Luck isn’t some mystical,
or uncontrollable thing
that happens to a person
Luck is what you see in life
It’s picking out the things
which went right, rather than the things
which went wrong on a day

Happiness
Proud
I’m proud of how you decided
to change what didn’t serve
the kind of life you want
Your courage is immense
and your heart is bigger
than you’d care to admit
But I see it, acknowledge it,
and celebrate the kindness
you’d hide from others
✨Deferential Devil✨
Always
It’s not the color of the windows
for which I fall,
because peeking through wispy blinds,
is a soul,
sometimes tattered, well worn,
or even a bit that’s torn
It’s not just the lovely outside
that’s lived such a life,
but the shadows and highs
the lows and the light
of a being so right which
always
sets my heart to flight
✨Deferential Devil✨
Silver Lining
I love to watch the moon through
a lacy curtain of limbs and leaves
The way it lights up the night
or hides in a dark cloud
casting that silver lining
always sought after by the hopeful
✨Deferential Devil✨
Night Air
The window screens have holes
in this rented, old house.
But I open the window still
to feel the night air,
with its gentle and refreshing chill
which lightens all that I carry
and washes the grime from my soul
✨Deferential Devil✨
Beautiful
The most beautiful people
are so much more beautiful
in person, than in pictures
It’s their scars, and imperfections
and stunning personalities
which make them so alluring
not how perfect they were
for a flash moment
✨Deferential Devil✨
Apocalypse Partner
My apocalypse partner
is young, full of energy,
and enthusiasm
and I wish everyone had a him
because he keeps it new
And when he grows up
he’ll have stories to tell
about the time the pandemic came.
And I wonder… what he will tell
those who came after him.
✨Deferential Devil✨
Powerful
The powerful feeling of recovery,
and realization of power held,
for a survivor of abuse
is only second to the
addiction of true love
and knowing they
won’t hurt you
like others did
✨Deferential Devil✨
When I Dance
When I dance,
my demons
sip tequila
and step out,
letting all of me
bend, float,
and twist
to the pulsing beat
if only for
a moment.
✨Deferential Devil✨
Spark
I hope the only piece you need
is the missing piece of your One.
You are already whole
even if a little cracked.
When someone is the One
they add electricity,
and light a spark which can’t be
unplugged, turned off, or ignored.
Their presence within is often
impossible to describe,
and affects moods like a light switch.
To be turned on by the one
is, in fact, the best turn on.
