Life

Advertisements

We all have a life and live in a place

Where people feel the universe is guiding them.

Or some believe and trust in God to guide their life

And is a step away from the evil and sin on this earth.

No matter what we believe or trust we all want everything

To go well in our life and to feel like we can or will do everything

Out little hearts desire.

And maybe we will, for our life is everything to us and the universe exist

In our world.

We all feel someone is our everything and we would do everything in our

Power to help them and hopefully they will do the same for us.

This life we have is precious whether we believe in different things for we

Are all no better than the other.

And in the end we all have decisions to make that will have different results

But were all just trying to live our lives one step at a time.

To be Brave

Advertisements

 

in a new world

For you just open your eyes

And everything is new to you.

The person holding you for first time

Has such kind and loving eyes.

As they stare down at you, and you have to be brave and stare into those

Eyes and entrust yourself to them for as long as they will have you.

And as time goes on you realize this person is called mommy and mother and maybe

There is a daddy or dad.

And they are in charge but you soon realize you can wrap them around your finger

When you’re young and the first-born or the only child.

And as you grow maybe you begin to want to brave this new world on your own

Even when you’re not ready, just to know you don’t have to be bosses around to

Make it on your own.

But sometimes you can still be brave in new things and,still ask for help from

The hands that always been there to pick you back up when you fall.

My Paradise

Advertisements

Is lost to me

for I never seem to get the time

to relax and think about a place to call my Paradise.

If I had the time I would arrive at my Paradise and the

first thing I would see would be the beach with it nice sand

and, blue clear water from the front of the resort I’d be staying on.

My Paradise  would have free complimentary Alcoholic beverage as you pull up in the

shuttle that picked you up at the airport.

The lobby would be grand and open space  with a large all crystal chandelier hanging

from the ceiling and, the walls would be white & gold with clean white tiles.

A grey rug would lead you up to the receptionists desk  where you key for your room

would be waiting for you, once you checked in.

And your room would be so luxury, that when you open the door the fresh smell with a little hint of mint will greet you as you get settle and sit on your bed for the week or two.

You will be delighted on how soft the bed is and the sheets feel so soft like what you feel the clouds in the sky would feel like.

As you quickly fall asleep from the long day of travel, you can’t wait until tomorrow to feel the sad between you toes and water washing over you as you take a nice swim in the ocean.

And when that joyful moment is over, you can’t wait to explore this island and resort you are on and to be able to forget about your troubles and just for once focus on relaxing and enjoying the time of your life.

The Ocean

is where I want to be and I wish it was just down at  the end of the lane.

For I would go see the ocean every chance I could get.

To stare at the blue water  and to feel the sand between my toes as the water

wash up around me as I enjoy this little piece of silence by myself.

To feel the morning sun on me,to feel the breeze blow through my hair

as if it was the perfect morning to reflect on the things in my life.

To feel the cold water over me as I dive under and come back up knowing

things will be different when I step out the water and face the reality that everything isn’t as calm and relaxing as the ocean is today.

You were

never where I needed you

never where you were suppose to be.

You don’t ever seem to care that you, were

never where you needed to be.

It never was about if you needed to make

a commitment about being on time.

Maybe the never being where you were needed, was

your stage of telling us all you just wanted to be left alone.

You didn’t want the responsibilities that others had.

The Remaining

moments of my day

is it thought out about all the things I didn’t

get to do today.

Or is it looking back on all the great things I got to

enjoy, and everything else can wait for tomorrow to be done

or explored.

The time that remains in this day I want to treasure it and

put in my box of memories.

I want to be grateful that I still have

remaining time to enjoy with whoever I choose or just with myself.

They say

who wants to be alone forever.

But you can’t rush the process of life and sometimes, it’s your time to be alone.

And when the right one comes along,you will let him into your heart.

But, right now is not the right time and you know that.

So enjoy your time of learning everything about yourself.

Because there is no timeline for when you need to be with the right one for you.

This isn’t a movie, this is your life so live it for you and trust your gut.

And when you’re not looking or thinking about whose the right person for you.

They will show up and you will know, right in that moment, place that this is who you’ve been waiting for.

The Solitude

Advertisements

That felt like a hundred years had gone by

Since she last talked to anyone or spent time

with them.

She had gotten lost in her books and music and

When she looked up, so much time had gone by

That she couldn’t believe her eyes on the person.

In the mirror, looking back at her was the same girl

Since last month, time away has aged her, and not

In an effective way.

All the solitude she had wanted, hadn’t been what

She needed, and it was time to go back to society and, face

The reality she’s hiding from.

My Heart

Advertisements

Is alone when it’s hunting

For anything that will make it

Beat fast again.

I know the time will come

But for now I will hunt alone.

And maybe one day the hunt

Will become a chase that last a lifetime

Of my heart beating to the same beat as yours

Whoever you are.

