A Cloud In Paradise

This feeling I have inside of me

Baby it knocks me off my feet

Sometimes it feels like I can't breathe

My feet are firmly planted on the ground

But my head and heart are floating on top of a cloud

Ont top of a cloud called paradise

Baby there isn't anyone in this world I'd rather be with

Right here by your side is where I belong

Right where I belong for all eternity

Where I belong until the sky falls

Until the heavens drop

I belong right here with you

The love I have for you is unconditional

It's a feeling that will never die

With you I want to spend the rest of my life

I want to go to sleep and wake up holding you in my arms

I want to just lay my head on your chest and hear your heartbeat

I want to wake up every morning and just gaze into your eyes

All I want is to feel your gentle touch

Every time you touch me I get the chills

I love you with all my heart

And all my soul

This fire in my heart

Burns for you and you only

Rise Up Through the Ashes

 A fire rages wildly

Destroying everything within its path

Everything turns to ashes and dust
The environment that once flourished
With the vivid colors of wild flowers

And trees towering above with shafts of light beaming through the openings

Is now open and desolate

But with time, a glimmer of hope beings to rise through

Like a phoenix rising up through the ashes
Life beings to take place once again
The ground begins to heal its burns
The color and trees being to rise up from the newly healed soil
And everything returns to normal once again

The Tango in the Sky

 The dark gray sky

Turning darker by the minute
The sea becomes more ravaged with movement

Birds scramble around
Searching for the much needed shelter
A flash of lightning fills the sky with an ominous light

The booming thunder fills the desolate sky quickly afterwards

As the rain starts to fall, faster and faster by the second
The sea churns with a fierce turmoil
Thunder and lightning tango to the pounding rain in the sky
Suddenly, along the horizon

The breaking of the clouds gives way to the hot setting sun
Turning the sky into a glowing fireball with hues of red and purple

The rain slows to a stop

The battle in the sky turns quiet

Everything returns to the quiet tranquility

3 A.M

The scent of you so strong
Making my nerves tingle with sensation
A sensation never felt before
Your warm embrace and gentle touch
Embody me from within
Leaving me breathless and my heart racing like a freight train
I feel so enlightened and overjoyed to have you to be mine
To have you here by my side
Suddenly the darkness fills my surroundings
As I roll over and look at the clock
3:00 AM
I sigh fighting back the tears that have become a regular visitor
I lay there with my hands behind my head
Just letting my emotions take over once again
I think of everything that went wrong
And what could have been done to make it right
This empty void
In my life and my heart
But most of all
This empty space here beside me
Longing to be filled by your presence
This longing I have for you
It's ever present
Always a lingering thought in my mind
You were the best thing to ever happen to an average, ordinary girl like me
My love for you was like nothing I've ever felt before
How pure and true it was
Feeling so alive and new day after day
But how quickly that was to be replaced
By hatred and sorrow
But I know in the back of my mind
In the deepest crevaces of my shattered heart
I must move on someday
And leave behind all this sorrow and shed tears  

Mystical Figment

The water is crystal clear.

You can see straight to the bottom.

The waves lapping up against the jagged rocks,

Going higher and higher as the noon tide approaches.

The sun hits the high point of the day,

Making everything shine and glisten.

Like the shining diamonds in the night sky.

Up from the waters arise the most beautiful creatures,

Elegant and poised so perfectly.

The sun glistens off their skin as they go up,

And go back down to the depths of the sea,

So gracefully gliding through the waters.

They cut through the blue like a knife.

Not a mistake to be made as they roll and slide.

Higher and higher they come up out of the water,

Until they seem to be playing gracefully with the seagulls that crowd the sky,

Waiting patiently for a scrap of food.

They are a mystical creature, one of mystery.

A beauteous figment of Mother Natures imagination.

Beauty Dies

Beauty crowds her until she dies.

The smell of roses and lilacs fills the air.
She feels herself falling into the endless darkness.

Her soul catches fire.

Burning a bright, white light into the dark abyss.

Soon the soft, sweet earth surrounds her.
The musty smell of rotting vegetation envelopes her.
She feels the beauty slowly rising out of her decomposing body.
She smiles as she looks down at her grave.
She bids of the beauty a final farewell,
And slips off to her ever lasting peace.
