The smiling cat

Can I be a cat like you?– asked the little girl curiously.

–Of course darling.You can be whoever your wanna be, answered the smiling cat, you just need to want it hard enough.

– I wanna be a cat! I wanna be a shiny black cat with green eyes. Eyes greener than the grass! – the little girl screamed as tiny and furry little ears appeared on her head. Her soft skin turned all black and hairy, and her eyes became greener than the summer grass.

–But the world seems so big when you are a tiny little cat.. I don’t think I like it. 

The big cat smiled again. –The world is big for little girls as well. 

–Then maybe I should be something bigger! Something fearless! I want to be a lion!

The little cat was now gone and in its place a big and fearless lion stood proudly.

–Now i am the king of the jungle, the king of all the animals. The king of the world!

The cat smiled. –Oh mighty lion, what about all the people? You are not their king.

The lion stood quietly. –Then make me a big and strong man! 

– So you want to work and have big responsibilities all day,every day? – the smiling cat seemed very amused as she was floating around the man’s head.

-But that sounds so boring,cat. I just wanna be a little girl again.

The cat smiled. 

-Of course darling, you can be whoever you wanna be.

Teardrops

 

Once upon a time there was a little mouse who was in love with a beautiful red rose.

Her beauty and grace were nothing like anything he had seen before, so he would spend hours by just looking at her gentle leaves and wishing he could just hold her, even for a second. He was madly in love, but even so, he never had the courage to come any closer to her. He thought he didn’t stand a chance with such a perfection.

The rose however, burned from desire to meet the little mouse. She could always feel his stare on her back and every time she caught a glimpse of his eyes, she could tell they were so sweet and filled with love and honesty. The rose felt as nothing and nobody could harm her when he was around.

They were both crazy for each other. Their love was so pure and unlike anything else in the world.

But one day the little mouse didn’t find his red rose. The spot where she stood so still and gracefully before was empty. She was gone.Two big watery drops stumbled down the mouse’s face and fell down on the ground. His heart was broken into million pieces and the love he felt for his lost rose was now stronger than ever before. In fact, it was so strong that his little heart couldn’t handle the tragedy. The mouse didn’t live to see another sunset.

Months later, two flowers appeared from the ground on the same spot where the teardrops fell. They grew into two red beauties, who lived on to tell the story of the little mouse who loved a red rose.

 

Passion

 

Passionate looks.
Fast heartbeats.
Soft trembling lips.
Endless kisses.
Two innocent souls speaking in the dark.
Only the moon shines.
Powerful and bright.
They are like the moon.
Eternal.

Amy

Amy was a pretty girl.

Not in a ”gorgeous,jaw-dropping” kind of way though,but there was rather something unique about her.

Maybe it was her beautiful,dazzling smile that made people feel special around her.
Or maybe her little sapphire eyes that were like two puddles of water-so clear you could see into her soul.

Amy was a popular girl.
She lived in a huge house,that looked more like a mansion,with the most spectacularly beautiful garden ever seen.
Living the life of a princess,many would assume her to be arrogant and self-centered,but the truth was far from it. There has never been a girl as loving and caring as Amy.
She had many friends therefore,friends that loved and were ready to die for her.

By having it all – looks,brains and wealth,there was not a person alive that didn’t predict her a bright future.

Amy was only 16 when she went missing.

Indifference

-What do you mean you’re in jail ?!

I heard my mum’s high-pitched voice coming from the kitchen.

-How on Earth should I find that much money in 2 hours ?! You’re insane.

She slammed the phone down loudly and started swearing.

-What did he do now ?- I asked as if we were talking about the weather and not my little brother being in jail.

-Ah god knows what. Alcohol,drugs,whores.. Frankly, I didn’t even dare ask. That little brat is going to be the death of me.

I wasn’t very surprised by her indifferent tone and calm behaviour as she was lighting another cigarette and looking for the bottle of whiskey. Her lack of interest in her own children never failed to amuse me.

-So you’re gonna go and get him,right ?

