Break Dancing Babies? On Skates? LOL, I Couldnt Help Myself

Now have you ever seen
a break dancing little bean
on roller skates no less
and who would ever guess
they could stay so clean?

The Fire Of Rage – picture it & write

The embers danced along my fingertips. What was happening to me? Something stirred in the hall. I clasped my hands together and hid them between my thighs. The wooden floorboards creaked in agony underneath the weight of my step father. I scrambled into the corner of my room, I tightened the frayed blanket around myself, only my eyes peeped out. The slither of light illuminating the bottom of the door was smothered. The beads of sweat trickled down the curve of my nose. My thighs burned. The pain intensified with each second. Rage flowed through my veins like molten lava. The door opened. My step father’s insidious, glittering eyes could be spotted. Unable to restrain myself or the force within me, I stood. My hands reached out and hate flickered behind my eyes. The flames engulfed him, the house, and me.

I had heard stories, fiction I always thought, about instantaneous combustion, you know, those people who just burst into flames without being around anything that was on fire.  I didn’t believe in it though. 

There was also that book I read a few years back that was written by Stephen King, Firestarter.   Last year I saw a movie called Hellboy that had a girl in it there would ignite into flames when enraged and not be consumed by them.  Yet, that was all what I would call science fiction, until now.  But what had I just done and how did I control it so that it didn’t happen again!

As I ran away from the burning house, for the first time since it happened last April, I was glad that my mother had passed on so that she didn’t have to see this, deal with what was taking hold of her baby girl.  I heard sirens echoing behind me as I moved further through the woods behind our house.  Good thing that I took all those years of drama class, I was gonna have to put on the performance of my life later on when I pretended to just be getting home.

To have to feign distress over the death of that monster I called my step-father would need a command performance.  Oh how I hated him!!  Even before mother had passed on, I hated him for what he did to her mostly.  Sure, he was mean to me but left me alone for the most part, he beat her and raped her when she was unwilling to have sex with him.  He threatened to kill her almost every day if she ever tried to leave him again.

She had taken me and ran about 8 years ago and he found us, dragging her back kicking and screaming.  Then he beat her so bloody that I thought she would die for sure.  He refused to take her to the hospital, so it was left to me to care for her when he was gone to work at night.  She didn’t leave the house for 4 months, she couldn’t even walk for 2 of them.

“I got him back for you, mama!  I gave him a taste of hell before he even got there.  Now watch me get away with it here on earth and you ask Jesus to cover my sin up there, will ya?”

Rose Petals In The Air

(Image Source: dreamies.de)

I tore up all the roses
that you had given me

I didn’t want them where
I would have to see

So I took them outside
and threw them in the air

For I knew that you
would not know or care

As the wind blew them
all around and around me

I thought of how you said
that you loved me endlessly

Just like those rose petals
blown away with the wind

So are you and the love
that you promised without end

But I tell you one thing
that you’ll not ever be

Is the one who caused
the destruction of me!

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Rain, rain, go away
I wanna enjoy my day

It has rained for so long
feel like a duck quacking along

I’m ready for the sun’s glow
and the beauty of a rainbow

It has been so very dreary
my sinus’ run, eyes are bleary

Wish the rain turned to snow
watching it glisten from sun’s glow

My mood is like the rain
that pours down on my windowpane

Why downcast oh my soul?
Should be happy on a whole

Since the pattering does go on
my good spirits haven’t all gone

So rain, rain go away
won’t let you ruin another day!

In The Sunrise

(Image Source: my.opera.com)

The other morning I sat
and watched the sun rise

Coming up over the mountains
and to my great surprise

The scene I was watching
had changed right before me

And I truly couldn’t believe
what there I did see

For a host of angels
I had found contained within

 In awe I sat there watching
when at once did they begin 

The most heavenly of music
and  joined together in song

As I wondered how the world
had got it all so wrong

While I stared watching them
dance across the mountain’s top

I felt the overwhelming joy
that in heaven will not stop

And in their peaceful presence
I knew that I was home

Like nowhere in this world
that ever I could roam

When it was the music
had come to an end

I heard the angels say
“Our message you need send

Tell all the world that
you’re not alone here

For the angels of God
are ever to you near

And in case none of them
want in us to believe

Just remember that you always
from the angels will receive!”

Then the light became
so bright to my eyes

I just had to blink
and again to my surprise

When I opened them up
the angels were all gone

But forever I’ll carry them
in my heart as I live on!!

As My Ship Sailed Away, Again

(Image Source: my.opera.com)

I ran to the shore
as quickly as I could

Praying it would be there
and yet it did no good

For I saw my ship
was sailing away from me

I sat down and cried
over how it should be

Even though the fault was
none but my very own

I couldn’t help thinking that
once again I’m here alone

While everybody out there is
living a life they’re enjoying

I sit at home tired
of with my food toying

Life has lost it’s luster
it doesn’t for me shine

But yet is it truly
the fault is only mine?

Still, even though I’d like,
there’s no use to pretend

The reality is that I
have control in the end

For it is your attitude
that does your character define

And I really need to make
a big adjustment to mine!

Regular Saturday Morning Animal Laughs

Kitten saw the dog saying
I’z not yours to eat
As dog did the kitten
with sloppy kisses greet!

 

 

A new brand of elephant
came into the yard
and to welcome him
the others tried real hard

 

 

When junior left
his doggie said
“you can’t keep me
off your bed!”

 

Saturday Morning Animal Laugh In Limerick

Doggies one, two, three

when did the turkey see

said to each other “Oh boy!”

and preparing it to destroy

jumped into chairs thankfully!!

Friend – Saturday’s Limerick To Make You Smile

Time has come, my friend,

For us to round the next bend

Not the kids we used to be

We’ve grown up, you and me,

Into a love that’s without end!

Alone In The Quiet

I walk alone in the quiet
and start thinking on such things

As life and love and God
and to my mind it brings

All those unanswered questions that
I’ve asked in the past

And where are the ah-ha moments
I thought I’d find at last?

It seems there’d come that time,
and please don’t get me wrong,

When you’d learn the lyrics
to your life’s melodic song

But I have been humming
this one for some time now

And I’d like to sing it,
Father, if You would allow

I’m not even asking for
the answers to the universe

I trust all that to You
still I’d like to know the verse

To my life’s swan song
before my time to go

And teach it to my children
to sing at my last show!
