Reflections

Looking back on the mistakes I made

Now, knowing they were lessons learned

Reflections

Looking back on the chaos that ensued

Now knowing that

You get the bad sometimes before the good

Reflections

Looking back at the rage I felt

Now knowing how to control myself and move forward

Reflections

Looking back on it all

Now knowing I am standing tall

Through it all

Damn though it is my fault. Everything is on me and I did this to myself by being in this shell of mine, not letting my true feelings out. I guess I have been in shutdown mode. Grieving today and a broken heart is added. Damn story of my life. I cannot seem to get it together and another person left me, and I do not blame him. It is my fault. It is what it is. Though my heart hurts it’s because of my own doing. DAMN 

 Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, I will be alright……Hopefully 

Hope your day is way better than mine is! 🖤🤎💙💗💚💛🧡🤍💜

Blessings! 

Thank you for reading.

So tonight, I am excited. I have finished the rough draft of my first book. It has been a rough few months, but I made it happen. Started working on it 10 months ago. My passion and was dedicated to the process and continuing on. Wow, I am really done with it, well still must edit. Wanted to share the good news here on my blog. I don’t know if I should be this excited. There are still ways to go. For the rest of the week I will be done with edits and working on book covers. For the rest of the night, I am relaxing and mentally prepared myself for the next steps. Also, will be finishing up my poetry book soon. I am in a zone and the pen flowing. I love it. Again, want to give thanks to those who gave encouraging words and helped me on this writing journey of mine.

Hopefully, editing will be done by this weekend. I have 18 chapters to go through so I know I will be busy with work, and this. I got this I am ready! My grandma and mom would be proud. I also have good and new ideas for my blog, so I am excited about everything. Happy night for me! Okay, do not want to keep rambling…

Exciting Monday night. How is the night going for you? Ready for the week ahead? Hope you all have a good one!!!

Blessings and Love

Goodnight…

Poems, poetry, , , , , , , ,

 Embrace the darkness, and let dreams cascade 

As stars twinkle in the velvet night sky 

Worries fade, and weary hearts comply 

Restful slumber, in the moon’s gentle shade 

The day’s echoes soften, memories bide 

A whispered lullaby, the world grows still 

In quiet realms of night, hearts find their fill 

Goodnight, dear soul, in dreams, reside 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading.

My Best Friend’s

Poems, poetry, , , , , ,

When I try to speak those words

Me, my mind, my soul, and my body

Freezes up

Scared feelings and thoughts

Have to grab my pen and notebook

Write it out!

When I want to look in the

Mirror and face myself

There is a pause, frightened

What is there?

Scared to move, speak out

Have to grab my pen and notebook

Write it out!

Sometimes only way to

Get my feelings out

My best friend’s

Pen and Notebook

Who I’m never afraid

To speak to

My best friend’s

Knows the real me

Updated on a daily

Write it out!

Tonight, giving a shoutout

To the two who have been there for me the most

My best friend’s

Pen and Notebook

I shall

Write on!

-My Best Friend’s-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Not Love….

Poems, poetry, Prompts, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

If it is destroying your peace

It is not love

Love should not hurt

Love should not make you sad, make you cry

Keep you drained or stressed

If it is making you question

if it’s real or not

Question what that person is really about

It is not love

Love should be a good feeling

Should be happy and filled with joy

There will be good and not so good times

Not always chaotic

If it is not love

They DON’T get your love……..

….Walk away

-Not Love-

Broken red heart crossed out above the words “NO LOVE”

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

The Truth Hurts.

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes the truth hurts

That’s just being real

The truth, though it can be hurtful

Would set you free

Sometimes that is what is needed

The lessons that come with it

The truth is sometimes a blessing and sometimes it is not

Overcoming what comes to light

Can be a struggle to deal with

But, again

Knowing the truth would set you free

And how you deal with it can change your life

But, damn

In certain situations

The damn truth hurts…

-Truth Hurts-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Truth

Bedtime!

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Moon hums in the dark

Blankets hug me close

Pillow kisses face

Bedtime drifts me home

Night hums low like gentle breath

Blankets gather quiet dreams

Pillow soft on cheeks

Bedtime tucks me in

It’s time to get a goodnight’s sleep…….Goodnight!

-Bedtime-

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.

Nostalgia

Poems, poetry, thoughts, , , , , , , , , , , ,

There once was a heart in the past

Where memories shimmered like glass

Memories snap clean

Nostalgia breathes light

Bright shards of yesterday gleam

Nostalgia cuts deep

Old laughter still glows

In the places it froze

Nostalgia holds beautiful moments that last

Nostalgia, thinking of the past!

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading
