November PAD Challenge: Day 6

Who takes the cake?

You ate the left
- it was chocolate

You ate the right
- it was white

What's left is just not right!

Couldn't come up with much on this one ... so I went with what I had. It's short and it's simple.

November PAD Challenge: Day 5

Texting my BFF


Pissed off teenagers suck

     Someday they grow up

Got a fortune cookie that said:
a long life is a reflection of ur friends self control.

     LOL! You should know!

November PAD Challenge: Day 4

Just Beneath Myself

Just beneath myself
you will find another
not fake
nor pretending
devious and evil is she
portraying the side only she knows about
your righteous ways
be cautious
unleashing her may prove brutal
regretful
the power within thy being
is intentionally boxed
your soul is at risk
should you betray her.

What Scares Me?

The dark

The dark closes in
I am alone
I swear I hear the demons circling me
from above
and below
The wind whips around corners
slapping me in the face
rustling leaves on trees
I imagine what creatures lie in wait
staring at me from those branches
as if they know
My heart is sinking
with faith being lost
darkness consumes
creeping like tar on lungs
choking my breaths
telling me my time is running out
I fear this!
A change must be made
light must shine through!

November PAD Challenge: Day 2

Full Moon Clarity

Fog rolling in like silent thunder
  cloaking me with fear
hiding visions in front of me
  I walk blind
with arms out in front
  trying to find my way
confusion
  lost direction
"Watch your step!"
  Helpless
but listening
  what do I hear?!
Footsteps
  they echo
is that you?!
  I look up,
I see light,
  the moon,
full and bright
  shines down on you
Is this trickery?!
  Why do shadows dance?
I can't make out your face
  creeping from corners are eyes,
Who are you?
  Reality strikes,
I've never really known.

Crazy Emotions

Crazy Emotions

My strong attempt to stay sane when you're around has proven weak.
Your mere presence takes my breath away
and sends my thoughts spiraling out of control;
a massive whirlwind of emotions,
  or at least something reminiscent of emotions.

The feeling felt in the depths of my being are not merely lustful,
they are wishful & hopeful,
playful & giddy,
as if a school-girl crush...
  but not the crazy kind.

Chaos ensues my heart

Chaos ensues my heart ...

There are a hundred things I want to say to you
But I figure it’s best if they lay in silence.

I can’t fight the feelings
But I can fight my tongue from speaking the words I want to say to you
I am longing that you wish to hear them
I am longing that you have similar words to speak to me.

But, your silence… it speaks. 
Our meetings are not what I wish
And I am too afraid to insist upon them.
You would say no.
As you should
Doing the right thing.
But, who is it right for? 
You? Me?

Each moment I can’t touch you fills me with another void. 

As much as I don’t wish struggle on anyone, there are days I wish you fought these feelings as I do now.
I fight the words. 
I resist.
But resisting is tearing me apart. 

Life is too short and whether or not the words I want to say are said
Whether or not they are reciprocated
I fight – with right now – as to what good they would do. 
Would I feel better?
Or would the rejection I wait for hurt worse than holding this entire struggle inside?

I don’t worry about the right or wrong of the matter
I worry about my heart
It was broken before I met you
It was breaking apart
One moment with you changed it.
My heart stopped breaking
A flicker of hope existed
But all has been at a standstill since

My own life struggles
My own attempt to rebuild
All in vain.

Is there a chance for redemption?
Residing in you
Your heart
Your soul?

Would you allow it?
Will you allow it?

 I no longer choose this chaos.
 I choose yours.

Vanity

Vanity

The daunting task of expressing your emotions
     wasted
cowardly are thee
     No time for such
Possibilities are void
     as your fear covers your eyes
You are blind
     by choice
You shouldn't burden yourself with worry
     I am fine
Your arrogance, however, is not.

     One so daunted by feelings shall never earn attentions.

November PAD Challenge: Day 1

Match Made in Heaven?

You spoke to me,
  stating the rythmic beating of your heart
asking breathlessly, "why?!"
  I had no answer,
    for mine, too, was beating incessantly.

For this moment,
  we spoke the same language,
our emotions matching
  unspoken wants,
    evident desires.

Now you are silent,
  afraid of what you felt,
afraid of what you still feel.
  I can see the longing in your eyes.
    Do you know I miss you?!
   
Do not look, just leap!
  I'll catch you, but you need to jump
and we need to rise!
  You raised the stakes,
    I match your call!
