His Diamond in the rough
Oh my I just missed the train and he’s not going to be happy, I thought to myself at the same time a smile escaped my lips because I know I’m loved. A raindrop splattered across my face and interrupted my thoughts as I realized in my hurry I forgot to grab my Leopard print umbrella as I ran out the door.
Nevertheless that night was going to be a good night.
I ran on to the opposite platform and got on the train and closed my eyes.
I arrived at the Russian Tea room and was equally impress with the ambiance and the cosy intimate vibe it exuded.
“Hi beautiful”he said as he rose up planting a kiss on my lips “don’t you smell divine” he exclaimed…”you don’t look so bad yourself” I retorted. All the while my mind was thinking that some good dark chocolate would be a well deserving desert after dinner.
We talked for awhile about life,us and about breaking the wonderful news to both of our families.
You see a year ago we had tied the knot at a secluded destination and decided to do a small renewal in front of a selective few. We had met each other 10 yrs before we started dating and after reconnecting 10yrs later, the timing was right and on a whim we got married.
This man I’m fortunate to have in my life simply adores me. I never really knew my heart had space again to accommodate another person on such a level. Dinner ended and as we walked out the front door of the restaurant he blurted out I loved you from day one and I knew then one day I’ll get that opportunity. This man makes me happy. A grateful heart is always rewarded and in that moment I realized how blessed I was to have found the piece that completes me.

The Valley
I knew all to well the putrid scent of death
The death of broken dreams and diminishing hopes
I know the pangs of hunger,of an empty stomach and the hunger to see my life align as I envisioned it to always be.
I know the pounding of a relentless headache of stress dragging me to the edge of depression
I had no strength then and have very little now
I live in the valley most days and labor to pull myself from it’s grasp
Most days I feel like I’ve failed and someone comes along and puts a temporary smile on my face
I know that they will eventually leave…for they always do
I know what it is to toil all night and come home empty handed.
Most times I sing…”they think I sing because I’m happy”
I draw on a melody because even I know if I stop I shall surely die.
This puzzle of my life is missing so many valuable pieces
I’ve given them away to undeserving souls who like vultures stood by waiting…WAITING and WANTING!!!
I rather stay in the Valley a familiar place to me
At least I know now what I hadn’t then; that nothing good lives in the darkness.
