Give the Devil Flowers

By Raeven Scarlett

They told me to get down
On my knees
To look up at them
Like the gods they are
And show my respect
So I told them
“You will have to break
My legs before I ever
Put myself below you”
And when my broken legs
Dangled off my thrown
They were the one with their
Knees to the ground

Her Eyes

Her eyes were the color of honeysuckle

And her freckles the same

An elegant portrait of disaster

And creation

Her tone of voice could bloom flowers

And shake mountains to the core

Her breath smelled of smoke

With lips as pale as cotton candy

Her rosy cheeks, tear stained

But her glare held determination

And don’t you ever look at her with pity

For she has lived through hell

And came out with fire in her blood

And an army at her side

She has not survived this life

This life has survived her

And she will conquer it

With her fists bloodied

And her clothes ripped

She will rise

And they will bow

Intoxicated

She liked intoxicating thing

Like cigarettes and long deep

Conversations

A night full of whiskey

Followed by a lifetime of stories

She loved the smell of grass

And the smell of gasoline

She was known for many things

But above all her sense of

Adventure

Human

We are brought to this world as small miracles

We grow up and become large adults

We work and work

We merry

We do mundane things

We attempt the
