Lesson in Love

Pinks
He kissed me….He made love to me….He talked to me….He showed me….He listened to me….He told me…He liked me….He was patient with me….He loved me…..He waited for me….He taught me……everything I needed to know and learn about those four letters.In this life and in that order…The right way to loveAnd how to love in return.I am gratefulI am indebtedAnd I am ecstatic.He IS the truth.He is MY truth.Because not only does he speak the words that I need to hearAt the moments that I need to hear them…But he personifies the love that he givesAnd he is animated in the way that he shows it.I thought I was determined to have him,But I am more determined than ever to keep himBecause I let him kiss meI let him make love…

I am lost in this placeFilled with iPods and iPadsWhere am I?I am lost in this placeFilled with touch screen phonesApps for downloadSometimes freeSometimes a small “fee”Where am I?All I hear is:Go Green! Go Green!But as soon as you Go GreenThe annoying commercial comes on,Now I must live above its influenceJust to live below yoursI scream!Where am I?When did it all become so hectic?Whose idea was it to push so hard?Now I’m backed against the wallFighting everythingEverything that everyone else is embracingUntil I give inCause it’s easierAnd then I ask,When did I become so lost?Who am I?-Kaydee

Come Back To Me

Pinks
I’m afraid…..I’m starting to hear the stutter of a heart that’s not really sure anymore…..The scary part?It’s not my heart I hear…It’s yours…What happened?Where did you go?One minute we’re in our impenetrable bubble of love and want and desire and the next….Nothing…No warnings, no hints, no cluesBut what I do see is doubt in your eyesI hear it in your voiceI sense it in my unanswered phone callsMy unresponded textsAnd the nights when your voice isn’t the last thing I hear…anymoreCome back to me…I don’t understand this sudden waver in consistencyAll I need is a sign that this is worth fighting for and I will fight with everything I haveShow me that you feel the way I do and I’ll do the restI’m strong enough to carry us both but…

Finding Peace

Pinks
The world we live in today can be very hectic at times. People are so busy with work, school, and other daily activities; you may wonder where has the time gone? Of course people have to work in order to pay bills and survive but work should not consume you. The same thing applies to those of us who are in college and find the work pilling up this last month of the semester. In order for me not to loose my sanity, I often take short breaks throughout the day or of course have a “me” day!  The one thing that really keeps me focused is relying on God. Praying to God or simply talking to him can help alleviate stress that accumulates over time. We all are familiar…

“Your life can be under construction and still be a marvel to behold”

Pinks
As a society as a whole, we are selfish by nature. We expect perfection, but we deliver mediocrity. We ask for flawlessness, but we are never without our own flaws. We place boundaries and set standards on others that we, ourselves, cannot meet, but yet we ridicule those that fall below. But we never take the time to look in the mirror. Truly look in it and see ourselves for what we are. And for those that do, most don’t like what they see. If any obstacles, or problems, or issues arise in our lives, we take a hiatus on living.  We take a break, using precious time that can never be given back, and use excuses that justify our actions. You’ve heard it before; “I need time to get…

Relationships One to ManyIn A Trance“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'' A trance that only two lovers can experience.When a woman finds that guy that makes…

It’s a random Sunday morning and we’re wrapped around each otherA tangle of limbs in a California King size bedAll the room in the world…… All the space we need…….But the distance is not a luxury that we want to take advantage of right nowI can hear his heart beating And I notice that mine is beating in tune with hisThis causes me to smile…My eyes are closedHands are caressing skinSkin is caressing skinAnd we can just………beAfter a moment we may talkAbout everything and nothing at the same timeIt’s sensual and real and passionateLike were making love with our words…….The best kind of foreplayMost of the time we just listen to each other breatheAnd are comforted in the simple pleasure of sharing something so pure, so trivialOn this random day,…

Worth

I'm worth it.....You treat me as if you're the prizeBut don't be mistaken,I'm the treasure.I'm the gold and the diamonds and the riches that you can only dream to possessI can walk circles around you on your best dayAll before even opening my eyes in the morningYou say I should be proud to be on your arm?The way I see it, your arm is only worth it if I'm on it......You say I should be happy to be in your presence?Your presence only makes sense if I'm next to you....You clearly misinterpret the heads that turn when we enter a roomBecause I guarantee you, if I step away from your side, the heads that turned will turn in my directionYou think I need you in my life?The greatest gift you…

What does your smile say?

Pinks
“I like him because he smiles at me and means it”      –AnonymousSuch a simple quote. It’s very simplistic in its words but full of meaning. Most of us, can tell the difference between a fake smile and a real smile from our significant others’. Hopefully, we care about them enough to inquire about the fake ones. But having someone smile at you, and you catch the millions of meanings that their smiles convey is a treasure not found by many. Imagine yourself sitting in a room with your significant other on a random Sunday morning. You’re both enthralled in different things at the moment. But then you happen to glance up at the same time and he doesn’t say anything but smile. The smile only lasts for a second and…

Dreaming

Imagine and image of the imaginary mindFocus on an unfocused dreamTell a story that was told twice overAnd bound a bond worth a bundle; and you’ll find meStill where you left me the first day you met meOf maybe it’s reversedYou’re worth every memoryAnd the time it took to make one…If I imagine an image of the imaginary mindAnd if I focus on an unfocused dreamI’ll find you…right where I left you the first day I met youThis time not reversedNow think of me as I think of youAnd we’ll smile foreverA light worth shining in the darkest place-Kaydee

Outside ForcesA relationship is a state of connectedness between two people; two meaning a couple, the sum of one plus one, me and you...etc. When other people are figured into this equation it can cause a rift, divide, or even over crowding for the initial " two" people in the relationship. There is a saying, "three is a crowd" and in a relationship, this is definitely true. This crowd could include parents, a mistress, and the most common...friends. To some people, their parents opinion of their significant other is a major deal breaker. For example, a girl's mother or father may not approve of her boyfriend, so they may try to keep them from seeing each other, make their relationship hell, or even make her stop seeing him. The "…
