Kiss the wind by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Kiss the wind

Perception is a wonderful thing So unfortunate are we to be caught in a web of loneliness. Struggling in this uncaring snare, we yearn for a loving heart to call our own. Speak into the wind for it will carry our cries to the right ears. Is there an escape? Perhaps yes, If only in the recesses of our minds. Wait and listen, hear the one searching for you. Reach out with your soul and touch another to embrace it ever so close. Restless, empty hearts Stand still! Listen to the sound of silence as the wind softly kisses your skin. Reach out, eyes closed to touch another just like you. They too need one to trust, to share them

Metamorphosis by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Metamorphosis

An insignificant creature am I I've nothing to boast but that I exist. Thought quite unimportant, I can be more. Come Look upon my pitiful form and you will see. I am looked down upon and sneered at by some. Totally overlooked by others, I'm of no consequence at all. Oh, meaningless wretch that I am! This is my life. One day at a time, step by step, inch by inch I WILL BE MORE! Having so little to offer, but I offer ALL that I am. Asking what I have to give, I answer, "I give you me." Not much am I now, but someday Somehow, I will be more. Watch me, Tend to me, Nurture me and you will see! Slowly, but surely A day at a ti

Hold my hand... by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Hold my hand...

Hold my hand in the morning, when all is quiet and you can hear the music of my heart singing our song, our words, natural melodies like those of Robins and Red Birds, words that ignore time and hurl us into the midst of gentle feelings of love, cool love, love relaxed like early morning leaves blowing in the wind. Hold my hand at noon when sun is blazing, when no shade can hide our scorching love, when feeling is at its greatest height, when all stands naked and revealed in its dazzling light. And though the world may not understand it, they will feel our heat as we pass by; and though they think it is the sun, we shall

I give you the moon by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

I give you the moon

Why would I give you the Moon? Because you are the Moon to me, Much brighter than its night glow. It is your face that I see When all the stars are in place. It is the glow of your love That illuminates my deepening dusk. If I had a thousand moons, I would give them all as a ransom To acquire your touch, your arms. But, tonight, the Moon is yours Lassoed and brought down from the sky. Embellished with a ribbon of moonbeams To be presented to you as a cherished gift. Be mine forever. Shine your light Upon my life for endless nights. That's why I have given you the Moon. It cannot compare to the gift of you.

Wolf woman by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Wolf woman

Dreams carried aloft, wings gliding And, a wolf is baying at the luminous face of a Full Moon. A wolf-woman listens to the haunting strains of a wolf's wanting. Her spirit running on all fours...howling painful aloneness, utter desolation. A wolf-woman with yellow eyes searching the dream-world for her mate. Her wolf's soul hungry, eager to be satisfied with a lusty, love. Roaming the wilds of abandon. Alert. Picking up the slightest sound. Deep within...finding comfort in the shelter of her den. Waiting impatiently for that time when she would lay next to her soul-mate, the provider of all her most secret passions and des

Painful by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Painful

Holding my hands behind my back, staring at the ground I try not to listen to your words, but I can't block out the sound. Each word tears into my soul, ripping out pieces of my heart Ingraining themselves in my mind, will the shouting never stop? I'm so tired, I just close my eyes, trying not to hear what you say How I'm such a disappointment, my brothers and sisters never acted this way. I just want to go to sleep, forget everything you've said I wanna forget that I'm stupid and ugly, and that I'm better off dead. I just don't understand you, I don't know how you can say That one day I'm your angel, when the next you just throw me

As much... by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

As much...

As much as The stars would miss the sky As much as Tears would miss the eyes As much as The moon would miss the night As much as A plane would miss it's flight As much as The birds would miss the trees As much as The flowers would miss the bees As much as A fish would miss the sea As much as The sky would miss it's blue None of these things could be missed As much as I miss you...

Forever One by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Forever One

Raise your hands, lift up my soul Through your eyes, envision my dreams Cast your light, I will follow For night has fallen, the demon lurks Before I fall victim, I cling to these words Forever one And ever strong at my shoulder Forever one And sure as hard winds blow colder We'll go on Break the fear of tomorrow Drown the past in these waters Trust today to another For nothing matters as much as this The fire surrounds us, and all that there is Forever One

Blue? by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Blue?

...So to your depth I remind you that even the sun Has another chance to set And in the horizon As flawless as it seems... There is still the memory Of a rainy day Long passed and overdue That no perfect sunset Could fade You acknowledged all that is incomplete In me... All that is unsturdy In my unsubstantial reasons And unsteady words (Maybe they will sound like truth tomorrow?) And remember That I am ready I try to eliminate this dullness Analyzing even the most prosaic of moments And falling Through the imperfections Past the flawless mornings ( I don't want to be reminded of any flawless morning without you.

