Gunshot, Then Rain
Pitter patter
Heart does double Dutch
Breathing faster
The lethal touch
Pitter patter
Ground seems quaking
Pulling trigger
Soul awakening
Pitter patter
The shock a farewell
He made a ghoul
Out of matter
Pitter patter
Rain wets smoke
A pitter, a patter
Too late to revoke

Author's Note: Just a lil poem to keep my account from dying :P I'll try to post more, loves
Hey, friends...
I've been busy as of late with lifey things.
All of the writing I do right now has to contribute to my portfolio or be entered into publishing contests. So, I haven't been posting on Prose. I'll be back - but my writing is focused elsewhere right now.
You all are magical!!
Stay safe and healthy, friends :D
Your Name, Darling
I keep a notebook by my bed
For the thoughts that fill my head
When I’m losing sleep
These thoughts of me
I woke one morning to behold
Quick scribbled, a confession
One word written:
Your name, again, again
Now, as sad stuffs reminisce
I still taste your toothy grins
And consider when
You drew us holding hands
Tomorrow, I hope to think
A softer song to sing for sleep
Not your sleepy name
“Come home, Darling.”
~Cotton Candy
It’s All You
“Weak.”
Or so you think
Please
Are you alone?
Darling, it takes great strength
To do what you have done
Tell, who was it
That rubbed your sleepy eyes
Then tumbled from the bed?
Tell, who told you
Pick that body once more
From off the shower floor?
Tell, what power
Forced you light the stove
To cook breakfast for yourself?
Little steps
With
Big power
See
You’re getting stronger
Please
It’s all you
~Cotton Candy~

Sleepyhead
My darling sleepyhead
In the mornings when
I’m a mess
Drowsy eyes see frowns
Kiss me with your smile
Upside down
Drool face, love lots
Sleepyhead sings songs of
Tired thoughts
“Sleep’s for the weak ones.
“Sugar for my sweet love.”
She lyriced
Cry baby, eyes closed
While I’m alive, incandesce
You’re dead
Whisper your dreams
I am the ears to hear
Your everything
My darling sleepyhead
Forever we’ll be
Life, Zombie
~Cotton Candy~

WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?
I am
A living shadow
Shadow of myself
“Look on
The brighter side!”
“...I don’t wanna die.
The sun
It will kill me, so
Hide in heart’s mellow.”
WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?
I am
An artful cast clay
Vase, a pain bouquet
Good, yes
But nothing like the
Artist who sculpted me
Fragile
Cr Ac K myself to bits
Goodbye, will to live
WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?
This, I
A human being
Pro slinger trebuchet
Throw stuff
“Have my opinions.”
Though sometimes livid
Yet I
Will never be big
As the words I say
WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?
Look, there
See self reflected
Reflection on reflection
So many
Selves, I am many
The many of myself
My eyes
Ever searching for(ever)
That original
WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?
I am
A simple parcel
Of what I aspire
Hopes, hopes
Through wishes and dreams
Nightmares, presently
Myself
Too often found to be
My own worst enemy
WHY AM I NOT WHAT I AM?
~Cotton Candy
