Lavender dappled light caress my face awake
As visions of lilac swirl into focus
While dripping in amethyst sheets.
I robe myself in fine indigo
Trimming my feet ripe plum.
Radiating royalty and luxury I greet the day
Swaddled with creative intent.

“Not a hate crime.”
Molten lava climbs up my throat.
“A hateful crime nonetheless.”
Eyes clouding red.
“Must follow the letter of the law.”
Tongue sharpening, teeth gnashing
“He walked out of the home very nervous.”
White knuckled and red smiles on palms.
“He is mentally ill.”
Stomach a roiling sea seeking release.
“I’ve been waiting for you.”
Cold lead through veins.
“He pleads not guilty.”
Tears dropping quenching the fire.

"What if…"

March 16
Thanks Ann W. for the opening sentence and Susan M. for the closing sentence.
" What if…"
What if…
the muse doesn't appear?
my moon falls into the ocean?
no one really likes me?
one of my cats dies?
I'm ugly?
the world blows up?
all the suffering continues?
I won't be loved?
I won't love?
my children don't love or respect me?
black Jelly beans become extinct?
my fears are too shallow?
my body will fail me?
my computer will win?
my home will burn down?
I'll forget how to swim?
no one will care?
there will be no more nice people on earth?
I'll forget you?
I turn left instead of right?
I am unkind?
I'll fall?
I'll fail?
She seems sweet and sincere, but what she was saying was utter bull shit!

Love, keep 'em coming Angie.
