.

Time is the distance between me and it.


Generation:

We are the generation of hidden virtue,

More people and history than ever to look through

So be grateful when credit finds you.

Backseat driving never looked so easy-

From the front seat.

We’ve been given responsibility and not the wheel.

How the fuck do you think we’re supposed to feel.

But it’s alright.

You’re not the first people to keep the wheel till first sight of the cliff

Then panic and bail.

Good thing off the cliff is the best way to sail.

So keep your hand off the wheel and your eye in the sky

And wave the broken path you left us goodbye.


Father:

To be a father you gotta make her fat.

Too many men just wanna tear half

No thinking she might get torn in half

Then get upset cause she wanna take her half.

Of course she’s the better half,

How else you think this inequality could last?

Change comes either way.

How can we still not afford equal pay?

How can we listen with spite at what others say?

The daylight shines upon all things in*equality.

*What a tremendous amount of difference a little space can be.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
