Poetry and short stories with a few daily quotes here and there!
Is very dear to me and I have loved coming on here and writing and sharing my work.
I’ve met some really great people and have grown so much as a writer but, I feel like right now I have to take a break from my blog and come back when it feels right again.
I hope that those who follow me will still be around when I come back and will just enjoy some of my old work.
Hopefully I will be back before the year is over but only time will tell.

how you capture me tonight
like magic that seems to not ever end.
You travel to so many hearts and lives
I wonder do you ever just get tired.
You share with so many and some experiences last a lifetime
where others only last a season or less.
Do you cry for the love that does not work out or do you hope that one day things will turn around for the couple.
Oh love as I hold you in my hands tonight I can’t stop but smile and enjoy this time I have with you.
I wonder if I will learn anything new from you tonight or will I unlock the secrets that were always deep inside of me.

times will my smile light up your day
will they all be real or just faked when I see the sadness in your eyes.
Will you remember how many times I was there for you and even though I was hurting
I but my feelings to the side so your happiness came first.
You laugh and smile was always worth putting first when I knew at the end of the day I was happiest when you were too.

You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:
Is where some people want to be right now just to relax for time being.
But, some of us aren’t lucky enough to go to the beach so we try to have our moments calm.
It may not last for very long but it helps pick our spirits back up and be ready to ride the next wave.

a rainbow you only appear in my life once in a while.
You may seem like a good thing when you first show up
but after a while you become too much.
You suck all the good energy out of me and leave me feeling drained and tired and washed up all at the same time.
You don’t seem to care how you affect those around you and so you don’t even care when they tell you enough is enough.
It takes time for me to gain back my strength once you are gone, I moved away with no forward address just in hopes you won’t find me again.
But, then I saw a rainbow today and I knew you would find me soon enough and so I try to hope tomorrow won’t be the day I see your face again.

me like a canvas
don’t stop until you create the right image in your mind.
I’m ready to get out of my comfort zone and become a piece of art for you.
I am different from those around me and I’m okay with that for today I get to be more than I ever thought I could be.
Every little detail on me is telling a story and inviting you in close to explore it, don’t be shy for I won’t bite.
