What's Our Hurry?
Love, lust or bitter revenge, empty release between casual friends, Such myriad means to a singular end ~ Or beginning; for the few and the lucky.

Her Shoes. Content Warning.
Spiky footfalls ring loudly Conspicuous Unmistakable They echo in the hollow concrete chasm A modern anthem of absurdist ideals; A self-imposed handicap, Underscoring her vulnerability Three million souls in this seven mile city, and where are they now? Not on this long tall stretch of dark, Unless, perhaps, they're all hiding… A nervous laugh at the silly notion And yet; she surely feels their groping eyes Weightless yet invasive The chill breeze lifts her hair, her hem, her heart rate Adrenaline is the purest, cleanest high Why else the two hour wait for the two minute ride At Magic Mountain, Busch Gardens She recalls his face, so beautiful in the gloaming Eyes lit with vicious good humor and beer “I can fuck up your hair for free; Ride through, No waiting Her stomach dropped as she floated up, up They left his credit card at the bar Out of the darkness onto Market Ambient laughter Her bus unloading The spell is broken Like her heart But she lives to fight another day

Mother's poem
You are my sky. you are the light in my darkness And God has also created you for this reason Because you feel his presence. My life starts with you and ends with you only. You are not just my mother, you are my soul.

The Symphony Of Creation
In the beginning, there was nothing but an infinite void, a canvas waiting for the brushstroke of existence. Within this emptiness, there stirred an essence, a spark yearning to ignite the symphony of creation. This essence, the primordial force, danced in the silence, shaping itself into the very fabric of reality.

Ink and Light: Capturing the Essence of Manga and Anime
In panels black and white, a world takes flight, A tapestry of stories, bathed in vibrant light. Manga's whispers, anime's roar, A fusion of emotions, wanting evermore. Eyes wide with wonder, hearts that fiercely beat, Heroes rise to challenges, a villain they will meet. Friendship's golden thread, a bond that can't be frayed, Through laughter, tears, and battles, courage is displayed. Giant robots clash, swords sing their deadly song, Magical girls transform, where right battles wrong. School days filled with sunshine, and lessons yet to learn, Love blossoms in a blush, a future yet to yearn. Food so real it tempts you, landscapes make you sigh, Creatures fantastical, beneath a boundless sky. From cyberpunk cityscapes to serene countryside, Each frame a portal open, where dreams can reside. The underdog prevails, the power of belief, Lessons whispered softly, bringing solace and relief. Lessons of perseverance, the will to never quit, The strength within us all, a burning, brilliant wit. But manga and anime offer more than just a thrill, They paint a human portrait, with all its depth and skill. Flawed characters we cherish, their journeys we embrace, In victory and failure, we see a mirrored face. The weight of loss, the sting of a broken vow, The journey of self-discovery, the ever-present "how?" They challenge societal norms, the boxes we create, And celebrate the beauty of what makes us irreplaceable. With humor that ignites, and tears that freely fall, They capture every nuance, the greatest and the small. A shared experience, a global conversation, Breaking down barriers, a beautiful creation. So dive into the pages, let the animation flow, In this world of wonder, where imagination can grow. For manga and anime, a passion that takes hold, A universe of stories, waiting to unfold. Start writing...
