Unexpected Fireworks

 

I expected quiet

I didn't expect fireworks

But you delivered

Wish For Dreams That Never Come True

 

Why bother to wish

On shooting stars for those things

I know cannot be

Hungry For More

Writing Prompt and Image Source

Hungry For More

I know this is the proper portion

Of tasty, healthy food

Which should be enough

To satisfy my body’s need

But I’m hungry for more

I need sweetness

Not just icing

But the whole cake

A little lovely substance

But not too much propriety

I’m sick of obedience

To rules I didn’t choose

Meat is good and vegetables fine

But what about a little wine

I crave a morsel of decadence

My need lies sweet on the tip of my tongue

My mouth waters for what I truly crave

The unspoken

Forbidden

Excruciating desire

For something I can never taste

~Cie~

The Prompt:

Light and Shade Challenge

A Soul Lost (Though The Body Lives On)

Malcolm Young, age 61, suffering from early onset, rapid progressing dementia; he cannot recall things that happened two minutes previously, and he doesn't recognize people he's known all his life. The person in the above photo (which was taken when Malcolm was still healthy) no longer exists, although his body still does. And that is the worst of tragedies.

 

A Soul Lost

(Though the Body Lives On)

 

That the light has dimmed

Behind vivid rainbow eyes

Fills me with despair

 

With love for someone who touched my life,

Cie

 

 

Blooming Psycho previously wrote about Malcolm in this poem.

He touched a lot of lives for the better.
