I made a vow
To love and hold and cherish
And as time goes rolling by
I will I will I do.
Author Vonita
Cradle
My hands cradle the emptiness I feel inside
And yet I know
It is the emptiness that gives my hands the delicate touch it so desperately
Needs.
Onwards Forever
I celebrate my strength
My resolve in creating a better self
And though I pain inside –
My old comfort lost forever
I cannot now go back.
Onward I go.
Antidote
The biggest antidote to the nothingness inside
Is to focus attention elsewhere
Create something
Make something
Learn something
Write something
And when all is said and done
At least there will be that
Something
In the nothing.
Software Developer Quote of the Day
There’s a bit of a flaw in this code.
New Winds
Old winds fly by forever
Never to be captured or contained
The trick is to
Accept nature at her word:
Fresh winds bring fresh
Worlds
Patience is key.
Question
I stopped looking
And for a brief moment
You found me.
If I stop searching
Looking
Desiring
Perhaps for a longer moment
I will be found?
Desperation
Like a tsunami devastating
Everything in its sight
Emotions arise
Devouring our best
Intentions
We are left discarded –
Thrown against a blackened road
Our broken bones bruise our
Flesh
And when all calm returns
The only thing we can cling to
Is a desperate
Hope.
Pain
The first cut
Apparently
Is the deepest
So I sliced myself
Over and over and over
Again
So I would never feel that
Lonely depth of pain
Anymore.
Relentless
A black hole grows inside me and threatens to swallow me whole
The more I cast into it the more I am consumed
I am being eaten alive and the pain is
Relentless.
