The moment I knew.


As I turned the corner to climb those steps,
I looked up and saw you and I lost my breath;
You took it away, as I was stunned by your stunning beauty.
I heard my heart speak, as it spoke to me…


It simply said “Wow!” and at that moment, I fell;
So the time has come for me to tell.
You were dressed in white, next to a window of light
And as I looked deep into your eyes, I saw sun shine.


I was looking for someone with fire in their eyes
And yours held the sun itself, so diamonds came to mind.
I was left speechless as you softly spoke
And as I arrived at your feet, my voice and I rose,
To speak unto you, while I was falling for you
And from that moment in time…I knew.


If I had the chance to tell you of my feelings,
I had to tell you, I have been day-dreaming,
About possibilities
And reasons why not (times infinity)…


But a single thought still remains.
What if she said “Ok Babe”…to me?
Just think of what could happen;
Just think of what could be.
Here’s to risking everything.

Nature is, what you are not.
It’s fires swallow up forests;
so new life can bloom again,
while the ocean will take back beaches;
when land grows too greedy.
River waters rush and churn,
so only the strong can grow
with the power of evolution.
You burn so soft,
as not to wake the dark, but,
your fire will wither out,
for faint flames-
stand no chance against the wind.
You won’t move forward,
yet you won’t move back,
for fear of rocking the boat.
I say,
let the waters rise,
burn through the weak,
and I will rock this **** ship.
I say,
let's take a swim,
and let the water flip and carry us away;
for you won’t get far on the shore.
I sit and let the storms rage on,
for I’m a tornado of my own.
I just hope you’ll learn that peace,
doesn’t always get the job done.
Take a risk,
rock this **** canoe
and you’ll finally find how to breath.

Sincerely yours,
Raging Fire
Inspired by so many around me that can't seem to let loose and understand that at some point you have to take a stand.

There comes a point in life
When you have to admit that
There's more sadness and pain
Than all your happiness combined

Reality can swallow us whole
If we're not careful with what we say
The things we tell ourselves and
The people that come our way

Cause I've been talking to people
Who make me feel so happy
Just trying to forget my sadness
And the things that have been happening

I'm sure you have realized this
Because making others happy
Makes us feel happy too
Just sometimes it's not what we expected

We sometimes forget that
We're not all the same
We don't all tell each other
We love them the way we want to

But the path that you choose
Right now in this moment
Makes all the difference tomorrow
When you decide to give up

Cause you didn't make an effort yesterday
Why should you make one today?
Because happiness is worth is the risk, that's why

Forget your reputation right now
Because all it does is hold you back
From getting want you want so dearly
If you want something in life you have to give everything
You have just
To get
It
Don't give up on yourself. Wherever you are struggling do everything you can to improve.  Ask others for advice on how to look at the bright side but also learn to accept facts after you are 100% sure you have given everything to that cause.

Of all the things I tried to hold on for so long
You were the one that made me believe myself that I am strong—-
        strong enough for you to forget the pain of yesterday
        strong enough for you to take all of my fears away!
I really never know that I’d come this far
After the thought of having you forever, on my side
My love, just a kiss from you could make me smile—-
a smile that will give me courage all through the while!

White slates
blank plates
isolate ....
let's relate
let emotions
delegate
risky stakes
who cares
let's ...
before it's too
late
Tessellate: decorate (a floor or pavement) with mosaics
I risk it all to have it all;
The be all and end all.
Clichés like unmutual love
Show you what I'd do for love.

She is yours and you are hers
Why pretend otherwise
Be with her
Take a gamble
I have a feeling it will be the best bet of your life