Words of Wisdom by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Words of Wisdom

I can hear your voice and I have no choice Because the pain is too deep inside And the hurt of a love that is lost has no cure Your friends try and say it will all get better They say that they know how you feel But your heart isn't sure, since it knows what it heard But you pay the price Because you hear the sound of his name And the morning tries to save you From the shadows of your heart They dance and kiss as you reminisce And it's tearing you apart All the words of wisdom Never seem to ease the pain All the words of wisdom Sound the Same

Together by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Together

When the sun falls down and all eternity seems empty, You can close your eyes and turn from reality, But be strong, don't turn away and don't close your eyes, The moon will shine bright with stars twinkling in the sky. When deep gray clouds surface over and rain begins to fall, You can crouch down with worry, hide away, feel small, But have hope, stand up, face the whole world with might, The rainbow will rise because you put up a fight. When hail falls from the sky and the ground is sheeted in ice, You can try to walk across it, even try twice, But if all else fails, turn to a friend, take their hand, You're never ever alone, toge

In these lifetimes by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

In these lifetimes

The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me I feel the sadness And the river flows And I shall get to know you In these lifetimes In awe and wonder On down through the years The nighttime angel spreads her wings around me I feel the silence And my doubts are cleared Listen to the music inside That is all that you have to do Can't you hear what it says to you, In these lifetimes?

Only time... by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Only time...

The sun sets and the moon rises The days are as numerous as the leaves on the ground And yet I can not remember a day going by That I did not think of you I have stopped noticing the grass growing And the leaves turning orange and red I've stopped caring if the sun rises And if there comes another day The seasons change And still my heart aches Longing for what it can not have Longing for what isn't there I wonder if the day will come That I'll begin to notice The leaves slowly fall to touch the bare earth Marking the passing of summer Winter leaves her trace Coating everything in white And as I sit by the crackling fire Wi

A new box by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

A new box

Night falls. People sleep. I lie awake, staring at a box. A box of memories, and promises. Promises of love, hope and even dreams. Dreams shattered in a flash. Those shattered dreams became a shattered reality, Bending thought and reason. Funny, I never wanted the stars I just wanted you. So I hold this box of distant memories, All of its pictures, all of the gifts, and the cards. Just distant truths from once happy times. So now start a new box. In doing so creating a new trust, a new heart, new love. A new box.

A lonely plain by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

A lonely plain

My heart wanders over a wide-open plain, Stumbling across the dirt, The land stretches before me, Echoing of loneliness and emptiness The sky grows dark with clouds Thunder sounds in the distance, Lightning flashes, expanding The vast empty space of the plains My soul cries out in the drenching rain Falling to my knees with despair Rain blurs my eyes so I cannot see But it does not matter For all I feel is the anguish and cold Deep within me I lie in the grass, Covered in dust turned to mud, Weeping bitterly But my cries cannot be not heard Over the roar of the storm My heart feels like it will burst Almost like an eruptin

Confusion by TamaCatori, literature

Literature

Confusion

Within a carefully watched circle We dance As the sparkle of other's eyes surrounds us, Traps us, suffocates us Our feet perform the same moves, Spinning us closer and farther from each other The heat radiates off us And the sweat shines brightly on our faces The closer we get, the faster we dance Our bodies moving seamlessly To the music of our pounding hearts The words of other's ripple through the air Whispering and predicting Weaving a silver wall of entrapment Deciding our future and our end Inside of the circle of prediction We sway Always moving, always face to face But never meeting eyes These feelings press down up

Stains

I have no more bandages to heal your wounds, they bled through anyways. You stained my skin with your pain. I didn't try to wash it off I let them spread holding the belief that you'd wait, allow me to get close enough to feel my stains. But I was asking too much from a beginner. For you had only ever revealed yourself to me, but you were not ready to see your image reflected back. One in the same our stains perfectly aligned but you never saw mine. I have no more time my scars won't heal waiting for you. Your wounds still bleed upon me seeping through the thin cloth, but no longer can I allow them to linger. Cold w

I changed my mind

0 min read

I guess I have decided to stay.  I think it's a good choice, I am happy with that decision.  I don't know what to say really, there have been so many highs and so many lows, it's really hard to describe what the last month has been like for me.  The people who read my last journal before I left, know that I was gone because of knee surgery, what only a few people know is that there were ...complications.  I had my leg amputated just above the knee, about midthigh.  I'm not telling you this because I want you to feel sorry for me, just the opposite. I intend to be very frank and if you don't  know what I am talking about, it could be VERY conf

It's hard to say goodbye

0 min read

I came back because this is the only way I have of telling some of the people whom I have grown so fond of, goodbye.  My life has gone in an unexpected direction and I no longer belong here.  For everyone who has been so kind to me, I thank you.  I may visit now and then, just to see how everyone is doing, it is not by choice that I leave here, I just think it's the right thing to do for several reasons.  I spent some of the happiest times of my life here (how sad is that?) and there are people here who have had a deep and lasting impact on me, and I will never forget you, not ever.  I really wish I could stay, I could use a few friends espec

Brief update

0 min read

I just thought I would pop in for a few minutes and let you all know how I am doing... I am struggling right now, with my health (it seems I have torn my ACL and need surgical repair) and my ribs are still very sore but I will overcome this, I just hate not being able to drive, I never realized how horrible it is to not be mobile.  But I drive a stick and a clutch is more than I can deal with at the moment.  I am having to take some time off from school because again...I can't drive and have nobody who is able to play taxi for me.  So I will have to repeat this semester.  Not a major biggie, I already know this stuff, it's just that I have t

It's a phoenix isn't it? I never saw a rainbow one like that but it's very pretty. And ...is it standing like that on purpose? I thought it might be symbolic or something, lol.
