One Of Us

“One of us is lying

In her lonely bed

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead”

It was a sudden blow to you

When I met and told you

Our love is no more

Like a blown-out candle

I thought a thousand times

But it wasn’t worth fighting for

I don’t feel the love I’ve felt before

And now, one of us has to go.

“One of us is lying

In her lonely bed

Staring at the ceiling

Wishing she was somewhere else instead”

Pen to the Paper 3
Write with no plan. Sit down and write a story, a poem, a "mind-wandering," with absolutely no plan in mind. I find myself doing this a lot, and I want to see what your stories that have not been planned out look like. After writing the first draft, you can revise it however many times you like.

A Ride for Two

Journey on a motorbike,

Under a carpet so blue,

The journey of love,

A love meant for two.

Swiftly down the hill,

Her hair tickling my face,

Together in this ride,

We felt the sun’s first rays.

Tea in a village,

Breakfast in a small town

And everyone wondered,

Where this angel had come from.

We rode with the horses,

We flew with the birds

And our love grew in silence,

With unspoken words.

The wing mirror glowed,

As she spread her arms in the air

And my heart pounded,

When she hugged me hard like a bear.

We had lunch together,

The best lunch ever

Our evenings were longer,

Filled with memories that would last forever.

When the traffic lights went red,

I saw people stressed

But it was in those junctions,

When our lips pressed.

“Where to go?”

I asked her chasing the cars

She smiled and smiled,

And we went to the stars.

Dancing Queen

"And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet

Only seventeen"

Forty-five years ago lies a day

A sweet, memorable Friday night

I was a great dancer then

And me and my friends hung out

Party night, with great music

And some guy asked me for a dance

I felt like a queen, and we danced to the beat

That was how I met my husband

"And when you get the chance

You are the dancing queen

Young and sweet

Only seventeen"

I, Voidkin, am a G.I.R.L

Well, the title gives this away. Yes, I am female lol. I’m sorry I didn’t say anything sooner, I just...well, I wasn’t ready. You guys always called me “He” And I kept on thinking “Should I tell them???” But I just didn’t feel ready to expose that at the moment. It’s not your fault, I never corrected any of you. And honestly, I enjoyed it when you guys thought I was a boy XD. But, my little Secrets out. That makes me ValiantRaptor47′s younger sister. Just...Don’t let it change how you see me, ok? Whether you think of me as a psycho, or an acquaintance, just don’t let that change.

I know it was my profile picture that threw you guys off. I just liked it, I never thought it would define my gender for me lol. But if you noticed, I never said “He” or “she” when I talked about past dates. My brother ValiantRaptor47 also never referred to me as “He” or “she” just as a simple “they” or “sibling”.

Again, I’m sorry I never told any of you before. I just didn’t feel ready to correct any of you, considering I never share my gender online, For safety reasons. But we have known each other for a while now, so why should I still be lying about it? I trust you guys.

But overall yup, I am a girl.

I don’t know why that was so hard to say....

Falling In Love with Alan Watts

Well now really when we go back then to falling in love. And say it’s crazy falling. You see we don’t say rising into love. There is in it the idea of the fall. And it is goes back as a matter of fact two extremely fundamental things that there is always a curious tie at some point between the fall and the creation. Taking this ghastly risk, is the condition of there being life. You see, for all life is an act of faith and an act of gamble. The moment you take a step, you do so on an act of faith, because you don’t really know that the floors not going to give in to your feet. The moment you take a journey what an act of faith. The moment you enter into any kind of human undertaking in relationship what an act of faith you see you’ve given yourself up. But this is the most powerful thing that can be done surrender see and love is an act of surrender to another person. Total abandonment. I give myself to you. Take me, do anything you like with me. So, that’s quite mad because you see it’s letting things get out of control all sensible people keep things in control. Watch it, watch it, watch it. Security. Vigilance. Watch it police, watch it Gods, watch it , who’s going to watch the Gods? So actually there for all the cost and wisdom what is really sensible is to let go that is to commit oneself to give oneself up and that’s quite mad, so we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity.

Books

There are so many books

If you’d just take a look.

There are books made for cooks,

And for classes I took.

For the watching of rooks,

And collecting of hooks,

And how to catch crooks in their boots that they shook.

There are books about

cooks

who are crooks

that took hooks,

and those crooks used those hooks

to gather some rooks.

Yes. Those crooks used the hooks to hook rooks they could cook.

Though that story was grim, let’s go out on a limb.

Just seek out a whim and I’ll tell you of them.

There once was a Tim,

Who dunked through a rim.

And speaking of him

reminds me of Jim.

Now, this Jim was not slim.

He was not slim like Tim.

Because unlike Tim,

he did not use the gym.

But he had a nice gem

That he bought from Aunt Kim.

And Jim, Tim, and Kim

Went to the beach for a swim.

Did you like that story?

My, was it a glory!

Oh? Was it boring?

I heard you were snoring.

But now I have something that’s quite guaranteed

to keep you awaker than snakes at high speed:

Zippy Ziggy zagged along

As his puppy wagged along

And his kitty dragged along

to the place they all belonged.

Once arrived, they sung a song.

They sung a song that was quite long.

And, after they had sung the song,

In came a bull, both buff and strong.

This bull was cool.

This bull could pull.

This cool bull pulled them all to school.

And, there in school, they learned a rule:

DON’T BRING COOL BULLS INTO SCHOOL.

Leaving school, the sky decided to rain.

So Ziggy and his friends boarded the train.

On the train, they played peek-a-boo

All the way to Kalamazoo.

So, that’s the story.

That’s the score.

Hope I left you wanting more.

If not, CONGRATS! You did endure.

But you’ll be back for the next tour.

You’ll be back again, I’m sure.

Heaven Is My Home

Mama bird builds her nest

making a home for her

blue eggs

Mama bear takes over

a cave for her long

winter’s nap,

waiting for the

spring to come back

The bunny digs a

hole in the gound

for her millions

of babies on

their way.

The humans make a box

with a roof, doors

and windows

for going in and out

Some humans don’t have

a home.

They walk the streets,

Lost hope

Deserted and all alone.

rejected by the evil world.

Look around there are

homes everywhere

in the air,

on the ground,

and deep below

earth’s surface

Astronauts live in space.

While the Aliens

live below the

Ocean’s tides

Homes in the Desert

Homes in the Jungle

Homes are Everywhere

Home is Where YOU make it.

HOME is in your HEART

EARTH is NOT my HOME

Heaven is my Home

DO the UNBELIEVABLE

BE YOU

Don't Just be a Woman

Don't Just be a Man

Be a Superwomen

Be a Superman

Be as you are created to be

make you be

You will never see magic

if you don't believe

You will never know

miracles if you

don't see

You will never know

your superpower

lies that aren't so.

You must first believe

you are created

TO BE SUPER

in order to be SUPER

Go ahead spread your

wings and fly

Show the world your not

afraid
