Picture It & Write #30; It Stormed
-By Bob DeHoff
She gripped onto her flimsy cardigan which billowed violently due to the temperamental winds. She stared out. The ship left a milky white trail as if a snail. There was nothing in sight. The bruise of clouds that discoloured the skies growled. Soon there would be rain, she shut her eyes. Her fingers hesitantly touched her abdomen. The baby was lost. It was now a lost fragment of who she had been. An insignificant ripple in the tumultuous ocean of her past.

Rain On Me
I like walking in the rain, because no one sees me crying. - Unknown
When I am sad
when I am blue
Walking in the rain's
what I like to do
If I get wet
I don't even care
And it doesn't matter
if at me people stare
'Cause this I know
they can't see me cry
I don't have to answer…
Picture It & Write #32; Her Gaze
I was captive under her gaze. The darkness of her pupil absorbed the last ounce of freewill I held. The glittering stars and dazzling smears that painted her iris formed a galaxy of emerald and aqua shades. Mesmerised by her beauty – no, hypnotised – I fell down onto my knees. This divine creature’s gaze bore through me and read my soul. All my attention was dedicated to holding her gaze. I was terrified she’d look away. For fifty years I was a slave to those eyes, then one day something else caught her attention and there was no more life in my own.- Ermisenda Alvarez

In Solitude – Short Story Slam Week 19
It is in solitude
I come here to pray
“Lord, give me the fortitude
to hold on another day!”
From Him I beg for
the strength to carry on
When the one I did adore
from my life is gone
Everything to him I gave
but he ‘s left me behind
And now only God can save
what is left of my mind
When it’s our love we give
and they throw it away
Often lost is will to live
steeped in the pain of they
“So, dear Lord, give it back
that I might clearly see
‘Twas not because of my lack
that they have now left me
Give me one who loves me more
with passion’s fire like the sun
On the road ahead before
my life is said and done!”

For The Tears You Cry
(image source: google.com/images)
How my heart is breaking
for the tears you cry
As you toss and turn
in the bed where you lie
With grief I am stricken
’caused you’ve suffered more pain
That a heart so young
as yours should ever sustain
I desperately wish that
there was more I could do
Than these mere words
that I’m writing to you
For there you are
and here I remain
When another love’s lost
from your life once again
If only I could just
pick up the phone
I would to tell you
that you are not alone
Although it does seem
that there is no way
You’ll survive this blow
to smile again one day
My every prayer will
now for you be
A light at the end
of the tunnel to see
And again I must say
that you ARE NOT alone
For I love you as if
you were truly my own
Even though you don’t think
that God loves you too
I swear to you darling
that it is very true
And although it makes
no sense right now
Just know that it will
some day and some how!!

I love you, babygirl!!
Hold on, if nothing else do it for me!
Cracks – Hay(na)ku
image source: photobucket.com
Hearts
that have
once been broken
Either
by actions
or words mis-spoken
To
life’s cracks
have been awoken
Seeing
them not
as mere token
But
rather as
ripped out seams
In
their world
full of dreams
What
may be
taken as extremes
Can’t
be judged
in the high-beams
When
tiny fractures
they make show
Only
to spider
out and grow
For
deep is
pain they know
Bitter
is the
seed they sow
For
what another
has torn asunder
Is
hope of
joy and wonder
Replaced
by pain
a heart’s thunder
When
left alone
through to blunder!

Crashing Waves – Free Write Friday
image source: photobucket.com
Standing on the shore
as waves crash around me
how I do abhor
what has come to be
I stare at the moon
as I consider eternity
and how much too soon
it will come for me
Thinking how you left
without a single word
has left me inept
floundering in the world
Feels like I’m dying
all broken up inside
tears I’ve been crying
over how you lied
Forever you did say
was how it would be
and now I just pray
for God to take me
‘Cause He’s the only One
Who loves me true
and after what you’ve done
run to Him I do
For I know at least
there is peace of mind
and a roaring beast
never there to find
So go on and run
I’m stronger than you
with the rising sun
are skies of blue
And I’ll be okay
for it is you see
with His love today
you’re not the end of me!!
