WE
Donkey.
Elephant.
Right, left, or center.
We The People are the core
Of our nation’s soul and we must defend her.
Radical agendas, violence and hate won’t do
We all must come together, black, white, red, blue; there’s so much more to do.
Solidarity and prosperity lifting all boats on its tide.
Put aside differences and focus on our goal.
We are the people,

Purple - An Analogy for Deception
the colour of the money stained my fingers
they’re no mere vignettes
but rather a cryptic cipher on a worn codex
the coin of acceptance amongst gilded sybarites
as the shades of the tenor of royalty beguile
then fade on labour-worn backs
preordained moves by shadow hands upon a chessboard
the influential players pandering to

Ravens and Lilies
‘When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives.’ - Lauren Eden
lilies and ravens
dance together making mud puddles
thick as salve caked on deep wounds
stemming not the ooze
tinctures from droppers
bitter herbs labeled for survival
use only as directed
replenish nothing
rancid birthday cakes
gleeful candles form dancing shadows
glassy story-telling eyes
yearn desperately
gleaming steel

Branches of Belonging
I was born with the meaning of home
running through my veins,
like sunlight weaving
through branches,
casting warmth on cold earth.
In shadows, I gathered light,
each ray a promise,
each beam a whisper
filling spaces of despair.
With hands outstretched,
I became a

BORN WITH HOME’S LIGHT
was born with the meaning of home running through my veins.-
Lauren Eden
Topic: Light
Suzette Prime: BORN WITH HOME’S LIGHT
A primal spark, a nascent gleam,
"Home" in the blood, a flowing
stream.
From that deep well, a radiance
springs,
A light that knowing instinct brings.
Each tendril born, a sunlit thread,
Where hearth and haven softly
spread.
No searching gaze, no fumbling quest,
This

2. "When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives."

shadows lurk from the painful past tempting to look back
there were struggles which only made stronger and stronger
no sustenance on silver platter to relish from
lacked shiny lustre on day-to-day wearables

LIGHT
"I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins."
— Lauren Eden, The Lioness Awakens, Poems
Golden flicker
Through window cracks
Morning tiptoes across floorboards
Warm like whispers of a mother’s hug
It settles deep in my soul
Lighting lost hopes
Home glows

Light
the blood runs thin yet saturated with ideas
foreign and forgotten of home's idyllic nature
day's twinkle welcomed the white svelte blankets as
golden needles pierced deep through the fabric of her sky
the world's warm embrace held where happiness ebbed away
dragging and plodding until there was nothing left but
the last rain's cleansing nature
the world around was reborn
the rain

When Words Fail Me
I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins. ~ Lauren Eden
laughing, songs of surreal longings stirring
wide-eyed epiphanies glow
in silence, free like make believe, pretending
while sorrows meld with light’s spiritual leaves
knowing God’s love meant
goosebumps on naked moments
pouring out serenity into lives who believe
where colors of faith
meet amazing in His grace
and the stories

LOVE'S LIGHT
‘I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins.’ - Lauren Eden
light of love
prevails in our home
radiating kindness glow
triumphantly warming hearts
despite gloom-caused hurts
revealing concern and care
as empathy reigns
until now
gripping our children
and now lingering
brightening family’s legacy with gratitude
to God* Who is the Builder of love-lit homes
*Psalm 127:1 Except the Lord build the house,

When you are not fed love on a silver spoon you learn to lick it off knives
A silver spoon or a knife
They are both made out of metal
One showed strife
The other one disguise as a skettle
The edges are sharp, the wounds are real
But they don’t hurt as much as feeling unlovable
“I’ll do anything for you “ is all i want to hear
It got me doing the unthinkable
I would

‘When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives.’ - Lauren Eden

Ed had all his father's traits
blue-green soft eyes, reed physique
reckless, tempestuous streak
rich baritone, proud
untaught to love and be loved
After 12 Christmas dinners
whole dining table went cold
alone, he had to go rogue
young, kinless, awkward
learnt to hate and

‘I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins.’ Lauren Eden
inside the back door of our house our laughter rang out
as we sat chit-chatting around the kitchen table
playing board games or telling silly stories
upstairs at night we giggled in our bedroom
snacking on treats we had sneaked into our room
when dad would yell
