Scarlet Starr Poem
I had a magic pencil
So I drew myself a dream;
I'd known this world I thought I saw
Could not be all it seemed.
I walked up to my empty wall
And drew myself a door;
With one soft push it opened wide
And cautiously I stepped inside
Leaving all my fears behind me
Laying on the floor.
Beyond my doorway lay the world
As I knew it to be:
A canvas blank for each to paint
Their own Reality.
I saw the skies bleedingwith rainbows
From sleepless imaginations
And in my heart of heart
Of hearts I knew
This story I'd created
Would end-
As all such stories should-
In a cloud of butterflies...

Scarlet Starr Poem
Once upon a happy day
a robin sang a tune
of flowers, trees, and ocean breeze
and warm midsummer's moon
As Robin sang, the day grew long
and noon turned into eve...
clear notes fell last on shadowed grass,
but 'fore he took his leave
he turned to face the setting sun
and spread his wings out wide-
to moon and sun, to past and to-come,
to salt-kissed ocean starlight.
When bird took wing on humid air
the sand breathed in his song
And as he flew o'er waters blue
waves smiled and sang along.

Scarlet Starr Poem
After all is said and done,
Before the summer's end
Cradling our broken
Dreams when
Everything is dead, after all the
Fires fade and
Greatness falls to ashes,
Happiness a whispered rumor
In seas of deadmen's tears
Just to
Keep
Low spirits full through
Meand'ring years, when
No one's sure what
Once they knew, and what the
Point is now, when everyone's a bloodless
Queen of Hearts and Love is
Rare, all but forgotten...
Shunning rays of daylight just
To follow trails of stars
Until the last black dreams of
Verity are
Wiped clean from all our minds, a
Xenogenetic society, free from rights of birth,
Yet undeterred from pursuing dreams of our own plastic-smiled
Zealotry.
