Daily Prompt: Homage

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.

He was in a daze after witnessing the grown man acting up in the store.

He couldn’t see why the man was being so ugly and cruel towards him but he didn’t let his bad mood ruin his day.

He kept moving forward and but when he would slow down and let himself think about it, he just kept shaking his head because he just couldn’t believe it.

And later on once home from work he just sat in a daze trying to figure it all out but could not see a clear way that he made a mistake to bring on the cruel mood of that man.

Friendship

Our friendship is something I look forward to

the talks we share are so great and the time invested  into this friendship

is the reason it hasn’t fallen apart like the rest.

I don’t take you for granted and I care about the things that are going on with you rather they are small or large.

I have your back even when you just want to be alone and just want to do everything on your own.

I tell you to not go down the same path I went for some times I feel so hollow inside and time has not yet healed those wounds of my mistakes.

You are my fresh air when life just feels like I can’t breathe anymore, you are the strength I lean on when the world’s ugliness is just too much for me to handle.

You are my light when the darkness is all I see in my life and every where I go.

You are my antidote to the poison of this world that tries to bring me down now and then.

I knew talking him would just be a minute of his time for he was always so busy

and the time he had to give out was growing fewer these days.

I quickly said hello and then spilled out everything that I had felt and had gone through  these past couple of days.

And then like lightning you were gone off to tend to the list of responsibilities you had to get done.

And in the moment I hoped you’d  come back later and say something, as the day went on I tried to keep you off my mind as much as possible.

I soon lost myself in a book while listening to some music and didn’t hear you knocking on my door.

It wasn’t until my phone lite up and your name was on my scene did I pause my music and answered my phone.

You asked if I was home and I said yes, you said then open the door please and I smiled knowing you would show up tonight.

We talked as the night faded away into the morning and until we just fall asleep, the next morning I woke up and you were still around and I feared you were late for something.

So I woke you and you smiled at me and wrapped me in your arms, I leaned into you and asked if you had to be somewhere and I didn’t mean to make you over-sleep.

You smiled and said there was no place you needed to be then right here with me and that everything else could wait.

For today was ours to enjoy and explore and remember and cherish for a lifetime.

Let’s go to somewhere far away before this summer ends, even though we haven’t really had a break this summer.

Let’s just go away and lose ourselves before things really get busy and time just seems to be moving too fast for us to even think about slowing down again.

Let’s sing our favorite songs until we can’t stop laughing about the time we did that and how young and silly we were.

Daily Prompt: Shimmer

I always enjoyed watching the sun shimmer on top of the water

as a child I thought it was magic for I didn’t know there was more too it.

It was just so beautiful and something that enhanced the beautiful calm flow of the river

as we walked in the shallow water of the river that day.

I would always splash you and you would always play like it pissed you off.

But, then I would look away and you would always splash me back and this would go on and on.

Until we would go home and change out of our wet clothes and eat a good meal.

he desired her like one craved a good meal

after a long day at work.

At first he will try to resistant his desire that seems to

overcome him.

Day and night because she was the only one for him and he

stayed faithful to her no matter how some tempted his desire to no end.

But, he was strong and loyal and honest to no end for he knew the way things

will go and how they would end.

She sat in the audience

waiting for her favorite band to perform.

As they came on stage she screamed with the crowd

and as they song all her favorite songs together they harmonize each note on point.

You couldn’t tell where one member ended and the other begun.

It was beautiful and amazing and exciting at the same time to hear them live and in the moment she didn’t think life could get any better.

Until she got an autograph picture of her standing with them that night in front of the stage.

Even though its been years  since that day, she still smiles so wide every time she sees that picture.

Love

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.

I want to savor your taste

like a well aged wine.

The taste so pure and delicious

that the memories always stay so fresh.

I can go over them in mind over and over again

for I will always keep them dear to my heart.

You always seem so quiet

but that day you were like a

savage animal and no matter.

How much we tried to calm you down

you just became too much to handle.

And we had to step back and let you go

and hope the next people who helped you.

Got through to you for everything we tried

just made you angry and untamable.

When will

mywords2228

it end sooner or later

will I even know when the days start to seem different

like shorter because I’m sleeping more.

Or will it all seem longer as I read more and get lost in what’s in front of me and not in everything  going on around me as it all just fades away.

And I’m all alone before I know what happened and maybe at first it will be sad but

over time it will just become my new normal and maybe over time I will accept that and move on.

Will I know when the time will come or will it just happen and I just happen to wake up one day and know everything is different.

And I feel different and only a few things make me feel connected to this world but all the worldly things just don’t do it for me anymore.

I just don’t feel that desire to crave the things that everyone else is looking forward too and then I wonder what I am I looking forward too.

When will I know this is it and there is nothing to go back too and I don’t feel sad about the things that I’ve left behind and the things that left me behind.

I’ll finally be at a place in my life where all that I thought I needed was never  mine and all that I have now is all that I ever needed.

He darted from around the corner like something was on fire

I walked slowly and looked around the corner

to see what is going on.

Only to have to walk a little farther and see ripped up paper on the ground

and my dog sitting on the couch like he did nothing and the paper was always that way.

Lesson learned don’t take your eye off a dog that loves to rip things up and does it only when you think his with someone else playing.

But, should know better because everything just became too quiet around this house.

I didn’t want to coward away when you

came around but the thought of you so close.

Took all my courage away from me and I just couldn’t

see the outcome of what today would  be like.

Every screen that played out in my mind just didn’t

end well and I just couldn’t bear to see if my fear and embarrassment came true.

So I ran away before you came near and even though you said hi before

I got away, I just couldn’t stay.

And even later when they told me you looked confused and hurt at the same time, I knew I had to apologies but I just didn’t know how too.

But, at the end of the night I guess you gave me no choice as I drove up to the house there you were waiting for me and excuse to why I ran the way I did.

Daily Prompt: Commit

I commit to you not just today

but every moment of my life.

I owe you everything for you saved me

and you keep saving me.

I’m lost without you and I struggle with you but

that’s only because you want me to learn and do better.

And how can I grow if everything is easy and not complicated, You lift me up and committing to you comes easy to me now.

I’ve become someone because of you and my worth was defined before I opened my eyes and entered into this world.

I am who  I am supposed to be because of you and I won’t stop writing and believing because you fuel me when I can’t seem to function without you.

Getting by day by day without you on mind and without you in my heart is like living in this world but walking around like a zombie with no purpose or direction.

Always hungry for something to fill me up but it won’t happen because you are the reason I feel complete now.

No longer feeling lost looking for something or someone to fill up the emptiness inside of me only to be disappointed when the emptiness is still there and growing bigger.

And no amount of time is making it better and I grew completely clueless and hopeless and dramatic.

But, one day you helped me finally wake up and walk away from the life I thought was the right one.

So today I commit to you Lord and only you, for without you nothing else would really matter or hold an interest.
