The Purple Island

 The Purple Island 

Gallagher 1948

The smell of humidity in the air lets us know we've arrived
The palm trees guide us down the road like Earth's own natural GPS
The coral structure emerges on the left,
leaving the car to feel like it's going to explode from the anticipation
Inside the lobby I am engulfed by the thick air conditioning,
wearing it like a heavy winter coat.
The coral color theme is everywhere like I remember it to be

When things go wrong

When things go wrong as they sometimes will.

        When the funds are low..        

               REMEMBER!!!

  Success is failure turned inside out!

 So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

Pain Inside

  Pain Inside   

By Ashley White

I search for happiness

 I search for happiness 

Katie Warmbier 

Visions of my life are getting much clearer

introduced to my future,

now I know why I fear her

sadness, death, and surprises

stare at me unblinking in the mirror

unexpected pregnancies neurotic tenancies

this happiness and good events are unfound

all I wanna be is a queen

where is my crown, why the permanent frown?

I woke up today changed

this sun is much brighter

a different view through this bedroom window pain

gotta keep my hope cause she's a rider

I believe in heaven more than hell

successes more than fail

exposing my weakness

I refuse to keep this vale

I have a dream

my dream is to be free

my dream is to be me

my dream is to be happy

Story of two thought's

Anne Moore

There are two thought's inside me. One of the thought's is mean and evil. The other is good. The mean thought fights the good one all the time. . . which usually wins . . . the one I feed the most.

Change is bad when it leads to disappointment

Change is bad when it leads to disappointment. 

It might be worsening anger. It might involve growing addicted to something unhealthy or unsettling. Or change might result from medical issues—a stroke, a crippling accident, or the development of a mental disorder

It’s hard to give up old grudges. It’s hard to abandon old habits. It’s hard to see old friends walk away because they don’t like the new direction your life is taking as a follower of Christ. Just be sure of this: God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you"

We can be grateful that God does not change. He does not go back on His promises.

Broken Heart Perspective

I’m ugly because that’s what you instilled in my mind. A dove to the majority but just another piece of ass to you. Why must I feel so low when others think so highly and greatly of me. Like I said before you can’t look at a “beautiful” person and assume their life is perfect. Assume and you make an Ass of yourself, its clearly written. I promise I will use what love is left that you have not taken and expand it and make my [Man] fully content. Yes I said Man because I don’t want a next guy or boy because that’s what I been dealing with.. Someone who will build me up and when im up, not stop but stack me on top of myself until I die. I will not do it out of vengeance because God takes care of all my dirty work, I will do it for myself and you’ll see on your own how a Man should treat and take care of a young lady.

Through a view, I see your not once, not twice, but three times a lady and I love you and I want to give you more than Just looks into an introduction of what my love life been like

With just a glimpse or two, if I could have anything in the world it would be to more than just love you

I’ll rub you I’ll curb you I love you I love you, I love you three times more than a father love its child

My love comes in reciprocity 360 turn around the neck an owl my love is.

I’m that old man at the park, summer nights and summer days, day to day sitting down on the bench watching the children play, daydreaming about my youth

I want you like old wants new, the way new wine needs new skins in biblical days

I will express my love for you in multiple ways

Hope we grow old

Can’t you tell from the looks in my eyes I’d give you my all right now

If people fall in love I’ve found the deepest hole right now.

If life was a game of soccer my heart is the ball the players kick around, and opponents try to postpone, I keep on Running and push strong, my love has no hold when you’re the goal.

I need you more than a deceased body needs a soul

Your life to me, is life to me, don’t leave from me separating from you I’ll seize breathing freezing life ceasing degrees Dropping colder than dry ice air space is to me between we!

The blood shedding pressures of life made you more than a girls best friend you have no price my blood diamond.

How ever many kids you want, name them number them, I’ll provided them, then provide for us, for them.

Them will know they daddy love them, but you still push me away cause your hearts broken from them and like a idiot in Love, I said I’d take the blame, but sorry!

Sorry my love isn’t great enough relinquish the pain they made, but to the grave I’ll try

Partially Indian Black Foot the Brave I am super the man I am your hero those zeros won’t come near you or hear from You!

You’ll live on an other planet with me where we breathe love and breed doves, peace 

Although we ain’t met yet, I don’t know your name, you don’t know me, the only thing that met between us was eyes, Yet I can’t let go, from the looks of it you can’t either, if your eyes ain’t leaving and my eyes ain’t either.

How bout we see our future together until we stop breathing?

Look deep in my eyes, deep in you knows this where forever beings, I see the pain in your eyes

Won’t you let forever being!

