Challenged by the beautiful Lee from goldenpinkjournal, these are my black and white photos taken over the last 7 days (ok, some are a few days older), along with my recent Instagram poetry and my own quotes.
There are two types of people – one’s who create their own ideas and ones who run around trying to steal them. Be someone who doesn’t need to use anyone.
You can’t save what doesn’t want to be saved. And although I jumped in the water,
and floated for hours to your soul,
with jewels to make it look tempting,
if you won’t try to reach my hand,
no direction will lead you to my heart.
If my mind is a dreamer,
maybe I am a dream?
If I hold on to pain…is my life painful?
I dream, but I ain’t sleeping,
understand my life and I keep things moving,
got an ass I’m shaking, body been baking,
do it how I wanna, ain’t got time for the faking,
see my life crystal clear, stole the shoe of Cinderella,
if my happiness runs short,
I will appreciate those feelings that I fought,
not thoughts of not knowing,
I’m wise like the sword in the stone,
I don’t throw what I won’t catch,
sea flicks for a minute,
that’s good and short; acceptance keeps me educated.
People come into our lives at certain times. Maybe they go after the rollercoaster, or perhaps they stay until the park is closed. As long as they have made me laugh at one time or another, I will move on with a smile.
The castle walls may look enchanting,
inside the walls they have moulded,
is a girl who cries echoes of sounds.

Thank you so much for tagging me in the challenge. I loved putting this post together and whenever I am feeling a little sad or down, I can also go back to these poems and motivate myself. x
This looks so beautiful and I am a huge fan of the black and white – gives a very time-capsuley effect. Great choice of words too xx
Thank you! Black and white photography is so beautiful. This has actually made me want to shoot more of them. xx
Wow amazing photos and amazing words!! Love this challenge its super creative 🙂 xx
Thank you! I would love to see you do it. You take great photos and I think you would find good variety. xx
Aw thanks sweets!! I am trying really hard to get better at it. Your photos are always fab! Any tips you have please do send them my way!! xxx
Amazing photos, and they combine really well with your poetry!
Thank you!!
There is just something magical about black and white for me. Enjoyed the poetry especially the one swimming out. At what point to you have to let go and move on or go down with them.
Thank you! I love black and white images. I just think that they are really classic. I was in a situation where I felt that it was either sink or swim..and so I swam. Tough decision but I am happy I chose it.
Beautifully atmospheric!
Thank you!
Love your photos and your poetry is amazing girl!! Love those 2 quotes that you posted as well. Thanks for sharing this with us & keep inspiring with your poems <3 🙂
Thank you! The quotes are actually my own, I am not sure why I put them in quote brackets. I used to never post my poetry because I so worried on what people would think. But it means a lot when I read comments like this about it. x
Oh wow, your quotes are amazing! Always love your writing style and you have a great talent with poetry girl! 🙂
Thank you!! I will try to add more to my blog 🙂
You have such an eye for photography! I love the B&W photos.
Thank you Courtney! If I had a good camera, I would probably take up photography as a hobby.
Your photography has always been stunning, but I adore how you are a talented poet as well! Poetry is definitely something that I enjoy writing whenever I have the time, and posts like this definitely inspire me:)
Thank you Maria! I actually started writing poetry ten years ago, when I wanted a way to share my thoughts without writing personal diary entries.
I would love to read your poetry if you do ever decide to share. 🙂 x
This is a gorgeous post with beautiful photographs and equally beautiful poetry!
Thank you! Your poetry is so inspiring. I take your comment as a huge compliment. 🙂
All my pleasure 🙂
I love your photos! Your words for each one definitely made me look at each one a little different too. I really liked the one with the dog, he seems deep in thought 😀
Because I have not uploaded all these images to my Instagram, I ended up having to mix and match some of the poems. But I love that they made you look at the images differently.
I think that is my dogs annoyed face. Like when I pretend that I have thrown his ball.
