I wonder what sees in me
Something that I still can’t see
A bright and charming, somewhat shy,
Introverted kind of guy?
I wonder why she always prays
For bright and sunny summer days
When all I want is cold and rain
A winter, bleak, and full of pain
I wonder why she always dreams
Of what this thing we [...]]]></description>

Inside your head and all through your mind
There’s a broken dream that you left behind
It comes in and goes out, but it never leaves
You hide and you struggle, you suffer and grieve
Face to face, but you’re looking away
Pretending it’s night when it’s damn well the day
Refusing to go back because [...]]]></description>

Darkness sets in and clouds fill the sky
The evening waits patiently, life passes by
Off in the distance, she stands in a dress
She bears not a smile, her hair is a mess
Timid and restless with nowhere to turn
There&#8217;s so much to see and so much to learn
Go to her.  Go! [...]]]></description>

No carols, no bells
No cookies and tea
No ornaments hanging, not even a tree
There won&#8217;t be presents
There won&#8217;t be lights
There won&#8217;t be silly snowball fights
No Santa, no sleds
Not a single reindeer
No mistletoe hanging within a mile of here
No getting up early
No kids to be found
No toys, no laughing, not one cheerful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the beginning of the month, my snack drawer inspired me to write a Haiku about a lonely ramen. Now, my snack drawer is empty and, once again, I have been inspired:
An empty drawer
No more snacks for me to eat
Wish I had ramen
One day, my greatness will be recognized.

I may not be the perfect guy
But you&#8217;re the perfect girl
You may believe I&#8217;ve lost my mind
But I&#8217;ll give you the world
I never was that good with gifts
There&#8217;s some things that I lack
But everyday I think of you
It helps me stay on track
The times that I think giving up
Is something [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My desk at work has a snack drawer.  Oftentimes I sit there with it open, gazing at the helpless snacks just waiting to be consumed.  And then I think, I should write a haiku about them.  And so it was.  A colorful haiku about those oh, so tasty ramen noodles:

I&#8217;m sorry for the things I said
I&#8217;m sorry for the things you read
I&#8217;m sorry for the times I lied
I&#8217;m sorry for the times you cried
I&#8217;m sorry for the things I thought
I&#8217;m sorry for the things I bought
I&#8217;m sorry for the times I screamed
I&#8217;m sorry for the times I dreamed
I&#8217;m sorry [...]]]></description>

Asleep alone, she lays in bed
Wrapped in covers—toe to head
Gentle skin and long blond hair
Sparkling glitter everywhere
A glowing star, she shines so bright
So peaceful in the quiet night
She dreams of dreams I&#8217;ll never know
&#8230;envisions worlds I&#8217;ll never go
And come the morning, she will rise
Adventure pouring from her eyes
So bright and [...]]]></description>

Feelings of passion explode into tears
All hopes for the future are now empty years
A lack of direction and no aspiration
Stuck in this world, engulfed in frustration
Facing a dream that&#8217;s too real to be fake
But scared to admit it, and shy to partake
Their shallow beliefs and conception of love
Contradict all the [...]]]></description>
