Solstice

Did Earth feel slighted
For Her credit due
She turns our lives so carefully
For praises sparse and few

IQ

Every body's
Brilliant
Because before
We weren't
And now
We're everything

Insides

I spilled my guts
Filleted the heart

Spun my brain
And killed the lark

You turned away
Said
"How Obscene"

Glow

When snow falls
The world slows
And doesn't shun
The reminisce

Youth

For when the world was
My first and only love
And all the rest
A mystery

For when my time
Was infinite
And Destiny
A distant dream

Dawn

Imagine you a bird
That dared to fly the dark
Just to see the sun
Before it's fated spark

Esteem

Beaten and bruised
My lovely muse
