"We are not given a good life
or a bad life.
We are given a life.
It's up to us
to make it good or bad"
How many times have we heard this or read this ?!
It is in our hands
to make our lives good or bad,
happy or sad.
Today,
we have so many opportunities
and there are so many ways
to change our lives
for the better.
We need the Courage to just 'do it!'
We may not have
the life we wanted
when we were younger,
but counting our blessings every single day
will keep our minds on a much higher plane (as it were),
giving us that determination to
keep our lives Strong and Happy.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Timothy
My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?
