You & Me

Looking up at the morning sky, I stand fixated in complete awe studying the artistry of shapes and patterns that blanket our usually clear blue sky and I ask myself, What would it take to get the sun to shine a little? What would it take to get these moist pompous white and grey clouds to part in stubborn obedience to its piercing darts of white light unveiling its magnificence?

But yet the rain poured, pampering this hardened crust of black exterior forged over time. This unexplainable thing we call life. Its blood thirst never quenching or relenting, sipping off any liquid substance left in me, crafting ever so finely this rigid frame.

What it leaves behind is but a mold of what it would lay claim to as being its creator. You see, life is but a consequence of time on a journey with its loyal companion You & Me. It is master of all for even with you or me it as existed before either of us and continues to stray onward undeterred into the lives of those that will subsequently succeed You or Me.

The lessons it teaches each of us vary simply because it never strolls the same path twice. You see, there's no fun in seeing things the way they were but rather the fun lies in the ever changing scenery of the forest as season change, time passes swiftly by. Intangible, Invisible and Untamable.

The story of life can be related to a puppet show for we all know that in both exist an unseen force, time and its puppets, You & Me. For because the illusion is given that the puppets have minds of their own, an applaud is given to them when it makes "intellectual" pronunciations or gestures humorous sighs causing the bellies of its audience to rumble out, emitting sounds of cheer and laughter. For it is because they fail to recognize the master, that sobs and tears are heard and seen whenever the puppets can not dance no more or the audience too grieved to dance to their sad tunes and grooves.

It is only the puppet master that remains, untouched, for like with every story worth telling happy and sad are best told of in the same breath. I mean, would honey be as sweet if lemon was not so bitter? Would winter night colds be if summer days did not breathe hot flames? Would falling in love feel so good if being alone did not hurt so much?

You and I have both tasted it but its bitter taste made us reject it. Yes love does have a bitter sweet taste. It is not always butterflies and roses. It at times hurts or mistrusts or even bleeds. It's like a scavenger that would persist until you either give in or give up.

What would you do if your past experiences with love all hurt but then along comes a stranger that seems unreal and too good to be true? Would you be skeptic or would you embrace the darkness he carries with him? As you ponder on the answers to my questions keep these few words in remembrance.

"It is in a friend that you'll find the secrets of life. It is with a companion that you'll unearth and unravel its treasures and discover it true value and meaning."

You and I may be differently shaped, but that should suffer us no real consequence. The essence of you being you and I being I is that of compatibility.

Where you were made hard, I was made soft or at least I will be. Your hands were made bigger than mine but only so you could reach into depths I could not possibly reach or dare to. My temper might be a bit Optus but only to shadow you in your time of weakness. My feet cover less ground so that the length of your journey may be prolonged. I braved entry into this world first but only so that it would remain safe for you to enter.

I am only complete when your lips meet mine with a tender kiss or your gaze inter-locks with mine or your hand grips well in mine. And only when our wild but passionate rhythmic dance subdues and we remain intertwined in each others arms. Fading nights into days as time passes on by

I can truly say…there will never be another YOU & ME

I once loved you and you loved me

Love Bella

Warning

I am Love's enemy-- the pain that never goes away, the destroyer of all that is good in your heart I take it you have now seen the monster that resides within, you have mingled and defined/ told apart the weak points from the good Your views from mine make me believe you to be right and i oh i now look down on myself with shame of the monster that i have become Allow me not to turn you into this beast i have become, run and run as far as you can. Hide and forget about my existence because this beast i so hate myself is still me I can not run but to stand and fight, I am in despair and denial I feel undeserving of anything great and pure For i have seen pure turn to dust and great turn to evil Why is the sun suddenly disappearing from my window- how is darkness falling upon me? Have i lost my guard? Is this pain self inflicted? or is the truth hard to swallow? Wake up rise and shine, the world awaits... no time for frowns and heartaches. why choose this soul out of so many?

I was starting school that year, I was scared as hell- come to think of it now- I have no idea what was so frightening?!? I remember getting lost after break trying to find my classroom- lol; I thought it was the end of the world. You don’t understand how frightening it is, to a five year old (turning six) to be in an environment full of people the same age screaming ,shouting, crying and just running loose. It was chaotic (I think my phobia of being in large groups of people started then) I came back from school that day to find my mom and a few of my uncles and aunties dancing with Joy, I still was in the dark (confused). Whilst at school, we did hear some commotion earlier that day and we ran to the classroom windows to see what was happening outside… I ran to my room to put my school bag down and went to sit next to my mom; they were chatting and drinking in celebration. I played a guessing game in my head “is it my birthday today? No, there’s no cake, hmmm, is it my mom’s birthday...

The System

My heart, why you hurting so? What has brought upon you so much pain? As strong and flexible as you are I think you tried to hard and bent too far. My heart, what troubles you so? What has left you in such turmoil? As brave as you have been in the past, it seems that you won’t last. My feet, why do you drag me down so? What chain and ball is slowing you down? As fast as you have been to carry me through so many fires and devotion you have shown. My hands, why do you tremble so? What fear and pain has left useless? As magical as you have been with a pen and paper but now you are clueless. My hands, why you allow my syllabus leave me behind? What has left you disable? What work can be done if not completed buy writing it down with my hands, they are not able. My eyes, why do you cry so? What has disturbed your concentration and stolen you vision? As sharp and sparkling as you have always been in the past but now you show signs of depression. There is something wrong with the system, the ...
