i know i'm not gorgeous like he is. my eyes are brown, sometimes hazelish, but rarely. not beautiful and blue like his. my smile looks awkward and that's why i always try to hide it; his is like a flash of white, contagious, really. my hair is boring compared to his. he's polished, well-groomed. smaller than i am, and neater. more comfortable with ( Read more... ) -
rain.
dear rain,
no matter how good an umbrella i carry, and no matter how short the time i'm outside is, you always mention to drench me. and i mean drench: we're talking full saturation of shoes and bottoms of my jeans, which of course makes me feel unbelievably uncomfortable. rain, because of you, i walked halfway to class and turned back around ( Read more... ) -

The sun, whose rays are all ablaze with ever-living glory,
does not deny his majesty--he scorns to tell a story!

time for change.
1. Pick your birth month.
2. Strike out anything that doesn't apply to you.

softly stirred in mid-morning
i listen to the pouring
the tiny beads of glass
slip down the window so fast
