Slam, Shoot, Slam.
The practice has become ritual.
Dancing with the Agave.
Lime and salt intermixing upon my tongue.
The burn, the burn it’s
Only temporary.
The residual ecstasy is fleeting.
Oh Tequila you saucy minx.
Each time you justify the pleasure being worth the pain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy Cinco De Mayo.
Emotionally overwhelmed,
Eternal battle between
Drive and Complacency.
Chasing the elusive white Rabbit.
Late at night my mind fills;
with plans, ideas, goals.
Hopeful that grand dreams transform into grander realities.
Always the harsh glare from
The sun awakens me.
Forces the heavy burden of truth,
upon my shoulders.
A Reckoning Is Coming.
After longs hours spent in
The building.
I try.
The crackling of the keys my only companion.
Will I?
Can I?
Make it.
Each moment precious as
Midnight approaches.
Rumor Has It.
Head In The Clouds.
When I Think Of Letting Go.
Hitchin’ On A Twilight Train.
She Shines With Her Own Kind Of Light.
Put The World Away From A Minute.
Chasing Daydreams, Still Pursuing Mine.
My Own Kind Of Paradise.
~It is interesting to see what grabs you when your playlist is on random, what does it say about you?
Cannot be broken,
Accepting only the best,
Measure My writing.
As the sun sets I reflect;
I came,
I found myself,
I began to write.
The rest is waiting for me,
Where the sun next rises.
It has come to its unceremonious conclusion.
Happy to be done,
Happy that it happened.
Learned more than I
Thought or wanted.
Saw things,
Heard things I wouldn’t
Wish on anyone.
~
Lessons learned,
Knowledge gained.
In its temporary state,
Permanent improvement released.
Inching ever closer
to the
Ultimate Ending.
*****************
Too late to go back.
Pride and determination,
The will to write it.
*****************
My reaction to my poor planning and possibly execution for Camp Nanowrimo. I will succeed, maybe.
What was once dormant,
Below the surface,
Awakens for warmth.
Cool mornings now,
Lead to sun-filled days.
The bleak has been
Replaced with the beautiful.
The barren replaced
With the plentiful.
New opportunity.
New chances.
Optimism of what’s to
come.
Surrounds you.
Engulfs you.
Don’t be foolish,
Spring into your moment.
****************
I will never know,
What it means but I can still
Hold it close to me.
