Juicy disasters
Just waiting to be plastered
Some hearts never heal

Writing prompts: Succulent sisters and blazing blisters
Another day dims
but the light of your love
radiates brighter than ever.
In this worn out, weary world
you’re the one constant,
the heart of who I am.
You’re my shimmering star,
the everlasting one
whom I continue to follow.
Even when darkness
overtakes me,
nobody, not one
can change my mind.
For you live within me,
you’re the breath of my soul,
the very reason I shine.
I love you completely,
and I will trust you with my life
because you gave me yours.

I often wish…
Thunderstorms could be kinder
Perhaps they come
To serve as a reminder
I often wish…
Rainbows could stay all day
But maybe they disappear
Because of all the gray
I often wish…
The moon could be less blue
Perhaps it’s just reflecting
The moods of me n you
I often wish…
The rain could be less wet
But maybe in all the pouring
Our own tears we forget
I often wish…
We could have less gloomy days
Perhaps all the darkness
Helps us appreciate the rays
I often wish…
I could reach up and pick a star
But maybe that would ruin
The wonder of all they are
I often wish…
Snowstorms could stay away
Perhaps they come to remind us
Of times we need to play
I often wish…
The sun could stay and never set
But maybe the reason
Is for the glory we can’t forget
I often wish…
This world could just see
That the beauty all around us
Is a reminder of what could be

I’m trusting you
For the time I’m here
Please don’t fail me now
Just steer me clear
I need your help
To guide my way
Oh God please show me
What to do and say

Thinking of you today
and I ask myself this…
How can anyone be lonely
when they have a million friends?
But I suppose it’s more than that
isn’t it?
It’s the foundation
the connectedness
the secret loyalties among confidences.
All these things matter
in order to gauge the true value of a friend.
And sadly
without the right combination
our state of loneliness
is never very far away.
