My Love

I got a little lost, for that I apologize

I found my way back and am more wise

Never did I think our love would falter

Here we are now running to the alter

I wish we didn’t lose our time but the truth is we did

For you, I’ll make this promise, kid

I’ll love you forever and this will never change

Hand and hand we will conquer anything in our way

Never will I stop fighting for you

Because never did you stop fighting for me

New Year

I am thrilled to welcome 2017! I have such high hopes and to be perfectly honest, it’s already 110% better than 2016! I haven’t felt this happy and free in ages. I’m trimming the negative and embracing the positive; this includes people.

Not to knock 2016, it definitely had its highs, but unfortunately I feel that the lows were quite low. I’m back and I’m ready for battle!

I love the way time works everything out 🙂

There’s No Poetry Left

 

The moon’s illumination in the dead of the night

A hauntingly peaceful sight

Dimming light, flickered one last time

The stars are falling from the sky

Disappearing as quickly as they appeared

The sun’s bright light masks the stars

Fooling those who sleep through the night

A poet’s soul, just like the stars

Is buried deep and lost in space

Just a vent

Consider yourself lucky if you can’t relate to what I’m about to say

Think of it as a gift from the universe that not everyone receives

I hope the stars align just right for you

And I truly hope this is something you would never do

Sometimes the people we are closest to are the ones that hurt us the worst

Why?

Because they’re the ones least expected to

The ones we can be ourselves with, confide in, and expect to be there when we need someone

But sometimes they’re not. They’re just big disappointments.

I guess we need to keep in mind that we’re all human

We’re all on our own journey in this life

Sometimes we cross paths with others and walk the road together

But sometimes… sometimes we turn separate directions

Storm Cloud

A distinct disconnect between the lightening and the cloud

Thunder echoes through the dark hills

Static stings in the air

A night so hot and humid

Stars hide behind a gray blanket

Pretending they don’t exist

The only thing that seems real to me

Is the fantasy of love’s kiss

Standard

Unglued

Slightly star-crossed as Fate twirls my life in her hands. She has a deranged sense of humor; laughing maniacally  as she intertwines love and misery.

Fate and Karma waltz together and frolic in the pain they concoct.

Instantaneously dismantling all stable ground from under my feet.

Splashing in the sadness, giggling and holding hands.

Spiraling they go hand in hand; weaving emotions and hurling them in the air.

Not a care in the world, they continue onward as I remain lost in the rubble of their deserted mess.

Fork In The Road

20160603_103114

I haven’t sat down and written like this in awhile… but I’ve been defeated by words.

I don’t know how to truly define how I’ve been feeling or pinpoint what has been making me feel this way.

I’m not feeling lost… more like I’m still wandering my path.

Just when I thought I was reaching my destination, I came to a fork in the road. Not only does this fork throw my compass off track, but it gives me something this long insipid path has been lacking.

It sparks intrigue, curiosity, and a sense of wonderment that I haven’t felt in years. Its magnetic pull is drawing me in.

For the first time in a long time, I feel like I am connected to the path, not just drifting on it.

Now I’m forced to choose… left…. or right…

I’ve never been one to follow every single rule given to me. I’ve never been one to do exactly as told.

I can keep traveling the same path that I’ve accepted or I can veer left and see where the mystery path takes me.

Funny, I seem to have misplaced my map.

That’s Just Like Her

 

Inspiration is fleeting

Time keeps repeating

Feelings of nothingness fill her soul

Dredging deeper she’s no longer whole

Passions fizzle to oblivion

A flicker of hope illuminates her delirium

Bright as a firework in a velvet sky

Fades as soon as it catches her eye

 Dimming quicker than a roman candle

Lit by a midsummer vandal

A shooting star in the distance but she doesn’t make a wish

Wishes are for fools who believe love exists

Doomed to ill-tempted fate

An out of control infatuation that cannot wait
