A Freestyle Piece: Do You Know Lust? - 10/18/10

‎"Do you know lust? The feeling of never properly dealing with needing sexual healing because of a glass ceiling imposed by your desires? The fires of passion burn brightly; and as one yearns mightily, restraint yields to satisfaction. The actions justify the traction lost in deception...slipping through lies to slip through thighs with no contraception. Discord is sewn, yet you reap an internal discord of your own."

A Freestyle Piece: What Makes Me A Man - 10/18/10

"I am not a man by virility, but by responsibility. Gentility stretches farther than my penis ever could, and will generate the respect that sex never would. Good men see the strength in kindness, the power in restraint; the fortitude of ethics, and the effects of character on the pictures we paint. Peer perception means nothing next to clear reception of intents, which makes an impression that intelligence indents."

A Freestyle Piece: How It Looks From Here - 9/30/10

"Everywhere I turn, women yearn for the burn of playing with fire; when will they learn? So concerned with avoiding pain, they end up devoid of gain in a void of shame for dating more of the same. More of the rain falls; puddles of tears become lakes of fears, deepened by recollections of rejections over the years. Dejection veers down the path of pessimism, where people face trials just to miss the lessons in them."

A Brief Philosophy: The Truth About Puppy Love - 9/30/10

‎"Be not a victim of attraction borne out of a desire for affection/attention; that creates 'puppy'/'blind' love, one that sees no wrong even when it's overt. Despite knowing right from wrong, that desire engenders naivete, the most unintentionally potent skewer of judgment. Nothing will be as it seems; rose-colored glasses will prevent you from seeing someone's true colors, until reality's vibrance shatters them."

A Brief Philosophy: A Great Lover Is A Craftsman - 9/30/10

"Much like with constructing an edifice, when building a love, the true problem with setbacks is not the halting of progress, but the effort being put into returning to where you were before. Structural integrity can be damaged when small problems are detected; they must be rectified before progress continues. Quality requires attention to detail; a great lover is a craftsman, creating new and better ways to build."

A Freestyle Piece: How The Friend Zone Feels - 9/30/10

‎"You're so afraid of falling that you look down at your feet instead of what's in front of you; when I'm no longer standing here, what are you gonna do? Need I remind you that I've been beside and behind you? I find you to be amazing and I thank you for raising my standards, but I've been here too long. You long for affection yet you're afraid to receive it; you found a good one but you're too hurt to believe it."

A Bedtime Story - 9/30/10 (originally written on 9/24/10)

There once was a lamb named Pam.
Pam loved a lamb named Sam.
They frolicked and giggled,
Eating peaches and pickles,
Until they heard a loud bam.

The sound left them scared.
Apprehension was shared.
They looked around,
Heard another sound,
Then Sam got prepared.

He was ready to fight for his lady.
The one he wanted to carry his baby.
Sam then saw a person,
His anxiety worsened,
He knew humans could be crazy.

Pam ran near the human and shouted with glee.
Sam didn't know what was going on and went to go see.
The human felled a fruit tree for its wood,
Telling Pam and Sam to eat all they could,
And that a family is what they should be.

The human decided to help Pam and Sam.
He helped them birth a healthy little lamb.
As the baby would grow,
The human would show,
That animals can peacefully coexist with man.

The end.
