Leona sat on Steve's bed. "Look directly in my eyes and keep focused there. I want you to open your mind and answer the questions I ask." As she spoke, her voice carried a wave that opened Steve's mind and brought his memory to ultimate sharpness. Steve's eyes looked directly at Leona's and his body relaxed at the sound of her voice. Within seconds, he was under her control. Leona was new to glamouring, but she watched An...

Chapter 2: I snapped up instantly to my feet. I walked towards the door, although I halted as the words kept repeating in my head. “Wait here” “Really Quiet” I trembled, as I had no courage to go outside. Although now I think I felt the way Father did, the sense of unease and angst latched onto me. I stood paralysed by fear, but a burning sense of curiosity made my body shake slightly. A feel of sickness wavered over my b...

At age five, I had already experienced the loss of a parent. My biological father died of lung cancer. At age six, I had already experienced alcoholism, though not personally. My mom was glued to her wine. That was how I found her one day, walking into the house. I had just gotten home from school and she was already drunk off her ass."Mommy? Mommy, I know you miss Daddy... but I miss you..." She was passed out on the flo...

I wish it could be different, I wish there was another way, If only for the sake of your children, I would have liked to stay. I came into your life a few years back, When you were looking for a man, I’ve tried to help anyway I could, But I’ve done all that I can. Your kids took to me from the start, And they always called me ‘Dad.’ You even told me more than once, That I was the best they ever had. But you just used me f...

You were the prettiest face,had the voice of an angel.Your laugh lit up the day, your smile owned my heart.When first I saw you, hypnotized in your grace, lost in your big blue eyes, I knew it would be you.Was it your innocent charm? Dressed for church all fine with a magnolia in your hair, all I could do was stare.Your sweet precious voice that mesmerized the boys, set my heart ablaze, sizzled deep into my soul.Your eyes...

(9/23/14) Born deaf and not a sound to be heard Sign language was her only words Longing to hear any sound at all, even the bouncing of a ball To know what it would be like to hear a robin sing And the sounds of early spring. She learned to read lips and could feel the vibrations of musical sounds. The sensitivity in her fingers had gotten so good That the music she understood. She found that the guitar vibrations she cou...

"Every day is one more inch of a slow blade sinking in. Vision fading, suffocating inside my own skin... And I'm fighting the stranger in my eyes, and I know that only one of us will survive. If I can't save us, I've got to save myself. I can't stay here in this place... I'm slowly freaking out, I'm slowly freaking out and out and out again." - Skylar Grey, Slowly Freaking Out.Eight months after the trials to put Stepmons...

I go to the library to relax To find a book with all the facts Read a short story on the run Grab a joke-book just for fun Visit places I have never been See people with different trends Look up sports, animals and such These and more with only a touch With a library card and a look The world becomes an open book

In the sky with the clouds so bright You may even see them at night When the sun comes up so bright and true Out comes the clouds fluffy and new They play tag and chase as they cross through the sky Like old friends tried and true People come and go into your life Very few stay all the time But just like the clouds A true friends love Will always be enough

Stiles stayed put in the small town he had arrived at a few weeks ago and spent most of his days in his room reviewing his notes and writing in his journal. In case of his demise, natural or otherwise, this journal would be a guide to whomever took his place. He had sent a telegram to his current client and received a request to stay there as the client was en-route to his location. About a week later a private train arri...

I'm that girl the one that's loud only because  I'm afraid of not being heard I'm that girl The one that's always smiling because  If I don't the pain will become unbearable... again I'm that girl the one that tells people they're beautiful because I know how it feels when you don't feel beautiful I'm that girl the one that's afraid people will leave so I push them away because I'd rather not have my heart broken I'm that...

Praying HandsI had a dream with my lord CHRIST He touched my head, not once but twice. I felt my body jump up in bed I saw the nail holes in his hands that bled. I felt the power of his healing hands He showed it to me so I could understand. With faith in our hearts he will heal And his hands you will feel. I awoke that morning with the spirit inside Those praying hands I had to find. I found a figurine of his hands And p...

She is as fine as vintage wine and as sweet as a Georgia peach She was picked at the moment of perfection under the Watchful eye and God's direction. Then she was sent here to earth, given to me by natural birth. He said: this is my gift to you -she will be with you your whole life through She is more precious than diamonds and gold And your love for her will never grow old and will not tarnish or fade For her heart is li...

I close the curtains and put out each lamp,my Sunday morning window's gray with ticking ages,the cool mist of the season nearing.Each cell and promise chilled down to the marrow,turning to ice in me when you only deserved warmth.I can barely endure building it for you,the bonfires telling the truth toevery intricate shadow but my own,the violent flickering like swirling spiritsconstantly joining and letting go.The amber a...
