I don’t like you
not like that
I decided that a while ago
I liked you
a lot
but then I stopped
and now I like him
but still
there’s this softness between us
I used to think
that maybe you liked me back
and I still wonder if you still do
but why would that matter to me
I don’t like you anymore
not like that
you’re still great
we’re still kind of friends
like we’ve been
but I don’t have a crush on ...
Softness is the feeling
Of warm blankets
Next to the fire place
On a cold snowy day
Softness is the shade
Where we have picnics
And chat
About the beautiful weather
Softness is the hug
From a loved one
When we are sad
Or just glad to see them
Softness is the dinner table
With family
Eating a home cooked meal
Surrounded by love
Softness is the feeling
Of comfort and compassion
Softness...
The heart can be a weapon
A very well known tool
A supporting factor
The perfect side kick
But it’s also our weak point
Our vulnerable spot
People see how kind and pure
Our heart has become
It scares them
That something can be that pure
So they attack it
They try and hurt it anyone they can
It’s a continuous cycle that will forever continue
But
We get used to it
We build those obsidian ...
There she is.
Naked.
Walking towards me from our bathroom.
It’s 8 P.M. and you can see the sun setting through the blinds.
The last of the sun’s rays cast themselves across her skin.
Smooth.
She crawls on the bed. On top of me.
My fingers caress every inch of her body.
Her skin.
Soft.
My wife....
Sunshine cascades in through my bedroom window.
I lie awake, still.
I hate these early mornings.
The everlasting softness of my bed comforts me.
I never want to leave.
I throw off the covers, a chill courses through my body.
The alarm finally ceases its incessant beeping.
I crawl back into bed, feeling Soft and Warm once again....
I have undergone a process of redemption and while I may experience moments of anger and upset, I do not consider myself to be of a soft nature. The primary distinction lies in my ability to endure pain. I encounter a range of emotions, yet fragility is not characteristic of my being. I remain steadfast in my commitment to the Holy Spirit and draw strength from my faith, even in moments of weaknes...
I see a lagoon with a lazy river
with vines and great big trees
fairies dancing below them
and monkeys swinging to and thee
Don't let the cool teal water
tempt you from your boat
for you're not the only ones here for fun
some others may be here to hunt
Watch out for the rocks
and occasional drops
but mostly for those pesky crocs
they'll wait & watch, sneak & prowl
for you never know whats...

_**I went to the eye doctor today.
Dissected more questions out of routine procedure.
Made familiar small talk with him about how school’s going and what I'm doing this summer.
Like I was the kind of girl who makes plans for nexts and afters.
Someone novel and vulgar,
stuffed full of fluffed polyester dreams.
I read the letter chart as if anything I've read has ever permeated my derogatory i...
Loneliness grips,
like a cold embrace,
Leaving behind ,
an empty space.
Dreams once cherished,
now drift away,
Hope extinguished,
in shades of gray.
Fragments of joy,
scattered and worn,
A soul adrift,
forever torn.
Oh, cruel fate,
unkind and severe,
Leaving me lost,
in despair so near.

Question of the Day:
What’s one book on your TBR you are scared to read or are putting off?
Me:...
Soft; pleasing or agreeable to the senses: bringing ease, comfort, or quiet.
The old manor came alive with the gentle sunrise.
Rays of light crept into our still bedroom as the tips of red leaved branches tapped on the glass window panes in the tender breeze.
Floorboards creaked as I pattered across the rug to the white porcelain bathtub, made private by the silk curtained dressing screen.
