No More Waiting

A poetic experience of no longer settling.

No More Waiting
The Lyfe Magazine

Another day goes by, with not a text nor call

And I catch myself asking the same question…why do I constantly do this to myself

I always allow you in..into my heart , into my mind, into my being just to be left vulnerable again

The vulnerability that goes unnoticed produces scares that make my heart bleed

But yet I ignore it because the feeling of being with you, is so euphoric

It’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before..well maybe I have but that’s not the point

I notice that this is a cycle... We text, you come over, we enjoy each other and then you leave

And of course I get damaged, because I always tend to wear my heart on my sleeve

Even after the countless number of times that you showed me, that making a commitment was something that I guess I wasn’t worthy of

And now I’m left back at square one

I feel stupid, stupid for letting you achieve something that I’d been fighting against for so long.

I feel naïve. Naïve for actually believing that this could work out for my good, all the while knowing that anything birthed in sin and disobedience leads to death, I guess that’s why my heart no longer beats like it used to. Because every time I allowed you into me, I lost my peace, my joy, my fellowship with God and last but not least my sanity

I feel dumb. With you, I seem to lose my voice to speak the truth and how I really feel in order to make you comfortable in a situation in which comfort shouldn’t be in the first place..it shouldn’t even be in the picture, but let’s face it. Who really thinks when lust...I mean love clouds your vision?

We were doing stuff that we had no business doing in the first place, and for what?

For me to be left broken and scarred, to be tossed to the side like my values, as if I’m worthless because I desired to make you work for my heart , but instead you worked less and I ended up placing my heart into the hands that didn’t earn it..

But regardless of how I feel, I know one thing for sure. I don’t think I can wait for you anymore.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
