Ever spinning celestial bodies look down on us from above
Curating our precious numbered days and sleepless nights
Life too short to waste on performing for the sake of others
Indeed, you agree with those saying ‘this event marks the end’
Pretended not to exist, like sunlight covered by the brief dark
Selene, the moon passes on. Helios is free; warmth, life returns
Eclipses, as the untrue you, must soon pass to reveal the light.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
