Carpe diem
Seize the day.

Learning to live each day.

Daring to dream each day.

Living life each day.

Trying again each day.

Falling in love each day.

Falling out of love each day.

Taking a journey each day.

Remembering to laugh each day.

Healing each day.

Forgiving each day.

Repenting each day.

Praying for guidance each day.

Striving each day.

Creating memories each day.

Starting again each day. . .

Learning to *seize the day.


Carpe diem.

Breaking
Can you keep a secret?
I am breaking
I am breaking every single day
I smile and laugh and love life when I'm around people
Then I go home and feel so alone.

I don't have June and the rafts and battleship
I don't have July and the sweet stars and music
And I don't even have August and the water.

Summer died a long time ago
Now it is February and I am broken.

Love.
Heartbreak.
Love.
Heartbreak.

The same story
Occurred a million
(And one)
Times in just
One year.

I rise,
And fall.
Rise,
And fall.

I feel like
My heart is
Full
Of
Dust.

Did I get it
Broken
Too
Many
Times?

I love
Too easily.
I trust
Too much.
I forgive
Too quickly.

Just for
A moment
I feel
Alone.

Then I get
Up
Off
Of
The
Ground,
And I
Sing,
And laugh,
And just
Remember
Who I am.

I'm
Special.

God
Made
Me
That
Way.

I remember that
He
Loves me.

That's all
That I
Need.

the way
the ice felt
beneath my tires
scared me
a lot

but

it felt
so
wonderful

that rush
of adrenaline
felt
so
good

i don't
feel that
enough

it felt
so good
to lose it

just for
a
moment

A very fat pug was almost successful in ******* me tonight.

Now that was an awkward moment.

I am awkward.
Ya, I admit it.

I don't know how to talk to you
And it hurts when you don't talk to me.

I wish I had that beautiful red hair
... You seem to like those.

It's hard when there are days
That I feel like it's so easy
And I want to be with you,
So badly.

Ya, I'm awkward
But that's just one of my quirks

But, you know...

I'm not always awkward.

I just don't know
How to put into words
What I feel about you.

I'm rather infatuated with you...
It's not that big of a secret.

My teacher told me that you can't fix a broken person...

And yet, I want to fix you.

I wish I could love you.

But, I can't.

You have to fix yourself because I can't do it for you...

I see that now.

Who We Are
The slamming of doors
The distant drums
The feather dancing in the wind
The echoed cries
The kiss goodbye
As fire plays on their tongues.

The world is forgotten
Their dreams scream
Of days to come
And days long gone.

They lived in their world
Never looked out
But always on
The sights they saw
Were forever.

They were young
Knew nothing of the world
That existed beyond their own imaginations
They couldn't see
How innocent they were.

Until one day the real world slapped them
Cold, hard, and unforgiving.

Their silence was broken
And they fought.

They fought for their rights
They fought for that world that they knew
And loved.

The outside world tried with all of its energy
To tear the Lovers apart.

But Love?

Love is not a game
Love is not something to toy with
Love is what makes us who we are.

We are the Lovers.

Even when the world tries to make us hard
We must remember the kindling of hope
The small light that is within us.

Then, when Love comes again
That hope will ignite for the world to see
To feel the warmth of our blaze
And remember what Love is.

Because Love?

Love is who we are.

A Place in My Heart
I guess your outstretched hand has disappeared and it's time for me to continue on my journey.
I'll meet new people, and I will love them a lot, but I'll always remember the moments with you, and you, and you. . . and even you too.

If you feel like you're missing me, just run a little ways, I won't be very far.

I'm trying to enjoy this journey.
I only get one shot at it you know.

I'll try to remember to think about impossible things and I'll try to read lots of good smelling books.
I'll go to New York City and feel so lovely going to the ballet.
Maybe I'll start writing letters and throwing pebbles at windows.
I'll smile a lot and love deeply.
I'll trust in God.
I'll walk confidently and I'll try to be classy.
I'll sing everywhere I go and I will love.

Oh, I will fall in love with somebody, someday.

He will be more than I could ever dream of.

I will always love him with every bit of my soul, but I'll always have a place in my heart for you too, because love is more than one person or thing.

Love is everlasting and eternal and so. . .

I will always love you.

Childhood
Where have you gone, Beautiful Darling?
Have you gone to have tea with the stars and moon?
Have you run away to Wonderland?
Have you stolen a kiss from imagination?

Do you remember me?

Please, take me with you to the land of dreams. Take me back to when I didn't have to worry about school, or boys, or friends, or family, or every little thing that goes wrong. Show me how to close my eyes and to believe in impossible things. Help me to slow down and enjoy your company. To breath in the cool night air. Just hold my hand tight and walk with me. We don't need to talk, just stroll.

You and me, me and you. Just us.

Take me back to childhood.

Take me home.

— The End —
