Premium MemberLight 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.

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

Premium MemberLight 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.

Premium MemberOne 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

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

emitting light flashing
turning on off during flight
glowing in flight

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

Premium MemberLight 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
