Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
I sit on a bed of sand
aware of the time ticking by
nothing but the desire to empty my mind
I simply watch the waves roll by.
I stand under the drip drops of the rain
aware that the drops are soaking my hair
I couldn’t care less and stick out my tongue
to gather a couple of rain drops.
Every moment mustn’t be spent
running after ever elusive time
but being aware of the moments matter
and enjoying every bit of it counts most.

In little drops,
your love penetrates
it wears down my inhibitions
it breaks down my suspicions.
♥
In steady flow,
your loving motions
grant me buoyancy
taking me to places I never knew.
♥
In rocking rhythm,
I learn how to love
floating beside you
we make a beautiful song.

My take on Bernadette’s quote for this week’s All New Writers’ Quote Challenge.
Like the caress of a gentle butterfly,
you brush kisses across my brow
Your arms hold me in loving hugs
they become my place of anchor
Sweet quiet storm
your love stirs in me
it sets my heart racing
yet stabilizes me.

HUGS
Give a hug
Get a hug
A second
of perfection.
Filter my thoughts
that my mind stays anchored
on the things that matter.
For in the mind
lies our center of power
and the birth of our dreams.

Everything in life has a purpose, the good, the bad and the super ugly: I completely believe this even though sometimes we may not understand what’s going on at that point in time. All things work together for our own good.

The frailty of life The fact that we’ve been given such an X amount of time in life and none of us knows when we are bowing out is the reason that we shouldn’t fail to live, love, learn as best as we can each day, for life is indeed frail.

My dear muse
you love to play fast & loose.
Nowadays I never know what you are up to
what next you might come up with
You are always busy telling me stuff
that comes out of the blues
Yesterday you became a spy
I simply grew suspicious
Today you are dancing naked in my head
to a bawdy tune nonetheless
What will you become tomorrow?
I guess I’ll wait and see
