dandelions crushed
beneath her
as she walked
in the grass
with her hoof
pressed carefully
to the dandelion

snap! snap! snap!

she was breaking heads

[purplerosesbeauty]

She was a gracious queen -
With bright, laughing eyes -
Elegant, sweeping -
Those who adored her couldn't look away -

She fluttered -
Fluttered -
Fluttered -
Fluttered -

From one to another -
Lights to lights -
Kisses to kisses -
With fluttered lashes.

tasty in her tummy
red and pink and white
yummy yummy
a heart of smiles
and a strawberry belly

[purplerosesbeauty]

she took the time to imagine and fantasize all the good in the world

[purplerosesbeauty]

a dark room / staring from across the world / i follow the light
the whole world starts to disappear / with only one thing left behind

the world destroyed / by fire and flame / everything we lost in there
a miracle left alone for once / growing despite it all

so desperate / to come up for air
a seed cracks in bloom / neon pink i don’t care

all i want now is you / i want more / my azalea

my azalea

She dined alone, with nectar and fruit in abundance. Flowers and roses surrounded her, the floral smell overwhelming.
She took a bite, letting the juice drip slowly from her mouth. Her face paled, but she kept eating and breathing in the intense scents. Even as her stomach churned with ferment.
It was sickly sweet, like her.

on the edge, just a hint of glittering gold

he was gilded on top

and breathed in the opulence

[purplerosesbeauty]

languid lazy laying down
comfortable cozy curled up
soft sleepy sitting now
restful reliable relax

[purplerosesbeauty]

you may contain the urge to run away -

the wind cannot escape
gentle,
held tightly between the mountains
hard,
she will not let you go

the wind can press
easy,
but she always breezeblocks
firm.

the road ahead is long, winding, and full of dogs, but he stands in your way. it is only him, with war on his breath and sinister smiles. he's been waiting for you to run away, his little prey.

"oh," he laughs, as if surprised.

"you



can't



escape."

but i'm someone's daughter, aren't i?

she looked for her parents among the roses

[purplerosesbeauty]

it was a sight of horror / to be seen so naked
as our skin split like ripe fruit -
and sluiced off like warm snow -
and leaving us bare as winter -

it was a sight of wonder / to be seen so strong
as our skin repaired like fresh buds -
and stretched like new insect wings -
and leaving us growing as a sweet babe -

all manifested in our mortal flesh

He lay in the grass, looking up at the clouds in silence. The breeze was gentle and the day was bright. He could see so many dreams in them, idly floating by. He enjoyed the quiet daydreams.

the bird sleeps soundly
a finch in a birch tree
the sun rises brightly
a finch sings with glee
