Clouds rain down on me

and wash my sorrows away.

Clouds come out and play with

me on a sunny day.

Clouds entertain me on a boring day

with your many shapes.

Help me find an elephant or a boat floating

high above me as I lay on the grass sky watching.

Clouds you’re always around telling me if the weather will be nice,or when the Storm is rolling in.

And how soon I need to get inside before it really starts to pour down on me.

clouds you brighten my day and warn me when the day may take a turn I didn’t expect.

You love traveling to new places and seeing new faces.

Everything locals take for granted you shine light back on them.

You bring joy to the towns you come to visit even if it’s just for a day.

You get people talking about the place they love and you get them to share their history.

And at the end of your day you’re full of new memories and maybe some new friends as well.

And maybe even promise to come back and explore the streets you have yet to see.

Or maybe your new friend has  invited you back so they can share with you the secrets of their town.

Tourist you are welcomed, so come out and explore the many places out there!

The photo was defaced so bad that at first

I couldn’t see the familiar handsome face I always saw

When walking through the front door.

She had destroyed everything that had been so precious to

Me and you.

As I  looked around the apartment she had smashed so many other

Things that it became so tiresome to think about how much more would need to be cleaned up.

I later learned she was in the league of crazy women and destroy things was her specialty.

A week later she came back and cornered the management and landlord into telling her where we moved.

But they held their ground and didn’t let her know anything.

That day is still heartrending yo me to think about and to know we had to leave the place we occupied just to be safe was nerve wrecking.

As time goes by I start to relax and enjoy our new place and hope the next girl or women you date doesn’t turn like sediment floating in the bottom of your ice tea-cup.

But dissolves when the relationship ends or at less accept  that something’s  are not meant to last and she doesn’t rakefire  when it starts to get late or were having too much fun.

The overload

mywords2228

So much space between us that everything

seems so unreal as time goes on.

And I’m left empty-handed and the longer

this goes on the longer I fall apart.

But every time I see you I try to put on a brave face

and stand straight and put a smile on my face.

And hide the tears that are threatening to come out and

play out the truth that I’m not as strong as you think I am

in this situation.

Daily Prompt: Water

The heat is turning up outside

and my thirst for  water is high.

As the water hits my throat, I am refreshed

and I can embrace the day with the energy I need.

Water wash over me, cool me down with your touch

that will make me forget the heat that has tortured me

all day long.

Help my body to relax and to enjoy the night as the heat fades

away and the water is all every cell in my body craves.

On a hot summer day Lil Annie was

denied her rocket ice cream bar.

For she was short five cents and no one

wanted to help her out.

She walked back home feeling sad and hot

and for the first time of her seven-year old life she was deprived of something she loved.

And it changed her view of the little things in life.

Please Fence me in

so I can run and play.

I am a dog and running around

is what I love to do, but you won’t

let me out without a fence.

So build me a fence so I run and play

with my rabbit friends.

Oh and I can chase the squirrels all morning long.

And when I grow tired I will come back inside and cuddle up to you.

And I will smile at you for I had such a great time behind those fences you put up.

Bubble

Trapped in a bubble

that is unbreakable.

I float from place to place

crying for help.

Trying to find the sharps edge

to break me free.

Yet no edge is sharp enough and

so float on in my bubble.

Until one day he spoke to me and

said I had to give up the things I thought

were the most important things in my life.

And if I trusted him, then he would catch me when my bubble finally pops.

His name is God and because of him

I am free.

But one of her busy’s days were on Saturday when people would  travel far to see her.

So they too could know what’s to come of their life.

Being prophecy was hard for Lilla, for sometime the things she predicted were sad and such a terrible lost.

But she knew she had to strong for her people and, one day her daughter or son would be strong for the people when she’s long gone.

So on this long busy Saturday Lilla put a smile on her face and embraced the weight the prediction  would bring her and her clients.

The end.

This town is empty

With no one insight.

Each store or home

I go to have been cleared out

As if no one ever lived there in long time.

It’s a ghost town with no hope of anyone

Ever coming around.

How did I  end up here in the first place.

I remember getting  on the bus and riding until

I got to the town with no name but felt the emptiness.

Who came up with this town and how did a bus ride to

A new place end up so lonely

My companion right now is my dog as we sit

inside as the severe Thunderstorm does it work outside.

The rain is heavy as it beats on windows and slams on-screen doors,

begging to be let in.

It just wants to play and wash over everything you own and letting you

know material things can be replace but you can’t.

So be safe out there in this storm because it wants a companion too

and it’s best to just not let it have its way.

I’ll take my chances with the companion I have today safe and sound inside

my little home where the rain can’t hurt me as long as I have faith that my God will

keep his children safe and not to worry about the things I can’t control.

Daily Prompt: Summer

Oh summer, how I used to enjoy you

for different reasons.

When I was younger it was to be out of school, free from homework and studying.

The freedom of just being a kid and hanging with friends.

Trying to not stay in the sun too much and hoping it rains to cool down the heat outside.

Oh summer how my time spent with you has changed to me working inside and you just being another season.

That will come and go and maybe I will enjoy you a little but once your gone you are gone.

My friend and maybe I will miss you but maybe not for your heat is becoming too much for me to enjoy you.

I went to bed and ended up in a dream that climate was below zero and I couldn’t handle the cold weather.

And so my hesitation to walk out farther outside into an unknown snow cover ground.

Is so not happening and then I see you a random guy dress in a great big fluffy winter coat the color of a elderberry.

The coat is almost covering the whole length of your body.

The cerise of your cheeks show me that the Cold is still getting to you.

You walk up to me and tell me you are a license mountain ranger and I should go back inside.

For there is a five ft six man who is a fugitive on the run and it would be best to lock my doors and go back inside.

I quickly retreat back inside and lock all the windows and doors.

Two hours later you came back to tell me it was safe and, you and your fellow Rangers had caught the guy farther down the mountain.

You obstruct me from closing the door, as you say goodnight.

You said my eyes shine like the brightness star in the night sky.

You smile and ask me out and I say yes and as you wander into the dark night going back to the place I know not of.

A star in the sky twinkled in the sky, a sign for me to finally let go and let in something new.