Won’t you let forever begin?

Take my hand this is where forever begins

True love doesn't have a happy ending, because true love never ends. Letting go is one way of saying I love you.

Imagination is stronger than knowledge.

In life, there's many things that we have to learn to let go. We have to let go of situations, things, memories, people and even ourselves.

One-Way Road

by Yesie Kaulitz

(@missyesie)

Dark cold road, spines and stones, cracks and holes,

I hear demons screaming they want my soul, oh no!

Dear Guardian Angel never let me go,

I’m still miles away but soon this will end,

My destination Sky-high Way,

I’m going to the top because that’s where I belong,

I will achieve my goal and shine like gold.

Red, Red Wine...

by Raquel Brown (@dakinigirl)
As I sit here, twirling my glass of Pinot Noir, admiring it's rich color and aroma, I can't help but think of the process it took to get this wonderful piece of heaven into my wine glass.

So many different steps carefully executed, so much nurturing love poured into this masterpiece, starting at the harvesting of the sweet grapes and ending in a bottle for all to savor.

Well, relationships are quite like that beautiful bottle of wine. You have to create them, nurture them with some TLC, maintain them, and cherish them.

No one said it would be an easy task. Yes, relationships can be at times very frustrating, but with a little love, compassion, and patience, you too can create a wonderful piece of heaven.

No, I'm not speaking from experience. I'm not writing this from a comfy couch, wrapped in my sweetheart's arms. Truth is, I have no sweetheart. My past experiences can be compared to, unfortunately, a bad bottle of wine or two. Some wine makers can relate. I'm still waiting on my perfect harvest.

So, the moral of my story is, don't rush into or ignore love, but take good care of it. Shower it with attention, sprinkle it with some kindness, and above all, maintain the proper balance of gentle love and care. You can never go wrong with this recipe, I promise.

The Wondering Mind

by Raquel Brown (@Dakinigirl)
As I walk the streets, listening to the endless chatty chatter of the busy city life, my mind wonders. Takes off, like a balloon full of helium, up in the sky it floats. Watching couples hand in had....admiring the beauty of their Love. And in that very moment...I can't help but wonder, will Love ever find its way to me? Or will like that balloon full of helium, stay suspended in the air?

Devil's Dance

by Yesie Kaulitz (@MissYesie)

Devil, Devil, Devil, disguised as an angel,

You dance around me like a ballerina in stilettos,

You shoot your words like cupid throws his arrows,

You aim for my heart , promise to never let go,

Believing can be easy when looks are deceiving,

My wall is higher than your desire,

Devil, Devil, Devil dance away,

My heart you won’t break

I See You Admiring My Exterior Design

A Different One
by Pinay Cheex

A heart is just able to take a certain amount of pain. If that limit is reached who knows what will happen... this depends on that individual who is suffering. Why even let it come this far? That's a big question.

When you want something so bad and you get a little grip or glimpse of it, you end up not wanting to let go.
Why? Because it feels good?
This bittersweet taste of love is happiness and pain because you know it's not all yours. I guess you'd say sharing is caring, huh? Right... Stuck in bittersweet memories.

Is it the fear of losing that person completely or completely losing yourself?
Now that's something for yourself to decide... It might even be a twist of both.
What a pity it is giving your heart - your everything - to basically nothing?
Empty words, promises, the whole emptiness feeling.
Is that what or who is accompaning me?

Cigarette
by MondoThePoet

The other day,I smelt a cigarette and thought of you
I'm thinking about patching a nicotine patch to my heart to attach the brokenness
I fiend for you
I tried quitting you but my addiction has me running back to you
The inhale of you... Is piercing to my lungs my tongue
I can taste you
They say cigarette smokers aren't addicted to the smoking but the finger to lip touch
I concur, I miss when our lips touch.
I tried the replacements
I tried the chewing gum, but my jaw opening and closing
Tongue moving in motions is the exact replication
Of you in my mouth... When your coming. I can still hear you moaning
Why am i lonely?
Give me your body to suck on.
In front of friends I will breathe you out openly
Doctors say, your bad for me, but what do they know
Every drug is bad for you, but just like an addict...
I will use you to death
A white cloud of you will be my last breath,I want to die with you
Waking up in cold sweats
I'm going through withdraw... shaking shivering
Warm me with your lips
A warm kiss from your nicotine lips
My lungs will never be mine again
I breathe for you
Each breath for you... For you... For you to be with you
Fuck Rehab, I'm addicted to you
Just wish, I was a cigarette to you
