Sacred Heart

Sacred heart,

Lips so tender and mild,

Captivating your attention,

Adrenalizing life,

Of an emotionless vessel,

Silently withering away.


 

You try to look away,

You try to ignore him,

You try to forget his presence,

But his golden eyes,

Set your heart on fire.


 

You try to endure the feelings,

To hinder your desire,

But as he nonchalantly walks by,

You begin to sizzle and shine.


 

The sultry aspiration,

Is so enticing,

You look away,

Unable to speak,

Trying to keep your desire furtive,

While continuing to passionately await his love,

Leisurely in seclusion and bewilderment.

God’s Creations

Bird's eye view,

Of all creations and wonders,

The glorious oceans,

The sweet scent,

Of the lovely flowers,

The miraculous changes,

The world goes through.


 

The seasons,

The weather,

And the people,

The changes,

The beauty inspires,

New life and love,

A love so wonderful and true,

With such deep emotion,

That you know,

It could only have come from,

Our father God above,

God is Love.

Saviour!

Being caught up in a world,

A world filled with madness and mayhem,

Seeking friendship from the kindest stranger,

And loyalty from a family member.


 

You search everywhere,

For peace and tranquility,

You find comfort in guilty pleasures,

And sinful deeds.


 

Being corrupted,

By what you seek,

And what you get in return.


 

Far from redemption,

Searching for some answers,

Hoping to be saved,

From your past.


 

Past troubles and fears,

Cloud your thoughts,

But life is full of surprises,

You finally find someone,

Someone who helps you escape,

Escape the madness,

Escape the danger,

Escape the excitement.


 

You finally find someone,

To trust,

To believe in,

To have faith in,

To return your feelings,

Dare I say,

I believe,

You finally found,

Love!

Awry

Held in captivity,

Imprisoned for a treacherous deed,

Banished from a life,

A life you once lived.


 

Separated from true love,

Denied redemption,

Cast away on the aisle of doubt,

Placed in fortitude,

Locked in solitude,

Hoping for a chance,

A chance to change the future,

Fix the past.


 

Wishing for a reunion,

With a lost love,

Your desires escalate into a plan,

A plan for freedom,

A plan to escape these evils,

To return to your life,

A plan formulated by pure anger and hatred,

Of being brutally tortured by the enemy,

A plan formulated by yearning and desire,

To return to the love you once knew.


 

You begin to execute your plan,

Leading out this lie,

Traveling the long distance,

Until you finally arrive,

But when you do,

The place you once loved is destroyed,

And the people you loved gone,

Leaving you,

With only a memory.

No! No!

Never had I known true pain,

Until I heard the words,

Come out of your mouth,

The words full of nastiness,

The scorpion sting,

That had killed me,

Out of resistance.


 

They say forgive,

He said sorry,

But I say no,

Let him pay,

And so I torture you,

Avoid you,

Never accepted your pleas,

Your pleas for forgiveness,

Or your words of apology.

What I Want?

Can I?

Will I?

Why can't I?

Why won't I?

Let you go?


 

Could I?

Should I?

Have I?

When will I?

Set you free?


 

Do I?

Why should I?

How can I?

When do you?

Think you will return?


 

Questions,

Questions,

Questions,

All I have is questions,

Only unanswered questions.


 

Answers,

Answers,

Answers,

What I want are answers,

Answers to these questions.


 

I want answers to my mind,

Answers to my heart,

Answers to my desires,

Answers to my quest,

Answers to my passion,

I want answers,

Can anyone provide these answers to me?

CHAPTER 4

Sitting under the old cassia tree, she brewed and boiled with the disgusting image still fore in her mind. She had to do something. She couldn't lose Andrew now, after all she has done. No, she couldn't! But what could she do? Then the arrow struck her, she could get Nareka to do another job! After all she hadn't yet removed the chip, so… why not? It was the perfect plan! Kill two birds with one stone. It would hurt a lot to see the demise of her two best friends, but a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do and this is what she had to do to get what she wants. And besides, they didn't care about her feelings for doing that, so they brought it on themselves. If she had to wipe world clean of people to get Andrew, she would.


 

She miserably scraped through the rest of the day, praying, begging for the final bell to ring so she could finally go home to salvation from this wretched place. To the place where this horrid sight would not pierce her eyes and ceases to haunt her soul.


