A little discovery

specially written for a scholar journal to suit the level of English beginners (bonjour l’ecole .. p35 )  



Calm she kept in order to stay out of the lights too afraid to risk a heart break , she got away of his path in hope to clear her mind but who was she kidding she couldn't deny such intense feelings she couldn't conceal her need for him how his smell would fill her head with unfamiliar fascinations and how only the thought of him would set her cheeks on fire how she admired his strength and how she anticipated to see him every morning the poor teenager was too attracted to him for her liking that she feared him : he was too dangerous too alluring he was destroying the wall that took too long to build especially to keep away such feelings and she hated it with a burning passion . the young lady knew too well that a broken soul such as hers doesn't deserve nothing from life she was never too religious but after her father's death she completely lost her faith if there was a god he would've saved her felt her pain and helped her through all what happened not too long ago that's why the idea of committing suicide over took her thoughts and that's why she's sat on the wooden bench at the train station trying for once to push away the happy memories hesitant of taking this step or not rubbing her sweaty hands on her dress she scanned her surroundings one last time to catch a hunched tall figure that seemed to stand out of all the crowd his dark framed eyes depicted a misery mixed with exhaustion , something felt off about him and before she had the chance to think farther the figure surprised her by jumping in front of the coming train letting himself collide with it's front. horrified the girl pushed through the screaming crowed till she reached him she took in the sight of his beaten body and the looks on the people  faces as if this moment was her last to then get up arrange her dress and sprint out of the train station that day she sent her crush a message telling him how she felt exactly went to her father's grave for the first time and left him a red rose with a note attached to it " loving or hating life isn't the matter what matters is dealing with it's problems and believing that after a hurricane comes a rainbow"

silklilly speaking : stand up babygirl 1st december diary entry

I am fighting in my own very soft way fighting my demons delicately wrapping the silk of my words around their necks tenderly enough to silence them but not to kill them because honestly my demons are now a part of me the little ghosts have their place carved in the curve of my waist and even though the rivers of tears have dried and turned into deep dry cracks visible scars going all over  me and my possessions i enjoy gardening them watering them with prayers so you can’t see how deep they are under all the soft pink petals unless you dig very deep in my chest then another woman will have to be born and i as you know me i as i know myself will leave for good .... Now the word is getting grayer and i am getting paler softer in a different way pinker lilac between the creases the folds of my body my eyes are getting wider my hair is harder and longer my hair is the rope that keeps me from falling into unknown pits although some of them could be harmless we aren’...

late night awakening: one more time

2/5/2016: it's summer already and the stars I've kissed blindly in the winter cold are coming out of their hiding in tribes I recognized my star from when the earth started feeling a little tender under my feet when the words I've sent her  echoed in my ears when a feeling to just be completely embraced ,enveloped washed all over me i then looked up to meet her gaze and my insides melted i went back to feeling myself as if i was under water all this time holding my breath and suddenly my needy lungs got the air they needed. Some are asking me to visit lands where my hands can cup a tree where all the flowers it knows are those that are in my hands those sprouting from my back and the ones on my head when i'll step foot in it .they are asking me to give it a chance that i don't have in me ,telling me that it's sunny just the way i like it. and i swear I didn't stay in the wind's lands alone for that long ,chose to build and rebuild my home alone after ev...
