Oh my love  My Sisyphus  Content to struggle up the crag  To feel the ache of limbs  Limbs extended in one effort  Toward an endless goal  Such bliss  To stand at attention  Wind smoothing the wildness of your hair  Having sown your oats righteously so  Knowing  Down and up you shall go  My envy reaches out to you  Like the dove you are  Returning  Having found the twigOh my Sisyphus  How can I tell you  That I cannot sta...

Margo sat huddled in the dark basement. Upstairs, she heard the "click" of the back-door opening - opening in a sneaky sinister sort of a way. That door was supposed to be locked! Margo thought, her heart racing. How did he get in so easily? Wow, this is creepy! I feel like I'm in some kind of horror movie. How did I get to be in this situation, anyway? But Margo already knew the answer to that question. The reason she wa...

I am here for so many hours in a day, Why don't you reach out in some kind of way.A phone call or a text seem rather nice,You seem rather cold, your mood like ice.I am always doing nice things for you,I'm starting to get sad again and feeling blue.I know you are busy with your job,You come across like a total snob.I have feelings and often feel sad,I'm at my boiling point and now I am mad.I feel you feel very comfortable...

I wish I were born in simpler timesWhen marriage was forever A time when people fixed what was brokenInstead of throwing it awayWe live in a worldOf instant gratificationFollowing desires and wantsLosing loyalty and faith We live in a world Where it takes multiple peopleTo satisfy our needsAnd your marriage is the last thing you focus onWork, kids, freedomBills, friends, All more importantI am a hopeless romanticI believe...

On 29 November 2013, I got a phone call from a former coursemate of mine asking me whether I had received any news on the accident of a friend and former coursemate Abdulrahman, which at that time I had no knowledge of. I immediately called my friend's phone number but a voice told me his number was switched off. I was still in a state of shock, fear and despair when I placed a call to his younger sister, who confirmed th...

I jumped off the cart, unhitched my horse and stormed right into the forest. I wanted to get lost in the thicket and run free from all the burdens of my life. I wanted to run and keep running as far, as my feet could possibly take me, but I could not run the reason was in the wagon directly behind me. "Brook, wait!" Maple called desperately. Finnick caught my expression and stopped her. He caught sight of my expression, a...

I had assumed that I was the only person in the office at that early hour, but clearly someone was nearby as I bent over to retrieve the files I had just managed to spill all over the floor. Perhaps it was a burglar, or a homeless squatter. Whoever it was, they were clearly and curiously tearing bed sheets apart. I stood to begin an investigation into the loud noise, and suddenly felt a breeze caressing my ass. No, it was...

(3/8/13) The angels gathered in heaven to witness our wedding day For this was a match made in heaven as they came together to pray Long before our births-GOD had made this plan And he had all the angels give a helping hand. Both of us was born with a half filled heart For the other half “was completely torn apart”. He showed us the aches and pains of how love can be But little did we know- it was part of our destiny. We...

Nobody said it would be easy. She just didn’t expect it’d be this hard. The clock ticks the hours, the minutes, the seconds, and with each passing minute of daylight, she sighs deeply and braces for the screams. Her husband’s arrival carries with it simultaneous relief and anguish for she knows he, too, fears the minutes, the hours, the untold time that will pass tonight, and the screams that will ensue. She smiles at her...

Once there was a beautiful princess named Ijlal. She had hair the color of dates, and eyes as blue as the sea, eyes that were so captivating she had thousands of suitors falling at her feet every day. She had the most renowned kings and princes begging for her hand, she was the envy of all women, near and far. But it was not enough for her. She was always bored, constantly seeking ways to entertain herself, she never stop...

I have been married for 42 years. I discovered after getting married that you never really know your in-laws until then. My wife and I went to school together, grammar school and high school. I got pulled from the normal junior high school and put in an accelerated program for gifted students. Little did they know what gifted was. We met when I was sent to high school in a gifted program there too. Through high school I d...

I don't watch much TV these days, it keeps reminding me that it's partly my fault our country is in such a mess. I'm not spending enough money to fuel our economy and when I do spend my only reward is a warning to save more to finance my old age. The newsreader says I'm using far too much electricity, oil and water, I also eat the wrong things and drink far too much alcohol in the evenings. I'm so useless I can't even dis...

I generally do not like massages. There is something about a fully clothed stranger touching me while naked that resonates weird in my mind. It brings to mind the clinical setting of my doctor’s office instead of a relaxing environment. Masseuses also ask awkward questions; “What do you like?” and “What do you want me to work on?” in a coy manner. These inquiries remind me of the strip club venue, being awkward but withou...