 

At last the final bell rang and she was freed. Her entire day was focused on watching in dreadful despair as Andrew carried on with Jessica and Emily, flirting with them across the room, but this time there was another with them Joann enjoying the love her dream was giving, (I guess I will have to fix her too) she thought to herself. But alas bell had rung and she could finally leave to her salvation.


 

As she sat there waiting for her father to arrive, the dreadful image replayed in her mind and the sounds of their kisses ricocheting. Finally he had arrived just as she was on the brink of tears, and she could leave this hell called school.


 

The entire drive home had been lost to her in her dreadful state. When she arrived home, she mournfully climbed the stairs to her room and then fell lifelessly unto her bed. Her life mocked her miserably, she would have to hurt her best friends and Joann for a guy who did not know she existed more than he knew the wall paper in the bathroom did! The plan to get him hurt her heart, because of the pain it would cause her friends; but, he was sweet, kind, sexy and smart! He was the perfect guy. She'll have to hurt them like they had hurt her. She rolled off her bed, walked over to the phone and called Anna, told a spectacular lie (something about Nareka and a candy pill), then programmed Nareka to strike them at noon, the next day.

    

The morning came quickly, with the confusion of lack of sleep and breakfast, she dragged herself through the morning, the way Nana did after Grandpa Lue died. Then the time came, the man she loved and her friends were under the ackee tree, twittering and flittering in a love-sick obsession with the assassin three feet away and quickly approaching.

As she walked closer towards them, Shana-ray became fearful for her friends. The sound of Nareka's footsteps brought anguish to her, as the mind-numbing effect waved over her. The closer Nareka got the more confused she became (should she stop her or should she let this go on?)…….

She had finally just made the decision to save them but it was too late, Nareka had already struck.


 

"NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" she cried as she watched the demise of her friends. "Stop! Look out!" she cried.


 

Standing a couple yards away was Orchid Greaves. Orchid had been watching the entire dreadful scene. She watched in awe as Nareka struck the girls and she watched the horror and shock as Shana-ray looked on.


 

Shana-ray could not help but to plaster a smirk on her face. She was sad her friends got hurt and had resolved to save them but still………She could not help herself at all. Her plan had been successful and she was one step closer to her dream guy.


 

Orchid felt a slit of pain as she saw the expression on Shana-ray's face. A feeling of sadness and pity came over her for the girls and their distraught friends. Orchid continued to watch the frightful scene and feeling emotional about it all that she almost fell for this dramatic ploy by Shana-ray; that was until…… she saw the shrewish smirk on her face and realized this was just an act. Suspicion flowed through Orchid's veins like blood. Something was not right here and she was determined to find out what it was.

Fun places to go on a budget

    As teenagers we tend to get bored very easily and we are always be looking for something new and fun to do. However, the methods of entertainment always seem to be limited, especially in times of financial hardship. Adults continuously say that we are growing up too quickly. But the fact of the matter is that there is not much that TEENs can do in Jamaica, especially on a fixed budget.


 

Are you tired of going to dinner or the movies? Looking for something fun to do but not sure what? Well never fear TEENage is here. TEENage has come up with a list of some great ideas for dates, hanging out with friends or just enjoying yourself with your family, that are pretty reasonable and inexpensive.


 

  1. Take a trip to the beach


 

Grab a few friends and take a trip to one of God's many gifts to man, THE BEACH. Jamaica is known to have some of the best beaches in the world- Hellshire, Dunn's River Falls and Fort Clarence, just to name a few. On average, the cost of going to the beach in Jamaica about J$100-J$200 per person, so taking a trip to a beach is a definite can do. Bring your towels and swim suits, pack your lunches, bring some music and have some fun playing games, chilling and swimming.


 

Note: Please be cautious when venturing to the beach. If you know you cannot swim and even if you can, do not venture off into the sea by yourself (or in groups). Be safe and healthy to and from the beach.


 

  1. Go on a picnic


 

The beach, park, your backyard, your front yard, and even at your school. There are so many places to have a picnic. The basic ingredients are good company, everyone contributing something (food, music, etc.), and crazy vibez. If you want a more romantic mode, an intimate, quiet setting may prove most effective with that special someone. The best thing about this is that it is not only fun, but basically free!!! Remember no romanticizing or causing a disturbance at school.


