I shall wait.

Loved by all,
Her eyes were mine,
Just for that instant,
I committed a crime.

I had perfection,
and let it go,
I set beauty free,
And it was gone.

My biggest mistake,
Money could not pay,
I was the richest man,
But no feast
Could bring us back,
To that day.

The day where I saw,
What the heavens made,
The day where I fell in love,
and let it fade.

I went through darkness,
To make money for love,
But I could not pay,
The years I did not give you,
my love.

My love, I am here,
In a swimming pool,
In a big mansion,
Across the lake.

I await the sound,
of a little fool,
I await the sound,
of dropping coins,
I await the sound,
of you, my love.

The brightness of
a green light,
fades away.
In a night where
Nick, stared my way.

I was nimble to see
A bright green light,
But blinded at
the surrounding darkness.

In darkness,
I had money,
In darkness,
I saw you shine,
And neither,
Gave me you.

One mistake, extinguished our fire.
One chance, and I chose,
What I did not desire.

Blame it on me,
Because you could not wait,
Blame it on me,
Perhaps it was faith.
Blame it on me,
But call me.
I shall wait.

"I'm not the whisky you want, I'm the water you need." - Rupi Kaur

The light came through, Your peaceful smile, in truth. The surreal was still at bay But I did not know what my words would convey. I heard the silence pedal, I spent the days winning medals Hoping to protect my heart By covering it with metal. I'm trying to explain these walls, The shields and simple fears, I hope they don't reflect you away, But I do not know if you can stay. I buried myself deep within Behind this thick armor My wounds had frozen As I lay there, I burned the roses. A little heat was a sweet reminder Of my burnt past The loving pleasure and pain I ran from what would always remain. So when I glanced at you in disbelief, It was hard to mutter past my walls, But you saw past them with your own, By admitting what I had never known. The vulnerabilities we touch Let us know we are loved They acknowledge our shame And let us play our game With a silly smile, I finally got the courage I finally had the nerve, To yell past my wall...

Food: Volume 2

The Food Guide: Volume 2 August marked the start of my 10th year in Atlanta, Georgia. My first 3-4 years were arguably a waste in the context of visiting places (still remember being blown away when I first ventured into Decatur), but I wanted to revisit my Food Guide now that I have frequented many locations around Atlanta and found the pockets that I really love. Before I had structured the guide from cheap to expensive, but this time I will break it down by neighborhoods, since I think that better represents Atlanta. Disclaimer, I also love beer so some of these may be bias to the beer world. I explicitly won't be mentioning breweries or bars because this would just get insanely long, but hit up Hop City, and check out every brewery in town. I particularly have been loving the atmosphere at Atlanta Brewing Co. so go check them out! Updated lightly in January 2021 to add PERC Coffee, otherwise intact so forgive if anything is stale, and another update 5/10 I removed Le Fat ...

What are we supposed to do after all that we've been through...

When everything that felt so right is wrong? It's interesting, where you draw the line... Confusing as well. The world of peace and tranquility is impossible, and its existence shall always remain a dream, an objective, a place we would love to set ourselves towards endlessly, rather than simply reaching it. Simple words can change the life of another human being, and in many circumstances, they have. I write to you, in confusion, I don't know where life has gone, but the beauties within it still remain. Dropping from one and rising to the other, I await a sound wave, but at the same time, am reluctant to hear it. I wish and dont wish, I simply don't want to decide. Why can't two worlds coincide? Why can't my life be settled as is, without problems? It wouldn't be much of a life would it? Watching a speaker recently, I recall him asking his audience, how many liked surprises, the response was indefinitely yes. Little did they know, problems were surprises, and t...
