is all about celebrating this moment together

and I let go all the outside worries and concerns.

As sit out here on such a lovely night, drinking some wine and some food as well.

We know its been a long time coming and we are both excited for this milestone and fruitful future together.

But right now we just want to be in the present and go from there.

Tonight I wear red and I feel so free as my dress flows around me.

Romance is what this night will be all about and for that I am grateful I’m getting to spend time with you.

You for what you are.

Nice when it’s just me and you.

But, then when you have an audience your throwing jabs my way I’m as if you’re calling me out.

And frankly, I don’t care for it’s my life and my way.

If I do what feels right for me than at the end of the day.

You shouldn’t bring up what doesn’t concern you.

Sometimes the battle of being mature and leaving childish, things behind must be hard for you.

Or you’re true colors are coming out and I’m no longer naive to it.

I won’t fall for your frustration and distractions for I know me.

And I know I’m not about what you’re throwing my way.

And so I’m out and you will be invisible to me for I won’t be haunted by past.

For ignorance gets you nowhere quick and sooner or later karma comes and I ain’t in the mood for her.

You’ve always

Been my rock through these tough times.

Just one hug

Just one kiss

Just one look

And everything that seemed too much no longer matters.

For you know how to calm me down and when to get loud with me on the subject.

You listen and only once I’m done do you give me your opinion.

You try to be non-bias when I recap something for you.

For you always want to see the good in people and when it doesn’t work.

You drop the bullshit and move on.

Your always making sure everyone is good before you take care of yourself.

You will always be a part of my happiest moments.

For every begins and ends with you.

Three Line Tales, Week 230

They say or you might lose your head.

For walking under this path during a storm may just cost you more than you thought.

Even on a nice day as today being cautious and minding your head may just be what you need.

This week we are “writing away, and having a play, with rhyming words for you today” with Rhyme Time.

Our rhyming words this week are:

  1. save
  2. brave
  3. cave
  4. wave (or waive)
  5. gave
  6. grave

She was saved by God

so that she could be brave

enough to go into that cave

and to wave

to everyone she loved and gave

her supplies to survive so that she wouldn’t end up in a grave

that day.

When the

Time comes will you carry me home?

And will the sun shine brighter on that day?

Will the skies be clear and my family be comforted from the loss of me?

Will I see it coming and accept it is my time to go?

Or will I be shocked to look down and realize I am now going no more.

Soon the dirt will bury me up and all that will be left is memories of the good and bad days we shared.

And will they be able to recall at least one?

At my funeral or afterward when everyone is gather around sharing all the times we’ve had.

It’s been

an long time since I’ve sat at a desk and wrote something by hand.

And the words just don’t flow as they used too.

But it feels good to have a pen in my hands again and to think of the possibility of me writing something good today.

It’s been a long day, but it’s all worth it in the end when I feel the peace and love flow through me.

I know that one day it will happen for me to write something great on paper again.

Lately it

Feels as if I’m standing still.

But the dragon in me is slowly moving behind me.

Trying to find what is missing from my life.

The search is long and exhausting but I won’t stop looking and either will he.

The sun sets and rises again and again and my hope of that day coming.

Just seems too far away and my patience and heart is wearing thin,.

I don’t know how much more chill it can allow into my life.

Maybe it’s time for me to say some words and hopefully they will be heard.

Oh how

You are always on my mind and always in my heart.

You are my guide through this all.

And lately I haven’t been my best and yet you have stayed by my side.

For you are my God and through it all I truly know I can overcome it all.

Especially when I am a mess and nothing seems to make sense but when I let go.

And wake up the next day you always deliver just what I need.

And for that I am so grateful and I know through the struggles.

You will be there and I accept the hard times because when it’s easy it always feels like something missing.

The struggle make somethings so clear and true.

And for that I am thankful and light right now as nothing holds me back.
