52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Week 13, Green Tea

"We Are Young"
(Fun feat. Janelle MonĂ¡e)

Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The moon is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Week 12, St. Patrick's Blue

Dear Lord,
Give me a few friends
who will love me for what I am,
and keep ever burning
before my vagrant steps
the kindly light of hope...
And though I come not within sight
of the castle of my dreams,
teach me to be thankful for life,
and for time's olden memories
that are good and sweet.
And may the evening's twilight
find me gentle still.

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Week 11. Aquamarine

It’s My Birthday

Shit!

Another year – a terse reminder.

Shit!

Another tear; I need a blinder –
Blur the brain of time
And unrelenting age.

O! to be a hero: honed, a sage of life;
Not an ever-ancient me,
Ticking over on a mug of pills,
Holidaying at the ward
(Drowning in a sea of stagnant piss) .

So rest assured, unless I’m cured of
Groaning limbs, a crumbling back and
Fading mind,
Whims of being young again are crass,
And show me blind.

So sod off! and leave me here alone
To face another birthday.

Shit!

Shit!
On March 11 I will be 37 years old and as I look back and reflect I come to realize though life is hard and full of pitfalls I am overall a happier person today than I was 10 or 20 years ago. I have amazing friends, a beautiful daughter and the love of a good man. I mean really, what more is there than those things?

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Week 10, Avocado

I AM AN AVOCADO

Through forty-seven years
I have remained green;
Though my skin
is tough and wrinkled
it wears a sheen and luster
that bears the hues of
resilience and change

My fleshy substance puzzles:
Am I savory or sweet?
Delicious or nondescript?
And with or without texture?

But the stone
at my center
is massive;
the heart of me
is huge
and impenetrable -
out of all proportion
to my fruit

And what is it
that comes from there?
What legacy will remain?

I must take care
what seeds I sow
for whatever comes from
this heart's core
will reproduce
the same
after its kind

And others will reap
the fruit
of my harvest

Let me leave
no bitter taste;
Better sweet avocado
than acid bitter Aloes

52 Weeks of Color Challenge - Week 9, Dandelion

Wishing for Dandelions
Dandelions have powers
but some may not know,
You make a wish to the them
when they turn white as snow.
You tell them your wishes one by one
and then at them you blow,
You watch the seeds fly through the air
and watch your wishes flow.
So now I wish to the dandelions,
I'll name them one by one,
And then I'll take a blow at them
as soon as I am done.
A wish to be eight again
as carefree as eight comes,
So that life isn't a battlefield
like it's already become.
I wish I was with him again
like I was once before,
I wish I'd see his face again
knocking at the door.
I wish my Dad was in my life again
like he was when I was three,
Now I see him twice a month
and he can barely see me.
I wish I was more beautiful
to the naked eye,
I wish that the critics would just realize
all I can do is cry.
I wish I was closer
to my younger sister and brother
But they live with my dad
and have a different mother.
I wish I could know ahead of time
what my future life will be,
So I make no mistakes ahead of time
and not be a different me.
To the dandelions
do I now let my wishes go,
and hoping they'll be granted
on the day that they do flow.
