Yellow Words On A Blue Background

by Melissa   Feb 1, 2015


I feel like a daylily at midnight,
all backbone, no nerve

folding dreams into tiny paper stars
and making wishes with words
that quietly sparkle

but then I feel that heat on my spine,
and I know it's you
daring me to bloom

    report violation

    Brilliant little piece -f only those supportive people were more plentiful; one for each of us, maybe!
    All the very best,

    Hello,

    this is intensely sweet. Brilliance masquerading as a shrinking violet. We all want that special someone who can make us whole.

    Well done,

    Michael
