Quiet

I am

Sometimes I don’t have much to say.

In silence I stand watching the world around me.

Not much to say as I disappear into my mind and think before I say something.

But, at the same time I like the quite moments when no one is making a sound.

And all is quiet

As if everyone is sleeping and I’m up just enjoying the world for what it is.

The moon shining down on me as the noise of the world start to fade as we all become so tired that our eyes can’t bare to stay open for another moment.

So quite it is as the music plays in my ears and nothing outside or around me can be heard and, I’m at peace and I’m at home.

With no care in the world I welcome the quite moments and, fade into the world where no ones else voice is heard.

For just a moment I find the missing pieces of who I am and, I thank the quite for granted me the truth I need to see.

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.

A place to go to when I’m in trouble

A place that wraps me up that I feel so safe

at night.

A place to go to when I know I can’t do it on my own.

A place I go to with my lord and when I’m done talking to him.

I always feel so much better and whole again.

A place that is like my home and is always safe.

My sanctuary is the place I want to be when it becomes too much or I’m troubled.

Daily Prompt: Pleasure

It is my pleasure to know you

with  lips that remind me of Cherries that are so delicious that I just want a taste.

Your voice is smooth like ice cream and only cold when you’re in a bad mood.

Your eyes are nice brown that melts me like chocolate on a hot day or when you pop a piece in your mouth and it melts instantly.

wrapped in your arms is my favorite place to be.

When I’m with you I’m me, comfortable and confident and always with a smile on my face.

It will always be my pleasure to know you, to love you and to always waking up knowing your mine forever.

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.

Caught up in the Moment!

Your eyes are close as you sing from your heart and soul

and, I can’t seem to focus on anything else.

As the beautiful melody flows out of your mouth

and I’m in wonder, how such a beautiful voice can out shine it all.

It makes me wish for a moment that I could sound so pure and electrifying all at once,

I wonder if you feel everything bubble up inside of you as you release it all.

Your  troubles of the week, month, lifetime and when your done there is nothing left

but, the feeling of you letting it all go and now the heavy weight that was on your shoulder is gone for good.

Being able to sing with all of you on the line is one of my favorite things to witness or listen to.

Just knowing I’m able to feel the connection of what you felt that day, that moment is forever amazing to me.

Daily Prompt: Vision

mywords2228

My vision of who I want to be isn’t clear.

But my vision to see myself for who I am

is some what clear.

For I know my personality and my character

and yet I still question myself at the end of the day.

If my vision was clear and the path my life is to be on

I had known from the start.

Would I really be looking at the other things in life?

Or would I be so focus on what I must do, that I don’t slow down

and enjoy the things that are just breath-taking, or allow myself to take steps that are off course but worth stopping for.

My vision of how my life will be or could be is unclear

but my vision of being able to see so much beauty and experience

many things in life by seeing them so clear is so bright and expanding.

Maybe the vision of my life will become clear for me one day, but for now

I sit here and enjoy all the distractions.

Why the Sun is

mywords2228

Splendid a thousand times over

It’s beautifully bright and it has the ability to

Create sunsets and sunrise.

And the ability to take your breath away, and

When the red sun comes around everyone wants

To stay up or get up early to see it and if lucky take a picture of it.

The sun is something we learn about and study for we need to understand it.

The sun can be great help when taking a photo and you want that natural lighting.

It brings light into your dark mornings of getting up early for

Work or it just shines into your room when you needed some light in your life.

The sun is splendid and just something to look forward to every day and always puts a smile on my face.

I’ll keep enjoying the sun a thousand times more each and everyday, week and month.

I’m just me and your just you!

mywords2228

I see you and your smile captures me

And I fall just a little bit inside.

But I take my time to figure you out

So I truly know who’ve I’ve fallen for.

Things  start out like a dream that I’ve

Been able to live in everyday, oh lucky me.

Soon reality kicks in and everything takes a

rough spin and nothing seems to be able to stop

This pain  that has no end.

And when it ends, sadness is over flowing but

Soon your words left behind give me strength.

To go on with a smile on my face and a laugh

Waiting to escape my lips again one day.

But today is bright, and I owe it all to the time

I had with you.

Daily Prompt: Scars

My scars run through me like the blood

Flowing through my veins.

I know every detail about my scars

Like there my childhood friends.

One scar I have because I didn’t listen

As a child when told not to scratch my

Chickenpox.

But it itches was all on my mind back than,

Now my scars aren’t so innocent but I don’t

regret them for they show how strong I am now.

Daily Prompt:Crossroads

mywords2228

I have come to many crossroads in my life

and some how I choose a path that just circles

me back to the road I’ve been on before.

I’m lead down the right road and I find

hope once again and then I stumble and I fall flat on my face.

I roll over and look up at the sky and I wonder how it all went wrong again.

Oh, how my crossroads lead me to growth which then leads to me always end up standing still.

Stuck in a time and place I don’t know how to find my way out without running

away.

This time my crossroads lead me to a new place that was full of joy, hope and I

didn’t know what would become of me at this point, but I hoped the feeling of endless joy.

Would supply me through whatever was thrown at me and I would for once keep moving

and not be stuck in the crossroad I had grown to love and cherish for now.

Is it possible

mywords2228

That you think this is not possible because your scared?

Is it possible that something like this could be real and it all started with words then action?

Is it possible for you to wait longer and not give up hope?

Is it possible that time will fix this situation?

Is it possible that while your gone that you will forget and move one without looking back?

Is it possible that you will be more human and less robotic when it comes to expressing yourself?

Is it possible your shy and you don’t even know it?

Is it possible to write anymore about you without you knowing it’s about u?

Is it possible your waiting for the feeling to not be so painful so you can move on?

Is it possible you can’t stop thinking about her?

Is it possible you shut down when someone gets to close and you feel threaten or intimated ?

Is it possible to ever truly get it all from you and feel the possibility that what I felt at the beginning when I felt it was possibly with u is true?

Daily Prompt: Locked

mywords2228

I’m locked out of this world a place we call home

A place that keeps us warm when we are cold.

A place that sometimes feels welcoming and other

times a place we feel like an outsider.

Being locked out isn’t so bad this time around

for it’s so nice outside that maybe I’ll take a walk.

The sun is shining and the flowers are blooming, and

the bugs are all around but even they can’t ruin my good mood.

I welcome being locked out today, for looking in on the outside

isn’t so bad today.

Here I am

mywords2228

with my  arms wide open

ready to let it all in.

I’m not afraid to put it

out there my words, myself.

As the sun shines down on this day

I am who I am suppose to be and I’m

so full with truth, with love and understanding today.

That I feel like I could burst any minute now and

shower you all with the light and joy inside me

that I want to smile at you all.

And hope my smile just breaks through the sadness,

the disappointment, the loneliness or whatever emotions

your feeling.

And make you feel like even when you feel like it’s too much that

I’m here a friend, who may be a stranger but true to knowing life

may not bring a smile to your face everyday.

But that you can pocket my smile, and my joy, my light and pull it out

when you feel yours isn’t quite strong enough today.

Daily Prompt: Giggle

WordPress Daily Prompt for yesterday.

You make me giggle

when we chase each other

around.

Like children again  we have nothing in the world to worry about.

When simple giggles are all we shared.

we’d roll around in the grass not caring if we get dirty.

Just glad to spend time together and to let the giggles fly around.

Until we realize we’re not young anymore, but let’s not let the giggles die away just because of our age.
