Away

A Round Table Challenge



hAng on.
i will fly you to the moon
make you kiss the clouds
and say hello to the stars
then the two of us will fall
float, fly, then fall
our eyes Watered with glee
two spirits finally become free
All of this will happen,
if you will just know mY name.

Writing From A to Z

Create a short story that is 26 sentences long. Each sentences must begin w/ letters of the alphabet. Include descriptions of people, places you'll go to, thing/activities that you will do, etc.

I got this message from Facebook a couple of days ago. It was another assignment that my landlady's son ask me to do. Before, when I thought that I will not be able to do it or if it will take too much of my time, I don't do it. But I find the assignment pretty interesting. :D It is challenging. It's difficult starting sentences with X and Z, LOL. What was more fun was the student need it by yesterday at three in the afternoon, I woke up at 2:00 pm, so imagine how much I rushed this one. It feels like being a student again. :D

I was able to finish it though, I am just not sure if it is good enough.


As the sky turn from blue to salmon, the waves of the Pacific turns from rough to tranquil. By the shore, a girl sat in one of the rocks. Crimson colour dress, hair black as the night sky, a face like an angel and with her sun kissed skin; it will be hard not to notice her.
During this time she sits on the rock, people think that she just love watching the waves but Brida has more reason to sit on her rock, stare at the vast ocean in front of her, and wait. 
Exactly a year ago, Brida met a boy named Francois. Francois came from the city and was visiting the town to start a family business. Generous, he is just generous. He makes sure that while his business is booming in the fishing village, all will also benefit from his success. In one of the town parties, he met Brida, and since that night they never been apart. Joy filled their hearts, Brida have the best days and the warmest of nights, and everything seems perfect until Francois left for the big city.
Knowing that she cannot join him, Brida waited. “Learn to be patient, he will be back, he promised” she keeps on telling herself. Man from her town started pursuing Brida but she never notices them. No one even make Brida forget Francois, all she know is that he promise that he will be back. Only she can understand what her heart is going through. “Promises are meant to be broken,” one of her suitors said. “Quit saying that, you are not him,” Brida replied.
Regrets start to cloud her thought, suppressing all the things she feel and now, she is starting to feel hopeless. Sincerity starts to fade and as Brida walk her way home, she felt something. Tears started to fell as the wind touch her face in a familiar, comforting, and glorious way. Understanding that her waiting came to an end, she whispers another goodbye to her Francois. 
“Voyage safe, my love, until we meet again,” She murmured. Winds touch her face again, embracing her, comforting her, and for the first time, she smiled. Xylophones were being played by her people; she hums the familiar tune while telling herself that she will let Francois go.
Yet, she still doesn’t know the truth. Zeus crashed Francois’ boat to the ocean floor a year ago.

So, how do you find it? Man, this was really tough. I don't even have a title for this, blame my landlady for rushing things. But it was fun.

Too Late to Wait

A Round Table Challenge

Let me make this quick.

Both of us are going in circles. Words, arguments, and blame get so repetitive and yes, it gets tiring.

You know what you did to me?  Its ironic thinking that we keep on saying that we don’t hurt each other.

But, still, both of us are in pain. Now, I guess I am numb, but I am glad I am ending this now.

Shh… Don’t even start to explain, I am not listening. Don’t ask me to sit and talk about this, because we are done with that. It never work, and I know it will not work now. Let us spare the two of us from more hurt.

So Darling, never ask me to stay, or to wait. Because its too late.

In My Dreams


Sleeping Beauty


in my dreams, the world is endless,

the sky change from saffron to vermillion to cerulean,

the rain tastes like lime,

and the air smells like blood orange.

in my dreams, i move gracefully.

like a bamboo swinging when the cold november wind blew.

i dance with felicity.

i swirled and twirled and do side steps.

the pas de bourrée, pirouettes, and the piqués are on point.

in my dreams, i sang the songs of love and joy.

i compose the melody that will make you feel a warm glow of contentment.

in my dreams, i drew inspiration from the sycamore and the robins.

then, i belt out a lullaby to make all creatures slumber.

in my dreams, it’s a whole new world.

a world created by me and for me,

where pain and desperation never exists,

and where happy thoughts can lift you up in the air.

in my dreams

i fly through the stratosphere with the moon on my background

i swim and discover the world below the waves.

in my dreams

my world is beautiful, wonderful and astonishing.

but, in my dreams, i am alone.

and though surrounded with beauty, in my dreams, i am lonely.

in my dreams, i dream of one thing.

i want the dreaming to end.

Grind With Me

Grind with me.

I don't want to dance anymore. Lights are already hurting my eyes and burning my exposed skin. The fumes from cigarettes are worst than the smoke machine that this old place has. You just don't know how much I want to cover my face, though I am doing this for quite a while now, it still feel embarrassing. Though I am doing this for quite a while now, I am still not used to how people stare. Some of them stare like I am a centerpiece on a buffet; they want to have a piece of me. Some give me the pitying glances where I do not find any sincerity. And most of them just stare because it is my job to make them stare at me, want me, and love me.

Common, grind with me.

I promise I will give you a good time. I will make you feel good. I will tell you stories that you want to here. I will make you feel wanted and beautiful. I will do the things that you want. But everything is for a price. Common, we all know that nothing is free now. So, make sure that you have what I need and I will surely give you what you need and always wanter.

Baby, grind with me.

But never fall for me. And in case you did, make you that you will not just love me – you also need to love my daughter. Here, see her picture. See how lovely she is? Of course, she comes from my genes – good genes. Everything I do is for her so if you want to marry me, you also have to marry her. Package deal, baby!

In case you did, you have to also know where you will stand. You need to understand my job and the consequences of being in love with someone like me. Yes, I can be what you want me to be in your life, but remember that you will never be my only one. A lot of people want me, you know. Some of them are way better that you, you know? And for someone like me, I will always with the biggest catch. If that is not who you are, then you can fall for me, but don't go blaming me for crushing your heart.

Please, grind with me.

Yes, I will act like I want to see you, that I want to be with you. But, I am a good actor you know? I can pretend that I miss you, and that I cannot live without you. But they are just acts, baby. Because I need you. Sorry, I need your money. So even if I have to beg for you to see me, and my moves, and my hot body, I will do that because I need you.

And you know you need me too.

This is who I am.

Are you ready to grind with me?

Clouds

 

So close, but still so far.

It feels like I am the dark clouds and you are the immeasurable ocean below me. With the sun’s warmth, you will complete my way of life. You will make the cycle turn. You will help me create or destroy, cultivate or destruct, nurture or annihilate, and bless or leave someone hopeless.

It’s amazing how you affect me, though we seem so close, yet, so far.

Up above, everything is dwarf like. The details are so precise. Like an amazing work of art that describe how the earth’s surface differs – desserts are smooth, mountains show its peak, and the vast plains seems to be a never-ending shade of emeralds. Trees will be the lime dots in the brown soil. Rivers and highways are the snake like lines that doesn’t have a beginning or an end. Skyscrapers are the small square like creations surrounded by ant like cars. Circles describe relationships between places and people.

From where I am, you are just part of the whole masterpiece.

You are just a dot in the whole mix of colors. A pixel jumbled with all the browns, beiges, oranges and blues. You are supposed to be nothing, but up above; you are the only thing I see.

I am just your best friend. While you are the reason why I feel suspended in thin air, fantasizing how magical the world can be once you are beside me. You just don’t help me exist. You help Dreaming more exciting.

You are so close, but still, so far.

And you just don’t know how much I want to smash into you.