 

  1. Go on a nature walk or hike


 

Almost everyone in Jamaica has heard about Blue Mountains, John Crow Mountains, Cockpit Country and other areas of natural beauty in Jamaica. But how many of us have actually taken the time to visit any of these places. Gather a group of friends, family and so on, and make a hike up one of the Blue Mountain trails. Not up to it, head to one of our parks near you, such as Castleton Gardens, Hope Gardens or Devon House. The scenery, the fresh air, the exercise, these are all apart of the recipe for a great bonding experience.


 

4) Visit a cultural or historical site


 

We have a very rich heritage and cultural background, here in Jamaica. However, in recent times we have seen that more of it is being forgotten or ignored, especially by the younger generations such as ourselves. Embrace our culture beyond Emancipation Day, Independence Day or Heritage Day and take a trip to one of Jamaica's wonderful historical sites. Places include Port Royal, Columbus Park in Discovery Bay, Rose Hall Great House in Montego Bay, The Bob Marley Museum in Kingston, and so many other great sites.


 

  1. Hang out at a friend/ family member's house


 

This is probably the best idea yet. Here you have the freedom to do anything and just about everything and even multiple things all at once. You can watch a movie, eat lots of food, do some stargazing, host a bonfire, have a game night/ competition (board games, card games and physical games like football), and so much more. You could even turn it into a little dinner party or another themed party. The possibilities are endless with this tactic. To release the strain of the person whose house the get together will be at everyone can do their part by contributing something to the event.


 

  1. Go window shopping


 

Almost everywhere in Jamaica there is that one special place where your favourite stores are within walking distance of each other. In Kingston, one of those places just happens to be Half-Way-Tree. Walking by and checking out stores and their stocks can prove more fruitful or fun than you might think. Gather some good friends and have some fun together looking at the stores, maybe even trying on some items. This activity is not only fun, but also a great way to get exercise without even noticing it.


 

  1. Take a day trip


 

How often do we really get away from our everyday lives? So we are definitely not going to skip school for the day or week (because we love to learn!!!), however, what we can do is to go on a day trip one of the weekends and try to experience a bit of a holiday (even if it is for only one day) and nature's gift to man. You can go to the country, go river rafting, take a ride across Black River Safari, go on a boat ride, do some fishing, do a little bird watching, even go to an adventure park if it is within your budget. You can do just about anything your hearts' desire. The whole point of the day is an absolutely stress free day full of merriment and joy.


 


 

Unusual date ideas:


 

The above mentioned can all be ideas for a date, whether individual or group date. Other ideas include:


 

  1. Exercise together


 

If you are both very athletic people or if you are just looking for a way to spend some time together, while improving your health, then this is definitely a must do on your list. And this might prove as a motivating factor to get you both in shape.


 

  1. Go salsa dancing together


 

Now you may be wondering, where in heaven's name am I going to do that? Well as it so happens there are classes held every Thursday at the Hilton Hotel. The cost is only J$500 per person per class. This is not only a fun, heart-pumping activity, but a romantic one as well, that you can learn and share with each other.


 

  1. Watch a play


 

Our Jamaican plays are well-known for their comedic twist on serious issues or events that have occurred in our country. The laughter, the jokes and the fun is an excellent memory to have and an amazing experience to share with your significant other.


 

4) Take a walk in a park


 

A simple stroll through Devon's House, Hope Botanical Gardens, Castleton Gardens or Emancipation Park, holding hands, exchanging glances, engaging in conversation and thunderous outbursts of laughter are basically all one needs to have a romantic date with that special someone. You can even stop and get some ice cream while sharing each others great company.


 

Just remember that in all you do be safe and walk with God.

Chapter 3

Here is another installment of the ongoing story-If Only You Knew


 

On the ride home she smiled to herself over the event that was soon to occur. She arrived home at 6:00p.m and hurriedly entered her home to sit by the phone and waited until one of her friends called and told her the 'frightful' tale (Ha ha ha ha ha!) about the slashing. It was perfect! But…. After a few hours she began to get worried because no one had called. Then, while losing all hope of her success, the telephone rang (Bring! Bring! Bring!).

