fluorescent yellow paint
I paint a sun
center of a flower
stripes of a dinosaur
giant tulip with peach tips
eyes of a cat
dots on a ladybug
clown fish fin
butterfly wings
Dots on a mushroom house

Neon’s radioactive glow in a window,
offers the cheap promise of pleasure.
Like a hypnotic, fluorescent serpent,
It flashes, blinks and winks - “Welcome”
It fairly slithers on rain-slicked boulevards,
it warms like moonlight on cold unfriendly nights,
It signals cool, ready fun in the summertime.
We dress our vices in silky, pastel colors,
gamblers choices of Disney flavored whiskies.
It’s the soft, velvet glove that hides brass knuckles,
oh, you’ll feel those bruises in the morning.
The world’s a dark alleyway with an electric blush,
whose color flatters the lonely, desperate,
and makes sin look like something you could fall for.
Neon is perfume for the optical senses.
In that light, everything seems possible.
Isn’t that girl smiling at you? You see,
beauty is easier to trust than the truth.
Neon imperviously reflects off regrets,
and glitters brightest on broken dreams.
Of course daylight is harsh, but honest.
Didn’t we come in here to escape it?
.

Sitting in the glow of the sink's fluorescent light bulb.
Relaxing on his couch as I am playing and writing on my phone.
Thinking of all the things to tell him when he is fully awake.

Driving to the hospital, you crack jokes.
Jokes about hate, and wanting to leave.
Those aren’t really jokes.
The truth is so easily heard.
I didn’t even have to say anything.
The silence suffocated you.
So you suffocated me back.
Rubbing my back,
Kissing my cheek,
Holding my hand.
You knew I didn’t want it.
My “attitude” said it all.
The fluorescent lights blinded me.
I didn’t want to see anyway.
When the nurses came in,
They put me to sleep.
They smiled and told me I was strong.
They made me believe it.
I found more comfort in strangers,
Than I ever did with you.

impressions crystallise, shaped as our words
expressions we realise, mere symbols feeble
prayerful heart, by touch going deep inwards
delineates ineffable emotions through parables
each life sensation both immediate and intimate
enlivened in loving hues by our radiant heart
presence flutters, to subtle joy tremors gyrates
invisible flickers signal when bliss ignition starts
there is no way to freeze the frame of life vibrant
thus we attempt not, our soul in the void release
softening attention, to nuances of silence sentient
affirming as we please, like a gently flowing breeze

midst the flowers, trees
the butterfly flutters high
it's color beauty
colors fluorescent
rainbow wings satin pining
fly butterfly, fly

Road behind a tree
takes's noon of safety zone.
For the night, the place of light,
such as the clearance of spots of the shadow,
I wanted colored with green fluorescent color.

A cold, dark, and evil heart can become oh so fluorescent, this is yet another powerful message, a kind bright heart is the humans most deadliest weapon, you kill them with kindness, look back on the good times as if life had a rewind sense, but you will never find this.....there is a time when you focus on good not the bad....be thankful for everything that we have, on the inside your soul is hurting but on the outside no ones knows because all you do is laugh, our heart can transform communities and uplift the unity of you and me, even though most might seem cavalier but shoot for their dreams like that basketball player that wears 2 and 3.....so delete all the nonsense and foolery, God bless the soul who pursued the dream.

Fields grow in a tantrum of noise, lightened up eyes rush towards the glint,
Twisted strands and torn seams, fixed stares and pennies for the well.
A shadow upon your silhouette and covered from the sun, circled by absense.
An ethereal night, fluorescence lit a ladder to the roof.
Sculpted from the forest, and blown from the wind,
Sat in a fog of absolute serenity, hours still to gracefully fall.
Stems spiral as the moonlight shines blissfully and bright,
Like undressed eyes glued to a delicate painting,
Showered in essence, we sit, and we glow.

My fluorescent beauty, with lips so pink and fruity
With a smile that's flawless an cutie
With skin, radiantly silky smoothie
And a kiss, so wet and drippingly juicy
like her melanin sista, illuminant with a glow
All that of a Lioness, let good vibes flow
take notice, this stand out, dreadlock girl
there are many like her, just saying, Wow!

salt flats
stretch for miles
in grocery stores
chip isle, frozen foods
seven and thirteen, respectively
reflect their shine
of white light
enticement
all organisms dried up,
fifteen per cent more, but lacking
in this pre-packaged
wasteland
where nothing ever grows
or dares to walk without
a list to double check.
