“I sit and wait for the moment..... to Arrive” by Paul Tyree

I start off, waking up and wishing I could for see what the day will bring, yet without assurance of the day's events or even the next moment to be a certainty. I move around in my bed, looking at all the bedroom has to offer, then I decide I will fix some tea ths morning, instead of my usual cup of coffee, possibly two cups of coffee, for today my friend will be paying a "surprise" visit. "How long has it been, since we last visited?" Since we last visited, it was before the last time we were at war, the country that is, deeply involved ...

“To Share that which is Embarrassing to Me” by Paul Tyree

"How do I even know where to begin or how to start?" "How do I share this or that, without the fear of being criticize and judged?" It does not feel easy or seem easy, as most would have one believe, yet most have no truly understood idea of sharing and pouring out one's emotions and one's feelings, that everyone could honestly say that they understand what I am experiencing or having had to go through or deal with when that moment presented itself I feel that when I am saddened or angered, when I am happy or overjoyed, when I am bewilder...

“To express Emotions Yet not know which Emotion is being expressed” by Paul Tyree

I stand before you, yet you are not there. I speak to you, yet you hear nothing I have to say. I want to share with you how I am and how I feel, yet you have no response to what I share. I am beside myself, I am enraged and bewildered, I am so overwhelmed with a seething anger, frustrated because of how this is happening and how it will come to an abrupt end, that was never foreseen, even if I had imagined it to be this way. I am looking out into the night sky, with a starry and cloudless expansion of the great void, the endless space of t...

“To receive Comfort or some form of Comfort” by Paul Tyree

Ah! the hug that is given or the spoken words that hope to help someone see themselves differently and maybe even smile. Oh how can this be even equally explicit as a kiss on the cheek or on the lips. "How far should one go before it steps over some certain "line" or possibly crosses a certain boundary that is placed between two people who may or my not share some form of attraction"? "How can this be the very thing, the hug either side ways or straight forward into a close embrace"? "Can this be the way to share in and participate as ...

“"Where to go to eat a fine meal"?” by Paul Tyree

So "where shall we go to eat a fine meal"? You may ask this question more than once, when you are hanging out with friends, or just rather not wanting to cook at home. Since here, where I am presently living, the amount of places to dine out at vary from El Pueblito's and Taco Johns, to Subway and McDonalds and don't forget about Sonic and, of course Dominos and Pizza Hut to only name a few of the many odds and ends places to enter, if you want a choice to wine and dine, lest I jest indeed. Of course, lets not forget about K's Place, The Gr...

“The Memories won't leave me Be” by Paul Tyree

The memories are there, clearly making sure that I will not forget them. I have never felt so alone nor so afraid of what may or may not happen. I clearly need to move on and let go, yet it is easier said than done. How does one arrive at the point, they allow a specific memory or past event to haunt their dreams, to possess control of all they say or do at any given time? How can any one person, place or thing keep one guessing or wishing for an end to such a horrific event? Not to be too bold and not to seem like a coward, somethings are ...

“Do I ever Remember?” by Paul Tyree

Do I ever remember? Of course, I remember all the things that made the memories and all the things I remember that made me smile. I remember when time would seem to "stand still" and the moment would seem to "last forever". I remember how I played my first ballgame, how I was in my first play in school. I remember where I was when the New Year was rung in, when I had my first kiss, and yes when I first cried. It was these defining moments that were part of the journey that would one day lead to where I am today and where I hope to go from he...

“Deja Vu was never like This” by Paul Tyree

I woke up. I was looking around the place I was presently at, and not sure whether I should be surprised or worried. I noticed many of the things that should belong there, yet were somehow out of place. Almost like they were added to make this seem more real than they were, or to possibly fool me. I tried to get up and was not able to, thinking i was restrained or being held down, but when I opened my eyes, this was not the case. I felt unstable and was not steady enough to rise up, much less gain my balance. I was upset at this "develop...

“I Didn't Expect This to Happen” by Paul Tyree

Let us start this story or short story off with two unusual people who are not your average people. Let us start off with two completely different people who are very opposite, in every sense of the word, yet somehow have a bond that goes way beyond physical, mental, emotional, or anything else that would bring two people together or more so apart. Let us give them names Morris and Louie, the later name being a female, who chooses to use the name Louie, instead of Louise. They both are typical individuals, with which they both are from diffe...

“Imagined in Mind” by Paul Tyree

Yes! Yes, Yes!! Yes, Yes, Yes!!! I started with Yes for a reason. I started saying yes because I was very happy to share this so you too can say Yes as well. I was dreaming in colors, yes vivid colors of all different shapes and forms. I was dreaming or so I thought I was. Dreams can be vague or vivid, easily forgotten or easily remembered. Dreams can have a meaning, multiple meanings or no meaning at all. They can be of one thing or event, can start suddenly or end suddenly, In my mind's eye, I visit the subconscious after I have vis...

“Wishing wishes that somehow come True” by Paul Tyree

Oh to wish, upon a star, I may wish yet never to wish from afar. "How can I wish for that which may never come true"? To be the one who wishes for, though the wish I wish for was not less but not more. I wish upon the starry skies, I wish upon dark of night, I wish upon with my breath I might. I wish so much I make my stomach tight, and with the wish I wish I am filled with dread and fright. I sense the wish I have so spoken, I wished while I was wide awake, yes very woken. I sensed with my mind and with eyes open, I wished for something beh...

“To Listen or to Talk.... too much” by Paul Tyree

Submitted to Contest #280

To be or not to be, is this really the actual question? This can be more than just an unanswered question, yet it can be the beginning of something more pressing. This is where our story starts at, two people speaking to one another about this or that. so why would it have to be or not to be? because I said it is and it was and it will be, that's why. But if that is the questions how can you define an actual answer? I may have to make it up as I go along, even though I do not wish to lie, even to my own self. Does that make sense? No it does...

“Ah! Alone at Last” by Paul Tyree

Submitted to Contest #279

To begin my adventure, of seeking out the proof I needed, I would have to travel near and far, anywhere and everywhere. I would have to look in all the places I knew of and then explore places that I knew nothing about. I would even seek out any explanation of what had happened to cause this to place from the beginning. I first learned of this event, which was never televised or spoken about on TV or radio, since we were a town of past era communications, yes we were still using things that had long since been abandoned by most. It was when ...

“Imaginative Lost.....forever” by Paul Tyree

Submitted to Contest #279

No matter which way I turn, I am going nowhere, unless you count and recount the steps from where you were to were you are. I turned to the left then to the right, I turn north and then I turn south, then I turned east then I turned west, all to no avail. It seems that no matter how I turned and where I turned, I was never sure where I had finally turned to or onto to. I was uncertain where I was at or whether I had actually even made any progress, because I was always going in circles and it was beginning to feel like I was trapped inside a...

“At Last the Secret's revealed” by Paul Tyree

The beginning started with how the individuals who were standing around the bed, where the soon to be departing family member, would be lifeless and at best, finally at peace. Of course, this can only happen, when one has made peace with their maker or if they asked for absolution for all their "past and present" "sins", can they then "cross over" to the other side, no matter which side that may be. It is hard for anyone present to fully understand, no matter how great or how small, a surprise can be, when with one's last breath, they utt...