Waves of anticipation took her over. She took a deep breath and made several tiny steps toward the phone, pacing herself incase she was again to be disappointed with the beginning of another pointless conversation; but this time she was lucky. Yolanda, her primary gossip source, had been the one to call and told her the story about the slashing of Tara. As Shana-ray listened to the 'dreadful' tale, she smiled to herself in triumph. She had won! Yes!

After she had finishing speaking to Yolanda and giving Yolanda her 'views' on the situation in their two hour conversation, she joyously fell into her bed. At least now she could sleep well tonight, or at least so she thought. All through the night she tossed and turned, as repercussions of how she thought the incident had gone, playing in her head. The next morning she woke up feeling weary from last night's horrid sleep. But, unable to realize that the reason she had the nightmares was guilt, she blamed it on eating too late in the night.

The morning was bright when she arrived at school in her glorious tune. An unusual smirk had come across your face and that caused everyone to be baffled by her merry tone, but they had all concluded that maybe she had not heard the news of the fright and so they told her the story, but still she smiled. Realizing people were looking at her weirdly and might soon begin to get suspicious, she played dumb and pretended she had not heard what they had said.

 
 

"What? What were you saying?" she asked in a bewildered tone.

 
 

They repeated the story of the slashing to her and this time she acted shocked and dismayed, as a ploy to fool the crowd. The more the conversations grew and the news spread like wildfire, the better her acting skills had become. Even though she was pleased at the assault, she continued to pretend to be distraught by Nareka's actions.

 
 

(A job well done!) She thought to herself, (Very well done).

 
 

The plan had worked perfectly; Tara was finally out of the way and as for Nareka, who cares, after all Shana-ray had not done anything, so there was no guilt on her head. And at last she could deliver the love letter; after all there was nothing to stop her, no one standing in her way. She made a sauntering strut towards her classroom to get the precious love letter so she could deliver it to Andrew. She was shocked to find Andrew had already moved on. The dark sight possessed her mind; there was no time to think, so she watched the demise of her love life. Frozen in the doorway, she watched Andrew as he stood in an intense lovelock, with not one but two female companions. As she watched the light fell on the faces of the females. She was burnt to know that the females were her best friends Jessica and Emily, making a fetish love sandwich with the man of her dreams. Her world splintered into a million pieces as her tears welled and swelled.

 
 

No!!!!!!!!!!!! How could they? They are supposed to be her best friends; or are they? Are they her friends at all? How long had they planned this…… this monstrosity? How long????!!!!!!!! She was so crushed. She swung around and ran away, sobbing bitterly as she ran. How she loathed them right now. Didn't they know they were destroying her life? No! Of course they knew, she spoke about him constantly, but they just didn't care. As she sobbed bitterly, she was again overtaken by the green monster of jealousy and hatred. She solemnly vowed they would pay for this.

Kuddos for optimism but…………..

Why New Year's Resolutions Never Work!!!!


 

    Every year as it gets closer to the start of the New Year, it is a popular tradition to write down a list of New Year's Resolutions. We write things we want to change about ourselves and all these big changes we are going to make in the New Year. But couple weeks later, we are back to the same old habits we had in the previous year. So let's face it New Year's Resolutions do not work. Now let's get to the root of the problem and figure out why they do not work.


 

    Now the first reasons that resolutions do not work is we try too hard to make it coincide with a calendar. Why must we start our desired change on January 1st every year? There is nothing magical about that day that makes it different that the rest. Yes the idea of a fresh start is appeal, but it makes no sense you say I will change my bad habit on January 1st and even on December 31st you are still doing the wrong. Bad habits are very hard to break. And it takes a lot of effort, will power and focus to actually break these habits and maintain the change achieved.


 

    The second reason why resolutions do not work is because they are very unrealistic. It is very easy to say I want to lose 25 pounds by February 2010 and put that as a resolution, but in actuality this is not an easy feat to accomplish. Too often we make resolutions that lack a plan, are not specific enough and overall that are just very unrealistic to be achieved. Now I am not saying that you cannot accomplish your resolution, nor am I saying that there has never been a person that has accomplished his/her resolution; however what I am saying is that you need to change your tactic towards achieving your resolution to a more effective one.


