I only wrote prose before I met you. My musings were superfluous and serious as well. But now the words dance with me. I sing with them and we create poetry.

What did I just find????

So it’s a fun little show of Little shop of horrors, who’s twist is that the actors are drunk, simple obvious and fun. I love little shop and musical theater in general so of course I click on it.

the video has less than 10k views from a channel with less than 800 subscribers. But then I start recognizing people. First it was the guy playing crystal, I don’t watch a lot of smosh but I do recognize him, but I wasn’t completely sure so I looked at the cast list so I could look him up.

And then I realized just how many people I recognized

Grant Anthony O’Brien - Dropout

Daniel Thrasher - large YouTube channel

Rashawn Nadine Scott - Dimension 20

Alex Lewis - Lewberger(his band along with Keith habersberger(try guys) and Hughie stone fish)

Angela Giarrantana and as previously mentioned chanse McCary - Smosh

And looking up the other actors, they also had similar levels of notoriety!!

HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE? WHY ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE I KNOW OF IN IT?? HOW DOES IT HAVE SO FEW VIEWS???WHY IS IT ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSICALS????

I'm not here to grant you the extraordinary love you never had for yourself. I'm here, on my own accord, to love you. So that when you stare into my mirror eyes, you may see how extraordinary you are.

Maybe love at first sight isn’t what we think it is. Maybe it’s recognising a soul we loved in a past life and falling in love with them again.

Reading poetry is like undressing before a bath. You don't undress out of fear that your clothes will become wet. You undress because you want the water to touch you. You want to completely immerse yourself in the feeling of the water and to emerge anew.!!

Today is the first day of the annual wonderful holiday of Diwali ! The beautiful autumn Hindu festival of light! of light over darkness, good over evil, peace over war, friendship over enmity... we need the light now more than ever…

“This is a day of celebration! Today, we are divorcing the past and marrying the present. Dance, and you will find God in every room. Today, we are divorcing resentment and marrying forgiveness. Sing, and God will find you in every tune. Today, we are divorcing indifference and marrying love. Drink, and play that tambourine against your thighs. We have so much celebrating to do!”

Let us remember to always rediscover one another because we are forever changing.

They want us to be afraid.

They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes.

They want us to barricade our doors

and hide our children.

Their aim is to make us fear life itself!

They want us to hate.

They want us to hate 'the other'.

They want us to practice aggression

and perfect antagonism.

Their aim is to divide us all!

They want us to be inhuman.

They want us to throw out our kindness.

They want us to bury our love

and burn our hope.

Their aim is to take all our light!

They think their bricked walls

will separate us.

They think their damned bombs

will defeat us.

They are so ignorant they don’t understand

that my soul and your soul are old friends.

They are so ignorant they don’t understand

that when they cut you I bleed.

They are so ignorant they don’t understand

that we will never be afraid,

we will never hate

and we will never be silent

for life is ours!

I no longer know myself separate from you.

"Even When I Write About This Swan" by Kamand Kojouri

[thepersonalwords]

I write our names on the page.What of it, if the paper will be burned?I write our names in the sand.What of it, if the shore will be washed by waves?I write our names on trees that will be cutand benches that will be painted,but what of it?I will keep on writing our namesbecause in this world of ephemera, You and I are the only constant.

If I can’t be your love,

then let me be a simple brooch

so I may rest a while against your chest.

If I can’t be your love,

then let me be a forgotten coin

so I may rest a while against your thigh.

If I can’t be your love,

then let me be an unlit cigarette

so I may rest a while in between your lips.

If I can’t be your love,

then let me at least remain in these words

so I may rest a while in your thoughts.
