It was the kind of smile that could have meant anything, or more likely, nothing at all, that ingenious smile that she had. The ability to manipulate the people around her came easily. She had a spark in her eyes that could break anyone’s attention. The more you stare into her brown eyes, the deeper you fall into her world. You’ll see her as if she glows, lit from within. Everyone likes her; we all do. The worst part is, I’m in love with her, loved her as fully as a man could.
Going Mellow
Twilights
A romantic affinity, lost in sheer futility,
Deceived by her outer beauty.
My noble chivalry struggles,
Like a strange, consuming illness.
Trapped in a void of time and space,
Feeling love race through the confusion.
Repentance and guilt show up too late
Caught in the twilight, he took the bait.
Audacity
Her brazen audacity strikes without warning,
Piercing my weeping, theatrical, poison-laced words
A senseless, fragile attempt at healing each day,
Drifting helplessly toward darkness and despair.
I buried my grief beneath the surface,
Feigning every dramatic emotion for the world,
Wearing hollow smiles of defiance and regret
Armor forged from bitter reflexes.
You carved a false eternity into my soul,
But at last, I have awakened from the nightmare.
Success is not about
Success is not about money, fame, gadgets or number of passport stamps. It’s about being humble enough to appreciate everything and everyone.
Don’t push your luck
Do not push your luck. It is beyond your control. Instead, think carefully about every decision you make and be responsible for it. Whenever you fail, learn from it. If a decision turns out well, do not credit luck. It is all about you being wise enough.
Big opportunity
Do not wait for your big opportunity. It will come in God’s time. Instead, do everything within your power to be ready and to maximize that opportunity when it arrives.
Kill ‘em
Unleash the beast within!
Let their howls echo through the night!
Today, vengeance strikes hard
Today, dark justice is served!
Strike them down without mercy,
Crush all who stand in defense!
Leave no survivors in our wake
Teach them the meaning of terror!
Let them taste true fear!
Terrify them, break their spirits,
Devour their pride, and strip away their hope!
We march with lethal intent
Annihilate them all! Leave none standing!
Overthrow every foe in our path!
Today, victory belongs to us!
Raise the flag high!
Together, we claim the night!
Calling her
She lies gently on my shoulder,
Playful and soft in her grace.
Her perfume dances in the quiet air,
Her hair cascading down her face.
I listen to her gentle breathing,
Sensing her skin pressed against my own,
Anchored by her warmth and weight.
Resting there, she looks like an angel;
I wish this stillness would never break.
Yet I freeze, afraid she might hear
My heartbeat softly whispering her name.
Like a fool
Deceived by the beauty of innocence,
Yearning for your love,
Even as you betray his unconditional devotion.
He waits patiently with open arms.
Breaking down, he bears his disgrace,
Losing his mind throughout the process,
Wandering through space and time,
Far away, yet holding his ground.
He asks forgiveness for himself
Giving up is not an option, nor is defeat.
Pushed aside by the one he loved the most,
He cannot learn from his past mistakes.
Ironically, he insists on his feelings,
Like a fool who cannot understand his own fate.
