Curtain Call by Tex Where does Life get off, playing such cruel tricks on unsuspecting hearts?! What's the deal with "Timing" too? These two delinquents shouldn't be allowed to stand in the wings heckling the players and tripping up Fate. How is one expected to hit their mark night after night while Heckle and Jeckle sneak about dripping chaos in their wake? It's just not fair that We should be exposed to such devilish behavior. I protest! Something must be done to curtail this mischief. Let us lower the boom on their heads and draw the curtains on these hooligans! Drop the curtain on the duo's shenanigans, sweep the stage and shut the lights. We'll show them the door, and good riddance too! We're not gonna take it anymore. "See here, you two! Stop this ruckus right this instant! Imagine the audacity, the shear disregard for others? I demand action! Let them be banned from this "auditorium" and left to dance for change in the streets. NO! Such insolence can only be recompensed by their swift and ignominious demise! Rally the company! The final act is upon us mates. "Break a leg" as they say in "the biz", or better yet, break theirs! Gather round players, it's the last curtain call. *faints*  From my NL diary. 2 Likes 1 Share |

The Stars Have All Gone Out by Tex It is dark tonight. No dappled sky. No stars to guide the Mariners way. Cool breezes blow against pregnant sales as the vessel cuts smoothly through black seas. She stands alone, searching the darkness ahead. No moonlight trickles across the water, as stoically, she presses on alone in her thoughts. Amidship her crew waits, and still darkness reigns. Gliding onward, the vessel. Ever forward, no stopping. Chasing what once was. The obsidian depths below and the pitch canopy above. In search of places that can't be found and things that can't be seen. Into the arms of obscurity. Never to sail this way again. No ocean breeze against her skin. Nothing to do. Nothing to say, as she crosses into this realm. Resigned---for death is at the helm. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Crystal Containers and Morning Dew by Tex Some things just make everything better. The smell of fresh backed bread. Birds singing outside your window. Going back home. Hugs and kisses. Puppies and morning dew on the grass. If only we could bottle smiles, and wrap laughter up in ribbons and bows. Couldn't we "can" the feeling of loves first kiss, and collect the sparkling gems of morning dew on the grass? What if faith, hope, love and charity dangled from the branches of trees? Heavily laden boughs genuflect in respect to the morning dew on the grass. Perhaps peace could flow through the breeze and brush the faces of those in need. Floating on gossamer wings over the morning dew on the grass. A place where love flows like a river and finally dumps all into an ocean of pain, as it spreads it's gift. Then evaporates and forms morning dew on the grass. Don't underestimate the power of the crystalline morning dew on the grass. |

Insecure Heart by Tex Sometimes confusion comes a calling, And I can't help myself asking. It's come to me before, this need to know. Like the wind, this feeling continues to blow. Can't I just, in my bed, stay till tomorrow sprawling? No! I need to move, even if I am only crawling. Whatever tomorrow brings, you won’t find me falling. Here on the quay, adorned uniformly and feeling hollow. Into this ship, can I continue to follow? I look up ahead, can I honestly say it is appealing? Will I choose to stay here while my heart is aching? I've chanced this way before, even then I felt it was breaking. Along the way often I pray, even though... Shall I, in this line stay, even with all I know? Shall I remain, still clinging? It seems I'm not good at all this bi-standing. Lately I find myself ill content and demanding. For I want the light to continue to show, But right now it refuses to glow. While my spirit watches; crying. Why do I feel so dubious, And why have I become so anxious? |

Steady My Heart by Tex Afraid to move forward ~Transfixing The world keeps turning But I'm frozen in time. Distance and uncertainty ~Reaching These walls they are high Are you willing to brave them? You sing to my soul ~Awakening Your symphony beckons me But my past keeps getting in the way. Stubborn heart ~Melting Standing here waiting For what seems like a lifetime. Fanning the flames ~Desiring I can't stop this feeling It's burning out of control. Holding my breath ~Wanting Stampeding heart Longing for your touch. Daydreams like moving pictures ~Promising Visions we continue to make Sight beyond years partaking. My heart in your hand ~Believing Fragile dreams caught A river of tears flowing. Through rose petals and covenants ~Gliding Till the day after eternity breaking Write your name on my heart taking. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Time Is Love by Tex If you want to give me something, give me your time. If you want to show me you treasure me, give me your time. If you want to show your love, give me your time. If you truly love me, please, give me your time. Time is love Give it to me and I am yours eternally. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

