iridescent
luminescent
reminiscent
of childhood dreams
looks like
blinking lights
shooting stars in the night
when the lights
were cut off from nonpayment
sounds like
cellophane
on a cigarette pack
like
firefly wings scratching their backs
feels like
old butterscotch from grandma's purse
listening to the neighbors
fight and curse
running from bullies
thinkin, "Surely, my heart gone burst!"
taste like
cotton candy
a stolen sip of brandy
while your parents recuperate from the night before...
the night
filled with lights
and promises
and dreams

I am resilience, redefined as brilliance
This is anything but happenstance
or a lucky chance;
I was built to last.
My life has been composed of many an instance
full of hindrance and resistance
That knocked the wind smooth out of my sail,
And when I tried to inhale, even that wind was stale-
Musty, stagnant, sour, and dry
So dry that it dried up every tear that my eyes could’ve cried.
But I was gifted with a will that was strong,
And my patience with suffering was long
On the outside, to many, my condition seemed critical-
They laughed at me, because they thought me, an imbecile
All the while I was a warrior being prepared for the fight
A fighter whose weapon required more than sheer might
I am resilience, redefined as brilliance
I am flexibility bathed in light
.…‘Not by power, nor by might, but by My Spirit’, says the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)
Resilience, brilliance, bathed, light, might, power, KiCo, Conqueror

Circular
Cyclical
Unending
Spherical
.......Cycles.
Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Rinse. Lather-let's NOT repeat....The cycle goes on, unless we defeat
warped, twisted, distorted mindsets-
lest we forget
that our weapons of warfare are to demolish strongholds...
mindsets.
We can't be walking around blinded and undecided-
not in THIS spiritual climate.
No more Rinse. Lather. Repeat.
We must decrease and let Christ increase...
that's the only way that we can defeat
The Cycle.

Smoke and mirrors
An extreme illusion
Designed to implement and maintain confusion
So ingrained that it needn't be overt-
Only an allusion
See, there are forces in collusion
Your destiny? Your purpose?
They have designs to stop dat...murk dat...block dat- a preclusion
Smoke and Mirrors
Are designed specifically  to keep dat *** in check
Smoke and Mirrors know what you don't
We are infinite and powerful- we've had an infusion
Of The Almighty's essence
And when we realize this, our beings and our destinies will be in collusion
With this fact
It is inevitable
The strength knowledge, and power diffuses the delusion
Of good ole ordinary lives
Of good ole ordinary lies-
That this is all there is and
This is all I'm meant to be
Lies meant to guarantee your seclusion
From all of the infinite possibilities
To keep you from being and becoming The Elite
To guarantee your seclusion
From your birthright
You are an heir of eternity!
So don't welcome the inclusion
Of ******* realities
Accept and receive a transfusion
Of divine intelligence
MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!
Reject the Smoke and Mirrors
~K!co!
Smoke, mirrors, realities, lies, destiny, Kico, conqueror

There's a spiritual realm and there's this physical plane...
In the the spiritual realm, I'm a super hero, but in the physical- I'm just plain Jane...
In the spiritual realm, I brandish huge, shiny weapons, but in the physical- I'm a homemaker, making sure that my daughter gets her school lessons...
While y'all are tucked in, snug as a bug at night- I'm on another level, fighting for dear life...
I know some of y'all are gigglin and laughin-and that's quite alright...
But you need to be aware, because we super heros...we save lives.
We see, feel, and know things that you don't even know exist
Cause bwai, if you knew what I knew? You would throw a major hissy fit!
By day, I'm Clarketta Kent...
But at night, I kick demonic *****- with an artistic bent.
