PURIFIED

scribbled my name on a piece of paper

ripped it and torched it

a million burning pieces colored my sky

filling my lungs with bitter smoke

taking my breath away.

Poetic Antic {Page 44}

Marble

I wish I could, someone should

Tell that I'm having the best day

It's very funny how people laugh

When things don't go as planned

Jumbled the keys in my pockets

Lost some money in the process

Paper bills trailing behind me

Hoping my prince would find it

Poetic Antic {Page 43}

New Love

The sun is shining happily

That is nothing new to me

It isn't like this unusually

It makes me smile with glee

I walk briskly in the grass

Feel the summer heat caress

The sun is shining happily

Strawberries ripen with glee

Fluffy clouds in the sky so high

Under the tree tops I lie

A fine day in June not July

Little Romance passed me by

Poetic Antic {Page 42}

One Fine June

I struggled to find a balance

Only asking for help once

Spun around blind-folded

Still I kept my head up high

Through adversity, I've been strong

No room for tears, fears, or weaknesses

It simply isn't suppose to be

That's the truth I have accepted

My heart is cold, my mind strong

I don't let fools change me otherwise

~ ~ ~ S p a r k s

The night is young and so are we

There is no need to hurry and worry

No need to stop looking for sparks

Farther and harder we search

I'm gaining back my sanity

Flashing lights color your face

My heart begins to dance

I want to relive this sense of high

Standing still at the edge of a cliff

You place your hand behind my neck

We swayed to the tune of the sparks

Thousand times we did this

Till dawn broke and our knees shook

Still we followed the bidding of the sparks

Keeping up is hard and we are a little tired

We stood still for a moment or two

Grabbed a drink and freshened up a bit

A few candid words later and that's when it hit

I never knew how your eyes brightly lit

Leading me close to your side always

Cupid sent us these sparks of interest.

Poetic Antic {Page 40}

Good Knight

I feel a breeze that's calming

No one looked so charming

Tonight is when I found out

What living life is about

I was not always optimistic

There were times I was ballistic

Always waiting for my dream

Always ending with melted ice cream

"Never give up", is a motivation

Added with tons of invocation

Going with the flow

First rate kind of show

Promises were meant to be kept

What happened? Too inept--overslept?

Walking towards someone better

Maybe I'll write a love letter

Poetic Antic {Page 39}

Transitions

Sneaky little butterflies

Flying high, falling hard

Some things are easy

Others are complex

No time to deliberate

No time to hide that smile

Reasons are made up quick

Excuses are weak

Going through phases

Meeting new faces

Get lost in these mazes

Let's travel with maces

Safety is the key

To feeling free

Follow my wisdom

Life is fantastic

Logical I am not today

No penchant for mind games

Won't let anyone near

Heart too fragile I fear

Poetic Antic {Page 38}

S t r a n g e

Nobody mentioned that I should bring an umbrella with me

I told myself today that outside the sun is shining brightly

I really should have checked to see if it actually did

Because now I'm drenched to the bone

Poetic Antic {Page 37}

Recall

Just finished saying hello

Turned around, then let go

Took my hand, waved goodbye

Didn't need to know why

Shut the door, opened the blinds

Now we are in our right minds

Not knowing what will happen

What we had was misshapen

Ill will, Ill thoughts I have none

Somehow I knew we'd soon be done

Sanity has come back, what luck

Can't help the feeling of being unstuck

Poetic Antic {Page 36}

sleepless . . .

It's like the sun shined and my eyes aren't shut tight

It's as if the sky opened and i'm basking in happiness

I'm thinking about dancing to the beat of my heart

I'm taking a chance, I don't care if people get scared

Fell a few steps back and I'm given a second take

I'm back to the start and I wonder how to do things now

I'm thinking about singing out loud, high above the clouds

I'm taking a chance, i don't care if people do mind

Waking up to a new day, next I'll stay up till dawn

Walking up to a new bay, next time I won't be alone

I'm thinking about letting all my emotions run amok

I'm taking a chance, I don't care if people get hurt

Poetic Antic {Page 35}

Snip

Not a lot of things to do tomorrow

I've been recently let go

Not a lot of things to think through

I've been recently freed

Poetic Antic {Page 34}

Cherish

What I've felt that time was different

It wasn't hard to accept the truth

I didn't feel sad or hurt really

Somehow I knew it wasn't going to last

I wonder how you're coping with this

How long did it take you to decide?

I figured this was easy for you to do

To a point it was kinda ruthless

Funny how auguries work on me

I never know what it's hinting

I never know when things happen

Thank you for letting go

Poetic Antic {Page 33}

I'm Not Missing You

You lingered in my mind too much

And now you're tired of it

You drove me around town a lot

And now you're tired of it

You and I watched movies at night

And now you're tired of it

You and I cuddled in the couch

And now you're tired of it

You said enough and we broke up

And now I'm not missing you

Poetic Antic {Page 32}

Solely

A new day has passed me by

A new way to tie my hair

Wearing my new high heels

Dressed up for tonight

Flaunt a little skin to everyone

Someone wants to get close to me

No one is feeling sorry tonight

Won't be back till it feels right

Don't wonder why or how

Just call up the sun and have fun

Dancing though my clothes are missing

I'm about to show a new me how to be

Poetic Antic {Page 31}

what I've said

somewhere along the way I've learned

it's hard to forget and hard not to care

when people you yearn for are unfair

I keep telling myself not to get burned

I listen to what people say intently

I get hung up on the details too much

I hate hearing bad things and such

They should speak more gently

speaking my mind is not simple

keeping to myself is what I am used to

thus making my company difficult to pursue

people like me because of my dimples

waking up in the morning is tough

unless sunshine seeps in through the blinds

"be thankful you're alive", it reminds

another day to spend putting on my make up
