			<title>Free To Be </title>
			<description>I pray you never think of me, while I am wishing that you do. I'd say you never wanted me, but we both know that isn't true.I'd pay the price of any fee if I could be alone with you;and stay where we would both be freeto let our love have a breakthrough. I can not seem to let you g..</description>

			<title>Rhyme Essays </title>
			<description>We promised with our love always As we went our separate ways,But I walk down ghosted hallwaysThat he walked down back in those days.And all the days seem to amaze,As my heart still sings out his praise,And lets me know it's not a phaseAs it withdraws the price it pays. So, if my min..</description>

			<title>Dreamworld </title>
			<description>You were there in my dream last night, Untouchable, which isn't right. Give me a dream world where I'm free.. A world made just for you and me; No tethers that bind with their knot; No worry that we'll both be caught.8/7/2019</description>

			<title>Deep Blue </title>
			<description>I could blame it on deep blue eyes.At first glance, I did recognize.Felt my heart and mind polarize To resist the full hypnotize.

			<title>Dream 4/25/2019</title>
			<description>I was attending a council meeting to plan a presentation. I didn't recognize the room and it was like a double room with several chairs around the walls with no tables. They wanted to show off what the residents were doing in their yoga and exercise classes, but they didn't want to use any of the sa..</description>

			<title>The Worst 8</title>
