Teenagers are just
Entering the real world with an
Emotional roller-coaster.
Never understood by others,
All they can do is
Grow with hope,
Excitement, sadness, and fury.
Radiating curiosity are some while others
Seem to already have it figured out.
Daystar is a poetic word for the sun,
And also another word for the morning star; when
Yellow shines in the sky at sunrise and sunset, with
Spiritual glow to impart and to comfort us.
The eye of heaven, it is said to be, or perhaps just
A planet called Venus;
Radiating like a lamp to light our way on Earth.
A picturesque scene from my window this afternoon.
Banishing all greying clouds, the sky is pastel blue.
Radiating the sun's rays, rain was not seen for days.
Astonishing vibrant rainbow of flowers are strewn.
Clusters of marigolds, daffodils and lilies grow.
A glorious image appears in the far lagoon.
Delicate swans are gliding in the sparkling waters.
Adorable signets will be completely grown soon.
Bewitching aromas from where the white jasmine grew.
Rain was not seen for days, radiating the sun's rays.
Alluring sunset drenches all crimson, by the moon.
First time I saw you - I don't recalL.
I do remember the light of lunA
Radiating upon your lovelinesS,
Seeming, like in a picture, to make time halT.
Then, years later, the eternal image oF
The somber shrinking last trace of you, girL,
In a slowly disappearing taxI -
Maybe, it will always feel too sooN...
Everything must have an endinG.
S-owing seeds of positivity in every heart
P-aving way for a brighter tomorrow, a fresh start
R-adiating smiles and warmth, spreading cheer
E-ngaging in acts of kindness, year after year
A-iming to make the world a happier place
D-ancing with joy, wearing a happy face
I-gniting hope, where there is despair
N-urturing relationships, showing that we care
G-ifting the gift of happiness, spreading it wide
H-eralding a feeling that uplifts the soul
A- heartwarming emotion that makes us whole
P-ermeating through every inch of our being
P-ositivity and joy, it endows, freeing
I-nfectious and exuberant, it spreads like fire
N-urturing relationships, it brings us closer
E-uphoric and exhilarating, it fuels our desire
S-avoring life's moments, making memories fonder
S-haring it with others, increasing its worth
S-oaking in the happiness, that life brings forth.
Finespun delights dangle gently from moonlit ethereal summer blooms
Adrift melodic chants of faeries charm warm sultry evening breezes
Emanating from mother earth’s most elusive timeless dimensions and
Radiating from every hidden nook are tiny magical faeries you’re not meant to see
Illusions all too endearing when noticed out of the corner of your eye
Enviable the luck these faeries bring to all who can befriend them
Dragonflies and butterflies are nimble faeries’ chariots of choice
Unfurling sublime bits of joy throughout their kingdom’s breadth
Sprinkles scattered of magical faerie dust everywhere in sight
Their twinkle charms the night in humble reverence to our moonlight goddess

Giving love that sparkles in purity
Inner peace that permeates the surrounding
Versing the voice of compassion
Imparting righteous values and virtues
Not demanding to be heard, but listening
Generating a charisma by inner elegance
Greatness of God perceiving through prayers
Offering a hand to help, and selfless
Devoted to integrity and consistency in thought and action
Light from within - basking in it and glowing
Yearning to seek truthfulness
Giving the glory of grace, unbiased and fair
Radiating the warm glow of kindness
Acting with humility, rejecting pride
Caring to understand and to forgive freely
Encouraging holiness conforming to God's will

Star-struck
S-tuck in the ceiling of the clear night sky,
T-ell me, are you three, five or seven pointed?
A-s my way is consumed by the darkness,
R-eveal my path with your brilliant twinkles.
S-truck!, I was mystified from a tender age,
T-ruly, are there more of you than sand grains,
R-adiating energy eternally through the cosmos,
U-niversally sought for a peek into the future,
C-lustering to aid navigation and time telling,
K-eeping us Star-struck from birth till death?

Perhaps in this life not
Attainable although perpetually sought,
Radiating joy and constant peace,
A place where troubles cease,
Delightful absence of hatred and fear;
Idyllic atmosphere
Sequestering the soul,
Eternally with God and whole.

R- esting so beautiful among the flower beds
0- bject of man's devotions
S- ending your message of beauty to all
E- ndearing, among them you're the best
I- n a colorful display your bearded face
R- anting to the Sun, all day and night
I- ntroverted you bow to the ground but
S- till in your grace you kiss the Sun
M- iracle dressed up in yellow,oranges
A- dding to your presence more warmth
R- adiating such a beauty under the Sun
I- nviting within your petals light
G- oing around in circles,endless
O- bvious to my eyes,you're having fun
L- ayers of softness,so ilusive you are
D- ancing away under the magic of the Sun.

F eeling the urge to play
L ingering looks of coy wanton
I ridescent abandon
R adiating from every pore
T antalising conversation
I mitating movements
N ervous stimulation
