Unlucky hearts grow black
as time withers their beats
Most beat a plump red,
the dull thrum of an ordinary life
But gold lines the veins of the rare
their energy an encompassing vibration
It colors their world, enticing
the rarest heart of all,
one that sees beyond a shiny finish
to love and nurture
instead of siphon and wither
✨Deferential Devil✨
Rain taps at my door asking to come in
The wind howls its cries to a lost love
Thunder rumbles and lightning darts
through the sky, a flash bulb in the dark
I listen, and feel, and smell the petrichor
never as happy as the nights when it storms
✨Deferential Devil✨
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✨
Tonight the clouds drifted away
leaving the sky naked
for all but the stars
Because not even the moon
dared to show its face
while the stars shone so bright
✨Deferential Devil✨
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✨
Time steals so much from us
don’t let it to steal more
I want to feel that touch,
the one which sings to me
as it wraps me up
and draws me close
to whisper sweet nothings
and sends shivers down my spine
✨Deferential Devil✨
He knew how to tease me
how to make me sing
and he strummed
each chord
knowing well
how the music
would drip from me
✨Deferential Devil✨
I’ve danced to entertain
and I’ve danced for myself
but rarely have I danced
close, and slow,
with another
✨Deferential Devil✨
There are those
you can miss so much
it feels like missing pieces
Breathing is harder,
concentration flies away
on a squirrels back
And while you’re whole
all on your own
nothing is quite the same
until they’re by your side again
✨Deferential Devil✨
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✨
