She was a real tasty candy apple treat
Loved by all the men she’d often meet
Subtly sexy and radiating desire
Just what every man sought, wanted, and required
But there was a secret which she kept hidden
Something about her, so temptingly forbidden
One nip from her and they’d finally understand
Vampires always have the upper hand

Rainy night
Odd streaks of light
Rainbow flecks
Breathtaking effects
Umbrellas rush
Hearts melt and crush
Sprinkles splatter
Puddles shatter
Silver bells
Cast their spells
The moon shines
Revealing signs
Busyness ensues
Amidst stunning views
Nobody sees
The magic in these

Writing prompt: The sounds of silver lights
I’m thankful for my friends
The ones both far and near
Who always steer me right
When nothing is quite clear
Without you in my life
I know I’d never get through
And the happiness I’ve felt
Is really all because of you

I’ve been thinking about love
And how for a brief moment
I held it in the palm of my hand
I was filled with a hurricane of emotions
Something my heart could barely withstand
So powerful was the force
That it took me by complete surprise
And my heart now wonders
How such a love ever became compromised

If success is only measured
By man’s own heart
Than what the hell have we been doing
From the very start
We live each day
Trying so hard to get ahead
And with all this mindless shuffling
It’s a wonder we aren’t dead
We scurry and worry
Then we sigh and we cry
While all along never realizing
We’re really just living a lie
Because this isn’t actually living
It’s not about what we’ve done
At the end of the day
We aren’t even having any fun
Instead we’re torturing ourselves
Frustrated by our lack of gain
Each day is just a wilting effort
Driving all of us insane
We’ll never accomplish everything
And never be all we’d like to be
It shouldn’t take our entire lives
For us to finally see
We’ve got to stop measuring our happiness
By the world’s standard views
And take on the dauntless challenge
Of living a life of a whole new hue
Daring to risk it all
Our regular lives might come with a cost
And yet without even trying to change
We forget we’ve already lost