And then there was nothing left,

his hand reaches in searching for more.

But comes up empty and he can’t believe

he ate them all.

Just twenty chips, the serving size for one and

yet he ate them all in one serving and hadn’t seen

it coming.

With nothing left to eat he was still starving for something

to full him up.

But nothing seem to come of these empty calories and, so he had

no solution to his problem.

But to find something that would turn his nothing into something

worth eating.

Water&Chocolate is what I need!

Advertisements

When I’m thirsty water is all  I need

But when I want something sweet, I crave

Chocolate and not just any kind for I  want it all.

But, I know too much chocolate isn’t always

A good thing  and I don’t like every type of chocolate

like dark chocolate just too bitter for me.

But I like milk chocolate, white chocolate.

And like water the chocolate melts down my throat as I savior

each bite.

Like water chocolate is a fresh delicious thing to put in my body

and, I’m sure as a child if my mother said to like water for a piece of

chocolate.

I would drink every last drop of that water just to have a taste of that

chocolate,my sweet tooth craved for just in that moment I would be content.

The Shadow that follows me

Advertisements

It was a windy day and as the sky got dark

All I  could see was shadows everywhere.

Shadows on the tall office buildings as I

walked past them as fast as my little legs could carry me.

But as I walked past them, they begun to pull towards me

Snaking cross the ground as fast as  they could go.

I didn’t know if I would make it to my apartment before

they got me, aren’t shadows suppose to be friendly?

Why are they following me and do I even want to find out

At this point ?

Probably not, as I swipe my card I’m in the building and I pull

The door closed just as the shadows  roll up.

When it didn’t come in I was relieved, for I was finally safe

As the shadows disappeared with a blink of my  eye I

Wonder if the wind was playing a trick on me and the shadows

Were just in my head?

That night you were

Advertisements

So patient and kind to me, you we’re earlier

I didn’t think I deserved the tendering touch.

You were giving me, for earlier I had been so cruel.

I yelled at you for forgetting something, I later discovered

I never told you to get.

For the text was never sent ,you should be mad out me for being

so upset when you won’t in the wrong.

But you just stood there looking so calm and, when I was done

you walked up to me and hugged me and said you’d go get it now.

You left and thirty minutes later you came back with the treat

I was craving and,you kissed me on the head and said everything will be okay.

I thanked you for going out and, said I was sorry for yelling for it was my fault you never got the text.

You said it’s okay and next time you will check in before coming home just in case I needed something on your way home.

And I realized that night just how lucky I am and,how crazy you’re to stick around and love me no matter what.

The Nightmare

Advertisements

It all started with me leaving the house

That night, it was so dark and silent

Too silent if you ask me but I kept walking.

As I entered the forest that night all I thought

About was this is the quickest way to your house.

But as I got deeper into the woods, I swear something

Touched my jacket.

But it was just a branch I hope, yet I couldn’t bring myself

To look back and find out.

For I’ve heard the stories of the hands and teeth that come out in

The night.

But I’ve always laughed it off for no ones really had proof to prove

If it was real.

However, as I got closer to edge and could see the light on your front porch I’ve never been so happy and relieved at the same time.

Then it happened so quick, something grabbed me and as I was jerked backward

I heard something say: “don’t fight us, you belong to us Dawn and its time to connect.”

I started to really freak out inside but I  fought smarter this time and as I ripped myself away from my old blue jean jacket.

I looked back and I saw the hands holding my jacket, they were tan human hands and above them were teeth.

Sharp teeth and they were smiling at me, and even though I knew I had to run and get away.

I knew I needed proof, so I quickly took out my phone and snapped picture after picture.

Until they came at me again, so I ran as fast as I could and I didn’t stop until you opened the door.

Peter: Dawn what’s wrong, you look like you seen a ghost and where’s your jacket its freezing out here?

Dawn: They took my jacket and I didn’t see a ghost, I saw the hands and teeth in the forest. Oh my gosh Peter the stories are true!!

Peter: No way, I’ve lived here my whole life and nothing ever got me in that forest Dawn. You must have brushed up against a branch and got scared.

Dawn: No Peter, it wasn’t a branch and i’ ve got proof to prove it too you.

Dawn pulls out her phone and shows Peter all the photos and Peter no longer doubts what she told him.

But he fears what she said the teeth said to her,for Peter’s grandmother has lived in this town all her life.

When he was little she told him  a story of her Native American tribe from the past.

And in that story the tree’s take a girl every 16 years, and use her youth to make the forest thrive for as long as she lives.

As all the pieces come together Peter knows his friend would soon be gone, he hugs her and tells her it will be okay and they must rest for the night.

When Dawn has fallen asleep, Peter goes to his grandmother to seek advice and a way to help Dawn.
