After we met, the tables suddenly turned.
I finally have what I've always yearned.
After that Full Moon Scorpio in May,
When I cried 'cause of a certain day.
Now, right after the Full Moon Taurus night,
We grew closer, heard each other's plight.
I stand on balcony where we always smoke,
I look at the moon, remembering every joke.
I smile, with a tender love, solemnly wishing
That someday we will share everything.
I love how much you are the same as me,
I love how you set me free from old misery.
Every time you go home, I never sadly worry,
'Cause I know you and I are a true love story.
I look at that train station beneath the moon,
And I know I'll always see you again soon.
Gone was the green of summer
though I never knew it so
wrapped in your mother's quilt
it never loved you more
Precious velvet ribbon dreams
left by a devoted lover
golden sunlit stitch in seams
fingers touching light all over
Caught watching an intimate moment
fiercely attentive to your task
long fingers delicately soothing
glorious calfling that you grasped
You have my word I'll come looking
though never by light of day
Pray Taurus and Orion may stop clashing
for two huddled under mid winter's sky

The people born under the zodiac sign of the bull,
Are projected to have a loving yet, determined nature,
Usually accompanied by sympathy and warmth.
Relationships and friendships are valued, yet so fragile,
Understandably, they are pampered and overprotected,
Suggesting stubbornness is also a prominent trait.

He'd lived for fighting! In the ring,
the matador was hailed as brave.
They said he was the bull fight king.
He'd lived for fighting in the ring.
But then he lost, one day in spring -
his birthday - trampled to his grave.
He'd lived! For fighting in the ring,
the matador was hailed as brave!

Taurus
One born a Taurus may portray
kind patient, loyal, lasting love.
Steadfast, alert, a firm mainstay-
one born a Taurus may portray.
Bit stubborn, lazy, some may say,
with frugal traits, unlike above.
Yet, negatives do not outweigh
kind patient, loyal, lasting love.

Sign of Taurus: about April 20 to about May 20.
My mother-in-law was a Taurus.
Thought she was the easiest person in the world to get along with.
Incorrectly thought.
People loved her. She was revered and adored.
Also feared and tiptoed around, for she needed her own way
Most of the time. She also stood up for the underdogs,
And wanted others to have their own way too.
She was nurturing and loving when she liked you.
She had an eyebrow raise that could strike people dead
When she was displeased. I only saw it every day or so.
Usually directed to my father-in-law who was terrified each time.
None of us dared laugh.
A Taurus is an eclectic combination of
Have-To-Have-My-Way, and Want-You-To-Have-Yours-too.
We never double crossed our Taurus.
She loved me to pieces, and I her, but I knew who was the boss.
...Taurus sat across from Sagittarius as she opened her gift. We watched in awe of this... With a smile & a laugh she had slain our hearts, but Taurus was a goner. The other Zodiacs knew that we would never see Taurus again... T'was now his destiny to remain with Sagittarius... for all eternity. It could be said that none of us ever truly left. A tiny bit of us ?? would always be with them.
I am a Taurus
so I know what it is
to be a bull nature/spirit.
I have been a late-spring bully
and I have been bullied
so I know one
when I see and hear
and smell one.

you have fooled some people
all your monoculturing time.
You may have fooled all of us
some of our anti-healthy-wealth
WinWin
secular economic and sacred ecological time.
But
as long as I remain a breathing Taurus,
you will never fool all of us
all this climate time
of growing ecopolitical pathology.
Aries must learn danger with their own toddler test.
Taurus grasp emotions from the feel in their chest.
Geminis wish for words hearers clearly digest.
Cancers thrive in a neat, loving family nest.
Leos strive to lead infused with praise about their best.
Virgos shelve their dreams for duties that sternly pest.
Libras view couple love as perfect life's peak crest.
Scorpios forget naught, hiding all in mind's vest.
Sag needs outdoor adventure per their soul’s request.
Capricorns need for perfection is not a jest.
Aquarians hear their own drum and march with zest.
Pisces bear any news without shock or unrest.
Such a lazy beast
Even if lightning struck me
I still wouldn't move
And yet when I see her come
My hooves start stomping the ground
Taurus
Have a Taurus in my life
Fact is that I have two
They are both extremely right
Insist on it until they're blue.
Life has been a contstant struggle
These rivals strive to always shine
Cannot decide which right is righter
But what a mighty force combined!
They organize their world
Then start to fix yours, too--
Be careful what a Taurus
Might do if he loves you!
You wanna come over?
Sorry made plans.
Know that don't appeal to your mans'
vision of what I should oughta be doin
but is ok...
'cause here what I've got to say about that.
Is a two way street, sugar
and don't know where you've driven
but I've met road-huggers
of 'bout every make, model and style
think I'll give in
to inequality. You wanna be with me?
Than make me feel least half as good
as I do you.
When I touch his perfect skin
He tells me that he's my perfect 10
Calmed inside and cradled in his pride
My love for him I cannot hide
Against his chest I sleep so deep
Forever in the palm of my hand, his heart I will keep
His gentle voice captures my heart
And fire burns when we're apart
His ring finger belongs to me
His baby blue eyes teach me to see
His soft kisses melt my lips
He's slipping through my hair with his fingertips
Against his side I intend to stay
He keeps my demons so far away
Protection he offers my soul to rest
And acing with flying colors, this perfect test
His laughter tends to put me at peace
All warm and snug in his fleece
Security warms my beating heart
Being with him was so incredibly smart
And now for life he's here to stay
And be by my side from day to day
Support and stability came real quick
I just wish I wasn't so internally sick
In his wings warm is where I stay
My compassionate Taurus born in May
My little Marine born to kill
Who's life alone gives him the will
His defensive mind trains my soul
Although the Military takes a toll
But I've found him and he's found me
For he is my air every day that I breathe
Lazy earthquake
Luscious bake sense
Don't make her mad.
