Ode To Kim Dracula

Oh dearest Kim,

Your music is magic,

A delight

For my ears,

A light

That’ll last for years.


Your songs are my

Safe haven,

My calm in the storm.


Land of the Sun

Showed me in life,

There is some fun.


Make Me Famous

Proved that I’m not alone

In feeling alone.


Drown

Made me feel better

About shaking off

The toxicity in my life.


Killdozer

Never failed to

Make me smile,

Lyrics I could listen to o...

Combat Boots

Not something to be so passionate

People say


Why do you love the thought of killing people

Others inquire


ā€œYour the baby of the family you have a big heart and you wear it on your sleeve

I can’t see you getting behind and killing someone.ā€ -my mom







Let’s the story straight


I chose to pick up a gun an fight

Not for the pleasure in death


I chose to support the men and women in camo...

Bluetooth Earphones

Sometimes I go

To somewhere only I know

A space for me

Set in place

When I put on

My Bluetooth earphones


The outside audible world

Shut off

Disintegrated

Obliterated

And now it’s my world

Podcasts, music,

Audiobooks

Sometimes even ambients sounds

Like spring streams,

Lapping waves

Or even crowded city centres

But of my choosing

When I want

How I want


Oh my Bluetooth headphones

My inaudibility ...

Ode To My Fan

Internal body temperatures vary like birthmarks.

Mine stays at a thousand degrees, burning my insides, forcing me to turn on my fan in the winter.


My fan stays at my bedside.

I keep him close.

His propeller lulls me to sleep.

His gentle breeze caresses me like an affectionate lover....

Sweatshirts

Wonderfully warm protection

Keeps me warm all winter

Oh, their my obsession

I'd wear one in the hot summer even if I was a sprinter


Colors vary

But my love for them does not

Not a heavy thing to carry

But when it gets hot...


You'll still see me in a sweatshirt

Because why not

Where whatever shirt

Maybe in a tank top when it gets hot


I don't care what you think

Don't judge this heavenly piec...

When I Read A Book… šŸ“š

When I read a book

I feel like I can fly

I love being able to listen, live, look

In the characters lives


When I read a book

I get inspired

Take one quick look

And I’m instantly lifted higher


When I read a book

I cant put it down

Immersed in the scene with Captain Hook

Or in the setting of the little town


It’s an amazing gift

I have been blessed with

To be able to be lifted

Into this world of m...

An Ode To Right-Angles

If there's something that especially pleases me,

It's when the two lines of a triangle make 90 degrees.

Less than that might be called "acute",

But it's the perfect 90 that's really a beaut!


For obtuse angles, I don't have the time,

They're at their worst when they're almost a straight line!

God proves her existence by leaving us clues,

And there's no clue clearer than the hypotenuse.


I hope...

Ode To Coffee

In a mug or styrofoam cup,

In a glass as well,

In ceramic or stainless steel,

Don’t take too long to dwell.


Now pick your additions,

There’s so many that you know:

Sugar, cream,

Cold milk or steamed,

Mocha, syrup, sweet foam.


But did you know there’s more than that?

Wait until I’m done,

Ice cream, honey, butter, mint,

And for the leisure, rum.


Oh let’s not forget the roast! Would you ...

The Clock Keeps His Promise

Ode to the timer

Which others disdain

Your hands move in toil

But never in vain


And ode to the promise

In all that you measure

Your word is your bond

And you are my treasure...

An Ode To Coffee

O humble bean! Fruit of stone,

In the mornings how I groan

Till you waft towards my nose,

Which shall I pick? I do not know!


Mocha, Long Black, Americano?

Turkish, Irish, Cafe Cubano?

Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino?

Decaf, on ice, Frappuccino!


Drink at home or on the go,

With a biscuit or some toast,

Never a time I will say no,

O coffee! How I love you so....
