Maybe, life is not all about this.

I try to cultivate my relationships
mostly surrounding this gift.

and...
Unless you're down with me
at that moment,

Truth is...
I would abandon you in a heartbeat
for the company of writers & poets

with the exception of "Love" that is...

After The Storm

After The Storm...

The waves are no longer rushing,
All I hear is silence.
I have peace again!

The parts of me once scattered,
Now, putting themselves back in place.

The dusk no longer creating a smoke screen,
My vision is clear.

My eyes still a glow,
A smile ever so bright,
My hope never lost.

I wrap my arms around myself.
There is “Freedom” in self love.*

I was in a very confused space when I wrote this piece. It's amazing to look back a few years later and think, what the heck was I going through? Nevertheless makes for a good write.

Traces of Residue~

Saw you in the distance I begin to sigh.

Fears of outbursts and screams held inside.

I'm still affected by you after all this time, why?

Vaguely I see, traces of your residue left on me.

Your touch on my face,

Your gentle embrace,

How your finger rubs against my ear,

Who knew that spot existed?

A simple touch sparks electricity within me,
how I miss it!

I’m thinking of you,

You don’t have a clue.

I guess...
You are to me,
what I am to you,

Mere 'Traces of Residue.'

Only In My Mind~

Today I wrote a piece three times in my head.

Vividly,
each version more sad than the one before it.

Too sad to write.

Too sad to share.

Too sad to put in a diary
where it suppose to be safe.

Because,
I don't want to take a chance that I would ever see this again!

I don't know why I feel the way I do.

Could it be my assumptions, exaggerated?

Maybe it's the truth, I don't know.

Either way,
if it's just my imagination,

It shall remain in my head... unwritten!

As the thoughts went away, my conscious became clear and now I feel so much better.

Untitled

I read a significant amount of poetry each day.

It does not matter if their telling a story, sharing their story or that of a friend.

I don't care if their completely ******* in their feelings... I get it!

It does not matter if their on earth, another planet or in the skies....

We can be some where and everywhere at the same time.

and

I don't care if their
off the wall,
completely insane,
love stricken,
obsessed in love,
obsessed in hate,
belligerent,
spiritual or sane.

Understand

Most of us, is one, if not all of these things.

I praise the creative minds who is able to bare what infects their souls to a world of judges, strangers and on lookers.

My thoughts this morning...

Yhama ButterFly Mar 2014

"They Say"

They say... *love
is all a person needs to exist in this life.

Perhaps I'm in need
because, with you
my heart does not beat the same.

The beats thumps in two instead of one,
patiently I wait,
until you notice I’m the one.

I have a JONES for you,
It works over-time.

and... it's hard to resist
having you on my mind all day.

Anxiously I wait for a clue
You're feeling me too,
but, I can't be sure.

Anything I can draw from you,
I may misconstrue.

I want to embrace
your handsome display,
sample, even have a taste.

Being in love it’s a risky place,
Its vibes can lead you astray,

I can't be too sure because...

that's what "They Say!"**

Poison~

Like the dew in the morning,

gently rest upon my heart.

Instead,

You filled each drop with poison.

Now, I lay here
dying a slow death.

With my last thoughts
I Remember...

How I loved you,
How you once loved me,

with my final breaths,

I say to you,

'You' are forgiven, completely.*
