No more please...

What a fool I am when I choose to ignore things that are so plain to see, things everyone notices except me. I'm so stupid... still questioning what I can no longer ignore. What is in front of my eyes its not covered up by lies nor from me kept, and I know it to be true in my heart, yet, my soul cannot accept the thought that I have lost you that there is nothing I can do. But, how can I lose what I have never had? how can I feel stabbed by a none existent dart, and bleed and die inside not once... Sign in to see full entry.

Enlightenment

The sweet dark warmth of a forest at night with its many noises and its utter calm... If you lay on the floor and close your eyes you can feel the tremor of thousands of hearts near and far, all around, mixed in with the scents that the sun and the rain left behind. Laying there on the floor you hear strange sounds soft whispers and loud screams. things touch you and you lay very still for though you don't want to stay there, you know you will and there among the tall mighty trees where...

Little angel with the broken wings

Skin white as snow, her golden hair like silk long eyelashes cast shadows on her large and bright blue eyes, marred by the darkness of the world. Small for her age she hardly occupies any space She shrinks as she sits there, as if hiding from her fate, and little hands hold each other as large sad tears roll down her face, She looks at me and silently pleads to let her go, to let her leave… And I fight my impulse to hug her. What's wrong Angel? I ask What's right? she answers and cries. Twelve... Sign in to see full entry.

Le petit mort.

When your heart is beating so fast that even your convictions tremble and something inside of you overrides reason, something that wants to be, to explode inside of you and there is no stopping it, for it is not a part of you that wants culmination but your whole being so you let go and surrender to ecstasy; When there are no thoughts except to become one with him and like a bolt of lightning that turns into a myriad of colors expanding to fill every ounce of the mind, his soul invades your soul...

There is a big bright moon above the city skies Its light reminds her of him … of sleepy eyes of living dreams and dreaming life in a brief moment of fulfilled desires, a moment that flew so fast past other loves still with them, past a friendship that had just began. It flew above their minds tired and torn and in a flash, the moment was gone, All that was left were smiles. without sense or rhyme... it was fine, it would have been just two friends trying to relax, if that darned moment had not...

Moon beams and shadows

Moon beams and shadows things of the night tell me, have I done wrong? Should I have stayed true to a love now gone? Is it the stars light that illuminates everything so bright, or is it this feeling that fills my heart. Why is it that I see all colors come to life on this very beautiful night even though it is so dark... Why do the scent of jasmine fills so the air and why do I feel that there is nothing there but the memory of what happened before when water touched fire and we both felt the...

Weep not for love lost

Weep not for love lost, for once found, if true, love cannot be lost. Weep for the one that left love, now self-betrayed, who has passed from light to darkness and sees it not. One small light which surrenders to darkness, becomes part of the whole of darkness. Love is not love of only one, love is life itself. It will not cringe when turned from nor plead for things now passed, for it renews itself with each passing moon. The hurt, the tear in your confidence her abandonment caused is closing...

Let it go

Have you seen how the raindrops cling to the moist leaves after the storm has passed? Its almost as if they were afraid of the awaiting grass... As if they knew they would be no more once they fell. Maybe their melting into the ground below, though their destiny, is their hell. Have you felt when you are with who you feel is your love that you must cling to them for ever more? Almost as if you were afraid that if they left, if they broke free of your embrace there would be for you no place no... Sign in to see full entry.

Dancing around the fire.

A butterfly danced around a fire on a moonless night admiring the hypnotic brightness of its flame, the warmth she felt as she came near made her feel good about herself and she put aside her instinctive fear as she caught her reflection in the deep puddles summer rains had left on the floor the night before. She loved the way her wings sparkled in the brightness of that fire's glow she knew she should leave but she did not want to go she wanted more of it...she wanted it so, and with every...

Once

Once I felt a sweet warmth, a strange sadness reading a poem a friend wrote about love. His words were not about me just about her, who he loved so but that did not matter to my soul the true sadness in his verse reached its core, so my soul told my heart to stop and listen and my imagination made those words my own. Through the months I listen to his heart pour out in rich verses, enigmatic riddles and in his words, veiled and hidden well I caught glimpses of his nightmares the deep sadness,...

all alone

I lay on my bed, You are no longer there and yet I feel you so near. Somehow it just seems so unfair. My body trembles just to imagine your touch, the way you used to stare when you wanted me so much and I hear your voice, sweetly saying my name, like a chant, like a prayer, I have looked out my window many nights and seen only white, white and the darkness of a cold winter's night, Now I look out and see luscious greens trees that dance to a sea inspired wind that makes the flowers sway and...

