Lost in Passion, Starved for Love
We chase the thrill, but love slips away. A thousand kisses, yet hearts remain empty. When did passion replace something real?
Too Many Lovers, Not Enough Love
So many hands that gently trace,
Yet hearts remain in empty space.
Soft embraces, fleeting touch,
Yet never holding on to much.
Smiles exchanged but none sincere,
Whispers spoken, lost to fear.
Promises made like lines in sand,
Washed away by careless hands.
Eyes that glimmer, yet they stray,
Seeking love but looking away.
A thousand lips, a hundred names,
Yet love feels like a losing game.
Letters sealed but never sent,
Moments lived but not well spent.
Fires ignited, burned too fast,
Nothing real is made to last.
Hearts left guarded, locked inside,
Afraid to love, afraid to try.
Too many lovers, fleeting and blind,
Yet love itself is hard to find.
So here we stand, the night turns cold,
Stories brief, yet never told.
The passion fades, the echoes cry—
Why does love just pass us by?
Too many lovers, not enough love.

It might as well be a hundred.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
