The Poetry Marathon

I have come to the end of this chapter in my life
Excitement fills my soul
An undercurrent of fear grips me
For there is something frightening in change
Even when we know it will transform us for the better
How I accept this next chapter is up to me alone
I can shape my actions any which way I desire
So I keep my head held high
Take my stance
Feet rooted to the ground
Confidently I look ahead
Into a brilliant future filled with twist and turns of wondrous adventures
I welcome change
Lovingly
With open arms

Traveling down this road
No preconceived destination in mind
Just the wind to guide my soul
From the highest mountains to the lowest depths
From bustling cities so polluted it’s a wonder anyone survives
To laid back, off the beaten road towns where everyone knows your name

I want to see it all

Experience it all

Discover it all

Nothing holding me back
Making memories to last a lifetime

You’re amazing
Do you know that
The way you can light up my world without even trying
You can turn any bad situation into total bliss

And the taste of you
Oh the taste of you is so addicting
I swear you are filled with magic
Sweet, savory, and just melts with the warmth of my mouth
Who needs drugs or Caffeine when I can eat you all day 24/7

Oh how I love chocolate

High above
Looking down
Everything seems so small from up here
Like a miniture town designed for child’s play

Mini buildings

Mini cars

Mini figures racing back and forth
Who is the child leading us on our way
Do they wish us well
Taking care to lead us to each destination
Or are we one tantrum from being kicked away
Perhaps forgotten for the latest fade
On our own till we are rediscovered or thrown away

High above
Looking down
Everything seems so small up here

Look into my eyes
Tell me the truth
Were the words you told me real
Did they have any meaning to you

Tell me the truth
No more childish games
Did they have any meaning to you
Or were you trying to break in and steal my heart away

No more childish games
If your words were truth than let their colors show
Or were you trying to break in and steal my heart away
Greedily saving it for yourself on a rainy day

If your words were truth than let their colors show
Otherwise my heart will learn what my head already knows
You were greedily saving it for yourself on a rainy day
No intention of love found in your viens

My heart will learn what my head already knows
Your words were nothing but lies spun beautifully
No intention of love found in your viens
Goodbye sweet liar

Embrace me in your arms
I shall wrap you in my own
Let us get lost in each other’s atmospheres as they come together into one
Everything else in the world can slip into a distant memory
Time stops on its heels
This moment is all our own

Blow my mind
Its what you do so well
When you let me catch a glimpse of your brilliant mind

I want to dive on in
Get engulfed in your hopes and dreams
The way you love life so passionately

You say you are average at best
Buy my love
If you could see what I see
You would understand you are far superior to the rest

You consume me
It feels as if I can’t live without you
Hours wasted daily on meaningless thrills
Discovering worlds far away
Hardly viewing my own

What would happen if I put you down
For just a minute or too
If I went and lived on my own
Had to interact with others first hand

I fear I would be in for a shock
An alien in a world I do not recognize

I really want to let you in
Honestly I truly do
But my guard has a mind of its own
It built an unyielding fortress even I cannot break through

Twilight enchantingly illuminates the sky
Transitioning from glorious day to magical night
Kaleidoscope colors transform before our eyes
Stars peeking through with their eternal shine
Sun disappears out of sight just beyond the horizon
Encouraging his children to sleep
As Moon glows brighter in the ever darkening sky
Shining her beams down to earth alerting nocturnal creatures it is time to rise