 

    So that said, how do I accomplish my resolution? The first thing is to change your resolution goals. Instead of saying 'I want to lose weight' say 'I want to be healthy and make healthier choices' for the New Year. This change of statement may seem a bit simple but it will help to make the transition a bit easier.


 

The next step is to be specific. Set out clear and achievable goals on paper and supplement this with a plan. For example, if you say you want to save more money in 2010, make a clear plan, which may be saying that no matter what I will put at least $ 500-$1000 of savings in the bank each month. If you do not have a bank account, I think it would be a good idea if you open one. The most important aspect of this step is to plan. The plan gives a step by step description of how you believe you can achieve your goal and gives an idea of how much you will have to do.


 

    The last recommendation to accomplishing your New Year's Resolution is to start as early as possible. Do not decide to start on New Year's Day. Why not start December 3rd or August 1st or any other day? Do not let the calendar decide the day for you. Start your change as soon as possible. Just remember, 'Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.'

Mayhem

Lost in translation,

In a life undefined.

Unexplained feelings arise,

Out of young friendship.


 

I yearn for something more,

Yet I cannot go on any further,

I have another,

I belong to another,

One who has captured my heart.


 

Confusion has led me,

Unto a path untraveled,

Steps imprinted on my heart,

The further I go.


 

Mind worlds apart,

A conscience stained by guilt,

Where madness,

And mayhem,

Roam free.


 

Following my heart,

Letting it be my guide,

To a place of sanctity,

To my Utopia,

Where I can be at peace,

An all is right with the world.

The Heart’s Design

A young girl trapped in her own heart,

Sealed in the titanium room of fear,

Barricaded beyond the wall of protection,

Shielding herself from love.


 

Growing up she yearned for it,

A feeling so strong,

That nothing can steal it away.


 

The dream of finding that perfect match,

The other half who completes her,

Lingers in her mind,

Her very soul cries for it.


 

A few wrong turns were made,

Before finding the right path.

Love in the gentle voice of a stranger,

The soft lips of a companion,

Steps imprinted on her heart,

Lust embedded in her mind,

Brought on from the touch of a lover.


 

Bliss and happiness far from reason,

Arose out of friendship,

A completed circle of love,

Brought into her life.


 

The only thing she wants and asks for,

Is to let the love never fade nor die,

But last an eternity and beyond.


 

She screams to the heavens,

Thank you for the precious gift,

A love never lost but found,

For he will forever be mine,

And we shall love each other,

Until the end of time.

The Heart Apart

A million miles away,

Yet the mind cannot bear to let you go,

Hearts entwined,

As spirits are fulfilled.


 

A thousand miles away,

A thirst,

A desire,

A yearn for you,

Grows stronger.


 

A hundred miles away,

The mind searches for your face,

A slight remembrance,

Of your features,

The strong contours of your face,

Powerful mouth,

And determined lips.


 

Ten miles away,

We grow further apart,

Bodies divided by an ocean,

Mind divided by guilt,

Hearts separated by lust.


 

Five miles away,

A spiritual divide,

An earthly separation,

A physical disintegration,

An emotional explosion,

Bursts into the flames of life,

The scent grows weary,

The image removed.


 

No longer miles apart,

The ocean melts away,

The time has come,

To end this torture,

We've finally reach the end of the path,

That once brought us together,

We must go our separate ways,

Discover ourselves,

And live our lives to the fullest of our happiness and joy.

Chapter 2

Hey Guys! Here is another installment of 'If Only You Knew'. This time I bring to you Chapter 2 of the story. Check it out and tell me if you like it. Leave a comment!


 

A few days following the assault her mind began to wonder about the incident. What really happened? Why would someone do that? After moments of consideration Orchid decided to investigate and find out the answers to her resounding questions. She searched and roamed. She wandered through the valleys and the tides in an attempt to find out the true story of "The T-square Massacre". She had been investigating the attack for weeks before she unraveled the greatest part of the mystery ever. What she uncovered no one would have expected. The story within the epidemic was unbelievable.


