Pixie dust and fire

~ ~M ~ 2 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

Something Soupy

~ ~M ~ 25 Comments

Something soupy
A dollop of droopy
That’s what describes my day

Something failed
An idea derailed
Things aren’t going my way

A harrowing mess
Oh the distress
If only I could just start over

But the time it would take
Oh what a mistake
Trying to keep my composure

Can any of you relate
By these feelings of frustrate
Ever feel like burying your head?

Why do we even begin
Bearing an idea within
When we could’ve stayed in bed

The best part of me is you…

~ ~M ~ 12 Comments

I get swept away
by the sound of your voice,
transported to that place
where only we exist.

Crashing within the waves
of your all-consuming love,
entranced and submerged
by the depths of your desire.

And since the beginning,
I have always known
that you were to be mine
and I was to be yours.

You are the truest love
that I have ever known,
and the very best part
of who I have become.
