Don't Disturb

Don't Read to Deep, I wasn't meant to be a creep...

 

Claws are hung,

The womb is scarce.

Torn apart and left to try,

Please don’t make that mother cry.

Clumps of hair piling up,

Will she ever give it up?

Not a worry or a care,

Yet, I can’t help but stare.

Back she glares,

Evil, dark, grin of death.

Discontent & mumbling breath.

I refrain...only to realize she won’t sustain.

Eyes closed, mouth shut,

She makes her move,

And runs a muck.

The panter is loud, voice so shrill.

I could play the game,

But I would rather enjoy the thrill.

 

 

Fading into the mist, seemingly trying to coexist

Timing is Everything

Fog spreads like wildfire,

Thick, grotesque, swallowing.

It devours the trees.

Blood pumping, toes numb.

The picture is painted,

And the time has come.

 

X masses

Tinsel Shining,
Lights are on,
Heart is content
But fake smiles are on.
Swallow the goods,
Consume the masses.
Capitalist mind, monstrous assets.
Engross yourself, devour the rest.
Whimsical additions…or a facade of finesse?

Day In & Day Out

Golden waves in the sky,
Pink jet trails reflecting off the setting sun.
A lonely girl on the distant cliff,
taking in the beauty, one breathe at a time.
Is life only this beautiful,
Or is it always?

The purple hued waves crash on the golden brown sand.
White wash appearing pink,
Like diluted blood.
Sails in the distance,
Floating towards the sun,
As if the journey has just begun.
An endless horizon to explore,
And curiosity lurking miles away or more.

Blood red sand now,
The suns harsh reflection dimming.
White wash wont wash this blood away.
It will sit here,
Night after night.
Never tire,
Only fade.

The deep blue sets in,
Dark & cold.
White wash fades to a purple wave.
Time for this blood to fade away.
Only a line left in the sky,
Shining bright amongst the dark night.

The late blanket falls,
The line covered,
The sand & waves seemingly calm.
Normal.

The girl is gone.
I can only assume the night blanket fell on her too.
I'd rather believe the sails in the horizon took her under their wing,
And she followed suit.
Fleeing into the sunset,
Or so it seems.
Vast thought & feelings
They won't ever fade,
but the sun will always set another day.

Dark Water

Dark and dreary,

their eyes spoke clearly.

He gazed off into the dark night,

she sat, wondering,

letting the waves crash at her feet.

The sand was cold,

the water sent a chill up her spine.

She thought to herself,

I cant wait til he's mine.

He hugged her,

kissed her forehead,

an squeezed her tight.

He looked in her eyes,

as though he heard her thoughts all night.

 

In the Sewer

Have you ever been in a sewer, looking up in the dark, trying to find a way out?

What are you looking for, the light at the end of the tunnel? The up side of things? 

Are we trying to rise above? Find a way to higher ground?  Maybe we just strive for something better, the possibility of a greater being, a brighter environment…then we look around and realize we are not the only ones.  They are all around us, surrounding every turn, all looking for the same thing, seeking the same light, the same height. 

So where is the lid?  Is there a hole?  Can you see a light – how are we seeing at all? 

We chase the idea.  It surrounds us, fulfills our fantasies, expands our dreams, but its still dark…. still no visible light to guide the way.  Only the belief, the idea of it being out there… somewhere…wandering…bright. Beautiful.

We toy with making our own light…maybe we can make a spark, a shed of light, a glow..maybe it doesn’t have to be from above. 

It can be from our level, realistic, attainable, standard.

We wonder who found the light? Who has lifted the ceiling. 

We wonder what its like – how bright is it?

We open our eyes & see a flame, a fragment of light, the spark that started it all, the glow behind the idea…the light that leads our minds, and the door that keeps it in.

Ahoy, Its a Boy!

AHOY, IT'S A BOY!

"Sushi & Sake tonight?" I said, Diana looked out the passenger car window and replied slowly, "Well. I actually can't have either of those things for awhile"  I looked at her in confusion, then with big smirk, it was as if the light bulb lit up, I'm sure it was reflecting through my eyes. "ARE YOU PREGNANT?!", I yelped.  Tears welt up in her eyes as I stopped at the next red light shocked, surprised, and so happy that my beautiful long time friend was starting a family of her own.

We opted for Lazy Dog Café for dinner, and then it came up "Will you help with the baby shower?", I'm sure my face turned pink with excitement, "Can I PLEASE?!"

I've always loved parties, all aspects really.  The planning, the details, the celebration, the food, the booze, and more importantly being in an environment celebrating with family, friends, and good people....that's what a party's all about right? Well actually its mainly about the booze, but the other things are good additions I suppose.

When she found out she was having a boy, the ideas swirled.  Pinterest also become a very prevalent thing in both of our lives.  Pinterest = Crack   Anyone who says otherwise has yet to experience the endless ideas and creativity that Pinterest provides...no matter what you're into, there's a board and pins galore.  (If you haven't experienced it yet, do yourself a favor, feed the addiction, you're welcome & in advance, I'm sorry, www.Pinterest.com)
We finally decided upon a theme: PIRATE
Not only do I have an entire room in my house dedicated to Pirate décor, but I have always been fascinated with pirate history, culture, and of course, loot.  I hit the ground running.

Last year, I had looked into Event Planning school.  The funding wasn't available for me at the time, but I kept learning different ways I could by trolling the internet, using professional event planners websites and guides to gain any knowledge I could.  I was hungry for it. I became a weird soiree sponge.  Luckily for her I had saved much of this information, including spreadsheets with guest list templates, budget guidelines, and more.  My momentary obsession was being put to good use. 

Let the planning begin...........

After 'Pinning' our lives away for a week or two, we met up to have lunch and lay out the final decisions.  I'll let the pictures below show you what we decided on. Etsy/Shopping links are included where possible so we can give credit where credit is due.

Dessert & Candy Bar Table

Main Dessert & Candy Bar Table.  Candy bar on the left.  Glass jars with Whoppers (Cannon Balls), Blue Hershey Kisses with the little tags that say 'Its a boy', Silver Hershey kisses, and Licorice (Rope!).  Clear Cellophane bags and small plastic scoops for guests to use.

Black Table Cloth, draped with fishnet (cheap, easy and can be used for SO many things!)
Both Chocolate & Plastic coins spread out on all the tables, much better (and cleaner) than confetti!   Plus the chocolate coins are edible...just be sure your guests don't try to bite into a plastic coin. Or at least invite those with slightly more common sense, they'll probably bring a better gift anyway.
Ikea lanterns with battery operated tea lights (candles are better but also burn faster and give off smoke.  You will be relighting all night, and no one wants smoke flavored cupcakes.  Battery operated is a good alternative)   Mimosa Punch...I'll get to that wonderfulness shortly.

Cupcakes: Plain & Simple, Vanilla or Chocolate with red buttercream frosting (so it doesn't have to be refrigerated) We ordered our own little black pirate skull flags to top them.  Lots of party websites sell similar.  We used www.Shindigz.com
Customized Baby Photo and name announcement.

Black Silhouette Pirate Ship Centerpieces ordered from 'Cutting Paper' Etsy shop.  Check out her goodies here http://www.etsy.com/shop/cutnpaper?ref=pr_shop_more
It was really windy on the day of the shower so the ships were taped to cardboard panels which were then covered in tissue paper.  The net was actually draped over the ship to help them stay up in the wind, and turned out looking like we planned it that way...
