Well it is time to say goodbye....I know this may be a shock but I have decided to re focus my life a bit. So that means that I am not going to be around the boards for a while. I just need a break and some time to get my life in order. And before anyone jumps to conclusions....noooo nothing is wrong. In fact things have never been better. I just need to make a change and this is one I have to make:)
If anyone needs me find feel free to look me up on FB. I took down my Myspace page except for those few that I talk to all the time or are hard for me to get a hold of otherwise. Streamlining my life on my internet stuff too...lol
Big Hugs to all my family on here... this is not goodbye forever. You know where to find me... but this is something that I have to do so wish me good luck building my roads and making my path.
Steph

No worries  This isn't my swan song... just my desperate attempt to take control of my life, goals, dreams, desires and future I am around if you need me or just want to chat... just look for me on Facebook. We can still do that as friends and family even if it is not here on the boards okay? We are always going to be family.... Steph |

Hey Steph, not sure if you're visiting here, but just in case....hi and I hope you are doing well.
I'll try and keep the thread alive the best I can....here's my latest.
Poison
What’s your poison?
Be forewarned
No matter what you choose
You’ll start out the one with all the cards
But in the end you’ll lose
Control
It’s you
It’s everything
And nothing matters more
Than contemplating how you’ve been wronged
And evening the score.
Bored and tired…
Restless and wired…
What is your motivation?
Nothing, numbness, emptiness…
Extreme, intense sensation?
Pick your pleasure…
Here I am
My offering to you
My heart, my soul, on a silver platter
Do whatever you need to do.
Feel
My spirit
My energy
Through these words that I just wrote
Be sure you don’t misunderstand…
I’m not your antidote.
I’m a hint of pleasure in all your pain
I’ll drown you, then save you, then do it again.
Leave you begging and pleading
Shattered and bleeding
I promise I’ll heal you…but I won’t tell you when.
Inescapable burning
Unquenchable yearning
Life…it strangles, it stifles, and then you hear silence.
Peace…so elusive…unattainable perhaps?
Needed so badly…to stop the mind’s violence.
Choose your path…
It’s before you
A journey with few signs
Start moving, and get lost
Because all you have is time.
I wish you well…believe me.
But if you grow weak with fear
You know where to find me
I’ll be waiting right here.
Patiently.

Beauty comes,
From far within my treasure box.
Filled to the brim,
With trinkets and diamonds never seen,
Yet whispered upon in secret corners of my mind.
Beauty comes,
From joy all around.
Family and friends gathered,
Sharing tidings...
Past and present.
Beauty comes,
From the simple pleasures.
Living for life...
Not just living it.
Celebrating each breath given and taken.
Embracing all and nothing.
Loving for the first time in one's life,
And not fearing the "what if" of tomorrow.
Beauty comes...
And it just is.

Seasons greetings...  I feel like sharing today...must be the spirit of the season. SilverI cannot get you out of my mind… Unwilling to open up, to trust, Unable to understand why someone would be kind To someone like you, whom the world has seemingly cast aside For someone like you, it’s easier to run away, to hide In a place where no one can reach you Can touch you Fear and loss have gripped you Left you breathless and bruised; I don’t blame you for turning away For covering your ears Closing your eyes Undoubtedly my generosity Leaves you cynical and confused. I cannot offer you the world…. My world is certainly not yours Nor will it ever be; The memories, the experiences Are too different between you and me To look out at the horizon To stare deeply into the sky To dream the same dreams To believe in the same possibilities… It may never be. I can offer you my heart…. But not a fairy tale. I do not stand before you ready To spin straw into gold. I am ready to listen To speak, if you wish, In the hopes that your dreams Will gently reveal themselves And begin to unfold. I can hold on to the hope that you will change your mind… You are not pointless You are not worthless Or without reason or rhyme. I know…this time of year is particularly cold for you. Bitterness filling every part of you, A storm of tears ready to fall free… So turn to me So I can tell you And you might believe me That each and every single cloud-- So many of them on this earth, among us-- Has its silver lining. There is no exception. You are no exception. |

OK, that was my latest one. And now, one from the archives...just for fun.  Christmas Tree (my Christmas version of "Trees") I don’t wanna go through Christmas Without you getting a surprise And I have got it all wrapped up Don’t shake the box, that’s how it’s got to be. It’ll be you and me Under the Christmas tree And Santa will give us some presents. It’ll be you and I Watching the sky For a sleigh with reindeer flying down from the heavens. We give, and we receive In a season that brings us together We eat more candy then we’ve ever dreamed And get a stomach ache we fear will last forever. It’ll be you and me Under the Christmas tree And Santa will give us some presents. It’ll be you and I Watching the sky For a sleigh with reindeer flying down from the heavens. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah We got one shot So let’s start unwrapping Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah You’re gonna love what I got For you…..Christmas is finally here! It’ll be you and me Under the Christmas tree And Santa will give us some presents. It’ll be you and I Watching the sky For a sleigh with reindeer flying down from the heavens. I know there’s more for us in Santa’s sleigh If we stay awake, there’ll be stuff to take I know there’s more for us in Santa’s sleigh Can we stay awake, can we stay awake? |

LOL at your "Christmas Tree", Blue!!! ;D Very nice work on the new one, too.  This time of year is hard for lots of folks, so probably everyone knows someone who your poem could describe. |

Hi Blueeyz, I don't come here too often, but just wanted to tell you how much "Silver" touched me. We do all know someone like this, thanks for the reminder to try to keep them close especially during this time of the year. Just a hug or kind word or a small gift to show that we do care is all it takes, and hopefully that person will realize we really do care in return. Also loved your Christmas "Trees"  Merry, Merry Christmas  |

Blue - my beautiful poet friend. Silver is such a touching piece. I really love the message and how you unfold such gentle yet strong message.
Trees - I think you should post it for Marty at the party Monday night if you are coming. Dont forget - that will be 7pm PT.. haha.
Hope all is well with you and you and your family are enoying the Christmas season. It is so magic for children.
Liz
