Once in a Blue Moon

Erdalito

Sigh.
I had one of those days today.
Those days when life just sucks.

I'm not saying that everything went wrong.
I still had some bright moments.
Moments which, on any other day would warrant an ear to ear grin from morning til night.

But there was just too much doom and gloom hovering above my head to truly appreciate them today.
And when I got home, I was just...frustrated. And exasperated.
I just wanted to sink to the floor and cry because I felt like I was drowning.

It will pass. And I look forward to that (:

In Time.

Taken from Trickery

Spoken, words alone no longer move me.
I am not young, not so easily tempted by surging waves of emotion
I now know that these tempest do pass.

Solitude, the idea no longer scares me.
I am strong, silent horizons with absent shores do not phase me
I am enough to be my own company.

Stirring, sometime I still feel a flutter.
In those moments of weakness, I still wish for the excitement of a devoted passion or a star-crossed destiny.
In those moments, I remind myself

I am not a slave to my heart but a believer in the strength of a rational mind.

Frostbite.

Alex Hubert

The damp pillow clings to the cheek

Heavy, the swollen lids struggle

Blink away the dewdrops stuck between the lashes

Fight each drop that trickles down

Leaving a chilling trail,

An invisible cold stain.

Bit,

By bit,

Frostbite sets into the heart.
