honor those seams of family and that it grounds you to this earthly affinity </p><p></p><p>You gift me grace flowing like music from a flute and even though I may sometimes be a brute, I won't go mute as you make me be more than I was ever before</p><p></p><p>We have seen together starry skies and boundless nature, pristine lakes and beauty that God makes, yet nothing compares to your pristine visage and frame lighter than clouds above, nothing before or after you will the same impact have, from your cascading hair silky and fair skin glinting like ivory, everything about you makes you a walking treasure weaved from forces of nature</p><p></p><p>Your tenacity is strong enough to bring about stability, as you show strength of astounding length, lifting yourself and the spirit of others up</p><p></p><p>For your eyes like emeralds springing from earth bountiful, sparkling both within moonlight and days bright</p><p></p><p>Your loving soul bathing those you hold dear in warmth from hearth</p><p></p><p>That you keep nature in mind, love it in sight, hold dear all from a blade of grass to hummingbirds fluttering and glinting like brass</p><p></p><p>The fact that you make me want to build bridges for your dreams, so that they one day connect our worlds to a happy future</p><p></p><p>That your inner compass always finds a way to point towards kindness and righteousness </p><p></p><p>That you and me can chat happily creating moments that stay with me endlessly</p><p></p><p>Your adventurous spirit finding paths towards prairies, filled with energy like the flight of birds flying over mountains</p><p></p><p>For the waves of our souls singing in resonance, causing a sense of ease that has never sounded in me before this</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bug food]]></title><description><![CDATA[The detriment of the petrichor is that we're all drowning in

my friends was almost murdered.</p><p></p><p>People got ahold of a universal key to his apartment complex and came there while he was sleeping and hacked him in the head with an axe.</p><p></p><p>The most disturbing thing about this was that the motive behind this murder attempt is as petty as gaining street cred apparently.</p><p></p><p>No real fighting.</p><p></p><p>Just killing in order to gain standing in a crowd with no morals.</p><p></p><p>It wasn't like this before.</p><p></p><p>Sure, murders happened but they were due to fights or depts or wrath from wrongdoings.</p><p></p><p>Not for the reason to kill in order to seem tough.</p><p></p><p>This world is becoming more rotten, even in this peaceful country of mine.</p><p></p><p>Old ways are dying and now even people's families can become targets.</p><p></p><p>Where did the honor go?</p><p></p><p>We used to have some semblance of rules.</p><p>But now it is a dog eat dog world out here.</p><p></p><p>Everyone is carrying and trigger fingers keep twitching.</p><p></p><p>Petty reasons for the heaviest crimes appararent.</p><p></p><p>Such a sad state for an already dark underworld.</p><p></p><p>If I disappear from here completely there's a chance I've been shot.</p><p></p><p>That's just the state of things.</p><p></p><p>Human lives seem worth less these days and I mourn for it.</p><p></p><p>Stay safe everyone, these
