Was This Forever?

"Do you know? Have you seen?
I'm incomplete. Where have you been?
What role do I have? I may not last a scene,
In this romance or tragedy, it may be.

How much time does a man
Take to forget another?
Maybe weeks, maybe months,
maybe neither, till forever.

have you seen? Or even looked?
At my heart aching so for you?"
Said the seventeen-year-old,
To his one true love.

The girl stood there, shy.
With red cheeks and dimples.
She put out her hand and whispered
"Take it and let go never."

The boy kissed her
And smiled before saying
"I'll be at your side and bed,
Holding you till forever."

The seventy-year-old lady
Was startled from her daydream
By the sounds of prayer and weeping
And people mourning someone's death.

She sat there, in a quiet corner
A tear rolled down her red cheek
And dimple as it fell.
She turned to her dead man,
"Was this forever?" She whispered.

Wait... What did you just think?

Put your thinking caps on! Let's travel a few years (I mean, a lot of years!) into the future. You walk out of your house, breathing in the aroma of freshly cut grass in the morning. You happen to see this girl jogging down the lane. Naturally, every boy's first thought (I repeat, just think!) "Woah, she's hot!". The girl stops jogging, turns to you, comes up and *bam* slaps you right in the face! Wait, what? That's impossible!  Yeah, it is.. Or is it? Just imagine, every person having the ability to read minds. Kinda creepy! We wouldn't be able to live like we did, we wouldn't be able to think like we did, we won't be able to set our imagination free! But on the fun side, you wouldn't have to whisper to someone; just think about what you want to tell them and Voila! But just imagine your family knowing about all your dirty thoughts, imagine your wife knowing about your fantasy with that woman from work and most importantly, imagi

The Red Rose

The meadows uptown borne a single plant That longed to grow a flower. When to all others, God did grant, That single plant never flowered. He looked at the others and said to himself "Maybe I was supposed to end up this way". And withered turned his heart with him The once green leaves turned to look like hay. But one morning, the plant woke up to see A bud in his hand, his leaves all green. He knew not what it'd turn out to be Nor did he know his joy would cease. The bright red, the beauty best Woke the plant the next day. For the bud in his hand turned the rest To a shame, a red rose she'd turned A red, oh so red, lovely rose. The truth of life nor the pain of dead He knew not of anyone of these devils. He said "I have her in my hand And forever I will keep her in my fable." Days went by and months rolled along The lovely pair seemed not to worry about the time go by. The rumbling of death not away long Was nothing to be be afraid o

How did January become January?

Ever look at the calendar and wondered " What on earth are the meanings of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November or December? " No? Okay, I did though! And thanks to the vast oceans of the internet, I've found the   real meanings of these month-names.  First of all, FUN FACT: January wasn't actually the first month of the year! In the system of the ancient Romans, the year began in March and ended in February. March Mars, the Roman God of War The ancient Romans insisted that all wars should stop during the time of celebration between the old and new years(What a fun time, it would have been!). Since March was the first month of the new year in ancient Rome, some historians believe the Romans named March after Mars, the Roman god of war (Get it? March, Mars... No? Me too.) April Aphrodite, Goddess of Beauty (DeviantArt) Three theories exist regarding the origin of April's name. Some say
