The Giving Tree
How fruitful and generous is the giving tree? It illustrates how complicated life can be, beginning at its base where roots emerge becoming branches, that sprout leaves of uncertainty, risks and chances, trust is iffy branches break, leaves descend, the only constants are the roots, they'll see you through until the end, metaphorically teaching the rules of existence, caring too much may make you indifferent, to the real, people will enter with intent that only time will reveal, leaving lasting impressions, some harmful but you'll heal, even at your worst when it seems you cant deal, those...

Lost & Found
Im not really into my time being wasted, Nor do i tolerate being considered basic, i have qualities that surpass the idea of being normal, Sure im cute dressed up but i prefer to be informal, sure I love hip-hop but I prefer to be eclectic, I indulge in all genres, to me music is electric, Of course i like attention your typical hearts and flowers, but i prefer conversation that keeps me for hours, Its important to me to see past my pretty face, beyond my physicality, that's not what makes me great, looks always change at the end of the day, that's why i choose not to put myself on display,...

Remembering Love
As gentle and endearing as a forehead kiss,
intertwined with your limbs is where i find bliss.
Consoled by the warmth of your embrace,
as i save to memory the curvatures of your face.
With precision your teeth remove my denim,
your lips caress my skin to find the treasure within them.
Connected by pulses matching our heartbeats repeating,
no other sounds are heard but the rhythm of our breathing.
Electricity resonates as we exchange glances,
feeling just how powerful and rare our romance is.
Our bodies are a roadmap of joys to discover, ...

Curious are the ties that bind courage with dreams,
placing imagination before fact or so it would seem.
Hard to believe that ideas can manifest new heights,
new paths to find your wings and prepare for flight.
Into the blue of night in search of daybreaks yellow hue,
warding off shades of grey preferring the white clouds humbling view.
Opportunity knocks within every waking moment,
though their will be locked doors through each component.
Adversity can offset progressions forward motion,
if your mindset remains closed it may leave your character...

Waves
To explain a feeling, you must first read emotions,
because words won't always tell you what the mind is holding.
But the eyes are a mirror to the soul of a person,
a second glance might reveal that they are truly hurting.
Concerning themselves with others instead of personal improvement,
some can bounce back from pain but others tend to lose it.
So take a little extra time to really see beyond what your shown,
it may save a life, no one should feel alone.
But they do, we are human so signs go unnoticed,
triggers will be missed, clarity out of...

The Giving Tree
How fruitful and generous is the giving tree?
It illustrates how complicated life can be.
Beginning at its base where roots emerge becoming branches,
that sprout leaves of uncertainty, risks and chances.
Trust is iffy branches break, leaves descend,
the only constants are the roots, they'll see you through until the end.
Metaphorically teaching the rules of existence,
caring too much may make you indifferent, to the real.
People will enter with intent that only time will reveal,
leaving lasting impressions, some harmful but you'll heal.
