Today was a good day, although a bit strange. I compared notes with a friend of mine, B, about life in this country. I told him that he missed out on some good times back in the past. He shrugged and said that he only regrets never learning swear words. I said that if my parents weren't such pricks about cussing, I would have taught him so new ones. He only laughed and pointed out that his accent is too terrible and that he shouldn't attempt. I agreed, hiding my own hideous accent. Life changes everything, even my tone of voice.



My cold eyed winter comes again

with gusts of unforgiving wind

with bill board smiles from afar.

It comes for warmth of life to claim,

The splinter's bitterness in words.

Oh how it chills the darkest nights

and like a phantom corners stalks

my cold eyed seamstress of white snow.

Ice towers, blocking path to light,

it fools with rainbows that we're happy

that I am full in its dark clutch

that I know nothing but its touch.

No more! No more I say! Don't dabble!

This winter will not chill my flame

No running, but embrace the fiend

and burn it with my love and hatred.

No more of gloom. No more of quiet.

Farewell the queen of broke hearts.

Hello my darling youthful spring.
