Writing Frenzy

Doubt (Painfully amateur. Made up right on the spot.)

"Oh Lucy! How exciting!" Lydia ran and wrapped me in a hug. The news of my engagement was spreading through my hometown quite quickly.
"I know, I'm so happy!" I smiled and held my hand out to flash the ring one more time, I couldn't help but look at it as well. It was so wonderful to think that I was so in love. I really couldn't stop smiling.
Lydia, ever the romantic, started to pepper me with questions. What was his name? How did we meet? When would I bring him to Austrona, our beautiful hometown?
I laughed. "Slow down, Lydia. His name is Oliver Matthews. I'll tell you how we met later. I'll bring him to Austrona soon."
"Oh fabulous!!! You must come to my party tonight and tell all!" Lydia was begging with her eyes and positively beaming, I just couldn't say no.

*********

The minute I arrived at the party I was swarmed by well wishers and young girls awaiting my story. I loved telling this story.

"I was at a charitable bazaar. There was dancing of course, I danced with several different gentlemen, but none seemed to sweep me off my feet. After my third or fourth dance I was quite thirsty, as I made my way to the punch table I bumped into him and very nearly fell, but luckily he caught my waist. The minute I looked into his eyes I knew that this man was the man for me and I haven't doubted since."

I finished the story with a smile on my face and some of the girls had tears in their eyes. I laughed at them and asked, "Why on earth are you crying?"

"It's so beautiful Lucy." They replied as they dabbed their eyes.

"Oh come now, I want to hear about you girls. What have I missed?"

All of the girls broke into grins and Lydia spoke for them."Well, there's a new boy in town, he's the cousin of Tristan Redd. We all adore him, he's so dashing!"

"Well he sounds wonderful, will he be here tonight?"

"YES!" Every girl shrieked with excitement and started giggling. I smiled at them, all of this giggling reminded me of our school days.

"What's his name?" I asked.

A deep velvet voice from behind sent my heart into a frantic race said, "Gabriel Tate."

I turned and looked into his handsome chiseled face, his emerald green eyes and for the first time, I doubted......

Farewell Poem

2009-07-29T00:27:00.000-06:00

Vivid memories flash through
my mind, it’s so hard to
leave them behind

Your voice continually echoes
inside my brain driving
me to the outskirts
of insane

I know what it is I am
forced to do but I
risk losing the memory
of you

I know that to walk away
I must and the end to our
story, with fate I must trust

So I bid you farewell from my
dreams and my mind and pray that
happiness is all you find

I Love You

2009-07-29T00:25:00.002-06:00

I Love you,I always have
always will
when I see you smile at me my
world stands still
I want you to love me more than anything
in the world
I wish that for one second I could be your girl
But I'll wait for our turn
to dance, I know that some day
I'll get my chance
But until then I will
Love you, I always have, I always will

I Remembered

2009-07-29T00:25:00.001-06:00

Blocking the pain was supposed to be easy, letting go was supposed to be easy, forgetting was supposed to be easy, and it was until I heard your name, and I remembered how I was the one that knew your schedule, it was easy until I walked into the store and remembered how we would go shopping together, it was easy until I walked past the fountain and remembered how we tried to throw each other in, it was easy until I stood in the pouring rain and remembered how much fun we had splashing through puddles, it was easy until I saw the blue sky and remembered your eyes, it was easy until I saw the stars and remembered how we would take walks late at night.
It was easy until I remembered....then I missed you.

Reasons

2009-06-17T20:29:00.002-06:00

Reasons why it would
work and why it won't

Reasons to forget you
and yet something inside
is screaming "Don't!"

Reasons to push you away
Reasons to beg you to stay

Reasons to tell you
Reasons to show you

Reasons to let you know.....

For all these reasons
I can and can't let you go

This poem was written by one of my friends and she wishes to remain anonymous
.....................................................................................................................
I've realized that for you
I live

I've realized that for you
I'd die

But I've realized that you
no longer need me and
I say it's okay through a lie

I wish I knew what you
were thinkin

I wish I knew what you felt

I wish I knew how to deal with
this before all the cards were
dealt

I love that we're on the same page

I love that you've made some mistakes

I love that you know what I've been through
down to the littlest heartbreaks.

