adventure on
Lauren Nicole Apr 2014
will you share in an adventure with me?
a wild and wonderful venture
bring your camera.
i'll bring my journal and hat.
we'll take to the tracks
the hidden trails in the wilderness.
ones known only to us.
adventures are the best way to learn,
and so it begins:
journey on.

daydreams
Lauren Nicole May 2014
kept inside,
full of fantasy & beauty
yet deep down
know them to be perilous
wishing for things
you can never have
or might never come to pass
dangerous
because that person
you're daydreaming
about might not be
dreaming about you.
don't awaken love until the appointed time.

fiery radiance
Lauren Nicole Apr 2014
a fiery sunset in all its splendor.
red, orange, yellow, and gold.
dark silhouette of trees afar off.
unfolding and orchestrating,
each with a unique story to tell.
a golden door opens.
swirls and shoots of colour release.
crimson droplets paint the sky.
everything stops as it blooms.
ribbons and pools of light
blanket the waters.
across the golden path you walk.
into the beacon you look.
sparkles carrying you along the way.
radiant hues reach out,
touching your fingertips.
it calls an end to the day,
and the beginning of dreams.
I never tire of watching sunsets unfold.

i care; i care a lot
Lauren Nicole Apr 2014
i notice things.
all the little details.
how you care. how you help. how you are.
it's the little details that fill you up.
little details are the most important.
and while it may not seem like it,
little details I remember most.

this and that
Lauren Nicole Sep 2014
pacing, unending pacing
back and forth, back and forth
where to go what to do
pacing, pacing back and forth
left foot right foot left
how I am moving forwards
heading onward,
when I'm pacing, back forth back
where to go what to do
pacing, pacing, back and forth
why am I venturing
on a narrow path forward?
how am I walking,
running down a straight path ahead,
instead of this way and that?
left foot right foot left
pacing, pacing back and forth,
but forwards.

so close, yet overtaken
Lauren Nicole Apr 2014
frayed and tattered thoughts clutter the corners of my reflection,
growing and straining to break through the barriers I've erected;
thriving in numbers I thought I could hold at bay,
yet the impending destruction is now a constant.

my keep's strength and support tire under the amassing weight,
reflections that wish to break through & manifest are waning;
smothered and drowned in the ambush,
so the hope of ever breaking free remains just as it was.

a dream.
undisclosed.
a frayed & tattered thought.
So many of my words are left unsaid.

take a step
Lauren Nicole May 2014
currently,
connection is outpacing
the clarity
that I'm desperately
seeking.
say something.

to whisper all
Lauren Nicole Apr 2014
thoughts exposed, exposed feelings.
are they one and the same?
an openness and vulnerability to those who see.
a risk in display.
a deep longing to share;
to share more than the little we show.
does this mean we should lay open all?
probably not.
but at the same time it's hard not to.
this I know.
