Beauty outside the lens

When you want to take a picture of something beautiful in the sky, and sometimes it doesn't come out how you saw it.. well i truly believe that some things has to be seen in person, and you cant capture something so beautiful.. so, when you have the chance.. put the camera down.. and enjoy the magic happenings on earth. :)) 

find love ~ A Poem a Day in May

world we love 

world we hate

we live in a place

of hope and desires

a place of war and disbelieve 

eyes float around don't know what

they're seeing, 

no connection 

no communication 

no true need

but want 

we get 

we waste

what do we keep?

love? 

love disintegrates

as soon as we try to grasp it

 we are looking for love

in the wrong places

mend your heart

you'll know where to find.

Open ~ A Poem a Day in May

closed eyes

closed heart

open your mind

you open your eyes

your heart starts to see

what lies beneath 

of disdain felt

but you see

it is not so 

love is on its way 

to fill 

the empty void 

you feel everyday.

cant hide ~ A Poem a Day in May

Time

time for this

time for that

we give time for time

but when does time give us time?

you keep in stillness hoping for more

but its running out

every day

every hour

every minute

every second

it moves

 we don't

but when you move

you dance with time

you say hello

it says hi

you run 

but

you can't hide

it follows you

it'll find you. 

he's afraid ~ A Poem a Day in May

his face was long with sadness

his eyes were empty as the universe

he'd smile to you 

but all you get is fear

hugs? they're colder than ice cubes in your freezer

you'd get close but he's farther than jupiter

as he spoke his voice was shaken 

it was shakier than the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco

he'd give you love 

but no love for himself

he gives you hugs

hugging a spirit

He's scared to get

close

i'm not. 

your choice. ~ A Poem a Day in May

There's maybe trouble ahead

you have enough 

time to decide

dread or fly

fly

for forever 

be free. 

Darkness ~ A Poem a Day in May

Darkness

darker than closed eye lids

darker than my lost soul

light as my eyes

light as my existence

i have troubles

but i know how to look up

i am far more grander than i think i am 

Sudden ~ A Poem a Day in May

When you least expect it

life hits you in the shins

that hurts!

But its a reality check

we make important decisions in the most painful situations

thats how we grow 

and learn.

Dreams ~ A Poem a Day in May

sometimes fear destroys us,

but dreams,

dreams 

are

stronger

Dreams can take you up to the stars 

or to the arms of love

of the same soul who wanted the same 

What? ~ A Poem a Day in May

                                                                                         oh, a cup of tea will do 

                                                          do what?

                                                                                       why, solve all your problems!

                                                   what problems? 

                                                                                 Oh! honey, you're always in a predicament

                                                                                        here's your tea.

You're my Butterfly.

Look how a Butterfly flies,

   with such delicateness 

That's how fragile your heart is.

if you catch it, it dies.

    i promise, when i catch that Butterfly i will let it go

Why force someone to love you, 

when they don't love you back.

  

You wont be my Prisoner. 

I wont be my own Prisoner.

My Picture.

Sometimes i feel like a picture that does not belong in a art museum. and 

people are looking at me, like, what im going to do next. well, i don't do anything. Because im just a picture on the wall just like the others down the hall. But i'll stay here on the wall till i fall and ultimately break free and soon they will see it was me, nothing more, nothing less just me. 

i Wrote this probably like, i wanna say 5 years ago.. when i was feeling like people wanted you to be perfect when we all know we are not... and to pretend like we we're perfect... no one is perfect. but then again we all have different definitions of perfect. i broke free and decided , i dont wanna be perfect.. i just want to be carol. still struggling because some people don't quite understand the behavior of people when they're being themselves.. so its a learning process on both ends... 

so just try to be you and everything will fall in place!
