Dear Tom, Rick and Charlie, I love you, With all my heart, I swear this is true, My love for you is as deep as the ocean’s blue, I know, I know, I said it to it to him too, But that was last week and what I feel now is real, You are it, I swear you are the real deal, This is my truth, I no longer lie like I did in my youth, My love for you is pure, It is as deep as the ocean’s blue, I may not remember your name, But I never forget a face, And you have given my heart some sort of race, Oh, here is my heart, Bring it back when its hurt I swear you are my last, And this is not lust, You are my forever and ever, My happily ever never, I mean it, You and I will last, I know, I know, I said it to him too, But that was last week, I swear what I feel is real! 

Do Not Be Afraid...

This is what it must feel like to have a heart attack... Chest pounding, sweat dripping and eyes wide open. I know this room, I hear the birds signing their song outside, I am not having a heart attack. It was just a bad dream. I can't get the image of me squeezing the life out of my child in a crowded airport by the conveyor belt. See, just a few minutes ago, we had arrived at this foreign place and we were tired and couldn't wait to get our luggage and move on to the next leg of journey. The exhaustion didn't keep his curiosity at bay, to some extent, I worried that he suffered from FoMo, ( Fear of Missing Out ) and his little eyes were darting from up to down left to right, up and down. His little mouth could barely stay closed. I must have taken my eyes off him for a split second to grab a bag and when I turned back he was gone! Truth is, when I found out I was going to be a mother, I was afraid I would not make a good one, and the day I went into labor, I was afr...
How do I know when its real? A lot of us keep wondering when we will know when its real. We stay in hurtful or un-fulfilling relationships as we wait for a sign or for the right guy/girl to come along. We play along, we pretend, we lie...we string people along, play with their hearts and feelings because we are unsure of what we feel or are unaware of the reality of the relationship that we are in. In all honesty, if you do not want to be with someone then just leave. They say it is better to be alone than to be with someone who brings nothing but hurt. If it real, then you don't just make a promise to someone, you will go out of your way to keep them. You will stay committed to this person even when it is boring or when the grass seems greener on the other side. When its real, its not a task waking up next to that person for the rest of your life. When its real, its not enough to put a ring on her finger and give her a title and your last name. They become the best they can fo...
But you say that you love her... By Trent Shelton But you say that you love her, You always apologize but your actions stay the same Yet truthfully you are the reason why the girl is still rehearsing pain You play with her heart With no remorse in your soul to manipulate her heart, Has to be your hearts goal, But you say that you love her right? Every time she leaves that's when you do right Dreams of love bring her to fall down so tears fly her midnight, You had your fun because we know that's where the truth resides But you make her feel like she's over reacting So your guilt becomes captain to your lies But you say that you love her right? Trust, love, loyalty... How could she ever believe in those things again? Hurt probably channeled her mind to think that the world consists of a bunch of unfaithful men So you say that you love her But do you really believe that's true Because if you love her like you say bro, You wouldn't treat her like...
I listen to my heart break, I listen as it shatters and pains, I wonder how much it will take, To put it back in place, I wipe my tears from my face, Hope that I can go away from this place, And in the morning when I wake, I pray for strength to face this day.
Phenomenal Woman By Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size But when I start to tell them, They think I'm telling lies. I say, It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It's the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Pheno...
I wish the best for you, I wish you love, I wish you good health, I wish the very best for you... I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, See just how  perfect you look to me, Just how lovely and beautiful is that smile, I wish the very best for you... I wish I could validate all of my best days, So that I can erase all of your fears, So that I can dry all of your tears, I wish the very best for you.. I know sometimes good intentions do not come across well, I know sometimes what you want is no what you get, I pray that life keeps throwing a bunch of bliss at you, I wish the very best for you... I give you my heart, And promise to love, Forget the past and all the hurt, I wish the very best for you....

I sit here waiting to see your face, waiting to see the love or anger that is in your eyes. Those eyes that could light a thousand nights. I sit here and hope for your kiss, either one filled with love or anger doesn't matter I know I can't live without it. I sit here and your touch I miss, so much my life feels lonely and empty without it. I sit here and hope to smell your scent, that sweet fragrance that reminds me of flowers and calms my mind. I sit here and think of the hole in my whole whenever you are way. I think about what a  meaningless mess my life would be if you were not seating here across me. I sit here and think about how you are all that I want, I think of how hard it is for you to believe that a love like this could exist. I sit here and think of the silly fights, how a day without talking to you feels like music without sound. I think about the moment of introduction, about your charm and seduction. I wonder if the moments we are together, are as ...
