It was a

strange and frightening night as Halloween night came to an end.

The streets were deserted and nothing was around but this eerie orange fog that just swallowed up everything in sight.

Parked cars on the street were hard to see,it was like something was  coming.

But, what it was or who I had no clue.

What I would find or what would find me.

I watched from the crack of my window shade.

Hoping to catch a peek of what was to come.

Little did I know it had already had found me and was standing right behind me.

As I saw its reflection in the window, I knew my time had come.

As the orange fog swallowed me up and I was never seen again.

Until next Halloween when I became the fog and took my first victim.

The giant hole in her heart

waits to be filled with so many wonders.

She didn’t think the hole would ever be filled.

She didn’t search for the things, she knew would heal and fill her pain.

For she knew she would never find them on her own.

But, as time went by some pieces started to appear and she felt so much more than before.

Yet, the biggest piece of it all still remained unknown .

She doesn’t think it will ever be found and so her hope fades in and out every day and night.

The melody

plays on and on

and in that moment

I’m lost in the music

and my emotions are

growing.

As  the words fill my mind

and I’m lost in time.

My fingers hit the keys

and the words fly from my mind.

As the melody guides me to my next piece of work

The words connect me so much I start to change them

To fit the flow I need to feel like this piece is mine.

The melody flows through me like blood through my veins, it energizes me to go

On with my writing as I erase to find the right words that leave me with a smile on my face and, feeling so good I know the piece is good no matter what others say.

Daily Prompt:Rearrange

I rearrange my words in hope to write something great

And sometimes the rearrangement plays off into something amazing.

It’s like the words become real in front of my eyes and connect with so many people.

In so many ways I didn’t think possible.

As each rearrangement of words come together I wonder if they will be my next master piece of words that shock or surprise you’re soul.

Happy

Birthday to me.

A day celebrating that I lived another year.

It’s great to be able to have this blog and to be growing as a writer and as a person.

I appreciate all my friends and family for saying happy birthday to me and I’m glad to just have a day to relax and not stress out.

A day of sleeping in and not worrying, feels so good.

Until tomorrow when life goes back to normal and time seems to speed up and so much is going on around me.

But, today I’m in my bubble and I’m just enjoying the view.

You get is what you see

There are no big surprises going to pop out of no where.

My words are what they mean, there are no hidden messages between the lines.

Maybe sometimes I’ll take it easy on you but won’t step back from being me.

I’ll tell you right upfront that I’m nice but cross the line and that’s the only time you will see another side of me.

We all have layers but my layers won’t be a shock to you.

I will give you shivers when I’m around with just one word or one touch.

Daily Prompt: Smoke

Like smoke you came into my life unexpectedly.

You made it hard for me to see clearly, like there was fog always around me and I only had you to guide me through it.

So when it felt to hard to continue this path with you.

I had to fight my way out of the smoke that made me feel like I couldn’t breath or see.

But as I got farther away from you everything was so clear and bright  again.

The storm was over, no smoke left in me and for the first time in a long time I smiled again.

Daily Prompt:Transformation

The night you transformed into a white owl and flew away.

Was one of my favorite nights but,now things are different for you can fly away from things.

And in stuck here wondering my days and nights looking for you or some kind of hope.

I want to transform into something so I can explore the world from a new view.

I would love to be a wolf and run though the forest or be a cheetah and run so fast it would be so hard to catch me.

But, my transformation has yet to come and I’ll wait patiently until it’s my time comes my way.

Sometimes it’s the tiny bit of hope that helps me see the light at the end of this road.

I walk with my bit of hope every where I go, knowing it will get me through it all.

No matter how big or small my problems are that little bit of hope can blast through it all.

Allowing me to smile and have just a little bit of hope that today will be great even though I feel like crap.

The season of getting sick is surely coming but my bit of hope will get me through.

Nights

mywords2228

when I’m dreaming and I’m running all alone but then you come along  my protector.

At first I was scared of you my gray wolf but now I look forward to seeing you at night.

Your eyes shine in the moon light and I can’t seem to look away.

Your teeth are so sharp and white and sometimes you run through the woods with a silly grin on your face.

You’re my companion and I enjoy our time together. The forest is a big place but I know you will always keep me safe.

No danger is big enough to stop you from protecting me.

The dreams seem to continue on every night and I hope they don’t end.

But then one day I woke up and went outside to get my mail and I saw you on my neighbors sons motorcycle and I knew I had found you in real life.

As I got to know Sean I realize he was having the same dream as me and now finally together our nightly walks are always just nice.

Safe when holding your hand as we walk on the trail  that leads to a wooded area, I never sense danger or fear anything for I know I’m safe with you.

Daily Prompt: Artificial

Her artificial smile was pasted on her face as she saw you walk in the door with a brunette on your shoulder.

She didn’t think you would move on that fast and even though you did she didn’t want you to see her sweat or frown about something that had nothing to do with her anymore.

So she smiled so hard as she ringed you both up and said have a nice day while trying her hardness to not cry or get mad.

When all she could see was a beautiful girl smiling in her face wrapped up in the man who use to be hers.

She didn’t watch them walk away but if she did maybe she would have seen the sadness on his face as he tried to hold it together and pretend he was happily over her.

When all he wanted was her back in his life but, she made it pretty clear he wasn’t worth her time anymore and that he wasn’t mature enough for her to think about a future together.

Daily Prompt: Volunteer

You see Ms. Rosethron wasn’t the nicest lady in town.

But, Frankly Frank had nothing better to do so he volunteered his Friday nights to helping her out around her yard.

He knew it would be hard work since  Ms.Rosethron Couldn’t get around anymore the way she used too.

Her yard looked like a jungle and Frank had a lot of work ahead of him to do.

But, he put all he had into making her yard just the way she wanted it.

It took a month but he got it done and would stop by every now and then to keep the yard nicely trimmed and mow the yard when needed.

You see Frank fell in love with the yard when fully restored to its natural beauty.

And even though Ms.Rosethron never asked him to keep up the yard work.

She always greeted him with a smile and when she died.

She left Frank the house and all the money he would need to up keep the house for the next fifty years.

Daily Prompt:Millions

There are always millions things going on in life.

That we can’t or can control and it’s never just you going though them.

When it’s good and when it’s bad there is only one person I want to have my back.

And that’s my lord God and I wouldn’t pick a million other people over him.

There are a million reasons I should believe in him and, I’m sure there are million reason some one else could say I shouldn’t believe and trust in him.

But,I  say haha for if I had the time I’d show you the many things that worked out for me because of him.

My life is worth more than I could put in words because of him.

I won’t settle for a millions of dollars or reasons life could be better without him.

Because I know these earthy things don’t have a greater hold on me than he does.

I’ll take my chances of being happy a million times over with him and my struggles a million times over with him.

Because alone I couldn’t do half of what I’m doing now or handle it on my own now.

Meeting you seems like ancient years ago when things were so much different.

Now it’s hard for me to really recall the moment things went bad between us.

But I know as we both grow up and the memories we shared start to fade from our minds.

Until it’s like one day you we’re important and the next your my past.

I guess I would be sad but my present now is so good that the past I rather not unpack.

I guess something’s in ancient times are nice to remember but not so great to go down memory lane again.

Daily Prompt:Underground

Sometimes I wish we could go underground and escape from the world for a little while.

I need a break from these crazy moments and just be able to not lose my mind.

I need more time to relax than I am given right now.

I need to fall and not be interrupted again and again.

I want to explore the different path underground I could take and get lost and not worry about where I end up.

To finally just let my hair down and smile for real and not be putting on a show for the world to see.

Being under will be my time to shine and nothing will stop me.
