Daily Prompt: Homage

mywords2228

To praise him is like taking a deep breath and then jumping from a cliff

and knowing that when you fall into the water you would be safe.

He makes me feel alive and that tough days are worth it in the end and there will always be light at the end of my tunnels in my lifetime.

I find myself  more and more each day when I listen to the music that praises you.

Who are you they ask?

You are my God, you are my father, my protector, my healer, my biggest supporter, and my life saver.

You are the reason I keep writing and the reason I keep going when life gets tough because without you the demons in my life would win and I wouldn’t be who I am today.

My past would still haunt me night and day and there would be no escape for me, no outlet to pour all those fears and pain into.

I wouldn’t be as strong as I am today without your strength, without your love because your love is greater than any love this world could ever offer me.

I praise you today and for the rest of my life and no one not even the devil can tear me away from you because nothing can ever have a hold on me like you do.

How can I

mywords2228

put someone else in front of you

when all I keep doing is having dreams of you.

What do they mean when  I know the possibility of them becoming true is 100% not possible.

And I’m fine about that because you’re not on the table anymore and I can put whoever

I want above you and have them erase the memories of you so quickly.

I would be like you never exist to me and I’d be fine with that.

I have come around so much since you’ve been gone and I don’t doubt the things I do or say anymore.

No sadness always around me like a bad mood you just can’t shake after someone just ruined your sunny day.

I had those feelings for you but now I have those feelings for myself for I choose to love myself so when the right person comes around I will know who is worth my time.

And that I’m worth whoever comes my way but it’s always up to me if I want to explore the possibilities of it becoming more than it could be.

 

You were always my partner in crime

You were never scared of the things in this life.

That others feared like where would they end up in life

would they ever amount too much in the end.

You always knew that no matter what you end up during you would

do it to the best of your abilities.

You and I went on such great adventures that those memories will last

a lifetime for me.

Love

mywords2228

Should I stop to love you

or should I keep moving forward.

Are you a missing key to the answer

I seek behind the doors that are yet opened to me

and should I wait around for them to open.

Or should I move forward and just keep going until I

find a door that is already open and ready for me to

explore.

Maybe one day I will stop and let you love me but for now

I don’t want to be tied down or just maybe I’m not ready for the love to turn sour before my eyes.

Daily Prompt: Tender

mywords2228

He knew he had to be gentle with her or he would lose her.

she was like a flower when she felt shy or overwhelmed she would be closed off.

And when she felt relaxed and happy, she would bloom and it would be such a wonderful sight to see.

Her smile alone had his heart beating fast it would take more than a couple of deep breaths to calm his nerves.

He decided one day that he would risk it all just for her to smile for him.

And so he took small steps here and there and she wa slowly coming around to him.

And with one simple tender kiss he won her over for a lifetime of happiness.

He was the perfect balance for her to finally break out her shell.

Falling

mywords2228

Your voice got me falling all over again

and I know this time I won’t have to worry about the end.

For living in the moment is all I can take right now

I’m floating on air and the music playing around me as we do our dance.

Is ever lasting and I just feel like I can do this dance all day and night and never

grow tired.

As I look into your eyes I see hope and so much joy shining through as your laughter and my mix together to make the most beautiful sound.

Were both so full of life that this moment could be all we have and I would be so happy just reliving it over and over in my memories.

I know that today could be our last and so I don’t want to waste it fighting over anything but just breathing in the fresh air and running inside for some warmth.

Today will be spent the right way and no cold air can freeze this loving moment we have together.

As the words pour out your mouth and I catch them all and tuck them away in a special place in my mind.

I smile up and you and I know falling for you this time will be my last for the happiness I gained with you could last for a lifetime.

A lifetime I willing to fight with you if only those words are true.

The Flame

mywords2228

of my warmth is slowly burning out as you look at the glow in my eyes fade

will you remember how wonderful I was as I walked around like an empty shell.

You will try to open me up and find out where it all went wrong, a wall of ultimate strength will block you from finding me.

You will try with all you might to break through because you promised that you would always help me find my way back when life gets to be too much.

You sweat, swear, and cry as you pound away at this wall, barely making a scratch at first.

It takes days and hours to chip away at it but finally after a long week of beating it down you finally slip inside and find me curled up into a ball.

Your warmth lights the fire in me again and we come back to reality.

My walls are forever broken by the love you have for me.

Love you want to last a lifetime but only if I believe and trust in you.

And so, you put out your hand and I choice to hold on to you no matter what comes our way

for you are my protector now and the only thing keeping evil out of me.

Daily Prompt: Conquer

mywords2228

You conquered my soul, my heart that day

Nothing seemed to shine brighter than you.

