I’ll Be Gone…

΅〜  ೋღ ♥ ღೋ      〜΅

Moment                 

΅〜  ೋღ ♥ ღೋ      〜΅

I’m afraid to love…

To want…to wish…

Dreams…

Hopes…

All of it…

   ΅〜 ❀ 〜΅     

I feel you calling me to you…

I feel your desire…

I feel your love…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

You’re my strength…  

My knight…

My dream…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

Take my hand…

Pull me close…

Hold me tight…

Don’t let go…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

I’ll love you so well nothing will compare…

I’ll be everything you wish…everything you desire…

I’ll spoil you so well…none but me will

fulfill you so absolutely…

so completely…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

You’ll wonder what I want…

What I need…

How you can fulfill me…

You’ll ask me…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅  

I’ll change the subject…

I’ll take a step back…

You’ll ask me to open up…

To talk to you…

I’ll be further away…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

Take my hand…

Pull me close…

Hold me tight…

Don’t let go…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

Kiss me our last…

For when you wake…

I’ll be gone…

΅〜 ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅   

Too afraid to risk it all…again

My Very Essence…

΅〜  ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅    

writing roses

΅〜  ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅   

  I write because I love words…

More than that…

I am utterly infatuated, fascinated, increasingly enamored with them…

their ability to express anything and everything one would desire…

 So very many decadently delightful and exquisitely evocative ways…

΅〜 ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅    

I write to release pent up thoughts…emotions, hopes, fears, dreams…

Endless expressions of me…

Who I am…why I am…where I wish to go in this journey of life…

΅〜  ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅    

Not only is writing my catharsis, it is unceasingly shaping me…

I quite literally am writing myself into who I am…

who I am becoming…who I will be…

My personal revolution…

A metamorphosis via a plethora of beloved words…

΅〜 ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅    

If you wonder why I write..the above is the best answer I’m able to give you…

Perhaps that also explains why I write so often of the inability to

express words exactly how or when I would wish…

To put words to the vague…the intangible…the elusive…

΅〜 ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅    

Some people call it writer’s block…

I call it amputation…

Without my beloved words…

I lose myself…my voice…my very essence…

I am only as unique as the words I choose…

The emotions…the feelings conjured by their purposeful placement.

It is my insistent compulsion to continually do so in ever more very varied ways…

΅〜 ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      〜΅    

You need look no further…

For this is who I am…wholly and completely me…

To be found…

In each word I write…

Anatomy Of Envy…

΅〜 ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅

_Seven_Deadly_Sins__ENVY__by_blackeri

΅〜 ೋღ ♥ ღೋ      〜΅

Duplicitous people… Ego reigns supreme…
Faceless anonymity…
Blending into the crowd…
 Envy ever-present in each shadow…

Pretense of Virtue…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

Infected thoughts permeate reason…

Drive inconsistent action….

Feed self-doubt…

Façade’s creation from distorted understanding…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

It is not self one now projects….

It is another…

Envy morphs into emotional despair…

Feeds on itself until nothing but Ego remain…

Ego cares not for others…

It is self-driven…self-fulfilling…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

One cure will abolish it…

Gratitude…

For all one has…

For all one is….

΅∼ ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      ∼΅

No one can be you…

 No one can be me… 

For we are each…

Unique…

Blissful Oblivion…

΅〜 ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅

Return_to_Oblivion

΅〜 ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅

Love me no more…
Love me no less…
I cannot compete with the illusion I’ve created… projected…
I am not all you see…
My true self lies hidden in oblivion…
Buried inside…safe…protected…
I’ve worn this mask long enough to almost fool myself…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

Don’t you see me?
Can you see beyond my charade?
Do you even want to…
I suppose that is the driving question…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

I am a jaded dreamer…
Hopeless romantic…
Vulnerable…
Hesitant…
Cautious…
Shattered…
Reconstructing…
A plethora of words…none will do…

΅∼ ೋ ❀ ೋ ∼΅

Blissful oblivion…is where I remain….

Captivated…

΅〜 ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅

΅〜  ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅

You look into me…
Me into you…
We meet there in the middle…
Captivated…

  ΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

Need drives its own insistent desire to inception…
Embraced in this perfect moment…
Held by the enigmatic nature of will…
Unable to look away…
Locked in place….
Locked in time…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

Don’t look away…
Keep me here as I memorize your soul with mine…
Let us stay suspended in wonder…
Before Reality’s ocean rips us apart…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

We are helpless in its wake…
Fate’s cruelty using us as pawns for pleasure…
Neither here nor there…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

Our moment permanently fixed in the stars for all time…
Love…without completion…without end…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅

Forever captivated…

Hope’s Dream…

Hope's Dream

΅〜 ೋღ ♥ ღೋ      〜΅

I dream in soft golden hues of hope..
I dream the intangible becomes visceral…
I dream in shades of eternal spring…

΅ 〜 ❀ 〜 ΅ 

Where everything is reborn…new and possible…
Where my heart doesn’t ache in the throes of love’s vicissitudes…
Where life is likened to a blossoming rose…
slowly opening to welcome sunshine…
Where the gentle rains wash away my tears…

΅ 〜 ❀ 〜 ΅ 

I dream of kindness not bitterness…
Of hope…not despair…
Of honesty…not duplicity…
Of transparency…not hidden agendas…

΅ ೋღ ❀ ღೋ      ΅

I dream for inspiration…
I dream for hope renewed…
I dream because I must…

       In A Moment…

     You can laugh…

      You can cry….

          You can behold the most beautiful things…

     You can have your breath taken away…

       You can experience excruciating agony…

      You can cry tears of joy…

            You can be given devastating news..

      You can smile…

      You can create unforgettable memories…

      You can fall in love…

      You can brighten someones day…

      You can give your heart away…

      You can walk away from love…

      You can break a heart…

      You can mend a heart…

       All this and more you can do in a moment…

   ΅∼ ೋღ ❁ ღೋ     ∼΅

      Cherish every moment…

       For it’s not how much time you have…

      It’s the moments you fill it with…

Ligo Haibun Challenge ~ Illusion ~

ೋღ ♥ ღೋ

This is my illusory image…the projection of myself. A paradox within the very masquerade I portray. I am not that which you think you see when you look at me. Quite the contrary…I am that which I choose to see. Reflection’s surreality is the lie. If you look with intent…truly discerning in your journey to discovery of what is or is not real. Then your rewards will be enlightenment, illumination, understanding. Even more so…you will see what I see…beyond the façade…the charade built over the years of life’s trials and tribulations…The interpretation of faux projection bearing no semblance of truth. You will see so far beyond the layers of lie…so as to truly see yourself when you look into me…your mirror.

Waiting For The Rain…

΅〜  ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅    

girl in rain

΅〜  ೋღ  ♥  ღೋ      〜΅  

On the precipice of reality’s revelation….
Staring out at the majesty of the sea…
Thoughts wander aimlessly..

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

My life’s imprint…
Introspective…
On the cusp of inspiration…
Illusory images of illumination…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

Enigmatic longing…
Destiny ever so slowly revealed…
I wish as the waves roll on oblivious of me…
I wish for epiphany…
Enlightenment…
Knowledge of Fate’s intent…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

Contemplation of the ocean… timeless…mysterious…immortal…
Lost in the rhythm if its reaching to and fro…
Enchanted by its gifts which permeate all my senses…
Glimpses of future tempting me to push further…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅ 

I wait for any answer to my quest…
I wait for direction…
I wait for peace…
I wait for the rain to fall…

΅〜 ❀ 〜΅
