Selfie-ish

Whenever I ask someone to take a picture of meThey never get the composition rightThey don’t adjust the settings to best suit my features under the given lightingThey don’t capture my full lengthThey don’t capture my smileThe picture is blurryAnd my feet are cut offMy face is distortedAnd my eyes are closed They click the button whenI sneezeI blinkI fallBut not when my eyes are openWhen my smile…

This is a post about how to blog, how to start a blog, how to run a blog, how to be a blogger.

Almost

Disappointment lurks around the corner And it makes me sad Is it my own impatience That drives me mad I wait and wait And then give in Just for a taste But we never begin We never end Because we never were Just floating along Never at the door Never ringing the bell Never holding my hand Just almost Almost Almost Again And again

My River and Me

My River and Me

I’m looking right at you You’re looking at me The tension is high As I draw you in You’re acting so cool Like you don’t need to swim But my river is refreshing And you desperately want a dip The water is calm For now While you’re admiring my allure From over there I invite you to at least dip your toes You stay where you are So nobody knows Meanwhile there’s a fire with my name on…

Just my imagination

It’s just my imagination When I open my eyes and see you next to me Right?  When you text me When you call me When you say my name as if you’re falling There’s nothing really there Right?  It’s just my imagination When you rush to my side when I’m feeling down Right? When you protect me When you uplift me When you say you’ll always be there for me There’s nothing really…
