Nikki XXXVII
She was content in heaven. It was calm, quiet, and patient. In the absence of conflict, a piece of that wild heart began to slip away. It was nothing more than an innocent desire to preserve the wild that was left. She began reaching out for more. More brought conflict, friction—and storms. Heaven was the last place she ever expected to find one. Yet it came, tossing her to and from. From signs and numbers to synchronicities and people she never expected to find. Light radiated out forcing flowers to bloom. Banishing shadows and filling the world with color and truth. Even with all of this—she still looks over her shoulder from time to time and remembers fondly the gentleness of Heaven with the knowledge that none of us are meant to live forever.
Nikki XXXVI
In a moment of brazen passion she snapped her chains and marched back to reclaim her throne. Eternity welcomed her with open arms when she pushed the gates opens demanding, “Out of the way.”
Nikki XXXV
She’s perfect in her honesty. She’d sooner die than adopt a ridiculous porcelain mask for the sake of the doll gallery. Her only flaw is that she lack’s the will to shatter the chains pinning her wings down.
Nikki XXXIV
Say the word love, and we’ll vanish into the fog with guns drawn in a hail of bullets.
Nikki XXXIII
I wish I could just rip it out and hand it to you. At least with you, I know it’s safe.
Nikki XXXII
There are times when I am certain you can hear the silent screams from my mind.
Nikki XXXI
The days run into each other where you sit in the back of my mind like an incurable disease. Smiling and staring. I’m always deliriously happy to see you there and simultaneously on the brink of madness.
Nikki XXX
I awoke to find you there. You were sitting there smiling at me. We spent or time catching up, embracing new beginnings. A piece of me died in that paradise when awoke to realize…it was only a dream with a storm brewing outside in a gesture of understanding. Your smile flooded in unprompted but welcomed. The memory was a welcome relief from the cruel fantasy of a vivid dream.
Nikki XXVII
Only the fearless have the bravery needed to smash through the blockades and vails into other realms. It will demand more than brawn and brute strength from you. But it’s certainly well within the scope of your abilities. Be fearless and ferocious…maybe a little feral. It’s all at your fingertips, all you have to do is hunt it down and attack it the right way.
Nikki XXVI
I knew when I heard that laugh for the first time. She was twirling in a blue skirt, sending a dig towards a friend. Before I could see her eyes, I knew it was her. She spun, locking eyes with me, and I knew I was in trouble because I was already smiling.
Nikki XXIII
It never fails, when I write about you. A page full of words and you dive into the pool of ink, swimming across the page. The words wash away and splash over the edges, never to be captured again. Perhaps some beauty is just for us, never intended to be shared.
Nikki XXII
I passed someone who reminded me of you today and when our eyes met she knew that it wasn’t her I was staring at. Not a word was said when she touched my shoulder, but the tenderness of the moment exchanged life stories.
Nikki XVIII
For everyone I have met it can be said that there’s another. You are so impossibly unique that I will never find another you.
