Sunshine and Rain

Some people bring you sunshine; 
some people bring you rain. 

Some are the lightning. 
Brightly burning flashes 
of electric shock 
that leave your eyes glowing. 

Some are the thunder. 
Their mighty roar permeates the air 
like a whip's crack.
They can make hearts skip from fear

Some are the shining sun
The burn so bright that
when they leave
the darkness takes you over.

Some are the white fluffy clouds
On a royal blue day
Light and air
and move with the winds

Thunder may snarl,
but ultimately, it is followed by
a fast striking bolt that
screams nature's wonder

The clouds tumble and flit
And we make much of their shapes
But like the colors of the sky
They are quick to change

Some people bring you sunshine;
some people bring you rain.

My Selfie and Me



My selfie says: What?! 
That teacher is straight goofy
Facial expressions 
Like Monkey D. Luffy

She's the one with the ID
that says "Teacher"
Turns out they are 
The ones teaching her. 

Mrs. Bruce and her babies
At home and at school
Who said being a teacher
Couldn't be cool?

I Am a Force.

I am a force
A storm created by
Nature's fury. 

My eyes look ever upward
But in them, a cloud's reflection 
Streaked with tufts of doubt. 

Yet ever does the wind change
As the sun shines out those clouds
Bringing with its warmth new hope.

I am a force
A storm of quiet songs
And loud ramblings

My feet walk ever onward
Though to where I sometimes forget.
Consumed by daydream's company

But with every thought lost
A new memory is stored
Of fate's triumph and life's great woes

I am a force.
A storm that in its wake
Can change the world.

Charm

I plead with you, love...
Distract me with your charm ...
Take away the worlds weight...
In only the way you can ...

I have written...
thousands of words ...
Formed from the memories...
of passing smiles...

I have stood...
With my head a bit higher...
Because the shock of a gaze
Sent currents of pride

I have smiled ...
In my heart ...
From the whispered sound ...
Of a laugh remembered...

I have dreamed...
And hoped and lived...
At the whim...
of a frail hearts desire

So, I plead with you, love
Distract me with your charm
Make the night a brighter place
With the fire of your eyes.