 

The innocent-looking child by the name of Shana-ray Welden was the real reason that Tara was assaulted. To truly understand the plot we need to go a few months back. Back to the day she first saw him; the day she saw the guy of her very existence. The only one she ever truly wanted. The boy, by the name of Andrew Meno. As she gazed at him lustily, she could not help but to wonder what it would be like to hold him tightly in her arms, to kiss him tenderly on the lips and to have him permanently attached to her arm as she walked through life.


 

One day she finally decided to try and fulfill her most sacred dream and to try and win over Andrew. So that evening as she got home from school she began to write the letter that would change her life forever. The next day as she stepped out of the car a broad smile came upon her face for she knew she would be loved today, or at least she hoped. Walking to class, with the letter in her hand, she hummed a gay tune. That was until…… she saw it…….. the one thing she had feared the most…….. She saw him out with Tara, hugging and holding hands. He was whispering in her ear and she was giggling uncontrollably, while playing in his dark brown hair. But the last straw came at the end when she saw him lean in and kiss her. Shana-ray was infuriated by the sight. Her heart had been shattered into a million pieces. (How could he do this to her?! How could he do this to them and ruin their promising future so. Wait …….. No! It was not his fault; it's the fault of that seductive bitch Tara Tomlinson. Oh how she hated her right now). The more Shana-ray was consumed by her thoughts, the more her temper boiled. Devious plans of action and destruction were being formulated in her mind. (But what? What could be so hurtful yet stylish executed that no one would suspect her of the crime? She needed a plan now!) Caught up in her thoughts Shana-ray had not noticed they had left. Then lightning struck her. The perfect scheme had entered her mind. But first she needed to call an old friend.


 

As the days went by she anticipated the moment when her plan would be executed. The day when Andrew would finally be hers, forever!!!!


 

The next day was a Saturday and thus began the first day of her devious plot. She had arrived at Chase's Electronics Galore. She had entered the store in deep thought, thinking over her appearance in a moment of self-doubt. But she quickly recovered as she spotted her target, Chase Eineffronstein, the store's electronic wiz. She strutted towards him slowly, trying as hard as she could to appear cool, calm, collected and too hot to be interested in anyone but herself. When she arrived at the front desk, she brushed one hand through her hair in a flipping motion, did a sexy blink and gave him a broad smile.


 

"Well hello there handsome" she said in a seductive voice with a smile.


 

"What can I do for you?" he replied.


 

"Well …….." she said as she began her flirting motion, touching his arm and batting her eyelashes.


 

But seeing how uninterested in her he was, she decided to try another route. And so she quickly wrapped up the conversation and left the store.

    

A few days later she had managed to arrange for an extra sexy girl to make an appearance at Chase's Electronics Galore and get her deeds done for a manageable and affordable fee. And now the plan was back in motion. The woman she hired had gotten Chase to produce a mind control chip he had developed a couple years aback, but now the main question is how and who was she going to insert the mind control chip and into. After a moment of much thought the light bulb popped on in her head and an idea of the perfect person had come to mind ….. Nareka Brady. Everyone knew Nareka was in love with Andrew so why not use her? It was the perfect person. But how could she implant the chip without Nareka knowing. Then it came to her; she did not have to implant the chip herself. She could have he chip implanted in a smart, untraceable way; involving the manipulation of Nareka's sister, her friend Anna Brady. She formulated a plan to get Anna to unknowingly implant the chip without her being a little suspicious or suspicious at all. And the golden opportunity just fell in her lap and the chip was implanted. Now that all the steps were taken and the bases were covered, all she had to do was to wait and watch her plan in motion. And as the days grew closer, the more the anticipation and anxiety built up.


 

Alas the day had arrived. She had programmed the chip, now all she needed to do was to initiate the spark that will ignite the flame and the explosion was waiting to happen. All throughout the day she had eagerly awaited the time; the hour when she could finally watch the destruction and demise of Tara Tomlinson. In order to cut all ties to her, she told her parents to pick her and her brother up early.

10 Reasons why I'm hot stuff!!!!

So I was checking out another blog the other day. I really like it and on the blog the writer decided to write a list of why guys should dater and I thought I should follow suit and tweak it a little. This list isn't focused on dating or relationships or why guys should want to date me but it just a list of reasons why I totally rock.

1) I am totally CUTE and BEA-UTIFUL. I am a very short, very adorable and very beautiful girl and I am sure most people would totally agree that I am really cute!

