Love's Arrow

Love’s Arrow

As the arrow pierces your heart, fear not,

The end is not near,

New life has just begun.


Naturally, nervous hands grip the rough shaft,

With each turbulent tug more blood drips.


The blood spits,

it spews,

it spouts, like a never-ending fountain.


The mistake is never forgotten, as you breathe your last breath,

Each breath, pulls you closer, to your timely death.


A Frantic mind wanders,

then it wonders:

What if you had not felt the fatal pull,

remained together with your fateful dart?


With your drastic instinct, you made yourself extinct,

As you would rather die, than to have an arrow pierce your heart.


A Star in the Sky

A Star in the Sky

Close your eyes and what do you see?

The darkness without the light.

Lost,

Blackened,

With not a single light in sight.

 

Light sprays out from stars,

Lying all throughout the universe,

They are speaking and sparking,

Hoping to illuminate life,

And converse.

 

A billion years ago,

A light shone towards this place,

Today as you walk out the door,

It calmly lands on your face.

 

Look at all the millions,

Stare up at all of the billions,

Of stars in the sky.

Look up and ask yourself why,

Why you can’t join them,

To sparkle and shine.

 

Become a star sparkling in the sky,

Make sure to shine bright,

You never know,

Who may need your light.
