You never know where to begin,
How to say whats on the heart.
Just grab a paintbrush or a pencil
And somehow create art.
You don't know what to do
But you just have to start.
Before you know it
Feelings are on the page.
And some how you let go
Of the suffering or the rage.
Some how your focus
Takes center stage.
As you create the words,
And the pictures come to life;
Suddenly you release
Whatever is causing you strife.
Some how you find peace
Instead of finding a knife.

If I Could, I Would!

If I could vacuum-clean
all of the dark clouds
from the sky above your head,
I would.

If I could make the sun shine
after stopping the rain,
I would.

If I could send you
an everlasting rainbow
to brighten-up all of your days,
I would.

If I could shoot
a wishfilled falling star
your way,
I would.

For you, if I could,
I would!

By Lady R.F ©2017

A little prayer for my family and friends.
Dedicated to anyone going through hardships.
If I could, I would!
***

I truly appreciate this prayer making the daily! All thanks be to God!

Survivor's Angel

I'm sorry sweetness
For turning away,
For shutting you out
When I needed you to stay.
I searched so hard
With no words to say.
But here you are
Waiting another day.

And tomorrow may bring
Another round of clouds,
Just more thunder,
Just dark shrouds,
You silently wait
While the chaos gets loud.

When its finally over,
As I let down my wall,
You are there to hold me
As the tears fall.
And I know that it matters,
I need you most of all.

You hold me close
And keep me near,
Even though sometimes
I forget you're there.
You come back to remind me
You truly do care.

I'm sorry I forgot
How special you are.
How much that you mean,
No matter how far.
Like a guiding angel,
My sweet shooting star.

I know it gets better,
That must be true.
I wouldn't believe it
If I didn't have you.
I hope you don't forget,
I'm here for you too.

a drop in the bucket

A drop in the bucket
Just another ounce of pain
Sometimes it's a drizzle
Sometimes it's heavy rain

I try to block these days
Whenever they come about
But you can't fight the storm
Just stay and wait it out

So I shut myself off
And stay in my bed
Until the monsters stop saying
You're better off dead

Another day wasted
Stuck in my head
Hopefully tomorrow is better
And not full of dread

The hardest part
Of staying in seclusion
Is watching your loved ones faces
Pained with worry and confusion

But the storm clouds do pass
And when I see the light
I do anything, everything
To make things right

I know the winds keep howling
And the cold just won't cease
But winter can't last forever
And spring means peace

I miss the sun and it's warmth
I miss hope and spring
The flowers give me joy
As the birds softly sing

As the grass grows back
As the trees aren't so bare
I hope to see happiness
And others who care

For anyone else
Who struggles like me
Please hold on to tomorrow
It will be better, you'll see

-

Please do not think I will run from your anxieties.
In fact I will do entirely the opposite.
I will open the door,
I will invite them in,
And I will stand there, strong, steadfast, stouthearted
And I will stare them in the face.
Not for you, but with you, hand in hand.
I will be there at the end of the day to tell you you're amazing.
And that all those things you think make you weak, prove just how strong you are.
I'm not saying we'll move mountains together, I am telling you that despite the rain, the sunshine, the rocky terrain, the laughter, the tears, the heartache, the pain, I will be here, time and time again.
To remind you
That every time you walk into a room, you don't just light it up,
You set it on fire.

I won't ever stop trying to build bridges over the canyons in your soul.

Alimere

Alimere

The name rolls off my tongue
Like a secret I can't keep
I hold you close
As I fall asleep

Alimere

You slip into my dreams
Lace skirts twirl in moonlight
You captivate me
But escape by sunlight

Alimere*

The future whispers
And I long for the day
Speak again my love,
I beckon you to stay

My Mess

"Love doesn't find you at your best,
It finds you in your mess."
A fact I know is true
Because that's when I found you.

At the brink of self destruction,
You came prepared for reconstruction.
Looking at the broken pieces
You kissed at the seams and creases.

Every message, every word
Gave me hope I never heard.
Every truth said to my heart
Gave me inspiration to create art.

And now I smile with arms open wide,
It's your scars you try to hide.
But love doesn't flee or stray,
Insecurity will not chase me away.

You search and search for who you are,
Afraid of every flaw and scar,
But all I see is amazing light,
A fire in my heart that burns so bright.

If distance can't put our love to the test,
We can rise above the rest.
And as you search and change and grow,
I will be here and you will know;

Being strange is your greatest feature,
You are a beautiful, unique, amazing creature.
If you feel a mess that's fine,
I'll still do whatever to make you mine.

One day our love will take flight,
Our broken pieces spooned tight.
I'll love you forever if you'll have me.
I love you for you, you're my Sophie.
