A Couple Ways to Revise a Poem

Remember

Remember to live

Remember to laugh

Remember to love

Don’t get caught up with the past

Don’t get caught up with the future

Remember to be happy now

Remember.

Just remember.

Be Right

Don’t expect sadness

Just to get the happiness

Of escaping the dread

Feel the wind on your face

And expect happiness

Just to get the happiness

Of being right

The Poem of the Day

I have gone

I am shifting

I am looking

For a place

Where I can be

Myself

Solchandraja

After heating up her coffee, Jyoti abandoned me with the two guys. Great, just what I need.

Soon I felt an arm around my waist.

"I have to go to work honey..."

I turned around to Onyx. "Okay... I have to go too!"

Onyx gently kissed me on my temple and dissapeared.

"Well bye to you too.." I said.

"Today I have to make a cake for the wedding... Cinnamon..."

After finishing the cake, I went to my HUGE garden at the back of the mansion.

I touched the soft leaves of catnip...

"Grow..." I murmured.

Next thing I know, all the plants in the garden grew.

Earthy came out and licked my hand.

Sorry mistress...Onyx put it in my water...That little slime-bag...

"I love you Earthy!! I hope we find a male kitty for you one day! Have the joy of being loved." I nudged Earthy so she could climb up a cherry-tree.

Males. A whole different species. Nah! I like being alone....Men are awful! They expect us-

"No Earthy! Not the cats! Gosh...I guess you really do know me!"

I AM you! I am your feelings, your looks...Everything! I am of you, I was made from you, for you!!!!!

I smiled then left to go back to my room.


Falling into the big king sized bed, I turn on the stereo and blast music.


I turn on my side and start to fall asleep, the warmth taking me in.


"Rise and shine, Ryan..." I heard a lovely seductive voice.

"Onyx! You scared me!!!!!!! Back from the darkness so easily?"


I felt his arm around me. "I couldn't help it!!"


"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever...I'm just glad your here!"


"I know!"


I turn over and kiss him. Haha! I love the feeling when your kissing someone evil, and you just have longing to join the dark too!


"Ah...That's enough! I like the good to much..." I sigh, wanting more, but not allowed to have it...

Lucky Jyoti, to have fallen for a good guy...But I love Onyx soooo much...


**************************

After a while I decided to go shopping.

I sit down on a bench and act like a snobby, pretty, rich girl.

Ah. Just what I'm here to do. A guy tries to take a kid.

A potted plant beside him grabs on his leg, and pulls him away.

Ha. Idiots.


**********************

Onyx is waiting for me at the mansion.

"Hey!"

He nods.

I pass him by and go to bed, where I find a whole bunch of red tulip petals and a fire in my private hearth burning...I love Onyx...

The Dreaming

Here is the first chapter of The Dreaming
I woke with a start from my dream.
I had already jumped out of bed and had one had on my bow and the other on an arrow in the quiver. I stared at the wall on the west side of my room. My eyes shifted, and I could feel them changing to the black color that occurred only when I saw prophecies. Thats right, I said when I saw prophecies. I, unlike any other, have the uncanny ability to see things. Mostly prophecies. Sometimes I just see random images, though. Anyway, I watched with cautious anticipation, waiting for the blurry blob of nothing to turn into something. I gasped. I knew that it would only take me 3 seconds to have a arrow ready, but that just wasn't enough.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you one thing.

Sometimes my dreams and sights come alive.
