Lorenzo's Oil

-
Leave some room for all to be quelled
Let time in, immersing the pain
Permit love and lenitive spells
Punctured heart will breathe once again

Find your space to ease into hurt
Face the music, adage would state
Meditate on what you are worth
Much more soothing, healing than hate

Grieve! It is good; let it all out
Gather your soul into one cup
Alleviate all of your doubts
Answers will come; just don't give up

Oil for joy, pour it on down
Overwhelming offenses soaked
Balm for the scar and for the frown
Strength inside brokenness, cloaked

I could be bitter But I want to be better I want to be still, abide Be left intact in Love's abode I could all your mistakes accent But you as mortal I accept I could begrudge your faulty quest But in my heart come be my guest I have in lowly tryst just waited Believing all my faith's not wasted I want to shout it in a whisper Because I need this woe to whimper I could exact in full revenge But I loathe hate as revenue I will in trust refuse the torment Because in comes a blessed torrent I will get by with smile and whistle Believing hostiles will somehow whittle I will protest in justice wordless But I in hope not be workless

So, after about 30 to 45 minutes of just being mesmerized by the Eiffel Tower and its peripherals, I proceeded with my self-made itinerary, using the river Seine as my main point of reference. On my list of spots to briefly visit and take pictures of (and with) were the Louvre , Cathedrale Notre-Dame , Champ Elysees , and the Arc de Triomphe ... all of which I crammed into my walking tour. I make it first to the Louvre after Tour Eiffel. The museum was already closed, but I wasn't really there to see its interiors; I was after its very interesting external architecture.

When the weather is overcast people usually associate it with melancholy and infinite sadness. With the varying shades of grey splashed across the firmament, it's easy to see why. Grey is often seen as the color of boredom and is many times used as a synonym for despondency. Grey is often used in describing someone's dismal personality or tasteless character. On the other hand, grey seems to be the color of elegance and sophistication in upper class circles and a very flexible fashion pigment in the sense that it blends well with other members of the color spectrum. Back to the weather. People often bemoan the effect of a cloudy day as unpleasant, and inconvenient when accompanied by rain. Worse, when there's a downpour. I, however, have a different take on this meteorological phenomenon. When clouds have a massive congregation in the sky, they make the climate cooler. When the climate is cooler, the tendency to sweat is significantly decreased. When ...
