So Hot You’re Cool

The fan blades stir
the murky air
but can’t inter
my small despair
The ice cubes clink
in my cool drink
as I get by

Stories of Life

I’m a bit part
in your story
Some background art
for your glory
As you in mine
In life’s design
each are their star

You shouldn’t be 
someone you're not
— a fantasy
that other’s plot
For pride thereof
as love is love
be true to you
