To Feel for the Love of Dancing
I love to dance. It sets my soul ablaze. To hear the music enter into the cavern of my soul, slip through its receptors, down to my toes. And, in that moment, I find myself floating. Feel my toes pointing, like a proper ballerina. Notice my calves tighten. My feet glide through the air. Through space. My arms mimic the sense of love the music calls out. I am practically flying, this is how strong the urge to dance courses through me.
Sometimes, even in the quiet of my mind, as I force my body to stay still, the reel goes on in my head. Poses and angles. Colors of the dance. All these play before me, a wondrous scene never to escape the mind.
The dragon-knight is something fearsome to behold.
In dragon form he easily towers over a kingdom. Could lay waste to it if he so chooses. His armor is a mixture of steely gray and jungle green. His home was once the forest, but Man decided to take it as his own. It makes him angry but vengeance is not what he seeks. Not what he calls. He is asked to have patience. To listen. Creatures of the forest come to him seeking aid. Even a few brave human souls seek his guidance. But rarely does he offer unless he finds the seeker worthy of his words. For they are measured and weighed. More valuable than gold, more precious than jewels.
As a knight,

The Online Disconnect
Tip toe. Tip toe.
We creep behind telephone lines.
Afraid to show concern
Knowing that, deep inside,
the other line is just as empty as we feel.
We wait,
disconnected,
afraid to make contact,
to show compassion.
But, compassion isn't weakness.
Empathy is not for the weak of heart
but for the strong of mind.
It is the rawest way to connect
To feel souls touching.
After all,
we are just copies of the same form
The same imperfections
Just set in different places.
We know to live and love and feel,
all in varying degrees,
in various experiences.
We share the same energies.
Manipulated by the stars (or rather the Hand of God).
An embrace to pacify the pain inside
With the power to melt bodies,
strengthen resolve,
and even compose our reassurance.
It brings a sense of peace in our minds,
A tranquility to the heart.
And yet,
to resist makes the gift of such a gentle gesture
all the more powerful.
Because hugs are not a weakness,
but a sense of strength.
A sense of the human condition
reaching out to the most deprived,
the most craved, emotion -
Love.
I hold you close, my greatest treasure. Something most precious between us. I'm scared to show it to the people in my world. They have been known to smash things. Make things irreparable. Or maybe it's just my clumsiness that makes precious things dull. I am unsure. All I know is I want you close. I want to hold you in my arms and protect you for as long as I can. Because, some day, I know I have to let go. Let all the people – both in your world and mine – know what is between us. And that should not make me fearful; rather it should be that I become brave. That the most precious thing I protect is an armor rather than a fragile
There is an overabundance of love in my heart I wish to share with you. There is this need to hold you in my heart as you so eagerly place me in your arms. I love you. I'm crazy about you. And even when I say it a thousand times, I feel a thousand times a thousand may never be enough. One day though, those words will mean truth. Truth with a sense of hope and earnest longing. I want you to know that I will be there for you. I will not leave you, even if it means haunting you. Forever cast as your love ghost until we meet again. A shade of a guardian angel. And who knows, maybe I will talk with your angel about your Fate and all those silly li

Love is Paved with Broken Glass and Papercuts
My life is a broken love story. Since the day I was born I struggled to be human. I fought just be alive until that was all I knew how to do in life. Even when I was cared for, I still had my battles. Fought in silence so that none would suspect my vulnerabilities. I wanted so much and got so little of what I wanted. I yearned for love, for friendship. I turned to books. Books didn't love some much as they showed me love in all its splendors. In all its versions. And every book had a character just like me. That character would be loved and so gave me hope that some day I, too, can find love.
Soon came the time that I was made to put down th
They weren't kidding when they said the eyes are the windows to the soul. Behind every pair of eyes lies fractures of the past. A human whose spirit gets broken and repaired, broken and repaired, broken and repaired until it's almost indiscernible what it was supposed to be. That perfect, childlike soul is gone. Sometimes the fracture is so deep, so complete, a demon takes hold. Other times, like a vampire staring at the sunlight, it flinches. It is a terrible fate most of us struggle to go through. And yet, we walk each day blinded to the vulnerability of others. We are all broken pieces, but like glass breaking, it doesn't happen the same w
My lips ache to touch your skin. I get goosebumps as I think of our next meeting. How close you seem. For once, we never really seem apart. This world we live in helps us stay connected. You are by my side, I can feel the warmth of your embrace. In my mind, I hold you close. Yet my corporal soul stays here, without you. But this is only a temporary state. I will return to you as readily as you to me. And my wistful fantasies become reality once more. A magical time where a few strangers peek inside to learn of the magic spells we weave. So easy and natural. It is almost as if time has asked us to stay together - that chaos that broke us was r
All day, waiting. Waiting to matter. Waiting to exist. I know you are out there. Living your life. Doing what you do best. But I'm here. Waiting for you to look at me. Help me up. Even say "It's okay." But you don't do anything. You don't react. You don't care. And I end up feeling worthless. As the world moves slowly forward, I'm sure, in time, you'll understand. When you feel that tug at your feet, you'll react. Say something like "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know." I'm waiting and you didn't know?! I'm trying to reach you without sounding so desperate. So eager. Because what's worse than waiting? Being ignored when you are clearly desperate.
