My Second Major Breakup

This was my second major breakup…

For weeks, I couldn’t wake up
without thoughts of the cutie in the café reading The Coldest Winter ever.
I could remember clear as day,
she was sippin’ Seattles Best, her smile was the warmest ever.
We shared books, music, videos, and coffeehouse culture in the café…
and then came the breakup.

This was my second major breakup…
My bookshop love left me lonely.
Sure, there were other bookstores
but nothing compared to the homie.
I like BIG BOOKS and I cannot lie,
I had to go online to order books after the breakup…

And I’m a classic man,
I couldn’t cope with Nooks and Kindles;
l was forced to rekindle an old flame.

Yeah… I had my coffeehouse girl,
she rocked my world
but the love was not the same.

She liked the movie,
I liked the book,
the two are not one in the same.

The game’s not the same,
I want that ol’ thang back…
I need a special girl in this computerized (digital love) world.
Nowadays they serenade Computer Love
with no Roger, no Zapp;
they shooby doo bop to the tune of audiobooks and apps,
it’s breaking my heart.

The game’s not the same,
I want that ol’ thang back…
trips down memory lane
had me thinking about my librarian love;
ahh my lovely literati,
she’s always had my heart.

The game’s not the same,
I want that ol’ thang back…
Yeah… I miss Borders Bookstores
but the library,
ahh my beloved bookspace,
she’s far more than a pretty bookface.
She’s the one that turned my heart into a MakerSpace,
to keep our shared interest in place.
She’ll always have special place in my heart,
truthfully speaking,
my library love is the reason why I love language arts.

Geek Love

Tags

a novel affair, embrace the weirdness, geek the library, geekish, reading is the new sexy, smart is the new cool, stay weird

Inseparable…
like pages binded in books;
they called it geek love.

A novel affair…
they met in the library,
that good ol’ geek love.

GEEK THE LIBRARY
stickers peppered her notebook…
He loved her geekness.

Embrace Your Geekness,
your weirdness is wonderful…
don’t hide the madness.

Be kind, love a geek…
#readingisthenewsexy,
#smartisthenewcool.

You’re far from boring,
be your plain ol’ nerdy self…
don’t try to fit in.

Gorgeous and Geekish…
“don’t be afraid to geek out,”
he whispered to her.

You Are Enough

Tags

energy is everything, full confidence, have a great day, more than enough, no room for insecurities

You don’t need anyone’s affection or approval,
to be good enough.
Nevertheless,
I adore you
and I want to remind you…
you are more than enough.

You are beautiful enough…
You are smart enough…
You are cool enough…
You are confident enough…
You are strong enough…

Your desirability…
Your skin… Your smile…
Your age…Your weight…
Your height… Your hair…
Your intellect… Your humor…
Your creativity… Your career…
Your compassion…
is more than enough.

Not that you need anyone’s affection or approval to be good enough.
Nevertheless,
I adore you
and I want to remind you…
you are more than enough.

You are so enough…
The world can’t seem to get enough of you.
You are so enough…
Total strangers seem to see so much in you.

You’re so enough…
Every bit of you is beautiful.
You’re so enough…
Your cup runneth over with all types of beautiful.

You’re so enough…
When you dance to the beat of your own drum,
the weird and the wonderful could hear your heart sing.

You’re so enough…
Every bit of you is beautiful.
You’re so enough…
Even those with ugly souls could look into your eyes
and see all types of beautiful.

You’re so enough…
Your inner glow is bright enough to make the songbirds sing.

You’re so enough…
you pay attention to the little things that make broken souls happy.
You’re so enough…
Your presence alone has been known to make souls happy.

You’re so enough…
You are much too much for one day.
You are so enough…
I need to see you fully confident;
each second –
each minute – each hour –
each day.

You are so enough…
I have full confidence in you;
there’s no room for insecurities,
I know you have everything within you to slay the day.
Nevertheless,
I wanted to say “You Are So Enough.”
Enjoy! Have great day 😉

Please & Thank You

Tags

energy is everything, magic words, manners, please, thank you

Besides yes and no,
please and thank you are the best
words in your vocab.

Nothing sounds sweeter
than Please & Thank You… Those two
words will take you far.

A simple “Thank you”
goes a long way. Don’t forget
to say thank you, please.

It’s always pleasing
to hear the word “Please;” it seems
to open more doors.

Please and thank you are
utterly better than the
abracadabras.

The magic words are
please and thank you… No hocus –
pocus, just manners.

A little thank you
can mean so much; please, do not
forget your usage.

Keep That Smile Glowing

beautiful thoughts, good vibes only, inner glow, lovely day, smile

A strong woman is on who is able to smile this morning like she wasn’t crying last night. -Unknown

#codeofthestreets:
Good morning beautiful…
Before you get started with your day,
I just wanted to say,
“keep that smile glowing!”

The petals of a rose are never jaded by the thorns.
So don’t let the tears of yesternight
dampen the joy of this morn.

Remember, ENERGY IS EVERYTHING!
May your day be filled with Good Vibes Only: Today, let your radiant smile illuminate beautiful thoughts;
tell yourself “It’s gonna be a lovely day”
and let your inner glow keep glowing.

As Roald Dahl stated:
“If you have good thoughts
they will shine out of your face like sunbeams
and you will always look lovely.”

Have a great day beautiful…
I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your pain;
even more, I adore how you continue to love
despite the heartaches and pain.
If nothing else, I want your day to be lovely.
