How can I not love my mother — when she carried me first in her body, then in her arms, and then for a lifetime in her heart. ~ Rumi ~

Unconditional love can take hard work,
but don’t forget it can become a gain.
As you dodge each other's weak spots, you smirk.
Just remember a mean cheat can cause pain.
It becomes an agonizing workout,
that takes the most time out of your routine.
When you realize just how much time, you shout.
The load of severe time loss is obscene.
Try to escape, but you won’t get away.
You're trapped in a love that tears you apart.
Every marriage turns to a harmful play,
that waits until you're trapped to break your heart.
After escaping you will return soon,
you will be there dancing in the full moon.

“After” the ultimate fight the fight of survival the fight against death I am tenuous.

Just needing to rest and get my bearings together and when I'm done I will be better than ever and truly Victorious

Like the warrior I am. Poem by Shelby Kathleen Nightingale

Lady Ace
Ideas flash by like shooting stars
Each one shimmering bright against night
Often they glimmer and shine from afar
Or demand to be hidden from sight

Come back to me, star, come back!  I scream

*You have no reason to leave

For you are the marvellous hopes and dreams

To which I so desperately cleave

A familiar sense that I cannot describe
Memories of a forgotten tribe
Their music gives fortune as stories are told
Their music gives warmth in a time that is cold

'I lost myself on that November night’
Rings so true, for I thought that I might
Climb into the staves and silently shout
‘I swear to never, ever come out'

Lady Ace
the beach is littered with empty shells
the friendship has long sailed away
terrified turtles have scattered in fear
the dolphins are awake, but do not want to play

the ocean requiem is covered in sand
the creature it belonged to no longer exists
it swam off a very long time ago
yet still, its memory persists

the animals have to make a choice
should they beach themselves in vain?
or swim onwards and upwards to much better things
and rejoice, now the villain is slain