Sometimes we find solace in the strangest of places, sometimes what you expected turns out to be completely different. After a while you realize just how important it is to keep and open mind, just how much easier it is to look at the glass half full. A lot of things happen in our lives and at the particular moment you have no idea why they are happening. We hurt, we cry... we lose ourselves in the wrong kind of people or get involved in wrong kind of thing.We fall in love and we give everything to someone and hope with every fibre in your being that this person will not break your heart. But more often than not they do, sometimes the don't mean to do it, but it happens anyway.And we do the only humane thing, we shut out the rest of humanity lock ourselves up in some dark closet and hurt. We cry, we get drunk and go completely off the rails. We hate, find solace in the arms of strangers and we hope that our hearts can be curved out of chests and put away in a box. We become stran...
Sometimes goodbye is the only way... We loved each other more than anything in the world, but as life would have it, love is not always enough. I looked at him, he was starring out into the world. Deep in thought, or maybe just dumbfounded. This wasn't the first time we had had this conversation, we had even gone our separate ways several times, but something was different about this time, it felt like it was the last time. I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked out in the balcony, it was a beautiful night. We sat there in silence and watched the night, the crickets making a sweet symphony. I knew this would be last time I would be this close to him. I lifted my hand and brought it close to his neck. I was tempted to touch him, hold him close. Kiss him. The emotions came rushing through me...I didn't want to break up with him. I did not want goodbye to be the only truth we knew. I stopped myself before I could ask him to stay. I loved him and he love...
After the tiring day I had today all I wanted was to sit on my balcony, pour some chilled white wine and finish reading 50 shades of Grey by E. L James. My mind was a bit preoccupied though, distracted could be a better word. Mostly by Christian Grey.... I smiled at the thought of this man, in my mind he was a god, he was perfection, I guess his indecent proposal made me think of him as the kind of guy you look at from a far and never really get with. I had my own god, who wanted everything to do with me. I pulled out the letter he had sent to me this morning, I had read it a hundred times over already, it looked like it was sent to me years ago. I smiled. My dear Isabel, I hope you have been well. Am from doing my usual morning run which is the only distraction I have that keeps me from going crazy. I miss you Bella, your face, your eyes, your laugh...I even miss that thing you do with your nose when you are irritated...but mostly my dear Bella I miss your smile, the way it ar...
Choosing a path means having to miss out on other things. I have my whole life a head of me and am mostly wondering if in the future I will come to regret the choices I have make now. I was not afraid of committing myself before, now I think I have this strange phobia to anything that could mean serious. I want to follow all possible paths and I worry that I might end up following none. After all the romantic disappointments, can I give of myself entirely? I fear pain, loss and rejection. These things will be inevitable on the path of love, and the only way of avoiding them is by deciding NEVER to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, I have to denounce love. Its like pulling out my own eyes not to see the bad things in life..
 You & Me... a party for two, a lovely melody at a distance, a full moon and ten thousand stars, the perfect night, none less than id hoped for, several sweet kisses, tender embraces the cool summer breeze sweeping over us, am so grateful for this secluded space tonight no guests are needed we'll serve in our own delight dressed in a gown and a tuxedo what an elegant sight candles glowing the warmth of such inspired love no distracting crowd shared pleasure is all we think of praising the quiet time our closeness is made sure left alone with such passion our bodies a perfect mixture a party for two we dine in ecstasy treating desires one to one the hours pass so wonderfully the air is fragrant we become even closer feeling all of loves magic appearing when we are together the stage is all ours for the most sensual show performed without an audience not a thought about tomorrow a midnight duet how beautiful it sounds played smoothly in darling souls Exotic harmonies abound Do...
