Treasures of Life

By Samuel German

“Treasure” is a subjective word. Perhaps a box full of shining gold and sparkling gems is the first image to come to mind. Now if you were asked “what is something in the world or your life that you treasure?”, what would be the first thing to come to mind? What if you could only choose one thing? What would it be?

Treasures of life explores these ideas, in poetry form. The book travels from topic to topic, page to page and discoveries different aspects in each topic. From topics as simple as “warmth”, as complicated as love, as exciting as sex, there are a total of 60 topics in the poetry book.

There is a total of 61 poems, and one topic is covered twice. Which topic could require two poems? Look through the pages and see if you can find which one! Also, take a few moments before reading to think of your own treasure, then see if you can find it within the pages.

If you don’t find your topic in the pages, then reach out to the author “Samuel German” and let him know what your topic was. Perhaps, there could a be a future book called: “Forgotten treasures”.

FOREWORD

If you could pick one thing in life that you could call ‘Treasure’, what would it be?

The poems in this book attempt to answer the question above. The poems present 61 different topics that you might hear from most people if you were to ask them this question. Do not take Samuel German’s word for it. Go out and ask them! If you reach the end and still have not found your treasure, feel free to email him at [e-mail]. Perhaps your treasure could be in the next poem book. Make sure you tell him why you treasure it.

Treasure 1: Adrenaline

Sit in your cave all day,

never go out of bounds,

your blood dries up,

your body slowly sleeps to your routine.

Take a chance,

your blood starts to pump,

you are not used to this glorious feeling,

after some quiet analysis it feels good.

Lying keeps you calm,

lie to her about her favorite song,

her expanding hips.

Tell the truth,

let the weak get offended,

every good relation can be mended.

The feeling starts again,

the argument may last a year,

someone who is true will stay near.

Go out of your league,

don't be bashful,

about staring into the mirror.

You don't know how much you’re worth,

you can do much better than a three.

Say no,

to her,

to him.

On the corner to the mugger,

down the alley to his homeless brother.

To authority,

you will be in the minority.

It will feel good,

As your veins awake,

the respect you will rake.

Regret nothing,

go from one moment to another,

talk to me even though we do not know each other.

Do not be afraid to laugh,

Hold back not from crying,

Never think about dying.

You will die and be in the same spot forever,

your blood will dry,

the worms will lap it up.

Let your veins waves run through,

even when you do not know what to do.

If it was racing,

it was probably worth facing.

Treasure 2: Being considerate

It is strange how the senses can quickly be forgotten,

when you are selfless, they are always pulsing around you.

A person’s actions will tell you much of what you need to know,

about their past,

what will happen in the future.

With your head on a swivel,

keeping common sense in order,

hoping to cause as little inconvenience as possible.

Look at the idiots bumping around,

dropping scissors and boiling liquid,

on naked hands and toes.

There is little advice,

to someone who does not think twice.

About how they move,

looking around before they do,

what else do they
