Discovering the truth

~ ~M ~ 11 Comments

Insecurities are pointless,
for you’ll never be forgotten
by someone who is meant for you;
the attachment goes far too deep
to be severed by passing fancy.

And inside the heart of every heart
one knows their true intentions.
Thus, nothing will ever fall away
when it is destined for your life.

Simply trust your intuition
as every soul reveals its secrets.
In actions so clearly displayed,
the final test resides so assuredly
within the eyes of those we seek.

Along the avenue…

Along the avenue of lost souls
We danced deliriously
Entwined in each other
Oblivious to everything else

Prim

~ ~M ~ 23 Comments

What are you doing aside from getting into my space
Licking my face
And floating fur into my morning cup of tea
I get that you n I are a “we” now
But your inability to have boundaries is a little hard to swallow
I don’t necessarily enjoy your sassy little buns being situated in front of my face
You’re a sexy little sweetheart but not of my preferred species
I think we’re gonna have to rethink the terms of our agreement

Pixie dust and fire

~ ~M ~ 6 Comments

Foretelling flames
sparked the rubble
that’s when both of them knew
they were in loads of trouble

Pixie dust specks
and spatters of desire
flared each flicker
destined never to expire

And although the world
tried to keep them apart
divine interventions
sealed their fate from the start

Who would’ve thought
a little dust and heat
could make someone’s lives
so full and complete

From a sliver of a moon

~ ~M ~ 29 Comments

I dangled dangerously from a sliver of a moon
to search the land and silvery seas.
But even with my old trusty telescope,
I couldn’t seem to find you through the trees.

So I leapt onto a gust of westward winds
and sailed away on a stray pink cloud.
And now I’m living on a dandelion petal
doing things I’ve never been allowed.
