Petals

February 14, 2019February 14, 2019 Bella LaneLeave a comment

I’m reminded of the time You stole me With words as thick as syrup Drug me to the depths The deepest, darkest cave Planted me in the musty soil Watered me religiously Gently cared for each Glorious, vibrant petal Velvet in your hands Until you stopped Plucking out One by one My precious blossoms A… Continue reading Petals

Emergency Contact

February 13, 2019February 12, 2019 JuliaofoceaniaLeave a comment

Emergency Contact   It’s funny the way that everything can fall apart all around me, and yet, I am nearly unaffected.

Burn

I am delicate like the morning The gentle sun kissing your cheek Warming your soul After the darkest of nights I am destructive like a fire Burning you down From the inside out Only when you deserve it I want to be that morning sun Every day you wake To kiss you when you’re weeping… Continue reading Burn

My sweet boy If I could paint the sky for you With the fiercest love It would be a color indescribable A color only a mother could know My sweet boy With so many rifts in your gentle world If I could only show you Your little spirit is enough To guide you My sweet… Continue reading Sweet Boy
