Souls sending tendrils
Twisting through the universe
Until they can touch
Lyla Aug 27
Were you happy
Before you met me?
What were you looking for?
There are two answers
The one you know
And the one that is real
Can you distinguish them?
The answer you received
Seems wrong
But the universe makes no mistakes
Sometimes when you go looking for trouble, you find it.
Lyla Aug 27
I know your secret heart
the one that flutters
in fear and longing
weak from hiding
in the dark

Yearning for escape
but afraid of the space
it demands
That no other
can coexist with its

enormity

Love that part of yourself
allow it to Become
it calls to me
and I answer
let it greet me
Lyla Aug 26
It’s green for you and black for me
Each color plays its part
It’s green for you and black for me
The icon of each heart

Then I met you and you met me
There at the waterfall
How I touched you and you touched me
We never touched at all

Green for you has always been true
But black for me’s too cold
Your green awoke my dreaming soul
Exposing color bold

It’s green for you, now red for me
A tender rose unfurled
The green of you with the red of me
Blossoming in the world
My attempt at a ballad in common meter for a prompt "Red".

I want to experience myself
through your eyes
And show you the world through mine
The beautiful place you occupy
in my heart and mind
Lyla Aug 25
three times with your name
on silent whispering lips
almost ecstasy
Lyla Aug 25
a mountain landslide
tears away years of debris
exposing its heart
The hillside is scarred, but new growth is assured.
