Horoscope

Flowetry

I am a Taurus.

A raging bull scattered across

the hallucinatory predictions

of early 4th century Babylonians,

whispers amongst the Greek Gods

and Chinese restaurant place mats.

I am  fiercely loyal, 

over protective,

love you like no other,

stubborn as hell,

best sex you'll ever have in

your entire life,

crazy beautiful,

eccentric,

once in a lifetime kind of woman.

With that being said,

my horoscope for today

tells me that I'll be faced with

a difficult challenge.

Yeah, no s**t,

it's called life and that's

everyday for every human

with a pulse on planet Earth.

Check

It also says...

Be careful who you trust.

Well duh...

I learned along time ago

that smiles are often lies

hidden behind the white pickett

fences of those who wear masks.

Check.

And lastly, you will embark on a

new adventure, yes, coincidence,

probably, but yes, and I'm coming 

for everything they said I couldn't have.

I'm attacking like a category 5 hurricane,

tearing a hole in the sky for my eye to see

the new world that I created for myself.

My extrovert is whispering sweet nothings

to my introvert, 

putting peer pressure on that b***h to find

that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow,

you know the one they say doesn't exist,

well it does, I've seen it, I put it right next

to my throne, the one made of sapphires and 

I told you so s.

Here let me show you.

Grab my hand and you can watch as I build

my empire

word by word by word.

I'm stacking my sentences like a ladder,

Each letter a wrung

Each wrung a person who told me

You can't

You won't

You'll never

Now I'm standing at the top

looking down at those people

I'm tossing out my legacy

like pieces of confetti.

Catch some,

I dare you

Cuz I know my success

will be their death,

my smile, their headstone,

their eulogy, my laughter

so don't dare try to dull

my sparkle y'all

just cuz i'm the shooting star

that you wish upon now.

Taurus

We don't love easily,

we like a lot, but rarely love.

However, once we do love, you'll

never see another love like it.

my heart swings from a 

twisted spiders thread,

a beating optical illusion

of lukewarm lullabies

and broken fairy tales.

Chapter 1

We meet

Chapter 2

We fall in love

Chapter 3

We get married

Chapter 4

We have kids

Chapter 5

Wait... where are you going?

Our story isn't over yet.

Where's my happily ever

Lie #33

Never

The End

Lies are the painkillers

we feed the innocent in hopes 

to numb them from the truth

we are chocking on.

Come closer and whisper it

in my ear

Your breath smells of 

temporary forevers

Your eyes the color of almost

Your body made of glass,

but when you hug me,

I shatter.

I am a Taurus female.

The most emotionally powerful

of all the zodiac.

I am hard to find

Hard to keep

and hard to forget.

I am a woman of magic,

a sorceress if you will

My hands are wands

made of blood and diamonds

and with them

I can create happiness

beyond your wildest dreams,

And with them, I can destroy 

your whole reality.

I have the power to lift you

up so high, you have to look 

down to see heaven.

I also have the power to make 

you question your whole existence

in this world.

so be careful how you treat this

Taurus because how I use my magic

depends on you.

Taurus

A stubborn bull

Horns like a devil

Eyes like an angel

and a mouth like both.

You see my mouth is a music box.

It plays the beautiful melodies of

my unscripted brain and echos 

repeatedly into yours.

I see your paying attention now.

Are you listening?

Can you hear it?

My words are the lyrics

set to fire

sung in dialects

that no longer exist.

They are whispered between

strangers on empty subways

and written on the walls of churches,

I may not be noticed, 

but my absence will be missed.

You can find me on a map

like a treasure,

not hidden.

Can you see me?

I'm right here.

If not your s**t out of luck

I did not come into this world

 to be average

I came here to change yours

I am a Goddess standing before you

kissin' on your cerebral cortex

can you feel that?

That's a mind f**k.

So throw your head back

and let eyes close

orgasm so deep It'll make 

your body float.

Now exhale slowly and look 

up at the sky

It took me a long time to finally

stop wishing on stars that had 

already died.

If it's meant to be,

It'll find its way back to me,

so if your in my life

is cuz I want you to be,

not cuz I need you to be,

Trust me, I'm paying attention

to who believes in me,

You will  search for me 

in every person that you meet

I promise

and never find me

So good luck ever trying to

forget about me.
