Light Up My Fantasy
"The essence of art is to recapture the fantasy and the imagination of a child again, but without the innocence of a child."
~Romare Bearden
she had been reaching for all the wrong stars
and told a dream would not take her far
she never allowed her imagination to let go of her hand
fear keeping her near on safe,

Sacred Algorithm of Mysteries and Time
Faced with dangers that linger in uncertain times,
Time and again, we’ve danced the spiral climb.
Who controls the strings, the sacred rites of flight?
The unseen hand beneath the veil of night.
Wi-Fi whispers through walls we can’t see,
A.I hums in algorithms, beyond ones and threes.
Empires fall, their ashes cradle keys,
To truths whispered by Templars, dragons, and seas.
Atlantis

Light Up My Life
A light shines brighter than the northern star
The brightness illuminates my heart
No longer do I feel darkness
My perspective is shifted to mirror ambition
With my new outfit, I embark on my journey
Lost within vibrancy & saturation, my mood transitioned
An understanding of subjects that eluded me
Blurry vision is now crystal clear
Taking

Defiant Spirits Light Up the Night
Amidst the tumult's fierce embrace, I alone must make a stand,
A symphony of will within my mind.
No chains of fate, no darkness can,
As boundless spirits upwards soar, in it's destiny where I make my stand.
Beyond the tempest's roar, I find my way,
With purpose forged, I greet each day.
Through trials untamed my shadow cast,
I rise unbroken,

Light Up Dark Rooms
The dark rooms in one’s mind unlit,
One is heading straight for a pit:
Will not take long the spot hit
While the injury just won’t fit!
Then, for dark rooms of the mind sit
As things about them have been writ
By pens with more goals than wished with,
Knowledge conjured and teeth won’t grit,
The–seen–with-the eye not a

Light Up the World
Why pen, if just only is to be adored?
For just creating only poetry, ethereal and planetary?
We live on this earth, so beset with misdeeds.
Should a poet dare write of these, and be afraid of poor reads?
Fairy tales, and princes are indeed, in some of our dreams.
But we turn our backs on our country’s most wanted

Light Up
Light up the room
So bright
That darkness can't hide.
Demons can't play.
So we can fight the darkness.
And be okay again.
So the light can shine through
The broken parts of
That feels like we
Can't go on any more.

One Person Can Light Up a Room
One person can light up a room.
I have seen it, and it is wonderful.
People can be sobbing, wailing, keening.
But one soul with the heart of joy
Can come in, and re-do everything in an instant.
People who did not want to feel a glimmer of joy
Are suddenly smiling through their tears.
It often happens during funerals when a

Fire Fly Light Up Pre-Dusk of Night-
firefly lightning
bug behinds his abdomen
wings fly whistling
~
at in the dark sparks
special parts attract sexist
to glow at pre-night
~
lit, light up like a,
flashing billboard on and off
fly with abdomen
~
emitting light flashing
turning on off during flight
glowing in flight

You Light Up My World
You light up my world
With wonders from your soul
Inspirations so alive and wise
They make me feel so moved
To believe and give and feel
All the joy the Lord has sent
You light up my world
With grace that soothes my angst
Music that sends laughter and tenderness
A sense of assurance that delights
With a gentle breath of pure insight
You light

Light Up a Poetic Soul
Giving to others, is really a gift to you.
Letting them know you like a poem. is always a good thing to do.
What's the point of doing holding back?
You might as well stay asleep in the sack.
We pen endlessly about love and passion.
But hold back with poet friends, a depressing fashion.
Do what you can, to put
