Pot of Gold

By -
You define beauty, my belle
You are my childhood rainbow
And the shining pot of gold

You've been my rock and pillow
You've been my sugar, my pepper
You're my dream and reality

You give me swag and poise
You give me strength, my core
Like Red Bull, you give me wings

You are the life of my life
My cry baby, my screamer-thug
My drama queen, my queen

You are the cruise, my cruise
You are the whimsical course I chart
You are my voyage and treasure

And above all of these
You are the rhyme in my little rhymes
Happy Valentine's day ♥

Death by Hope

By -
Don't get carried away with her beauty, life is awesomely crafted to weary us all out. ~Diipo How we die slow, by slowly but surely hoping  That that which we hope for shall surely come to be While we truly are only living and dieing slowly And as the days go by; we hope on one hand And on the other, life is busy secretly but surely Wearying our bodies towards a sure death.