Goodbye

Goodbye... to her, to everything, for she had been all. Again alone... without the thought of her, his love.. They talked and tears were shed in vane What had gone wrong? what had they done? there's so much pain inside their words She tells him is not too late to dream but her sweet voice is not the same lies grow and grow amidst the pain she says she loves him but he knows its just her heart being what it is that can not see him cry like this. For in reality they have both known for a while... Sign in to see full entry.

The Woman

Her life she gave to others and forgot to become the woman that as a girl she dreamed she would be. Days passed fast and busy, leaving her heart numb. and like the waves that run their course in the sea looking, searching for the shore that will give them what they seek, she followed her path routinely, raising children, always giving forgetting to take the time she needed for dreaming. First there were little babies, wet, hungry and cute, the house, the dog, the husband, all needed her so,... Sign in to see full entry.

The gypsy

The fingers of time had left on his face trails where tears had consoled his pain. His white hair contrasted the dark of his skin... on his lips, many smiles had left their sweet taste and his eyes, transparent and blue, shined bright through the haze of thousands of memories of things unexplained. His fingers caressed of his violin the strings, and the bow played his feelings, tracing the outlines of long ago dreams,` dreams important to him, that never came true, There was sadness in his...

Dad

Dad When I was little you were all, all I needed in my life to feel nice and safe, safe from that world that seemed so big, so big and scary to a little girl like me. You were so wise and big and s strong, strong enough to scare away my fears, silly fears that at night sometimes, just sometimes, when you were not near, turned into sad and lonely tears, tears that always dried up when you gave me a kiss, a sweet kiss, just before I went to dream, and that made me feel warm and safe, a kiss that...

Thank you Papi.

Sitting by the sea thinking of where I grew up my thoughts naturally went to you my father, my rock, and I wondered... looking at the waves leaving in the sand their trace... Would I do what you did if I were in your place? Would I leave what I know without knowing what I'd face? I would like to think I would, but how could I be sure I would do what you did for me, just so I could think and pray, just so I could grow up free?. I want to thank you Papi for loving me, for bringing me here far away... Sign in to see full entry.

Wishing is silly...Life is what we have

A golden cage sits by a window inside a red brick house that stands alone among the trees growing in the inlet by the road. Its gilded roof shimmers in the light of a sun that peeks through a cloudy crying sky. In the cage, surrounded by bars adorned by precious stones, a lonely bird stands on an elaborate swing made out of gold. There is food everywhere and treats galore, and a tinny silver bell for her to ring if she should want more. The bird is silent...just looking through the glass of the... Sign in to see full entry.

Angel with the tattered wings.

N ext to the doorway to nowhere where things that frighten us dwell a golden beautiful angel sits resting from her trip to hell Arms crossed, stiff back, in her face...an undefined smile, sad for what she's seen, happy because she is there, her cut out jeans the only clue of what she was before she died. Behind her hides a horse, noble animal, picture of strength perhaps her guardian spirit while on earth still watching over her...a true friend. Someone or something broke her wings back when...

Last night's dream.

A dream came to me last night, a dream that I did not ask for, a dream of things that cannot be but yet, were sweet. My mind did not bring me last night to that old familiar place but to new and tender, exciting thoughts of deep blue eyes on a nice face and lips that I would love to trace softly and deliberately with mine. Strange thing this amazing dream so out of the blue and yet...so good Am I to be blamed for all of these when I did not ask for that dream? Am I innocent of all those naughty...

I am drunk

I am drunk, I drank too much I drank to ease the pain, the deep pain of knowing you were gone See, I tried to run away from all, from this place that is so you, from the memory of how it used to be, the memory of what is no more and there I was, hypnotized by the song of the wind of an opaque moonless night, the smoke from my lonely breath twisting aimlessly amidst the rain softly caressing and kissing my pale face as you once did, drawing my forlorn gaze to a semblance of a smile, reading...
