“Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly.” Mark Twain

life can be pure fun
when you let the obstacles not rule
your life or let others that carry
enmity
let them go
be the person often that shows
the light inside you by your
smiles and strength

let your hugs tender your
heart so that forgiveness
brings your love to the surface

kisses dissipate hardness and
sorrows, and carry you to a
heaven on earth in that moment
with lasting joy

love like the brilliance of the sun
and light of the day that returns
over and over

breaking the rules
living a life of fun doing what
you love
never heeding the rules of others

life is magic
real seeds of joy to yourself
and others that grow
sprouting love and happiness
a forever mating.

Thanks for reading.

My newly traditionally published book, A Good Witch, a fantasy for young adults, upper middle grade, and for the ageless too, is available on Amazon, as are all my books.
