Out the Blue

Why does everything seem so clear

when it hasn’t happened yet

Why does that one moment from the past

now define what the future could be.

How is it so possible to remember everything from a smile,

to the way he touched you.

Out the clear blue sea

he came out of nowhere.

Why this vision came up at the weirdest time

Which doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s going to happen.

and it could be something of delusional.

One thing for sure, don’t get it twisted

cause it’s the real thing.

It was always you

I can remember the first time I met you

it almost seemed like yesterday

but yesterday just wasn’t our time to be together

and both of us knew it

that no words had to be said

we just went our separate ways

and if our paths ever crossed again

then in an instant we would both know

That now you are the one person that I think about the most

our encounter was so brief

that it was so meant to be

that now it’s worth taking the risk

of knowing it was you all a long

When that day comes

this will be the love we both waited for a lifetime.

Thinking about the warmth of your hug

the smile that the whole world can see in one picture

and a kiss so sacred that it will no longer be called lust

for once everything will fall into place

so that we can build a house into our home.

time to grow

5-things-emotional-fog_thumb

feel the sun or is it shame

in the end it’s me to blame

trivial past I can”t let win

take this life and give it a spin

blinders off I see it all

hopefully tomorrow I will not fall

broken reverse its forward I go

no stopping now I have to grow

Lessons

A nasty case of med toxicity
has kept me far from here and from myself.
I’ve had to store some days upon the shelf
to rest and garner usual energy.

I had two seizures, unexpected foes,
and was set back. Three months and seven years
had passed since last one, and my neuro-gears
announced their need for oil. I hit the lows,

and climb back up the mountaintop is steep.
So topsy-turvy and chaotic life
has been with tangles of this angst and strife
that I have taken leave awhile. From deep

dark neurologic places I return.
A seizure teaches lessons I must learn.

in the wings

thCADWZMMJ

they seemed to meet quite by accident
but something in their eyes told them otherwise
this wouldn’t be their first conversation
but it always felt like it could be the last

like a patient who knows their time is near
with so many faces yet to see
and confessions to make
and sunsets to end

their now daily talks lasted for hours
even after they left that little cafe
feverishly texting on the bus back home
sometimes through the hush of their night

they would talk of paintings, songs and poetry
any silly thing as long as there was a reply
the hold on each other so tenuous
an undertow the pull of fear as real

he not so accidently brushed her hand on the table
she instinctively recoiled placing it on her lap
she apologized quickly she was sorry
but regretted showing him so much

his practiced stoic reaction said little
this time his heart tried valiantly to follow
‘but isn’t that how it always goes?’
setting a few more bricks in the wall

he was a little braver than she was
or maybe his clock was just ticking faster than hers
he said the words that they both feared
and knew it was wrong the moment he spoke

two hearts waiting in the wings
for love to speak and heal their pain
all the words they shared between them
could not help them say goodbye
.
.

a great big hug to my daughter for sharing this song yesterday,
please feel free to listen to it as a soundtrack as i did writing.

sad way

thCAW0NR7V

often in
vulnerable
moments

or any
random
millisecond

in
the
tiniest

stain

scent

syllable

spark

igniting its
p a i n f u l
memory

because

i hold so near
the echo of
e a c h

tear

i

ever

caused

…and regrets
and my searing
m e l a n c h o l y

but
if this
is the

story
of the
world

unfolded

why such
a sad way to
…finally reach

shore

home

find

love

y o u ?

We only hurt the ones we love
Why we don’t need a reason
Gonna get all that you deserve
And all that you believe in

Vénus (étoile du berger) - 600px-PIA00072

Different

 

Because it was too scary,

I had to run away quickly,
Because it was too crazy,
That pain put me on my knees.

I never should have come back,
That place was kept in the dark,
Because sweetness is my lack…
I kept on waiting for the spark.

In the night of my desires,
Found a way to get higher,
But when this love expires,
I’m scorched on the barbed wire.

Between a dream and a nightmare,
Keep walking but my feet are bare,
I should wake up, start to care…
Stars show such a different flare !

Is it Veil or Caul?

There is this female that I don’t really know

but it feels like she is always in my life

we’ve never hung out or we’ve never talked

Yet for some reason I have no ideal of how I am connected to this person

I don’t know why I have to question some things when I see some much

but it was actually her that was with these people.

It feels so real that I think I am really in that place.

It’s a weird relationship

so we’ve had our ups  and down’s

but for some reason I am always the one who wants the real

conversation to figure out why

our paths cross so often.

Innocence returns

I, Davros: Innocence

I, Davros: Innocence (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

 

Youthful innocence not clouded by reason

 

devoted uncaring , tattoos of a demon

 

consciously knowing that all good things end

 

dreaming of days that wont be condemned

 

sleeping in daylight , stalking the night

 

innocence returns with minds full of fright

 

soon days disappear without our request

 

feelings turn black in total distress

 

innocence is funny it returns when were old

 

innocence is precious , should treat it like gold

Trust Betrayed

Trust isn’t what it use to be anymore

tell a person a secret and in a matter of seconds

it seems like a thousand people know.

It’s sad how someone can look you straight in the eyes

and watch you eat something that they know they put something

in that would hurt you.

It’s sad when a person is nice to you only by voice

but when they see you, they break down with some syndrome

where hurting the person is the only way they know

Sometimes no matter how you feel

you can’t always keep a line of communication open if you are the

only one getting hurt.

Just because you walk away doesn’t mean a person is going to leave you alone.

Their greatest joy is knowing that they are still hurting you.

Trust isn’t what it use to be anymore,

that’s why people put up so many walls

that when the right person comes around

your always going to be hiding

all because trust is what broke you apart.

some memory’s are better than others

Do You Remember the First Time?

Do You Remember the First Time? (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

With everything I can’t remember , a random memory will( it seems) rear it’s being at the exact time as I didn’t need to remember it… is it getting older…Hmmmm I’m not so sure…I’m thinking we lose certain memory’s to maintain balance ..with that said (just my opinion)…I read some of my old posts (I was in a very dark place for a while) but I never really remembered some of them …really weird …, I have also been dreaming some things from the past , dredging up old pain …. I don’t know why….I wish it would stop tho….any way I’m done rambling for now …Have a good night all…peace

My Dreams….

My nights are shallow , need to make that leap

I fight all night , but still can’t sleep

Next thing I know my mind is screaming

Feels so real , but I think I’m dreaming

When I think my dreams come unsurpassed

I’m dreaming again , about my past

Thoughts of things , wont go away

Buried til I sleep , then they play

I wake to hair and pillow all wet

Then my dreams they all reset

Thanks for reading …Remember Please like , comment and share..Thanks timzauto
