StarlightStars burn bright
against the backdrop
of a velvet black sky,
pearls of light
coruscating through
a veil of darkness
like beacons
to distant worlds.
A celestial body’s radiance
becomes its fossil,
a luminous relic
preserved by the eternal
vastness of the cosmos,
forever whispering its secrets
across the canvass of time....

The king of my heart
In dreams, I saw you, dear friend so true,
A heart heavy with memories, tears anew.
You proposed with love in your eyes so bright,
But I denied, with doubts in the dark of night.
A sign in dreams whispered, "He's the one,"
But I rejected, my heart unsure, undone.
Life's full of wonders, twists and turns,
God's plans, a mystery that...

Oh, How We FellAncient howling came back to Earth
And before long more species followed
Some contested against this unnatural birth
But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
Then after a little - our world was swallowed
Even though we lacked a time machine
We ended back up in...

Our Planet, Our PowerBeneath the sky so vast and blue,
A world of wonder calls to you.
With mountains tall and oceans wide,
It’s ours to love, not just to bide.
The whispering trees, the rivers that run,
The golden fields beneath the sun,
All speak a truth we can’t ignore,
This planet’s life is at our core.
But storms now rage, and glaciers cry,
Smoke hides...

Everything and EveryoneI am a golden sunset after rain
A warm light emerging from pain
Sometimes blue, sometimes gray
Forever changing and experiencing the array
I am Venus and I am Mercury
The stars, the Earth, and the Sea
I am everything and everyone
Consciousness belongs to no one

Purple Dreams in Other RealmsOnce upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,
she shone like the midnight sun;
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!
Would you like to hear more about the fairy girl, whose name was Amethyst?
As...

Old Hands Chime Twelve
Old hands counted fingers to define,
That the hours in a day chime twice twelve,
That the months in a year toll what the old hands told.
Twelve apostles, tribes and days of Christmas do unfold
Twelve jurors decide, the twelfth is the hanged man card,
12 inches make a foot, 12 notes in an octave for a song...

Celestial Dance
A sun, a heart of incandescent fire,
Awakens silence, sets the void afire.
A silent hum, a gravitational sway,
Where cosmic dust begins its ancient play.
First Mercury, a whisper near the blaze,
A scorched terrain through sun-drenched hazy days.
No gentle breath, no liquid's silver gleam,
A hurried dance within the solar dream.
Then Venus veils, a shrouded toxic sphere,
Where pressure crushes...

American Horror StoryReading. Crying. Screaming.
Begging you to listen
You only believe what makes you feel good
You Laugh, and say "don't you know I'm a Christian?"
The only thing you question is science and empathy
Not lies, not religion, and not your racist parent's beliefs
Unconcerned with how your decisions affect us here and now
because you're so sure god is coming...

Under a pink moon
it’s a women’s circle
a uniting of female energy
a gathering to band as one
to have our voices heard
over the discordance
through peaceful means
aiming to channel the universe’s might
to soothe and heal the damage done
and nurture our planet if it’s not too late

Poetry Addiction
I can’t get enough
I must have more
I want more, I need more
More, more, more!
It’s what sustains me now
It’s what keeps me going
It’s what I must have to live
Keep ‘em coming!
It feeds my soul and tames my demons
I’m a better person because of it
It frees my spirit

Soupcon of Poetry
A little bit of this
A little hint of that
A little dash of freedom to express
A drop in da ocean
A tinge of fact and fiction
A whiff of wonder and wanderings
A shade of shivering
A trifle of truth and lies
A suspicion of conspiracies
A tad bit of laughter and tears...
