Enchantment
a vast universe filled with
enchantment
the cosmos beg for our undivided attention
but our minds are fluttering with
dissension
in order to see beyond our messy surroundings
we must take a step back
back to our core
remind ourselves that there is something more
a heaven can be found
there is infinite beauty all around
there is a place where
dissension subsides
a place where
everything incredible collides
a wonderland of the imagination
real to those who honor their fascination
laughter floats on the breeze
a beautifully messy clammer rustles through the trees
differences are embraced
as love takes Hateful’s place
a love so pure it cleanses the world
a love that yearns for nothing in return
unconditional
this kind love is no longer fictional
peace flows gently
protection from calamity
worn minds take a rest
floating on peace’s quiet chest
peace and celebration coincide
festivity is pulled in by the tide
the veil dropping
a mundane existence now blushing
luminosity dances in the air
vivid colors illustrate a world where people care
Human eyes are opened
the universe has fulfilled its call
its full beauty recognised by all
it’s vast extension far surpasses comprehension
the world is no longer a place of suspension
macrocosm bends it’s finger
in devout pleasure it motions
for the no longer mortal to paint it’s oceans
creation’s touch is like a declaration
art is admired in all its strange formation
chasing of dreams is no longer absurd
the passion in someone
is embraced by everything under the sun
a discovery of self
fulfillment
embracing what makes a person content
adventurers are born
humans notice nature’s adorn
the world grants bliss
to all it’s kingdom consists
heaven is out there
peel back life’s layers
to find the wonder we must all share
love truly
live passionately
embrace life’s insanity
never give up hope
heaven can be found within life’s infinite scope.

Marina Barham Poem
“You are in way over your head”
“Your eyes are screaming, but you smile instead”
Stop with this madness, I can’t take it any longer
My whole future depends on me being much stronger
“Did you forget the words they shot straight into you?”
“Relentless when they carved hatred on your skin like a tattoo”
Stop replaying, replaying, replaying what they said
My life is more than the horrible lies that they spread
“You must be reminded of who you are”
“You fake it every day but you’re covered in scar”
Maybe it’s true, I can leave this place but the words sink through.
Maybe it’s true, I’ll always be painted this pathetic shade of blue.
