Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse
wanted to buy a fancy estate house
went scurrying to a corporation bank
found it full of greedy glitzy hanks !
there's a ghost in my glitter filled room
that reminds me of you
and says, "you are my only muse"
night is the hour of peace
but once the clock strikes at midnight
the ghost comes out to take me to hell
loving you was never a crime
but when i'm trying to move on
your memories still lingering around this time
Not all glittery fishes are gold
They are fishes
And when his eyes met mine on the glittery night,
Just that moment when universe forgot every plight,
Every drop of my blood turned shimmery,
Those Stars above could see how I wronged every right.
Yes, his eyes searched me ,
Couldn't resist his smile , I had to see.
Damn those cheeks of mine couldn't stop the pink,
And to stop me from flowing into his eyes , mine had to blink.
And ah ! My art of staying calm,
The way I resisted his charm,
They started snoozing! Those adrenaline alarms,
And l pulled myself together stepping back from every harm.
Pretty sure, Those hormones were on peak,
But praise those brains, this girl ain't that weak.
A hopeless romantic? Yes I am
What? Me in love? No way it's a scam!
I have a pink glittery dairy
It is there when I sleep it is there when
I dream and sometimes it is there when I scream
I write what i do everyday in it
I write everything from going out or staying home in Quarantine
I write in it everyday so if you want to ask me about my day you can just peak and seek
Jittery glittery tree
A mouse ran up the Christmas tree
Scaring the life from the fairy
Cat did too, with dog in pursuit
'Twas a fiasco and quite hairy.
Fairy's heart raced seeing the chase
The dog bit the cat on the bum
The tree lights flashed, the tree it crashed
And cat had the mouse in a scrum.
Poor fairy flew off, nerves were shot
It wasn't how a Christmas should be
She cared not a jot for this lot
Her intention was to seek peace.
The lady of the house rushed in
To find what was making the din
Kids lovin’ home movie herein
Were sent to bed with a warnin'
Mother had to clear up the mess
While dad took the cat to the vet
Mouse ran away from the affray
Mice who have laughed last, laugh best.

Glittery white snowflakes
Falls from heavens winter
cold and frozen crystals fly and fall from the North
Cold, miserable snow sleet comes down
Falling, flying like a flag in the breeze
Flying and falling driven like a man in a auto on a mission
Heavens winter falls from
Glittery white snowflakes

written in Octopoem poetry verse style
She is brown and she has curls
When she smiles, her eyes shined like pearls
She has a gift and that is LOVE
She gave it so freely to everyone below and above...
She was the energy, she was the vibe
Every place she went, she made her tribe!
Glittery shoes and silky clothes,
Her dreams where above and beyond the walls...
Stay kind and have courage they said,
She practiced it so well, she could be a maid!
Confidence took time but made it's way,
When she wore those shoes, it made her fly..
Well, she did have her ups and downs
But learnt well to deal with the clowns
Today she knows if it's clowns or Kings
For she took her time to learn with her own wings...
She danced her pain out and believed in a new day
For happiness is the key! Just force it, I say..
Her talents are many but she loves to pray
She has seen the magic, you can say if you stay...
Ambivalent pink heaven
merging softly into ethereal earth’s stratosphere
With a vibrancy and star plunk,
repainting the world with glittering hope.
Sprinkling it with love stars,
surrounding the dreamers with uplifting majesty.
God smiled benevolently as He watched His angels at work,
Revitalizing His young…
We are reclaiming them one soul at a time,
His positive cupids assured Him. He knew.
They were on a mission,
inspired by the despondency and greed
they had witnessed.
The souls began to arrive in glitches and gasps,
nurtured in the heart of heaven,
As their flesh bodies slept, not realizing their souls
were in full astral travel mode,
Being cosmically corrected….

Glittery crystals
An icicle canopy
Wintery beauty
A nightmare for some drivers
Treacherously beautiful
Tell me this tale of the sun flash
Across your face, too hot, harsh,
Your candid stories like fairy tales;
To ears harrass our illumined faces,
Indeed. I learn laughter's lofty gales.
I will stare at your straight visage-
Water and steel of similar, sly page,
Smooth, flawless in its frank portrayal
Of myself. I should know how rumpled
Water grow into ripples of a storied age.
Yet you Mirror, is yet so smooth;
A worthy canvas, a brushes' tooth,
Fluffy. You narrate my falls and glory
In solemn reflective manner, yours only.
I'm humbled by your simlple, arcane story.
Deep ocean darkness
lucid stars as small fireflies
splendor of midnight