-Ah,but darling I have a meeting with Roger in half an hour and you know how important that might be for my promotion.-she put some red lipstick on her full lips and it seemed like she had already forgotten that tiny,little detail about Daniel being arrested. -And besides,I couldn’t possibly find the money for the bail in such short notice.He’ll be fine,it’s just one night in the prison for fuck’s sake.It’ll teach him a good lesson.

After she had done her make up she blew me an air kiss and walked out of the door.

Unbelievable. Though,nothing could amaze me in this family anymore.With a constantly drunk father, mother whore and a brother criminal, I often wondered how did I turn up to be normal.

After I made sure all my credit cards were in place,I fetched the car keys and set off to,once again, rescue my little brother.

Vicious

“So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending.” – J.R.R. Tolkien

There is not a view as magnificent as the one of a vicious dragon celebrating its victory over the weaker.

The dragon was standing all tall and gracious in the centre of a burning circle.Surrounded by big flames,he seemed  genuinely proud of those hot,red snakes that were turning everything into dust.

You could tell he enjoyed that glorious scenery he had caused,completely unaffected by the tiny screams of the animals around him.

It was the most monstrously beautiful dragon that the world has ever seen.He had a huge,yet elegant body covered with plate-like scales that were the colour of lavander.His long,thick tail had sharp,bladelike extensions on both sides and he had a few of them on his head as well.There were still little sparks of fire coming out of his black nostrils,but nothing on him was as scary as his little,almond-shaped eyes that looked so empty and cold as ice.

He was truly a ferocious creature.

All of a sudden,he sensed some disturbance in the air,so he open spread his huge,but graceful and purple wings that made him look almost ethereal.

The sky went all grey and in the very next moment million raindrops started falling down heavily.

The dragon gave one last furious roar and flew high in the sky, leaving nothing but ashes behind.

Gifted

-You’re not like the others.You are different.

Those words came as a shock to Alice.

She couldn’t believe that blond woman was genuinely talking to her,let alone believe in what she was saying. Her? The invisible 17-year-old girl,different? There must have been some mistake.

Although,once she thought about it,there truly have been some unexplainable stuff going on around her lately. Like earlier in the cafeteria.She could swear she somehow knew that Amy would fall and break her leg.And she tried to warn her,but no one took her seriously enough.As usual.

Or that weird dream last month about an airplane crushing down in China.On her own big surprise,she did see that same airplane crushed down 2 days later on the news.

She thought it was just a queer coincidence then. But now,she wasn’t very sure.

The mysterious lady smiled at her.

–You can see the future,Alice.

Omen

It was such a warm day.

Tom didn’t mind a little heat though.In fact,careless as he was,he rarely minded anything at all.But something felt different today,he thought when he noticed the dead,black raven in front of him.

Suddenly,a distant memory popped up in his head.

It happened on a day as warm as this one.
She was old and looked terrible.

Unexpectedly,she clutched Tom’s hand, looked him straight in the eye and said in a queer whisper:

– The world as we know it will soon come to an end.

And now he could swear he saw a dead,black raven in her hands.

Hey you

Some days you just have to create your own sunshine.

I just read this today and realised something.

It all depends on our own selves.

No one’s gonna come and make everything okay. No one’s gonna just make all our problems disappear.The world simply doesn’t function like that.

Therefore we just have to get our shit together and move on.No matter what.No matter how ugly the world seems today. No matter how terrible everything looks and feels.

There are better days on the way and damn right we should be ready to enjoy them when they finally come.

Everything’s gonna be okay.

All black everything

The darkness is so confusing, I swear.

It fills you up with fear and anxiety, claws up your throat and you can feel yourself drowning into its dark soul. But, at same time, there is something really comforting about it. The way it lets you be your true self. They way it makes you dream while bringing back memories you thought were long forgotten. It makes you second-guess all your choices and decisions in life,all your wrongs and rights and silently asks if they were really wrong or right. What was once thought to be a wrong turn ends up pretty nicely in the end,so maybe it wasn’t wrong after all. Maybe there are no mistakes in life,just positive or negative experiences. Life lessons. Or maybe nothing really matters. Maybe we are all irrelevant.

There really is something about darkness that makes you think..
