scattered thoughts (pensieri sparsi)
Only small thoughts... Solo piccoli pensieri...
il mio respiro per correre (my breath to run)
Ci sono speranze che, come i miti, indugiano nelle storie di coloro che li contemplano, e verità che tolgono il respiro alla speranza. Ieri ho sperato che avrebbe smesso di piovere, ma senza la pioggia non avrei visto l'arcobaleno. Così ho trovato il

love is truly a fragile yet special gift gave to all of us, by God himself placed deep with in our hearts, and when we find the one true person who was placed on
the guardians of our lost souls
I was touched by the sad plights of our young souls caught in the abyss of prostitution. I was reading Jeffrey Epstein and the many victims of his evil deeds. It breaks my heart. I titled it to signify the lies they promise to the victims and families when their first approach them. I've seen a grim documentary presented by Demi Moore about their recruiting strategy in Asia especially Nepal, Philippines, etc. Very sad. Thanks all for your reads and comments if any.

This is from a story of mine involving a Spartan who interacts with the world outside New Sparta, and though he realized that he is more than what he seems, he still keeps to what he always was.
ALTERED EGO
This poem was inspired by the fairy tale mirror mirror on the wall... I thought mirror mirror on the ceiling would be a nice adult Twist. This was part of a project where we were decorating mirrors... My full length mirror was decorated fit for Freddie Mercury... and was exhibited at the Alley Theatre Strabane.
Oh My Love,Where are you

NOT THE PERFECT WOMAN
2/18/2020: Beware! There is a troll loose in the the CS poetry section. Reading all the guys profiles, it seems like that they all want a wonder woman who likes to do all the things they like to do (guy things)and she needs to look like a supermodel to boot. Oh well - I must admit we women too fantasize on our perfect man - but if the chemistry is there - I believe the chemistry is what makes the person perfect in OUR eyes. However, people can be false and leer you in with that chemistry and you don't realize it until it's too late.
you
I believe you are there, Somewhere in the endless air, A presence felt but never seen, A whisper in the silent dream. You are the gentle touch of breeze, That rustles through the autumn trees, The warmth of sun upon my face, A reminder of yo

Something I began writing last year but as I tend to do, I got side-tracked and didn't finish. It is now done. Written with no offence to anyone and if you have taken offence, chances are you've missed the point.

This is a poetical stand for those people who have taken their own lives in Ireland this year. If Ireland’s suicide rate keeps going at the same pace. Ireland will lose over 2000 people by the end of the year. Please don’t let happen. Make our government stand up and take notice of this epidemic before it is too late.
