a girl's eyes peek through the window
little black beads looking out
the night envelops the outside under its dark coat
looking back as if to check for intruding parents
she quickly grabs a circular mirror
she sits on the sill of the open window
and leaps
her bare feet feel the impact on the soft soil
cold blades of grass peeking between her toes
she takes the round mirror she's holding and places it
on the ground
she walks back
step
by
step
and looks into the mirror
now a portal to another world
the stars, holes poked through night's coat into the heavens
now brought to earth, reflected on the glass she just held in her hands
behold, o stars
I prayed to God three times in my life,
Once for my job, again for my wife.
The third was strange yet made sense to me.
"Please God, O Lord, I just want a tree."
The city reeked of trash and exhaust.
Clean streams and plants seemed forever lost.
I went to bed and had a vision,
Lord Almighty made a decision.
Woke the next day with a tree right there,
"Hey God, thank you, so you heard my prayer..."
I stopped to think of my location:
a place nearby specialized in cremation.
It connected, for what I did see
is that God grew a skeleton tree!
My dearest Mirna, my life and love
Apple of my eye, my turtle dove
You're the bluest sky, the sun and moon
The frost of winter, the warmth of June
Crown of my kingdom, beautiful queen
The gentle tea leaf, strong coffee bean
My sweet hand holder, my confidant
The only treatment I truly want.
Scissors in left hand, cord in right
To see you again, I'll lose the fight.

Inside the Circus Tent
one
trip to
the circus
means exploring
the world of misfits
and their frivolous ways
of taking the human mind
and chewing it like bubble gum
until the bubble explodes at last
into glimmering, shining confetti
gracefully falling as feathers do
nobody else can hide a world
inside a whimsical tent
like circus performers
for they are masters
of containing
magic and
sealing
it

Old Man Winter's Antics
There once was an old man named Winter,
Who, with glasses lost, was a squinter.
He blamed his friend Fall,
Who did nothing at all,
So he stripped Fall's trees into splinters.

Hello! I'm Violet-Petunia but you can just call me Violet. I speak English and Spanish but I usually only speak English here on dA. Writing is absolutely my favorite thing to do, I like doodling too but it isn't my forte haha I love horror and sci-fi, fantasy is pretty good too. That's about it, I guess. All comments, faves, and watches are appreciated!
