Missing Piece
I think maybe
I’m a jigsaw puzzle
With a missing piece…
I think maybe
I left it with you
Or, maybe you stole it…
I think maybe
I’ll never find another
That will fit, that’s why…
I don’t try.

I was nominated for the “three quotes in three days challenge” by Patience over at Love Letters to a Ghost, which is a huge honor, since I am amazed by her work! Go check her stuff out, you won’t be disappointed. 🙂
Peace, Please…
Show me your thoughts,
The words that hide
In the silence behind
Those fortress eyes…
If you let them drift,
I will, too…
Anything to have that
Peace with you.

-This is the fifth, and final day in the “Five Photos, Five Stories” challenge. It’s been fun. 🙂
Gold Flame
Beauty of Summer
Mother Nature herself sighs-
Sunsets in gold flame.

-Day four of the “Five Photos, Five Stories” challenge.
This is my “Gold Flame” honeysuckle. 🙂
Sweet Honey
The day always seems longer
When I am thinking of you,
The passion and hunger
Keep bleeding through
No matter what I do…
I need some release,
A way to be free,
To enjoy something for me…
I need something sweet
To melt in this heat…
Mmmm-
How about some raw honey
In a cup of green tea?
Would you like to
Enjoy it with me?

-Day three of the “Five Photos, Five Stories” challenge.
Blushing Rose
Do you see me,
Blushing for only you…
Trying so hard,
I know you notice.
I want you to know me,
To stop and smell me…
Breathe me in.
I know I have thorns,
But I am conscious of them.
Pay me some attention,
I promise I’ll try
Not to dig in
Too hard,
If I leave marks,
Please consider
Them souvenirs…
~Antanya
-Day two of the “Five Photos, Five Stories” challenge.
The “Weed”
You don’t want me to grow here?
Fuck off. I do what I want.
I don’t need to please you.
My vulnerability is beautiful-
In a world like concrete,
Bright violet against the grey.
You act like you want me to leave,
But, you always smile when I stay-
I wonder if it could be any other way…

Lisa from Underground Energy has nominated me to participate in the Five Photos, Five Stories Challenge: “Post a photo each day for five consecutive days and attach a story to the photo. It can be fiction or non-fiction, a poem or a short paragraph and each day nominate another blogger for the challenge”.
I’m not going to nominate only 5 people, instead, I offer all of my readers an invitation to this challenge. I have a lot of fun with these challenges, they are a great way to expand your thinking and write in a different direction. 🙂
Love in Ten Lines (Challenge)
Insane, or in Love?

Passionate Love reaching out,

To Love you absolutely…
Eternally acquainted with Love.
