Every time I see you

When you look at me,

My heart skips a beat

When you hold me in your arms

I feel so complete

Even when it’s silent

No words are necessary

So no need to speak

You show me what

Amazing looks like

Every time I see you

The Plan

 

 

I promised myself

I’d never fall

So around my heart

I’ve built a wall

I’ve convinced myself

Love will never find me again

But destiny knew better

Just a matter of how and when  

That night you asked me on a date

To me it was just another night

Getting to know a friend

Chilling, sharing a plate

In my head I went over the rules

Telling myself to play it cool

If it seems too good

Leave reason for doubt

Be a good girl and no staying out

If sex was the question – always wait

And no kissing until at least the 2^nd date  

My rules were simple

I had a good plan

Dinner and a Movie

And a few winning hands

But then you kissed me

And everything went black

Nervously I pulled back

Trying to grasp the composure,
my emotions lack  

Your persistence I admire

Dauntingly your eyes showed desire 

I started thinking I should call It a night

But my limbs were too weak to put up a fight

You kissed me again and I slowly gave in

Right then …

I cared less who you were

Or where you’ve been

I kept thinking

We can write our destiny

Chapter One…

This is where, our story begins 

Meeting you was fate 

But falling in Love

Was never in the plan

For while emotionally

I was trying to sneak out

My untamed heart

Somehow snuck you in

You Are

You are the reason I smile

The reason, I want to make you smile
Mesmerized, chasing butterflies around my heart
The light at the end of the tunnel
That subtle tingle down my spine
 

You are the reason

For what it is I seek

Simple joys of Life,
Comfort, Love, Laughter

And all that our life together has to offer

You have become that safe spot

that I didn’t think I needed

To Love (Random Thought)

To truly love is utter madness

There is always a test of Will

Now that you’ve found it

What WILL you do to sustain

What WILL you do to maintain

What Will you do to keep it

That which you’ve set aflame ?

If you're a bird..

(My daughter pretending to be a bird)
 

My darling daughter

Every day I wake
I treasure every moment
I get to spend with you
Today, as we laugh and played
Pretending to be birds
Soaring through the air
I smiled;
Because you have no idea
How much you’ve given me
I watch you stretch your arms out
Pretending to soar
And all I could think of was
Wind
Be her wind
Might not make sense
But if you wanna be a bird
I’ll always want to be the wind
Safely beneath your wings
I’ll be the sound you hear
Whispering; its Ok to leave the edge
Giving you the freedom to fly
The courage to soar
Lifting you so high
You’ll have own view, on how to see the world
Not by anyone elses standards, but by your own
And when you’re not strong enough to fly     
I’ll be your gentle guide
And when you just want to soar
I’ll be the balance you need
And when you are tired
I’ll carry you, for as long as you need me
And no matter, how old you get
I’ll always be here
So as long as you want to be a bird
I’ll always want to be your wind.

 

Love You Eternally

~ MOM

Here and Now (Random Thought)

 

Struggling between facts and fiction
I'm lost but I'm alive
Everyone around me trying to make a statement
Then there's me
I'm just trying to survive

I wanna be.. pt. III

For everything that you have given me
I feel like I owe you forever
And if forever is what it takes
Just say the word and forever it’ll be
I wanna be so much for you
Somehow what we have going, it feels true
And of all the people I can think of
My heart screams only for you.

I wanna be the one that makes your heart light
I wanna be the one that lights up your life
I wanna be the one to ignite your smile
I wanna be the one that lingers on your mind
I wanna be the twinkle in your eye
I wanna be your only girl
Because already, I consider you my Guy

And even on days when you’re feeling down
I wanna be the one to chase away your frown
And when you feel stressed
I wanna be the one to remind you how much you’re blessed
And when you feel you can’t reach no more
I wanna be the hand, yours look for
And when things don’t go your way
I wanna be the one to say hun, things will turn out ok.
And when you feel discourage
I wanna be the voice you listen to for courage

And when you stumble upon rainy days
I wanna be the one to chase the clouds away
And when things get too tense
I wanna be the one reminding you how to play
And when all you need is a calm day
I wanna be the one, quietly beside you I'll lay
I wanna be the one that colors your world bright
And snuggles you close throughout the night
I wanna be the one you can’t wait to see
I’d never leave you lonely
For my heart tells me,
This is where...
 I wanna be

Good Morning

 




 

Good Morning

To the strings of my thoughts
The pitter patter sound that beats in my heart
The voice at the end of my screen
To the one that treats me like a Queen

There nothing more refreshing

Than waking to thoughts of you in my head
First thing when I rise
And even sweeter when I’m off to bed

What Makes you Different ?

 

What makes you different from him or I

A questions that’s been puzzling
my pessimistically skeptic mind

What makes you different?
Words I ask myself
Is it desperation to find a fault
That mentally, 
your character, I assault
 

If all men were created the same

What makes you different?
Or does it only apply
to the way you play the game?
 
What makes you different from the rest?
If I cut you will you not bleed?
If I shatter your emotions?
Will your heart not recede?
What makes you different?
Can you honestly say
that you can love
the same person always?

 

You get upset
when put in the same class, as the others from the past

But what makes you different
And what makes you think
whatever this is,
Will it last ?

What makes you different from the rest

Will you not break when put to the test
Will you walk away
Because you think its whats best
 

What makes you different I ask myself?

Can you love me for the person I want you to see
Because the person I am with you
Is better than the person I used to be

When in love, you see no end

Nothing she does can make you break or bend
But what about, when there’s not much more you can take
Will you take back your love
 and replace that with disdain or hate
 

So what makes you different from all the others I date

Your heart beats in your chest
Blood runs through your veins
Your skin may be different
But don’t you all think the same ?

After all this time

 

 

Never thought I would

Never thought I could

But now I have

And it feels good  

We met at a crossroad

But your choices I couldn’t bear

So I took my own path

Even though nothing seemed clear  

Felt like an eternity letting go

Strength is what I lacked

So afraid of the path I chose

Fear kept me looking back  

But after all this time

Never thought I'ld be here

My conscience is clear

My heart is open 

After all this time

I can pass you by

Without a tear

Or hurt inside

I've healed my pride

Lost a love

And gained
A friend.
