wanted to pay tribute to hockey legend johnny gaudreau who died very recently in one of the few ways i can, quote is from him
***
“I’m not a grinder
I’m not a gimmick
And, in general, I’m just not a big guy
But I don’t need to be
I’m a hockey player”
it’s always been there
in your mind
hockey stick in hand
before you could walk
thinking, “i was born for this”
it’s a mantra
it sticks with you...
it’s beautiful here
quiet
peaceful
the birds fly above
they sing a song in a language i wish i knew
i wonder if birds sing about love as we do?
or heartbreak
or healing
or the magic of life
the waves crash on the beach
and leave as quickly as they came
pulled back into the sea
do they feel trapped?
do they wish to be free?
or does their return feel like coming home?
i want to come home
i am ...
“i can’t do this with you anymore”
words whispered in the dark
that shatter a heart into shards that cut deep
deep into the memories
memories of whispers
and hands between strands
of hair brushed behind ears
“i love you” in no words at all
the flutter of lips against cheeks
the laughter
the smiles
those ones that always reached the eyes
“i can’t do this with you anymore”
but it has been done...
once i felt as though
i held the world in the palm of my hand
and now i can hardly breathe
from under the weight of its crushing boot
i had everything
with no need to do anything
but now i find
i don’t know how to do much at all
i burn everything i touch
or rather, everything i make on the stove
i always used to have someone
to make my lovely meals
i never had to lift a finger
but it seems t...
years of gritted teeth
of days at the rink
and nights in the garage
firing shots at a net that’s seen better days
thrown around like a ragdoll as he climbs
tries to be better
but he just keeps getting knocked down
and now his skates hardly skim the ice
“he’s a hard worker”, they say
but hard work never seems to be enough
hard work means nothing
next to weaving hands and flashy skaters
he’s happ...
I loved you, once
When your words were still true
And your heart was still pure
I trusted you, once
When you never broke a heart
Or a solemn oath
I needed you, once
When my world fell apart
And you weren’t there to save me
I hoped for forever
But hope isn’t enough
When someone leaves you for dead
I searched far and wide
But when you were found
You’d become someone new
Someone who cheats
So...
The world was quiet as the two lay in the sand, save for the sound of waves crashing against the shore and ocean wind whistling through the air. The two lovers’ hands were intertwined, holding each other tightly as they stared up into the sky at the sparkling stars.
One’s gaze shifted downwards, towards the soft, gentle, features of the girl she loved. She thought she was unnoticed until a hand r...
The beach was alive with the sound of waves crashing against the shore, children laughing as they chased each other through the water. It may have been late, but the world was not yet dark, the sun still shining through tree branches as it began to sink down into the ocean.
The unmistakable smell of barbecue wafted through the air, a man in an apron yelling out to two young boys that dinner was r...
in the golden night
the trees became bathed in golden light
they shone from their roots to their leaves
they looked like trees in fantasy books
in the golden night
the glowing ground was a magical sight
it looked like fairy dust was sprinkled about
later upon layer of magic sparkly glow
in the golden night
the stars above shone big and bright
the sky was a painting of bursts of blue
a canvas fo...
appreciate the life you live
for any day it could disappear
and I will wrap you in my arms
and take you from the living world
into a place you could never envision
in your simple mortal mind
appreciate the people who live around you
for any moment I could take them away
somewhere you cannot see
or ever be
until your time comes to join them
live life to the fullest
for I will not take you unti...
