FRACTURED MORNING

Written by ShanesBlog and HastyWords I awoke to find myself wrapped in sheets Surrounded by golden sunlit colors Foggy memories tried to surface And I fought the urge to wake you As my thoughts tiptoe around in silence Seeing you laying perfectly still As if the world was frozen in place Awakened in me a…

A FEW THINGS I LOVE

♥ A few things I love ♥: The way clean sheets feel right out of the dryer James Morrison lyrics The smell of fresh rain The sound of children laughing A double rainbow on a stormy sky Cotton-ball clouds floating by Dragonflies playing tag The sound of traffic in the distance The way the wind…

SECRET SOLITUDE

Written by Think.Speak.Tryst and HastyWords   Coming and going Like the turquoise tides Beaches littered with hope for happiness I find myself wandering alone   The sun has been hiding For infinite days on end Clouds painting shadows on my mood Leaving me cold to the bone   Tired by the drawn out repetition Of…

Written…

I AM AN EMOTIONAL THIEF

I am pretty stubborn and I am really good at making everything about me.  I have been told I borrow emotion from people, but really I think it means I am a thief.  “Oh…no…here comes that girl Hastywords…watch out she will steal your emotions!”  Now that I know I have this super power I am…
