My Wind

mywords2228

Like  the wind you blew into my life unexpected

You swept me off my feet so fast I feel so light-headed

But, I won’t start complaining for I’ve never smiled so much in my life as I am right now.

Your laugh blows me around and around like the strong wind outside

Your always seem to be giving me the strength I need to get through the storm of the day.

You never seem too tired when it comes to me.

I always have time to listen to the crazy stories of your childhood as we get to know each other.

You never seem to hold it against me when my flaws out shine my strength

You blow away all the bad things that try to take a hold of me.

Sometimes I feel I’m going to wake up and this is just going to be a dream but, it’s not and I feel just so lucky.

You’re the wind below my wings and your blowing me higher and higher everyday that I feel I can accomplish all my dreams sooner than I thought.

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Parlay

mywords2228

They said being with you was a bet that would end up being the winning of my life.

And at first I just didn’t believe them

even though you were nice to me.

This in life that maybe seem too good turn out to be the worst

So I let my guard stay up as you tried to get closer to me.

Maybe I was just being caution and you didn’t seem to mind

but as time went on I knew my guard wasn’t going to win this battle.

As all the walls fell around me and as vulnerable as I was you protected me

and in the end I won the greatest prize.

Your heart, your smile and the light in your eyes that shined only so bright for me.

I admire you

mywords2228

I admire the strength you have

Even when you seem not so  sure of yourself.

You embrace the things in life that just  may break someone else

you are stronger than they think.

You  have overcome so much that I just wonder sometime how you could

still be so nice and loving to others, when you feel you are full of darkness.

You smile by day and frown by night

the happiness that seems to be bursting out of you, just disappears when you work out that door and head home for the night.

You enjoy so many things but you feel like you are so wore out that the light is slowly losing the battle as you are too tired to fight off the defects of the darkness.

Will you win this battle with a few scars or lose it with the biggest wound of all?

I guess only time will tell when I see you again.

Poetry

Daily Prompt: Desire

mywords2228

So many people want to desire you for

you’re beautiful or handsome.

And everything about you screams desirable.

You’re like the big juicy ripped apple that everyone wants to pick from the tree.

But, they just can’t seem to reach the branch you’re on.

They get mad, sad and just give up.

But, the answer is to not give up but find another way to get to the apple that is so sweet.

And over time some will find a new way but, not all will desire you for a life time.

So will just not come around

I’ve

mywords2228

lost my voice

and everywhere I look

leads me to a dead-end.

I just want to find it soon

Or I will disappear from your mind

like the words I wrote yesterday.

My voice I tried so hard to hold on to you

but now that your gone I’m just so tired and helpless without you.

Nothing comes out my mouth and so I just sit inside

away from it all-knowing the one thing that I thought wouldn’t go away did.

I’m lost without you and I hope you come back soon.

Daily Prompt: Doubt

mywords2228

I don’t want you to creep into my mind and mess up

the good things I have planned out.

Everything seems to going great and then one bad day

and you’re in my mind and doubt you can turn everything from 100% a sure thing

to not sure if that decision was the right fit for me.

I don’t want to doubt everything good that’s going on with me

for what life would that be.

Would it be a fulfilled life?

Or one that made everything hard to deal with?

I want to be hopeful that everything will work out in the end and not doubt that a storm is just around the corner.

Or that my luck will run out.

I want to feel that this moment I’m living in is just the beginning of something great soon to come.

I’m hopeful today and every day to come for doubt will not break me, it may make me stop and wonder for a second but I will move on and believe that things will get better.

Daily Prompt: Hesitate

mywords2228

I’m hesitating to write this to you today

for no words seems to be the  right fit

and the time on the clock is just clicking away.

I want to write more but the words are locked up today

and I can’t seem to find the right  key to unlock it all.

And soon the night is going to end

and  I’ll have lost my chance at speaking my words

and I don’t like going a day without saying what’s on

my mind.

I want to finish this but my thoughts keep pausing after every word as if

I’m not meant to write or share this.

The hesitation is so strong today I feel I’ll just come back another

day and try to write it all out again.

I’m

mywords2228

fighting for myself as I am all I got

you hide in the shadows waiting for me

to come into the darkness.

But, I rather live out in the light even if I am all alone.

This path I am on is a narrow one and I feel at peace as I continue on my journey.

With my destination no where in sight, I continue on with no fear in my heart for I’ve waited a long time.

To feel this strong, to love this hard

To believe and to trust with all my heart.

That today God has my back and as my strength grows stronger.

I step into the darkness only for the light to win.

I’m fighting for myself but,maybe soon you will join me and fight for yourself too.
