Ariana shrugged facing Josh’s mocking clap the stringy harmonica rang acrobatically on the streetlights. He handed her a firebomb, eyes sharp as vinegar. They ran across the hot asphalt, watching the brass kite rise. Both caught in the whirlpool of the maze, they guided the trumpet, mandolin filling the air, sinking into the smokehouse. Her jacket flared,...

First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

Gallop vapor folded aluminum mare resonator Sun spits decorative decimals bleeding metal Scatter the hourglass pearl crown tidewater brine dusk Tongue sings driftwood bone galleys Captain Arcaro flew sideways through time, his boots full of fishbones, his teeth tuned to minor seventh. The geese were his crew— not honking but howling, in saxophone wails and accordion rhythms. Their wings left chalk outlines on the...

I wake up in a room full of mirrors, a funhouse of distortion where reality is blurred. I gasp, for in one of the mirrors, I see a young version of me— rocking and singing a lullaby to my newborn baby girl, with a full head of dark hair. By my side, a little boy with blue eyes and blond hair— a million-dollar family. Sighing...

Soft as hugs, tiny hands reach out when the tall one comes to make the silly sounds. Aaro forgets the dark warm place, this new world too big. * Blinks at bright lights and strange faces. Hears songs beyond the funny noises. Wrapped snug in soft blanket folds, Aaro wiggles on. * Dropping milk bubbles on fuzzy cloth, watches shapes moving above: close enough to grab. When...

If I were a dewdrop, I'd wish I were a blossom. If I were a blossom, I'd wish I were a butterfly. If I were a butterfly, I'd wish I were a dewdrop. Where does all the wishing end? In a little house, where there is golden honey light, a wind-kissed garden, some star-woven lullabies, and Grandmother, laying the tapestry of...

Today I’m grateful for lullabies. Those love songs our parents sang to us each night before we slowly closed our eyes…. Those same lullabies that even now when a new days about to start still play softly in our ears and soothe our waking heart ...

Laughter echoes, a sweet, bright sound, Opening hearts where joy is found. Luminous moments, a cherished array, Years of kindness, brightening the day. Blossoming beauty, a spirit so free, Embraced by love, eternally. Treasured memories, a heartfelt scene, Happiness flows, for this birthday queen. ©bfa031125 (Birthday of Lolybeth Baloy Tolentino)...

If I could, I would fetch you the moon on a spoon.. Dipped in the shimmer of midnight’s lagoon. I'd cradle the stars in the palm of my hand.. And scatter their light like the soft golden sand. I’d weave you a robe from the breath of a star.. Threaded with echoes of realms from afar. A crown made of fireflies,...

LYRIC Floating Like A Feather [] All these thoughts circling so I calmed my nerves and walked up to see Have you found any time to spend with me I'v grown so much I've found a need it's always been you It's always been me My loving fortress of dreams Come be redeemed Let's spend eternity together In a sea of belief Where waters run free...

If a lullaby shall set us free We shall sing of diamond dream We shall roam the hills of gold Where wind torn moments quickly dissolve We shall find a peace of mind to heal our souls and rise inclined to conquere the strife of each days toil to plant a seed in the richest soil Quickly rising beautifully infused...

Lay your head lad, upon my breast. Stay safe in my arms, Mama's nest. Take from me nourishment you need. Wake for a time so you may feed. Then back to dreams of angels song. Been away from them, not too long. For from heaven, you came to me. Your destiny waits, but now... sleep....
