Star-crossed Lovers Series, Pt.1

I'm Free

A dandelion among the stars,

not a firecracker,

not bright or bound by gravity.

I will be small,

small enough to let my friends feel like stars, boundless and full of purpose.

I will not be envious of their long life, intensity, or luminescence.

I will be happy to be free,

to float,

to live in the wind.

Until the sun rises, I will roam and carry them with me wherever I land;

We’ve come too far to fail.

We’re too close to harmony to not enjoy the solitude of our lives,

to not be grateful for our differences,

to not just be happy under the light of their presence.

I am but a seed

And you,

just a star in the galaxy.

I live in your light,

and you shine because I’m free.

Litmus Test

insurmountable mountains proved moveable on that summer day in July; the world was born to be beautiful, and excellence glazed over the sky.

I ‘stumbled’ into a doubtless morning; the air was crisp and clean, as if the sun rays dared blanket all that my eyes had ever seen.

the clouds whispered in their lover’s ears; and the birds played my favorite song, as I laid there ever-so quietly learning to hum along.

the sunshine kissed your stomach sweetly as the bees went shopping for new trees; and suddenly for a moment, I became who I wanted to be.

our laughter ‘slipped’ harmoniously in tune with nature’s pitch, seducing the trees to dance in windy rhythms; and once again, the world was rich.

I felt the ‘plunge’ of a joyous thrill overwhelm me as I tucked my head into your arms. musing ‘mellow’ and melting ‘yellow,’ my soul bubbled delightfully in your wild skylit warmth.

you ‘sprang’ and ‘spilled’ a wonderland under the love of bright sun beams; as I gazed down at your body, sweat ‘drops’ of dew began to bead;

and down into a land of day lit dreams, I serendipitously ‘fell,’ as they boldly glistened and gleamed lilting a tale they knew oh so well.

they chimed a melody that happily embraced the wishes of rainbows and wind; for these prismatic, dome ‘window panes’ contained all the keys to life’s origins.

they made oasis waves ripple across space, and time came to an end; now, I reminisce about those days in hopes to once again transcend.

Looking back…

I have a rather suspicious guess when I ponder about that lovely whimsical day

that I would have failed a ‘litmus test’ for true love’s kiss had never before done me quite that way.

Is this all AI?

haha. no. i write all of it. just the mad ramblings of a lost girl i suppose.

but the pictures are not mine. they are AI and made with NightCafe, and i edit them in Canva. i make no claims to their originality. Though i do draw. just not fast enough to draw something for each poem or song.

The poem ^^ I’m Free features one of my original drawings.

A. Scarlet Heart

my heart’s now made of darkness,

I’ll play your game.

on my chest; draw a scarlet A;

I’ll take all the blame.

if you’re gonna brand me a villain,

I’ll light up this flame.

I’ll spark a match just to watch the

world burn in your name.

speak of the mighty devil, and she shall appear.

she’ll take everything from ya since you volunteered.

they say money’s the root of all evil,

but they’ve never met me.

I play with the devil’s advocate;

don’t dare bet against me.

get ready and heed my warning;

you ought to expect me.

a necessary evil, I had to become;

you will never forget me.

I will take you down with me to face hellish frontiers.

we’ll go to hell in a hand-basket to find what you fear.

I’ll summon my rebellious hellions,

and zip up my Reaper jacket.

I’ll melt and mix up magic to place

poison in your brass cup.

with threads of molten hot malevolence,

I’ll weave a flower basket.

rafflesias, wolfsbane, and monkey orchids,

I’ll lay them in your casket.

speak of the mighty devil, and I shall appear.

I’ll take everything from ya; for you volunteered.

you’ll go to hell in a hand-basket; I’ll learn what you fear.

you’re coming down with me to face hellish frontiers.
