I think I'm going to share some journal entries out of my red plaid journal - the one I spoke of in my first entry on here. Since there are a couple of things I want to share I will just put them all in this one entry. I apologize now if it gets too long. ;)

Into my life, he crept. No questions or doubts were considered. His tales of loves' misfortunes fell upon my ear; words of wisdom and encouragement I did utter. My heart he did make stutter, for within its cavity he did seep. Questions I now long to ask begin to form on my lips. Soon my fears gain control; those questions dissipate. This tale of love - my great misfortune - shall never fall upon his ear.

Driving along the desolate highway -
Looking out a window,
Gazing upon multifarious faces.
Their vacant eyes beseeching the heavens.
Jagged noses marring their guise -
Twisted mouths suggesting an everlasting wail.

Driving along the desolate highway -
Looking out a window;
I realize the abundant faces are not!
Not faces at all, rather the cliffs.
Distressing images infringe upon me.
Ghostly reflections of the dejected and starveling -
Haunting pictures of the neglected and rapidly dying.

Driving along the desolate highway -
Looking out a window;
Glimpsing forever lost spirits
Encased in the cliffs along the forlorn highway,
Being touched by the faces, forever saddened
By my troublesome thoughts.
*I wrote that one while traveling down Oregon. I'd fallen asleep right before we'd left Washington, growing too hot in the car I started to wake and the first thing I noticed were the cliffs. In my sleepy state I thought the cliffs were faces of some kind. As I gradually woke up the above thoughts drifted through my mind so I captured them in my journal. Yet another reason I travel with a journal at hand lol.

Take my hand in your hand.
United we shall stand.
We will face all
our earthly fears together.
With a love as strong as ours; we shall
Remain Forever.

Forever More
Tonight you shall vanish
from my reach.
But can you distinguish
the things I long to teach
before you slip away once more?
Today my heart breaks,
and you can't hear my cry.
Why do I allow the stakes
to get so high with the escape of my empty sigh?
Soon the pain will come once more!
In the morn you shall be gone
from my side.
I can only ask, how long?
Am I asking too much; to let my heart be the place you reside?
Or is it my destiny that you should leave once more?
Dusk is approaching all too soon.
My stomach is slowly beginning to churn.
After you're gone, my gaze will find the moon
and my tears will begin to burn.
I cannot allow you to see my pain once more.
For now I will rest
In the comfort
of your warm caress,
and I will try to fight off the hurt;
for this moment I must cherish Forever More.