Your smile won me over as you opened your arms up to me

You whispered away my fears and the things that hurt me.

You said as long as you lived I would be safe in your arms and I believed you,

even though I didn’t deserve your heart or soul you gave it to me freely.

I never thought I would love to smile this much but no matter what I did you made me laugh and safe at the same time.

You got me before you knew everything about me  and, I felt like this battle  I never wanted someone to win was conquered.

And I never felt so alive and in the end the love we shared was pure and true, and even though there are days when I fight against  you.

I always end up fighting beside you for no one can break what we have and this battle before us will be conquered together until our time together is over.

Daily Prompt: Luck

mywords2228

Luck some depend on you yo help them get through the day when they know all may fail.

But, luck you are not my first thought of the day.

Your not the one I depend on to have a great day or give me the strength to do the right thing throughout my day.

But, it is nice to feel lucky about something.

But, I won’t bet my luck on everything working out in the end.

So it’s nice knowing  that luck is out there but is it really luck that is helping you out in the end?

I’d like to say I’m lucky to have God and my family, and friends in my life.

For if I didn’t have them what luck would I have to get through life.

I wouldn’t have the energy to keep fighting this battle called life.

So I  think I’ll keep my type of luck and keep hoping that the results will be worth it.

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.

Happy Valentine’s day

mywords2228

This day is just another day to some people because their love

is shared with each other every day.

Today maybe they put just a little more touch to the love they have for their other half

backing the love that is so divine and unconditional and just down right unexplainable.

The words and actions they may be able to do, sometimes still doesn’t measure how they feel for that person.

Today may go by quickly but tomorrow the memories will have settled and nothing they could do would make you stop loving them.

But, only time will tell if it was all for show or they will continue to wow you with their love for love isn’t something that simple lasts a day with them.

They are committed to the relationship and the growth and everyday to them is day to share and treasure the love they have for you.

So enjoy today whether your single or in a relationship for the love you have for yourself and others is just as important today as it was yesterday.

Joyful

mywords2228

Thinking about you brings so much joy to me that I wonder is something really happening between us, as I look deeply into your eyes I begin to see it all play out in front of me.

As I hear the beating of my heart match the beating of your heart, I realize we only have this time together.

Before life rips us apart and our time split in so many ways it will be a miracle if we see each other again.

But, even apart my thoughts always lead back to you and when time gives me a break I’m there for you and I always lose track of time after that.

But, I know no second or minute, or hour is wasted when it’s spent on helping you.

I want to

mywords2228

disappear when you are  near me.

But, invisibility isn’t a trait I’ve developed and so every time you come around I try with all my might not to turn into jello.

I want to act normal and not feel like when you’re around I can’t seem to stop the fast beating of my heart.

The slowness of the time we spend together but some how you seem so calm and collected.

You smile and the wood inside of me catches fire and warmth spreads inside of me and the coldness of the winter soon fades from my mind.

You dance around me like the flames of the fire dancing around inside of me, your movement so smooth and defined.

You are the bright star I’ve been looking for every night I look up at the sky and wonder what is it that’s missing from my life.

You came out of nowhere and you stamped your claim on my life, my heart before I could blink an eye.

And you made it clear you won’t going anywhere and in my heart and my mind I believed and trusted your word.

Merry Christmas

mywords2228

I hope everyone had a great day and realized today was not just about gifts but spending time with the ones they love and cherishing the memories made today.

Some of us know today is about Jesus and celebrating his birthday and realizing life wouldn’t be as great if it wasn’t for him.

Today is great whether you celebrate it for the lord or for just spending time with the people you love.

Just be grateful that you got to take the time out and spend some love and joy.

What love will be like in 100 years?

mywords2228

Could you imagine being together for 100 years, if only we lived long enough.

I would hope that it would delight us to still see each other every day and moment.

We would always look back on the times that were so great and treasure you and remember the moments of sadness. When he healed from past hire and I knowledge 

But, wait what if once we got to 90 years together that the last ten bringing us closer to 100 Would heal our weak bones? 

And we would feel so young together again and maybe then we could bear through the greatest love of a lifetime.

100 years together would be maybe too long, but only time would tell if it would all workout.

Reckless

mywords2228

I want to be reckless and get lost in you

to feel my hair in the wind.

I want to stand in the rain with you and focus on nothing but you as the rain washing over us.

To have the moments when time doesn’t matter or exist because were together.

To wake up in the morning  knowing it was not just a dream but,this is how my life will be for a life time.

For I’m yours and your mine and together we will always have our reckless, silly moments together.