I'm not perfect.. Am far from it...in fact, I rarely ever have easy Sunday mornings or enjoy the sunsets on Friday... My heart is like a giant cocktail of anger, depression, oppression, guilt, helplessness, hopelessness, torment, un-fulfillment, irritation, exhaustion...my emotions are running all over the place and I can barely keep my feet on the ground. I feel like a broken mirror, shattered in a million pieces...am unable to pick myself up and move on with life. Am unable to stand up and face this life. The elegance and class quickly turn into despair and this mask I hate has slowly become a part of me. In fact, I wear it better than I wear my face, It gives me a perfect smile and a great complexion. It hides the dark circles around my eyes. The light and the darkness underneath my skin have become a volcano...the heat is slowly building up inside me and am about to erupt.  I can't wish upon a star and hope that tomorrow isn't filled with ...
There's a light down at memory lane, Slowly and steadily fading away, Am still here, Holding on to dreams torn apart, Even with my broken heart, I still follow my heart, Am on my own chasing the sun, Trying like hell to catch my own shadow, And the shade in my heart, Tearing me apart, I thought I saw your face in the morning sun, I could have sworn  It was you I saw there... I thought I heard your voice as the wind passed me by, I could have sworn  It was you whispering my name... I'm indifferent but not unaffected, I cant pretend..I am over the edge... You are stuck in my head.. Still think you are laying in my bed, This cant be the end.....
A night of Lust & Lasts.... He banged the door shut and run down the stairs, what the hell had I just done? Who the hell had I become. I crawled up by the door and flooded myself in my tears. My castle was crumbling down. I knew in the depths of my hear what I wanted, I just didn't have the guts to face my fears. I guess walking into the unknown does that to you. Tonight was a night of lasts:- Last laughs, last conversations, last touch, last kiss...my emotions were  all over the place. My head was yelling "its better this way" and my heart was begging me to go after him. My feet were already out the door, I ran....I tried to catch up with him. I still wasn't sure what I was going to tell him. My heart was breaking, His heart was breaking. I just wanted one last chance. Not sure that would be enough, but it could be the start. He wouldn't talk to me, he wouldn't look at me, he wouldn't let me touch him. He pushed me away from his path. "Am in l...
13 th July 2012. A LETTER TO MY TEENAGE SELF... Dear Teenage Risa, You are a beauty and a gem, then and now….so stop tearing yourself apart trying to be everything all at once. You are messing your uniqueness and losing yourself, you are destroying YOU . Among the finest of God’s creation… SMILE , this will not only light up your day, but also the day of others.  Don’t try to be someone else. Keep walking around feeling like Cleopatra, that kind of CONFIDENCE will open doors you never even knew existed. DON’T struggle with PRIDE, this has been the downfall of many great men and women before and during my time…Don’t get too hung on your MISTAKES , you are yet to make your worst, but make sure you LEARN from them  and grow yourself. Learn everything and anything. Every day is a learning experience. Remember, the day you STOP LEARNING will be the day you start dying. Take your lessons seriously. RESPECT other people; respect their time and their space. List...
Dreams turned nightmares. I have been having nightmares. Nightmares about a love gone bad. About a lover ending my life. Every night this past couples of weeks the same dream. We are this lavish party, family and friends we having the time of our lives. The pain is agonizing and yet I stay alive. One right through my head and another on my spine. I don’t die. I lay here in my own pool of blood and watch all of you go on with your lives. Most of you stop and stare and you give me those pitiful eyes and move on, others don’t even notice the blood on their gorgeous shoes. That’s not my worry…my worry is why would a person I love so much want to hurt me so bad? You so easily pull the trigger of your forty five twice…you ignore the love we shared and the memories. The laughter, the joy…how could those mean so little to you? Is the line between love and hate really so thin? Lovers yesterday and war lords today? Love is not supposed to be so sad. Silly me, for loving you without asking why o...
I polished my makeup one last time and headed back to the restaurant. I hoped the mask I was wearing to cover the hurt would stay intact and I didn't have to excuse myself again. I walked towards Jude, I never really noticed how good looking he was, and as his stood up to meet me, I noticed how kind his eyes were. He pulled a chair for  me and then went to sit across the small table from me. I could really be happy with him. I could learn to love him. I mean, people do that all the time don't they? He called to the waiter and asked for the wine list. As the waiter turn, his soft brown eyes turned to look at me. " I love you Lexi...." "Ohhh noo......" My heart couldn't keep an opinion to itself for five minutes. " I told you he was going to do this...all you had to do was listen to me....you always going with what the head says...this is going to be a disaster" I didn't take my eyes off of him. I didn't want him to know that I was no...
