Not everything or everyone is for a lifetime
But for a season
Sometimes you come across them only for a certain reason
Learning is caring, cruel
Knowledge is carrying wisdom to the fool
The personal price is set once you take the risk
"At what price?"
"My happiness."
Breakups aren't that bad
Elaine Rohm Dec 2016
I put on earrings today
the ones with the bronze suns
I woke to a blue sky
in winter

Lipstick on my lips
for the first time in 6 years
I laughed at my old fool
reflection

Sighs and forlorn stares
had long graced my view glass
now a clean canvas
before me

Most tentative, the first stroke
such a daunting liberty
my pallet still holds
all the colors

Could one forget how
to see in the mind’s eye
the shapeshifting forms
of the spirit
Ronald J Chapman Dec 2016
My past is beginning to fade,
Like tears, of cherry blossom leaves falling,
On late spring days.

Beginnings are vanishing,
Endings are shining through frosty windows,
My final destiny is coming closer,

My Angel in Heaven is,
Waiting for me,
To take me home, beyond the stars.

Wondering though the decades,
Never finding love again in this world,

It's been hard living alone,
Always seeing love,
Missing true love,

Never touching love, again.

With Faith, always believing.
The Angels will bring me, back home,
To you, my love.

Racheal McKnight Dec 2016
Within me is a being,
That I cannot yet see.
A child growing day by day,
A gift to my fiance and me.

We may be scared,
And we may be stressed.
But we need to work hard,
To give our child the best.

The child may have surprised us,
But I wouldn't change a thing.
Bringing life into the world is magic,
And in a great way, mesmerizing.

Standing at the front of the cafe on a rainy day,
Waiting for a hot cup of coffee,
On this autumn day,

Seeing you alone,
Watching the dust of people, flowing outside,
Why is such beauty alone?

I try to hide my smile,
I try to hide my feelings.

Holding my coffee,
I work hard looking away from you;

But, I remember your face,
From a dream long ago,
I can see you in my dreams from a thousand years ago.

The most beautiful site I can remember,
Doesn't come close to your beauty,
Not even a sunrise on a bright blue day.

I hope by letting go of past love,
I'd be able to say hello to you.

How much time have I missed, by mourning a lost love?
What is stopping me from saying hello to you?

Coffee House OST: Jo Sung Mo - I Will Smile [Korean/Eng Sub]https://youtu.be/5dZ_b-Cd92M
I used to set this world on strife,
Seek vengance in that awful life.

yet now I've got another task,
turn down the flame, put on a mask.

I shall no more let thefeelings overtake,
calm down at once- a piece of cale.

I give my dreams, my thoughts, and all of me to art,
So soon enough, the pain should simply fall apart.
let me know how is it. Please.

Jasmin and black olive
In her corridor
To whisk away
The smell of death

Of her landlady
Of great corpulence
A weak heart
And diabetes
But the sweetest smile
And contagious laughter

She gives thanks
When lighting her candle
De jasmin et olive noire.
New home.
thehiddenwriter Sep 2016
Today as the sun spreads it's light
I feel calm,
All my desperation for life
has vanished.

My inner clouds which were not
Letting the light reach my heart
Had passed.

New trees are growing everywhere
Flowers blossom once again,
Life and peace has finally
Have arrived once again
Ronald J Chapman Aug 2016
Believe calmly like a sunny sky,
Wisdom is painting a full moon,
Hope is a new dawn,

Sunbeams bounce off a wavy pond,
Pure fresh breezes bring beautiful desires,
Morning mists float low above the grass,

The warm mist vanishes and brings the bright blue sky,

A charming wind kisses my cheek,
Beautiful skies,
Quickly bring a good day,

Wow, new strength!

What if you could do it?
Drop everything:
Your family, your loved ones, your job, your house, your life
And leave
To go to a new land, an unknown world
Never to return again
Would you do it?
To build a new life for yourself
Make your name mean something different
To pick your own family, not one to be born into
Have a new job, one you enjoy
Escape the monotonous days on Earth
Having a redo
A blank-slate
Would you do it?
Could you do it?