2) I am FUNNY. Did I ever tell you that I was a superhero? Well I am. And besides having dazzling good looks of a superhero, I have this amazing power to make people laugh. A few moments with me and you will be cracking up. Tee hee hee!

3) I am SMART. So I may not be genius or child prodigy smart but I am pretty smart myself. I do pretty well in school and I'm pretty aware of what's going on in the world around me so I make a great conversationalist.

4) I like SPORTS. This should totally be a turn on for guys who love sports. Not only do I like to watch sports but I'm not afraid to get down and dirty with the boys (even when I totally suck at the sport, it just makes me even cuter and even more attractive. I may not be the best athlete nor the fittest girl on the lot but it's pretty fun to play.

5) I am totally DOWN TO EARTH. I am not one of those girls with my head in the clouds or who is stuck or snobby. I am a pretty cool chica and I pretty much am a great person to be around. I'm not saying that I don't have my ditzy moments but those just add to my charm and make me rock even more. Plus I am not afraid to laugh at myself, which definitely add to my awesome appeal.

6) I love to HAVE FUN. I love to go out, hang with friends, go to parties, dance, go to the movies, I am pretty game for having fun. So let's get on the fun-mobile and let the merriment begin.

7) I'm SHORT. Now what significance does being short have? A whole lot believe. I think people, especially guys are pretty attracted to the fact that I'm short. You know boys have that want-to-be your protector instinct that just draws them to me and overall people just enjoy my shortness. Sometimes I think they enjoy it a bit too much!

8) I am FUN TO BE AROUND. Are you having a bad day? Do you feel like no one in the world cares about you? Well you are wrong. With me around I will always be there to cheer you up and make you feel good. I'm totally fun to be around, you will be so drunk on merriment you won't know how you survived without me! :-) Being around me is guaranteed to be one big old bag of fun!

9) I am a GREAT FRIEND. I am definitely a great friend. Just ask any of my friends. I'm honest, trustworthy, there for you in your darkest hours, will listen to your problems and give muy excellente advice. With a friend like me you know that you will always have someone who is there for you and cares for you. Trust me guaranteed short girl seal of approval.

10) I know HOW TO TREAT 'EM. I have respect for everyone, no matter the differences between us and as a result I treat people with the respect and dignity they deserve. I am truly blessed and fortunate to live life as I so, but that does not give me the right nor anyone else for that matter to treat people badly because they are not as fortunate as I am or others are. This mantra has brought me through life and has made me the person I am today.

Plus I know how to treat the fellas great as well. Having me around is pure bliss! Not saying I don't have my moody days but with a love like this who will even notice! :-D

Well we've reach the end folks. These are only a few of the reasons I am totally AWESOME, totally ROCK and I am definitely HOT STUFF! As I always say, 'To know me is to love me!' :-D Have a good night and I hope you enjoyed it all! Peace and Love in the New Year and Forever more!!!

Temptation

With dark brown eyes,

You look at me,

Longingly desiring my attention,

Lovingly trying to hide your feelings,

But I can see beyond your façade.


 

I try to resist your hypnotic gaze,

But,

I am not strong enough,

And soon,

I am drawn into your web.


 

I yearn for my escape,

But,

Your touch binds me to you,

Playing in my hair,

Playing with my hands,

Pinching my cheeks,

Rubbing my nose,

And giving me that irresistible smile.


 

You're always teasing me with your words,

Trying to get under my skin,

Trying to ignite a flame of passion,

That dangles between us.


 

I look away,

But you pull me closer,

Turning my head towards you,

Drawing my gaze to you,

Captivating me with your words,

Your smile,

Your lips.


 

I turn away again,

Yet you draw me nearer,

Bringing our bodies closer,

Touching me with your hands,

Roaming me with your eyes.


 

I cannot tell a lie,

I cannot resist you,

I cannot resist your gaze,

I cannot help these feelings of longing and desire,

I want you,

I want your sweet temptation.


 

You finally let it all go,

You kiss me,

With those wet,

Blissful,

Sinful lips.


 

You finally let it all go,

Broke down the barrier,

Removed the blockade,

And let me into your world,

Because,

All the games we play,

All the times I play hard to get,

All the times I push you away,

Is just to get your attention.