A Mothers View by Tex The scenes of my life float lazily Past the windows of my mind, Stirring memories of days gone by in Vivid color and panoramic views. Carefree forays with those I love, Like moving pictures imprinted on my heart, In a milieu of affection over time And throughout eternity. A realm where love is spoken and Abides by laws written in hugs and And kisses for scraped knees And broken hearts. Episodes performed in the guise of Big green eyes and bouncy curls, Mischievous freckled cheeks And platinum blonde hair. A spectacle of boisterous laughter, And oceans of tears cried into the Bosom of unconditional love And steadfast devotion. Throughout; settings change and Characters come and go, Drama ebbs and flows As a new life begins. For my part, I eagerly await Seasons to come And the introduction of "New" characters. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Amore Vivit by Tex Love is not silent. It speaks gently to our hearts and to our minds. The language of love can only be understood when in action. It is like a play whose actors have fully committed themselves to their individual parts. Love has the patience of Job and the strength of Samson. Yet it is as fragile as a baby bird, and can be left bloodied and broken upon the ground if not cared for. Love is bound by hard work and sacrifice. It is strengthened by compassion and long suffering. It chastises when necessary, yet knows when influence is more prudent. Love guides and teaches by example. It is selfless in giving. Yet It can be ravenously selfish with Time. It is generous with appreciation and stingy with criticism. Love needs daily sustenance. The grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence. It is greener where we water it. Love is alive in all who nourish it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Poetry in motion by Tex Poetry is the ability to ferry others across the river of emotion. To transport them to wherever and whenever the words flow. Poetry is a sentient being. It speaks to our hearts and to our minds in innumerable ways, and through countless modes of thought. Poetry is a signpost in a multicolored array. It guides us along life's emotional highways and byways, as we travel in our sensory powered vehicles. Poetry is life itself. It breathes into our souls and takes us to places we never dreamed of, and sometimes shows us our worst nightmares. Poetry is an old and dear friend. It is loyal and kind, but also knows when to chastise. It keeps us sane when all the world has gone crazy. Poetry sings. It's rhythmic lines ebb and flow to the beat of our individual drummer, and caries us away in that moment. 1 Like |

The Wind Knows My Name by Tex The wind knows my name. Its lonesome cries fill my days, And haunt my nights. I feel its sorrow Like warm breath against my cheek. The wind knows my name. I hear its whispers Like the Whippoorwill at dusk Stirring memories best forgotten, Churning emotions best left behind. The wind knows my name. Like dried leaves in the fall, It blows across infinite time And endless space carrying secrets Never to be revealed. The wind knows my name. It picks me up and sweeps me away In a vortex Beyond oblivion and Past the pain of this life. The wind knows my name. Like the Sirens' song, It sings to my soul. Summoning me. Tempting me. The wind knows my name And it calls to me. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Let It Be Me by Tex If darkness falls upon your heart, Let me be your light. When you've lost your way, I will come for you. Let it be me When you need a shoulder to lite upon, I pray it's mine. When you've had all you can take, I will comfort you. Let it be me When your strength is gone, I'll be the rock that steadies you. When you feel all alone, These arms will reach for you. Let it be me When your faith is slipping away, I will believe in you. When you are alone, I'll be there for you. Let it be me When you wish upon a star, I'll bring it down to you. When you are in need, I'll give to you. Let it be me When you forget you are loved, I will remind you. When no one else is around, Look up...I'll be with you. Let it be me Let me be the one you call. I'll be there for you. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
