Be the light that I need
Be the air that I breathe
Be all that I can see
Whenever I forget to be me

Do you have a muse,
someone who inspires;
do they always stand by you
no matter what transpires.
Do they turn your dull days
into momentous occasions;
do they motivate you
with very little persuasion.
Have you found your soulmate,
the one who anchors your feet;
are they the sort of person
who makes you feel complete.
Have you captured the one
who loves you as an equal;
do they bring purpose to your life
and not another boring sequel.
Do you belong to that someone
who always helps you grow;
are you with the one person
you always wanted to know.
Are you with that one love
you can’t live without,
or are you living your life
full of endless days of doubt.

I just want to get lost
in words I can feel,
immerse myself in things
that are anything but real.
No more creepy crud
or boring Elmer Fudd,
I need to escape into a world
that isn’t such a dud.
I want swirling galaxies
to come sweep me off my feet
and imaginative stories
where I can actually feel the heat.
Bring me to exotic places
where anything can exist,
show me all the things
that you know I can’t resist.
Lead me to a world,
one I’ve never known;
let me see your universe
and make it all your own.

Writing prompt: Creepy crud and Elmer Fudd

Toxic thugs triumph
Causing skin crawling issues
Some blame radishes

*I can’t believe I thought for one moment that I could successfully use this prompt, and I’m not sure how I even came up with this prompt in the first place. But when you’re conspiring with a twelve year old, anything can happen. 😉 I’m determined to keep my writing streak all month though. So please just shake your head and be on your way. I’ll try to do better tomorrow.

Wild horses leap
Along flourishing meadows
Carpeted in thyme