The story behind Forbidden Pleasure parts 1 & 2

Now, here is the dish on who this poem is all about. Now, I am sure many of you remember a hot and heavy couple back in 4th and 5th form with the initials J & J. Well do you? In any case, while J & J were in some of their countless make out fests they were caught not once but twice by our very own Dean of Discipline, Mrs. J. Gasp! What became of them? Let off with a warning, they did it again but this time they were again caught. Not by Mrs. J but by our Christian Living teacher, Brother F. who carried them away to the Dean's office. Luckily she was not there. And they were let off with another warning. Now that was the end of that.

My dedication to them: To J & J, P.S. When trapped in a world of ecstasy, make sure Mrs. J is not walking by (or Brother F.) Ha Ha! Love you both!
J—A


 

Forbidden Pleasure Part 2 ©

If you thought that Forbidden Pleasure was hot and steamy, well part 2 is even hotter. Whoo hoo! It is HOT in here! And as a special feature, at the end of the poem I will reveal who all this juicy mess is all about.


 

Never had I known such torture,

Never had I known such hidden desire,

Such forbidden pleasure.

But when you began,

I never wanted it to stop,

This contagious disease,

Making me oblivious and delirious,

To all reality.


 

Your hands carelessly caressing,

My skin,

Your soft fingers gently rubbing along,

My lips,

Waiting for the precious hour,

When your lips can finally pounce.


 

Then,

You softly run your lips across mine,

To rekindle the flame inside me,

Issuing a burning, longing of your touch,

Before your powerful lips press hardly,

Against my tender ones,

Sending through my body,

A fire of yearning and desire.


 

I cannot resist the temptation of your body,

Your sweet tongue dancing with mine,

You rub your tongue over my lips,

In an effortless way to tease me,

Stripping me of my very sanity,

Making me want more of this forbidden pleasure.


 

Sinful thoughts race into my mind,

I cannot control my emotions that are ablaze,

I desire release,

Release from this emotionless pit,

That I am buried in,

And your mouth seems to be only way out,

Out of this torment called life.


 

I yearn softly,

For this erratic behaviour not to stop,

I am filled to the point of pure ecstasy,

I cannot breathe without the air from your lungs,

You send through me with this kiss.


 

I want your precious body plastered against mine,

I want to be one with you forever,

But as we are about to further embark on this journey,

We are caught in this sinful act,

Yet again,

By the man carrying the iron whip.


 

I am told to rid you of my kiss,

To rid my lips of your kiss,

To rid my body of your touch,

And then taken off to solitary confinement.


 

But,

The real torture of the day,

Was not being caught,

Not even being caught twice,

But was the time spent,

Without your blissful touch.

Chapter 1

What can I say? I just could not help myself! I had to keep you a little something something for the New Year. Happy New Year All!!!

 
 

The day was bright and the morning cool. Orchid awoke to the sound of the birds chirping sweetly and the sun's light illuminating her bedroom.


 

The school day seemed to begin just like any other ordinary school day. Assembly seemed to be a never ending quest for boredom. The classes long and draining every ounce of energy that still remained in the students' flailing bodies. But little did they know life as they knew it was about to change indefinitely.

  
 

  It was about 4:30p.m. when the assault occurred; the vicious slicing of the unknown. Orchid was in her mathematics extra class when it occurred. She was minding her own business when it happened, but that was before she heard the words "there has been a fight". Overcome with curiosity Orchid ran to the door to see who the fight was between.


 

When she exited the class it was pure unadulterated pandemonium, as the stir of the fight blew in the wind. The news spread like wildfire through the atmosphere. As the conversations grew the questions about the fight escalated. "Who was the fight between?" said one. "How did it start?" asked another. "What happened?" enquired others. And different variations of the sort arose to the lips of the inquisitive. Different statements about the event were heard and the reactions to the news were received; but the facts gathered from all areas of the talk were that the fight involved Tara Tomlinson and Nareka Brady and Nareka used a t-square to whack Tara and slashed her across the side of her head. During that evening speculations of the outcome of the assault arose through the minds of everyone. Some said Nareka would get expelled, others said she would get suspended but there was no certainty to the outcome. Orchid went home with the event fresh in her mind and dreamt.
