That ravenous yearning that
Never satiates because
Mosquitoes cannot ever
Be fireflies, Parasites
Can not be friends, Symbiosis
Will never be our way of life
It is far better to plunge the
Knife deep into my flesh or spine
Than to see me as the magic
To charm your pathetic
Shortcomings into muscle
This princess is going to
Another castle, This dream
Will float on another cloud
And one day when arrogance
Has thinned more than hair follicles
You’ll recall that grey fuzzy
Space you once thought I occupied,
The one you considered to be
Your magic elixir
But sadly as I have learned,
I should never hold my breath.
Well written Mira. Youa re going from strength to strength. I am tough in marking, and do not easily give 5 stars.
Thank you! Coming from you that means a lot 🙂 I usually only write poetry when cranky hahahaha
