Ok, so I've been saying for a long time that I was going to post on the blog more than I have been in my last post. As you can see, I've been slacking in that promise because, well, I suck at motivating myself. But that's going to change--I think--so, just nod your heads and just say, "YES! We can Change!" Please excuse the terrible Obama reference.
So, to get down to business of why I've just out of nowhere decided to make a blog posting. I wrote a sonnet very recently that sort of reveals a lot of "feelings" (I couldn't think of a better word, so I just went with the ole generic one) about someone that I wish I could have got to know more and establish more of a relationship with (a missed connection you could say).
So, here it goes. Please feel privileged to read this because I hardly let anyone read my poetry, not to mention do I ever post it for public reading. I hope you enjoy, and please don't be afraid to make comments (constructive or deconstructive) on here or on my Facebook since most of everyone who will be reading this (if anyone) will be people who followed the link from my FB status. With that said, enjoy!
And no I will not say who the poem is about.
Black and Spotlight
Bare me the time to confess
To you that upon first sight
All I hoped was to impress
You by being your spotlight.
Your eyes capture the beauty
That you surround yourself with.
Through Black and White, I can see
That spark within you, that depth.
For all that's sound, you're its beat.
You move, it moves. You're smile's
The chorus that always bleats
On, on, and on for miles.
Now here I stand, your eyes upon mine.
I wonder if you know why I shine.
For those who find this sappy, I apologize. But it is a sonnet folks, and this is only my third revision of it, so it is more than likely going to go through more changes.
Adios for now. We'll talk more, soon?
It is very beautiful. Very beautiful indeed.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is something that everyone, or almost everyone, can relate to as well. Wheather, it was someone they wanted to talk with and didn't, or if they were overwheled with emotions and kept them to themselves.
"What Might Have Been" by Lonestare, and "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brookes, are both very beautiful songs. Everything happens for a reason, undoubtedly . . . but every now-and-then, it seems more complex than the ground is wet, because it rained.
Trust yourself. That is one way we learn who we are, and who we want to become. Of course some things may seem more sure-footed than others, but as the saying goes, If you don't try, How will you know? The day we moved up here to Oklahoma, I was scared out of my mind to be moving so far away with my girls, but I knew our life together - Mick with his son Chris, and myself with my girls - is Really what we all wanted. There was HUGE risks involved . . . HUGE Emotional risks at that - the emotions of our children as well, but we knew what we wanted, we each knew what the other wanted, we knew what we wanted for our children, and our family. All of those shared things together, is what made it DEFINATELY Worth It For Us.
We are always growing, and it does not always have to be "growing up". He knows he is ALWAYS as risk for a wedgies (YES IT CAN BE DONE IN BOXERS TOO!!!, noogies, wet willies, a quick YANK down of his shorts, and/or scaring the BEJESUS out of ANYONE AND EVERYONE with VERY well timed shouts and banging on doors (Bathrooms IN USE INCLUDED!) who dares enter our home. There is also the occassional ghost, who likes to open and close doors as well. ;oD
Really what I am saying is, Remember to enojoy life. We are Never promised our health, and we are Never promised tomorrow, so enjoy your life as fully as you can, and do not beat yourself over the "what if's".
I Love You and Miss You!
