Day 4 - The pawn

Moving forward
One step
At a time
Never moving backwards
So the past
Remains unseen
And forgotten
Simply because
When I look towards
The future
And see what's in front
Of me
All I see
Is the end
Of the game
Hoping that I make it
To the Queen
As other pieces
And players are chosen
Over me
Moving quicker
Or faster
In more intricate motions
Than just
Moving forward
One step
At a time
And one by one
Each piece
Is lured
Conquered
And pushed to the side
By you
I wait patiently
And watch you play
This game
Until its my turn to
Move.
Forward.
Check mate.

Day 3 - Pitiful soul...

A pitiful soul
Is not really
Pitiful
Just tempered
And reserved
Taking just a few more
Seconds
To think things
Through
Taking a few more
Moments
To enjoy
This thing called life
Understanding that time
Has no time limit
So precious
It has to be cherished
And not taken
For granted
A tempered soul
Reserved
And serene
Taking a little bit
More time
To care
To feel
To love.

30/30 Day 2 - The good...

Why is it
That people always
Remember the bad things
You've done
Before they even
Acknowledge
The good
In you
That one mistake
Never forgiven
Never forgotten
No matter how much
People try
And convince you
That they have
They always find a way
To bring it up
Once more
Attacking and badgering
The good in you
Because the good things
Actions, words
And everything in between
Is never
Good enough.

30 poems in 30 days... Day 1 - She never...

She never had to
Say a word
Because I already knew
Exactly
What was on her mind
I knew
Her every
Mental step
A connection
That was formed
The moment
Our eyes met
Telling the story
Of our lives
And a love
That will last
Forever

This month's challenge is 30 poems in 30 days... I realize that there are 31 days in august, but day 31 will be a reflection of this experience... I hope you all enjoy...

Does Your Wife Have To Be Your Soulmate?

I feel that your wife SHOULD be your soulmate because there will always be that missing piece of you that lies within your soulmate that your wife does not possess. No matter how much in love you are with your wife, or convinced that she is truly "the one," with a void as deep as missing your soulmate, can you really function and be that spouse that your wife (or husband) needs 100%? At what point will you or your spouse be so overwhelmed with this feeling of incompletion that you or they just up and leave? 5 yrs, 10yrs, 20 or more yrs? Or do we just become content and complacent with not spending the rest of our lives w/our soulmate that we substitute our spouse or partner into that position and just live with it?

I'm sorry, but I'd rather marry my soulmate than have a wife that may never be able to complete me in that way. Until its revealed to me that my soulmate and I are not supposed to be married but just be a presence in each other's lives forever, then I prefer to be by myself...its the safest thing to keep feelings from being misconstrued and/or hurt...I can stand hurting myself, just not bringing pain to others...

I know she's out there though... And I've probably already met her...

Just some thoughts...

Peace.

change...

Peace to all... I know I haven't blogged in a few weeks, but thing have been busy in my world... I'll try to do better...

Tonight/this morning's topic is change... A word that is frequently used, but like love, few people know the true meaning... Or it gets misconstrued along the way so that things people do is interpreted as change, when it really isn't...

To change can mean a total revamping of your life, or altering what you do already...change can be simple or complex... Something simple would be changing the time that you normally go home, or the route you take. Something complex would be...transitioning whether it be gender, a new job, a new location, et cetera.

Some people change for the good, and some for the bad, due to influence, peer pressure, opinions, or whatever... But I feel that true change begins with yourself...if you're not ready to take the steps to change, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or how they feel... The change is not genuine if its not going to be through and through... That's just like trying to motivate and help someone who doesn't feel it in their heart... Prepare to bang your head against that brick wall you've been talking to all along...

The point of this blog is to simply state...if you need a change, do it...what's the worst that can happen? You will discover that its not for you...and that's perfectly fine...you never know until you try. But don't base your changing on pleasing or appeasing others. True friends will always be there for you, even if it takes you a while to realize the need for change. Every man/woman must take his or her own journey through life and the changes that come with it... Just be there for your friends no matter what they're going through...no one deserves to experience this thing called life alone.

If your change has come...embrace the change, love the change, and live the change...if not, then it's coming...just be patient and be the best person you can be until you can bring the change to your current situation and circumstances...

Change is what the world is all about, just make sure you're changing for the good and doing positive things...

Peace.
