End of Light

I adore the rising sun

it is part of who I am

Sunlight shining bright on me

always starts my living day

Darkness in my life I loathe

sunset I will have to know

Observing the Coffee Shop People... And a Little Love and Passion - Entry 5

This story started as I sat at the coffee shop on writing days observing people for character development.

Reading over it one day I  decided to write a short story based on the characters.  I kept it in the form of a journal.

February 14….

Today is Valentines Day. I think I see all kinds of love in this coffee shop.  The world is so blessed to have all types of love to fit every life.   Wrote a little poem or sonnet or something for today.

            I hear your voice in the foggy mist

            I search my love to find you

            I know you are there I feel your presence

            But I can’t find you.

            My heart, my mind, my soul,

            Filled with your energy

            Fog is between us

            I reach my love but cannot touch you

            I hear your voice I cry out - my words bounce back

            Fog is thick

            I search my love to find you

            I need to see you

            Need to hear you

            Need to touch you

            Fog between us -

            Stops us cold.

Not sure what that means.  Not sure what this day means.  I see no one here today to write up as a character.  Coffee shops, writing, love, desire, passion, and age maybe it all means nothing.  Get more coffee… and chocolate....

Power

What is the power 
that fuels my soul
the love that keeps
me forever strong

Am I the master
of my body
who found the part
that is really me

Eternal Ballerina

Ballet was her only passion in life

Then he entered one cold autumn night

In the front row eyes fixed only on her

Back stage that night he came to meet her

As love fluttered inside both of their hearts

Now a new passion came to her life

Every night he came to watch her dance

While no other she saw in the room

Her performance on stage only for him

He asked for her to love only him

Love for him only was all she desired

Together forever they would dance

Late one October night he was to meet

In the parlor to take her away

There she waited ready to give him her heart

Hours soon passed as pain grew in her heart

Where was he at this night so important?

Dancing she would until they could meet

She danced and danced on that Halloween Eve

Soft music filling the room all night

Patiently she waited for her only love

Tonight she watches for that one love

Hoping he will show up for her this time

As she waits for him to take her away

Every year on Halloween Eve

Sleep Time

Cool weather makes me sleepy

I must leave my comfort zone soon

Under the blanket soft and warm

My mornings don't start until noon

Though I try very hard each day

To not let my day be a wreck

Comfort I find in this weekend

Since it's time to turn the clock back
