Art on canvas has risen up to be the new craze during the last few years, primarily due to the availability of canvas printers, dirt cheap canvas and stretcher bars and an unceasing lust for individuals to decorate their living space in an individual way
Nowadays, chocolate tempering has become automated to free chocolatiers from such a tedious task. Tempering is a very complex process and you should really have some staying power when it comes to the process of tempering.
However, there are still chocolatiers who are not in favor of using this new machine since they believe in […]
My eyes opened.
I am still alive;
Living on planet earth.
Though unconscious for many hours;
Unaware of existence,
Unknowing of life,
Incognizant of humanity
Living in a space of void,
Resident of nothingness,
Here, but not here.
There, but not there.
Now, awakened
I know I am here.
Thank you Lord! I guess;
I may prefer to be there.
Heard it is less troublesome,
Than here.
But, I accept here.
Though […]
What Hides behind the Minute?
What hides behind the minute?
It seems, no one really knows;
How many times will we wakeup,
To count the minutes gone?
The rose was dead when I arrived;
The sword, was rusty and dull;
The window curtain was open,
And there was music in the hall.
Oh lovely minute, where art thou?
One, is not like the other:
Whirling in […]
You can do and you can be
whatever you want.
You have the power,
and the right,
to make the changes.
There are many choices to be made
as daily life goes by.
There are changes in our world
and choices in our lives.
There are those who come
and those who go.
There are those who enrich,
and those who drain.
There are thoughts
which improve our daily […]

Thinking of ideas, meeting their love, exchanging gifts, expressing love. All the romantic lovers have already gone in the mood […]
Mother’s Day Poetry,
I’m Sorry Mom!
I’m sorry for the troubles
And the worries I brought you.
I’m sorry for my mistakes,
I didn’t mean to make you blue.
When I was young and growing up,
Living in your home for so long,
I made many people sad,
I did many things wrong.
So I thought that I could show you […]
There are many times I set up
barriers and walls,
invisible unless you come too close,
And then you hit them.
You wonder what happened.
You didn’t know,
I can’t let you in.
I’ve lost the key to open the doors
in the walls, and
I don’t know how
To take them down.

now is not the time to open
open that great door again
not the time to be more tolerant
not the time to play to win
now is not the time for justice
evolution mercy choices
not the time to pet the puppies
yipping with pathetic voices
now is not the time for kindness
not the time for compromise
not the time for loving blindness
not […]
