Forbidden II

09/06/2024poetryBlogging, Feelings, Forbidden, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, Lust, Lusty, MyThoughts, poetry, Ray'Elaine, relationships, WritingRay'Elaine

In the shadows where forbidden desires dwell
Lust whispers its seductive spell
A flame that burns with an intensity untold
Yet in the darkness, my passion must withhold

Like a rose blooming in a garden of thorns
Yearning for a touch that fate scorns
Forbidden fruit within my grasp
But the price of indulgence is too vast

I remain a prisoner of my own desire
Bound by chains of societal ire
In the depths of my soul, a fire burns bright
Forbidden lust, a bittersweet delight!

-Forbidden II-

Blessings and Love!

Do Better!

09/04/2024poetryBlogging, Do Better, Dreams, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, poetry, Ray'Elaine, StrengthRay'Elaine

In life’s vast book, I yearn to pen a chapter

Where every line breathes hope, and dreams take flight

To rise above, where echoes of laughter

Outshine the darkest shadows of the night

With a steadfast heart, I vow to climb much higher

Past every trial, where fears and doubts reside

To grasp the stars, fueled by pure desire

And ride the winds of change with arms spread wide

But oh, the path is strewn with stones and thorns

Yet, in my soul, a fire blazes bright

To conquer peaks and face the sharp-horned scorn

With courage’s shield and wisdom’s guiding light

Let this sonnet be my solemn plea

To do better for myself and all to see!

-Do Better-

Blessings and Love!

Unwanted

09/01/2024poetryBlog, Feelings, JustWrite, life, Lost, Misunderstood, Poems, poetry, Random, Ray'Elaine, thoughts, unhappy, Unwanted, writerRay'Elaine

That feeling of being unwanted

Feeling unwanted. Pushed away, casted out

When all I hear is

We don’t want you

You don’t belong

Unwanted

Hearing them loud and clear

Hear it in my mind

Hear it in my heart

Unwanted

I question myself constantly

Is it how I look?

Is it how I talk? Or act?

Unwanted

Feeling unheard, hidden

Feeling misunderstood at times

Thinking how can I be better

For them

Unwanted

Alone

No one by my side

Walking that lonely road

That feeling all my life

Unwanted

That feeling of no love

Thinking would it always be this way?

Is there something wrong with me

Unwanted

And searching for

Someone to hear me, see me and

Love me

In this world of chaos

Just unwanted

That feeling that I don’t like.

-Unwanted-

Blessings and Love

Thank you for reading.

Zealous

08/31/2024poetryBlogging, Chill, Feelings, Good Vibes, happy, JustWrite, life, Passion, poetry, Ray'Elaine, Writing, ZealousRay'Elaine

In the realm of zealous souls, I stand tall

Obsessed with passion, I heed its call

In every endeavor, I give my all

Driven by fervor, I never stall

With a fiery spirit, I chase my dreams

Through turbulent waters and silent streams

My zeal is a beacon, or so it seems

Guiding me through life’s intricate schemes

Though challenges may come my way

My zeal will never fade or sway

For in my heart, it will always stay

A fervent flame, lighting my day

-Zealous-

Blessings and Love!

Love I Never Had!

08/30/2024poetryBlog, Cool, Feelings, happy, JustWrite, life, Love, Love I Never Had, Lust, MyThoughts, Poems, Poerty, Ray'Elaine, writerRay'Elaine

Damn, feelings and emotions are all over the place
Feelings and thoughts of can I be in love?
I Love the way he makes me feel
It’s really a
Love I Never Had
An understanding love
He gets me, and speaks to me with respect
His care for me and mine for him
It’s a
Love I Never Had
Trusting
Blushing
Feeling appreciated
It’s really a
Love I Never Had
Sometimes makes me wonder
I pause, I’m not too sure
All in my head
Thinking it can’t be real
A love I never had
Believing in me, my dreams
Our future
Encourage me to keep going
Even when I don’t want to, he won’t let me sink
His kind words and gentle voice
Love of gentleness
It’s really a
Love I never had
Feeling safe and secure, wanted
Feel it in my spirit, my heart, in my body
Needing more and more
It’s a
Love I Never Had
He is constantly on my mind
Damn, Day and night
Fighting with me through my pains speaks love to me
He says he cares, he loves me
Me hoping I’m what he needs, what he wants
A soul-to-soul love
A Love I don’t want to fade, want to last forever
Damn, feelings and emotions are all over the place
Still though
It’s a love I Never Had!!!

Blessings and Love!

Gentle Me!

08/28/2024poetryBlogging, Faith, Feelings, Gentle Me, Gentleness, Good Vibes, JustWrite, life, poetry, Strong, thoughtsRay'Elaine

In this busy world and all its noise

I often find myself feeling overwrought

And though I try my best to stay poised

I sometimes feel like I’m coming up short

It’s in these moments that I must remind

Myself to be gentle and kind to me

To take a step back and not be confined

By the standards that I should be

For I am human, with flaws and mistakes

And that’s okay. It’s just a part of life

So, instead of dwelling on what I can’t make

I’ll focus on the beauty and joy that’s rife

And in this way, I’ll be kind and gentle

To myself and to others. Indeed it’s fundamental!

Blessings and Love!

To Keep Your Cool!

08/25/2024poetryAuthor, Be Cool, Blog, Blogger, Breathe, Cool, Faith, Feelings, happy, JustWrite, life, poetry, Ray'Elaine, Stress Free, thoughtsRay'Elaine

When the heat of the moment starts to rise

And tempers flare before our eyes

Remember to take a deep breath or two

And count to ten before you do.

Find a quiet place to clear your head

And focus on your thoughts instead

Take a walk or listen to some music

To calm your nerves and help you choose it.

Think about the situation at hand

And what you can do to take a stand

But always keep your cool and be kind

To find a solution that’s fair and aligned.

So, when the world around you starts to spin

And you feel like you just can’t win

Remember to stay calm and stay true

And you’ll find a way to make it through.

Just Keep Your Cool!!

Blessings and Love!