I like how you have a past even though
you don't like to look back

I know we can get through together
no matter how much we lack

I love all your quirks
all your problems

I like to make them my own

I love how we can sit up all night
and just talk on the phone

But still I wish I knew how to
quit you

I wish I could and it's lame
cause you play around with my
feelings, and my heart's not up for
a game

Without Love

2009-04-20T10:47:00.003-06:00

A heart without love
knows no joy, no feeling

A heart without love never
finds itself reeling

Never spins in a world
full of unexpected turns

Never pines, never burns

A heart without love is
empty and hollow void of
any hope for tomorrow

The sun will rise and set the same way, beginning
and ending another bleak day
on a heart without love

Linger

2009-04-16T13:41:00.005-06:00

A lingering thought
and I get lost in a
daydream, hope I don't get
caught

A lingering smile
and I let you stay
in my heart for a while

A lingering touch and
I stop breathing, but
then again that doesn't
take much

A lingering kiss?
not yet, but that is
something I don't
intend to miss

Standing at the door
Please just linger a little
longer...

Just Words

2009-04-16T13:39:00.004-06:00

Words are just
words but they
cut so deep

Right into
my heart they
seep

But they don't
mean a thing and
they're not
something I can keep

Please don't say things
that lead me to believe anything
more than what you mean

Because your words are just
words and that's all
they'll ever be

I Believe

2009-04-16T13:33:00.004-06:00

I believe.
I dream.
I hope.

I believe in miracles
I dream of miracles
I hope for miracles

I believe in peace
I dream of peace
I hope for peace

I believe in happiness
I dream of happiness
I hope for happiness

But most of all

I believe in love
I dream of love
I hope for love

Because love is a miracle
Because there is peace where there is love
and because love brings happiness

One Look

2009-04-16T13:28:00.004-06:00

You caught me looking at you
I tried to hurry and look away,But it was too late

I looked at you and caught you
looking at me, you tried to hurry
and look away, but it was too late

I looked at you and caught you
looking at me, you tried to hurry
and look away, but it was too late

And that is how it all began…

I look into your eyes and you
look into mine and we vow
to stay together for all time

We know that just
five years ago it was look
that made us, and we know
hat nothing will ever break us

Now we live a life
together and with just
one look at one another
we both seem to think and say
I love you.

This story is one that I would like to call a "popcorn" story, I wrote a little bit and then would add everyday. Well eventually I stopped adding, this is far as I got. It doesn't have a title and I don't really know where to take it. I'm sure there are several grammar mistakes, but ignore them. Hope you like it =D

.........................................................................................................................................................................

Dear Ariana, How are you? I'm well, I keep busy. I can't say much, this letter could be traced to easily and for that same reason I ask that you not write back, your letters won't reach me. I move around too much. I'm never in the same place long. I just want you to know that I'm alright, and I'll be home soon. I love and miss you. Stay out of trouble, I'm not there to protect you. Love your big brother Aayden

Ariana looked down at her brother's tiny handwriting and wished she could see him and talk to him in person. He'd disappeared two months ago and ha no idea why or where he went. She couldn't ever write back because he was always on the move. Her parents had hired private investigators to look for him, but to no avail.

Ariana saved all of her brother's letters in a box under her bed, which is where she stashed the latest one before her mom called her down for dinner.

Dinner was a dismal event.
"How was your day, Ari?" Her mother asked at an attempt to ease the silence and growing tension.
" It was long. Could you please not call me 'Ari'?"
"I'm sorry, I just thought it would make you feel better."
"Aayden was the only person that ever called me that." Ariana's reply was a little more harsh than she had intended.

"I'm sorry." Her mom's voice cracked and she hung her head to hide the tears.

Ariana's father didn't have much to say, he just continued eating. Ariana was sick of the tension and the silence.
"May I be excused?" Her father looked up and nodded. Ariana pushed away from the table and retreated to her bedroom. She flung herself on her bed and let the tears fall until her eyelids began to feel heavy and she couldn't fight sleep any longer...

As Ariana slipped into a deep sleep, she dreamed...None of it seem connected, all she could make out were bits and pieces, and some of it was blurry. She kept seeing images of Aayden running into an old warehouse, just as she was going to investigate, the scene changed to a man she'd never seen before, she began walking toward him when the scene changed again to a group of men dressed in long coats an top hats, one of them pulled a gun out of his coat and aimed it straight at her, she tried to run but couldn't move. She heard the gun go off and...jerked awake. The sound of the gun from her dream woke her up. She sat up and tried to make sense of her dream, her dream didn't answer any questions, she still didn't know where Aayden was. She had more questions to add to her long list: Who was the man? Why was Aayden running and what was he running from? Who were the men in the top hats?.....

Ariana hasn't told anyone about the dreams she's had about Aayden, she can't remember them when she wakes up, but she know that they hold the secret of her brother's whereabouts...

Time is ticking away
there are so many lives
to save

One mistake and
it's all done, pick a
wire to cut, but
which one?

Red, yellow, or blue
six seconds to go
your decision is due

Five, four
pick your color

Three, two
blue is the one
to stop the harm

One, zero
Beep. Beep. Beep.

Don't worry that's
just your alarm.
