  1. I work at a major retail giant. Yes, at one of those 'Marts' in a small town, where everyone knows everyone else. Although repetitive, yet very accurate, it is a typical holiday season in the retail industry. Children with their wide eyes oohing and aahing at all of the new "must haves" of the year, melancholic adults sighing about with lists longer than new tax codes who are trying to shop for the "perfect" gift, then there are those few individuals that are filled with the spirit of giving tha
  2. White Elephant Prompt Present Game #13 "You're not being sneaky. The little girl deserves the doll you saw her stare at, her eyes wide and her little palms clenched together under her chin. You'll just drop it off on their porch on Christmas Eve, just like Santa. You're about to sneak away, but..."

    Chapter 13

    Alone Memory recalls to youth; innocence, naïve, trusting, locked, closed in a booth. Hoping, crying, others lying. Life at home, rather be alone. Aunt lied, mother sighed, I cried. A pedestal dethroned, looking back, I tried. Through awkward adolescence, buried under work, school, drama. Dreaming of freedom, hence tropical weather, healing trauma. Young adult, choices many, however, I choose poorly. Out of the s

    Unknown Feelings Worst feeling, feeling of the unknown. Acceptance of things that are void? Yet, I accept love However, love full of uncertainty. First kiss. Sexy, scary, fun, terrifying. Blindly leaping into the unknown. Relationships. Your heart in another's hands. Dependent on both working, both unknown of the other's love. Dark, bumping blindly. Endless tunnel, walking. Everything unknown, unsure, unawar

    Dearest Love I know that I have not been easiest of people to talk to, yet, times have changed. So have I grown with you. Hard times, we have endured, fun times have been few, past events have imprinted, current prejudice against one another. I have been bottling emotions. Making talking to you like searching for Everest in a submarine in the Pacific. Tired of tension, stress, and doubt, of bitterness, anger, an

    Thank you. At the time, I was working through my feelings by writing, now the poem feels relevant and timeless.

    I appreciate the love!! This is was in my early twenties and away from home for the first time. I didn’t know how to express myself but through my writings. So the end result is this timeless piece, in my opinion! Thank you!!

    Questions What is love? Intense feelings between two people? How can a friend be so cruel as to try to change who you are? Why would a 'friend', that seen you blossom into who you are today, attempt to make you who you are not? Why would this friend point out things that are essentially you, twist them, making you shit? On your birthday? Only making themselves feel better? So conniving and disheartening, bri

    Thank you! Both @BlindAmbition and @MacGreg are correct that all the poems are connected by love. With All My Love, it is the promises made in the beginning of being in love. Seasons, is about how love transcends reincarnation from the beginning of theme until today and looking for that other half of your soul. Ride At Midnight, is about a love that right in intentions but not in practice. Finally, Faces and Places, is about how a place can remind you of a special moment with a loved one and those memories, no matter how great or tragic, are worth holding on to. Thank you both, I respect and admire both of you as authors and friends.

    With All My Heart You ask, "Do you love me?" All I can say is, "With all my heart." "But will you love me now, tomorrow, and always?" "With all my heart." "What if I were in bed clinging to life by a nail? Will you be there?" "Until warmth of your heart no longer pulses, yes, with all of my heart! With all scenarios and ifs, all of the doubts you have, will soon melt for I love you, with all of my heart!"

    Ode to Mother Earth Golden rays melting vibrant colors to darkness Cotton clouds become blackened wool Giant buildings slowly transform to dwarves Dancing diamonds tango with a changing pearl Trees, flowers, grass uprooting and reclaiming Concrete, cement, pavement kingdoms overthrown Air grows sweeter with every moment Ivies, vines, creepers begin their intricate weaving Over bridges, light poles, stores, restaurants Cars become homes for bugs,
  14. Love the story. It grabbed your attention with a new scene and a new character. One question is of Theo. What was said to Brittany to make her just turn and walk to the other side of the cafeteria? I enjoyed that Lucy being strong willed was able to withstand Darren's mind control. The other question is of the Cadillac, forgive my American ignorance, yet is it a 1961 black Cadillac?

    Broken Wings My mind floats scenes of love. My heart pure as a dove. Loving you was never easy. Soul spinning, always dizzy. Living only for your kiss, knowing feeling amiss. Your heart in neutral. Love divided, I could not tell. My love had angelic wings. I dreamt exchanging rings. Uncertain of now and then, for now my wings broken. My love never questioned. Here, always mentioned. Singleness you

    Sort of, she is like Steven's Grace Adler if you will. (I did not mean for that sentence). She has his back like he has hers.

    Being one who went to a culinary university, I believe that Aiden could be one an ex of mine! We can be very sarcastic at time and guarded behind out creations. Great first chapter and I am hooked to read more!!

    Chapter 4

    We walked from the office building holding hands and enjoying each other's company. We lost track of time, because it moved so fast, before we knew it Kevin and I were walking in to the lobby of my building where Mr. Cruz was typing on the computer. There was a strong aroma of sugar and espresso filling the room, becoming more intense as we approached the counter. Mr. Cruz stood and handed me a bundle of mail. "I'm sorry that I didn't give you this yesterday, however you were quite dru

    Chapter 6

    A Brother's Love Brothers are sent from above. To watch over their sisters with much love. Mom and dad treated you like a princess. But, tell me, who taught you how to dress? I cried when you shed those tears. I laughed at, and with, you through the years. We've been by each other's side for so long. Now, you have to be on your own, strong. Remember the cactus, pool, and spider, or the haircut, earthquakes, and disaster? Pushing, ta
