Daisy:

Not a single pixelized star pull me from you.

Spam bots and digitized currency,

Low brow, pocket change and rhetoric compliments.

I’ll be your bruised fists and your blood-soaked leather moto jacket.

***

I’ll be a Daisy in the school yard

Plucked and gifted by rowdy school yard boys.

I’ll be your contortionist.

I’ll Bend and snap just maintain the spotlight.

***

Become my wrath and lay to waste the audience,

Implied mankind with my twisted ribs,

Push it down their throats with your bare hands

And gut them from the inside out.

***

Don’t pull back, but push forward

Watch as the eagle soars and study its stoop.

Sore you damn bird. Soar!

for you Violet, I’ll go to War.

***

Violet:

Not a single pixelized star can push me from you.

Clear skies and birds eye view,

adrenaline rushes and free taxi rides.

I’ll be your lotus flower blooming in muddy waters.

***

I’ll lend them my heartbeat for when your heart is pierced.

As lightning strikes the wild Violet, my vibrant purple aura will sooth your sorrow.

Like a porch light on during the apocalypse

I’ll guide you to your new home.

***

A sip of the purest nectar, they’ll never be the same.

My fingers will cast them out from their rotting husk.

They’ll emerge and no longer crave the hunt.

They will be damned and drenched in a rosy fragrance.

***

From afar my aura will find you and tell you of my conquest.

The will of Men will become curbside trash.

They’ll go sterile and mad, just itching for another taste.

For you Daisy, I’ll love them passionately.
