Evil that makes her ruminate, Ruminate on her actions that’ve gotten, Gotten her into her lonesome state, State of depression, if she’s not careful, Careful to an optimist working to achieve Achieve her dreams without failed faith, Faith that has driven depression into Into its watery death in the river of her tears.

The eagle’s flight is sacred to me, it represents freedom and breaking the bonds of social stricture. I wanted to get the idea across that an eagle never loses his self-confidence, and, we, as humans, should look up into the sky for the example we want to follow.

While loving teaching is the main factor for being a great teacher, I also believe that a person needs to have an innate ability to teach by connecting to students via their needs, their hobbies, and emotions. The teacher also needs to know how to lower the requirements, if necessary, so that difficulties or gaps in knowledge are covered.

When a heart is encased in barbed wires, you fear for the health of its owner:
Barbed Wire Heart Exert
Barbed wires dripping in blood Wrap around her heart, squeezing it in a flood Of red tears, turning white sclera into a pool Of cherry wine, denoting melancholy’s icy cool

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems.” (Rumi)
Love’s Poetry
As light is hope and all that’s bright, Learning to love in the sun illuminates Your perception on values, character, that fight To blot out negativity, that’s darkened puss
That festers as an abyssimal blight To optimism whose courage roars in Flight to piece together poems whose bite Is only a loving caress, as their images pin
Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled From endured hardships but glows With the passionate compassion of being loved. As you shower me with light, the fight throws
Away the scourge of love’s broken heart By filling papers with poems that brook No argument to its plight in trying to strut The words in verses and lines that cook
Your presence into the essence of love Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes When amour is at its best fighting in brave Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.
