sevenling: ghost

I believed we had a spark:
the way you smiled, the morning
texts, long walks in the park

when I asked to level us up:
texts ceased, no more dates
or just because flower gifts

I guess it was easier to ghost me

belladonna

they were poisonous but cool

she wanted to be a part of them

so she swallowed that pink pill

that would rot her insides, but

at least she will be seen as pretty

but the euphoria never lasts –

before her eyes she found herself

on the outside looking into the

dollhouse where she once occupied

that never loved her back

my wishes

my wishes

dangle upon

my tongue

like leaves

on trees

in autumn

that will

soon fall 

and slowly

be forgotten

a simple kiss

who knew a simple kiss

could make my heart quiver

like a naïve teen falling in

love for the first time

I thought I had become too

cynical to fall so easily for

such romance but life always

has a way to surprise me

majestic

his majestic smile

honey brown eyes

lured me in like

a sailor listening

to a siren’s song

I should have

been more careful

not venturing out

into deep waters

like mom said

now I’m immerse

head under water

by his alluring magic

that now has gotten

a total hold on me

- Posted for tonight's dVerse OLN

naive hearts

we had naïve hearts

as young children

that knew nothing

of broken promises

or love’s pain

we learned hearts 

could be broken

beyond repair but

also mended back

if done with care

water bottle

you, aluminum bent

into a bottle form

refreshes my tongue

with ice cold water

helping me reach

my daily goal

that not so stylish

at least I know

you won’t be sitting

in a far off landfill

taking up space

suppose I’m doing my

part to save the Earth

though she may end 

up burning anyway

set in stone

there are days

when the rain

won’t stop

other days I

can’t get enough

of the sun

this roller-coaster

can be draining

at times yet,

nothing is set

in stone

things change 

like the seasons

so I know

this phase will 

soon pass away

chocolate

though I try my best

to stick to the plan

once that chocolate

touches my tongue

I just can’t go halfway

but all the way in
