Shall We?

So many stories to tell

So many,

So many adventures to share,

To experience...

If only time would still

Till I could do it all,

If it's not this, it's that.

If not that, it's this,

How can I do it all?

The clock still ticks

Constantly so,

Not losing a tick nor a tock

So what am I waiting for?

Who am I,

Not to seize the moment?

The moment is now!

For tomorrow is never guaranteed.

I do what I can and make every moment mine,

Small or big, the adventure is mine,

Mine, mine yes it is mine.

I may do it all,

I may not do it at all,

Key thing is I tried...

And will keep trying.

I will make the very best attempt...

And then beyond the attempt,

I will simply do till it is,

And say I done did it.

Yes? Yes!

Shall we?

Indeed!

What is Love?

What is love?

A feeling?

An action?

Both? 

Or is it pure imagination or desire,

Of  what it would feel like to be seen,

To be appreciated,

To be accepted,

To be...absolutely free...

Free to be,

Entirely you, me, we...

Without any inhibition,

Without any fear,

With no masks nor facades,

No walls, or may be much lower than what the rest of the world sees,

Is love vulnerability or strength?

Or is it both in perfect or imperfect balance?

Is it endurance or perseverance or patience?

But wait...if that is so,

Up to what point?

Or perhaps it's weakness and meekness?

Hmmm...

Does one continue to pour out,

And release that which they perceive to be love unlimitedly?

What happens when the taps run dry?

Wouldn't that be too much?

What if there is no reciprocity?

Or is that the way it's supposed to be?

Wait...

Is that the mystery of it all?

And what if how we give it and receive it...

What we perceive it ,

How we present it or experience it to be

Is absolutely, positively different...

Does that still count?

Does love really still exist?

Real love, true love that is...

Beyond the romantic stuff,

Beyond the flittery - fluttery feelings,

The real stuff...

The sure, undoubting love that's secure,

Does love still exist,

With you, me, we?

Hmmm...

Update on Taking in the Cards on the Table

 Greetings my lovelies,

I hope this finds you well. Just an update. Went a bit quiet because was cooking up a great storm ;-). Due to the demand on the Taking in the Cards on the Table Series, decided to complete it as book. 

Thank you for your patience. Hopeful to release it by end of the year, latest, early next year - God willing. I am forever grateful for all your support, encouragement and kindness through my storytelling journey. 

In the meantime, I shall continue to share short stories and the lot. Join in the adventure and as always invite as many to share in it all and feel free to let me know your experience through the comments.

Excited for the journey ahead, the Simpl-O-cated journey of course ;-) Check me out on Instagram as well under @simpl.o.cated.

All my love!
