From the glistening waves
to the boundless shore
Strings of love dwell
in the enchanted violin
From the untamed daisies
to the serene marigolds
Appetites of wicked flames
burn in a pink stratosphere
From the beaming sunrise
to the caress of your hand
Admiration is a blazing star
above Cupids’ Dream Drive
Shadows or darkness
become a lost road of lust
Only worship and devotion
entwine on this long concrete

Your lips
are meant for talking
with sarcasm and intelligence
Your lips
are meant for sucking
lollipops and hard candy
Your lips
are meant to turn me into a
a pile of mush and goo
When are you going to use them?
I can’t sleep
without the scent of your pillow
Toss and turn
I can’t sleep
without you beside me
Toss and turn
I can’t sleep
without your warm embrace
Toss and turn
I can’t sleep
without a kiss good night
Toss and turn
I can’t sleep
without saying I love you
Toss and turn

In this reflective light I couldn’t see your enigma
In this reflective light I couldn’t see your
dark wild
And the bricks stack up
In this reflective light I couldn’t see your
shades of gloom
In this reflective light I couldn’t see your
leaves twist in your tiring wind
And the bricks stack up higher
In this reflective light I couldn’t see your
blinding aggravation
In this reflective light I couldn’t see your
scorching tragedy
And the bricks surround me
He doesn’t know how great I am
He doesn’t know how special I am
He’s known me since the second grade
He doesn’t know I’m going to be famous
He doesn’t know that how much I love my Mom
He doesn’t know how I see the world
He doesn’t know my soft pain
He doesn’t know how I love
He doesn’t know I am gold yet
He doesn’t know I have the eyes of a photographer

You don’t need stunning
lipstick to make you sexy
You don’t need layers
of make up to make you beautiful
Just be real
You don’t need curves
to make you ravishing
You don’t need to perform
sexual acts to make you desirable
Just be honest
You don’t need to hide
all of the layers that make up you
Just be simply beautiful

Up in a turpentine sky
A cloudless mirage echoes
Brilliance glows
Mornings splash
Abundance of joy sparkles
Fires twinkle
Souls singing
Hope is renewed
Faith is guided
All from the rising of the sun
*Priya had chosen this title for the challenge.
I scratched my itch
I packed my bags
I didn’t laugh
I couldn’t say a word
They were already said
I held in the jungle
I swallowed my confusion
I didn’t see the condition
I couldn’t see the barriers
They were already built
I walked away from the illusion
I quietly closed the door
I saw a new found path
They were always there
I just ignored them

Browallia’s flourishing
in the blackish ridge
of the twinkling garden
Valiant orchids
blossom under a
bisque echoing sun
Spine tingling laughter
Inhaling sweet affection
Savoring a glass of Merlot
Exhilarating conversation
Meeting the love of my
life on Montmarte

I saw vibrating rainbows draped over a slippery moon. I saw glitter on 20 x 20 frames. I could hear the grand piano playing in the deserted mountains. I saw a glimpse of red in the clouds of rage. I saw rivers of champagne. I witnessed sorrow hiding deep into the caves. I saw the sun bellow. I saw bouquets of silence seek Cupid’s harp. I fell into the well creeping behind the parade of jesters. I saw the edges of souls bleed tears of joy. I saw emptiness screech. I felt the warmth of diamond shaped hearts. I found a bottle of spilled ink and the words were never ending. I heard trumpets around the bend. I saw blank pages but words rattled and spoke like gospel. I discovered the path of humanity. I caressed the gentleness of others. I climbed into the vortex of raw emotions. I felt the infinite words in ink overflow within myself.
To care is to have patience
To appreciate you have to lose something
To love you have to treasure seconds
To forgive you have to be human
To grow you have to make mistakes
To be kind you have to listen
To be human you have to open up your heart
To gain perspective open up your eyes
To be ignorant close your ears
To be special just be yourself
To live is not to be afraid
To be alive you have to learn to feel
Crawling like a snail
Watching the hour glass
Staring at paint dry
on the curbside
Playing in the sandbox
Mesmerized by the fallen
rainbows and stardust
Absorbing every minute
Not one second is rushed
Pixels illuminate
Enhanced motions
Days inhaling weeks
Weeks serenading months
Smiling leaves dance
Rivers singing in harmony
Families at dinner tables
Time is a speck
Life is fully embraced
