You’re a vivid CYAN

In a sea of LAVENDER.

And I wonder if you know

That your KISS tastes of

AMETHYST.

-S.Lilobell (A HUE so bright it blinds the SUN.)

“It’s becoming more difficult to walk past the mirrors in my house. Each day it’s harder to recognize the person staring back at me.”

-S.Lilobell (A broken person speaking to herself.)

Renouncing A Title.

When the Knights came,

In shiny silver armor,

She would frown

And turn them away.

And when the Prince’s came,

On their valiant white steads,

She left the window

With nothing more to say.

The Suitors came next,

With their well written verses.

But she knew too well

Of loves evil curses…

…Oh but when the Dragons came,

The princess finally left her tower.

Leaving behind the fairytale rose,

To become a WILDFLOWER.

-S.Lilobell (Heavy is the head that wears the crown.)

We were never cut from the same minerals.

You came from a world of sharp jewels that cut to the bone.

And I grew from soft soil,

With only beautiful petals to show for it.

-S.Lilobell (Turns out you can’t turn a Rose into a Ruby.)

I was never like you

And for a long time that confused me

Because all I wanted was to be

Part of your world.

-S.Lilobell (But I could never be the ruby you wanted.)

Cyclical Human Beings

There’s not much you can say to seasonal people.

Temporary words stay longer than they do and

The December air is too crisp for their never ending need for change.

Their blankets of fall get tucked away before winter is even over

And no amount of warmth will keep them near for summer.

So what can really be said to someone who leaves a mountain of avalanches in their wake?

“Stay close for the seasons have more to offer than the rivers you’re used to…”

Or maybe something with a little less substance?

“There’s a bonfire tonight and a s’more with your name on it…”

Maybe it’s useless to try and contain running water like them.

They’re made of iron slivers that will leave you with a mess of wounds to clean

And a fountain of new anxieties that will never let you sleep in peace again.

So instead, say goodbye before ever saying hello to a Cyclical Human Being…

-S.Lilobell (They won’t stay long enough to hear your farewell otherwise.)

It was never like you to

Kiss me until the sun came up.

It wasn’t until I opened

My eyes did I realize

You still wouldn’t…

-S.Lilobell (Excerpts from a dream.)

I saw colors in your eyes

I’ve never seen before.

A beautiful hazel that hid

Generations of pain,

And I couldn’t help but wonder

If mine looked the exact same.

-S.Lilobell (“You have pretty eyes.”)
