			<title>Parallel Doors</title>
			<description>Lately, I&amp;rsquo;m driven to answer a question. I might be onto something,Like the exuberant professor that struggles to findSanity.&amp;nbsp;I have a theory,Structured with a fixation to knowSo that I&amp;rsquo;m not oblivious like the generations that burnedAnd batteredThe hub of time.&amp;..</description>

			<description>When I posted this, I was so in love and so happy with where I was in life.
Now, I look back on this and sincerely miss the feeling of being desired and being 'it' in someone's eyes.</description>

			<title>To Stay a While....</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;Sometimes, More often than not,I sit and stare at the blend of life Fixed firmly,FaultlesslyIn the black soil,Leaving wafts of wavering stillnessThat is minerals joined with moisture,The moisture from the rainThat falls.&amp;nbsp;It seems rather often,That I catch myself ..</description>

			<title>Mutiny-Prologue</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;When Elizabeth Pendleton stared out into the river that gurgled leisurely before her, not far from the urbane quarters of her home, there was a heat that poured from the sun, leaving her lazing about the verdant turf of her neighborhood, searching for a familiar tree that she took comfort in..</description>

			<description>&amp;nbsp;My heart&amp;rsquo;s been ill.I&amp;rsquo;ve squandered emotions through and through, Reproducing no means of hearty fullness,Feeling no bliss or elation as they say you should.No.The core of my being, tinted blue once more,Has left a puddle of pale frustration.I&amp;rsquo;ve been treading..</description>

			<description>If you read this, I will surely love you forever. I know it's a bit long, but I am wondering what it really is like, based on other opinions. It's not that great and it's very Dickens-like, in that it's sort of slow-paced in some areas, and the smallest o</description>
